Chapter 60 - A Yandere Wife Is Not On The Perfect Path?
The adventurer guild's status has risen so high it is comparable to the families behind nine ascended kingdoms. Every guild is different, however!
There are two paths that people aiming to grow up in strength take. It is to become an adventurer or join the noble families.
There are cases where adventurers work with nobles, but it is riskier this way. It naturally depends on the noble family when it comes to the danger and whether it is fine to trust their intel, but most nobles treat the adventurers working for them similarly to the slaves.
Bound by contract, there is no place for trust or amiable feelings that sometimes can change the tides of the battle.
Kyoya naturally wants to grow up in strength, so that the adventurers' life can be lived off to the fullest. It would be different if his wife hadn't given him power such as the All Creation System and snatched him from his world using raw force.
Since Kyoya has enough means to grow up in strength steadily, he is obviously going to form a lot of friendships and seek the beautiful lands filled with magic!
It is time to see how good his growth had been for his not so short time in another world!
"Hello, I would like to become an adventurer."
"Me too."
"Miss, please wait for your turn."
"We are married. Treat us as one."
"Ugh… Okay, I can give you this privilege…"
Beauty certainly changes a lot of things. In the adventurer guild, every rookie was calmly and patiently staying in the row, but Xaya hugged her husband's arm and stood next to him to which she herself stood out more.
Not only she was too beautiful for this place, but she was also persistent and unyielding! Her love was brimming from her and once she spoke, the lady behind the desk could only comply. Too much love had given [+9999!] persuasion for a yandere wife!
"Then, please listen. The adventurer guild welcomes everyone thriving to become a strong and influential person, not only strength-wise but also character-wise. We are thrilled to have you on the board."
The lady behind the desk spoke eloquently, her voice not faltering at all as she sat straight. Exuding professionalism and charm of the business lady, the lady behind the desk spoke about the most important rules in the adventurer guild.
The first rule was to keep proper manners within the guild. When she said it, her eyes glanced at Xaya who was supporting her husband with a bright smile… It would be appropriate to say something here, but it strangely felt nice.
Other than that, the lady spoke while understanding the harsh reality. The deaths are given during the adventurers and missions, but if someone is known to be vicious and heartless, then the guild can banish such person without scruples no matter how strong the adventurer is.
"Our adventurer guild is special as you can see. The new world, the new system… There are a lot of mysteries and intoxicating adventurers on your path, but our leader's motto is to keep the innocent and weak out of it."
It was the first thing for Kyoya to hear. He came to the Grooma Kingdom without much info about the adventurer guilds because Xaya's mom didn't go into details as much as he wanted.
Of course, there are things that Kyoya should research beforehand. It was his mistake to not think about the leaders behind each adventurer guilds. Each of them has a different stance when it comes to such things.
'Every adventurer guild's leader is different… I should treat them similar to the king.'
"Adventurer Guild is a place where everyone can find a job for themselves. This is not only limited to the adventurers who seek exciting lands and battles against the world. We also welcome blacksmiths and other productive classes to be exclusive workers in our facilities."
"I see."
Kyoya was pleasantly surprised by the adventurer guilds in the Grooma Kingdom. At least on the outside, they seemed to be the force that is not selfish and greedy to oppose the kingdom. They are working together and keep innocent out of the unnecessary conflicts.
It has to be said, but there are a lot of people with common origins on each floor. In the past, it was fine for them to keep living as they were immortal. If someone bad happened, then they had to survive and wait for help.
Who would want to be the king of a kingdom consisted only of the strongest? The kingdom that solely focuses on war-related facilities also needs commoners to keep up with the production.
But who would like to live in such a place? People would run away to the lower floors or maybe even step outside the world pillar! Such kingdom wouldn't even have charm and its residents likewise wouldn't fight and train to protect it.
It was a little worse after immortality had been lost. The people were still protected by each kingdom, but it was no longer that colorful. The guardian favored kingdoms had it the best on each floor.
And many weren't willing to just leave their home grounds.
Unless one wanted to become an adventurer.
"Killing people for fun is something I hate. If someone's plan consisted of genocide of innocent, then I would personally move as well."
"I believe in you, Mr. Kyoya. For now, your words are mere talk, but if you keep getting stronger, then I am sure you will meet a lot of different people. This is where the world will see whether you can stay close to your point of view."
The lady behind the desk sweetly smiled, then her heart stopped momentarily. It was as if unknown coldness swept through her body for a second! It disappeared in the next second, but an aftereffect thoroughly froze the lady.
"Miss? Are you okay?"
"Ah… I am okay, please forgive me."
"No, no. It's okay. Such a workload can affect even the most hardworking people."
"Yes, you are right, Mr. Kyoya…"
Continuing her work, the lady spoke about the dangers stemming out from being the adventurer. The residents of the floors aren't the only ones, but the adventurers themselves. It is not only limited to the other guilds but even the one from the Grooma Kingdom.
The lady took a liking to Kyoya's words soaked in a genuine tone. She could tell that he was a good and charming man, but this is the trickster god's divine energy chiming in. His voice was convincing, even though the lady's words seemed to be a little skeptical about Kyoya's belief.
Naturally, Kyoya became different in her eyes, and then the coldness swept that away.
"Then, Mr. Kyoya and Miss Xaya… This is the plate where you should imbue your energy."
Humans are adaptive, so Kyoya can have a lot of energy within his body. It is not wise, but still. So the lady went in round away when it came to him. As for Xaya, she ignored as 'Wolf' race didn't really tell much.
It's not like adventurers have to state their origins. As for power, the evaluation was needed because the adventurer guild can be also the one to propose the missions. This is only when one reaches enough fame, however.
Furthermore, it is great to know one's strengths!
"Miss, I have 4F B Rank…"
"Fourth floor, B Rank… Mr. Kyoya is already close to going to the fifth-floor strength wise! If you achieve enough achievements, then you should be able to go to the fifth floor soon."
"Achievements… I have read about it…"
Kyoya wrote down that he is from the 4th floor to avoid misunderstandings. It was the proper choice for now as he realized his mistake. Or more like realizing it, Kyoya just ignored that. However, going in between the floors is not only strength-based. The missions help in that, that's for sure.
But even tickets have some time limit formed by divine energy.
Kyoya could go to the fourth floor after getting 60 level because of Anoke. This was the powerful goblin that was close to being a guardian. He was the threat to the floor that issued a lot of missions and adventurers!
He is a great achievement in itself!
And so, Kyoya and Xaya could go to the fourth floor with ease.
A new system is surely interesting!
"Husband, I am 4F SS Rank! But what is this bullshit? You told me only S rank is in the new system! There is also a percentage next to SS!"
"SS?!"
The lady behind the desk shouted from disbelief! The SS Rank is unusual as it was in the old system. However, the gods hadn't erased the SS and SSS rank from the system but reserved it for the adventurers and nobles whose path had been settled.
When one reaches SS, then one is close on the destined and truly desired path. When one hits SSS, then one has already stepped on the fated path which should be fulfilling and the most proficient for the adventurer.
"Bullshit! I am my husband's greatest support, the best path I could've dreamed off of! If you dare to say otherwise, then prepare for demise!"
"Please, don't threaten me. This is how it is for everyone!"
"I see, so you have chosen death."
"Calm down, Xaya!"
The husband was speaking so nicely about innocent yet his wife already kicked the ground to pounce at the poor lady behind the desk! How could he show his face here if Xaya truly killed the lady?
He luckily enough reacted in time and stopped Xaya from reaching her prey. Her low strength contributed a lot here!
