Chapter 255: The husband's game

Xaya and Rosa returned to the house.

Their mood was written on their face with beautiful smiles dazzlingly blinding passing people. However, their disheveled hair and a little red cheeks stated that something indeed happened between them.

Though the ladies were now all smiles to hide it from the husband as per Rosa's request, so it was fine as their teamwork and bond deepened in such a way.

Kyoya surely wouldn't mind it as long as not too much ruckus was caused.

He was also in a weird position right now, though.

"I am back, the husband! ...What are you doing?"

Xaya asked first, her eyes looking at the husband who was on the ground with his hands and legs raised. He looked like a cat or maybe even a wolf, so Xaya immediately wanted to go below and cuddle in the unique way.

But she asked as the husband began to move his hands and legs like a weirdo.

"Oh, welcome back. I am… trying to become invincible."

""...""

A second of silence ensued before Xaya's hands dropped all the shopping bags. She grasped her reddened cheeks and mumbled out.

"The husband is always invincible!"

"No, he isn't."

Then Rosa added the truth. She couldn't look too much on the weird husband as Xaya's pretty face bumped into her. The two ladies started bickering on the spot and Noe was obviously the one who wanted to stop them.

"Hey, don't burden Noe too much."

"Yes, the husband."

"How easy can you get?"

As Rosa still found it bizzare how Xaya listens to the husband, she just shook her head then apologized silently to Noe. On the other hand, the husband stood up and thanked her before inviting everyone to sit by the table.

The three ladies didn't refuse the invitation as the curiosity was piqued by the husband's weird moves.

He took a seat close to Xaya, then said.

"I am trying to make wind mine…"

"Cringe."

"Amazing, the husband."

"But that would require a wind concept, right?"

The husband sent a weird look at Rosa who had immediately spoken, even before Xaya. He shook away her narrowed eyes off himself and then explained about his recent finding.

The invisible concept from Xiaoxiao's flames gave the husband some ideas!

"Where is Xiaoxiao, by the way?"

"She sleeps in our room. Don't wake her up."

"Hmm."

Kyoya made sure Xiaoxiao had a great sleep, then took out his hand. This hand wasn't clad in any concept of blinding divine light, so the ladies could only try to probe into the husband's mana to see if he was trying to use something.

He then tried to grasp the wind!

"I want to trick this wind! I will trick it and make it take physical form before my hands and feet. I will fly in the future due to this concept. Haha! It's like I am trying to trick the world, how is it? Cool?"

"The husband is the coolest!"

"Haha!"

"I still find it cringe. But learning concepts on the move… Damn weirdo."

"Oh, Rosa. Don't be so jealous now! I will help you too. Haha! What do you think about it, Noe?"

"It sounds hard. But wouldn't the wind continent be helpful here?"

"Yeah, I thought about it, but going here and back would be taxing…"

Kyoya shook his head. There was also part of him that felt like some time would be needed before going to this floor. Of course, going between the floors was still taxing and required the husband to spend his treasures to move smoothly.

He would appear in the fire continent naturally after all. He would need to use the hidden pathway if he wanted to casually enter the wind continent and it would end up with the meeting.

That was why he just decided to train in the house, for now.

"How about we play the game? I need to move around."

"What game, the husband?"

"We will kick the ball up and the one who holds it the longest in the air wins."

"Okay!"

"What are we, dogs?"

"Just play the game with the husband."

Kyoya left the two close friends arguing alone, then asked Noe if she wanted to join. This lady was still holding back herself a lot, but thanks to Xaya a lot of more confidence has been built up within her.

As he approached her, Noe uneasily looked at him and nodded.

"Oh, your hair got a little longer."

"Did you notice? I decided as everyone here has long hair. And it would be great cover againstanother ascended kingdom."

"I am curious as to how this spiky hair would look longer. I look forward to it."

"Me too."

In this way, Noe also entered the game. Now, it was time for the clash.

Entering the garden, Akaro's eyes turned to the four adults going outside with the beach rainbow ball in their ranks. She thought like she was seeing things for a moment, but no, it was the reality. The husband held the ball!

Then, he kicked it up to the skies.

Akaro's cat head inadvertently focused on it and she raised her eyes at it.

It was a good kick. The ball was so high that people here would be able to clearly see the upside down castle and the whole capital! The four adults then jumped up, chasing against the ball.

"..."

This goddess just couldn't comprehend the reason for this game.

However, she clearly could see that Xaya was the first to reach it. She kicked the ground so heavily the small shockwave passed through Akaro's cat ears!

Once the ball landed on her hands, Xaya turned her eyes to the husband.

"Here! The husband will win!"

"No, no, no. I am taking this ball with my own skill."

He took it casually from Xaya whose lips were curled up into a mesmerizing smile. This smile instantly faded when blonde streaks entered between her and the husband. A pale hand then snatched the ball and rolled within the air to distance!

"Rosa!"

"Bitch!"

As Xaya's priority was the husband win, she grasped her loved one tightly, then threw him at the blonde lady. It was kinda cheating, but it was nothing for Xaya anyway. She also found Noe trying to keep balance in the air.

Strangely enough, she was the one who found it the hardest. Her race had damn wings yet she couldn't properly keep the balance in the air compared to others? What was that? She found it so embarrassing.

"Help the husband!"

"Y-yes! I will hold Rosa down!"

"Good!"

Boom! Noe flew straight at the fighting duo. Their bodies were already half-way down and not too much time was left in the battle. As Noe entered the battle, her hands found the ball first instead of Rosa.

Somehow, the blonde lady fell straight to the husband's hands. Kyoya also was surprised as he aimed at the ball, not her breasts!

"Damn chest loving bastard!"

"No comment!"

"Just say that you love these!"

"W-well. I don't dislike-"

"Ohhh?"

Her voice stated that Rosa liked it and her eyes teased Xaya who was watching the battle from the other side. A yandere wife carefully looked over the battle, so she knew that her husband wasn't trying to be mean here.

Furthermore, Rosa just used the husband to tease her! It was enough for some punishment as the relationship was not yet official. This blonde woman was bound to more limitations, but Rosa also hadn't talked about what exactly happened between her and the husband, so there was no real introduction like Xiaoxiao did.

So Xaya went all out.

Cold Ghost appeared in the air.

"Cheating! That's cheating!"

"Shut up, the husband! It's your game, so I can bend the rules!"

"Hah, so I also can do it."

The lightning and the coldness clashed. The two elements exploded mid-air, so the husband got swept by it. He could either try to land safely which would be no problem for the adventurer that could fight on the 19th floor.

He also could try to learn his new concept, reach the wind and trick it.

During his fall, Kyoya actually stopped himself for a few seconds. It looked like he was holding the invisible stick mid-air, but this stick began to move on itself…

"Ah, fuck!"

Since Kyoya held for longer, he found another flaw in his concept. The wind continued to move which was weird considering his initial thoughts, but he moved with the wind and hit another house's garden.

Once he returned to his own, Kyoya found Xaya and Rosa chilling as if nothing happened.

There was also Noe with the ball in her hand.

"I won. I think."

"Yeah, you won. Tomorrow, we will go outside and bully some blacksmiths!"

It was the reward that Noe liked. She hugged the ball and looked extremely cute to the point where the husband just could only look at her with an embarrassed smile.

He then uttered, "Congratulations."

"Thanks!"

Looking at this from the side was Akaro.

"Adults acting like kids? That might be how they enjoy their time outside the adventurer life… It reminds me of some gods."

But the gods were even more weird, so Akaro didn't comment further.

"Hey, wanna go for another round? The reward will be simpler this time, though."

"You just don't feel like thinking about one."

"Well…"

"I will play with the husband!"

"Me too."

Akaro's eyes just closed. In a way, it was also the training for them, so her comments no longer appeared to the world. It was also true that she had nothing better to do on this sunbath, so once the game started, Akaro just began to comment from time to time.

"The spiky hair is getting better balance mid-air."

"And she is cheating again…"

"Why does he always end up in a woman's garden, though?"

"..."

Akaro got stupefied by all her comments later on.
