Chapter 66: A yandere wife gets the quest from her husband!

The village itself was nothing special as well.

As rural air swept through Kyoya, he settled himself on the small, wooden wall. The wooden wall was already in its worst state with the holes and scratches of the beasts scattered all over it.

Kyoya felt like it was also kind of shaky. Wasn't it a miracle that this wall could standstill? What would happen if those bears didn't get stopped at all and just charged at the village with their wild and hard heads?

The husband slightly patted the wood below him, then pulled the bowstring. He was using the equipment from the third floor, but it should be enough as he has the rank B… It might be not the perfect path for him, but the high level of archer proficiency tells a lot!

Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!

A swift series of the consecutive arrows escaped the bow of the husband as he unleashed the power of his. The normal arrow depends on his skill and resources alone, so he stood calmly atop the wall to support Xiaoxiao.

The normal arrows were enough to take down the bicolor bears that began surrounding Xiaoxiao. If the husband successfully struck the head of the beast, then his kill count increased by one.

If not, then at least the bears stopped for a while after their other parts got struck.

There was no way for Kyoya to miss his target! His help also notified the beasts that there is a strong enough archer to kill them with one arrow if successful! That's why, Xiaoxiao got some room to breathe, but she is no someone to waste the precious chance.

With a deep breath, she slashed the beasts in front of her horizontally.

"Lord Fiana, please let me your strength! The flame spear!"

Xiaoxiao was a believer of the goddess of fire whose name was Fiana. Her flame spear couldn't be lit up wholly, instead, only a tip ignited like a cigarette. Drawing a beautiful red arc, Xiaoxiao managed to fend off the frontal attack and inflict serious damage. The bears shook their forms violently, then momentarily fell onto the ground. Not stopping even for a second, Xiaoxiao extended her spear and thrust forward, burying the hot tip in the bear's head.

"Incinerate!"

A small explosion inside the bear's heads erupted then. The orange-haired lady performed the same attack three times, then leaped backward. As her feet felt the hard ground, Xiaoxiao spun with a red arc following her movement to prepare up some room for herself.

Thanks to Kyoya's support, Xiaoxiao didn't sustain any damage and calmly preserving her energy by using the belief only when the chance to kill appeared, Xiaoxiao and Kyoya victoriously broke through the first wave of the enemies.

"Husband, isn't she weak? She could only kill her enemies by using the poor flames on her spear."

"The physical strength is also the energy itself… All I can tell is that Miss Xiaoxiao had been using her energy reserves wisely."

"Why are you defending her? Hmpf."

It's not like Xiaoxiao has a game system that tells her how much MP she has including her cooldowns and other energies and stats. In the place of the belief, adventurers also can use their physical strength and other energies as a substitute. But it's far harder to keep an eye on one's energy if so.

If Xiaoxiao can control her reserves at such level while being fourth-floor adventurer, then she has truly survived through a lot in her two years carrier.

When Xaya heard that Xiaoxiao is the adventurer for two years straight, she felt like scoffing as the fourth floor is like nothing in her eyes. Together with her husband, she had broken through the floors in less than a month during their first time in the world pillar!

"It shows that rank is not everything. We are truly lucky to meet her. Let's go to reunite with Miss Xiaoxiao."

"Husband, husband. Be careful with your language or I will jealous."

"Huh?"

Kyoya acted like an idiot, knowing that his wife is getting stupid jealousy growing up within her heart. It was kinda strange as he didn't really say anything out of place or anything that might make normal people think he is after her.

A yandere clingy wife was just too unreasonable, but that's what Kyoya needs. He needs her to understand that in the future, Xaya must give him some private room. It's not for other women, but simply for friends as well.

It can not be said out loud and only time can help!

That's what the husband thought.

"I haven't changed the bears into EXP yet to keep the ability hidden."

"Wise husband, I like! My husband, mmm~~"

"Yes, yes, thank you."

Kyoya stroked his wife while closing up distance toward Xiaoxiao with a soft smile as his wife was truly doing her best to get rid of that jealousy. A small step like that is fine.

Of course, Kyoya won't hide his ability for too long here. If he used the phrase 'I am too weak to expose it', then wouldn't he need to keep it hidden until at least fifty floors or even more? It is just unreasonable and it would hinder his progress.

For now, Kyoya knew that there are adventurers behind the beast attack and so the villagers are watching from the other side.

So it is perfectly fine for him to hide the ability for now.

"Thank you for your support, Mr. Kyoya. Your archery skills are really good! I felt secure with you by my side."

"What did you say?"

"Xaya, calm down."

It doesn't need to be said, but Xaya surely misunderstood the 'secure' word here. She always feels the best and secured out of any worries within her husband's hug, so the image of Xiaoxiao skipping toward Kyoya unfolded within her mind once this word rang out.

The husband slapped the cheek softly, slowly turning this into his usual move…

Then, he focused on Xiaoxiao.

"Miss Xiaoxiao also has shown off a lot for us. It was yet again a valuable lesson. I would like to perform something now, but I would like it to be hidden."

"I see… Hmm… I can not really spot any hidden adventurers… As an archer…"

"Yes, me too, but I felt like asking Miss Xiaoxiao."

The lady rubbed her nose while feeling such nice words from Kyoya. He was strong, really strong for the fourth floor standards, yet he acted around her with proper decorum and even like a friend already.

She felt like Kyoya is a good guy, thus, Xiaoxiao brightly turned around for the last time to check on the surroundings, then faced the couple.

"Let's drop the honorifics, okay? It's not like I won't get anything out from this mission and it also feels good to see someone who pursuits the adventures wholeheartedly."

"Then, Xiaoxiao. Let's assume that our enemies have escaped for now. I will perform a magic trick!"

"Magic trick?"

Xiaoxiao tilted her head softly, then looked at Kyoya who was smirking. He squatted near the closest bear, then softly touched its fur. Caressing it for a little, Kyoya made the lady think he is going to somehow take off all the fur.

She was sure of it, but then, the bear disappeared out from her sight.

"Ehhh!?"

She backed off one step, then hastily returned to her position as thanks to them being so close, the villagers surely hadn't seen the bear disappearing. The orange hair fluttered from side to side as Xiaoxiao tried to comprehend just what kind of mystery Kyoya had used.

Then, she felt like she had found an answer.

"Kyoya, are you the believer of the goddess of hunt? It has to be that! You are strong, so The Lord has given you a special ability?"

"Pff, believer she said. The husband believes in me and so I believe in him! No more belief is needed here!"

"Umm... I am sorry."

Asking about the belief is not appropriate, especially if it was the first time meeting. Xiaoxiao misunderstood Xaya's words and bowed slightly to apologize. Only then, Kyoya stood up and raised the lady's shoulder.

"There is nothing to apologize for, Xiaoxiao. I have truly made a magic trick. Just like I can hide my weapons and stuff, I can do the same with the bodies of my victims! This is the power of the husband!"

"..."

"That's the husband, my husband! Mmmm!"

Xaya joined the fray, patting her husband's head with affection. She was feeling great when Kyoya proudly declared his title. The lady's mind shook and she remembered the early words of her husband.

The words mentioned exactly such an event. The event where both of them declare that they are husband and wife. Xaya hugged her husband's head wholly, her breasts slapping him so hard he ended up getting devoured.

Then she shook herself atop him like the most loveable wife in the world.

"I am the wife! The wife's power is also needed for the magic trick!"

"..."

Looking at the couple acting so lovey-dovey, Xiaoxiao became mute. She just hovered her orange eyes on them, waiting for the show to stop. Of course, it is cute to be in such a relationship and all, but…

"Xiaoxiao, forgive us! Haha, but this is the power of the husband indeed."

The game system has been created by the All Creation System, the power that came out from the summoning circle. The summoning circle holds two divine powers, but their marriage was the reason for that support.

So the inventory is truly the power of the husband and wife!

Kyoya nodded to himself, feeling like his wife's mood escalated to the point where she might try to flaunt about their marriage to Xiaoxiao. Wouldn't she somehow become closer to the lady if so?

Isn't that great?

"What about other husbands?"

""...""

Then, the couple stopped as Xiaoxiao asked the question.

If this is the power of the husband, then other husbands should also have the ability to store up the things. Of course, she quickly added that she just joked here, but Kyoya coughed so hard one might think he got sick.

"Let's keep it as magic trick then."

"Okay."

Kyoya performed more or less fifteen magic tricks, then left the rest for the villagers to get. As Xiaoxiao did the usual signal, the village's hunters left the gates and approached the dead bodies to take them back to the village.

The amount of the fallen beasts was enormous yet Xiaoxiao said that this should be enough only for a month.

The villagers truly have it bad…

If Kyoya got summoned to the world without a wife and any ability, then he might be a farmer as well! Such life was kinda repulsive as it would mean a life in constant fear. He shook his head slightly, then following Xiaoxiao, Kyoya stepped through the village's gates.

The reward for such a mission is a little pennies, not even enough for one night at the inn in the Grooma Kingdom. The free meal is kinda nice, but doesn't his wife like to cook?

"Oh, I know! Grandma, how about you try teaching my wife some recipe?"

Kyoya smiled. When he got his money, the old grandma came with a meal to the village head's house. When the question of the husband rang out, the lady blinked her eyes as Xaya was like the manifestation of the goddess in her eyes.

As a lady with old bones, the grandma nodded with a smile. Teaching Xaya is tantamount to fulfilling her life as Xaya was truly like a goddess. She urged the lady to follow him, but Xaya's eyes were on her husband.

She wants the recipe from her husband!

And the one that is related to the dishes he loves!

However, the husband knows his job!

[Quest from the husband - Learn how to make a meat soup!]

It was time for Xaya to blink cutely.

"I will do it, husband!"

"Yes, I believe in you."
