Chapter 34：A husband is in danger?

Everyone is looking only at each other.

The running adventurers' steps could be heard even miles ahead as they furiously did their best to run away as far as possible from the grim reaper. The kids were left alone, so Kyoya did his best to calm them down, but to no avail...

Their minds were already broken and only the ones recently found could be saved.

In their case, Kyoya waited for a little while hugging them all. After some time passed, the kids could leave the pillar and their bodies disappeared one by one under the pleasant touch of Kyoya whose emotions were sincere.

Kids could tell that.

Other than telling them to find the 'church' outside, Kyoya could do nothing else. He planned to stay within the world's pillar and other random locations might hinder his plans... These plans greatly changed after an incident in the safety camp though.

"Let's go outside for a camp."

"Yes, husband~~"

"..."

The safety camp was no longer safe at all.

The commotion is going to notify the 'monsters of origins' and other people without any doubts. The party is safer outside, so Kyoya made sure he took everything, then headed outside followed by the purple goblin.

What had to be checked was as such!

[Heavy Steel Armor! Level requirement: 40 Durability: 1408/2000

Physical Defense: 2400(3600 MAX) Magical Defense: 0]

This armor was taken from the opponent Anoke had fought with.

It had no magical defense, but Kyoya had to see yet the real magic here. He wasn't particularly worried about the small goblin anyway, so he just took it with himself, then will leave it in Anoke's hands so that he can adjust the size and stuff.

Then, Kyoya took a healing item from the healer.

This is where the problems arose.

Xaya had no way of using this healing item as she had no belief in a God that allows this treasure to be utilized. There was no way for her to believe in some divine god, so the item rendered useless. It was sad, but then, Xaya decided to use her 'second character' system and play with it.

There was some belief she will be able to make it usable without belief.

Other than healing items, Kyoya gathered stronger medicines, so he was satisfied with the loot from Bruno's healer. But what was more satisfying was the archer's loot. The bow was of higher quality and much better causing Kyoya's lips to widen unconsciously.

He looked over the damage, durability, and requirement, then shouted in exclamation.

"This is a good bow! We are lucky!"

"I am happy for you, husband! Mmm~~"

"Haha~~"

The goblin behind trembled.

He was looking at the couple brushing their cheeks at each other while looking at the 'stats'. The fact that Kyoya was laughing and going with Xaya's flow meant that he truly had enough of this world.

The life of his is just going to revolve around him and his wife.

It means that Kyoya is no longer going to bother with other adventurers and living beings. The man is just going to focus solely on his happiness and his wife... The day where Anoke will get disposed... is coming closer!

He felt like it.

'Geh! What if he changed to the point where I can ask for some bones?'

Anoke thought, and so his small body kicked the ground faster. It didn't take long for his small hands to grasp Kyoya clothes... He nudged, then gathered the attention of Kyoya and Xaya! The violet eyes were the reason for him to get nervous.

He froze and just kept his eyes hovered on Kyoya's face.

"What's wrong? We are going to gather wood from now on. I want our house to be bigger."

"..."

"Just say what's on your mind... Xaya won't comment on that."

It wasn't the curiosity that fueled those words, so Anoke felt like he truly can ask for some flesh or bones. He gulped down his saliva, then asked while stuttering... The small goblin wasn't so grotesque in front of the couple.

"After we settle down, you can go out to hunt. This way, I won't be able to stop you from gathering some flesh... But don't go too far away."

"I won't!"

Anoke responded positively, his shout filled with contentment.

-

Bah! Bah! Bah!

Kyoya was cutting down the tree. He grew up in the strength just from leveling up, but the strength stat also got some points added. The stat growth turned Kyoya's body into a more masculine one which pleased Xaya more than she could've ever expected.

The wife was looking at the sizzling meat while the husband was working hard.

The small goblin had some time off, but his lips were surely also tasting some meat. There was also the sacrifice needed to be done. The sacrifice on lower floors is done in a simple way that also makes the believers less important.

*Munch* *Munch* *Munch*

Anoke was eating the flesh of the adventure lady while thinking about his god. He 'sealed' his senses to the point where the taste and even the feeling of his mouth stuffed with flesh disappeared.

It was as if he was passing those to his 'god'.

At the same time, Kyoya was also having a special meeting.

It was an old man's voice reaching out for him.

"You are already strong enough to be on the third floor... It looks like it won't be long before you enter the fourth one... The fourth one is completely different as it has normal cities, kingdoms, and strongholds scattered around."

The voice was more clear as if the connection was better.

The eyes of an archer husband went behind only to see whether Xaya sensed something. As expected, the wife was looking at the sliced meat with the streak of blood leaving her lips.

The sight that was scary not too long ago was no longer scary, but enticing one.

It also makes the meat tastier and gives the 'regenerative' buff, so Kyoya was looking forward to eating wagyu more after his hard work.

Still, the old man has spoken, so it was time to talk.

"Yes. I feel like the connection is clearer this time... Mind some introduction?"

"You can call me Ice Divine."

"Y-you aren't... a disciple... Right?"

"If disciples called themselves divine, then their futures wouldn't be unscathed."

"..."

The old man's voice was still rather emotionless, but Kyoya wanted to know more. The fact that the voice could reach him like that didn't shock him... The gods have their disciples who reach for others, so this is something akin to Divine Oracle or Divine Message.

The god was talking here though.

So it was a special case.

'Does he want me to become his believer?'

"I don't. I have my lifespan ending soon, so I am more interested in the affairs of the divine lands. The heavenly palace is a little too loud nowadays. You can guess why."

"Heavenly palace..."

"So I searched for any abnormalities and found a low world with broken floors. The curiosity of mine just kicked in and if I can help a pitiful human to live for a little longer with mere words alone, then why not?"

"What do you... mean?"

"If I could find this world and Xaya, then what stops others from doing so?"

"..."
