"I am not a bully, really."
The man spoke while wiping his tears. He already took a comforting position on the ground and sat with his back straight. Of course, the husband's influence was still ongoing within his body, but he was feeling like some powerful medicine was used on him.
That was the reason as to why he spoke as friendly as possible.
After all, who would use powerful medicine for a stranger?
"I am the new recruit… I was scammed!"
"Scammed?"
"Yes, they took us here to this floor by issuing a mission on the adventurer guild and then… We literally got bound to this land to train and work for them… I couldn't even do the popular 'bullying' because the cold monsters appeared out of nowhere."
This man's name was Serda and he was from the 13th floor! He grew up here and with sheer luck managed to climb up some floors, but his treasures and concepts were lacking. He couldn't really keep carrying on with his weaker equipment on the higher floors, so he began searching for more options!
Serda then heard about the 19th floor that even the main shrines were connected with! The main shrines were also using the irregular concept to teach their believers, but they obviously had some unique information on their own that helped the chosen believers to clear the 19th floor faster and learn the concepts far easier.
Though Serda wasn't chosen and the main shrine was out of his reach, a small luck touched his destiny as he got approached by the man who could take him to the 19th floor and offer home and ground to train.
"It was all a scam! The mission was to help with the raging monsters in their territory, but we were all treated like slaves and even worse. We fought against those monsters, that's true! But they didn't even help us once and broke their promises as if nothing… We were forced to fight and struggle."
"By struggling, you would unconsciously create some concepts."
"Eh? That�� is true."
"I think that's how Fire Bulls are operating. They keep doing bad things here, but since they provide unique new concepts with scams, the Yuyu Kingdom puts a blind eye on them."
Noe agreed with the husband's words after he spoke his theory which sounded really plausible. She then passed some plain medicine to Serda who reached for it like a beggar with both hands.
Once this medicine landed on his cupped palms, Serda swiftly shoved it up his mouth!
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
It was when the husband's concept just disappeared from his body. His screams began to echo throughout the whole vicinity, but Kyoya and Noe just looked into their eyes. Both of them read their minds and simultaneously left the man alone.
"Don't you think it would be easier for us to reach the Yuyu Kingdom if both forces began to fight together?"
"Yes, that's what I thought. However, we should prepare for the cold flames."
"I already have some cards with the wood from this floor and ice resistance… So what's left is to wait for the situation to process."
In the meantime, The Husband's Heaven continued to grow in strength! Even now, both Kyoya and Noe entered the area with monsters whose bodies swayed in an unique pattern born from the irregularity.
-
While Kyoya and Noe were learning something new about the 19th floor, other members were submerged in their own activities. Enjoying the hot breeze and lightning tea that always pinched tongue was Rosa whose blue eyes were slightly narrowed as she looked at Xaya.
This yandere wife was certainly someone from above yet her strength was sealed and she herself was learning stuff that was new and foreign to her.
It was weird as to how someone could just reset oneself like that, but Rosa couldn't possibly just ask this woman about her secrets.
She, however, liked to annoy Xaya and keeping an eye on her was required to do so. If any mishap happened, Rosa would be the first one to laugh and curse at yandere wife.
This time, Rosa decided to stop herself thoroughly from doing any remarks, her body as if blended with the environment. Her sipping couldn't be heard at all.
And it was solely because Xaya was sitting with her hands in front of her. Her hands were moving around as if she was outlining something. There was some distribution around her hands, so Rosa assumed she summoned something unusual enough to be hidden from her naked eye which was surprising.
But then again, Rosa just reminded herself that this woman had sealed strength and was far stronger in reality.
"BB, can you see it?"
"I can only see those big titties."
"Mmm."
Xaya didn't even answer this remark, so she was truly absorbed in something new and certainly related to her fated path. As Rosa wasn't aware of this, her blue eyes could only turn back to the tea while Xaya slowly began to enjoy the irregular concept more.
At the beginning, she tried to summon her shield and practice it by teasing BB. In any normal situation, Rosa would summon her lightning concept to answer all the teases, so Xaya would also get some unique training.
However, Xaya's green shield thoroughly disappeared, then the source of her strength which was the gathered soul essences from her quest took an unknown form. This form was something akin to pure soul which was the reason why Rosa couldn't see it as she was… mortal.
And the soul was pretty weak and normal too.
However, Xaya was getting closer to the fated path and she herself felt it! She just needed a trigger that would begin her new class and make her enjoy the adventures more with the husband and her friends.
As it was the feat that Xaya would love to share with her husband first, she closed her eyes and decided to just wait for him in one place. Some time passed and the fire concept coming from the other side belonging to Xiaoxiao was the only thing that could be heard! Then, Rosa noticed that Xaya was no longer training and that she was laying on the chair instead, so her sipping became louder and annoying.
"BB!"
"What?"
If it was the usual day, then there would be curses!
However, today was clearly not the usual day! Xaya in her ecstatic mood reached for Rosa with a game to kill her time! This game also would make Rosa stop all this annoying sipping!
"Since you frequently comment on my breasts, let's make a ranking. I am the top one, but what about you? I can't tell if you are actually in the top two or three. Xiaoxiao should have a bigger pair… Answer me, BB!"
"..."
Rosa nearly choked with her tea. She also couldn't tell for the first time in a while whether Xaya was serious or not. Her voice was both serious and cheerful as if she couldn't decide whether she really wanted to speak with Rosa about it or not.
Or maybe she was debating inwardly whether it would be better to just go on with the insults instead of the game?
The blonde-haired lady couldn't tell, but she didn't need much time to calm herself down as well.
"How about you let me check?"
"No, only Kyoya can touch me. Filthy BB."
"At least you have principles. Then, show me that system message. There should be three sizes."
"There aren't, though? Ah, there are! How did you know?!"
"I mean… This is the husband's power?"
"..."
