Chapter 72 - Your monsters are having fun.

We continued walking for two whole days. On the way, we came across small villages and some carriages. Without me getting any closer, my monsters slaughtered everyone they met along the way.

I couldn't let anyone escape.

The number of dead humans was probably too high. As Kumoko didn't see anything happening and just heard a few screams, she didn't feel too bad. She was getting calmer and calmer about this kind of thing.

It wouldn't be long before she didn't care anymore.

'I'm so hungry~~'

As we walked, Kumoko complained about how hungry she was.

On the way, we couldn't find any food apart from humans, and we refused to eat human meat. In other words, we had to find another source of food.

Luckily for us, we found a small lake before night fell. I asked the monsters to move away from us and leave us alone. Only Liu and the woman I nicknamed "Redhead" stayed close.

We could see some fish in the lake, which were quite big.

'This is going to be easy.'

'What are you going to do? Attack the water?'

'No, I'm going to make a net.'

With my sturdy webbing, I began to embroider a fishing net. I embroidered a gigantic net in just a few minutes. Kumoko also made a web, but smaller than mine.

Unfortunately for her, she only caught a few small fish.

'My fishing net has bigger holes. I want to avoid catching the small fish.'

So I teleported above the lake and cast my fishing net over it.

Afterwards, I threw my web into the lake's edge and headed straight for it. My fishing net began to sink slowly, and the fish panicked.

Then!

'Come on, everyone.'

I pulled out my fishing net. Several huge fish were caught and thrown over the lake's edge. They all fight wildly while Kumoko screams for joy.

'This is incredible! You're amazing, Eliot!''

'I know~~ Now let's prepare and eat the fish. Do you want me to cook it with fire magic, or will you eat it raw? Sushi is tasty, but I prefer it boiled or baked.'

'Cook it, please.'

'All right. Do you want to remove the scales? I can do that with my claw.'

'Please!'

Suddenly, I became a chef while Kumoko watched me. Carefully, I took the ladders off one of the large fish over a meter long and then cut it open in the middle. I cleaned it all using lake water, and all that was left were the big fillets.

'You're good at that. Did you happen to work in a restaurant before you reincarnated here?'

'Nah, I just cooked at home sometimes... But I preferred to buy ready-to-eat lunchboxes.'

'Maybe that's why you had a heart attack. You only ate industrialized food.'

'Maybe.'

I roasted the fish with my fire magic and handed it to Kumoko. She started to sing and eat as I prepared another fish. This time, I prepared three of them because Kumoko was so hungry.

I prepared almost all the fish, and night came.

And when night came, I went up another level.

[ "Urednik pajka LV3 (Phase 3)" became "Urednik pajka LV4 (Phase 3)" ]

'Oh, and some skills have also gone up a level. I hope my editing skill will level up soon, too.'

'What?'

'I've gone up another level.'

'Oh? Your monsters must be having fun.'

Two days passed, and no big city had appeared. As we weren't moving fast, it made sense. We tried to run, but I was much faster than the others and couldn't control my speed, so I always went too fast.

Anyway, I hope we get to a town soon.

'Eliot, I'm hungry. Do you have any fish left?'

'We're out of fish, and there's no lake nearby. Please wait until we get to a forest. We'll be able to hunt some animals. There must be wild boars around here, right?'

'I don't know. I don't remember seeing one~~' Kumoko sighed and sat on the dirt floor.

'What?'

'I'm tired!'

'What do you mean? It's still morning. We've only just started walking.'

'I'm not physically tired, but mentally tired! I can't stand walking and seaching for a city any longer! And what are we going to do when we find one? We'll just destroy it, and that'll be that.'

'Isn't that what monsters do?'

'I'm not like normal monsters! And neither are you, you know. You have a conscience, so think again.'

'I've killed too many humans to care now.'

'Tsk!'

'But you know, it's a bit annoying that you say that all the time.'

'Huh? I'm annoying? You are a nutter who wants to kill everyone just to level up!'

'But did you also do that inside the labyrinth?'

'THAT'S DIFFERENT! I was killing monsters, not humans. You know I haven't killed any humans so far!'

'Then just kill one! Once you've killed the first one and they've tried to kill you, you won't care anymore!'

'I wouldn't even do that if you threatened me to do it!'

'And why would I threaten you? Do what you want.'

'Are you dismissing me? Sending me away? You don't want me by your side anymore?'

'Is that what you understood? Don't be so stupid.'

'STUPID?!!!' Kumoko huffed and turned away. She ran past the two humans while swearing at me in her mind. I ran after her, and then suddenly, my whole body shivered. Something dangerous was coming.

'KUMOKO, LOOK OUT!'

I called her Kumoko by accident. But I didn't mind.

BOOM~~

A massive explosion happened right in front of Kumoko. The nearby monsters, along with Kumoko, were thrown away. Even I felt the impact. I immediately panicked.
