nKumo Desu ga, Nani ka? Chapter 2

n2 Looks like I'm a monster

nWell, it's regrettable to say that I have been reincarnated into a spider.

nAlthough I accept the fact that I'm a spider, what should I do now?

nMunch Munch!

nFor some reason, I heard a threatening sound.

nUn.

nIt's no good to turn my eyes away from reality.

nBefore my eyes, there is the spider army that is probably considered as my siblings.

nThey are the only one who can produce the sound.

nI glance ahead quietly.

nMunch Munch!

nHogyaa!?

nWhat are they doing!?

nHuh, are they eating?

nThey are preying on one another!?

nThe struggle to live between my siblings is what I can see.

nNo no no no!

nThis is bad, this is really bad!

nWhy must I fight against my blood related siblings!?

nAh, it's for food.

nThey are all hungry.

nIn fact, I am also hungry too.

nHa!?

nNono.

nI escape from the reality again.

nIn such a battlefield, I am just a innocent girl that will fall into the clutches of men in a blink of an eye.

nLiterally, it's a metaphor!

nFight

nTools

nEscape ←

nThe only way to get through this situation is to beat a retreat.

nShould I fight?

nImpossible.

nI am a genuine go-home club.

nThere's no way I can fight with such violent group.

nAh! My current appearance is the same as them.

nUn.

nI should escape if I have the time to think about useless things.

nZUN!

nNow, what is it!?

nA sound and vibration from the rear.

nWhen I turn around, there was a huge spider.

nOh! Is it mother?

nOr is it father?

nThis isn't going anywhere.

nI'm even confused now.

nIsn't that spider way too BIG!?

nIt's probably ten times of my size.

nWas there a spider that big on Earth?

nHyoi, Chomp.

nAh.

nThe huge spider stab the smaller spider with its claw and ate it.

nIt's like eating a snack.

nMother, even you...! ( TL note: You too, Brutus parody)

nIt looks like it uses its bottom to think.

nI should run away from here safely and aim to survive for now!

nI escaped at full speed.

nI finally calmed down after I was tired of running till I can't even move anymore.

nThere's no spider chasing after me even if I turn around.

nAh, I thought I was gonna die.

nDeath immediately after I was born is not a good joke.

nNow that I am conscious, I have think about various things.

nI am currently a spider.

nIt's a fact that must be accepted already.

nWell, there's no such technique where a human can jump over their own height easily and run on vertical walls.

nWhat am I talking about?

nIt's a story about escaping.

nWith so many spiders in a place, it's impossible to escape by running straight.

nIf I were to compare it and say, it should be like charging into a bargain sale where there's a crowd of auntie.

nWhat a reckless act!

nNo, well, I didn't even charged into a bargain sale before though.

nAnyway, when I was escaping, I jumped and ran on the wall just like a ninja and escaped from the spider encirclement.

nWhen I was running, I had an uncomfortable feeling because of the amount of legs but somehow I manage to move it properly without getting entangled.

nIs it the so-called natural instinct?

nUn, well, being able to move my body without any inconveniences is a good thing.

nSo if I am a spider, then what was that super huge spider that I saw a while ago?

nUn.

nConsidering the situation, was that really my mother or my father?

nI don't know much about spider's ecology but a parent who eats their own child should be in the natural world.

nWell, it's a race where from the moment they are born, they started preying on each other so it shouldn't be strange that the parent eats its own child.

nIf that huge spider is my parent, then will I become that size someday?

nI'm starting to feel sick just by thinking about it.

nNo, spider is a beneficial insect which helped other people. Isn't it better rather than the me in my previous life?

nHuh, how strange, somehow I'm sad now.

nAh, no no.

nLet's return to the thought that had strayed a while ago.

nComparing with that huge spider by the size of my body will be too much.

nBecause I don't know how big is my body is.

nIf my size is just like a fingertip then it's good.

nIf so then I can understand the size of that huge spider.

nStill, it should be around the size of a tarantula.

nHowever, if my size is bigger then that huge spider should be a new kind that is yet to be discovered on earth.

nAn undiscovered new species is still okay but I have experienced a reincarnation like in a fantasy so optimistic thinking is probably not good.

nTo confirm it, I have to find out my size without delay.

nIs there anything that I can compare my size with?

nI looked around the surroundings.

nIt seems that I'm inside a rather big cave.

nAlthough there's no light, the view is favorable even it's dim.

nI looked around restlessly.

nOh, Th-This is!

nWhat's on the ground was people's footprints.

nOh!

nThe are footprints of several people are left clearly!

nIn other words, it means that a person came here before.

nThat means there's human in this world.

nI'm deeply moved when I know there was a person.

nOn the contrary, I realized a terrible fact.

nMy body was way much bigger than the footprint of a person.

nUn.

nAssuming that the height of the person is around 170cm, my size will be approximately 1m length.

nAah, un.

nI had slightly thought so since I saw that huge spider.

nNo matter how I think, I am not a spider that's living on Earth,

nIn other words, this is a different world unlike the Earth and no matter how positive I think, I am definitely a monster....Thank you very much!
