“Night Lei, your skills are really impressive. The Starry Sky Pudding was delicious too. I feel like you could open a shop in a nearby town.”
The dinner gathering soon ended amidst laughter and conversation.
Evalyn sighed with admiration as Night Lei saw her and Faon to the door.
Night Lei smiled and replied, “Miss Evalyn, you flatter me. I just messed around based on books in my spare time. After all, work at the church isn’t very busy.”
“No, it’s really good! Since work isn’t busy, how about you teach me how to make it when you come over tomorrow?”
Evalyn blinked.
“No problem. I’ll have to ask you for tips on other desserts as well.”
After saying this, Night Lei glanced at Faon with a gaze that was difficult to detect.
Evalyn was extremely sensitive to eyes looking at Faon.
‘Is she afraid… my husband will find it troublesome? Or is she testing my attitude?’
She didn’t say it out loud, merely nodding with a smile.
“Okay~ See you tomorrow then. Hubby, you’ll be back early tomorrow, right?”
Faon, who had been listening nearby, nodded.
“I should be able to. I don’t have many arrangements for work tomorrow. I’ll help you out then, Evalyn.”
“I… I can help Miss Evalyn too.”
Night Night’s timid voice came from behind Night Lei.
“Thank you, Night Night, but that won’t be necessary. Just leave it to us. My husband’s skills are quite good too, so you two can just wait to eat. Besides, we relied entirely on your hospitality today.”
“As expected of newlyweds, your relationship is so good. I’ll take the liberty of looking forward to Master Faon and Miss Evalyn’s handiwork then,” Night Lei spoke without a hint of abnormality.
Evalyn didn’t find it strange either; after all, there was a “Restraint” section in the other woman’s Affection Column.
After a few more pleasantries, Faon and Evalyn prepared to leave.
But after waving goodbye, Evalyn remembered the Difficult Commission.
After some thought, she decided it was better to wait until tomorrow.
‘It’s probably better to bring it up naturally during the gathering.
If I say it now, it’ll seem like I only invited them for that purpose.’
If that happened, Night Lei might become guarded.
After all, the Difficult Commission had a second requirement.
Moreover… wouldn’t that be the same as telling her that she wanted her to have more contact with her Faon?
“Isn’t this good, Miss Evalyn? The commission can be completed faster,” the Receptionist’s voice rang out abruptly.
‘Hmph, what’s so good about it! The Magic Camera is already loud enough. If the target is guarded, the chances of being discovered will be very high!’
“Miss Evalyn really is talented.”
‘I feel like there’s something weird about that sentence.’
Evalyn shook her head, choosing not to overthink it.
Her main goal now was to remove the curse from Faon so they could live happily together.
Once they returned home and Evalyn closed the door, she sat on the sofa in the living room and hugged Faon’s arm.
She spoke with a giggle, “I feel like you were a bit quiet around Night Lei. Do you think it’s a hassle that I invited them over without asking you?”
Even for the sake of the commission, she wanted to take her husband’s feelings into account as much as possible.
“No. You’re usually cooped up at home, Evalyn. Other than painting, you’re doing housework. It’s nice to invite friends over. Just as you said, it’ll be livelier at the very least,” Faon answered with a smile.
That was the truth.
Ever since his wife’s body became weak, she really hadn’t gone out much.
Previously, he and his younger sister could accompany her.
Since moving to this small town, although his work was usually relaxed, he still wasn’t home all the time.
His sister had also gone to the Magic Academy for further studies, leaving his wife alone in the new house during the day.
“Really? You really don’t find it troublesome or inconvenient?”
Evalyn blinked and continued to press.
“Hmm? Inconvenient for what? It’s just dinner. Night Lei and Night Night aren’t going to live in our house. Why ask that all of a sudden?”
Faon asked, his tone a bit strange.
“It’s nothing. I just thought it might be weird for a big man like you to come home to three women. What if you have a change of heart… Night Lei and Night Night are both big beauties, after all.”
Evalyn giggled, making a small joke.
“Evalyn… could it be that you’re… cough, jealous? Should I cancel the invitation? I can tell Night Lei.” Faon smiled at first, then spoke seriously. “From the moment we married, I made a vow before the Goddess. I will only be loyal to you for the rest of my life, no matter what.”
“No, no, no… I was just joking. I feel like it’s been a long time since I teased you. Don’t be so serious~ Couples need a little spice. Of course, I know you’ll only be loyal to me, and I trust you, just as you trust me.”
Evalyn waved her hands hurriedly.
Although her heart felt sweet the moment she heard “loyal,” she felt a bit conflicted afterward.
After all, to save Faon, she had to bring women to his side.
So, for now, she could only let Night Lei and the other women suffer a bit, using them as tools for her to accept commissions.
“I know it was a joke, but don’t make jokes like that in the future.”
Faon spoke with a smile, showing no sign of blame.
“However, I’m still curious why you suddenly asked that.”
The reason he didn’t blame her was entirely because he couldn’t bear to.
Evalyn thought for a moment and found a suitable reason.
“They’re neighbors, after all, and we have a good relationship. It’s right to socialize more. Besides, Night Lei is very skilled. I want to ask her for more tips on making desserts. Also, I saw that you liked the pudding tonight, so I want to make more for you to taste.”
She couldn’t exactly say it was for a commission, could she?
And she really did want her husband to taste more of her cooking.
Faon stared blankly for a moment, his expression softening.
“Liking pudding is a habit left over from the battlefield. Still, thank you, Evalyn.”
“Why are you thanking your wife? It’s a wife’s right to remember what her husband likes.”
Evalyn puffed her cheeks out cutely, then laughed.
“Alright… don’t think about those painful things on the battlefield. I just wanted to tell you that we might have many more dinner parties in the future.”
“No problem. I as long as you’re okay with it, Evalyn, it’s fine with me.”
Faon nodded.
“That’s good. Then I’ll go take a bath first. Wait for me for a bit, okay?”
Evalyn breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hmm? Wait for you… what are we doing later?”
Faon teased his wife out of habit, the corners of his mouth curling upward.
“…O-Of course it’s for ‘husband and wife’ matters at night! That’s also a wife’s right, okay!”
Evalyn’s voice suddenly rose several decibels, clearly out of shyness.
She was the type who talked big but folded easily.
“Aren’t you afraid of being tired tonight and not being able to prepare dinner tomorrow?”
“It’ll be fine… since it’s tomorrow afternoon anyway. Just you wait! I’m going to the bath now.”
After saying that, Evalyn, her face flushing red, went to the bedroom to get a change of clothes.
She gave Faon a provocative look before entering the bathroom.
Faon watched his wife walk into the bathroom and smiled.
His wife was indeed perfect in every way.
Virtuous, passionate, and cute—that was enough.
He didn’t care about anything else.
Speaking of which, the Captain really liked pudding, which led to them eating Starry Sky Pudding after every hard-fought battle later on.
He wondered what she was busy with now.
She hadn’t come to the wedding, and neither had the other two.
To this, Faon could only assume they were busy.
Instead of overthinking, it was better to tidy up the house; he couldn’t always leave it to his wife.
—
In the bathroom.
Just as Evalyn soaked her body in the water, the Receptionist’s voice rang out.
“Miss Evalyn, you can now check Faon’s detailed information and Special Commissions.”
“Hmm? Now? You’re not saying I have to enter the guild, are you?”
Evalyn asked curiously.
“Yes. However, you can rest assured, Miss Evalyn. After registering as a Matchmaker, you will appear in uniform when you enter the guild.”
Upon hearing this, Evalyn did not hesitate to enter the guild.
After all, she was going to rest soon, so she wouldn’t have time to enter the guild later.
Just like before, after choosing to enter, the scene before her eyes immediately switched to the inside of the Matchmaker’s Guild.
She was wearing a black and white maid uniform.
Evalyn frowned and looked at the Receptionist.
“Why is the Matchmaker’s uniform like this?”
“It is merely for uniformity, Miss Evalyn. There are no other implications.”
“Saying it like that only makes people speculate more.”
Evalyn felt a bit helpless.
‘It shouldn’t be… implying that the Matchmaker serves the husband and other women, right?’
Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head.
She only came in to see the Special Commission and her husband’s information.
Coming to the crystal ball, she placed her palm on it.
The crystal ball lit up instantly, and all of Faon’s information surfaced in front of her.

After reading it, Evalyn was a bit stunned.
She was prepared for a lot of information, but she didn’t expect all of Faon’s levels to be so high.
However, she was indeed very happy when she saw Faon’s traits.
Of course, she knew the basic information, including his dual adventurer classes.
Evalyn was more curious about her husband’s Corruption Level, traits, and Affection Levels.
“What does ‘Corruption Level’… mean? Does it mean my husband, as a Paladin, will fall like… a legendary angel?”
Evalyn frowned.
“Of course not. Corruption Level refers to the possibility of Master Faon actively cheating. ‘None’ means it is completely impossible for Master Faon. The levels are similar to Matchmaker levels. The higher the level, the more likely Master Faon is to reach out to other women himself. Therefore, it is also very necessary to raise the Corruption Level.”
The Receptionist explained immediately. Evalyn was happy to hear the first half, but after hearing the second half, she could only sigh, ‘I knew it would be like this.’
To prevent herself from overthinking, she quickly skipped over it.
“Then what do the Affection Levels mean? The text afterward seems to be different for everyone.”
“Yes, Affection Levels are generated for each individual. You can explore them yourself, Miss Evalyn.” As if afraid Evalyn would ask more, the Receptionist added, “Generally speaking, E-rank is loathing, D-rank is stranger, C-rank is friend, B-rank is more than friends but less than lovers, A-rank is absolute trust, and S-rank is love. Of course, this is just an approximation; it also depends on traits.”
Next, Evalyn asked about other things, such as constitution and energy levels.
The answers she received were not surprising.
Since her husband was already the strongest knight in the world, his constitution was naturally the strongest among humans.
As for energy… according to the Receptionist’s explanation, it referred to mana and sexual capability.
Mostly sexual capability.
Evalyn wasn’t too surprised by this either… after all, every time, she felt very comfortable, the kind that was blissfully overwhelming…
What made her dissatisfied was… her own energy level was also S, but according to the Receptionist’s explanation, it was entirely due to the influence of her mana capacity.
That was too hurtful.
“You can rest assured about this as well, Miss Evalyn. As mentioned before, the commission rewards include improvements to constitution and energy. As long as you do commissions, anything is possible. It might even be possible for you to become the initiator at night,” the Receptionist consoled her.
Evalyn sighed instead. “So… the difficulty in completing commissions now is my husband?”
Clearly, being devoted was a happy thing, but…
“Yes. Most of the early tasks are to raise Master Faon’s Corruption Level and his Affection Level for others. Next, would you like to take a look at the Special Commissions, Miss Evalyn?”
“Special Commissions… I’ve heard you mention them before. What exactly are they?” Evalyn was a bit curious.
“They are fixed super-commissions, just like in the Adventurers Guild, but they require certain conditions to unlock. They can also be considered rank-up tasks. For example, the current Special Commission can only be unlocked after completing a Difficult Commission.”
“Then never mind. I’ll think about how to do the current two commissions first.”
Evalyn sighed. It really wasn’t easy.
However, this was for her Faon.
And Faon would always belong to her… just as she said before, she could only wrong the others by using them as tools.
Wait! Being able to get close to her Faon wasn’t exactly being wronged, was it?
“Then, I wish you every success.”
The moment she withdrew, Evalyn heard the Receptionist say that.
She was a bit depressed.
Even though it was a blessing, why did it sound so strange? Was it really not mocking her?
After withdrawing, Evalyn discovered that only a short while seemed to have passed.
Her body hadn’t even cooled down.
But it didn’t matter… even if her body cooled down, she still had her husband.
She could just test whether her energy level really did rely entirely on her mana capacity.
It wasn’t that she liked to talk big but fold easily.
There was no such thing as a wife who couldn’t satisfy her husband!
