Chapter 209 - A Husband And Rosa Go To The City!
The atmosphere in The Husband's Heaven was always lively!
Kyoya felt like it was sometimes too excessive, but he was alright with it nonetheless. There were always smiles no matter what kind of language was used, so Kyoya could only slightly control the situation.
After he passed the information he learned from the 'newbie bully', Kyoya's back got warmer as Xaya took her favorite spot for herself. Then, the couple headed to their room to rest after hard work.
Of course, Xaya sang everything that happened before she went for a battle with Rosa. She told the husband about her progress and that she was getting closer to her fated path. This fated path was no longer bothering her as it was surely related to her husband.
"Do you think we should spend as much time as needed for you to learn more?"
"No need, husband. This is just a clue! I will step on this path no matter what!"
"Alright."
Xaya reassured her husband, then melted more onto him. She trembled with excitement and love as her back felt his rough hand caressing her here. This hand was slowly going down as it was the time for Kyoya to satisfy his wife.
And it was even more necessary after the great news. The moment Kyoya reached the wet spot, Xaya's back arched. Her moans then slipped out of the room causing a slight silence to their new territory.
-
The days were passing with the quests and personal training going on vigorously. Every party member except Rosa was always on the move while the aforementioned lady just chilled and sometimes gave tips for Noe and Xiaoxiao.
Those tips were from Rosa's catching eye as she fought alongside many spear users and even some scythe ones. She passed what she saw in the past and both new adventurers used it for their training.
The results were great!
However, Rosa herself was changing obliviously to everyone's eyes. She was drinking less tea and performed more of her sword dances. Those sword dances were with her just going around the sword, so nothing could come out of it.
It wasn't training, but just Rosa killing her inward desires that she began to slowly find disturbing. Her sword dance would be only useful for the lightning sword newbies, but these far in another continent on the 19th floor.
Once her step hit the ground slowly, Rosa ended her sword dance. Her eyes then looked down at her sweaty palm, an emotion of slight annoyance flashing briefly.
'Because of those idiots, even I feel like training.'
Rosa obviously wasn't insulting anyone, but her thoughts couldn't be stopped as it was bothering her much… Her circumstances weren't so nice and future was as blank as a paper sheet yet Rosa began to feel the desire to train which should be just a step forward toward normal life.
'The Black Castle and Court appearance will turn people greedier… He will also… reach out for this technique in face of consecutive defeats.'
This new object in The Grooma Kingdom was known to be the highest obstacle in the floor's history, but Rosa was sure that her older brother already tried to step in and try his own luck here.
A pure and raw strength wasn't always the key to one's success and victory.
As Rosa felt the sadness overwhelming her heart, a sudden voice rang out in her mind. Momentarily yet surprisingly, all of her sadness disappeared. It was just momentary, but Rosa felt so much at ease she couldn't help but turn her eyes to Kyoya with a slightly stiff face.
"Rosa?"
"What do you need me for, the husband? Has your wife perhaps disappointed you in bed?"
Just to cover her feelings, Rosa immediately spoke about Xaya, but Kyoya just scratched his neck as he reminded her about his seal. It was a bother and something that could be noticed by every woman in Kyoya's party, so it was kinda strange for her to forget it.
Kyoya felt that something was off, but he already pushed his limits with Rosa. Not only did he take her outside the Grooma Kingdom, he also tried to ask her sometimes about her life in a noble family. Kyoya never wanted to be pushy with this sensitive topic, so instead of asking what was going on, Kyoya spoke about tomorrow.
"Tomorrow is the day where I have to visit the Yuyu Kingdom again. It is to pay tribute."
"A month has already passed?"
"Yes, I am slightly late too! I forgot about it, you see."
The husband laughed, then came closer! Using his inventory, Kyoya summoned tables and chairs, then added some snacks. His eyes then shifted to Rosa with expectations for some tea to which she answered after a soft sigh.
"So I want you to go with me."
"The husband… I enjoy the time here and your party. It feels like the unusual harem I'd say."
"..."
"But you shouldn't try to become that close with me."
The words Rosa never wanted to say finally escaped her lips. Those words alone could give a lot of ideas about her situation and the tone used to say these was also the worst. It felt like she was forced to say it out loud!
The warm autumn forest suddenly turned colder as the silence ensued.
Kyoya caressed the cold cup for a little, then took a sip of lightning tea. He didn't really know what to say, but Rosa herself was having a turmoil within her heart. She suddenly spat out some words that bothered the husband.
"If you look at it from the outside, then it was just me helping you once. Your wife did the most damage back then too. I also just killed a few adventurers, so there is no point of trying to get so much closer."
"That's wrong, Rosa. If you really think like that, then you are making me sad."
"..."
"It was the first meeting, then we had a lot of nice time together. You have become closer with my wife too and the rest of my party… It was just the beginning, so don't say it as if there was nothing else."
Then, Kyoya began to speak about everything that happened between them. He also didn't hold back at all about Rosa's remarks that were related to him. When he imitated her voice saying 'The husband', Rosa threw her tea straight onto his face.
"Fuck you, the husband."
"Ugh, I can't."
"Hey, I understood that."
"Haha, what did you understand?"
As there was no answer to this question, Kyoya smiled faintly, then cleaned his face. Afterward, Rosa and the husband went together to the Yuyu Kingdom while everyone else was left in the house to train without anyone bothering them!
It was the reason as to why Kyoya wanted to go with Rosa.
He obviously could go alone, but why would he?
"I think I would be able to win against you, Rosa."
The husband said with confidence. It was thanks to his lightning resistance born out of the special quest. The items sacrificed for it were also top-notch, so Kyoya felt like he truly would win against Rosa if both of them went all out.
"A wild husband appears~~ So, why are you telling me this?"
"It might be me training you in the future. Don't slack off, haha."
"...Don't tell me what to do husband. I also feel like you wouldn't be able to go all out against me."
"If you really think like that, then once we come back, I will challenge you."
"Go ahead-"
There was a huge commotion going on in the city that stopped the talk between the two. Calling this 'huge' would also be understatement! It was because the whole city was frozen in blue flames…
