「Far from either of those...Gosh...What would they even be close to here...?」 Shaking her head slightly, she let out a breath. 「Probably best not to think about it... Anyway, yeah, I was reincarnated from a certain incident, and some stuff happened, and now I'm here.」

「Eugh...You probably wouldn't believe half of the stuff I would say...Even I have a hard time believing it sometimes...」

「Jeez...You really wanna hear it, huh...」

「Ah...How do you keep finding me, Oden-chan...?」

Shiraori let out a soft, long breath. 「Well, it all started about a decade or so ago, or about a year depending on where you were...」

「See, in my past life, I was originally a normal spider, kept around a classroom. Suddenly that classroom got hit with magic from another world due to its hero and demon lord aiming for a certain figure in that class. ...I suppose I can call them my adoptive mom now...」

「Beautiful is...a word for it, I guess... I would just describe it as spite, I guess... To spite the one who reincarnated me, to spite the god who threw me into the most dangerous dungeon, only to end up a god myself...」

「It's strange. I wanted to do that at first, you know? But after a certain point, I came to admire that person. Plus, she could probably kill me without a second thought if she really wanted to. So, for now, I'm working for her. Though..."work" is a really loose term here...」

「Maybe it is boring, being a plaything despite having unfathomable power. ...But honestly? I just want to laze around after what I went through.」

//Random thought that nobody cares about: At first I didn't like the OP or ED for the 2nd cour of Kumo Desu Ga, but I eventually came to like them more than the 1st cour's.

「Year...What year is it...?」

//Oi. 𝙈𝙞𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝘽𝙞𝙧𝙙. How dare you give me hope.

//...I have so many chapters to go back and screencap now....uuuuugh

「I guess I should go out every once in awhile...」
