Chapter 68 - A Husband Has Spoken Carelessly!
"HUSBAND!"
It is him!
Kyoya's eyes shot wide when he heard the tremendous roar directed at him. Of course, the roar was so loud because Xaya's throat didn't slack off, but the husband was the one to experience the full effects of that howl…
Why?
[A yandere wife's howl!]
[A yandere wife title has been activated!]
[A part of Xaya's sealed power has been unsealed.]
[An unsealed power has been applied to the howl!]
He nearly lost his hearing because of that. If the normal roar of Xaya was enough to awaken the whole village while shaking it to the point where the earth trembled, then the effects of a yandere wife title and unsealed power can not be explained with words alone!
The blood left Kyoya's ears, then he rolled on the ground. His destination, a wife. Rolling on the ground, a small two rows of blood trail marked his path. When his head bumped on Xaya's feet, Kyoya's eyes dilated and he bowed.
"Husband!"
"Please, don't speak. My ears are bleeding… And you have killed the whole chicken… Poor grandmas… I told you to be considerate of others… Ah... It is my fault… I drank too much."
"Is it what you want to say?!"
"I haven't done anything wrong! I just slept!"
Lending an arm as a pillow for the lady is exactly the act of gentleman! Kyoya reassured himself, totally getting rid of any stupid thoughts from his mind in this exact way. He was clean and pure, his wife's eyes not being able to see through him!
It's not like Kyoya aims for every woman on his road, but he found it kinda exciting to have such close contact. In his earth's life, Kyoya was mostly with his male friends, so such contacts were rare. He hadn't done anything intimate as well! It was like a hug for a friend!
When Xaya saw her husband like that, her violet eyes narrowed dangerously. She was indeed probing into her man while sniffing her smell. It was a tad too cute to look at, so Xiaoxiao on the side turned to the side to avoid any misunderstanding.
As the little nose of a yandere wife stopped, she harrumphed, then stepped past her husband. In the meantime, a hot pot of meat soup has been placed on Kyoya's head. His head instantly went hotter and oozing blood also became a little boiling…
It was his punishment.
"Xaya… I just slept… Come on… In the adventurer's life, a lot of people share sleeping bags and-"
"Shut up, husband. We don't even need sleeping bags."
Indeed.
Xaya's straight words completely sealed the husband's lips. He was on his four after rolling on the ground, and now, his head was all red from the hot soup atop… A few minutes later, the tears joined the fray showing off how hard the punishment is for the husband.
He is just a fourth-floor adventurer… How can he withstand such hot soup on his head which is one of the vulnerable parts of his body?
His wife didn't care, however.
She sat down where the husband was, then began asking Xiaoxiao about the night talks and subjects that they had discussed. In the meantime, her eyes were piercing through Xiaoxiao which somehow could diminish her confidence.
In terms of beauty, Xiaoxiao was way too far behind.
Nevertheless, she rubbed her nose and spoke brightly after discarding the thought of beauty. It was particularly easy because she heard about Kyoya's problems and having beauty is not always that beneficial. It can help, but only if one has sufficient strength to back it up. For a young adventurer with weak origins, beauty was not something she should be concerned about.
At least for now.
That's why Xiaoxiao faced Xaya with a faint smile, directly looking into her violet jewels.
"The main topic was about classification and concepts, Miss Xaya."
Hearing about it, Xaya's mind returned to the past. Her first lessons were similar to those concepts as everything leads up to the death god's aura. The death glyphs that classify the souls, their origins, other divinities mixed up, and so on. Everything about her duties here has been split up and she had to focus on each carefully.
All of this had led Xaya to build up a lot of strength in her body casually. She just needed a little guidance when it came to using that strength in a battle, but because her race is naturally born hunters, Xaya was not only endowed with good looks but also strength and instincts.
Though she was using those in a different way than her ancestors would want her to.
And since the concepts were similar to her teachings during childhood, Xaya had just nodded and peeked into her 'game system' provided by her husband. Just as Xaya thought, the first technique, she was currently learning on her adventure, had been classified. There were a few concepts she had to learn to utilize this technique the best!
"It is easier for me now. Thanks."
"Ah, no problem."
It was too unexpected to see 'Miss Xaya' actually thanking her. Xiaoxiao got startled, her body trembling from the shock. Then, she answered with slight bewilderment audible in her voice.
In the next second, her ears recorded how 'unexpected' the situation was.
"My wife… just thanked… Xiaoxiao… We are on… a good path… I am so glad…"
Tears of happiness have joined the lobby.
"Husband, is the soup still too hot for you?"
"It is not, my lovely wife, Xaya!"
Xaya nodded with contentment, then her lovely body skipped straight to her husband. She raised the pot, then put it on the table. As her husband stood up, the wife's hand already had a tissue clenched, ready to wipe all the tears and blood.
Naturally, Xaya did what she wanted.
If there was an outsider such as a village head, then he wouldn't even be able to guess what happened as Xaya's smile was just too sweet as she treated her husband. She wiped off everything on her husband's face, kissed and licked his cheek, then pushed him softly onto the chair.
'I nearly died.'
The husband commented inwardly, his ass hitting the chair with relief. It was kinda loud. His eyes peeked at the status window, precisely at the HP status.
[HP: 6000/476]
'Oh, already 476? My wife is so sweet she can heal me with her smile alone… I see.'
Quite wishful thinking…
The husband reassured himself, convinced that it was appropriate punishment despite all the pain and blood he had lost, then took the spoon. It was time to taste the new dish of his wife.
Just one glance was enough to show that the meat soup is properly done. The smell assailing his nostrils was likewise effective causing him to swallow saliva in anticipation. As the smile soft disappeared because the husband parted his lips, the spoon went into action.
'This is the dish made with the help of our system. It's okay… No more punishments for today.'
And so, the husband's spoon swam in the soup, then rose with a soft amount on it. He took the first share of his, his tongue melting! It was a really good dish as he expected! No more punishments!
'Banzai!'
The husband swallowed the meat and gulped down all the soup, then he began digging onto the pot. It was a little too heavy for the breakfast, but who cares? It is a dish from the wife, the one she had practiced for a whole night!
"How is it, husband?"
Xaya asked while giggling, aware that she had completed the quest neatly! She got her reward already, then ignored the 'real reward' from the quest which is EXP. Similarly to her husband, Xaya can get the quests and get EXP to level up most oddly, unlike other adventurers!
"It's good! The meat is melting on my tongue like a sweet kiss!"
"What did you say, husband?"
"What's wrong? UGHHHHHHH!"
"A mere bear dares to kiss my husband?!"
"UGH!"
With a long thud, the husband hit the wall then hit the ground in a softer one. There were some cracks on the wall, but other than that, Xiaoxiao's eyes nearly popped out from her eye sockets.
She was just too stupefied by the kick that sent her friend flying. Such long, refined, and slender legs held that much power? But more than that, Xiaoxiao understood.
'A beauty comes with a price… Similarly to that, one cannot have beauty without paying a price… Kyoya… You are strong… because of your wife…'
The orange-haired lady swiftly stood up, then bid a short farewell with a slight awkwardness on her face. It is better to leave those alone.
"I will be on the watch… Bye-bye."
Bye-bye, Xiaoxiao.
Kyoya couldn't say it out loud, his eyes just closed. Then, he heard the pot going up roughly as his wife breathed as if titan. She was ready to smash the pot into bits just from his bad choice of words.
His wife is just too sensitive right now.
Her kick was too instinctive, the husband thought and believed so.
That's why he sprang back onto his feet and rushed to stop his wife.
"Stop! Stop! It is dead already!"
"Even dead can kiss! Damn filth!"
"Why do you bully him now?! I didn't get any EXP for him anyway because of your stupid Filth Slayer title! Shit! I forgot about that damn title! No wonder the progress is a tad slower!"
The husband got reminded about the forgotten resulting in Xaya not stopping herself at all. The pot got splashed oh the ground, then a yandere wife stood with her eyes glued to it with a victorious tinge.
"Husband, let me heal you! It is time to practice my healing technique as your dearest support!"
"...How about you bring back to life all the fallen chicken?"
"I will begin the healing with a lovely kiss!"
"...But chicken and poor grandmas…"
