YM778.TV Chapter 289 - The Serious Husband Offers His Services
"The husband, are you going outside?"
"Yes."
"I want to go with you."
"Come."
A few days passed after Kyoya and his party entered the bottomless pit.
They were all left alone in the abandoned city with just a few people passing their current house occasionally.
However, this underground was an accumulation of various energies and every party member could feel their respective energies trembling within. It was like their own energies were reaching out toward it.
That was why no one wasted this encounter and practiced their moves as closely as possible to the orbs.
On the other hand, Kyoya and Xaya went outside to search for the fox daughter.
"So that\'s the husband\'s goal."
"Haha, yeah. If she by any chance works with Venes too, then we know why no one was able to find her. Let\'s go and sneak into the green orb\'s room."
"Yes, the husband!"
No matter what it was, Xaya was willing to follow her husband. The more cliche words would be her willing to follow the husband straight to hell!
It was risky to sneak into the green orb\'s room which would be like heaven for the fox and other races from Naranaska Kingdom, but Kyoya had nothing to lose.
If anything, then the husband would honestly share his quest with Venes.
Regardless, Kyoya was the future trickster god and he had enough abilities to deceive and trick others. Using the combination of his avatar and speed, Kyoya quickly entered the room while carrying his wife like a princess.
Soon, their eyes landed on a woman that was clearly Olivia.
It was this easy, but would anyone be able to enter this room like that?
"Miss Olivia?"
"Who?"
"Please, don\'t shout. I am here as per your father\'s mission."
Kyoya put his wife on the ground, allowed her to properly stand next to him, then took out his business card which surprised Olivia.
Her serious face turned a little weird as she read the card\'s content.
"Am I a customer?"
"Yes. I am Kyoya and I would like to bring you back to the Naranaska Kingdom after you deal with this floor\'s matters. I am proud to share that we entered this place thanks to my party members being unique enough to get noticed by Venes. We are here freely and ready to leave once the whole matter ends."
"That\'s good to hear. I don\'t mind leaving with you, but why do you sound so serious?"
Even the serious Olivia couldn\'t stop herself from being a little weirded out by the husband\'s too formal speech. He also held his hand close to his chest and used his concepts to sound as serious as possible.
He was convincing and Olivia immediately agreed to return with him without asking about his \'reward\' for her \'rescue\' quest.
Nonetheless, the husband being so serious somewhat intrigued her. She glanced at him with her big fox eyes and basically demanded an answer. It went without saying that Olivia just went against her own disposition and acted a little too cute.
"I am sorry, but I do not understand."
The husband withstood the charm! The lady was indeed cute and as she leaned down a little, his eyes nearly went down with her! She was wearing traditional robes from Naranaska Kingdom which were bold outfits for the ladies.
It exposed the woman\'s cleavage and hips. The fox women also didn\'t wear any shoes, their feet bare stomping on the ground.
"Why would I be so serious? It\'s because rescuing you is my important mission. I will do everything in my power to bring you back home without you getting affected by this adventure."
"I see, but you can lighten up…"
"I am sorry, but if I am not serious with my clients, then how will others perceive me?"
"The husband, you sound too stupid."
"The husband?"
Kyoya opened his mouth widely as Olivia repeated Xaya\'s words. He felt like all his hard work just got wasted by his wife\'s \'stupid\' comment. If not Olivia looking at him with confusion, the husband would be already shouting at his wife and probably nagging too.
However, Xaya also didn\'t miss this confusion on woman\'s eyes.
She spoke, "The husband is my husband. What do you not understand?"
Olivia blinked her eyes, then shook her head with confusion. Indeed, what did she not understand? Did she not know what \'the husband\' means? She questioned herself at the weirdness of this whole situation, then stood up and bowed before the couple.
She failed to understand what was going on, but she acted rude before the couple, so proper apologies had to be done.
As the patriarch\'s daughter, there was no flaw in Olivia\'s bow. The husband tried to not look, bue he looked and found no flaws at all. He could confirm it with just one glance and quickly spoke to make Olivia raise her upper body.
"Let me stay like that just for a little more. I also want to calm down myself."
\'I am not getting any calm soon, though.\'
"You have good manners, Keep it up."
Xaya commented in the husband\'s lack of response. Even though he responded inwardly, Kyoya was glad that Xaya was with him and that she managed to keep her head cool. She looked like a good and proper wife too to which he hugged her later.
With his arm around Xaya\'s waist, the husband continued the talk with a calmer heart.
"Miss Olivia. So you have been found by Venes?"
"No. The truth is that I came here because I heard the voice."
"The voice?"
"An unknown voice from the bottomless pit… This voice called me in foreign language, but I could feel its emotions… It felt sad and limited… I just felt like checking this as no one has ever made me feel this way."
Olivia shared that she got later checked by Venes and it turned out that she could become one of the people to fuel the orbs. She entered this place and made a small research, but it would be weird for her to pass such opportunity which was the orb fueling.
That was why Olivia had no time to actually find this voice, but maybe after the other sides opens the questions will be answered.
"Maybe this voice comes from the other side? Honestly, what can be hidden in this 23rd floor?"
"I don\'t know, the husband."
"I can\'t tell either. It\'s just the 23rd floor, but we have such a figure here and more questions than answers."
As Olivia spoke those words, even Xaya nodded as she also had questions on her own. The situation was weird, but it was unlikely for Venes to stay here for too long, so everyone expected things to get unveiled soon.
