Death Valley (Volume 2 Chapter 9) (Side Story )

◇◇ Sam POV◇◇

She had long black hair extending to her waist

and black eyes which were unusual and her face different from European like us was more like Lester's Asian face she looked like Japanese the straight black haired type of girl which was a regular in a harem anime for being a serious girl. She had the upper body of women and her bust was not inferior to Clara and mind you she was definitely an E cup. I would have mistaken her for a pretty girl if her lower body was not that of a spider and we were not in a different world several meters under the ground.

She was an Arachne and I was sure of it. I don't need the appraisal skill of Valor to know this it was obvious but the more important thing was what would I do now she was able to sneak up to me when I was engrossed in reading that log, I have to confirm whether she was hostile or not, she was smiling at me but a monster smiling at you can never be a pleasant feeling but as she had the face of a beautiful girl so it made me feel a little embarrassed but she could be hostile smiling never meant that she would not attack me.

After evolving into a dragon I knew I had become strong and can't be easily killed but it was not also that I was the strongest I didn't know anyone someone stronger than me though even the Wright king who gave Valour such hard time would not be even able to even put up a tough fight if I used my full strength.

As I was thinking about how to deal with the Arachne, she opened her mouth. was she going to use an attack on me was she intelligent enough to understand the language but if she was a humanoid monster she must have rather high intelligence but would she know my language or do I even understand stand her language

("You finally noticed me how long were you planning to stay here the sun has already set Sam dono ")

Sam-(" Are you Asuka weren't you supposed to go with Clara's group")

Asuka -(" You have saved me so according to the code my life belongs to you")

Cheesy.....her lines were like from historic drama but when did I save her life, was it at that time when we ran from the dungeon while the spiders were chasing us. It was not that dangerous(Author- it was)

Sam-("You don't have to mind that it was not that much of a big deal but first tell me how did you find me?")

Well, I was pretty sure I flew at a high speed and even if considering that her speed has increased after evolution she couldn't have matched my top my speed and even locate my exact position.

Asuka-(" I didn't find you I was always with you")

She said so with a wide smile on her face.

ooh, I see she was always me with me so everything becomes clear now and everything is fine now...

....

LIKE HELL IT IS how can she be always with me I left the dungeon alone she was never with me and the bigger question is why was she with me. She was the only person in the group with the dubious origin and her way of taking was also a little ancient like those historic dramas and games based on the medieval era.

Me wondering about her reason was not gonna help so I simply asked her

Sam-("Why are you following me?")

Did she didn't like Clara or did she not wanted to go to the Monster nation as she creeped out by Lester and Alex, did she follow me as I was the strongest.

Asuka-("Because I am your [Bride]")

(Author - Asuka used Bride it was super effective"

Oh, I see you are my bride...

......

... how should I even react to this well I was never proposed until now so I am feeling a little happy but I didn't want the first girl to propose me to have eight legs and lower body of a spider.

She was a beauty none of the less and had huge assets but I still didn't know her and I wanted to go to the death valley alone but it was not like I could send her back as everyone much have reached their destinations and I could not leave the girl who proposed to me alone so I decided to take her with me.

Sam-("I can't answer your feelings right now but for now will you come with me to the death valley")

She smiled and said

Asuka-("Of course")

I kept the logbook back inside the ship and went above the ground with Asuka on my back the feeling of something crawling on me was a little creepy at first but soon I got used to it. In our journey, she told me that she hung on me by using her web and evolved when I was reading the log.

She also told me that she had told Clara her decision of leaving with me to be a secret. It was good she consulted someone as it would have been chaos if they were trying to find her.

She also told that she belonged to a samurai family and from her talks, I assumed that she must be a person from ancient Japan when samurai and shogun were prevalent. The time period of this world is a mess is the conclusion I came at the end after reading the log.

After continuously flying for a day we reached a place which looked like a ravine and in that valley, we saw a lone child crying on the path leading to the valley.

Was this child lost why was a frail child doing in a place called death valley or the ravine of dragons from where no human came back alive the kingdom of dragons and dragon kins as I lowered my attitude and approached the little girl I said

Sam-("Why are you crying little girl")

The girl stopped crying and approached me and while grabbing my leg tossed me in the air .
