An Adventurer Mom, Who Awakened [Housewife] Skill Through a Login Bonus, Is Making the Most of Her Adventurer Life With the Weekly Flyers She Gets! - Chapter 41

Other than the person themselves, a status board can only be seen by someone who can use appraisal magic or with a special magical tool.

From the perspective of everyone in Gamma Team, Kachua was suddenly gripping a strangely patterned hand mirror that had fallen from above and staring in surprise at an empty space. They asked her curiously.

“What’s the matter, Kachua-san?”

“Well, you see, this hand mirror…”

The hand mirror Kachua received upon achieving 100 monster point card points was said to have a special magic that allowed the user to meet someone they wanted to see, only once a year.

“That’s great.”

“Now you can meet your husband.”

“Yeah.”

While the team offered her their congratulations, Kachua casually handed the hand mirror to Og.

“Here, Og-kun, you use it.”

It was a stark contrast to her earlier indecisiveness.

Rick and Laura’s home was in a town near the labyrinth city of Loa, close enough for them to return on holidays. Ann didn’t like talking about herself, so nothing was known about her family, but since she was an adult, she could probably manage on her own. In that case, the one who needed this the most right now was Og.

Og’s amber eyes widened in surprise.

“I… I can’t use it.”

He said in a flustered manner.

“But you must be worried about your older sister and your hometown, right?”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

Og was sixteen years old. His parents had already passed away, and his older sister, three years his senior, had raised him.

From the perspective of twenty-seven-year-old Kachua, sixteen was still very much a child, an age where one should ideally be protected by adults. Yet now Og was living alone, far from his hometown.

Kachua thought that at the very least, she wanted him to be able to see his family’s faces.

“But Kachua-san, what about your husband? This is your rare chance to talk to him.” Rick asked on behalf of the frozen Og.

“That’s right, Kachua. Think about the children too” Ann added.

Kachua reported to everyone with a beaming face.

“You know, I actually reached my savings goal!”

Kachua had been saving travel expenses to go visit her husband, Alan, who was on a solo work assignment. Her target amount was one million gold.

“Oh, is that so?”

Combining the money she had saved until now with the reward from the designated quest she received from Jessica, Kachua’s savings had exceeded one million gold.

“Now I can go see my husband. So it’s fine.”

“Congratulations.”

“Thank you! My son still has school, so I can’t go right away but I’ll be going sometime soon. I’m planning to splurge and use a civilian teleportation magic circle. So I think I’ll take a week off from somewhere.”

Kachua, who was finally going to be able to see her husband after so long, was already excited.

Alan’s post at the national border was quite far away and inconvenient to reach, so taking a shared carriage would require over a month for a round trip.

Faster than a carriage was a dragon carriage, and faster still was a teleportation magic circle.

The teleportation magic circle, being faster, was naturally more expensive—ten times the cost of a carriage.

However, when factoring in food and lodging expenses during travel, the total cost would end up being only about twice as much.

It went over budget, but since she had received some extra income, Kachua decided she would travel this time using the teleportation magic circle.

“So, here, take it.”

Kachua once again held out the hand mirror to Og.

“Uh, um, a-are you really sure?”

Og stammered as he asked.

“Yes, use it.”

“Th-thank you very much.”

Og carefully extended his bandaged arm and accepted the hand mirror from Kachua.

＊＊＊

The hand mirror could be used at any time, but if there was a mirror on the other side, the two could see each other through it while talking.

Hearing that, Og said, “Um, Kachua-san, can I use this mirror right now?”

“Right now?”

“Yes, because it’s lunchtime now, and my sister should be back home.”

In Og’s village, most people worked in agriculture. Around this time, they would return home from the fields for lunch.

“Of course, you can.”

With Kachua’s permission, Og used the mirror.

“Mirror, show me the figure of Nadja in Licorice Village.”

When Og made his wish to the magical hand mirror, the mirror’s surface warped with a ripple.

A small vortex swirled within the glass, and when it settled, what Og saw was the inside of his own home in Licorice Village.

Kachua and the others quietly peeked from behind so as not to disturb Og.

It seemed to be the living room of a simple countryside home. At the table, a beautiful young woman of about twenty, with orange hair, was eating a meal alone.

On top of her head were a pair of dog-like ears.

Og, completely absorbed, called out to the woman.

“Nee-san!”

In the middle of her lunch, Nadja thought she heard the voice of her younger brother Og.

She looked around, but no one was there.

“Must have been my imagination” she murmured, returning to her meal—only for the voice to come again.

“Nee-san!”

“Hm?”

“It’s me, Og!”

“Og?”

The voice was coming from the mirror hanging in the living room.

Hurrying over, Nadja peered into the glass, and there she saw the figure of a boy whose face was wrapped all around with bandages.

“Og!? Is that you, Og?”

It was her younger brother Og, who had left the village several months earlier after that incident, saying he would『find a way to return to his original form.』

“Yeah, Nee-san, I’ve missed you.”

Tears welled in Og’s eyes. His appearance had changed since then into the unfamiliar face of a wolf, but his gentle, calm eyes and voice remained the same.

“I’ve missed you too. Are you alright? You’re not hurt?”

“I’m fine. Right now, I’m in the labyrinth city of Loa. I’ve made companions, and they’ve been kind to me.”

“Oh my.”

Og pulled the hand mirror back and showed the people standing behind him to his sister.

“Ah, are you Og-kun’s older sister? Nice to meet you.”

For some reason, Kachua was the one to greet her on behalf of the team.

Nadja, who had assumed that『adventurers』meant muscular men (half-naked), was surprised to see a team with many female members.

In particular, Kachua looked like an ordinary woman from town and didn’t appear strong at all.

Flustered at being greeted by Kachua, Nadja quickly bowed her head.

“Nice to meet you, I’m his sister, Nadja. Thank you for always looking after Og.”

“No, no, it’s the other way around. Og-kun has been helping us in many ways.”

“I’m so glad! Og, you’re doing well, right?”

Although the suddenness had startled her greatly, Nadja was deeply relieved to see her younger brother safe.

“Yeah. How about you, Nee-san? And everyone in the village?”

“We’re doing fine here. The village is managing somehow.”

Licorice Village had been attacked by wolf beastmen, and nearly all the villagers had been turned into werewolves.

Some had been seriously injured, but now everyone’s wounds had healed.

Ironically, becoming werewolves with bodies far sturdier than humans had saved them.

“How about you? Does it look like you’ll find a way to cure it?”

When asked by his sister, Og explained what he had learned so far.

“Well… I’ve found out that there is a potion that can reverse beastman transformation, but I still don’t have all the ingredients.”

“I see. Alright, don’t push yourself too hard.”

“But…Nee-san, aren’t you going to meet Robert-san’s parents soon?”

Og asked worriedly, concern in his voice.

“……”

The wolf ears atop Nadja’s head drooped low.

‘Who? Robert-san?’

Kachua, secretly listening in, couldn’t stop her heart from pounding.
