Super Spark of Duper Pride [OB] - Act I: Motivation

1-3: The Weapon, The Shield, The Egg (Wyrm 3 & Spider 18)

Wyrm 3:

I'm being lifted again.

And this time I am prepared.

Ouch!

Yep, I was dropped again.

Damn it! This gag isn't funny anymore!

Then nothing happened for a long while, relatively speaking.

I mean, I can't tell the time here.

Why am I even here anyway?

...Is this my punishment or something?

I suddenly remembered something my besties said.

{ Aiko: "Wakaba's scary, y'know?"

Kumiko: "You better not push her much further." }

Did Wakaba do this to me?

...Nah, that's just stupid.

Still, is this divine punishment for bullying her?

Though I wouldn't really call it bullying with how mild it was.

But there was that one time I got so angry I wanted to beat her up.

That could have ended badly, I am glad Aiko and Kumiko were there to stop me.

...Oh, am I being moved again?

I think I am being rolled this time.

And after a while, I stopped and...

???: "Proficiency has reached the required level.

Acquired Skill [Petrifaction Resistance LV1]."

What!? What was that!?

A voice?! A woman's voice!?

It sounded so robotic, like how Wakaba usually spoke, and petrifaction!?

Am I being turned to stone right now?!

Am I going to die?!

...Um, I don't really feel that anything has changed at all.

So I guess I'm safe again?

...Level, Skill...

Am I in a game or something?

This is so confusing.

I remember back when my caretaker would just give me video games to play so she didn't have to actually babysit me.

Tsk, how responsible.

Anyway, haven't played those in a long time, having grown out of it with my time mostly spent on volleyball and hanging with Aiko and Kumiko instead.

And I am being lifted again, you know what that means.

Ouch!

Hey! Who's swinging me around?!

I am sure this time, I was swung downward, not dropped like before.

Stop messing with me already!

What do you want from me?!

Wait, maybe they are trying to set me free by breaking whatever it is I'm trapped in?

Nevermind then, please continue.

...No wait, I am still hearing the sounds of a bug skittering every so often.

Does that mean I am surrounded by giant bugs outside?!
