Chapter 11
→ Arwintar Rockbruise-mansion / Leinas ←
Leinas woke up early and did her usual morning routine. She would do her workout, then eat breakfast and then a bit more training. Her place was now a much happier place. She had gotten rid of the black curtains and had replaced them with white ones. She now wore her hair in a ponytail, since she didn't hide a nonexisting curse anymore. She looked at herself in the mirror and was lost in her right eye.
One of her servants knocked on the door and opened it. He wore a gray tunic with brown pants and had brown hair.
"Lady Rockbruise? There are a few people in the foyer who want to talk to you. One of them claims to be your father, mam." He reported and Leinas shuddered.
"Thank you. Don't serve there for the time they are there. I will go in a bit" Leinas smiled and the servant nodded.
"This scum, those degenerates. Calm down Leinas" Leinas thought angrily and looked back into the mirror and smiled again. She decided to make them wait a bit.
After roughly half an hour Leinas began to move. She walked down the floors of her mansion, which were in black marble and had golden patterns. A blue carpet was on the floor. She actually liked the coloring of red and black better, but red and black extremely went to the foyer and saw three distinct people sitting.
One was once her father. He had become quite fat. He had blond hair and a mustache. His clothing was a pompous blue overcoat with white pants. His shoes were black with a golden pattern. He also had a saber with him, which Leinas knew was nothing noteworthy, it was only for parades. She remembered him being named Gerhard Rockbruise Ari Styx.
The other man was wearing similar clothes, though he only had a smaller visible belly. He also looked younger than her father. They always thought the same, if Leinas remembered correctly. His name was Plumrim Rockbruise Ari Styx, he was the former brother of Leinas.
The women amongst the four had long blond hair and were thin, though seemingly weak in comparison to what Leinas had partly seen from others. She wore a blue dress with a golden pattern and was obviously carrying her nose higher than most of the nobles Leinas had met.
All three were sitting at a table with five seats. She looked at them with barely hidden anger in her eyes. They seemed to be impatient and then she walked to the seat at the head of the table.
"What brought you here?" Leinas spat.
"We are here to make sure you do your part for the family." Her father proclaimed.
"I don't remember us being a family." Leinas replied, balancing her flask with tea.
"But daughter, you must remember how nice you got it, thanks to us" her mother tried.
"I remember something about being disowned, thrown out and officially cut off from the family. Therefore I don't understand why you fathom any thoughts about something called a family with the context of me." Leinas answered coldly.
"Surely you jest, sister. We are your family" Her brother tried.
"Nah. I remember the day I asked all three of you for help. Every one of you laughed in my face and said that I got what I deserve, since I am a cursed girl. Now I am an adult and earn my own money. I got my cure for my curse thanks to other sources and will be repaying that debt to the one. I got famous for my skills and deeds. Now I am cured and seen in a good light you want to profit. Sadly the world doesn't work that way. I will not help any of you. Get lost and don't dare to approach me again. I hate all of you for your betrayal." Leinas hissed.
"Please darling, we can talk it out. After all, you will be married." Her former brother smiled.
"I will not be married to someone you chose, for one simple reason. My former fiance is promised to the daughter of family Rockbruise Ari Styx. I am NOT their daughter and therefore not the one promised. I would also not go between you and that woman. Now get out or I throw you out by myself. I hate all of you and don't want to see you all again." Leinas replied and had a big scorn on her face. She already hated this day.
After this meeting she went to her servant and ordered him to never let them enter as long as she didn't allow it. The servant understood and Leinas went to prepare for duty. She would guard the emperor today and would later meet her master.
→ Arwintar Nazarick-mansion / Arachama and Zesshi ←
Arachama woke up in her living room and walked calmly into her bedroom. She saw the abdomen of a black widow. It had a black body with a white insignia, her insignia, and small white hair. The upper body was more mature but otherwise not changed. She saw Zesshi shake a bit.
"Morning my new daughter." Arachama soothed and Zesshi shot up. Sadly she didn't know how to use her body properly and fell to the floor.
"Enti, I want you to teach Zesshi how to traverse in her new body and to keep her silk under control."Arachama orders over "Message".
"Understood mother. I will do my best." Enti replied and Arachama smiled.
"One problem solved, now to the other one." Arachama thought and began fuming, once she remembered Ninyas brazen character. She walked over to the western part of the mansion and saw Arche and her sister tolling around a bit. She smiled and cuddled a bit with them. Once the sisters had enough cuddling they then trained their respective summons again, while Arachama took out a key to the room of Ninya. She opened and found a surprising view.
Ninya was sitting there in her bed and crying her eyes out. She had obviously cried a lot, since some of the silk was heavily drenched. Arachama also looked around the room and saw that it was mostly barren, only with the bed being in here. The windows now had bars, hindering any attempt at running away.
"Ara ara. Ninya. What did you try?" Arachama tried to smile and saw Ninya crying more.
"I didn't want to be a monster, '' Ninya replied.
"I was asked by my friend Ainz. The alternative would have been a mindless undead. I think that in comparison you got off better." Arachama said and stepped a bit closer.
"It was terrible. They instantly believed me to be the killer. I didn't even get a chance to explain my innocence" Ninya erupted into tears.
"That is the cruel card we all have to accept. Sadly most humans don't have any sense of dignity and much less justice. They assume that we do bad things based on our species. They sometimes do it against each other too." Arachama replied and stepped closer again.
"It was so hard to see their eyes with so much fear." Ninya cried out.
"Ara ara. Please don't be sad about it. We are lucky to have one another. Here you are at least safe, as long as you are obedient to me." Arachama smiled and made the last step. She saw the expression on Ninya shake a bit and then she saw the last resolve of Ninya disappear.
"I have learned that lesson the hard way." Ninya sniffed and hugged Arachama.
"So you will now serve me, as my daughter, better and without complaining about your very existence?" Arachama asked.
"I will do as you order. I just ask for the rescue of my sister." Ninya remembered Arachama.
"We have a deal and I will uphold my part and demand your part." Arachama smiled and Ninya gave a small smile.
"I thank you, lady Arachama" Ninya's smile grew.
"We will start your lessons tomorrow together with the others." Arachama nodded and cuddled a bit with Ninya. The emotional wreck needed to be taken care of, though Arachama was already planning to at least help Ninya in her new body. After nearly an hour she left Ninyas room. She walked to her office to get up to date with the reports. The small plundering spree and the fight against Shalltear had taken quite some time.
The next two weeks would prove quite relaxing, she would use this time to cuddle with all her children and spend time with them. This included teaching them and playing with them. She felt at home, though it could have more children, at least in the eight eyes of Arachama. She had a great time, at least until Arachama got a call from Monga and Albedo.
→ Arwintar Imperial-palace / Jircniv and Fluder ←
Fluder had a great day. He had a clear view on his situation of the empire, knew how his new master thought of him as valuable and was learning new spells and theories on mana and spells. He even managed to gain lost knowledge in the arts of entomancy, thanks to lady Arachama.
He even saw that Leinas was making progress as a human. Leinas became more open and was happier, even though she obviously hated her family. That was sadly all he saw about the four imperial knights, since they were not really of concern to him. The only reason he even cared a bit about Leinas was thanks to the fact that they served the same master.
Jircniv meanwhile was looking at a map that was spread on a big table. Fluder knew that this was every quarter of a year and waited for Jircniv to make his thoughts known. Fluder would also see his new master with Leinas later that day.
"Say, old man, how possible do you think is it to conquer this damn kingdom this year? I would like to get this show over with." Jircniv asked.
"I think we should keep on for a few years. The nobles are ruining their reputation and income with the annual wars, while we only lose a few men '' Fluder answered, knowing this isn't the answer the emperor seeked.
"How likely do you think it is that Arachama is using her magic in this battle? Could it bring us the victory faster?" Jircniv rephrased his question.
"I will ask her later today." Fluder smiled.
"I also want to meet her or at least have a more direct way to communicate with her," Jircniv said, while Fluder nodded.
"I could ask for a meeting at her place, since she is quite fragile." Fluder replied.
"Just as I hate to walk to my subordinates, if she is so fragile I would get there." Jircniv rolled his eyes.
"I also got weapons from their homeland. They are of good quality. Here is the report on that. If you wish, I can tell her our results and ask her for a trade agreement to be made when you visit." Fluder smiled and placed a report on the table.
"That would be great. I will read through the report when you leave for Arachama." Jircniv replied.
"That would be great. I also included a written account on a few developments within the kingdom, which are of interest. At least for me" Fluder said and Jircniv nodded.
"Then move out. Leinas should be here any moment. I also have a letter for Arachama on the table." Jircniv smiled.
"As you wish." Fluder smiled and went out.
He collected the letter and Leinas and they walked through the streets. Leinas was visibly angry and Fluder could guess why.
"So your family is bothering you?" Fluder asked.
"Yes. If they dont leave me to myself they will regret it. Though I should maybe ask lady Arachama?" Leinas answered.
"I could speak with Jircniv about a molesting noble." Fluder winked and Leinas laughed.
"Nah. Then they would lose nothing. I want them to suffer. I will ask Lady Arachama. If she acts against them they will certainly lose" Leinas smiled.
"If you wish." Fluder grinned.
"How is your apprenticeship with her going?" Leinas asked.
"It is great. I found my former disciple and know her whereabouts. I learn more about the lost art of entomancy and am able to improve in my favorite art." Fluder replied.
"Ahh. That is good. I am certainly happy about my arrangements. What is in that letter? Do I need to know something?" Leinas asked.
"Only that the emperor wants to meet her in person. He is even willing to meet her in her mansion." Fluder grinned, Leinas whistled and smiled.
"I hope he knows not to trifle with her." Leinas replied.
Fluder simply nodded. The rest of the way was silent until they were greeted by one of the maids. She led them to lady Arachamas living room. There she sat on a big couch and cuddled with an unknown arachne.
"Good day, lady Arachama" both said and kneeled. The new face turned to them and Arachama smiled.
"Good morning. Zesshi, this is one of my disciples and one of my contractors. Please say hello" Arachama smiled and Fluder saw Zesshi trying to grope Arachama, though she failed.
"Good morning Fluder Paradyne and knight" Zesshi replied, a bit of need in her voice.
"Do I know you?" Fluder asked and then it dawned on him.
"I am the extra seat of the black scripture, or better, was it." Zesshi replied, grinning.
"Ahh. Yes I remember. We met one time when I visited the Theocracy. How do you find yourself in the arms of the benevolent lady Arachama?" Fluder smiled.
"Ara ara. Flattery at this hour?" Arachama grinned and Fluder smiled.
"The Theocracy fell and I simply surrendered. It turned out good though." Zesshi replied while freeing one arm and kissing Arachama on her cheek.
"I see. Would be quite bad for your goal to die against such a foe." Fluder remembered and Zesshi nodded.
"Though I have found a merciful mother" Zesshi smirked and looked at the knight, obviously a bit of venom in her eyes.
"I am Leinas Rockbruise. Good to know you." Leinas presented herself and Fluder saw Zesshi smile again, the venom now gone.
"Back to topic. Fluder, we will train your summon of "Spider Cleric". It is a tier 4 summon and will heal the summoner. It is only as tall as my hand, has nearly no HP and will certainly die at one hit. But it can heal you all the time, if you get injured it will heal nearly all status effects like poison, curse and burning. It cannot revive or fight" Arachama explained while Fluder nodded along. He understood what Arachama meant and made mental notes where to change the lie to the "Corner Spider".
"I understand. Though I also bring news from the palace. The emperor wishes to meet you on two topics. He wants to speak to you about shipments for those weapons and wants to ask for your help in the annual war. He knows that your body is fragile and therefore even thought about visiting you for the meeting." Fluder reported and Arachama nodded.
"If he wishes to speak to me I will receive him tomorrow afternoon." Arachama nodded.
Fluder saw the motherly side of Arachama sigh while the side of the arachne smirked.
"I will tell the emperor." Fluder replied and Leinas stepped forth.
"Lady Arachama, would it be possible to help me with a certain problem?" Leinas asked and Arachama looked confused.
"What problem?" Arachama asked and tilted her head.
"My former family tried to force me back into their family. I don't want any contact with them and I certainly don't want them to annoy me any further." Leinas said.
"How old are you?" Arachama asked and Leinas looked confused.
"I am 20 years old, why?" Leinas asked.
"Where I am from, you are only an adult when you reach the age of 21. I could legally adopt you there." Arachama smiled and Leinas nodded.
"Sadly it will not be possible here." Fluder interjected.
"Why?" Leinas became frustrated.
"Because in our country you are an adult at the age of 16." Fluder replied.
"That is true" Leinas looked defeated.
"I could give you a few scrolls, with the spell "Locked Lock". This spell is only tier 3 and can lock any lock in a way that only the user of the spell or people with the person's permission can open it. Sadly it needs to be renewed so often, but I can guarantee you a supply of those." Arachama smiled and Leinas nodded deeply.
"That would be great." Leinas replied and Arachama nodded.
"Ask Foire or Fith on your way out. Fluder, here is another book about monsters. Ainz is sure that you would like to copy it for your academy." Arachama ordered and Fluder nodded.
They left the living room and Fluder collected the items lady Arachama spoke off. Leinas and he then walked to Leinas mansion. She walked inside and it was obvious that she prepared the item Arachama offered Leinas. After a short while Leinas came back and they got moving again to report to their emperor.
They reached the palace after a short walk and went directly to Jircniv. He was lying on his couch and reading through reports. He barely realized that they were inside the room until he read through a few more pages and then placed the report back on the table before his couch.
"So it went well?" Jircniv asked.
"Yes, emperor. She would like to meet you tomorrow afternoon, sadly her body is not capable of moving to the palace, but she would receive you at her mansion with great honor." Fluder reported
"That will not be a problem, since I want her help. I will take Leinas with me then. If we can gain substantial help we could make the annual war more easy for us." Jircniv smiled and the two nodded.
"Now then. I let you do your parts, while I will read these reports" Jircniv ordered and both left.
→ Arwintar Nazarick-mansion / Arachama ←
Arachama waited a bit until Fluder and Leinas left, thinking about her progress within this world. She was quite happy to have dealt with a dangerous threat. She even began to place roots within both nations. Her thoughts were interrupted by Zesshi. Since Zesshi got here she slept in the room from Arachama, much to the displeasure of Enti.
"Ara ara. Zesshi, what did I tell you about touching me there?" Arachama sighed, taking every bit of control not to give in.
"I know my mother. I just can't stand it, please" Zesshi replied and Arachama sighed. She then cuddled with Zesshi a bit more and Zesshi calmed a bit.
"Why do you try to get into my rhetorical pants?" Arachama asked.
"You are strong and I feel like I owe you a big deal." Zesshi flushed and Arachama sighed.
"I love you too, but as a child. " Arachama tried.
"That would not work mother." Zesshi replied.
"Ara ara. Sadly I will leave for Nazarick today. I want you to stay in the living room." Arachama smiled and gave Zesshi a kiss and then used "Gate" to get into her spider paradies.
She then got dressed into formal clothes. She now wore a black Victorian dress with her sigil in red printed on the back. It reached her back to the tip of her abdomen. The front reached over the front legs and nearly went till the ground. While she felt a little immobilized, she knew that this was a dress for more formal meetings. Sadly her sunhat didn't fit the dress. But her parasol did. It was red with her sigil in black on it.
Once dressed she teleported to the office from Monga. She knocked and heard a big hussle and paper tower fall over. She simply entered and was greeted by Albedo humping Ainz.
"Ara ara. Why don't you two take a room? I will deal with the fall out for now. Maybe afterwards you have a bit less stress in your systems" Arachama smiled and saw Monga shimmering green.
"Excuse me lady Arachama" Albedo jumped off Monga and pleaded.
"Just go with him to his room. I have everything under control" Arachama smiled and Albedo nodded.
"Take this Monga" Arachama grinned and tossed a "Doppelganger Ring" at Monga. These rings allowed it to take a different form for a short while. For instance the form of an incubus or other demons.
Monga meanwhile shimmered again and Albedo simply took him into her arms and carried him to his room bridal style.
"Aren't they a sweet couple?" Arachama asked while Mare looked traumatized and Cixous, one of the homunculi-maids, nodded.
"What were they doing, lady Arachama?" Mare asked.
"Ohh. I will not do the bees and the flowers with him." Arachama nearly shouted her thought.
"When you are older Mare. Now tell me how it is going right now?" Arachama smiled and Mare smiled innocently.
"I am doing great lady Arachama." Mare replied and smiled.
"What do you need then?" Arachama petted Mare.
"I was sent by Demiurge to give documents to lord Ainz." Mare exclaimed proudly.
"Ahh. So is this document?" Arachama smiled and held a document up. Mare nodded.
"You did great, Mare. I will take over now, please guard the sixth floor dutifully" Arachama said and smiled at Mare, who nodded, bowed and then left the room.
"Cixous, please bring me some Salad with some steak. I will meanwhile work through some of the papers." Arachama smiled and Cixous followed her orders. Arachama meanwhile looked over the finances and then was working her way through the reports from Sebas and Cocythus.
Cixous was back fast and Arachama bega eating the Salad when the door swung open. Through the door went a much more relaxed Albedo and a green shimmering Monga.
"Ara ara. So you finally took your time?" Arachama grinned knowingly.
"Yes lady Arachama. I thank you for your kind help" Albedo smiled happily.
"No problem. Can't have you around important documents if you are worked up about your strong desires, right?" Arachama replied and then looked at Monga.
"Why did you do this?" Monga asked.
"Ara ara. It is part of the consequences of your action or their lack of. You know what you did to the text. Now it is like it is and you will make her a happy wife. Might as well give me some grandchildren" Arachama smiled and placed her hands on her chest in a dramatic fashion.
"I will get you back for this, one time for sure." Monga replied and Arachama giggled.
"We should go back to business, since that was the reason for me to get here." Arachama said and Monga nodded.
"Cocytus' army was destroyed in the fight against the Lizardmen. We will make a grand entrance and then look from there. I want you to come with me there." Monga smiled and Arachama nodded.
"I understand sadly I can't take Enti with me since she is busy preparing my living room for tomorrow. I will need to hide my abdomen behind pillows and more pillows." Arachama sighed.
"Then use the "Doppelganger Ring" and take the form you need." Monga replied and Arachama stared at him.
"You are right. Why didn't I think of it?" Arachama thought loud and Monga shimmered green after giggling.
"What is your plan in the Baharut Empire for now?" Monga asked
"I will have a meeting with their emperor tomorrow afternoon. At my mansion, since I am a "fragile" woman that is extremely capable in magic. He wants my magic for their annual war. I am already thinking if I will be doing this, so that they grow dependent on my magic. While I dont have a problem killing humans, since I more or less see them as food, with few exceptions, I don't want to kill too many humans. Can't kill all the kettle in a herd. I am also taking a bit of time to make our finances more balanced." Arachama explained and Monga nodded.
"That is why you need the ring and play a convincing role. We also might use the empire later. I also heard about a spy within the kingdom." Monga asked and Arachama simply nodded.
"She is the princess and quite capable, at least from the reports we have." Arachama replied and smirked.
"Here I thought you were "Extreme Good" based on your karma-value. You are quite terrible at being good" Monga smiled.
"Since you are terrible at being "Extreme Evil". One of us has to be the bad guy." Arachama laughed and Monga shuddered.
"Your mean." Monga said and shimmered green.
"Aww. I am only teasing. I want to do good, sadly I will not have many options. With my part in the annual war I might do some good, even if many will die in a gruesome way. It will be a hard decision." Arachama sighed and looked to the ceiling.
"Lady Arachama is always merciful. You are kind enough to end their suffering as lesser being. Why wouldn't they want that?" Albedo asked and both players simply shook their heads and changed the subject to a much more appreciated smalltalk.
After nearly two hours the group teleported to the throne room and collected all of the guardians, except Gargantua, who was already transported to the place he would need to be.
The only guardian that Arachama had not seen in a long time was a flying embryo with two sticks as a wing and a halo over its head. This was Victim, guardian of the eighth floor.
There were Demiurge, Victim, Aura, Mare and Shalltear bowing as best as they could. Ainz then casted "Gate" to their starting position and explained to Arachama his plans.
"I want them to submit to us. Sadly they defeated one of our armies, therefore I will send them against Cocytus. I want to make a great impression to make the subjugation much easier. If all goes well we will have them under our thumb before dinner." Monga explained and Albedo and Arachama nodded.
In the far distance Arachama saw Gargantua, guardian of the fourth floor. He was a gigantic golem and was now marching towards the mudhill, behind which Arachama guessed the Lizardmen village. Arachama then saw Monga use the fog to move closer. Then many pop-monsters make a pathway. She then saw Gargantua throw a giant cube of dirt. It landed in front of the hills and the wave of swampwater erupted into their ranks, nearly sweeping them away.
Monga then used magic to freeze the water, to make a dry way for them. The army of skeletons moved closer to the cube and formed stairs, which would then be used by other skeletons to hold the banner of him and herself.
Once that was done Monga led them and Arachama followed as second. Once the two and the guardians reached the top he created two thrones, one for himself and one for Arachama. She looked over the village and held her nose up, hoping it would make the Lizardmen realize their hopeless situation.
Monga then summoned low level monster, which seemed like many black faces glued together, to relay a summon. After a short while two lizardmen walked forward. One had a green scaled back and had a cape made of swamp grass. He wore a greatsword on his back. The other looked closely related, but had brown scales on his back and wore a green coat and an ice blue sword on his hip.
Both closed in and looked terrified.
"You stand proudly, "Prostrate Yourself". Better" Demiurge ordered and used one of his abilities, "Command Mantra" to order the lizardmen. It allowed Demiurge to order low level beings around. It gained a lot of capabilities with their travel in the new world.
Both Lizardmen crushed face first into the ice in front of the cube.
"Who are you?" Monga asked and the one in the green scales pushed against the power from Demiurge. Arachama looked at him and nodded.
"You are free to move" Demiurge ordered and the green Lizardmen looked up.
"I am Shasuryu Shasha and this is my brother Zaryusu Shasha" Shasuryu answered and Monga nodded.
"I wanted to subjugate you. But I understand that you don't want to live under someone's rule, if you have beaten him on the battlefield. I will therefore give you a chance, since I am a benevolent being. One of my subordinates, his name is Cocytus, will come here within 3 hours and attack your village. If you manage to defeat him I will leave you alone. If he defeats you, your village will surrender peacefully to my command." Monga declared and the brothers looked at each other, shuddering.
"You overdid it again Monga" sighed Arachama in thought while Mini-Arachama shook her head.
"We would like…." Shasuryu began and was interrupted abruptly by Monga.
"I hope you don't want to surrender now, since I would be greatly disappointed" Monga said and the Lizardmen shuddered again.
"We shall go then. Let them prepare Monga." Arachama soothed while standing from her throne and nodding to the Lizardmen.
"Take this time and prepare. I wish you good luck." Arachama smiled while Monga casted "Gate" to the throne room of a fake Nazarick within the forest of Tob.
The Guardians and Monga went through while Arachama gave a final nod and then went through the "Gate".
Arachama found herself within the fake Nazarick, which she had read about, and looked around. She saw that all was made of wood, including walls, doors, ceiling and a table. It nearly had no furniture except a table and a throne made of skeletons.
"I will take my leave then. I have important business to attend to and I believe that Monga will manage well. Just do not forgett Albedos desires again." Arachama smiled and Monga nodded. She used "Gate" to get to her mansion.
Once through she was in her living room and saw Zesshi sitting at the table, reading.
"Pfuh. It was such a drag." Arachama sighed and Zesshi shot up and began to kneel.
"Mother" Zesshi greeted while Arachama walked over to sit on her couch.
"Enti, please bring a wheelchair for me, plus one or two blankets. I also think that we should have a family dinner, since I have orders for tomorrow." Arachama sends Enti with the "Message" spell.
"As you wish mother," Enti answered and Arachama cut the connection.
"Ara Zesshi. How did you get this book? If I told you to stay within this room, would you not listen to me and become a bad girl?" Arachama soothed and Zesshi shook her head vigorously.
"I asked big sister Entoma for something to read and she gave me this book. She said it is called "a song of ice and fire" Zesshi reported and Arachama smiled.
"It is good. There are more than this though. Just ask and I might get the next one after you read it through." Arachama smiled and placed a hand on Zesshis head.
"Yes, mother." Zesshi grinned and hugged Arachama, this time without any try to touch elsewhere.
Enti meanwhile prepared dinner, salad with cotlet and seasoned with salt, pepper and tears of albion sheep, which Nazarick collected on Demiurge's "Happy Farm". Arachama knew that the tears were collected, but they were probably tears of joy, since it was a "happy" farm, right?
The dessert was then a pudding, which Enti made using one of her favorite ingredients. Enti had even catched a few fresh ones, making Arachama obligated to try her daughter's cooked dish.
Zesshi on the other hand read to Arachama and commented on how some characters were stupidly honorable or arrogant. Zesshi liked the book and couldn't wait to read the others.
After Entoma prepared dinner she brought a wheelchair into the living room. It was cushioned with red fabric, making it quite comfortable. On the wheelchair were two blankets and it had two handles, so it could be moved. Arachama was pleased, since she knew that she wouldn't get a sore butt sitting on it nearly the whole day tomorrow.
The other slowly walked into the room. Ninya was talking with Arche while Kuuderika and Ureirika were chasing each other. Zesshi simply looked up and closed her book, a smile adorning her face.
"Ara ara. Let's eat. I had a long day and I am hungry." Arachama grinned and walked to her place at the table.
They began with the salad and it tasted delicious to all of them and then Enti brought the dessert. It was also delicious and Arachama was tempted to ask what was inside, until she remembered what Enti had told her about her favorite dish and she regretted thinking about what it could be.
"Interesting. I never thought I would eat cockroaches and find them delicious. Must come with my species. I hope it at least '' Arachama thought while eating another spoonful of the pudding.
After all the children had eaten their pudding, and some had a second helping, Arachama smiled at her children.
"I have something important. Tomorrow I want you to stay in the western parts, since I will have an important visitor. I will even hide my true self, since we want business with the visitor. Am I clear that I don't want him to see any of you, children?" Arachama asked and had to bring all of her will to the surface to not cuddle them to death.
"As you wish, mother" All of them replied and Arachama sighed.
"The day after tomorrow we will have a relaxed day, since I reserved the spa on the 9th floor, we can relax and cuddle." Arachama smiled and Enti immediately raised her head, Arachama even thought she saw a small star in her facebugs eyes.
"That would be a great honor mother" Enti replied and could barely hide her happiness. The rest meanwhile nodded furiously.
"Good. I am happy that you are happy. Now then. I will need all the rest I can. Kuuderika and Ureirika, I want to cuddle." Arachama pleaded and both immediately walked closer, only for Arachama to scoop them up. She walked into her bedroom and cuddled with them until she fell asleep.
AN: Thanks for reading. Please review. Until next time.
As I wrote in the last chapter, Zesshi, in this story, is around level 70. SHE IS NOT 95 IN THIS STORY, I only read guesses going from low as 65 to up as 95, which makes placing her extremely tough for me. The reason she looks different for now is that I think that her combat capabilities should play into it. Arche and Ninya aren't terrible at casting, but they wouldn't be able to defeat someone on Zesshis level in their dreams.
I will also act as though she was only used as a guardian to the vault, which means that she didn't get much training and therefore wouldn't be able to learn new things. This means that she has just enough XP unspent to make the race change.
In terms of Arche, I read that she already was at the levelcap of humans, level 19, and this would enable her to make a race change. At least I think it would be possible, since she had collected XP which she couldnt spend into job classes.
In terms of testing for lower insectoid summoning, spells and minions, I already am planning on it, since I want to go deeper into that rabbit hole. I can only ask for patience there.
I am also planning on making the spectrum broader for the many arachne crawling around the mansion, and Ninya will certainly be more pronounced in that regard. But I needed a similar basis to broaden it later.
Sorry for the long AN and thanks for reading them. I do read reviews and am grateful for everyone leaving them, since I at least hope to improve a little bit over time.
