Hitman x Wives Chapter 202 202- Idle Night

Chapter 202 Chapter 202- Idle Night

A few days later, Kai was walking back to Eva's house when he noticed a huge poster in the city.

The poster had a bearded man with red clothes on it. Seeing that, he realized what time of the year it was.

'The New Years.' He thought to himself. 'It's that time of the year already, huh?'

To think that another year quickly pa.s.sed was truly a weird sensation for Kai. It has been exactly 6 years since he left the Guild and that fact alone made him realize how fast time was moving. Just a mere year ago, he didn't know who Kaya was and didn't get in contact with Eva.

Now, both of them have become an essential part of his life that he doesn't hate at all. In fact, he was certain that if anything was to try and ruin that for him, he would stop it with all his power.

Eva and Kaya had already occupied a place in his life he thought he closed forever and that fact alone is quite astonishing.

'Maybe…' Thoughtfully considering it, Kai continued his journey to Eva's house. An idea was slowly developing in his head.

Walking through the main door, he was greeted by a huge shadow that suddenly loomed on him.

"Meow!!"

A gigantic cat suddenly jumped on him and started licking him happily while purring.

"Stop, Miyu." Pushing the greedy cat slightly, Kai stood up and wiped his face. This girl was always very enthusiastic when seeing him especially lately when she couldn't see him at all.

With her huge size, she can't really leave the house at all or she will catch attention. That was mainly why Kai spent a lot of time here, to keep company to this mysterious, oversized cat.

"Did you discover anything else about your powers, Miyu?" Kai asked as he sat down Miyu rolled in front of him, knocking everything around her.

"Meow!"

The pet shook her head as she continued playing and teasing Kai with her paws.

"I see…"

'I wonder if she needs more Origin to be able to unlock something else.' He thought to himself.

Kai was planning to bring her somewhere with a high density of Origin like a dessert and see how she would behave.

Miyu was powerful, very powerful in fact and all it took her to get that power was a month of absorbing volcanic Origin. Perhaps if he kept feeding her Origin, she would become a force of nature that everyone would have to fear. But, at the same time, she will be an ally that Kai can rely on when he needs it.

"I'm back." As he was playing with Miyu, Eva finally came back as she greeted her maid. "Oh, Kai is already here?"

Then, he heard rushed steps to the living room before Eva jumped on him. Something about this scene gave him a deja vu.

"h.e.l.lo~," She said happily as she planted a kiss on his cheek.

After their kiss the other time, Eva started feeling more and more daring to give him a kiss here and there. But, she still couldn't give him an actual, lips-to-lips kiss. Her shyness was too much.

"Fuuuh, now I feel warmer. You're my personal blanket now. Hehe." Eva joked as she rubbed her face against Kai's face.

"Your house is warm."

"Yeah, but I want more warmth~," She said.

"Meow!" Miyu seemed to feel jealous as she also jumped on Kai.

"Hey! Wait, Miyu! You're crushing us!" Eva begged as she felt tons of weight crushing down on her.

The three wrestled around on the couch, almost destroying it because of the pressure. Eva's giggles and Miyu's cute sounds echoed in the whole house. This has become a common occurrence in the place and it made the workers rather weirded out but also happy for their young mistress that she finally found her happiness.

Especially Mia, her maid. She had been with Eva ever since she was a toddler, she had taken care of her every need, raised her like a mother, and took care of her when her parents couldn't. Eva considered Mia to be her second mother and one of her closest people and Mia shared the same feelings for her.

So, when Mia saw Eva's life deteriorating after Kai left, it truly affected her greatly. Every day, she would see her flower of a mistress wither away slowly, petal by petal. Only she knew how much she had tried to make her feel better, to make her put a smile on her face again, that beautiful smile that she had been captivated by ever since she met Eva when she was a mere child.

'My lady had finally found happiness.' Tears welled up in Mia's eyes as she secretly watched them. 'I promise to protect this happiness of my lady with all my power!' She swore to herself.

A few hours later, Kai was finally able to leave the house, Kai sighed as he looked at the sky.

Crystal-white particles slowly descended from the darkness, covering the whole world in an ethereal color. It was snowing.

'Time to start preparing for the next step.'

Although Kai still had a few weeks before the test, he wanted to learn more about what the test was, who was going to do the test, how he could go up in the ranks faster, and things like that. And who was better to ask than the future Virtue of Divinity?

"Kaya, can we meet now?" He called her before he went to a certain place he had visited before.

The cafe where he went a few months ago for the festival became a place Kai frequented even when he was alone as it was calm, had good food, and had a good view in case he was to sit on the terrace.

There, he sat down in one of the booths and waited for Kaya to arrive. Since it was rather late at night, the cafe -now diner- was empty.

Suddenly, a sports car stopped in front of the cafe before a jaw-dropping beauty came out.

'You didn't have to make a flashy entry, idiot.' Kai sighed inwardly at Kaya's quirkiness sometimes.

Entering the cafe, she brought the attention of every worker there, men and women. They don't get people that beautiful that often after all.

Looking around, Kaya's eyes flashed with happiness when she saw her beloved before she walked toward him and gave him a tight hug. They could basically see hearts and flowers coming out of Kaya. It didn't take a genius to predict what kind of relationship they had.

The workers watched as the two sat down.

"Sigh, what kind of stuff did he do to get such a beauty?" One of the workers sighed.

"I don't know. But he sure is something else." Another murmured.

"I was intending to go to your apartement tomorrow after finishing some work. What's with the sudden invitation? Is this perhaps a date?" Kaya grinned.

"You can interpret it however you want."

"Hehe, then I will consider it a date." She smiled.

"Anyway, I'm here to talk about that matter."

Hearing his words, Kaya's playful expression faded and was replaced with a serious look.

"I already predicted you would want some information. So, I summarized everything you need to know in a doc.u.ment. I will send it tomorrow to your phone." Kaya said.

"I owe you one." Kai nodded his head with grat.i.tude.

"Hey, hey, you don't owe me anything. I'm just trying to repay a small amount of how much you gave me. This is nothing."

"I see…"

"Well, anyway, are you really sure you have to do this, Kai? If there is someone you want to meet, I can pull some connections for you."

"No, this is a matter that I have to do myself."

Not only did Kai want to do this anonymously to protect Kaya and Eva but also because he knew that he must face this problem himself. He had to end the matter with his own hands after all these years.

"I see… Well, I knew you would answer that way. To think my darling is going to become an Ascender. Hehe, we can finally be partners at work and in life. It's amazing to think of." Kaya murmured as she smiled.

Just imagining the two working together was like a dream for her. Granted, they had already worked together before to topple the hitman guild. But, that was a matter of life or death, she wanted them to work on something less dangerous. Like an exploration mission or something along those lines.

"Maybe. Who knows?" Kai murmured in response as the waiter finally got their order. Since it was night and he still hadn't eaten, Kai took the freedom to order for both of them. He knew what Kaya loved so he just ordered that for her.

"I hadn't eaten the whole day. When you're busy with work, food becomes secondary. Except when it's your food, that changes things."

"Don't get addicted to it."

"Oh, I'm already addicted to it, love. Perhaps I need rehab. Or, or, they should open a facility to rehabilitate people who try your food."

The two continued bantering and talking casually in the warm atmosphere. It was an idle night through and through.
