One month passed.
It was not a long ti in the world where years passed way faster than the earth. The husband just did two things during this month! The first one was the kitchen project… He properly hunted all fire beasts and completed the project, leaving his wife satisfied within it.
It was also nice to see her designed kitchen coming true.
The second thing was obviously the pathway to other continents. Kyoya helped Yue to deal with this and both of them began to prepare for so business. This had to be the secret business for now as Yuyu Kingdom was wounded during the ice invader's raid. They couldn't properly announce that they had a way to freely move through continents.
It was just dangerous, but secret deals were likewise not that safe.
Nonetheless, Kyoya has been enjoying the new continents much with his party and all of them went on dates throughout this month. Xaya had the most 'solo dates', but it was no more surprise to see her invite Xiaoxiao and have them three enjoy so ti.
Right now, the three of them were on a date within the water kingdom, a new continent.
It seed like water was always on the move within this continent, not only around the ground but also the air. In such a continent that was always in a festival mood, Kyoya and his two won got closer and enjoyed this ti greatly.
"You look familiar."
"?"
"Yes, you."
An unknown old man suddenly called out Xiaoxiao. She was in a cheerful mood, her smile the sweetest. One could see a pendant on her neck which shone brightly with beautiful orange light.
The present from the husband was always on her body and while Xiaoxiao's mood surely could get better, nothing seed to possibly worse this pleasant ti with Kyoya and Xaya close to her.
"One year ago… I saw a young lady that looked similar to you… You should be careful."
An unknown man's warning sounded weird, but he was also serious. This made Xiaoxiao's expression to likewise get serious, her eyes deeply looking at the man.
Of course, no one could mistake such a gaze.
Xiaoxiao was asking the man what he ant… And his words already gave Xiaoxiao an idea as to who he ant. Her heart began to race a little, then he finally parted his lips.
"She had black hair and blue eyes that shone even more than that pendant… Though her mood was totally opposite to yours."
"Was she sad?"
"She probably was… I could tell that she was the water lord's believer, but the water seed to no longer listen to her. It went on rampage on her every step and so she caused a ruckus in our kingdom."
"D-do you know her… na? Did she-"
"I didn't even dare to co closer."
An unknown man was one of the rchants here. He had his small booth on the street and looked exhausted with life, so not many people ca closer to see his goods. But his knowledge and mory was as good as ever.
He surely was a good rchant in his pri as the expression and the way he recited the past exactly conveyed what happened and how he felt back then.
The black haired woman with blue oceanic eyes nearly destroyed the kingdom with her arrival. The always ongoing water streaks turned vicious and flooded the streets and even reached the castle!
The whole incident was so unexpected and shocking that no one could stop it except the lady.
"She was looking for sothing. It's safe to assu that she didn't find what was on her mind and left… I am sure her flood was enough to get achievent to the upper floor…"
"Thank you for telling …"
It was surely the destiny helping Xiaoxiao. She clenched her hands and thanked the rchant that reached out to her to warn her. He reminded her about it on the spot.
"If she was your family, then you have to speed up your climbing… But I told you this as a warning. You resemble that woman, so be careful."
"Thank you. How can I repay you?"
"Hehe. You already did. I have never seen a more srizing smile than yours. It made feel better in this shitty life."
"Um…"
"I am not as lucky as the man next to you. Haha! I wish you good luck."
Kyoya also thanked the man and took Xiaoxiao back to his house that was on the kingdom's outskirts. He never would expect that Xiaoxiao's sister would cause so much ruckus here, but his second woman was sure that it was done against her will.
To keep her sister's image clear, but also to make her heart lighter, Xiaoxiao told what lingered on her mind.
"My sister was talented… I was the opposite so there is no way for her to be a 19th floor adventurer after so many years."
"That's true."
Xiaoxiao and her sister were of the sa age, but the difference was huge in their strength level. When Xiaoxiao struggled as an adventurer, her sister had great support of people around her and her talent. Both of them were no longer the sa as the ti changed them greatly.
Of course, without that talent there was no way for Xiaoxiao's sister to have so much support. Though Xiaoxiao now had the husband's support, she was all about her sister.
"She must co here to find sothing to help her! I refuse to believe she lost control of her water… This can't be…"
The fact that Xiaoxiao's sister was alone also hurt Xiaoxiao. She fought her way to this floor to not be alone while believing that her sister was surrounded by people she could rely on. And now, it looked like her situation was far different.
"Xiaoxiao… It's been more than one year after this incident, so we can only believe in your sister now."
"..."
"Let's see… The 19th floor stands out due to its irregular concept…"
Once Kyoya returned to the house, he took Xiaoxiao to his room and put her on the bed. The husband's arm pulled Xiaoxiao closer and he began to genuinely help her. The first thing that Kyoya told was obviously the fact that a lot of ti passed after the incident.
Xiaoxiao's sister was also a grown-up woman already, not the adventurer or villager that barely knew how the world works. As Xiaoxiao spent ti as an adventurer, her sister surely learned about the harsh world in her own way! Xiaoxiao could only believe in her right now.
Then, he spoke about the clue he found within the man's words!
"A control of water flow is the main concept here. But there is also the irregular concept. If your sister looked for these, then we can assu she learned the wrong concept or her talent just didn't suit the lord she believes in. If she wants to change her concept or water techniques, then this is our clue. Let's look out for power or treasure that can achieve sothing similar after we return to the Grooma Kingdom."
Overwheld by the husband's quick judgent and genuine feelings, Xiaoxiao just hid her face within his scarf. This scarf was the present she and Xaya have made for the husband on their stay here.
Of course, it suited the ladies the best. It was warm and made the husband's back more comfy, but it was also long and so it could pull Xiaoxiao closer to the husband. Now, she wrapped the scarf around her face and glued herself to the husband in a way the scarf was invented for.
It didn't take long for Kyoya's hand to fall on her orange hair. He stroked her gently until Xiaoxiao's emotions subdued.
"I should be happy that I found the clue."
"That too. But it's fine to be worried for your sister."
"Yes, but I can't worry too much and I should just believe in her."
"If you feel like thinking about your sister, then do it within this scarf."
Kyoya's smile made things better and Xiaoxiao did as he said. She just thought a little more, but calmly about her sister, then her eyelids got too heavy from all the coziness. Xiaoxiao fell asleep and left the husband alone.
"I hope Miss Xinxin also has soone to lie on."
