"Time to head to the middle stratum!"
After grinding monsters with Kumoko for a while longer, Fu Hua found the efficiency lacking. It felt like it was about time to go to the middle stratum; progress in the upper stratum was getting a little slow.
"Kumoko, come here... I'll help you level up a bit, then we'll head to the middle stratum!"
Before going to the middle stratum, Fu Hua would help Kumoko gain a few more levels. Kumoko had more or less fully mastered her current strength, so gaining a few levels would not have much impact.
Although the stored experience had been used up, she still had quite a few experience cards, enough for the time being...
"Won't it affect you?"
Upon hearing Fu Hua's words, Kumoko did not immediately refuse. Instead, she worried whether it would affect Fu Hua's own strength! If it had any effect on Fu Hua, she would rather level up slowly on her own than accept Fu Hua's help.
Though she was rather eager to level up now as well!
Especially after learning that, after evolving a few more times... she might be able to evolve into a humanoid form.
A humanoid form!
For Kumoko, who now had a boyfriend, that was an almost irresistible temptation. Although Fu Hua did not mind that she was a spider right now, if they wanted to go any further, even if Fu Hua did not mind, Kumoko herself did!
If she could evolve a humanoid form, then she could naturally be with Fu Hua!
That was why she could hardly wait to level up and evolve.
"It won't. Don't worry!"
"Then let's do it!"
Staring into Fu Hua's eyes and confirming that she was not lying, Kumoko relaxed. If it would not affect Fu Hua, then
