Chapter 198 - A Husband Invites Rosa For A New Adventure
As the party was close to packing up sufficient things for their adventure, the leader himself was alone in the room. He took out the spatial earring from his inventory, then peeked into its content that would shock even top adventurers from the 20th floor onward!
What was inside was naturally the fallen noble descendant's equipment.
This equipment was lightning one and Kyoya could certainly use it for his quest to give the surprise for the lightning gods. However, Kyoya felt like it would be far better to sell it and acquire more stuff for himself and his friends.
It wasn't like a low floor adventurer would go straight to heaven, so there was indeed a huge amount of time for the husband to polish up this surprise. Nonetheless, it was clear as the sky that the problems would come knocking at his doors if he were to sell the equipment somewhere in the Grooma Kingdom.
The floors were vast, so Kyoya felt like it would be fine if he were to go somewhere low floor, but would the price be appropriate then? Other ascended kingdoms also were a choice, but Kyoya simply didn't know about their black markets or anything similar to that.
He also didn't know the relationship that Rosa's family had with the adventurer party he has been leveraging all this time.
"Maybe I can take Rosa together with us?"
It wasn't like Kyoya thought about it for the first time. Such thoughts appeared a lot during their preparation for a new adventure! Though Rosa rarely left for her missions, Kyoya felt like she would accept if he were to pester her enough.
As to why the husband would go so far for her? Of course, the husband was the husband, but Kyoya also got a lot of help for Rosa and so he felt like this adventure would help her heart as she would spend more time with others.
Thus, Kyoya left the house and headed to his neighbor.
On his way, he found some gossip talking about the recent events from passing adventurers. They were speaking loudly and clearly as those were news that were commonly known in the Grooma Kingdom.
"There is apparently a balance between the evil and common concepts within the court. This balance makes me kinda worried."
"Though on the paper it is shown that six families are mostly following the good gods, I am sure they have a lot behind their ears. You don't have to worry much about balance and if things were to change then I guess it all depends on our leader's choice!"
"Speaking of balance, I heard the youngest prodigy from Nure Household went missing."
"He and the current head were the same, so the rumors stated that he was supposed to be the next head if nothing wrong happened on his path. Life is not fair."
"Nothing wrong? I wonder why the eldest son is not the one to inherit the family."
The husband listened to their conversation attentively as they spoke about the things that were related to him. Other than this, Kyoya also heard the adventurers talking about Rosa and whether she would care about this.
All of them agreed that the blonde lady would ignore this and at most she would just return to her family. However, nothing like this happened at all and she just casually stayed in the party's territories as if waiting for another small mission.
From all of this Kyoya felt like he got some understanding of his friend's situation. Furthermore, the eldest son held a sword just like Rosa yet the youngest prodigy possessed the lightning spear. The rumors have mentioned that this family was known from their spearmanship, so if anything then eldest son and Rosa were the 'weirdos' and it wasn't strange at all for the family head to choose the youngest.
But Kyoya was sure that many people preferred strength and progress rather than the technique itself.
'If not, then the evil gods wouldn't be so casually accepted.'
After his inward comment, Kyoya's pace quickened and he arrived in front of Rosa's house. He knocked the doors like usual, then stepped into the house after her voice allowed him to do so.
Moments later, Rosa's appearance slipped into Kyoya's eyes as he noticed her sitting near the window with one hand stirred the tea slowly. Of course, her blue eyes switched from a not so calm neighborhood to the husband.
"I heard you all packing some things."
"Yes, I wanted to wait for Josef and Maria as they might end their mission earlier, but I guess I can not wait much."
"So, you are going on the mission. Good luck."
"Thanks, but I want you to go with us."
Kyoya stated with the voice that wouldn't accept no.
This kind of voice could pull some strings on the women's hearts as it was the husband speaking! He himself was even aware of it as the desire to help this lady bloomed within his heart.
It caused some changes within Rosa's eyes, but she let out a faint laugh and spoke as if she mistook the husband's feelings.
"I don't feel like fighting nowadays, Kyoya."
"But I don't want you to fight for me. I just want you to spend time with us."
"You know that I would help you if things were to turn bad."
"I believe you would help us, but the main goal is to have you have some fresh air. Things are getting more noisy lately on here too."
As someone who followed the husband on his early path, Rosa knew that he usually stepped in some weird things and inheritances that would lead many adventurers to death! Of course, she no longer did that as Kyoya was already off the radar from the Aria Kingdom's guild master.
This topic seemed as if no longer related to Kyoya yet Rosa suddenly felt like he would face someone from this kingdom sooner or later. She also remembered 'that short woman' whose poison was one of the most infuriating things in the world pillar!
Nonetheless, Rosa herself just got closer to the husband who was indeed pestering her for a long time.
"I have finally found someone I feel like spending time with."
"Rosa, so-"
"But don't get too close to me, the husband. At some point, I will leave."
Kyoya couldn't help, but get more clues out of it. The word 'finally' and then 'leave' both gave him a rough idea as to what Rosa has been going through in this world pillar and ascended kingdom!
Nonetheless, he smiled and nodded, then took her hand that pulled the lady out of the house. As the research was done beforehand by the husband and Xiaoxiao, they knew their destination and floor that possessed the land unique with fire that suited the updated quest from Akaro!
"Oh, the blonde bitch is coming too? I don't mind, husband!"
As if the eternal war was already written within their hearts, Xaya and Rosa ended up cursing at each other first. This time, Xaya took the first baton and spoke first, her eyes shining as if looking down on the new lady!
"Since your husband is nice enough to not control you much, it will be my small task to look over you. Don't go all 'filth, filth, filth' and wear some proper clothes first."
"Ha! Just wait for my full equipment! These heels are already top-notch and you bitch don't even think of getting ones from the husband!"
"..."
"..."
Kyoya felt a little awkward as Rosa's eyes were more jealous than he ever thought she could get!
