-Good morning. -Good morning!
The desserts in this cafe are so good!
Didn't I tell you?
Just ignore them.
Forget that. Let's go bowling after school.
I pulled an all-nighter, playing games.
Really? You kept on playing after I logged out?
This dress is cute, but it's so expensive.
-You're right! It's so cute. -Which one?
-You'll look good in it! -I agree! So cute!
-It suits you. -I'm sure it'll look good on you.
Everyone, the class is starting now.
That was so scary.
That hurts!
I hurt my head.
I think I'm surrounded by something hard.
What's going on?
It's so dark!
I remember I was in class.
In any case, I have to leave this place.
What?
What is this?
And what's with these legs?
Calm down!
Could this be something
that's been trending online?
No way! Tell me this isn't true!
It seems like I've been reincarnated as a spider.
Impossible. I can't accept this!
Even if I did reincarnate,
why did I become a spider?
I guess crying and sulking won't help.
I should just accept the fact that I'm a spider.
Spider…
I'm a spider.
What?
Is that food?
To be honest, I'm hungry as well…
Why are you eating your own kind?
Aren't there other things you can eat?
No way I'm staying in such a dangerous place!
I'm going home!
Oh, are you Father?
It's Mother! I'm so sorry!
Why are you acting the same way, Mother?
You're eating your own kind as if they are snacks.
Let's think about that later.
For now,
I should retreat!
I thought I was going to die.
I haven't sprinted at full speed for a while.
I guess anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
Anyway, how did I die?
TSUREZUREGUSA, PAGE 30
Last I remember, I was having classical literature class.
The most likely scenario is that
I died and reincarnated as a spider.
Did I die from a terrorist attack
or maybe a natural disaster?
This is a mystery.
Or perhaps I am actually not dead
and that my soul is just trapped in a spider now.
My physical body could be lying on a hospital bed now.
The only other possible explanation
is that… Maybe this is actually a spider that just has my memories?
No idea! Let's put that aside for now!
"I think, therefore I am." That's enough!
I don't know anything about my current situation.
The amount of information I have concerned my survival.
In such situations,
light novels would give characters
appraisal skills to collect information.
You currently have 100 skill points.
You can use 100 points
to learn Level 1 Appraisal skill.
Would you like to learn the skill?
What? Point?
It's as if I've really been reincarnated to an alternate world!
Is that even a question? Of course, I'm learning it!
Level 1 Appraisal learned.
You have zero points remaining.
Appraisal is a broken skill that's extremely useful and convenient
in isekai light novels!
I have to learn it, even if it means using up my points!
First of all…
This looks like an ordinary stone,
but once I use Appraisal on it,
it'll be one amazing--
Stone.
Oh, my, Ms. Appraisal. You sure like your jokes!
Have a better look!
Okay, once again.
Appraisal!
Stone.
You're right. It's got to be a stone.
Now you should be able to know
which cave this is from this wall, right?
You know, right?
-Appraisal! -Wall.
Appraisal!
-Appraisal! -Wall.
You're totally useless!
Why did I learn this skill?
It's obviously a wall!
You should give me more information!
Change my approach.
I should change how I think.
This is just because I'm still level 1.
That's how I should think.
Let's just take a rest.
Maybe I should cast Appraisal on me too.
Spider. Nameless.
I expected that,
but what's up with that "nameless"?
Does that mean I don't have a name as a spider
or will I only have one after I increase my level?
I still don't know how to increase my level.
Terms like level, skills, and points
make it sound like I'm in a game.
Whatever. This is quite interesting too,
so I'll just accept it.
I was a gamer in my previous life, after all.
Here we go.
I can't just stay here.
I should find something to eat.
You can't do anything on an empty stomach.
There's a whole horde of living things that obviously look like monsters.
It's impossible for these living things to exist on Earth.
I guess I'm really in an alternate world.
-Appraisal. -Deer, bat, wolf…
It hurts! Hold on!
It's too much!
There's so much information. I'm getting a headache!
Am I expected to get past this level?
The difficulty's way too high
for a newborn spider like me!
I shall pretend that I haven't seen that area.
I want chocolate. I want potato chips.
I want instant noodles.
Anything is fine.
I must find food immediately.
There are humans here!
Thank goodness!
I'm a friendly, cheerful, and cute baby spider!
Can we be friends?
Everyone, I'm harmless.
Please help me!
Wait.
Hello, Brother Spider.
Long time no see.
You look different.
This can't go on.
If humans find me,
I'll definitely be killed.
It's obvious that I'm on their elimination list!
No thanks!
Oh, no, this is bad!
If I keep wandering around this darkness
and meet a human…
Is this my thread?
I'm a spider. Of course, I spin threads!
And so I built my own home!
Look at these firm and strong walls!
Just in case,
I also left a way for me to escape.
Nothing can go wrong!
Now, I just need to wait for a prey to fall into my web.
I can finally stay at home forever!
Although I had to attend school in my previous life,
I basically stayed home other than that.
I was a useless person addicted to computer games.
So perhaps, the life of a spider suits me better.
As a useless person, I declare…
Being a shut-in NEET is the best thing ever!
Though, I'm no longer a human.
What?
I can't move.
Now that I think about it,
I haven't eaten anything since I was born.
I built my house using my threads,
so I used up a lot of energy.
If this goes on, I will die from hunger.
I brought this along just in case of emergency food.
You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs…
I'm digging in…
This tastes horrible and bitter.
But this is no time to complain!
Women must have guts!
This tastes horrible.
SPIDER, NAMELESS
SKILLS: LEVEL 1 APPRAISAL LEVEL 1 VENOM FANG
LEVEL 3 SPIDER THREAD LEVEL 9 NIGHT VISION
LEVEL 1 POISON RESISTANCE N%I = W, LEVEL 1 SKANDA
I'm full.
It seems I don't have to worry about being starved to death for now.
You have fulfilled the pre-requisites.
You have obtained the title Kin Eater.
Due to the effects of the Kin Eater title,
you have earned the skills Level 1 Taboo
and Level 1 Heretic Magic.
What? Title?
If you compare it to games, it will be those titles you get
by fulfilling certain prerequisites, right?
KIN EATER
This looks so horrendous!
It's obviously a bad title.
The skill names look as bad too.
But I got them without using any points,
so it's a good thing for me.
This name looks ominous.
What's the skill effect in the first place?
Could it be something that I shouldn't have learned?
But I still don't know how to upgrade my skills.
I got them after all the trouble,
but I don't know how to use this
and Heretic Magic at all.
Since it's magic, do I need incantations?
But I don't know any incantations.
If that's the case…
Heretic Magic!
That was an obvious outcome.
Thinking about it, many of my siblings
should have this title too.
So it's probably nothing special, right?
A title obtained so easily
must have a relatively low effect.
But still, it's a deal to get a title that comes with skills!
If I dance,
can I get a title related to a dancer?
I dance…
It hurts.
It seems like something got caught in the spider web!
I'm so nervous.
That's a frog, right?
Someone once told me
that frog meat tastes very similar to chicken meat.
Is it easy to digest the meat?
My eye!
Was that venom?
I can see smoke coming out of my eye!
Also, I lost part of my vision.
Oh, right. Since I'm a spider,
I have many eyes.
This is ridiculous!
It hurts. Is my body melting?
You have reached a certain level of proficiency.
Level 1 Acid Resistance learned.
It doesn't feel as painful…
So I can learn skills this way too?
Then why did I spend my points on the Appraisal skill?
You're nothing but my meal, and you dare to challenge me?
If that's the case…
I'll eat that thing, even if it's beyond my capability!
As long as I'm careful,
it will be just a poor prey
that fell into my trap!
I know how you attack,
so I can escape easily!
Take this!
It hurts!
Poison Resistance has increased to level 2.
Is that so? This is not the time for this!
This frog…
How dare you keep spitting filthy things on me?
Unforgivable. I won't let you off!
Take this!
I finally defeated it.
If this is my first prey,
I can't imagine what the future holds for me.
But judging by how this frog suffered,
perhaps my fangs are poisonous.
All right!
I defeated it!
This is great!
My memorable first prey caught in my house!
It showed me that prey of this size can't escape the spider web
and that I can indeed catch prey.
This frog served its purpose well!
Thank you, frog!
However,
I won't forget that you spit on me.
Congratulations on your enrollment.
As the future of our nation,
you shall excel in both academics and sports,
show kindness, be filial to your parents,
nurture a fraternity spirit,
and strive to be good in studying and the martial arts.
That person is the prince of this nation,
Prince Schlain Zagan Analeit.
It's said that he's a genius,
but he doesn't look as capable at first glance.
In any case, is there a way to get close to him?
You're so popular.
Stop making fun of me.
The one next to him
is Lady Karnatia Seri Anabald from the duke's family, right?
Isn't she also a genius?
Not only she's the duke's daughter,
but she's also a genius with an adorable appearance.
She's very pretty indeed.
They say you're cute.
Give me a break.
Congratulations on your enrollment, both of you!
Oh, Oka.
Do not call your teacher by her nickname.
Long time no see, Fei.
Aren't you also a freshman, Ms. Okazaki?
Oh, you're right.
It feels weird that you're a student like us.
Do you think so?
-Here. Have a seat too, Shun! Sit. -Wait…
Just like you guys, I want to study
and fall in love!
It's as if I'm experiencing my youth again.
I'm so excited!
Well… Do you need anything from me?
Sue, what are you doing?
I'm sorry, Ms. Okazaki.
It's Sue, my sister.
Is that so?
Let's see…
You look quite pretty.
Shun, who is that weird person?
Sue. She's Ms. Filimos,
an elf who will be studying with us in this school from now on.
Shun and I are previously acquainted with her.
She may look young,
but that's because elves grow slower.
She's actually the same age as us.
Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you.
Katia.
Does Shun like childish girls like her?
No. Don't worry.
She's a reliable person.
Shun is being polite to her out of respect.
You two look close.
Isn't that a bit too close?
Shun.
Have you done anything odd to your sister?
No, not at all!
Oh, right!
Sue, may I borrow the two of them for a while?
Ms. Okazaki, don't tell me the people you wanted us to meet was…
Yes, it's just as you thought!
They're right there.
Long time no see, you two.
Hi, Oka. You're tiny as usual.
It's rude to say such things to Ms. Okazaki.
Long time no see, Ms. Okazaki.
Likewise, I'm glad to see that you two are well, Natsume and Hasebe.
-What? -What?
The one behind you is the prince of this nation, right?
Right. It's time for an introduction.
These two are the future Sword Emperor and Saint.
The crown prince of the Renxandt Empire,
and an important person from the Holy Kingdom of Alleius…
As you guessed, these two
are the prince of this country and the daughter of the duke.
So, Oka,
who are they actually?
These two are--
I'm Shunsuke Yamada.
I'm Kanata Oshima.
Long time no see.
You're Oshima?
Yes, I'm Oshima.
What a shock, right?
I reincarnated as a girl.
You're Oshima?
You became so cute!
You look so much better now than before.
Horrible.
I was quite sad about this at first.
I thought so.
If it were me, I might have killed myself from the shock!
That's enough, Natsume! You've gone too far.
This little thing is also a reincarnation?
Long time no see. I'm Mirei Shinohara.
Shinohara? Forget about gender,
you're an entirely different species!
Just leave me alone.
So it's possible to reincarnate as monsters too.
Oka, is there someone else like Shinohara?
There are so far 11 people under my care now,
but none of them is a monster.
Is that so?
Perhaps you just haven't found them then.
Shinohara.
Perhaps there's someone else who's as unlucky as you.
Don't give up.
All right, now. You guys must have a lot to talk about.
Let's talk while we enjoy the food.
Right, I'm getting hungry.
Haven't you been eating the entire time?
Fortunately, the food here is good.
He's as annoying as ever.
Now then, let's go eat too.
Okay.
This tastes horrible.
Acid Resistance has increased to level 2.
It's bitter and painful, but…
horrible food is nothing.
I have to survive!
I eat in order to survive!
I want to keep surviving
as a spider in this world!
I must survive!
STAY TUNED!
