บท 131: Monke and the Other Communites (The Arachnes - 1)

My walk alone towards the Arachne village was steeped in silence, my mind going over the conversations I had with the alraune leader.

I was so deep in thought that I hadn't noticed a figure stalking from behind, the chittering of numerous insect legs breaking me out of my funk. I quickly turned around and got ready for a battle, only to be met with a very curious arachne, who was quite obviously a little girl.

"Big hairy monster?" The young arachne cocked her head, her ever-curious expression fixed on my perplexed one. As I knelt down, the young arachne did not retreat from my form. Instead, she drew even closer, her curiosity getting the better of her.

She reached out her slim arms and tiny hands towards my log of an arm, her soft, human skin touching my furry and rugged fur. She leaned in closer as she brought her entire face into my arm, burying her head in the process.
