Chapter 276: The Business Husband

"Husband!"

"What?"

"Nothing. I just wanted you to look at me!"

"Then don't blink."

Kyoya, Xaya and Xiaoxiao were preparing to go to the adventurer branch in the fox tribe. Since there were many tribes and various races across Naranaska Kingdom, this adventurer guild needed a little different system compared to The Grooma Kingdom.

The husband's wife often wanted to look into Kyoya's eyes and he would never turn away from her attention.

However, this show could go on forever, so Kyoya made the rule that it's over when Xaya blinks. A yandere wife couldn't keep her eyes widely for too long with the husband keeping her close to himself.

In a defense, Xaya usually glued to the husband after each 'lose' and made circles on his chest while proposing some rewards.

Of course, if Kyoya were to accept every reward, then he wouldn't have time for others and his work.

"Today, we are going to the adventurer guild. I think our mission will be to gather some stuff from lower floors or maybe even take care of forests in unexplored areas. Nonetheless, I want you to be with me for today."

"I will be with you whenever you want, the husband!"

"Haha, I wonder what's for dinner today?"

"Hmm! I don't know why, but I feel like eating bunnies."

"Bunnies?"

If the mission turns out to be normal, then Kyoya and his party will be surely enjoying some dinner in the fresh forest. He and Xaya talked for a while while being as close as possible, then Xiaoxiao joined the party.

She found them two together, smiled and greeted Xaya.

But as the husband's future wife, Xiaoxiao also took a close approach and the husband was basically sandwiched by two women with different types of beauty.

"How do we go to the adventurer guild now?"

It would be possible to go to the adventurer guild if Kyoya and Xiaoxiao had some floating ability! It was how close Kyoya's women were to him and he found it a little funny, but also bothering as Xiaoxiao didn't feel like giving up first.

The same went for Xaya who kept smiling with tease.

"Xiaoxiao? The husband asked you a question."

"I think he asked you, Xaya."

"..."

-

"So it's Kyoya, the husband."

"Yes, it's me."

Not everyone was aware of the husband's nickname, but it was clear that the incident with one of fox women calling him like that spread through the older circle. There was even the possibility that this very woman spoke about her blunder.

It was both, but Kyoya had no way of telling that. He just accepted the nickname already as even if every woman called him as such, only those close to him had means to pull his heart with this word.

"We got a word to pass you this quest. What do you think?"

"This is…"

"Please, keep the content only to yourself."

[The daughter of a nine-tailed fox has been lost.]

The air around the husband seemed to get a little colder after Xaya and Xiaoxiao glanced at the mission's content. It was hidden well in the scroll, but everyone close to the husband could peek into it.

It turned out that the daughter of the fox patriarch has been lost in floors around 20th and 25th floors. Since Kyoya could go up to the 23rd floor, he had enough means to go here with his party.

His strength was also a mystery, even to the fox tribe, but they gave such an important mission because of how closely he became with foxes. The same went for his party and every fox that Kyoya had pleasure to talk with was friendly to him.

"Isn't there… like a normal mission?"

"Mr. Kyoya. This mission is nothing weird."

"It's not…"

But the husband felt like everything around him went together with women. The fox patriarch's daughter apparently was a woman in her late twenties and pretty young for the fox race and world pillar standard, so Kyoya felt like things might go wrong…

It was because she was a woman that could try to use her status if she were to be charmed by his 'the husband's status.'.

'Wait a second. Isn't this a good time to learn something new?'

Kyoya found epiphany in this situation.

You had people whose world revolved around swords, magic, gods and any other things. Since the husband had charm that could pull big breasted big sisters to his side, then he should learn how to control this title and draw lines with his aura alone.

'Should I be the cold husband? No, no… That's wrong.'

Kyoya shook his head while pondering.

Not even counting outsiders, even Xaya and Xiaoxiao were looking at him as if he was dealing with something weird, but strangely serious.

Luckily enough, everyone was patient and they allowed him to ponder.

'I can't be a cold husband to the fox patriarch's daughter. If she gets offended, then I might just make enemies of the whole tribe. She looks like a patient woman.'

The husband glanced at the portrait of the fox daughter. It was a portrait prepared for the husband as it covered the chest area too which had its own force. The husband cursed inwardly while his attention got pulled by breast force, then returned to his thoughts.

'She is the real deal. A serious woman… So I have to be the business husband.'

The business husband; a man who arrives at the scene, does his job and leaves while keeping the work connections.

'Good.'

"Mr. Kyoya. I am sorry, but we don't have time. Let me tell you this, but just by participating in this mission you get high chances of getting a spot in Forest Pond. And if you were to find the daughter, then you will secure it. This is also a mission that a few chosen ones know about."

"I understand. We will take this mission."

"Oh… Okay."

The sudden change was strange, but the lady from the adventurer guild nodded and prepared more information for the husband. This information contained what the fox daughter had planned for her 'adventure' and stuff that her father could share with others.

Once Kyoya returned to the house, he told everyone that the whole party will be needed for a future mission.

The first one to laugh out loud was Maria.

"Two month turned out to be too long, the husband! Haha!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Haha! You can't stay away from all these big breasted-"

"Maria."

Xaya interrupted, her eyes narrowed. This alone was enough for Maria to shut up, but she still laughed with her covered mouth as everyone was pretty close here. Other members couldn't stop themselves from seeing her like that.

Everyone laughed except Xaya...

Josef was the only one who approached Kyoya to help him.

He patted Kyoya's shoulder, then said, "I am all ears if you would feel like unburdening yourself."

"Thanks man. I will remember that. But some things are inevitable, I guess. If 'the husband' title can save someone, then it's all fine."

"Wow… You are something else, Kyoya."

"I am the business husband now."

"The fuck?"

It was rare for Josef to curse, his eyes wide as he found this new term somewhat serious. He later learned from Kyoya what it meant and he felt stupid for thinking like that.
