"So the na is Eternal Call? That sounds cool!"
"I know, right? I like the na too!"
Xiaoxiao was getting familiar with other party mbers. She talked briefly with Josef, but his girlfriend did sothing similar to Xaya and just chid in after settling herself on his back. She talked with Xiaoxiao in such a pose for a little, then left her boyfriend's back to talk with Xiaoxiao shoulder to shoulder.
Both of them were clenching their little hands and talking cheerfully like won. Then, Josef suddenly felt like cheering with them. He wanted to high five, but Maria looked at his hands.
"Treat your blisters first."
"How do you manage to avoid those, though?"
"Secret!"
As that was how the n were, Maria just glanced at her boyfriend's bigger hands, then slapped those away as there was still so dirt left. Both of them were close to the earth, but Maria always managed to avoid getting dirty.
If not, then her hands always were clean and shiny.
"Won have little hands, so that should be the part of the secret."
"Of course not, idiot."
"Haha, you two are a nice couple! Can I know the secret, though?"
Xiaoxiao chid in, then made Maria stupefied by raising her hands high. Of course, Xiaoxiao had the sa little hands like a woman, but blisters were on the sa level as Josef!
This made Maria's eyes go wide, and then she shook her head with disbelief.
"Xiaoxiao, you should care about your hands. Not as an adventurer, but as a woman!"
"Will you help ?"
"I will. After this idiot goes with the rest, we, won, will have our own ti!"
"Yes, thank you!"
And they cheered by high fiving with their both hands, which made Josef jealous. He was also angry at his girlfriend for calling him an idiot like that! It also felt like a casual, natural response!
"Ahh! Josef?!"
"Spinning punishnt!"
Thus, he wrapped his arms around Maria's waist, then raised her high. Then, his whole world began to spin around with Maria's hair following this vision. This made Xiaoxiao chuckle, then the sight of Lioe's adventurer party entered her vision.
Obviously, Kyoya's party was coming back to Quadr City after killing Cero and his people. After getting rid of them, the special space shattered like the thinnest glass so that nothing could stop them anymore except the exhaustion.
They were really exhausted, but showing it off would be unwise and careless.
However, their equipnt will be sold for a nice sum, and both Xiaoxiao and Kyoya developed the new abilities. Josef himself had so thoughts about his earth labyrinth, so there was also that.
Everyone progressed while facing such lustful and greedy adventurers.
"Hello! Thank you for your help!"
"Haha, it looks like sothing big happened on your side. We did our task flawlessly, by the way."
Upon coming back, Lioe realized that Xiaoxiao's party was nowhere to be seen around her. She was also in too good a mood, so the worry didn't envelop his heart at all. Then, after confirming that the surrounding villages were fine, Lioe asked what exactly happened.
"We got assaulted by greedy adventurers, but it's fine now."
"It is really fine. Not only did you get rid of unworthy 'friends', but you also beca a mber of a strong party."
Lioe flashed with his white teeth, seeming to be happy for Xiaoxiao. He then stretched his arms and neck during the walk. He saw the powerful fire tear falling from the sky, so he guessed that Xiaoxiao either lost control over her flas or the red cloud couldn't keep those flas up above.
After all, the flas were in pure red color, so these surely weren't the wicked flas of Fire Divine Demon.
"Eternal Call. Sounds dope."
"I know, right?!"
As the flas of longevity eternally burned atop the red cloud, Xiaoxiao purified the cloud on her own. Then, these flas sensed that Xiaoxiao was in danger, blessing her with the new ability.
The ga system also sensed this, so Xiaoxiao instantly grasped this and called the flas from the sky!
A powerful blast of flas slapped Cero's body rcilessly, then engulfed him wholly. Even his scales lted! Xiaoxiao's technique just brought up so many possibilities she herself couldn't contain her excitent.
Then, Xiaoxiao joined Kyoya's party. Though Josef and Maria were party mbers, she heard that they were also teaming up with others in the Grooma Kingdom, so Xiaoxiao already felt that her choice was right.
This just made her excitent reach the unknown to her heights.
"I think we all should visit shrines and temples."
Lioe then silenced Xiaoxiao's excitent a little.
It was because of the mission's end.
Upon the mission's completion, the belief itself would strengthen the believer's body. After all, the missions were issued with belief, so believers could advance by easily doing those while satisfying their gods. The missions also played a crucial role in their belief growth, but the pyromaniac's case could truly please everyone.
If it did not satisfy everyone already.
The pyromaniacs' case was just about belief and monetary gains so that the latter could be taken from the adventurer guild in the Grooma Kingdom.
"We might get special rewards from our Lords. If not, then we will just return to the city. I want to see that festival."
They were already feeling better, and this achievent could bring them closer to the next floor! The party was full of smiles and contentnt, so they easily agreed with Lioe's words. Soon, the vast and tall gates of Quadr City spread before their eyes.
"Yeah, we also should let the adventurer guild's take care of the mayor's case. This city needs a new one."
"Yep, another reason to go to the special floors."
So before the festival, Lioe and his party decided to go to their kingdom and adventurer guild. They looked deeply at everyone, then struck their steel armors with fists in unison. It was just a small parting before the festival, so Kyoya's party joked and similarly hit their chests.
"See you soon, guys."
""""See you.""""
Kyoya laughed, then faced everyone. They also could go to their adventurer guild for money, but this wouldn't run away from them. Besides, Josef and Maria's god doesn't even have a shrine, so they weren't in a hurry to go back to the special floor.
The sa was for Kyoya and Xaya, but Xiaoxiao was different.
"I will go to the shrine to check. I will boast about 'Eternal Call' to the goddess, hehe!"
"Maybe cool off your excitent a little before eting your goddess! Haha!"
"Then… Let's eat sothing?"
"Sure."
The party went to one of the inns for a good al. Xaya also didn't feel like cooking now, so she sat down next to her husband and looked over Xiaoxiao and him. Except for Xiaoxiao, the rest ate so cold food as no one felt like going for warm ones.
Xaya's eyes didn't look weird for others at all and sotis even caused her to engage in conversation with others. A yandere wife then spoke about her husband's plush toy that could hide in her breasts like a magical item.
"Husband's plush toy, I like."
"Ptttttttttttttt! Uegh!"
This made Josef spit his food; then, he got slapped hard by Maria.
If Josef didn't predict this slap, then his face would've ended up in his vomits, so he felt grateful and thankful for his experience. Then, he wiped everything that ca off from him off the table.
"I am sorry, I am sorry…"
"Let's end the al and go to the inn. Hmm, as a new mber, I can not really leave Xiaoxiao, though. How about I go with you to the shrine?"
"Really? You can go back to the inn with others."
"It's fine. I am the party leader."
Kyoya laughed, then looked at Xaya, whose chest was already swallowing up the plush toy as she hugged herself. She did not like this separation at all, but Kyoya used the wise words to make her believe in him, then send her off to the inn with Josef and Maria.
It was an excellent chance for Maria to have so ti with her big sister, so Josef was unluckily left alone, following them as a small distance separated him from his girlfriend.
"Filth."
"I apologized… Right?"
"When are you going to put the ring on her finger?"
"Ah, big sister!"
The distance between them just widened, but Josef quickly followed after with a slight blush on his face.
Then, Kyoya and Xiaoxiao reached the shrine.
Both of them were strolling with the red leaves wriggling amidst them. The shrine's atmosphere was unchanging, the sa as ever with positive vibes not only visible for the believers of Goddess Fiana.
"I will here."
"Yes, I will be back soon."
Just ten minutes passed, then Kyoya felt an unknown voice reaching him!
[Co to the shrine.]
It was the voice of a woman, but Kyoya felt like there was sothing else he couldn't properly describe. He instantly compared this sound to the Sixth Death God and Ice Divine, though. And because of the eting with these two, Kyoya knew that it was the goddess of Xiaoxiao calling him in.
No-one stopped Kyoya from going to the shrine as if the goddess already took the needed asures. Then, Kyoya saw Xiaoxiao with one knee on the ground, her eyes closed. She was probably speaking with Goddess Fiana right now.
However, her case was different to Kyoya.
While she heard only her voice, Kyoya himself felt like his mind drifted to the unknown world.
And here, he saw the goddess' with his eyes standing in front of him.
[You have gotten one point to charm stat.]
'Wait, so that's how I raise this stat? Ah, I should've asked Ice Divine for a small eting.'
[As expected, this is not your first eting with the god face to face.]
"Ah, yes. Hello. I am Kyoya. Lord Fiana is so beautiful, can I take a peek at you each ti I co to your shrines with Xiaoxiao?"
