Chương 249: 249. Should I Save Them Earlier?
With the two words "old friend", Ariel and Kumoko seemed to understand what Izumi meant. In other words, a reincarnator. Hearing that there was a rencarnator who was born into a monster like Kumoko, she was grateful.
"Huhu, thank God I'm not alone. It turns out that there is still a rencarnator who becomes a monster like me."
Kumoko's mutter was heard by Izumi who then responded in a low voice.
"You should have had the opportunity to meet a rencarnator when you were just born though."
"Ehhh, seriously?"
Izumi just shrugged his shoulders, giving Kumoko a vague answer that made her even more curious.
At that moment, Ariel decided to continue the journey and immediately returned to the demon territory. However, due to Sophia, her parents, and her butler, she couldn't rush back into the demon's territory which made her turn to Izumi for an opinion.
Izumi then started to think. The only ones capable of mass teleporting were Hiiro and Kumoko. However, the two of them needed coordinates in order to teleport. Since the two of them had never been to the border between the Renxandt Empire and the demon realm, nor had they been to the castle in the demon realm, they couldn't teleport there.
Izumi turned to Tabane.
"Then, Tabane-chan, take Hiiro and Ariel-chan to the demon castle."
Tabane nodded.
"Yep. Hiiro will pick up everyone else using his magic afterward."
Izumi thought it was convenient to have smart people, he didn't need to explain everything. After that, Tabane took out two IS from her storage space and controlled the two to carry Hiiro and Ariel. Tabane herself used her own IS, then went with them, leaving Izumi and the others behind.
Izumi said.
"Well, they probably won't be long at that speed."
Then he turned to Rori and Warrod.
"Rori, gramp Warrod. I'll leave them to you guys. I'm going with this Kumo-chan."
Izumi asked to look after Sophia while he was away. With Rori, there will be nothing to worry about.
Meanwhile, Kumoko was quite surprised by the speed of the IS which has a speed of Mach 1.5. With such speed in this world, even Ariel couldn't match that speed while she was one of the strongest people in this world.
Kumoko said inwardly.
"Luckily I'm not hostile to Izumi. He has a robot armor that looks better than the 3 robots that the woman named Tabane took out earlier."
In Kumoko's mind, it might not just be speed. There may also be other weapons, such as missiles or nuclear weapons, given that IS is a form of science and fiction.
"Then, I'll go. Come on Kumo-chan!"
Without waiting for Kumoko's response, Izumi who was already materializing his IS grabbed Kumoko and flew at maximum speed.
"Aaaaaaaaaa....."
Kumoko couldn't help but scream in surprise that Izumi immediately grabbed her without her consent.

The Renxandt Kingdom and the demon territory are separated by a natural border, which is a vast mountain range surrounded by dense forests in all directions inhabited by many beasts at any given point. Not just beasts, even humanoid monsters like goblins, orcs, or ogres also lived there.
Izumi, who was flying at full speed while carrying Kumoko, suddenly stopped, then he took back his IS and floated using his Devil Fruit power. Izumi, who was no longer using his IS, created a whirlwind that made Kumoko float in the air.
Kumoko held her head which was so dizzy from being dragged by Izumi at high speed without any preparation. She even felt like throwing up after Izumi suddenly stopped.
"Eh, Kumo-chan? Is your head okay?"
Izumi's question irritated Kumoko which made her say.
"What do you mean "is your head okay"? Are you mocking me?"
"Pffft. Hahaha. That's not what I mean. I just..."
Suddenly he smelled a fire burning something and it seemed not far from his spot. He turned his head in the direction where the smell was coming from, and from where he was, he saw smoke about 3 kilometers away.
Previously, Izumi had deliberately stopped because as he recalled, Kumoko's old friend who would evolve into an Oni was around these mountains. However, he didn't know the exact location.
When Izumi checked, there were piles of goblin corpses along with their burnt villages. Several humans were still there, but he didn't see any living goblins. Izumi landed on the ground slowly while saying to Kumoko.
"Looks like we're late. Your old friend has been captured by the humans."
"Eh..."
Kumoko who saw the pile of goblin corpses understood. It turned out that there was her former classmate who reincarnated into a goblin which was the extermination target for novice adventurers in games or novels. Moreover, he had now been captured by humans, which meant he would become a slave.
Kumoko turned to Izumi as if to say should they save that reincarnated classmate.
"Hmmm, since he's been caught, let's just leave it at that. He won't die that easily as long as he has a unique ability that benefits the one who catches him. Wait for him to go rampage..."
But then he thought. If what happens in the novel will be the same as reality. Wouldn't it be better if he saved them all earlier and brought them to earth with Kumoko's help? They were still around 1-2 years old, it would be best if they didn't make a deep impression in this world before it was too late. It would be so troublesome if they had a deep impression of their new world. Regarding the destruction of this world, it was none of Izumi's business. As long as he had already destroyed the elves, anything else was none of his business.
Actually, if Izumi wanted, he intended to save Ariel. But her soul is no longer possible because she will not live long. She has lived far too long without touching divinity. This made her soul unable to withstand erosion.
"Wait a minute, maybe we should save him."
Izumi gave another opinion after thinking for a while to save the goblin reincarnator, then he headed toward the goblin village. This made Kumoko even more confused.
Kumoko murmured.
"What's wrong with him? Do it or not? Tell me clearly!"
Kumoko then followed Izumi without caring that she would be seen as a monster.
Izumi came to the adventurers who might be looking for profit after hearing that the goblin village had a blacksmith who created high-quality weapons even from empty air. And in fact, they came with the tamer who had captured Kumoko's "old friend".
"Hey, you guys. I have a question!"
Izumi's voice made the adventurers stop and turn to him. They were surprised who the young man who suddenly appeared. Then they thought that Izumi might want high-quality weapons that might still be left. Of course, they didn't agree, that's what they wanted to say. They suddenly stiffened with fear feeling a terrifying aura. They looked behind Izumi who appeared as an individual with the upper body of a human, and the lower body of a spider. One of them shouted.
"Everyone, flee!"
How could the adventurers be able to contain their horror after seeing Kumoko? Just feeling her aura was already terrifying enough, there was no way they would be able to fight her.
Watching them run wildly, Izumi just looked back while saying.
"You look too scary, Kumo-chan."
"How rude."
Kumoko only answered curtly with what Izumi said. Maybe Kumoko would be embarrassed if she said it directly. But it is undeniable that her face is beautiful. She even thought that her face was prettier than her face when she was still alive on earth. And that might have something to do with her long white hair and red eyes.
As if Izumi understood what was on her mind, he said.
"Well, somehow your face bears a resemblance to Ariel."
"Wait, what?"
Kumoko didn't know if Izumi was joking or not. But when she recalled once again how she looked, she felt that what Izumi said had some truth in it. Moreover, she is truly Ariel's descendant.
