Chapter 110: A husband's duty

A clock ticked by.

For Kyoya, it was insensible as he couldn't really tell how much time had passed. The sunrays were still here, but there was something within him, suggesting that he slept for a long time.

His wife was also sleeping, but Kyoya believed that Xaya didn't really have anything else to do in this new place. It was a place with many dangerous opponents for her with the sealed strength.

That's why, when Kyoya felt her clenching his clothes tightly, his hands wrapped tighter around her body. He felt healed already, and so the usual strength of the husband came back!

This hug lasted for an insensible amount of time yet again.

And then, Kyoya finally noticed Xaya's face.

"..."

Her cheeks were still wet from tears that went unnoticed during the night for everyone in the house. Even as she slept, her lips were bitten, so Kyoya instantly realized that her tight hug was not the usual cuddling Xaya loved.

But how could the adventurers possibly make his wife cry?

She had her strength and could unseal it when dealing with women… Even filth, the men would be punished if necessary… Xaya wouldn't be on the losing side, no matter what.

The husband then distorted his face in anger.

'They somehow managed to touch Xaya's past!'

Just like when Kyoya awakened the unknown divine energy within his All Creation System, Xaya's past got exposed when he was asleep. The adventurers somehow hurt her, and this ended up with Xaya crying.

There was no other explanation.

Xaya was a strong woman.

"I will go out for a while."

The husband whispered softly, his voice soothing Xaya. She was sleeping, yet her lips became relaxed the moment he began stroking her hair. Her hands were still clenching his clothes, so Kyoya had no way of leaving the bed.

However, he continued to whisper.

"Believe in me, Xaya. I have already decided to be with you until the end and teach you common sense. Ah, did you know? My common sense has also been broken from the very beginning. I was ready to fight anything looking wild and possessed killing intent, but my stance took a total turnaround when it came to human-looking people."

It was probably because wild animals and monsters just had that aura of another world. But when it came to people and their human looks, then Kyoya felt like he was yet again in The Earth, facing humans and obeying the previous laws.

This was hard to understand for the husband, but he realized it from the recent experiences. Now, he was confident in himself. He might be a weirdo in the end, and following the rules also didn't suit him at all. If he were to follow something, then it would be the heart of his and his wife.

"I will be back in two hours at most."

A kiss on Xaya's forehead convinced the lady.

Her hands eased up, and she allowed her husband to go outside. This was a simple motion, yet Kyoya's anger thoroughly disappeared from his face despite being within his heart. After all, the one who had made his wife cry should pay the right price!

But now, how could Kyoya look at his wife with such expression?

Of course, it was not really evident as he did his best to convince her, but now, one could truly see the happiness on his face mixed with relief as Xaya believed in him.

[You got one point from the All Creation System.]

[You have created 'Yamitora Kyoya's plush toy'.]

[Yamitora Kyoya's plush toy.

It brings out the warmth, smell, and touch of the husband.

The toy can be used only by Yamitora Xaya.

The husband will be able to know Xaya's state if she keeps the toy close. The current range of the item is 20km.]

It was the plush toy resembling Kyoya's body! He shoved that plush toy into Xaya's arms with conviction! In the past, the ordinary plush toy didn't satisfy Xaya, but after all their experiences, Kyoya trusted this new plush toy that also possessed the special effects!

"I will be back."

And with the plush toy being hugged so tightly, Kyoya knew that he could leave his wife alone in the room.

-

The husband left the house relatively quickly.

It was because Rosa wasn't here, so he had to search somewhere else. When the main doors opened, her training self entered Kyoya's eyes as it was relatively early in the morning, a perfect time for the training.

Barely any people were outside as well, so this was a perfect time for talk as well.

"Was it you who hurt my wife?"

Kyoya didn't beat around the bush.

With his eyes looking similar to Xaya, he came closer to Rosa and bluntly asked about the events that happened while he was asleep. The eyes of the husband weren't laughing matter as Rosa could still remember the power of Xaya.

An unsealed power, albeit for a second only, was way too dangerous and frightening.

And the husband somehow could make his eyes look as dangerously as Xaya!

"You could say it."

"I see… Then, I will fight you."

The best way to speak in this world was just to use strength. The husband well knew this as pretty much everyone went against him while trying to use power and some stupid tricks to either hurt him or get his wife.

Or both at worst.

"You want to fight me?"

"Yes. If you were the one who hurt Xaya, then it's my duty to avenge her. I am the husband, so I will go with everything I have even if the gap between our strengths is too huge!"

[You have used Ace's Execution.]

And such a way of speaking was also going with the husband's interests. He wanted to know what happened and also wanted to punish Rosa for what she did to his wife. It didn't matter whether she was their benefactor or someone who helped them.

He couldn't just ignore the tears of Xaya!

The result of the battle was obvious, but the husband got more than enough respect from Rosa.
