━Spider webs?

I hadn’t seen anything like that.

From the moment I stepped in, this place was nothing but an old building. The only thing noteworthy was the musty smell.

However, out of nowhere, I suddenly sensed magic fluctuations. It was then that I saw you, Theo Gospel, randomly shooting magic into the air.

I tried to talk to you, but you climbed back upstairs like you were running away from something, and then made a bunch of barricades so I couldn’t get in.

Did you not hear me?

You were probably hallucinating. The fairy forest had a bunch of hallucinogenic grass and fruits. The most common one was the spicy and red pepper fruit-.

Oh, you ate that for dinner last night?

It seemed that the effects acted late.

You could also get nightmares when eating them.

But you would naturally recover after some time even without an antidote.

This was what Kalira explained. Basically, the spiders and webs I’d been seeing were just hallucinations...

Did the red soup that Marmar served me the day before had hallucinogenic ingredients?

Maybe the reason why I had a nightmare was because of the food Marmar gave me.

“Anyway, thanks to Lady Kalira, I survived.”

As I expressed my gratitude, I saw Marmar banging her hands at Kalira.

“Comrade! Spider, you evil spider! You bas†ard! Spit out comrade! Comrade, comrade is dead!”

I looked at the furiously beating Marmar, showing full hostility towards Kalira. Marmar seemed to still view Kalira as a giant spider.

Did I get eaten in the hallucination?

Wait, did that mean Marmar and I had some sort of mass hallucination?

It seemed that it was possible... The fact that we saw the same fantasies.

Now that I thought about it, were we subjected to some kind of spell or magic?

「You have calmly judged the situation!

You have gained experience points through the talent 《Calm Thinking》.

All job experience +5」

I guessed that answered that.

Though, it was better to put out the most urgent fire first.

“Can you give Marmar an antidote too?”

“Of course.”

But when Kalira moved her hand to give Marmar an injection, Marmar slapped it off. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

“Get away from me!”

Marmar then struggled even more. The helpless Kalira sighed and asked.

“Wait, stay still-. Um, Theo, can you help me for a second?”

“Sure.”

I grabbed Marmar’s arm and secured it so she wouldn’t run away or struggle. But this just made Marmar go wild.

“Comrade! Comrade has been parasitized by a spider! He’s being controlled with a spider’s web! I’ll also get eaten...!”

“.......”

So this was what it felt like watching someone hallucinating from the side. It looked so bad that it was almost funny. Did this mean I was like this before?

Well, we better give her the antidote, before Marmar managed to create more embarrassing memories for herself.

“Alright, it will sting a little.”

Plok-.

“Hieeek...!”

As the needle went in, Marmar let out a weird, fairy-like scream. After a while, Marmar drooped as if she had lost strength in her body.

It was about 5 seconds later that Marmar woke up.

“Spider!”
