52 Chapter 51 - Reward?

I didn't know what she meant by that. Thank her? But why? She sent me to my death and didn't even give me the reward she promised.

'What do you mean I didn't give you your reward? Didn't you evolve?' D said. I stared at the phone for a few seconds and then began to think about everything that had happened since I went to help Kumoko.

For some reason, I didn't die. What's more, I managed to kill my mother quite easily, and when she tried to run away, she couldn't do it.

'So you were the one who saved me then?'

'What do you mean? It wasn't me.'

'It wasn't you? Then how did I survive?' If it wasn't her who helped me when my mother was about to kill me, does that mean it was another God? Did D see what happened?

'I didn't see anything.' D said.

'Are you sure? I was even teleported to another place. I wasn't in the same place I was when my mother attacked me.'

'...'

'But what happened doesn't make much sense... Kumoko was running away from our mother, but she shouldn't have been able to do it. My mother would have been able to control her.'

'You're a bit right about that. But I don't want to talk about that. I want to talk about your reward.'

'My reward was leveling up. You helped me kill my mother, didn't you? When she tried to escape, she couldn't. Besides, she looked dumb, very dumb.'

'I didn't interfere that much. The only thing I did was stop her from running away from you.'

'Hm... Why did you take me to Kumoko to help her?' Thinking about it, maybe she wanted Kumoko and me to meet.

Maybe she gave up on the idea of keeping us apart. D likes to entertain herself. Perhaps she thinks Kumoko and I should stay together.

'I'm going now. I've kept my promise. Now keep having fun because I'm having much fun too.' D's tone of voice had finally changed. She sounded a little excited.

So that's it, she's having fun. It makes sense.

She finds it fun to watch everything I do... And now, with me and Kumoko, it'll be even more fun for her.

'Right, I'll keep you entertained. But can you promise me that you won't interfere with anything from now on? I'm afraid that if you keep showing up or talking to me, the God who brought me into this world won't show up.'

'...'

'I think he's a shy God.'

With those last words, the cell phone disappeared. D didn't even answer me.

I stared at the air briefly and then went after Kumoko. 

'What should I do to entertain her and myself? The only thing I can think of right now is the human hunt I had already planned.'

'You got a lot of food. Are you going to eat it all?' Kumoko had brought three whole monsters to eat.

'I'm hungry. Can you cook for me using your magic like last time?'

I cooked the meat for Kumoko, and then she tasted it. Kumoko ate it all quickly.

'Are you ready to start hunting? I will get some strong monsters and give you their experience.'

'Are you sure? Don't you want to level up quickly?'

'I told you this before, but the monsters here don't give me much experience anymore. That's why I wanted to go out and hunt humans.'

'I still think that's a bad idea.' Please stop it. You're not even human and never have been! 

I wanted to say that to her, but I stopped myself.

'... Let's go. I thought about getting the ability to 'hypnotize' monsters again, but it isn't necessary.'

'You're too strong. I'm sure you can subdue a monster just by looking at it.'

'It won't be that easy.'

Kumoko and I destroyed our houses and walked through the labyrinth together in search of monsters. We found weak monsters along the way, and Kumoko killed them all without my help.

I decided to walk as far away as possible this time.

We've only lived in the same area for a long time, and this labyrinth is gigantic. We should explore it.

And after a few hours of walking, we finally found something interesting.

It was a narrow path with an infernal heat coming from it.

'Don't tell me...'

'Do you know what this is?' Kumoko asked. She didn't have fire resistance and was very uncomfortable with the heat.

'It's the other layer of the labyrinth. A layer covered in lava.'

'Lava? Nai waa! I don't want to go there.'

'There are some monsters there that taste good.' I said to Kumoko. She started drooling but shook her head, refusing to fall for the temptation.

'If I go to that place, I'll die! I don't have the fire resistance like you.'

'Don't worry, you'll get it if you stay there for a while. You gain skills easily, don't you?'

'Easily? No, of course not. Do you know how hard it was to get some of these skills?'

'Right, right~~ But I'll go there. You can wait here if you want.'

'But how are you going to get through this narrow path? You're too big.'

'I'm still thinking about it...'
