Who Let This Spider Cook?! Ch.40 (Patreon)

— Albedo —

The Overseer of the Floor Guardians lay on her bed with a smug smile tugging at her lips. Thoughts of what the future would look like flowed through her mind as her soft body pressed into her long white pillow. 

An excited giggle escaped her at the sheer thought of all that had occurred thus far. One moment, she was idly fulfilling her duties as the Overseer of the Guardians within the throne room, and the next, she saw faces of Supreme Beings that she hadn’t seen in years! More than that, Lord Touch Me even brought his family to experience the glorious tomb they all built together! 

Then, something utterly unexpected happened. They had ended up somewhere completely different from the world of Yggdrasil. When Lord Kakuei had explained that to her, she was completely worried. To be anywhere but the harsh swamps of Helheim was bad, but Lord Kakuei didn’t see it that way. He had remained calm while giving out orders; even in the most dire of situations, he was utterly ready for anything. 

A blush of hot red flowed into her cheeks as her mind ran to very crude places. Lord Kakuei, Leader of the Supreme Beings and the second coming of the World Eater was someone everyone in the world of Yggdrasil feared. His power was unmatched even amongst the other Supreme Beings, as crazy as that seemed, but she could practically feel his strength rolling off of him. 

Lord Kakuei was the definition of almighty, and she didn’t need to be around him to know that much was a fact. Simply being aware of the history of Hell’s Paradise and the Great Tomb of Nazarick would be enough to let people know just how amazing not just the guild is, but how perfect of a leader he is! 

Albedo fell back into her mind, smiling at the memories of events that had taken place many years ago. From the various dungeons her Lords and Ladies conquered to the wars they waged and the guilds they destroyed, she had thousands of moments she could recall to solidify just how great they were. 

However, none was greater than the war against Asgard, better known to all as Ragnarok. 

There had been whispers of the end growing louder before that as Hell’s Paradise attacked other guilds in the hopes to take everything they had, gearing up for the massive war they were preparing to wage. 

Then, when the day finally came for hell to break loose, Hell’s Paradise stood proud. Thus began the Assault on Asgard and the Battle of Nazarick.

To say Nazarick was outnumbered fifty to one would be laughable because there were way more enemies than that, both outside of her walls and within. War was the largest word she could use to describe what had transpired then, but it was really a battle between Nazarick and an entire realm. 

Winning had seemed impossible, yet thanks to the combined efforts of the Supreme Beings, Nazarick managed to hold out. Meanwhile, Lord Kakuei and the others massacred Asgard’s ranks, utterly wiping out any hope they had of defeating the Almighty Guild. 

With the main enemies, Seraphim, Slaine, and any other guild that called Asgard their home, wiped out, the battle was finished, and Nazarick was victorious. Albedo had been there in person to witness the very moment the members of Hell’s Paradise ascended. 

"It is over. Throughout the Nine Realms of Yggdrasil and all the realms beyond, we alone are the Supreme Ones."

A soft, hot breath escaped Albedo as her hands kneaded at her breasts; her other hand slipped beneath her dress and brushed against her slit, making a low moan escape her. There was nothing more arousing than the might of Nazarick and the one who stood atop the Supreme Beings. 

Her Lord~ 

“[Albedo.]”

Immediately, Albedo shot out of the bed, her cheeks blushing. Why was Lord Kakuei contacting her now?! 

She coughed into her hand, trying her best to put on a professional front for her Lord. It was utterly improper for her to do anything less as the Overseer of the Guardians. 

“Yes, my lord.” 

“[Are you busy with anything at the moment?]” Lord Kakuei asked. 

“I am not my Lord; I have not yet received orders from the Supreme Ones.” 

“[Good, then I have work for you.]”

“I live to serve, my Lord.” She breathed out, her cheeks growing red and the opportunity to be useful to the strongest being throughout the realms. 

“[Shalltear has recently reported her finding of a settlement within a forest, the Great Forest of Jura. I want you to escort Aura into the forest then join Buku on her task.]” 

“It shall be done, my Lord.” She stood up out of the bed. 

“[Your loyalty knows no bounds, Albedo.]” He chuckled in her head, making a small smile tug at her lips as she clenched her hand over her heart. 

“I am but a humble servant to the Supreme Beings, your will is law.” 

“[Indeed, but such loyalty should not go unrewarded. Complete the task I have given you, and when next we meet, I will grant you one request; as long as it is in my power, I will make it a reality.]” 

Her heart stopped at his words. A…request?! Anything?! 

“[I am a man of my word, Albedo.]”

Her cheeks flushed as she thought of the large body of the man she had fallen for, looking down at her. His large muscular frame and his six arms grabbing a hold of her and pushing her down against the soft bed.

“[So, what do you say, Albedo?]”

He’d rip away her dress, his cold eyes staring at her with undisguised lust as he drank at the sight of her naked body before him. 

“[Albedo?]”

His hands would roam her body, touching and squeezing as he pleased before he focused his attention on her virgin womanhood. He’d take her without any warning, pulling out his large cock and thrusting it into her with his powerful hips. She’d scream the name of her god for hours, if not days, as he used her body for his own fulfillment, fucking her into a sloppy mess, all while he-

“[...Albedo?]”

The voice of her Lord snapped her out of her fantasies, her blush rising even higher as she squeaked out a response after realizing just how long she’d been in her head. 

“Y-Yes, my lord!”

“[Then, until then. I trust you’ll carry out your orders with no problems.]” With those words from the Leader of Hell’s Paradise, she could feel the communication magic come to an end, making her let out a deep breath as she laid back down on the bed, her eyes locked on the ceiling. 

One request to ask of her Lord…that’s what she got for doing something she would have done for free any day of her life, no matter how busy she was. 

Her giddiness quickly began to fade as she recalled Lady Momonga and Lady BukuBukuChagama. They were both Lord Kakuei’s women, and only an idiot wouldn’t be aware of the relationship the three had. 

Albedo could admit to herself that she was in love with Lord Kakuei; his existence was the highest in all the Nine Realms, and beyond that he was a very handsome man, and one of the Lords of the Seven Deadly Sins. As a Succubus, she couldn’t stop herself from lusting after the man, and the way he acted and treated the people within the tomb had earned her heart-

But she knew she couldn’t confess her feelings to Lord Kakuei. To get in the way of a relationship between the Supreme Beings was a crime of the highest order, and the perpetrator deserved a fate a million times worse than death, something Nazarick could provide easily. 

She would suppress her feelings deep within her heart for the sake of the man she loves and the women he holds dear.

It was the least she could do as one of their many servants. 

— Kakuei —

I frowned as I ended the communication with Albedo and glanced at the smiling white-haired woman walking beside me. 

“What’s that smile for?” I asked with a raised eyebrow. 

“That’s for me to know and you to figure out.” She hummed to herself, making my frown dip further down. I doubted whatever she was so secretive about was bad, but I had a feeling knowing it would take a lot of future stress off of my shoulders. 

I let out a sigh and looked at the woman who was walking on my other side. “Nabe, how close are we?” 

“We’re almost there,” Nabe answered almost immediately after closing her eyes, her posture utterly submissive. I’d been trying to fix that recently because I didn’t want her naturally submissive nature as a maid to give us away, even if I doubted anyone would realize that we were monsters anytime soon. 

We continued walking for another ten minutes before all of us stopped, sensing what was in the cave ahead. 

“Let’s get this over with so we can take another one.” I frowned, walking into the cave. Apparently, with the disappearance of Veldora, the Storm Dragon, a ton of monsters have been flocking into the Great Forest of Jura. This cave is just on the outskirts and was recently a mine until some unsavory monsters made it their home, more than that, the monsters aren’t even on friendly terms with one another, so it’s really just an all out war in this cave. 

It’s our job to clear it out and return it to the mine it once was. 

We walked into the entrance and were immediately greeted by darkness. The darkness didn’t bother me thanks to my night vision, and judging by Momonga’s nonchalance, it didn’t bother her either. Nabe however lit a fire in her hands and walked ahead of us protectively.

…That’s one loyal maid. 

— Rimuru Tempest —

Rimuru hopped her slime body through her growing settlement of monsters. Right now they were forming an abundance of food thanks to the Goblin Riders, led by Gobta, but they tried not to overhunt. Overhunting only harmed the forest and made food more scarce. 

Not that food mattered to her since she couldn’t eat…But the others could, and keeping them fed and happy was her duty as their leader!

Thanks to the Dwarves, the production of more living space was a success, and any goblins ready to fight were armed with rather good quality armor and weapons. It wasn’t perfect quite yet, but the dwarves were still just getting started out. 

At this rate, in a few years, they would be a thriving, bustling town of monsters! Maybe monsters from other places would seek out their little town!

That’d be amazing! 

“Lady Rimuru,” Rigurd called, snapping her out of her thoughts and gaining her attention. “We’ve noticed that there has been an influx of humans both within and on the outskirts of the forest…how should we proceed?” 

Rimuru shook her slime body. “We will keep doing what we’ve been doing, building up our little town. Should they come and meet with us, we will welcome them with open arms.”

“Of course, my lady, as you wish.” Rigurd bowed before standing up, his buff frame towering over her once more. “No human shall be harmed.”

“That’s what I like to hear!” Rimuru shouted in joy, giving Rigurd a thumbs up with her flexible slime body. 

Sure, they may be monsters, but the best way to earn the trust and respect of humans is to show how peaceful they are. She knew one day they’d have to deal with humans, she wasn’t so naive to believe that day would never come, but she knew the good of humanity, even if she died to a very poor example of what a human could be. 

When the humans saw her little settlement, they would see that monsters can be peaceful, that humans and monsters can get along, and that peace would hold strong! 

Notice. It has been detected that the host is being watched.

“Huh?!” Rimuru immediately started looking around, confused and caught off guard by Great Sage’s sudden voice. 

“That’s ominous.” Rimuru shivered as suddenly the magicules of someone hiding in the tree line was revealed to her. She didn’t know why she was being watched, but that’s what conversations were for! 

Rimuru nodded to herself, an internal smile dancing on her nonexistent face as she pulled all her magicules into her and rushed to greet her new friend! 

— Aura —

She split off from Albedo and began jumping through the trees toward the settlement Shalltear had reported about. 

The Great Forest of Jura was a large place, a forest she was rather interested in exploring whenever she got the chance, but right now it was time to fulfill her duty. She knew there were rumors of a dragon protecting this forest, thanks to the flat-chested vampire, so that really increased her curiosity. However, nothing motivated her to see what was going on than what they had said about the strongest monster in the settlement. 

Aura came to a stop, landing on a tree branch as she looked down into the clearing, a bright grin on her face as she spotted the strongest monster below with ease. 

A slime. 

Aura couldn’t even begin to explain how a slime managed to amass so much magic…or magicules in this world, but she did know that the blue slime beneath her was very strong, stronger than her, though she doubted it was stronger than the Supreme Ones. She wondered for a moment if Lady BukuBukuChagama would want to meet this slime, and from what she knew of her creator, she knew that the orange slime definitely would. 

A soft hum left the dark elf as she reached into her pouch, pulled out a prewrapped sandwich, and took a bite. Her job was monitoring the settlement so she could kill some time doing idle things. 

As she took another bite of her sandwich, she glanced back down to the settlement, and her eyes widened slightly. 

The slime was gone. 

She had only looked away for a second…where could it have-

“Hey.” 

Aura immediately jumped off of the branch, launching herself backward toward the settlement and landing in the clearing. Her posture was defensive as she stared up at the branch she had just been standing on and saw the same slime plopped there. 

She had been too relaxed, and now she exposed herself! 

Just as she thought about running, the Hobgoblins and Dire Wolves, whatever the hell they were, began to surround her, weapons drawn and sharp teeth baring. 

A nervous bead of sweat dripped down Aura’s forehead as she began to think of a way out of the predicament she found herself in, but as she did, the slime plopped down right in front of her, making her realize that escape wasn’t an option without fighting. 

“Hey, wait!” The slime shouted, but Aura really didn’t think waiting was the right call here, not while the goblins were closing in- “Please, everyone stand down!” The slime shouted, and all of the goblins and wolves immediately started back off.

“See, I’m not a bad slime, slurp!” 

— Chapter End —

Author’s Note: My bad, got caught up reading Shiro’s fics instead of writing. I’ll drop another chapter of this on this coming Thursday, Tuesday will be Naruto. 

You wouldn’t believe how much trouble I had writing this chapter simply because the words just weren’t coming to me. 

I’m curious to know if y’all want to see what happens on the jobs Kakuei and friends take. It isn’t really important to the plot besides what they’ll get from doing those jobs, but some people want to see action like that, so let me know if you would like to see the jobs in more detail, or if I should just keep the plot pushing.
