Episode 18, “You Guys Are Kind of Awful, Huh?”, fully returns to focusing primarily on best spider girl, Kumoko, and opens on her devouring a giant crocodile-shark beast. Now that her spiderific body is seemingly healed and no longer relegated to censored head territory, she fancies the thought of heading to a nearby town with all the delicious food that entails. Well, she
would be doing that, if she wasn t, you know, a giant spider.
While using her Clairvoyance to gaze into the fut-, er, distance, she spies a carriage – the same one carrying Sophia in episode 14. Turns out that after rescuing them, Kumoko has left a strong impression on both of Sophia s parents. Sophia s mother seems to consider Kumoko a divine beast, a term so high and mighty that if Kumoko heard it, she d be liable to lose her head again. Meanwhile, her father, the lord of the town, is aware of Kumoko s reputation as the Nightmare and thus a lot more wary of Kumoko s puzzling intentions.
