They had increased a lot again! However, I can't believe my stats are even higher now. I remember when she was so strong the first time I meet her, her stats were out of this world.

Yet not only I've caught up to her, but I've now become twice if not thrice as strong now... I sure grow fast, it's a bit insane when I sit down and think about it.

She got some new, dangerous-sounding Skills, and honestly I am beginning to think that it might be a bit too late to take her sin now.

Everything appears to show that she's been assimilating more and more of the sin.

Has she fully assimilated it now? I can't completely tell, but it exudes from her body naturally now, creating an aura that makes people feel lethargic.

Thankfully, thanks to Emeraldine's presence of light and spiritual divinity, she was able to cancel Arachne's Aura.

I think I could control it using my Boundless Status thanks to Ginnungagap's blessing, if I ever take the sin for myself.

And I believe it might be the only option if I want Arachne to have a normal life...

She sleeps for so long, that many things always happen, so it's a bit sad when she wakes up to find so much time has passed, and she has missed so many things.

So, as we were having breakfast already, with Arachne eating a big feast with Nyx and Celes by her side, I decided to explain her my plan.

The King and the Queen had yet to wake up apparently, and only the princesses and their guards joined us for breakfast. Apparently the two rulers of the Kingdom were up until late assessing a myriad of things.

"Arachne, your powers are related with the Sin of Sloth, right?" I asked her. "I know this might be a delicate topic, but I think it was about time we addressed it... Since I met you for the first time that you were very different than the rest. You were born inside a dungeon and raised by the Arachneia, and they raised you as their little queen. But you were always a Calamity, born and chosen to be that."

"Hm, I know..." Arachne nodded. "I'm always grateful that mama wasn't afraid of me, and that she gave me a lot of company. My family is nice, but they can't talk, and are a bit cold, and they can't cuddle with me... But mama was always cuddly."

She looked a bit sad after recalling that though, as she cleansed her mouth that was full of barbeque sauce.

"Mama makes me good food and loves me, and brings me to all kinds of places I would have never went to before! I-It doesn't matter if I sleep most of the time... don't feel bad about it," she smiled. "It's okay! A-As long as I can see mama, and everyone when I wake up, it's fine..."

We remained in silence after hearing Arachne's words. She was trying to calm us down, she perhaps thought we were sad.

And well, we were, at least I was sad about her situation, I wanted it to end.

"I know I can't be present... all the time..." she was about to fall asleep, but woke herself up forcefully. "A-And it's fine... Don't worry about me!"

"No, I don't think it's fine, Arachne," I said. "Your origins and everything, you were born to be a Calamity, but is that okay with you? What would you say if I offered you a chance... A chance to change? I've discovered something, a ritual that could take away that sin that

torments you."

"Huh?" her eight eyes lit up. "R-Really?"

"Maria..." Lucifer looked at me worried, because the ritual included transferring the sin to my

own body instead. "You don't have to-"

"It's fine," I looked back at him, with a smile. "I can take it."

I looked back at Arachne with a nod.

"I can! Lady Hel, who recently blessed you, is also a bit fond of you. She gave me a special

book, and with it, there's a ritual we can perform to take it away," I said. "It would be a bit long and perhaps stressing for you, and painful too... But I think it could work. I'll make sure it

works, no matter what."

Arachne seemed surprised, still not believing what I was saying.

"So? Would you like that or...?" I asked. "Maybe you don't want to? It's perfectly fine if you

don't... I guess it's your choice."

"My choice...?" Arachne looked at her own reflection over the glass of water.
