Look back to the spideress.

As all eyes move onto her, the spider woman steps back with panic on her face. "D-Don't look at me... This is ridiculous."

"All right. That's enough," Masumi says. "You two tried to have your fun, and look what happened."

"You didn't avoid intervention to see these guests punished. You let this happen because you knew how it would end! Whose side are you on, Masumi? What would Lady Vex think if she heard of this?"

"I think she would scold you for being weak and careless."

The spider wraps her arms around her chest. "Damn it," she mumbles under her breath.

"Mostly I wanted to see what our guests were capable of," Masumi explains. She makes her way slowly down the alleyway, narrowly avoiding loose black webs as she dances between them. She then stops beside the quivering spider with her same soft, warm smile. "So what do you think of them, hmm?"

"I don't trust them."

"Of course, but that's not what I asked."

"I think the boy is a foolish idiot!"

"Ah. A sore loser." She chuckles. Then quickly, she snatches the spider's sash and yanks it off, causing her baggy trousers to immediately drop.

She wears a tiny black g-string, which is clearly apparently now with her bare legs exposed. The front is soaked. It drips down her inner thighs. A moment after she's showcased for everybody to see, she puts both hands in front. "Masumi!"

"There. Your punishment is complete." The kitsune turns her attention back to you. "You said you never saw somebody like her before, correct? I believe you may have, in a sense."

The spider grunts as she pulls up her pants, though now has to hold them up manually with her hands. Thankfully, a pair of her extra appendages are able to reach around and keep them up for her so that she can keep her hands free. "Yes, well I'm an eratigena insectrin if you must know. Once I served a different Demon King. My creator. Though that was some time ago. If for some reason we must interact again in the future, you may call me Taffeta. The devil on the ground there is Cid."

"Oh I get it. Yeah, we have three insectrin back home," you reply.

"That was quite the interesting detour, was it not?" Masumi asks.

"If that's what you'd call interesting," Eva mutters. "But I guess I should expect stuff like this. We're not in Tivera anymore."

That's true. In any other circumstance, being in Demon King territory would be a lot worse than this. We're lucky in a way. "Can we get out of this alley now?"

"Yes please." Niki clears her throat as she readjusts her skirt. She then slips her foot back into the lost shoe.

Meanwhile, Farin continues to carry everyone's belongings. It doesn't seem difficult to him at all. Though as people start to leave, he taps the end of his shoe against Cid who is still reeling on the ground. "Uh. Is he dead?"

"I regret... everything... I've ever done..." come whispered words from below.
