As Lower Rank Five Rui disappeared, the body of the Mimic Tear also began to dissipate.

"Hey, hey, hey? Tanjiro, the thing you summoned is disappearing?"

"It doesn't matter. If you leave the battle, it will disappear automatically. It's just..."

Tanjiro sat on the ground, trying to recall this battle. He thought that he and the Mimic Tear killed each other in this battle, but in fact, it was his elder brother who taught him how to fight.

Now he is carefully recalling the previous battle, constantly transforming what he learned into his own strength.

When Kumoko saw that Tanjiro didn't react, she thought seriously for more than ten seconds and then shouted to Tanjiro: "Brother~ I just wandered around in your world~"

"Go ahead, just don't scare ordinary people."

"Hey? Am I that scary?"

"I think your pretty cute, but this cuteness is too much for ordinary people."

Maybe after hanging out with Fujimaru Kaoru and Natsuki Subaru for a long time, the pure Tanjiro was also affected a little bit and was no longer so pure, his common sense tilted to be abnormal.

"Okay~ Let's go out and play~"

Although Kumoko can run as much as she wants in Monster Hunter World, games are games after all, and sometimes she really wants to see the real world. The background of Tanjiro's world is similar to the world in her memory; the only difference is that she lives in modern times and Tanjiro lives in ancient times.

But it's not a big problem, just take this opportunity to appreciate the sights that can only be seen in history.

"Hehe~ Hehe~"

The nearly three-meter-long spider ran wildly in the forest, but halfway through, Kumoko suddenly felt a murderous aura.

"Who is it?"

Accompanied by Kumoko's question, Shinobu Kocho walked out of the forest with a smile.

"Dear Demon Spider, you..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Kumoko interrupted Shinobu Kocho's spellcasting and proudly puffed out her chest: "I'm not a Demon spider, I'm a real spider!"

Through Tanjiro's identity and the background of this world, Kumoko probably guessed that the woman in front of her should have a teammate-like relationship with Tanjiro. She also knew that her figure was a little unique, and she could be forgiven for being misunderstood.

"Oh?"

Shinobu Kocho had already pointed her blade at Kumoko, and Kumoko said to herself in panic: "What's going on? Everyone was very friendly to me in the game, why are humans not friendly here?"

While she was communicating with herself in her mind, Shinobu Kocho put her hands behind her back, smiled on her face but asked without any light in her eyes: "Such a lovely Miss Spider, how many people have you eaten?"

"Huh? Eat people? I never eat people."

Kumoko was serious. After reincarnating as a spider, she eats spiders, goblins, wasps, and dragons, but she doesn't eat humans. How should she put it? Although her body is now a spider's, she still thinks of herself as a human being mentally, and eating humans is a bit disgusting.

"You're lying. I came from the west, but I saw many humans that you caught and digested."

"Huh?"

Kumoko said seriously, "You have to be responsible for what you say. I either eat food raw or have it cooked. How can I use such a backward method?"

"Haha, it seems that Miss Spider is unwilling to tell the truth."

While talking, Kocho Shinobu's body flashed, and Kumoko scratched her head to watch Kocho Shinobu's performance. There was no way. She was playing in someone else's world. If she hurt people randomly and was kicked out, it would be a bit of a waste of 5,000.

What's more, the weapon in Kocho Shinobu's hand was too weak. At most, it could pierce her body. Just pay attention to the protection of the eyes and key parts.

Kumoko had no defense and Kocho Shinobu attacked with all her strength, injecting venom targeting Demons into Kumoko's body. These venoms are highly toxic to Demons, but for Kumoko, they are a bit itchy.

"Hahaha~ It's so itchy~"

"What?"

This time, Kocho Shinobu's expression changed. Her poison would react even if it hit an upper rank. It was impossible for this spider to feel itchy like this. Could it be that the other party was really not a Demon?

Seeing the other party's surprised expression, Kumoko thought seriously, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Hey? This is a cake, do you want to eat it~"

Buying snacks and small cakes in the Internet cafe is useless and expensive, but delicious.

"Hey hey hey?"

When Shinobu Kocho was stunned, Kumoko threw out spider silk and grabbed Shinobu Kocho.

"Eat! Eat quickly!"

Shinobu Kocho thought it was something that would turn her into a Demon and wanted to refuse, but the moment the cake entered her mouth, she swallowed it subconsciously because of her pursuit of sweets.

It was delicious. It was the first time in her life that she had eaten such a delicious dessert. The smooth and delicate cream with the right sweetness made her feel like she was in the mountains and enjoying the breeze.

"Hehe! Do you believe that I am not a Demon this time? I tell you, I eat everything but not people. Hehe~ I still have some. Do you want some?"

Shinobu Kocho was silent, while Kumoko spread a layer of cloth on the ground and took out Coke, tea, cakes, and biscuits, and even a big bowl of ramen.

"Come on, come on! The strongest monster in this mountain, Rui, has been killed, and the rest of the people will not be in danger, no problem, no problem~"

The name Rui made Shinobu Kocho remember, she wanted to leave quickly, but she knew that she might not be able to leave now. If the other party does not eat people, then is it the legendary mountain god?

Mount Natagumo, Mount Natagumo? Could it be the Mount Natagumo's Spider God?

Shinobu Kocho's mind began to wander, but no matter what, she misunderstood the other party. The other party asked her to accompany him to eat and drink something, and she was not qualified to leave.

She only hoped that the others would not be in danger, and she hoped that Tomioka Giyu could arrive in time.

Are the others in danger? Not at all. When Kumoko sprayed spider webs to cover the entire Mount Natagumo, she found that some of these little cuties were poisoned. She sucked out the poison from these little guys casually. It was quite nourishing.

On this day, Kumoko was very happy. She hadn't experienced the feeling of having a picnic with others for many years. Although Mount Natagumo was a bit strange for a picnic, Shinobu Kocho was generally very cooperative.

In order to show friendship, Kumoko made a soft armor with her spider silk and gave it to Shinobu Kocho.

Compared with ordinary protective gear and clothing, Kumoko's spider silk is warm and resistant to injury, and it may save a life when necessary.

On the other side, Tanjiro also met his senior brother Tomioka Giyu. The Lower Rank demon was killed, and at this moment Tomioka Giyu showed a relieved expression on his face.

"Tanjiro, you will be the Water Hashira in the future."

"I am not qualified."

"You are the Water Hashira. I, I-am not qualified to be a Hashira."

"No! You are qualified!!"

Tanjiro really wants to become a Hashira, but he knows very well that this victory does not depend on himself, but on the help of Kumoko and the Mimic Tear. He still doesn't know many things, and he thinks he is not qualified to become a Hashira before he learns these things.
