"Three, two, one… alright, Peter, you can open your eyes now!"
Standing in front of the tall, full-length mirror, Peter Parker slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he saw the "little girl" in the mirror, Little Peter was instantly stunned. Oh my goodness—was that really him?
She was too cute!
But at the same time, he felt unbelievably embarrassed.
Peter's cheeks burned red, but he couldn't stop himself from sneaking glances at the mirror—once, twice, countless times.
Rimuru, looking at her masterpiece, felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
Her judgment had been absolutely right. Peter Parker was truly perfect for wearing women's clothing. Those three days she spent cramming every detail of cross-dressing knowledge were not wasted.
Under Rimuru's careful selection, Peter wore a white shirt, a fitted blazer, a simple plaid skirt, silk stockings, little leather shoes, a blonde wig, and a cute bow-shaped hair clip.
Perhaps because Peter was overflowing with embarrassment, his little face was flushed and his movements were stiff and hesitant—but that only added countless layers of feminine charm to him.
At first glance, "she" looked like a delicate and beautiful, yet extremely shy, little loli.
Even knowing Peter's real identity, Rimuru couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.
As the gentlemen of culture often said: if they're this cute, they're definitely a boy!
Because he hadn't hit puberty yet, Peter had no Adam's apple. Dressed like this, there was no flaw at all.
Perfect!
Seeing Rimuru's mischievous smile, Peter felt a chill run down his spine.
What was this ominous feeling?
Then another thought struck him—he was wearing women's clothes, but he hadn't become any stronger!
"Um… Master Rimuru, I don't think I got any stronger…"
Peter said shyly, cheeks still red.
Rimuru's own face flushed slightly. She coughed softly and said, "Of course not yet. There's still one more ritual you haven't completed."
"Another ritual?"
Peter blinked. Before dressing him up, Rimuru had never mentioned anything about additional rituals.
Was she tricking him?
No, no, Rimuru was so kind. How could she trick him?
He must be overthinking!
How could I doubt Rimuru? Peter, oh Peter, compared to the kind and upright Master Rimuru, you really are too pathetic!
After readjusting himself mentally, Peter asked, "Master Rimuru, what other ritual is there? I'll complete it one hundred percent!"
"Good. That's the attitude a true strong person should have."
Rimuru pointed dramatically at Peter, imitating All Might. "Peter, you will definitely become stronger!"
"I…"
Peter covered his mouth with his hand, eyes filling with tears. Master Rimuru, you're truly amazing!
"Are you ready?"
Peter's heart blazed with determination. "Master Rimuru, just tell me what to do!"
Rimuru: "Alright. First, extend your right hand and make a fist."
Peter: "Okay, done!"
Rimuru: "Put your fist next to your head. Tilt your head slightly and rest it on your fist."
Peter: "Like this?"
Rimuru: "Too stiff. Relax—yes, good, very good. Close your right eye, stick out your tongue a little to the right, smile… no, your face is too stiff… loosen up…"
…Something felt wrong.
Why did this feel like he was acting cute?
And worst of all—it was so embarrassing!
Click!
A camera shutter sounded. The flash blinded his eyes for a moment.
Huh?
Did Master Rimuru just take a picture?
Why?
A terrible thought rose again in Peter's mind: Could Master Rimuru be tricking him?!
Gulp.
Peter swallowed and asked weakly, "Master Rimuru… were you taking a picture?"
Rimuru nodded. "Sorry, I forgot to turn off the shutter sound and flash."
Her expression looked suspiciously smug.
What should he do? What should he do when these dark suspicions keep swelling inside him?
Peter asked timidly, "Master Rimuru… why are you taking pictures?"
"Idiot."
Rimuru tapped his head lightly. "Of course it's to keep a reference photo. How else can I check if your posture is correct or not?"
So that's it!
Peter suddenly understood. In such a short time, he had doubted Rimuru twice. Uncle Ben had taught him so many lessons, yet Peter still hadn't learned properly.
Peter, oh Peter, you still have a long way to go!
Ten minutes later.
"Good, Peter, your comprehension is excellent. You truly are the genius I selected!"
Peter felt as if he were filled with energy. He passed? Really passed?
That's great!
"Master Rimuru… can I become stronger now?"
Rimuru nodded. "Of course. Alright, next we'll learn the second ritual pose."
Peter collapsed. "Ah?! There's a second one?"
Rimuru said sternly, "Peter, are you planning to give up? Say it loudly: Peter, are you someone who gives up easily?"
Peter clenched his fists and shouted, "No! I'm not that kind of person!"
"Good. Make two little fists, hold them in front of your chest, puff your cheeks, yes… now shake your head left and right… pfft—well done."
Half an hour later.
After successfully completing nine ritual poses in total, Peter's face was completely red. From exhaustion, he was panting softly.
"Master… I've finished everything…"
Rimuru nodded with immense satisfaction. What a great harvest!
"Excellent. Peter, you have perfectly completed my test. By the name of Rimuru Tempest, I bestow upon you the name Mei Dai. From now on, when dressed as a girl, you shall be Spider-Girl—Mei Dai!"
…Mei Dai?
Spider-Girl?
Why a girl's name?
Wait—didn't this mean that wearing women's clothing wasn't just for today?
Oh… my God!
But before he could protest, Peter suddenly felt a holy light envelop his body. In an instant, he felt as though he were soaking in a hot spring—warm and comfortable.
It was a mysterious, indescribable sensation. His pores all opened up, and a gentle current washed through him.
And the name Mei Dai had been branded into his very soul, as if he had always been destined to bear it.
So this was what Master Rimuru meant by becoming stronger through cross-dressing?
He really did it! He became stronger!
Master Rimuru—he was truly one of the greatest people in the world. Such kindness—he was a benefactor!
…Huh?
"Benefactor"? "Great kindness"? When did he even learn those words? His English teacher never taught them!
"What's that smell?"
Just as Peter fully recovered, he almost threw up. The stench was awful.
And what was that black, greasy layer on his skin?
"Ugh, it stinks! Peter Parker, go take a shower immediately!"
"O-okay!"
The whole experience was too shocking; Peter's mind had gone blank.
This… this couldn't be a cleansing of marrow and bone, right?
"Cleansing of marrow and bone"—another new phrase. Could cross-dressing… teach him new vocabulary too?
This was amazing!
Watching Peter—no, Miss Mei Dai—enter the bathroom, Rimuru was still in disbelief.
"Cleansing of marrow and bone… seriously? Giving someone a name can really make them stronger?!"
Rimuru was ecstatic. If Mei Dai wasn't still showering, she would have screamed with excitement.
Little Spider was truly useful!
