The Little Bug's Illicit Profession

“A Record of a Chinese Restaurant Owner Rescuing a Fallen Woman” “But the object of her attention is Spider-Man...” Spider-Man x the Twelve Zodiac Talismans x the Wish-Granting Willow Bailey suspected that her tenant, Mr. Peter, worked in an unsavory line of business. Evidence one: He was obviously brilliant and loved learning, yet he didn’t even have a high school diploma. Heaven knew how unbearable that was to someone from China, where people valued academic qualifications all their lives! Evidence two: He was always sneaking around, keeping to himself in a room converted from the attic. Strange sounds sometimes came from inside. He’d say, “I’m OK,” but always looked exhausted, world-weary, and dispirited. Evidence three: He... secretly wore women’s clothes while washing them late at night, looking awkward and embarrassed. Now and then she caught sight of bruises all over his body, as if someone were coercing him maliciously. Bailey was always afraid she was sticking her nose where it didn’t belong, so she repeatedly swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. Until the day he fell past her window, naked. He had not only wounds that hadn’t healed yet, but also some white substance that was hard to look at without averting one’s eyes. Bailey finally couldn’t hold back from advising him: “Peter, you shouldn’t let them treat you like this, even if it’s... um, some kind of special job requirement.” Peter stared at her with innocent eyes: W...What? Reader’s note: The heroine has a superpower called Resonance, but she doesn’t know it. Its effects are similar to a guide in the Sentinel-Guide setting. She can help Spider-Man relieve sensory overload. She’s not just his partner in everyday life, but also his comrade in arms. The spider, who’s been mistaken for a male escort, will punish this wildly imaginative Bailey severely. Theme: With great power comes great responsibility
