Chapter 222: Any Of You Have Arachnophobia?
"Well then...Camila had invited me over to sample some of her dishes, which were in fact all delicious, and since my job here is done, I'll be off now, Bella, and it was nice meeting you." I said my goodbyes to Bella, who was still caught off guard by everything that was going on and couldn't even react to me leaving, even though she wanted me to stay longer.
Camila also looked sad that I was leaving, but when she thought of her daughter, she understood it would be better for me to leave for now so that we could avoid any suspicion, as she didn't trust me to not lay my hands on her while her daughter was around and went forward to see me off.
But she stopped in her place when I abruptly turned around, like I had just remembered something that I forgot to mention, and I said,
"Ah, Camila, about the dishes in the sink. You can keep them there for now, and I'll come back later and-"
Camila's eyes brightened when she heard that I'd be coming back later to help her clean the dishes in the sink, but she was stunned when all of a sudden I stopped speaking and stared at her daughter with wide eyes and a look of shock written all over my face, like I had just seen something terrifying.
Bella also didn't know what to make of my reaction, but both mother and daughter turned stiff seeing how concerned I looked at the moment and put their guards up, even though they didn't know what was going on or what it was they were supposed to be worried about.
"W-What is it? Why are you staring at Bella like that?" Camila asked as she looked around her for any ghosts and slowly inched her way to me, as she felt much more safer by my side.
"Y-Yeah, what's wrong?...Why do you look like you just saw a ghoul on my shoulder?" Bella also asked with a smile on her face, like she didn't care at all, even though it was obvious that she was frightened by the nervous look she had in her eyes.
I gave off quite the image of a steady and confident person to both mother and daughter, who wouldn't freak out no matter what happened to him, so when they saw me all worked up, they also got affected by the mood and were on edge as well, to the extent that even Bella started walking towards me to seek protection.
But before she could even take her second step, I held my hand and exclaimed in a hurried manner,
"Stop! Stay right there and don't move an inch, or else I don't know what will happen!"
"Huh?!" Bella immediately froze in the position she was in and only moved her head to look at me in an anxious manner. She then asked with a nervous smile on her face, while tightly gripping her fists, "W-What's wrong, Kafka? What will happen if I move?...O-Or you playing some kind of prank so that you can make fun of your senior?"
"Yeah, Kafka? What's wrong? Why can't we move?" Camila asked from my side, and to my surprise, she also froze as well, and that too in a rather funny position, where she was sticking out her ass and bending down like she was asking for it from behind.
"No, Camila. I only asked Bella to stop moving...You don't have to push out your ass like that and can stand normally." I said in dismay, which immediately made Camila stand next to me and blush at the embarrassing position she was unnecessarily in.
I then looked at Camila and then back at Bella, who was still in that position, like she was going to take a step forward, and was urgently waiting for me to answer her question. I then sighed as if we were in a tough position and said,
"Okay, before I say anything, I just want to tell you guys not to panic and stay still, as it will only worsen the situation if you do so."
Both mother and daughter frantically nodded their heads, agreeing to my terms, and Camila even held onto my shirt for extra protection, while Bella looked jealous and wished she was in her mother's position.
"And before I reveal what I just saw, let me ask you guys one question that will make or break this situation." I looked at both of them before asking. "...Are any of you two by any chance afraid of spiders?"
"Spiders?!"
"Spiders?!"
""Where?!?!""
Both mother and daughter shouted the same words of panic at the same time, like they were deathly afraid of the mention of spiders and looked so freaked out right now that their already pale faces went even more pale, like they lost a gallon of blood just from the mention of those creepy crawlers.
"Calm down! Don't move like I said, or else it will make everything worse!" I quickly said when both Camila and Bella looked like they wanted to run out of the house in a fright.
Hop~ Hang~
But unfortunately for me, Camila was a bit too quick and had already jumped on my back and was hanging on me like a monkey, with her soft breasts swishing onto my back and her hands around my neck.
As much as I didn't mind that she was basically choking me out in her arms since I could feel her two warm cushions envelope half my back, I still needed to move forth with completing my request, so I gestured for her to get off, which she immediately did with a flustered face, wondering how many times she was going to show me her immature side and embarrass herself today.
"Kafka, please tell me that you're joking and that there's actually no spider nearby, since both me and my mother are deathly afraid of them and might even faint if we ever saw one!~" Bella cried out while looking around in a frantic manner to see just where this spider was, and she wasn't kidding when she said she was afraid, as both her and Camila's legs were shivering at the moment.
But the funny thing was that I already knew that the both of them were horrified by spiders, as when I was looking through Camila's cupboard full of trinkets and family photos while she went to bring her ID yesterday, I found a cute scrapbook full of her daughter's pictures of her growing up as a child and notes on the side of the memories they made on that day, like a well-made picture diary.
And when I flipped through it, I saw one particular page that had blurred photos of Camila and young Bella covered in tiny spiders, and I found out from the notes on the side that while taking videos while gardening with her daughter, Camilla accidentally found a nest of baby spiders that started crawling on them the moment they were disturbed to their horror.
And ever since that day years ago, both mother and daughter feared spiders to the extreme and shivered whenever they were mentioned, which was written in the notes parts of her scrapbook.
And I was using this traumatic experience of theirs as a tool to aid in the completion of my request, as sadistic as it was necessary.
"Come on, Kafka!~ Please tell that you're joking!~" Bella cried out with tears in her eyes as she had completely lost her bravado and looked like she was going to have a breakdown, while Camila stood right behind, nodding her head as well, hoping that I was playing around.
"I'm afraid not, and as frightening as it is, I'm pretty sure I saw a black spider crawl into your chest, Bella..." I slowly said as I pointed at her breasts, which were around the size of ripe apples and were peeping out a little from her white blouse.
"It was on top of your chest when I first saw it, but once you jumped up at the mention of a spider, it went down your top and is probably around your chest area right now."
"...And unless you want to make it worse and have the spider crawl down even further into your body and go to some place where you can't even find if you tried to, I suggest you stay still, as it might even be venomous and bite you if you moved around violently." Bella looked like she was actually about to roll over and faint when she heard that there was a spider in her clothes, but the consequences that came along with it stopped her from doing so, and she looked at me in a pleading manner to help her out.
"P-Please, Kakfa...H-Help me out here and remove this spider from me, since I can already feel my blood run cold at the thought of it crawling around me." Bella lost her usual arrogance and begged like a pityful little child that needed help as her fingers twitched uncontrollably.
"B-Big sister here will even give you a kiss on the lips and even more if you help me out, so could you please do whatever you can to take this horrifying creature away from me?"
Camila wanted to interject when she heard her daughter trying to steal away her man and give her a knock on the head, but stopped herself, knowing that it wasn't the ideal situation, and went back to her position behind to peek at her daughter from behind my shoulders, which she considered a safe vantage point, leaving her daughter to her own.
