Chapter 73 - A Husband And Yandere Wife's Portable House Gets Upgraded By The Divine Demon's Belief.
"We can actually try to boost our house right now."
"Yes, husband!"
Xaya let go of her husband's neck, then quickly and silently took the position next to him. Everything was happening so fast that Xiaoxiao couldn't understand what was going on? Why were they suddenly speaking of the house when she came here to deliver acquired items and medicines?
However, when the portable house appeared out of nowhere, Xiaoxiao's jaw struck the ground! She even took a step backward just from the shock alone… It was just too much…
"You aren't adventurers… You are weirdos!"
"That's kinda rude, but I agree with you, Xiaoxiao."
The husband agrees! If that's the case, then a yandere wife can only nod along with him! The couple smiled into each other's eyes, then looked at the portable house. It was small, at least three meters tall. Its width was also lacking and a bed was taking most of the space. There weren't any other rooms as well so truly a lot was lacking in the portable house of the 'weirdo couple.
Regardless of that, isn't it awesome?
"So that's why you don't need sleeping bags… But this is… Wow."
It is awesome.
If it wasn't then full of energy Xiaoxiao wouldn't be frozen with her widened lips. She turned her eyes to Kyoya, then with beautiful glitter in her pupils, Xiaoxiao asked for more! The couple had said something about upgrading the house!
Upgrade!
"That's what we are going to do! Let's see what kind of belief is hiding in that wood!"
Kyoya knew the options of his portable house very well. The way to increase its size and defenses was to just add better materials. Currently, the woodman title was the one best title to gather the materials!
Of course, a visit to the Grooma Kingdom can also turn out to be fruitful, but that's if one has money… The husband couldn't really do that for now. Nonetheless, he was satisfied with the current material.
[Portable Wooden House! Lv. 4F Durability: 2000/2000
Physical Defense: 5000/5000 Magical Defense: 500/500
- The house can currently store only two people inside.
- More people inside will result in house destruction.
- To raise its size and defenses...]
The latest options were still here. Only the couple could be within the house and it would result in destruction if someone else entered without the couple's consent. However, the new wood already showed off how good it is.
"Just look at this physical defense!"
"I see, husband!"
"Where? How can you see it? Ah, it is a bummer."
Poor Xiaoxiao couldn't see anything, but from the elated face of Xaya and smirking Kyoya, she could tell that the physical defense was outstanding! The appearance of the house also magically changed.
It was now similar to the dungeon's trees. It was a pale grey house out of wood whose whole form exuded some blueish light from time to time. The size also increased a little and more stuff could be taken inside.
"Let's put all the equipment here. Xaya, I want to invite Xiaoxiao inside."
"...Yes, husband."
"Come in, Xiaoxiao."
"Thank you for the invitation."
Within the house, Kyoya asked Xiaoxiao to distribute the items between her and Xaya as what belongs to him belongs to the lady and vice versa. He himself went to change his wet shirt from the sweat while glancing at the belief stored up within the house.
[Divine Demon Regnar's belief has been stored within your portable house!]
Some gods are known to be vicious and merciless. Their sacrifices usually require the flesh of the humans or any other items related to the misfortune… They are really evil and shred.
There are also other divine beings who don't call themselves gods yet they work in a similar system. Those are commonly the ones that want to revolt against the current system and set up the things free.
Once the things would be set up free, such individuals would probably lay down their foundations around… But how can the system of the gods be so easily thrown around? Even the death god follows the rules of his divinity!
So before they actually achieve their goals, the divine demons and other similar pals penetrate the lesser world systems and so on. The world without evil is not a world as there is no balance.
Such things also apply to the upper realms!
"His belief strengthens our house's physical defenses so much!"
Kyoya was aware that the upper realms are way bigger, so he casually accepted the existence of such a being, then went to the details of his stored belief. He no longer thought it was a miracle or so that his house and items can actually store up such belief...
From what he read in his game system window, Kyoya knew that the stored belief is permanent. Even if he leaves the dungeon, the house won't revert to its former state. Then, the husband read about the defensive formation born out from that belief.
[Portable House - Demon Hardening
- One time skill that increases the physical defense of the portable house's thrice. The effects depend on the stored up belief.]
"Xaya, Xiaoxiao. We have to stay in this dungeon for a long time. Before the boss falls, I want to take out all its wood."
"Yes, husband! I will train the healing ability then!"
"If that's the case, then I will be on the guard… It sucks that we are low on numbers though."
"Thanks, Xiaoxiao. If you spot someone, then run to our house. This is our base now, the impregnable base. Believe me."
"I believe you."
Xiaoxiao gently smiled, then equipped the new equipment. She looked satisfied with that, then taking a few medicines with herself just in a case, the lady went onto the guard. Without her eyes on the couple, the two weirdos became closer.
Of course, as Kyoya thanked Xiaoxiao, his hand reached out for Xaya's black hair to stroke it not too roughly, not too nicely. Such treatment was what Xaya liked the most, her ears twitching in happiness.
"Husband, what's the plan?"
"There is a Demon Hardening skill in our house now."
"Demons? The divine ones? Not the messengers or envoys of the gods?"
"Yes, exactly those."
"Hmmm~~ The demons are known to be physically stronger because it's easier for them to store up their divine powers within their bodies! One of the filthy divine demons tried to contact me in the heavenly palace, disgusting filth!"
"Oh, what did he want?"
Hearing the question, Xaya rolled her eyes. In her mind, what else other than her body the divine demon would want? But of course, some things are desirable within Xaya's body for the demons.
It's not about her beauty only. The adaptation to the death divine energy and control of the souls - all of these can be achieved if one properly studies Xaya's body… And how demons study, that can be only left to one's imagination.
"If they come for you again, then my knife will be the object of his research in hell."
"Husband! Mmm~~ Do you want to look over the dropped equipment or me?"
"My conscience won't let me go if we actually did it now."
A lone adventurer is around keeping a guard, how could Kyoya do it with Xaya now? At worst, they would get exposed by Xiaoxiao coming back from the guard! If such a thing happened, then Kyoya wouldn't even be able to face the lady straight into her eyes.
And she is such an amiable and nice friend.
Ignoring 'the worst' Kyoya wouldn't even do it if he knew that no one is around in the vicinity. He smiled at his wife fiddling with his shirt, then continued the former talk about the demon's hardening skill.
"We have 5000 physical defenses. This is thanks to the belief stored… This belief goes away together with the damage inflicted on our house, but with enough wood, we can keep repairing the house in emergency cases. If this option is unavailable, then at least refilling the belief should be possible."
And if this proves to be unavailable, then Kyoya and Xaya will have the unique pieces of wood stored in their house for future upgrades.
"Our house is currently at the limit. It grows together with our levels, for now, so let's focus on that, Xaya."
"But it will be the second night without any love, husband…"
The husband's conscience got attacked yet again! He trembled and even got saddened by Xaya's quiet murmurings… Of course, his wife's beauty requires him to keep doing his duties every day, but there are also other duties.
If that's the case!
"Thanks to that half-blood orc, I know what kind of souls have the stamina bonus. I will focus on those, and our night will last till I lose every drop!"
"Husband!"
"If the sun peeks, then we will ignore the sun!"
"Ignore the sun, husband!"
Cough! Cough!
"I will go outside now to gather the wood."
Slightly embarrassed, the husband left the house under the shining eyes of his yandere wife whose face was all with butterflies and smirks. Her eyes also had some small hearts inside which was rather lovely… until… her beauty proves to be demanding.
In such a mood, Xaya opened up the book. The page flipped and with her goals ignited by the recent events and love, Xaya found out that her eyes could discern more things on the pages. It was as if the blank spots got filled with the unknown letters that explained some additional stuff.
For her husband and their adventures, the yandere wife turned serious, but her eyes still held the beautiful hearts within.
