There was no way for Kyoya to speak about the weakness he found in the pyromaniac's team because his party was just focused on the new feature, which was the friend list and chat.

They could chat with each other or in the group!

It was so nice and convenient, then after some time passed, both Josef and Maria were tapping the keyboard as if it was not a foreign entity for them at all. They were so engrossed in chatting and enjoying all the emoticons that Kyoya could only sit down on the chair to drink some tea.

His wife, Xaya, was also enjoying this as she spoke with Maria. They were tapping the keyboard like two mad women, probably sending some emoticons along with their messages… Those messages were all related to rather dangerous love!

At some point, Josef got inevitably forgotten by his girlfriend as she always liked to speak about love with Xaya! That was why his message reached Kyoya.

[Josef(First Friend and Disciple): Kyoya, so what was the weakness?]

Seeing this message, the husband's hand headed for the cup of tea; then, without minding Josef alone, he gulped it down slowly as if savoring every drop of this liquid. Then, he slowly put it back to the table.

Only after this slow and slightly irritating action did the husband answer the question… with another question!

[Kyoya(A weirdo husbando): What? You finally got interested?]

If Kyoya knew that Josef put a nickname 'A weirdo husband', how would he react? There were many potential ways for the husband actually to answer this, but luckily enough, the nicknames were private unless Kyoya truly decided to just peek into their system.

But there was no need, and Kyoya also valued the privacy of his friends.

That was why Josef didn't really get exposed!

[Josef(First Friend and Disciple): *Haha* It's not like the pyromaniacs would come at us so soon! Also, there were three of them, right? That was surprising! *Hehe* So what is their weakness?]

It seemed like Josef took a liking to laugh emoticons, which was not that disturbing compared to Xiaoxiao's cases where she literally used emoticons on every possible word. The husband took another sip, this time faster, then tapped on the keyboard.

[Kyoya(A weirdo husbando): I think they use external sources to light up their bodies. This would mean that there is a powerful dungeon or inheritance born from the divine blessing.]

This made Josef go wide. He realized that this might be really the case as their flames were too strong and unique for 15th-floor residents. Even if someone could go against stronger opponents, it would be unlikely for such a person to reach such a level this fast.

Of course, they couldn't exude the chance of someone being this strong to reach such a level. However, Kyoya was sure that they were using the external source. His eyes and keen senses couldn't be underestimated!

He was sure that the man's own flames were weaker and actually suited someone from this floor power-wise. That was why the husband decided to aim for the adventurers with tokens.

[Kyoya(A weirdo husbando): We should gather the adventurers in one place, then search for the potential land with this source. If we don't replace anything, then our goal should be to check the mayor's house.]

[Josef(First Friend and Disciple): *Uhhh* The mayor's house won't be the easy target! I think only you with your speed will be able actually to search through his house if necessary. Otherwise, he will just gather all guards from his city, and that would be the worst-case for us. He even might be able to use our questioning in his favor to frame us!]

[Kyoya(A weirdo husbando): Frame us? That won't happen. There has to be a goal for him to attack us too.]

It was a rather nice contrast.

The two men were sitting by the table; the silence was shrouding their bodies as they wore serious faces. And yet, just not too far away from them, Xaya was sitting on her bed with Maria close to her on the chair chatting about some yandere topics which would scare the two men way more than the pyromaniacs!

The night passed in such a mood, then each couple went to sleep with the ladies hugging tightly.

-

A beautiful forest lost the most unique visitors relatively quickly.

Kyoya and his party left the land to search the adventurers who were working for the mayor as well. It won't be really hard thanks to the mayor himself, who told them about red tokens and areas where others operate.

Thanks to the minimap from the game system, Kyoya and the rest had undoubtedly an advantage here. First, they just had to blend the map from the external sources to their game system, then go around and visit the lands with their eyes.

This would make the map update regularly and mend the losses. This way, the perfect map of the vicinity on the 15th floor was building itself!

"Wouldn't it be better just for us to search for an external source?"

"We don't know the usage of these pills, Xaya. Also, we can replace it easier with more people. I will use one of my cards to spy on each party."

"Your treasure is extraordinary, Kyoya. I hate the fact that you hide your belief, though."

"Maria… It was not nice."

"Ah... It just slipped out…"

"It's fine. This topic is really sensitive for us, so just believe in me."

Kyoya's convincing tone of Trickster God's appeased the heart of Maria and Josef. Though the girlfriend was only cautious as usual, which was reassuring as even the husband himself felt like Josef might believe others too easily.

He didn't know that there was a rather deep connection between them.

However, the husband's cards are going to be useful! He was ready to temporarily gather more disciples, and depending on how the situation resolves; he might keep those disciples close in his disciple system.

The control over the disciple system and its features were way too convenient for Kyoya.

"There are two volcanoes in the vicinity."

Josef then spoke with his hand on the chin. His eyes were looking deeply on the map, and just like the rest, he assumed that if there had to be an external source, then it would be in one of those volcanoes, maybe both of them were the same.

This was also on Kyoya's mind, so he nodded to him and spoke after smiling widely.

"We will claim one of the volcanoes for ourselves."

"Haha! Yeah, we are the ones with the clear plan in mind, so no way they can argue with us!"

"Husband, husband! There is filth ahead of us!"

"Oh, that's the adventurers we have been looking for."

As Kyoya looked in the direction Xaya's finger was pointing at, his eyes dilated a little as he searched for the red tokens. Just a few seconds and the husband spotted the red tokens on the adventurer's party's breastplates.

These people were clad in clothes ready to fight against any fire believer and monster! The plate armors might seem like a stupid choice, but the deep red steel around their bodies was one of the best available counters against the fire around floors of this level.

Kitted out in such knight-like equipment, these adventurers could easily get enough achievements when it came to the fire itself. And there was no lack of fire in most of the floors, so if they truly focused on cleaning the lands or conquering those with such equipment, then their path to the twenty floor wouldn't be that hard at all. Of course, that was only when it came to the equipment. This was one of the many aspects when it came to the adventurers and people that fight and seek strength.

One couldn't really rely only on the equipment.

"Who are you?"

They were currently resting after the battle, so when Kyoya's party approached them closer, the leader stood up and asked with vigilance flashing in his eyes. The same went for others, except they still sat down on the ground.

"My name is Kyoya, and as you see, I am also here to get rid of the pyromaniac with my party. We had an encounter with them and want to share the information. Not only that, but I believe we also have to team-up."

"Them?"

The leader only glanced once at everyone in Kyoya's party, which already won some favor for him! He wasn't the person pushed by the lust; at least that was how it looked. He also went straight to the most crucial point, which was 'them'.

"Yes, there are three pyromaniacs."

Kyoya used his trickster god's voice to convince the party. He was also speaking the truth, so this helped him here. He was not tricking, but the power of his divine path clearly swayed the emotions of theirs.

The husband managed to convince the party to join them; then, they began searching for others with the bigger group. Of course, the husband didn't speak about the important 'external source' yet, and the cards had to be passed as well!

Then, his eyes went wide.

It was because Kyoya spotted a familiar figure.

It was Xiaoxiao with her spear fully inflamed! She was not only looking stronger but also had people that she could rely on around them wholeheartedly. The lady has gotten much stronger thanks to Kyoya's game system, which, in her case, was one of the best. Her concepts were stronger and utilized better; then, her potential was simply unlocked! Now, she stood at the front and did her best to replace the pyromaniac.

From the way she fought, it was clear that the goal was to protect people who might become this dangerous fire believer's victims! The fact that it might be useful for her was secondary!

Kyoya could feel it just from the way she used her spear, as well as from the location which was close to one of the villages around. With such sweet emotions awakened inside him, the husband decided to approach his friend!
