Chapter 8

Yes, it looks like it, but is there electricity in this world?

I don't know, maybe they work with magic.

Yes, that could be.

So what are we going to do now?

I don't know.

But maybe we should settle down here for the night.

Yes good idea we can barricade the door and then we can spend the night here. Says Kumoko.

Yeah, why not, there's a bunch of blankets back there.

They barricade the door and put chairs and tables in front of it. Then Rimuru lies down in a corner and tries to get some sleep.

Kumoko suddenly stands next to him.

What is it Kumoko says Rimuru in a tired voice.

I can't sleep.

Ok, do you need anything? Rimuru asks.

Well, there is something you can do and I'm only asking because no one else is here.

And what is that? Asks Rimur who just wants to go back to sleep.

Can I lie down next to you.

Pffff please what did you say.

Can I lie down next to you?

Yes, I understood that, but why? Rimuru doesn't know exactly what to do now.

Well, I can't sleep if I can't feel another heartbeat. I always fell asleep with my cat.

Ok, do what you have to do.

Ok, thank you. Kumoko smiles and lies down next to Rimuru.

She lies down with her back against Rimuru's back.

After a short time Kumoko falls asleep. Rimuru is wide awake and can't get a wink of sleep.

I have never slept so close to a girl.

Rimuru lies down on his back and looks at the ceiling.

Suddenly Kumoko puts her head on his chest.

Rimuru almost stops breathing.

I can't move. I don't want to wake her up.

For one night that should be fine, Rimuru says to himself and closes his eyes.

After a while, he falls asleep.

The next morning, Rimuru wakes up and sees a fire.

He immediately jumps up and looks at the door.

All the things that were in front of the door are gone.

Rimuru jumps up and runs through the door and a few meters behind the door sits Kumoko and warms his hands.

She looks at Rimuru with a smile and says.

Good morning to you.

Eh yes good morning. Rimuru looks confused.

How did you get all the stuff out of the door? Rimuru asks.

When I woke up this morning, a window appeared in the city. I reached level 10 and got the telekinesis skill.

You should have gotten it too.

In the gelcihe moment where Kumoko has said the sentence to the end appears a window in front of Rimuru in which exactly that is in it.
