A few days passed relatively quickly.
These days mostly consisted of some light training and sightseeing as Quadr City had many things to offer. It was also rare for Kyoya's party to stay on the 15th, so they wanted to enjoy everything that this floor could offer.
The city also had unique visitors from the adventurer guild, but these people just passed through the mayor's house and then somehow confirmed his death. Afterwards, their goal was probably the family of this floor's guardian.
There were also other guards that could take the mayor's position, but it was far easier to just let the guardian's family deal with it. The same could be said about the adventurers. It was easier to notify the adventurer guild instead of going to the floor's guardian.
Nonetheless, Kyoya's party didn't bother with such news. They spent time in Quadr City going around shops and various blacksmiths to check up on the equipment! Their days were free of any worry.
Then, Lioe's party returned to the city as well.
They were good acquaintances and Kyoya felt like there was a possibility of them becoming more than acquaintances. As they came back, Lioe greeted Kyoya while the rest went either to rest by the tables or speak with Josef, his girlfriend and Xiaoxiao who were more approachable than the husband who had his wife sticking close to him.
Only their leader was bold enough, but he was the leader and regarded Kyoya well, so he took the risks.
As expected, the husband greeted him with a wide smile.
"Welcome back."
"We are back for the festival. Now, you really rented the whole inn…"
"Yeah, I have some saved money and it's not that expensive on the 15th floor as I thought."
"I guess so."
As the husband planned, so he did! They were currently in the inn that was so vast it could keep at least hundred guests. There were many wooden tables and chairs scattered around, but since it was the husband's place for now, everyone used most of these for their equipment and stuff bought from the city.
The same went for Lioe's party.
The inn was void of any unfamiliar people as the husband also planned Xaya to make some of her dishes for them during the festival. For now, he wanted her to become closer with others, but as she hugged his arm right now, Kyoya felt like it would be hard to convince her to just openly share stuff.
However, how could things change if he does nothing?
"It baffles me that they allowed you to keep such a place without anyone overlooking you."
It usually would be the owner working in the kitchen overlooking the guests, but they allowed Kyoya to keep this place for himself without anyone bothering them, so it was indeed a feat of the husband!
However, he just paid a little more and reassured with his Trickster God's convincing tone. He nodded to Lioe, however. Then, his eyes went around the place which was clean and fresh with its wooden furniture.
If the husband were someone rude and uncivil, then it wouldn't be so worth for the owner to rent the whole inn.
"Did you get something special out from the pyromaniac's belief?"
"Nothing much… It feels like we got stronger and I wouldn't usually complain, but this time, we needed like three parties to keep the pyromaniacs busy and their power was on totally another level yet we just got achievements."
"It sucks…"
Kyoya felt sorry for Lioe as he was a good leader who took everything into consideration on his mission yet his hard work just paid with common stuff. He didn't feel like bringing Xiaoxiao's cat now, but at some point, he would know about 'Akaro'.
Actually, Xiaoxiao was already engaged in heated conversation with Lioe's party members about her cat and how purry she was. This was bad, but the husband just let out a shallow laugh and changed the topic.
'It's all about origins.'
"Do you have any plans after the festival?"
"We will just go to our regular job."
Regular jobs were like missions, but these were free of any life-threatening situations. Of course, it was only on paper as everything could happen in the world pillar, but such jobs were usually with stable income and taken on slightly lower floors.
Such jobs were done to reset after a hard mission and just relax while still getting some income.
Lioe's party were the bodyguards on the 12th floor for one of the nobles. They were three floors stronger by their adventurer guild's evaluation and their real strength could exceed two floors, so they were pretty safe on the 12th floor.
Furthermore, they were always stationed within the main territories that had many formations sown around to keep people safe. It also didn't seem like Lioe's party would ever be asked to go to other territories or keep the noble safe in his meetings.
Surely, the steel armored leader spoke with the noble expertly.
[Kyoya(A weirdo husbando): I would like to ask a question.]
[Akaro(Goddess Fiana): Speak.]
[Kyoya(A weirdo husband): Can you tell what kind of god's belief is coursing through Lioe?]
[Akaro(Goddess Fiana): I can.]
The husband asked Goddess for help.
She was currently squeezed by Xiaoxiao's hands as she hugged her to show that Akaro wasn't an emotionless cat. The reason for that was simply the goddess' attitude. She always watched the surroundings and if not Xiaoxiao, then she herself wouldn't even move her body around.
And she only showed her emotions when Xiaoxiao did pet her.
This didn't mean that the satisfaction counter was increased as The Goddess was the tsundere.
[Kyoya(A weirdo husbando): I want to give him a card. This card makes others my disciples and allows others to use some of my game system. However, I want to give him a card that would use Trickster God's powers only. The one that would allow Lioe to see through others easier.]
[Akaro(Goddess Fiana): Playing with emotions is your forte, so this should be effortless for you.]
[Kyoya(A weirdo husbando): Yes, but from what I could tell, Lioe's good doesn't seem to pay any attention to him and his party, so I wanted to know if he would notice something. Since you are by my side, I don't have to risk and can just ask, right?]
[Akaro(Goddess Fiana): It would depend on his progress. If he is ignored by even disciples now, then it's fair for you to assume he would be ignored even after reaching higher floors. Just keep an eye on his progress.]
[Kyoya(A weirdo husbando): Keep an eye on the progress? I think I got a nice idea. What do you think about temporarily making him a disciple? I will try that.]
[Akaro(Goddess Fiana): Since you don't turn them into pure trickster god's disciples, it's fine for you. However, you should be aware of the leftovers or traces of your divine energy. I am not sure about your power, so there might be none of those. Even if his god checked the situation of this world pillar, he wouldn't do it meticulously, so with addition to your Trickster God's powers, it should be possible to blind the god.]
Kyoya nodded inwardly while seeing this, then left the short message to the goddess.
[Kyoya( A weirdo husbando): I see, thanks for your help! Have fun with Xiaoxiao! No need to hold back!]
[...]
In the meantime, Xiaoxiao raised her cat high. She was surrounded by Lioe's party members who were both men and women with many years of experience! Such people were already 'built' to live many more years than ordinary humans in the world pillar would live! They have used these years efficiently!
"Look! She is wagging her tail!"
""""Cute!""""
[Akaro(Goddess Fiana: Gross.I am not even wagging my tail.]
The husband didn't see this message as he already proceeded with his plans. He took the card and utilized the disciple system from the game system. Then, Kyoya did his best to make the card with aforementioned effects.
He also specifically thought about the 'temporary disciple' process. It would help Lioe with his tasks and would make him more liable to the emotions of others, but this concept would leave no traces whatsoever.
At least that was what the husband hoped for.
[Your Disciple System has acquired the 'Temporary Disciple' concept.]
"Oh! Nice!"
"Hmm? Why would you suddenly-"
Lioe had his attention shifted to the red cat as Kyoya faked that he wanted to speak with his wife. He used this time to speak with Goddess Fiana and also to make a card for him. This somewhat annoyed Xaya as she could swear some womanly presence on her husband, but couldn't really pinpoint the location!
She instantly thought that there was another god who spied on her husband like Ice Divine!
It was pretty scary how close Xaya was…
"This is a small present from me. You can treat it like a gift."
"Gift? And what's the occasion? We are already using your gift and now this… To be honest, I don't have anything good for a present."
"It's fine. I want you to keep it close as the sign of our friendship. You know I use cards for fighting, so treat it like a lucky charm."
Kyoya modified this card to the point where Lioe wouldn't be even aware that he was liable to the emotions! His eyes looked at this new friend who took the card, then Lioe's head suddenly turned around.
There was one of his female party members looking at him.
She was one of the first trustworthy friends. Both of them were pretty old, both as friends and adventurers!
"Haha~~"
"Ah, sorry. I just felt someone's eyes on me… and thought-"
"It's fine, fine. Let's eat something."
"Sure."
