Chapter 177 - Akaro Becomes The Husband's Goddess!
It was a dream about Xaya spending time casually in the city. Within this dream, Kyoya's current situation was reproduced, but he was just working outside! He wasn't an assassin here, but just a common worker.
His wife was also a common housewife and even had children, but Kyoya's dream couldn't really give him an image of a big happy family which was a blunder. Regardless of that, the husband saw a good dream and this awakened his Eidetic Memory concept.
As he woke up, Kyoya watched this dream again and the last moments of it when he reunited with Xaya who immediately showered him with thousands of love hearts and casual talks about what was going on in the city.
In the meantime, her body 'told' Kyoya how hard she missed him.
It was a heavenly dream for the husband!
'Ah, it's a matter of time, haha!'
Kyoya chuckled, then stood up.
He was currently in the assassin's camp with other disciples slowly awakening as well. As an unique individual, Kyoya had his cat with himself that was like a small heater to erase the cold nights within his sleeping bag.
Though the disciples weren't aware of Akaro's uniqueness, they were somewhat curious about the cat that could withstand such a special environment. It was obvious that this cat was not a normal cat and potentially a beast as Kyoya was always with her during training, so the possibility of Akaro being a partner was high.
An assassin with the beast partner sounded kinda strong and unique on its own.
Nonetheless, it would be rude to ask about it as they weren't particularly close. The one who could ask this question was the only lady that Kyoya has spoken the most during this training route, but she herself was against it.
"Time for breakfast. Would you like to eat something, Akaro?"
Since there was no answer from the goddess, Kyoya secretly took out the prepared sandwiches from his wife and chewed on it softly.
His today's plan was to focus on the Eidetic Memory concept after each spar with the assassin. Kyoya just awakened two concepts and he was ready to polish them up. Of course, the game system was a useful help here.
[Title: The Assassin Craft's disciple.]
This title was a tremendous help together with the stats and game system windows that grasped what Kyoya missed. This was the reason for Kyoya to be an unique person and something that he took a huge pride in.
If one ignored the reasons for Kyoya to create a game system, this power was something that truly stood out within this world, so the husband was indeed proud of himself.
After the meal ended, Kyoya took a spar with the assassin that explored more into the knife fighting. A new concept was likewise born during that spar.
"Enough for now. I will spar with you in six hours."
"Thank you."
Kyoya felt blessed by this 'master' and thanked wholeheartedly by giving a bow. He then got left alone by the assassin, so Kyoya as usual sat down on the ground to contemplate the current concepts.
This turned out to be a burden for his mind and body, so the husband took a break. He was yet again with Akaro alone in the camp.
"Shouldn't' the goddess be with Xiaoxiao right now?"
[Akaro(Goddess Fiana): No need. Xiaoxiao won't go on the dangerous mission without her party.]
In other words, Xiaoxiao wouldn't go on high floor missions without the husband! She was doing the regular work that at most would just stabilize her energies, so Akaro wasn't really needed here.
And satisfaction points could be raised by Kyoya too.
He was doing exactly this right now!
Thus, it was fine for Xiaoxiao to leave Akaro for a long time with the husband and she herself was doing her voluntary task of helping low floor villages with the monsters. She also satisfied her conscience in this way.
Xiaoxiao was kinda a weirdo, but Kyoya liked that side of hers. He was even willing to help her with this regular job, but the husband was busy with his current task! From what he knew, Noe was also with Xiaoxiao, so it was not like she was alone.
And now, Xaya also had Rosa with herself, so Kyoya was truly all-in with his training.
"Trees… We are on a special floor after all!"
However, Kyoya suddenly stood up in excitement. He was so focused on his current training that he forgot about the trees! This was time for him to gather some wood for his house and even strengthen it bountifully with the wood from the special floor, The Grooma Kingdom!
'I am so stupid! I should've done it from the very beginning!'
It was a particular chance for him to be outside the special floor, so Kyoya's self-blaming words were justified. He took out an axe from his inventory, then clenched it tightly. A moment later, the husband's axe struck the tree…
Clang!
And it shattered upon the contact!
"If it was so easy to gather this wood, then I would be too invincible… Damn it."
It was a bummer for the husband as he yet again felt a tad stupid. He scratched his neck in embarrassment, then decided to look around for more.
Even if the wood couldn't be taken, there were other resources that might turn valuable in the future.
"I might get some water. I wonder if there is any lake…"
[Akaro(Goddess Fiana): Do you want to gather wood? How about the assassin's bonfire and wood he uses around the camp?]
"Goddess! My Goddess!"
"..."
The cat's forehead got kissed yet again as Kyoya hugged the goddess with contentment! He then rushed back toward the camp and reached out for the branches prepared for the evening bonfire.
Those branches were indeed as he thought!
[The Grooma Kingdom's floor wood.]
[You lack knowledge to know more.]
[You can't use this wood right now!]
"It's okay! I should just focus on my strength and woodman title a little more. Later, I will be able to use it. Thank you, my goddess!"
Akaro became the husband's 'My Goddess' in the blink of time!
