Chapter 307: Wash my back... and front too!

If you don't have a girlfriend, but have good qualifications to be a strong person, then go ahead and try your luck in Naranaska Kingdom.

The husband glanced at the elven beauty and could see that her eyes had been looking at Hiro with no sign of disgust at all.

She also could see that Hiro was honest with his Moe Mode and genuinely appreciated her beauty. However, the lack of strength was crucial here and Hiro couldn't get closer to the lady due to it.

But she had seen through his eyes and surely would accept a spot in his heart once he got stronger!

The only thing Hiro could be worried about was the time as it was unclear how long it would take him to get on her level. What if during this time, Fusia suddenly got charmed by someone else or another person took a fancy to her?

The hero from earth would only bitterly bite his lips and try his luck somewhere else…

"In a way, it's scary."

"What's scary, the husband?"

"How people from here can feel emotions that easily."

"I am similar, though?"

"..."

The husband's heaven got house for themselves in the elven territory, then got requested to wait for the Forest Pond's opening.

Not only other parties had yet to arrive here, the forest pond itself could open a few times in a year. The opening time was not here yet, so everyone could wait.

In one of the houses, Kyoya just stretched himself before practicing his concepts.

The house was relatively big and embedded within the tree, so the husband always had fresh air around himself no matter how much he sweat. There was a lot of space around him, so all trickster god's moves could be used here as well.

Alone in the room, Kyoya faced himself in the mirror.

"Hehe."

He laughed like trickster god with that concept, but he sounded rather stupid and people wouldn't get much confused by this laughter.

"Ehh… How am I supposed to train this concept? It's all about the momentum."

In the battle, Kyoya would get so much momentum his simple laughter would sound like demon's laughter and only it could help him train this concept.

That smile, that advantage and pride swelling within one's heart could push this concept higher and make him stronger!

"It's more like a donkey's smile, though."

"..."

A sudden voice startled the husband, his cheeks getting hotter. He turned around immediately and noticed a gray-haired woman leaning onto the wall with a smirk on her face. She had her arms crossed and smile kept widening as if enjoying the husband's blush.

"Hana."

Fortunately for the husband, it was his party member! The blacksmith just tilted her head and awaited for the question.

But the husband's relieved looks made her chuckle.

"No need to get embarrassed. I would find it hard if I had clown's laughter ringing in my head. Hmm, you would be able to stop me from working. That's certain."

"Yeah, thanks. Are you done with sightseeing?"

"I am. How about you?"

"I had one day of sightseeing, then Xaya and Xiaoxiao went together outside. They even took my cat away!"

"I think this cat also belongs to Xiaoxiao?"

As the duo engaged in the talk, Hana came closer and sat down next to the husband. She secretly sniffed that sweat and cursed inwardly as this smelled nothing like that. Maybe it was the husband's weapon against the women, but Hana felt like her attention got pulled by the husband.

Though it lasted momentarily as she could only enjoy that.

"Hey, the husband."

Her arm wrapped around the husband's shoulder by then.

"I think I am getting pretty good with the training dummies here, but I lack material and maybe we could sneak into the patriarch's daughter room and ask her for some more? If it's you, then she would gladly pass some. You might even get a nice night with her and take the trophy."

"Just not this again."

"Sorry~~"

"But if you need more wood… Then we gotta somehow work for it… Do you have a plan?"

"Don't I have to show off my abilities and make them beg me to work for them? But I don't want to leave the husband. What if they force me?"

"So that's why you want to sneak in… Hmm…"

The husband wouldn't be able to stop high elves if they wanted to keep Hana with themselves. But what did she gain that her confidence was this high? His curiosity was written all over his face, so Hana proudly answered.

"Heh, the training dummies are hella strong, no? They can take so much damage and withstand a lot of poisons and stuff… Used in various training rooms, these are the popular things used for training in the kingdom."

"Even other Ascended Kingdoms buy them out."

"Yep! So I asked myself, 'Let's use these as battle equipment' and you know what?"

"You succeed?"

"Yep!"

"Holy. That's actually impressive…"

As expected of a person who was on her own path toward godhood!

Kyoya asked for more details and Hana gladly brought her ear closer to his. She sang him all her results and her hot breath made the husband feel a little too good which he kept close to himself.

Naturally, the lady's fragrance and touch mixed into a pleasant feeling that he also had to keep hidden behind his heart.

What Hana, the tanned blacksmith, achieved was simple! The wooden armor that could be worn by people in 'the husband's party' and even the concept to create battle dolls was created by her!

"We will get a tremendous army at one point!"

"Yep, so keep me close, the husband."

"..."

The problem was that Hana couldn't create a full set and she lacked wood from the Naranaska Kingdom to do so.

The forest elves had the best quality wood of this type and she naturally wanted to get her hands on it!

However, what could she, the 20th adventurer, do about it? Beg? Show her skills and become slaves to their demands?

"We might sneak in… Then…"

"If you really want to sneak in, then let's do it after Forest Pond. Also, don't tell anyone! We have hidden enemies, right?"

"Right. It will be our secret."

"Secret with the husband! How romantic! I will tease the hell out of your wife later on."

"If you aren't scared, then go ahead. Just don't come crying to me later on."

"Your wife spends much more time with Xiaoxiao lately. It might be you seeking some warmth with tears in your eyes later on! I will leave spot in my bed for the husband, but no sex until I say so."

The breath became hotter or was it the husband's imagination?

He thought, then erupted, "I have never forced anyone!"

"Haha! But you make all women go for you here, don't you?"

"It's not my fault."

"The point is still valid, though?"

"I don't leverage it at all."

"And that makes you a good husband."

"..."

The husband and his blacksmith spent some time very close to each other! One could swear that they cuddled with how much red and sweaty both of them became! However, the husband was the husband, no one would think something actually happened.

But things escalated further…

"I need to take a bath."

"Me too. How about I wash your back, the husband? For all the teases I just did I have to somewhat repay you."

That smile on her face!

The husband couldn't just be on the losing side all the time, could he?

"Yeah, wash my back. Also, take care of my front, Hana."

"..."
