Yura sheepishly replied, “People sometimes recognize me when I only cover my face.”
“…They recognize your body.”
Yura’s body ratio was indeed perfect. Her three sizes were ideal for both men and women, especially her pelvis and collarbone. The enthusiastic fans of Yura would be able to recognize Yura just by her body.
“Show me the pet that you mentioned.”
“Yes.”
Was she embarrassed by Grid looking her up and down? Yura got straight to the point. Grid nodded at her and pulled out the 30 needles. Yura pulled off her robe as she watched the needles rotating as one. Then she spoke with sharp eyes.
“It’s as you said, but… Are you Pagma’s Descendant?”
“Eh?” The confused Grid replied in the negative. “What nonsense are you saying? Why am I Pagma’s Descendant?”
“Even without this, I saw that Pagma’s Descendant resisted Neberius’s magic and was reminded of you in the past. But I wasn’t sure until now…
“…”
“Your golden needles and the golden discs of Pagma’s Descendant are similar in material and nature. You don’t have an epic hidden class. You have a legendary class.”
“No?”
Grid denied it until the end, but Yura didn’t listen.
“It is fine if you don’t want to be honest. Whether you have an epic or legendary class, it doesn’t change the fact that you are needed for South Korea. Anyway, considering the usage of the golden discs that I saw on TV, it seems possible to use them to participate in the pet marathon…”
They were too immersed in the conversation. Both of them weren’t aware that someone was approaching.
“The connection between a married couple is truly amazing. I never thought I would encounter you here.”
A woman’s voice was heard from the mouth of the alley. Yura and Grid turned their heads at the same time. It was a typical noble appearance with silver hair, colorful clothes and covered with accessories.
“Irene? Why are you here?”
Grid’s pupils expanded. He was alone in an alley with a woman, so he was afraid his wife would condemn him as a sinner.
‘Will she think that I cheated on her?’
Fortunately, Irene didn’t doubt Grid. The maximum liking didn’t fall so easily and she saw the wedding ring on Grid’s hand. Irene unabashedly linked arms with Grid. Then she smiled casually at Yura.
“Are you my husband’s friend? It’s the first time I’ve seen you. I am Irene Winston von Steim. I am the lady of Winston and Grid’s wife.”
Yura was startled.
‘I heard that Lady Winston married, but to think that her husband is a user… In addition, he turned out to be Grid.’
He was a man who was like an onion. The more she knew him, the more new aspects that were revealed.
“I…” The moment Yura was about to introduce herself,
“My Lady! Danger!”
It was Phoenix. He arrived in Winston with Irene. Irene discovered Grid in an alley while walking down the street. He followed Irene and saw Yura.
“She’s Yatan’s Eighth Servant!”
In the past, Phoenix had faced Yura. The result was a loss. He lost hundreds of troops and was seriously injured. This time he would catch the girl who dared appear alone behind enemy lines! Phoenix pulled out the legendary rated Sword of Self-transcendence.
Irene’s body trembled at the words.
“The Eighth Servant…? You are my husband’s friend?”
Her confusion reached the limit and she didn’t know what to do. Grid couldn’t watch silently and hugged her to make her feel at ease. Then in order to conceal his identity, he pulled out Dainsleif, not Failure, and pointed it at Yura.
“This wicked girl! You hid your identity and approached me! I will never allow you near my wife as long as I am here!”
Grid was like a character from a manhwa. Yura was honestly shocked.
‘Wicked girl…’
Had she ever been called this in her life? Yura was shocked, but she was clever and quickly figured it out. She noticed the situation and started acting, as she spoke with a cold smile, “My original plan was to approach you and take the life of Lady Irene, but I missed the opportunity because of that old knight. Unfortunately, I have to leave for today.”
Yura used flying magic and soared into the sky. Grid was able to catch her, but he stood beside Irene under the pretext of protecting her. Phoenix and the knights tried to chase Yura, but they were unable to move quickly through the narrow alleys because they were heavily armed.
Thanks to that, Yura was able to safely escape and disappeared into the other side of the sky.
“Ah…”
Irene had experienced being kidnapped twice by the Yatan Church. She was still unable to escape from that fear and her legs weakened. Grid tried to look as nice as possible as he knelt before her. He stroked her cheeks with an affectionate hand and murmured.
“It’s okay. I’m by your side, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Dear husband…”
The recent appearance of Grid, who had been getting healthier, was quite different than it was in the past. Irene’s heart started pounding at his nice appearance. She felt like a fairy tale princess.
Since that day.
With the aid of the soldiers and technicians led by Irene, Bairan Village was able to recover quickly.
Chapter 159
Chapter 159
‘I’m going crazy.’
Three days ago, Grid got a job from Jishuka to find a talented person. Grid really enjoyed it. It was fun to observe people with Talent Search, and he could do his task while raising his insight.
But the problem was that Irene appeared along the way. She led the troops to Bairan under the pretext of helping with its recovery, and she hadn’t left Grid’s side for the past three days. Grid was unable to move freely around the village because of her, thus Grid became trapped.
“Grid… Why don’t you do it moderately?”
“Wow, the quality is real.”
Bairan Village.
Grid was repairing and appraising the items of the guild members, and everyone who passed by made a lot of noise. It was due to Irene stuck to Grid’s side. She pulled out a handkerchief every time Grid sweated, fed him snacks from time to time and hummed when she was bored.
A beautiful woman with white skin, peace lips, big eyes and elegant gestures was treating Grid like this, so the male guild members couldn’t help feeling jealous.
‘Did that bastard save a country in his past life? How did he get such a beautiful and powerful woman as a wife?’
‘I’m really envious… I’m more envious that he is Irene’s husband than his legendary class… Sigh…’
‘Hah… I also want to spend time with Irene… For her, I would obtain the heart of the dragon Trauka…’
‘They’re married, so aren’t they sleeping together…? Uhh… Grid took Irene’s purity…’
They became outright hostile. Grid felt like he was sitting on a thorn cushion.
“I should rest for a while.”
“It’s a good idea.” Irene rose when Grid did. Then she spoke with blue eyes that shone like lanterns. “You have worked from early dawn, so you must be tired. Let’s prepare to go to bed.”
“No… I don’t need to take a nap.”
A user only slept in Satisfy to quickly recover their health or stamina. Right now, Grid’s health and stamina were full. He just wanted to leave his spot for a while to avoid his guild members. But Irene was stubborn.
“No. You must sleep. Don’t you think that having enough rest is the secret to good health? Now, go and take a nap.”
Strangely, she was very determined. Grid questioned it.
‘Why does she keep trying to make me sleep?’
Over the past three days, Irene kept forcing Grid to go to bed. She made a fuss in the morning, afternoon and night. Grid didn’t understand why and asked plainly, “Be honest. What do you want from me?”
“Huh?”
Irene eyes widened like a rabbit at the straightforward question. The tactless Grid cornered her against the wall of a building and asked again, “Do I have to repeat myself? What’s the reason?”
“T-that…” Irene’s white face turned red. She couldn’t bear Grid’s gaze and turned her head away. “…How annoying. Why do I have to say it with my own mouth?”
Irene spoke in a weak voice.
Grid felt guilty for some reason, but he didn’t step back. He wanted to solve this question.
“Yes, you must say it.”
In the end, tears filled Irene’s eyes. It was because of her tremendous embarrassment.
“Sob… Husband, are you somehow who has the tendency to deal with women in such a manner…? Commanding me to say something so shameful… Sob sob…”
“I-Irene? Why are you crying?”
Grid was surprised by Irene’s tears and looked around.
‘I’m going crazy.’
If someone saw him now then they would certainly misunderstand. He was the garbage husband who made his beautiful wife cry in public. While Grid was confused about what to do, Irene bit her lower life. Then like a kitten craving for food, she carefully looked at Grid.
“…I want to have a baby.”
“You want a baby? I understand. I will get it right away so stop your tears… Huh? B-Baby?”
Grid panicked and jumped back. Irene ran to him and hugged him. Then she hesitantly pleaded, “I want to have a baby boy. Give me a baby.”
“Wow…”
Grid was confused.
‘Is she serious? Am I reading the meaning of her words correctly?’
Certainly, Irene had wanted a baby from the beginning. After the first night, hadn’t she declared to Earl Steim that she would give birth to several kids? But she couldn’t wait and was acting so aggressively in daylight?
‘This is completely… No, isn’t she too faithful to her instincts?’
Irene was the synonym of gentleness, yet she was acting like this? Grid blinked at Irene, then she drove in the wedge.
“Why aren’t you answering? Am I not able to satisfy your tastes…?”
“…Taste?”
“That… I want. Dear husband… Dear husband’s…”
“Please don’t say anything else.”
Grid was unable to stand hearing those words emerge from Irene’s pure face and blocked her mouth. Then he was caught up in a boiling impulse.
‘It’s inappropriate…’
Was he disappointed? Not at all! Rather, she was even more adorable! A beautiful woman wanted him this much. Wasn’t this something to be happy and thankful about? His self-esteem as a man rose.
“Let’s go.”
Grid enthusiastically picked Irene up. It was the so-called princess embrace.
“Oh my.” Irene was surprised and pleased at the same time. She smiled shyly before burying her face in Grid’s chest. Grid grinned and started to run. The destination was naturally the bedroom.
“What? Why are you in such a hurry?”
“Is Lady Irene hurt or something?”
The guild members he encountered on the way were worried. But Grid and Irene didn’t hear their voices. Right now, there were only the two of them in this world.
“Dear husband… Please come here.”
They arrived at the bedroom. Irene sat on the bed in a sexy position and welcomed Grid with both arms wide open.
Gulp. “Irene…”
Grid was drawn in by her elongated limbs, when he suddenly stopped.
‘…I can’t respond.’
Was it just Irene who wanted to make a baby? Grid had a strong desire for her. But Satisfy’s system restricted sex to only once a month, so how could a user resist? Controlling his brainwaves suppressed desire and reduced his physical responses. He wanted Irene with all his heart, but his body didn’t react. What was this terrible torture?
‘The demon who made this game…’
Jeurereuk.
Tears flowed down.
“Dear husband…?”
Irene was surprised because Grid started crying all of a sudden.
“I am just so happy that I can’t help crying.”
Grid smiled to reassure Irene and walked up to her. Then he started to use techniques 21-35 that he hadn’t used yet from ‘100 techniques to Satisfy Women.’
“I will make sure that you are satisfied.”
Grid’s long and thick fingers started to move. After the Guardian of the Forest raid and the creation of Failure and the Wave Armor, his dexterity stat was higher than his first night, making him surpass the realm of a god.
“Ahh…”
Irene let out a beautiful melody as she was played like an instrument. Hot breathing started to dominate the bedroom…
Omitted.
***
“Husband, I understand that you’re a great man and that the things you have to do are piled up like a mountain. But please don’t forget that Winston is where you should stay. Please return as soon as possible.”
Thanks to Grid, Irene was able to get rid of her pent up desires and finally regained her composure.
“I will go back now.”
Due to the efforts of the Tzedakah Guild and Irene’s help, Bairan Village was restored to a considerable level. Irene thought her help was sufficient, so she led everyone back to Winston. The guild members watched her leave.
“Lady Irene, doesn’t she seem much more beautiful compared to the first day she came?”
“That… Originally, I thought Jishuka looked prettier, but that isn’t necessarily the case now.”
Regas said with a warm smile, “Isn’t a woman in love like a flower? Thanks to Grid making her happy every night, the flower is blooming.”
“What?”
The guild members became indignant.
“Grid! That beast! That lousy guy, he touched the pure Irene?”
“That woman of all people… I can’t believe it!”
“He’s her husband! Is it okay if her husband is like this?”
Grid frowned at the guild members. “I literally used my hands. Now shut up.”
“…”
There was still a fortnight left on his penalty. Until then, he had to refrain from meeting Irene as much as possible. If he had to, he would use his hand techniques to satisfy her and overcome the crisis.
He left the smithy in order to enjoy the freedom he had after Irene left. Then he started examining the residents again, but he couldn’t find any talents that day, the next day or the day after that.
‘I have observed more than 400 people but I still can’t find a talent… Is there really a talented person here?’
The restoration of the outer walls was finished. Now the residents scattered in every direction to restore the buildings. Grid followed them around searching for talent, so his insight and persistence stats rose. It was satisfying and fun, but he was still getting nervous.
‘I’ve been searching for a few days, but if I don’t find a talent, did I just waste my time? I don’t like that. Ah… Come to think of it.’
Grid examined the village with the Ruler’s Sword and turned his attention to a small mountain behind the village. It was the mountain he obtained iron ore from when he had a minus level.
‘The special products of Bairan Village are jaffa and iron, and most of the villagers are miners…’
Weapons were needed to supplement the troops, and iron was needed to make weapons. Jishuka needed the soldiers for the sake of security, so she sent some residents to the mine instead of making them participate in the village reconstruction work. Perhaps a resident with talent was hiding inside the mine?
Grid felt expectant and started to climb the mountain. He suffered when he was a minus level, but now he easily climbed the mountain. He ran up the mountain and arrived at the mine.
Kaaang! Kaaang!
Inside the mine.
There were 20 miners swinging their pickaxe. Grid held the Ruler’s Sword and observed them in turn. There was a boy around 15 years old? Among the old miners, there was something like a gold star blinking above the young boy’s head.
‘That guy!’
The excited Grid used Talent Search.
Name: Minor
Age: 13 Gender: Male
Occupation: Miner
Level: 23
Strength: 64/450 Stamina: 89/608
Agility: 51/200 Intelligence: 98/420

A boy who has held a pickaxe since the age of five, under the influence of his father who was a miner. Despite his young age, he could collect minerals as well as miners with 20 years of experience.
The villagers believe that this boy will someday transcend the legendary miner, Gis.
* A great talent. If this talent blooms, he will be the representative of a country in this particular field.
‘Amazing…!’
Grid felt a great joy.
Considering the fact that the maximum stats of ordinary people was around 100, Minor’s maximum stats were unreasonable and his current stats were very high, considering his age and level.
‘In addition, all his skills are above the S-grade!’
Furthermore, a miner? Wasn’t he very compatible with a blacksmith? Grid confirmed Minor’s skill information. The Ruler’s Sword was an upgrade from the Commander’s Sword in all ways, so he could determine the details of the skills that the target possessed.
