Chương 349: Chapter 332. Road To Paradise From Zana

/RUMBLE! /" Ah, that's me then. Stop the carriage, Edmon!" John asked for the carriage we were in to stop and then he walked out of the door. We've left Zana around 3 hours ago. Currently, the travelers in the carriage were all the same as on the way to Zana, except of course for 2 new members.

"... I... Is he always like this?" Mrs. Victoria couldn't believe what she's been seeing, Alle was the first one to speak up about John's work ethic." Yes, even when we were supposed to be relaxing after the battle, he was working on different things, Mrs. Victoria."" Like what?" Mrs. Victoria, who spent most of her time inside her house since the murder of her husband, first deciding on whether to leave or stay, then making preparations to leave.

From what I understand, she left her house to her sister who was still living with their parents until today. Because of all of that, it seems that the word about what John has been doing has escaped her, Alle however, was more than happy to inform her about it." For instance, the lands around Zana were devastated from the battle, he personally went to each field and restored them."" How did he manage that?"" I... I'm not sure? I wasn't with him after all."

Alle turned to look at me with a confused expression on her face." Well, since you're going to be living in Paradise, you're bound to run into the information since some of Our People have already seen Lily in person. Our Husband's 2nd Job is Summoner, he's entered into a Contract with Lily, the Rose Queen of The Spirit Forest."" You mean the Spirit Sovereign?" I nodded my head to Mrs. Victoria's question." Currently, he's Summoning Gilbert Harrow, the King of the Molemen, to create the road that we're riding on.

Since he's made a deal with Byron to fix the road leading to Paradise from Zana."" 2 Spirit Sovereigns? How did h-"" They chose him because of curiosity, from what he's told us. So far, their relationships are quite positive." Mrs. Victoria was quite surprised by the revelation of John's 2 Contracted Spirits. I could understand why, but when it comes to Anna and me, it only makes sense for such Mythic Figures to reach out to him, he's Our Husband after all!

There's no doubt in my mind that someone who could make us fall for him as deeply we have, could attract Spirits like them." Continuing on, he's even personally saw to the renovation of the roads and walls of Paradise, I've seen him Summon Gil and work tirelessly during the day. The dire food situation that used to be a fact of life while living in Paradise has completely flipped, now they've actively stored around 3 years' worth of food."

Alle continued to talk about John, it's like when a schoolgirl has her first crush... Well, I suppose that is the case since Alle just turned 18 recently." Even before that, he personally hunted and farmed to help the food situation as soon as possible, all of the food we have now is all thanks to him and Queen Lily!" Ellie added onto Alle's explanation." He also offered my group of starving Humans a place to say when we were starving to death." Now Wendy did as well."

In short, Our Husband has done a lot since arriving in Paradise, Mrs. Victoria. He'll most likely continue working quite hard for the foreseeable future." Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. Anna seemed to want to put an end to all of this praising and tried to put an end to it, but it looked like someone was even more interested in Our Husband's exploits." Why has he done all of that?

Wouldn't a High-Ranking Noble have someone else do it instead of himself?" Kim was confused. I could understand why, John's style of Governing was a lot more "hands on" than most other Nobles I've heard about. Even my Father and Mother only really jumped into action when it came to having to participate in battles during the war that we're in with Promethia. When it came to John though, the answer was more about being pragmatic and fast rather than it was about gaining any kind of benefit like loyalty."

The reason why was simple, he felt that he had the solution to most of the problems that came his way. The roads, walls and food situations were able to be solved through his use of his Contracted Spirits. If he had allowed the townsfolk to do those jobs, it would've taken months for the food and years for the walls and roads. He knew that it would be faster and more efficient to do it himself."" But what about when he went looking for Dad and Big Bro?"

Kim asked something surprising, I thought this subject would be a sensitive topic for her... No, maybe it still is, but she still wants to know? Regardless, the answer didn't change, no matter how many times Anna and I spoke to him about it." He felt responsible for it."" Responsible?" Mrs. Victoria's face deepened with suspicion from my words." Not of their deaths, we all didn't arrive until 3 days before the birthday party for Count Fracks, but he promised you both that he would find their bodies.

When Our Husband promises to do something, he throws all of himself into it, that's half the reason Paradise has recovered in the way it has in all honesty. He doesn't just think "this is good enough", he keeps going until he believes he's done everything he can. In the case of finding the bodies of your dad and big brother, Kim. Someone else doing it just wouldn't cut it, he needed to make sure that he found them as well as make sure that they were buried as your mother wanted them to be, Kim."" Hmmmm...."

Kim stopped asking questions, instead she turned her head and looked out the window, she was watching John from the window, and I could tell that she had begun to think about something in her little head." I see..." Like daughter, like mother it seemed, Mrs. Victoria placed her hand on her chin and also began to think about a few things as well. What it was or could be, was something I couldn't tell since I haven't known them long. I hoped that whatever they thought about John, was now going through a change.

While Kim was somewhat friendly towards John ever since they first spoke. Mrs. Victoria's situation made her act much more civil to him than her eyes let on. Despite his best efforts, John's image in her eyes didn't really change much, perhaps she thought he was only being kind to her because of her husband and son? Or maybe she thought he would make her do backbreaking work. From what he's said, he truly does only plan on making her work as a Member of that Committee he decided to form for her.

I didn't mind, since at the end of the day, Anna and I would still be involved in the rejection or acceptance for their ideas, so we'd still have a say in what Paradise would look like. The only thing we needs to do was find a few Specialists that would be willing to work on the committee. /Screech. /" I'm done, we should be good for the next 5 miles. Did I miss anything?" John had entered the somewhat quiet carriage after finishing up outside... Wait a moment?" 5 miles?"" Yes, 5 miles.

Gil just told me that he's able to use a better version of the Spell with my mana now. He said that it's because we've used the Spell so much, my body's grown more accustomed to the Mana Consumption, so he can use it more liberally now."" Well, that's great news!"" Yeah, Lily gave me an earful since her Spells are still stuck at their base levels with me, but besides that, I really do feel like I'm starting to grow as a Summoner!"

John, on the other hand, was quite happy with his growth, his smile was genuine and that brought smiles to almost everyone in the carriage, Mrs. Victoria and Kim not withstanding of course. John took back his spot sitting in between Anna and I before calling for Edmon to continue driving forward." D-Did I enter on something heavy?" tickle... He whispered in my ears. The fact his breath and voice tickled my ears is something I'd really like to tease him about.

But I can't really do that right now since Wendy, Ellie, Mrs. Victoria and Kim were currently sitting with us. Alle is a non-issue at this point, if anything, she might try and find a way to include herself with teasing John to try and grow closer to him... That wouldn't be a bad idea, now, would it? I shook the idea out of my head, since for right now, we'll be surrounded by their eyes for a while, maybe during the nighttime we'll be able to enjoy ourselves? For now, I need to answer him."

They're just thinking about a few things, My Love. Just give them some time for now."" Okay. I guess I'll get back to reading Daniel Claro's book."" That should work fine, Anna and I do need something to look at after all."" Right..." He laughed at me, but I wasn't lying about it, Anna and I do enjoy stealing glances of him while he's concentrating on something. Honestly, I'd love to find him a pair of glasses just to spice up the image I've grown so accustomed to...

Though as it stands now, it'd still make a great painting. Truly, Our Husband is a sinful man!
