Chapter 9: Chapter 9: A friend's problems

????A round of applause for the new patron

----------

Early the next morning.

Arthur woke up from his bed and looked at the empty place around him.

"When will I be able to bring a girl here?"

"I should have brought Jean back last night to continue discussing the future of mutants."

Even if she hasn't awakened the phoenix strength yet, could she withstand her physique?

What Arthur doesn't know is that just a casual conversation like the one he had with Jean will bring about a huge change in the future.

But let's leave the future for the future.

After getting up and washing up, Arthur made himself breakfast and went to the roof.

Afterward, he soaked up the morning sun while enjoying a sumptuous breakfast.

-----------------

Meanwhile...

Gwen's house.

Gwen, who had also just woken up, came downstairs, looking worried.

George, who was reading the newspaper, noticed Gwen's emotional changes.

"What's wrong, Gwen?"

"It's okay, I studied late last night and didn't sleep very well."

Gwen knew that what was happening to her should not be told to George. Besides his not being able to help, this would only increase the problems.

And the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.

After a simple breakfast, Gwen put on her backpack: "Dad, Mom."

"I can come back later today, you don't have to wait for me to come back to eat."

After he finished speaking, she ran out of the house, and George didn't have time to say anything.

A woman also came out of the kitchen at this time and sighed: "Ahh, this girl..."

George smiled proudly: "My daughter takes after my genes."

---------

After leaving the house, Gwen took a deep breath and looked at her hands for the thousandth time.

She had tried her new skills last night.

It's almost like a spider!

"Was that dream real?"

Gwen remembered the dream she had when she passed out again, the dream of her becoming a giant spider.

For a girl, turning into such an ugly monster is much scarier than getting a strange superpower.

After stopping a taxi on the side of the road, Gwen told him the destination of the trip.

Regarding the changes in her body, Gwen couldn't find anyone she could talk to.

Until she remembered Arthur.

"Yes?"

Gwen didn't know, but since Arthur said that, Gwen did the same and lay down, feeling heat all over her body as soon as she laid down.

Then Gwen couldn't help but stretch.

At the same time, she let out a comfortable moan: "Mm~ so comfortable!"

The voice made Arthur feel somewhat excited.

He didn't expect Gwen's voice to be so beautiful.

But Gwen didn't realize what she did. After adjusting her posture, she said, "Arthur, I came to you to ask you some questions."

Gwen has not forgotten the purpose of her trip.

"About the books?"

"No, it's not that."

Arthur said curiously, "So? Tell me, what's the matter?"

Gwen adjusted her tone, trying to seem like the situation had nothing to do with her.

"It's just that I have a friend who has been going through some problems lately."

(Hmm?)

(Really? A friend's problem?)

Arthur was immediately interested.

Typically, people who start with this type of reason are most often talking about themselves.

It looks like something is interesting going on.

"Hmm~ Then what's your friend's problem?"

(Yes! He fell for it!)

Gwen was very happy.

(I was really smart to think of such a good reason.)

Little did she know that Arthur had already realized her little trick.

"A friend of mine recently got something and is worried that these things will bring her misfortune."

"But there's no way to play if you get rid of it."

"In that case, what do you think my friend should do?"

"It seems very complicated. Can you tell me what she gained?"

Arthur asked with interest.

At this moment, Gwen was a little confused about what to say.

To describe this type.

There is no other way.

Now it can only be half true and half false.

"Is that..."

"She gained a superpower."
