I Was Reincarnated as the Weakest Monster, but I’ll Use My ‘Return from Death’ Skill to Become the Strongest! Even as the Weakest Monster, I Want to Get Stronger, Take Human Form, and Build a Harem… But Why Do Only Yandere Non-Human Girls Keep Showing Up? - Chapter 1.17

I died and came back again.

But this time, my previous life had meaning.

I fought the Nue and learned its strength.

And—I saw that spider.

The one that had once killed me, now throwing itself in harm’s way to protect me… and losing its life in the process.

“…”

“Skree, skree, skree.”

The same familiar return point.

The spider’s cry echoed in my ears.

In response, I turned toward it and activated my Appraisal skill.

No title, huh?

At first, I suspected this spider might be a reincarnator like me.

I thought it might have some kind of unique skills or a hidden title.

But what stood out was its High Skill: Intelligence.

Maybe—just maybe—when I killed that bear for my own gain, unintentionally saving the spider in the process…

It recognized that as an act of kindness.

That’s why—

The spider that had once killed me was no longer my enemy.

“…You.”

Without a doubt, back there, this spider had fought for me.

No—

Since the moment I woke up in this place, it had never once been my enemy.

It had always been on my side.

“Skree, skree, skree.”

“Wait.”

Just like before, the spider turned its back to me, preparing to leave.

I reached out with my paw and gently stopped it.

“Skree?”

“Listen… I need to talk to you.”

My words probably didn’t make sense to a spider.

But still, I chose to believe in its intelligence.

With gestures and expressions, I conveyed my thoughts the best I could.

■■■■■

I decided to trust that it understood.

Because at this point, that was all I could do.

“Let’s go.”

“Skree, skree, skree.”

Together, the spider and I began descending the great tree.

“You okay?”

“Skree!”

“Alright, then—let’s move!”

“Skreeee!!”

As soon as we reached the ground and finished our preparations, we ran.

We sprinted in the opposite direction of where we had encountered the Nue.

The best-case scenario was escaping without ever seeing it again.

“GRRAAAAAHHHHHH!”

But, of course, things wouldn’t go that smoothly.

The ground behind us ruptured, and the Nue emerged.

The worst possible enemy—Nue.

“Please!”

“Skreeee!”

It was closing the distance fast.

In response, the spider spun webs, setting traps to slow it down.

“GRRAAAAHHH!?”

And—

The Nue got caught.

For a brief moment, it let out a cry of frustration, tangled in the web.

“…!”

But of course, that moment didn’t last.

It broke free almost instantly.

Well, that was expected.

“Alright! Time for a desperate escape!”

“Skree!”

Even together, we had no chance of winning.

But if we gave everything we had to running, that was a different story.

Believing in that tiny possibility, the spider and I took off.
