Chapter 199 - The Husband's Heaven!
Chapter 199 - The Husband's Heaven!
The party appeared on the floor that already gave Rosa's some headache. It was on the 19th floor, just one below her 'strength'! Of course, Rosa's peak was further, but wasn't the husband the 12th floor adventurer not too long ago?
His growth was abnormal and she was aware of him and his secrets, but Rosa couldn't help but accept Maria's complaining job as well. In her absence, Rosa became the lady to complain the most, but it quickly disappeared as the husband just went with his flow.
And the same went for other party members. Everyone wanted to get stronger and with each other's help, the husband's party felt like they indeed could go against their limits and reach those heights.
"So this is how it is going to be… No matter what floor, you will be yourself."
"What are you talking about? We have to enjoy the new floor thoroughly, don't we? This fresh air is so nice. Not like in the Grooma Kingdom, but this shows the difference and makes me yearn for more floors."
"So this is an oven?"
Rosa saw the husband and his rise in strength from the early floors. Back then, he was obviously stronger than his peers, so his attitude was not that weird, but he indeed was the husband who likes to adventure the most.
Others would've been taking their mission more seriously right now and plot, scheme and do any other things in the open area with monsters and possible adventurers lingering around.
But what the husband did was comparable to setting up the picnic.
He summoned his house, then reached for the newest kitchen project! His wife took the tables out and went for some light food while other party members went for their own activities.
Xiaoxiao wanted to help, but Xaya refused with her head high. Such an appearance didn't allow Xiaoxiao to speak at all and so she just faintly smiled and helped with the fire on her own to which Xaya didn't say anything. As for Noe, she took the scythe and danced with it not too far away from the party as there was nothing much she could do to help.
"This is an oven indeed."
And so there was the husband and Rosa close to each other. One could say that Xiaoxiao and Noe didn't really want to deal with her complaining. Also, Rosa was just stronger and had different vibes despite her attitude being rather bored of life.
It stemmed from her origins that were from the very top of the world pillar.
"It looks… strange."
"Your finger might get burned."
"Oh, please."
Kyoya went for an advanced oven that stupefied all women from the party. Of course, no one really wanted to touch it before it got done. Only Rosa was here with one hand holding a cup of tea while the other played with the oven.
As her finger slid through the reflecting base, Rosa could indeed feel the hotness that would be useful for the dishes.
But such hotness wouldn't hurt her much! It was just the husband jesting right here.
This oven was modern from the husband's home world, but he was also improvising here too! It wasn't like Kyoya exactly knew how these were done and he obviously mixed magic stuff within these.
Bha stones were melted and hidden behind all those to properly heat up everything that his wife would like to cook! This kitchen will be exclusive for Xaya, but Kyoya hoped that everyone from his party will be able to use it together with her in the future! Every lady felt like cooking from time to time after all.
"There is something I wanted to ask."
"Come at me."
"You want to get beaten again? Anyway, I am curious as to why your party doesn't have a name. Is it because you are unsure?"
"..."
The sudden question stopped the husband whose hands were dancing all over the game system to create the advanced oven! His head slowly turned towards Rosa whose eyes already shone with teasing light.
It was so obvious that Kyoya hadn't thought about the name at all and it was rather strange for him.
But why was it so?
Rosa felt like she knew an answer.
"Is it because you treat your party as family? So its name should obviously be your surname or maybe… The husband's Heaven? Haha!"
"The hell you mean… the husband's heaven…"
"You clearly know what I meant here… Am I right, the husband?"
As Rosa brought her rosy lips closer to assault the husband's hearing more efficiently, her voice began to echo throughout the husband's mind! She then raised her laughing lips back to initial position and sipped some more tea while looking at the husband with eyes that were challenging.
Even before, the lightning swordsman's tone seemed as if testing him or even maybe looking down!
"What? You think I wouldn't call my party 'The husband's Heaven?"
"I don't know? A lot aspiring adventurers get heated up when they form their party. They think deeply about their name that would represent them on the world's stage, then only after long debate they decide on it. But here I have the husband just casually accepting the reality. Or maybe not? Haha."
"Damn you. I will name my party 'The husband's Heaven!'"
"Oh, will you?"
Kyoya nodded immediately, his eyes glazed with the piercing light that only made Rosa's smile deepen. She just casually challenged and joked about the husband's party, but it escalated to the point where he named his party like that for real.
And it wasn't really weird for Kyoya after he gave it a thought.
Literally everyone around him had called him 'The husband' at least once. It was the same for both genders and people just went with it as if it was his real name. If one thought about it, 'the husband' nickname meant that Kyoya was a good man indeed!
What about 'heaven' then?
Heaven was unreachable for many adventurers from world pillars! Kyoya could list many meanings about this word here, but heaven was one of the places he surely was destined to see and enter.
Thus, his party would follow him here!
"My party name is 'The husband's Heaven'!"
"I wonder what Josef will think of it."
"What's with such a tone? It's not a bad name at all."
"Heh. Yes, it is a good name. The husband is a good man and so he treats everyone well. Heaven is unreachable, but the husband's touch can provide it!"
"Wait a second. What do you mean by touch?!"
"Maybe… a friendly hug? Or… Haha!"
The name has been set!
Afterward, Kyoya spent some time with the oven while pouting as Rosa listed out things that meant something else that Kyoya had in mind. He felt like she wanted to push him onto the road that would make him a man he didn't want to be.
It was a popular 'type' of man in the fantasy worlds, though.
However, Kyoya also liked Rosa joking and having her fun with him, so he took that side for a while as it was not that bad sacrifice.
