Chapter 151 - A Honest Husband Gets Another Woman.
She quietly and slowly stomped on the floor while keeping the vigilance to the maximum! Her black eyes were going from right to left nonstop trying to smell out the husband, but to no avail.
It was obvious that she was being lured, but the time was also on Kyoya's time.
TAP!
"AHHHHH!"
Kyoya was just too fast.
What seemed to be another step turned into hell for Noe as her side abruptly got pierced by the powerful thrust of Kyoya's knife. It was even faster than its golden-red lights as Noe first felt pain, then got blinded by this beautiful, but vicious light.
Her eyes blanked and she momentarily lost her consciousness giving Kyoya enough time to do whatever he wanted with her.
He got hold of her scythe, then grasped her body closely to himself.
"Ah."
Her lips parted from this sudden touch allowing Kyoya to just shove a medicine into her mouth. It was a fairly common one and it would take some time for her to actually heal up. Furthermore, it was an action to make things smoother for Kyoya.
He held her tightly and carefully while looking out for the wound that got planted on her body due to his knife.
"You are immortal, right?"
"It still hurts, bastard…"
It was a curse yet Kyoya didn't feel offended at all as he truly came with the intention to speak. The first conversation gave him the advantage and now he could feel yet another body of a woman in his life even though it was through clothes.
Her suit was similar to that of a general, but it couldn't hide her sizes. Kyoya also felt like she would look far better in longer hair, but he kept this to himself while feeling Noe's smell assailing his nostrils. Her body eased up as he didn't do much, but just held her strongly to provide enough support.
"So what do you want from me? I won't give up on this dark castle no matter what."
"And the same goes for me. If you want to keep fighting then so be it. I have more things up my sleeve."
Kyoya wasn't bothered by her body and even mode by attitude that seemed indomitable. His voice filled with Trickster God's powers was already melting her defenses, though. What would be a common confidence became something entirely different causing Noe to feel weaker and powerless against the husband.
She raised her black eyes to face him, then bit her lips as if not willing to spit out her thoughts at all.
It was a captivating sight, even more as the husband was in the lead. He pulled Noe's body closer to make her face him, then added the last blow that somehow brought another lady into his party.
"I came to this floor exactly for this dark castle. I knew about this castle, so I will be able to help you find more of these in the future. That is if you are willing to give up on your immortality and go to other floors."
The Trickster Gods were truly bastards.
A woman who was like a strict leader totally turned docile after Kyoya 'spoke' with her using his powers. Her eyes were more pleasing and she seemed more docile within his embrace. It was as if Kyoya's words made her feel overwhelming happiness. It felt so genuine and scary that Kyoya became mute for a while.
"If you really can help me, then I am ready to give up on the immorality and my body. I need strength to keep my family's status as guardians!"
"Yes, yes. I will help you… I will…"
Kyoya wanted to have more towers for himself and another strength to deal with The New Kingdom's woman, but he somehow got a woman for himself. When it was clear that the battle stopped, the earth walls disappeared and the two got revealed to the rest of the floor!
"Husband? Why are you hugging her?"
"She is wounded! And we spoke about important stuff! Everyone, this is Noe, our new teammate!"
""""...""""
The husband was flustered like never before, so it was clear that something more happened. His wife's eyes were calm, but it was thanks to her trying to see through the things, not just going for any woman to kill! When Kyoya reassured her and waved with his usual smile, Xaya nodded and her lips curled up.
She trusted her husband and felt like he wouldn't hide things from her. This kind of trust was something too unique, so that Kyoya instantly used his game system to message Xaya!
[Kyoya(The husband!): Xaya! I think she misunderstood me, but it's okay. If she continues to be with us, then everything will resolve by itself! Furthermore, I felt her strength and I am sure she will be a valuable part of our strength here in the dark castle. I don't know about the rest.]
[Xaya(A yandere wife!): Husband! Did you mean that she thinks you want her?]
[Kyoya(The husband!): Yeah… I think she misunderstood me, but I spoke about helping her by gathering more father in law's divine energies. I also told her that I can find those easier, so I exposed rather precious information! This means she thinks of me as someone who used these to get her body! I used my divine powers, so I also didn't sound cheeky and more genuine, you know…]
The husband reported everything, but in Xaya's case it was too important to report every detail. When Xaya saw this message, she blinked her eyes and typed.
[Xaya(A yandere wife!): Husband! So what do you think of her?]
[Kyoya(The husband!): Strong and cute.]
[Xaya(A yandere wife!): That's it?]
Kyoya nodded, then looked carefully into his wife's eyes as she tilted her head. A various thoughts should've been going through Xaya's mind, but she was in fact comparing Kyoya's attitude, words and his 'aura' so that she could properly measure the situation. When she realized that her husband just thought of another woman as only 'opposite' gender and nothing at all, she smiled and skipped her way to him.
In the meantime, Xaya shocked the guards and Noe herself with her beauty and sweet smile!
"Husband, let's rest and go to the higher floors!"
"Of course!"
Her husband just appreciated the beauty of the opposite gender. He genuinely said that Noe was beautiful, but it was just that within him. Kyoya didn't even think of doing lustful and nasty stuff with this woman nor to use her in any inappropriate way.
He got a teammate, useful information and just an easy ticket for more minibosses with this woman not interrupting their party at all! Furthermore, the husband was so honest and trustful that Xaya was overfilled with warmth and sweetness.
Her hands were ruffling her husband's hair nonstop to express that.
And when he hugged her in an answer, Xaya knew that this hug was the only one reserved for her! A hug that conveyed how important she was and how badly he wanted her!
Xaya's smile couldn't be sweeter and so the husband's as both of them giggled within the embrace.
