Chapter 121: A husband sounds reliable and confident!

Xiaoxiao was totally on fire!

It was evident that her concepts became stronger with her techniques just from the spear alone! The whole flame spear was held by her little hand as she thrust it forth. Her complete equipment was also worthy of a 15th-floor adventurer.

Her teammates were also one of the closest friends she got. They were supporting her back and also aimed to protect the village close to the monsters here. All of them were here due to the pyromaniac mission, but per Xiaoxiao's request, they roamed throughout the poor villages to help and check on them.

It was so Xiaoxiao-like that Kyoya just smiled.

His eyes then continued to watch her battle. He was entirely focused just on her alone that the words of Xaya and his party didn't even enter his mind.

Kyoya looked at the concepts of Xiaoxiao. There was no way for anyone to call her 'Spear Candle' anymore, even though Kyoya felt like it was still a cute nickname. Her concept of calm fire spread through the whole spear and allowed her to inflict the might of the fire with every move.

The monsters around the village had their skin scorching and on fire!

Then, Xiaoxiao's spear went through the flesh. It was just a tip, but this spear candle's end burned so high that the steam already came off from the monster! The flashy red cracks spread around the tip, crawling its way out as if escaping from Xiaoxiao's might!

Then, these cracks just exploded with flames, wounding the monster severely.

It was another concept that Kyoya wasn't aware of, but how could he? He was just the adventurer who went on his own path! His friends weren't fire-related believers, too, so no way for him to know all of these.

But the spear candle title and the first concept he learned from Xiaoxiao were clearly within Kyoya's mind. Right now, Xiaoxiao could still call herself the spear candle as this candle was leading residents of this floor to the peace.

The battle of spear candle and her adventurer group ended relatively fast. It was thanks to Xiaoxiao and her potential unlocked by the game system. She was the lady who could get quests, see through concepts, and add stats regularly…

This was the reward of helping Kyoya adapt to the adventurer's life and teach him all the needed stuff so that he wouldn't be called weirdo! Besides, Xiaoxiao was always a supportive and cheerful lady, a good friend indeed.

That was why, after the battle ended, Kyoya used his game system.

[Kyoya: Hi, Xiaoxiao. It's a surprise for us to meet here.]

[Xiaoxiao: Kyoya! *Surprise* You are also here? *Shock* Oh, I see you! *Smile* *Wave* *Wave*]

This message was filled with so many emoticons that Kyoya just ended the chat. He looked forward to Xiaoxiao, then waved back at her, who was signaling everyone to come closer. Albeit it was strange for her to notice them so quickly, people saw Kyoya waving his hand back.

Either he met them before or was acquainted with the powerful lady.

That was understandable.

Everyone was thinking of Xiaoxiao as a powerful lady! There was no way for anyone even to think otherwise. As her concepts and flames were bright and strong like her orange hair and eyes, Xiaoxiao might be one of the essential adventurers to end the pyromaniac's rampage!

As for Kyoya, he was just happy for her being like that. Of course, he had a little different thought than everyone. It was because when Xiaoxiao was in the vicinity, the friend list showed her status as 'Online'. There was a green dot next to her name. It wasn't like Kyoya had never checked his friend list during his stay in the Grooma Kingdom.

But never in his free time, he managed to find Xiaoxiao and talk with her through this game system. Either she was on other floors for the whole year or maybe took the missions when Kyoya was absent. There could be many assumptions as aforementioned, but Kyoya was just elated to see her.

Soon, the huge group of adventurers sat down in the circle. The group consisted of more than twenty people!

It was time for an introduction.

-

"I am Kyoya."

The husband managed to speak with Xiaoxiao for a little and even hugged her on this small reunion, but the introduction was more crucial. They were dealing with unusual and strong pyromaniacs whose bodies probably have been using the powerful flames from external sources.

That was why Kyoya went straight to the introduction.

He introduced himself, his wife, and the party. Then, he spoke about the battle with pyromaniacs that happened in the battle for the second time. This news was only shocking for Xiaoxiao and her party, but it was crucial to remind everyone that they were dealing with more than one guy.

Many things led up the husband to find the suspiciousness within the mayor's words. He was feeling skeptical of the mayor himself from the beginning, but his wife also went 'Bleh', which sealed the nail.

He explained that the mayor was suspicious one from the very beginning, which was why he threw tokens to other adventurers after they tried to aim at his wife.

Kyoya accentuated the last part with a more resonant voice.

Of course, everyone was focused on the mission to get pyromaniac, but it would be a lie if someone said they didn't get mesmerized by Xaya! This was to avoid any stupid moves from the new acquaintances.

"We have been here for two weeks already."

"Our time here is more or less the same!"

Xiaoxiao added after the leader of the first party spoke.

His name was Lioe, and he was the leader of the party in steel like armors. They were red in color and ready to fight any fire believers! He was also the believer of the god related to the steel.

"Not a long time passed after you visited the mayor, and yet he attacked you first. This is weird."

"I think it was because we are by far the weakest 'looking' party in our group. Our numbers are also the lowest."

"Fair."

Lioe nodded immediately after Kyoya's words. It was a move that approved the husband as Kyoya directly spoke his thoughts out. His voice wasn't imbued with any shame or weakness; on the contrary, he emphasized the 'looking' yet again and spoke as if believing that his party was strong enough to take everyone here head-on.

Confidence and reliance on one's team were needed on this path. Kyoya was the leader of his party, and he took the things into his hands properly. This made him more credible, and everyone was willing to follow his plan.

Xiaoxiao then introduced herself together with her party.

Her mood just skyrocketed to unimaginable heights. She had been waiting for Kyoya and sometimes even searching for him to thank him for the 'game system'. It just made her path easier, stronger, and she felt like she could reach her dreams.

The years spent on the adventurer's life weren't wasted, and she could press forward! She wanted to thank him, but it was kind of hard with his party members around. The pyromaniac case was also here, and Xiaoxiao didn't wish just to say 'Thank you'.

That was why Xiaoxiao decided to postpone this and only engage in friendly conversations after the meeting. However, she suddenly remembered about the incoming festival in Quadr City. This festival will be filled with various delicacies with the residents of this floor preparing and selling those in a cheerful atmosphere. The lady felt like speaking with Kyoya in such a mood, and thanking him by inviting him here would be the best. She glanced at the husband speaking with the other party leader, then faintly smiled to herself.

'Would Xaya allow me to invite Kyoya?'

Xiaoxiao didn't want Xaya to come with him. Of course, a yandere wife opened herself to Xiaoxiao, learned some adventurer techniques, and spent time together when her husband was outside to get some wood.

But Xaya was really clingy and even weird at times with her love.

[Friendlist:

- Kyoya

Xaya]

There was 'a cheat' that Xiaoxiao could use to reach out to Xaya, but she was a little scared even with this game system. In a relationship, the loved ones have a lot to say, and if by this mistake, Xiaoxiao somehow ended up destroying their friendship, then it would be rather tragic and depressing for Xiaoxiao.

When Xiaoxiao was lost in thought, one of her close friends stood up. He gathered attention by doing so. He then turned his eyes to the two leaders of this group, then asked for a request.

It was a request that Kyoya was familiar with and rather expected someone else to say it out.

"If we are going to search for other parties, then on our path, let's visit other villages and cities to check on their situation. With such a group, we can easily take down a few monsters bothering this floor's residents. It will be like pocket money for us."

His name was Gumba, the party member of Xiaoxiao's team. Albeit it was clear for everyone that Xiaoxiao should be the leader due to her strength, this title was not something Xiaoxiao really liked, and most of the time, she consulted with Gumba, who was the previous party leader.

"Pocket money, huh. That's no problem."

"Yeah, we can help others with our strength."

Both Kyoya and Lioe agreed. When Gumba heard it, he thanked them then turned his eyes to Xiaoxiao. He looked down on her bright orange eyes, then smiled broadly. The way he looked at Xiaoxiao exposed his feelings, but the target of those was totally unaware of what was going on.

"We can continue to help others. With such a group, no one will get wounded. It's great, right?"

"It is great! Thank you, Gumba."

"You also would've asked for this, Xiaoxiao. No problem!"

He also wanted to invite Xiaoxiao to the festival after this pyromaniac's case.
