Chapter 271: Another Adventure

A week passed after the incident with the upside down castle. Things weren't looking safe in the Grooma Kingdom and other ascended forces have just entered this floor to look over the situation.

Since such forces had no close relationship here, they were teleported straight to the main gate that was flooded with divine demons' creatures.

Some have escaped, some have died which was weird...Weren't these people one of the strongest here? One would expect them to have some IQ or realize that this situation is nothing to laugh at.

However, such forces were preparing for the divine demons and even had an idea of trying to take over The Grooma Kingdom's capital.

"I want to leave this floor today."

Kyoya gathered his friends and looked into everyone's eyes in rotation. He was the leader and it was no time to just ask questions, but move decisively.

His friends nodded with faint smiles, ready to follow the husband. Noe was one of the happiest, knowing the husband before his 'leadership'. She, just like others, has already recovered from the recent event with Lightning God. Everyone was ready to get stronger and follow the husband who was just like a magnet for high dangerous phenomenons.

And it was known that such phenomenons allowed adventurers to grow the fastest in strength!

"What is the plan?"

"Naranaska Kingdom is where I want to go."

"Sure. Another ascended kingdom! I have never been there. What about you guys?"

Josef decided to stick to the husband's party and was one of the rare male party members! He found it often hard to talk with others because of that, so Josef spoke when the topic was related to everyone the most.

He asked everyone and as expected, no one has ever been in Naranaska Kingdom.

The husband had a small experience with this kingdom when the assassin helped him with the assassin craft. This ascended kingdom had special wood that could withstand the full power without any problem!

Kyoya also gathered more information about this kingdom and found out that there was a race that was often dreamed off in the earth by fantasy lovers. This race was the Elven Race and they had many branches such as Sun or Moon Elves.

Kyoya wanted to get closer with the Forest Elves as they would be able to give him a quest to heal his wife's lost arm.

So when thinking about his next stop, Kyoya looked over the ascended kingdoms he was aware of and this one turned out to be the best. Of course, the husband also wanted to meet other races and just have others enjoy more of their lives.

The event with Mervase left a deep hate within their hearts and Kyoya also looked for some ways to brighten the mood with not just raw training!

After Kyoya stated his next goal, everyone went to pack up things and prepare for the new adventure.

"..."

"..."

Kyoya was left with Xaya whose eyes were set on the white streak that seemed to grow longer. She never said anything about it, but those eyes told Kyoya that Xaya found it disturbing.

In a way, it was pulling attention, so Kyoya was fine with Xaya being bothered by that. She was distracted from her lost arm and it allowed Kyoya to easily wrap his arm around her body.

Pulling his wife closer, Kyoya bumped his forehead, and that white streak, into hers and laughed out loud.

"I think I am going to have black-white hair at some point. Way cooler than your master, right?"

"Black and white… Hmm."

Xaya imagined her husband with new hair. It took her awhile as she tried various styles! For example, Xaya imagined the husband with white on the side and black on another, then some weird hairstyles began to unfold in her mind.

But in the end, the mixed white and black streaks were the best and even made the husband cuter.

"Yes! The husband will be cuter!"

"I meant cooler…"

"Cuter is better, the husband."

If the wife says it's better, then it is.

The husband just shrugged, then left the house with his wife by his side. Xaya usually struck insanely close, but she was now even more, probably to hide her lost arm… Kyoya didn't stay idle and also wrapped his arm around her waist to keep his wife comfortable and safe!

Their goal was to get a blacksmith into the party!

"Husband."

"Yes?"

"Do you have any idea why Rosa's family is not going after us?"

"I do."

Kyoya and Akaro had discussed this already. The former goddess told Kyoya that Zaya was probably someone's first disciple. If not, then she was at least the direct disciple of some kind of god.

Her beauty and that power struck the husband and not only him as Xaya was also impressed by white-haired woman. That's why Kyoya didn't even think that Akaro was wrong here.

"I think that woman somehow cut the connection between Mervase's gods' consciousness and his body in heaven. Because of that, Brye doesn't know what exactly happened and probably is blaming the whole divine demons for his disappearance."

"This filth… must be killed."

"I agree with you."

"But why would this woman appear here?"

Xaya wondered why someone like that would appear in this underground and help the husband without wanting anything back. Of course, Zaya learned about the husband's name but was that appropriate price?

She asked the husband who just scratched his cheek.

"So we don't know… what exact divine energy I have in my body, right? I mean, I have a quest to become Ninth Trickster God, but there has to be a foundation for that… Allegedly, this upside down castle was The First Trickster God's doing, so maybe this god… sent Zaya here."

"It's weird for him to let the husband go freely around the world."

"I agree. He might be like Feniks and be interested in the dual divinity I wield, but we can not be sure about him. Literally everyone warned us about him and his mysteriousness, so we have to be careful."

"Yes, the husband!"

The couple finally found themselves in front of the smithy. This smithy was crowded by people who constantly were trying to get blacksmiths repair their weapons and armors. Kyoya was obviously bothered by that, but his eyes spotted Hana gesturing for him to come closer.

Since he was invited by the blacksmith herself, Kyoya and Xaya went past everyone and so it was time for yandere wife to meet Hana.

"Hi, Kyoya. What a hottie you got here. That must be a yandere wife I have heard some rumors about."

"What kind of rumors have you heard?"

Xaya asked while being held by the husband. She also held his clothes and was looking charming and cute, her gorgeous beauty accentuing that aura.

"I heard your eyes alone can kill and stuff. But you are pretty cute."

"That's because I have the husband's heart beating genuinely for me. For him, I have to look the best and don't bother with insignificant filth that can only beat their cock and speak stupid rumors."

"..."

"How honest. That's what I like! Are you guys here to bring me with you on the adventure?"

"Yes. The situation is too hard for us, low level adventurers, and we don't have backing from popular parties anyway. I don't know about you…"

"I am fed up with this situation. It's as you said, Kyoya. I would rather try something new than deal with others' depression… One part of the city has already been conquered by those creatures, so it's just a matter of time before others bail out. There are some rumors in our blacksmith circle that other ascended kingdoms have already extended their hands with invitations."

"I am fed up with this kingdom."

Xaya chimed in. She sent her violet eyes at Hana with approval, then added, "We are going for the high grinding."

"Hard grinding?"

"The husband told me it means to quickly get strength. I heard about you not following any gods and that's what I like about you. Enough of this chit-chat here. Husband, I want to sleep!"

"Yes, come."

Xaya jumped into the husband's arms, then laid her head on his chest with a blooming smile. She hid her lost arm and closely stuck to the husband, then her eyes gently closed. It seemed like she already fell asleep as Xaya's soft breathing merrily assaulted the husband's ears.

"It's rare for Xaya to take a liking to someone like that. The huge factor is that you don't believe in any god."

"Does that mean your wife is the same as me?"

"Hmm, both of you don't believe in any god. That's true."

"That makes me want to go with you even more. What's the plan for your party?"

"Naranaska Kingdom."

"Oh, that's great. Have you heard about their training dummies?"

"Training dummies?"

"Yeah, they have really nice training dummies. I heard that there was someone brave enough to steal them."

"..."

"Since we blacksmith use all elements to create weapons, I should be able to learn about these dummies. With a stroke of luck, I might be able to learn a thing or two. I am looking forward to our adventure, Kyoya."

"Me too. Prepare for a lot of work, though. I still want to enjoy adventures, but I will focus more on strength growth."

"If I can become stronger, then I will hold onto this chance. I don't feel like wasting any opportunities, Kyoya."

The Husband's Heaven was ready for another adventure after this talk!
