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 56

Kachua immediately told the Gamma Team members the next time she met them that beast-ear headbands were now in fashion.

“It seems so, doesn’t it?”

“Yeah.”

To her surprise, it really seemed to be popular.

Among the people walking down the street, she even spotted some wearing beast-ear headbands.

“Could it be thanks to Mr.Garfa?”

It was about three weeks ago that she had handed the Acorn Chalice to Garfa.

The beast-ear headbands spread like wildfire in no time.

“There’s no one else it could be.”

“Yeah.”

When Nadja told her story, Garfa had said, “I’ll take care of it.”

『The rumor about him being a famed merchant is true after all』the Gamma Team said, impressed.

Of course, Og, as well as all the Gamma Team members, were worried about Og’s elder sister Nadja.

Even if it was the current trend, showing up at a somewhat formal dinner party with real wolf ears seemed questionable, but it was still much better than if it hadn’t become fashionable at all.

And along with the popularity of the beast-ear headbands, somehow, the discriminatory actions toward beastkin seemed to have decreased as well.

“…………”

Og touched his face, wrapped in bandages, and then slowly removed them.

“Eh, is that really okay?”

“Are you alright?”

The Gamma Team members showed concern for Og.

After all, Og had been hiding the fact that he was a werewolf all this time.

“Yes, from here on we will face nothing but formidable enemies. If I cannot feel the wind, my movements will become dull.”

Og’s expression was refreshed, as if something had been lifted from his shoulders.

Kachua and the others reached the thirty-seventh floor where the《Raum Stone》was located.

With Bernhardt joining them, their fighting strength had increased greatly, and they were able to make it here at an ultra-high speed.

The interior of the dungeon was structured in a way that would be impossible by ordinary standards.

Even though it was inside a dungeon, on the thirty-seventh floor a sheer cliff loomed massively before them.

As Kachua and the others approached the cliff,

“Pyee—!!”

A sharp cry rang out, and something swooped down fiercely from the sky.

It was a One-Eyed Bird.

Its appearance was pitch black, resembling a crow, but it was even larger than massive birds of prey like condors.

When it spread its wings, it easily exceeded four meters, a gigantic bird.

“So it has come, the One-Eyed Bird. Take this!”

Although it was quite disadvantageous for humans to fight airborne enemies, Bernhardt leapt high into the air and unleashed punches and kicks in midair, beginning battle with the One-Eyed Bird.

While Bernhardt and the others were drawing the One-Eyed Bird’s attention, the nimble Og and Rick climbed up the cliff and searched the nest.

Inside was a large mass of stone emitting a bluish-black glow.

It was the Raum Stone.

Kachua and the others obtained the《Raum Stone》!

They had safely obtained the Raum Stone, but they still had not met the Dwarves.

The《Raum Stone》was a rare ore, but among rare ores it was considered more on the ordinary side.

To meet the Dwarves, they needed an even rarer ore.

Their next destination was the thirty-ninth floor.

“There, Stone Golems appear and if you defeat one hundred Stone Golems, the event will be cleared and you can obtain the reward, the Green Golem Stone. This too is a rare ore.”

Stone Golems were resistant to magic and tough, yet their drop items and experience points were unremarkable.

They were what one would call『not worth the effort』 so there were not many who hunted Stone Golems.

The Green Golem Stone was an ore that could only be obtained by defeating Stone Golems, but to be honest, it did not have any particularly outstanding traits nor any specific use.

It was not a gemstone, so it was not the kind of item that could be sold at a high price at a tool shop.

However, since the method of obtaining it was extremely limited, it was rare in its own way. It seemed to be a stone favored by the Dwarves.

Kachua and the others headed for the thirty-ninth floor.

……But before that.

“Ah, everyone, starting from the session after next, I’ll be taking a break for a while.”

Kachua cheerfully announced to the team that she would be absent.

“What’s wrong?”

“My son’s exam is over. So, I am going to see my husband.”

At Kachua’s home, Ed had passed the document screening for the junior school entrance exam at Loa Academy, and his written test had safely concluded.

Since the results would be announced two weeks after the exam, during that time Kachua and the others had planned a trip to visit Alan, who was on a solo assignment in the borderlands.

“So that’s why I’ll be taking a little break.”

Kachua looked absolutely overjoyed.

“Ah, the thing you mentioned before.”

“Take care.”

The Gamma Team warmly saw Kachua off.

However.

The next time the Gamma Team met her, Kachua was utterly downcast.

“Eh, your trip got canceled?”

“Oh no.”

It turned out that the civilian teleportation magic circle Kachua had intended to use had been suspended.

Their planned travel destination, the borderlands, had been designated as a restricted area and for safety reasons, civilian entry had been prohibited.

The borderlands had always been tense due to territorial disputes with the neighboring country and recently monsters had grown more ferocious, making it even more dangerous.

“I thought I would be able to see my husband…”

Having been so excited before, Kachua now sank into deep depression from the backlash.

Her dejection was so great that an emergency『Let’s Comfort Kachua Gathering』was convened in the Adventurer’s Guild meeting room.

After hearing Kachua’s story, Bernhardt furrowed his brow with a grave expression.

“The Holy Sword has been lost and the power of protection has weakened. The actions of the monsters are growing more active. We must do something quickly.”

“So this is because the Holy Sword disappeared?”

Kachua suddenly raised her head.

“Yes, most likely.”

Kachua clenched her fists tightly, trembling.

She had thought treasures of the royal family had nothing to do with her, but she was completely wrong.

“～～～! Those monsters! I will not forgive them! Bernhardt-san!”

“Y-Yes!”

“Everyone!”

“「「「「Yes!?」」」」”

“We will cooperate and absolutely find the Holy Sword!”

The sheer force of Kachua’s words made the Gamma Team straighten their backs with a snap.

“「「「「「Okay!!」」」」」”

“Bernhardt-san, aside from the Dwarves, is there any other lead to the Holy Sword?”

From this moment on, she was completely serious.

Kachua pressed in close to Bernhardt.

“That’s right, what exactly is this『Guidance』 anyway?”

Ann asked from the side.

“『Guidance』is a card bestowed by the Goddess.”

“A card?”

“Yes, it is said to be inscribed there. I have never seen it myself, so I do not know for certain, but such is the legend that has been passed down.”

“Hmm.”

Bernhardt carefully looked around to make sure no one else was listening, and after confirming that, he lowered his voice even more and asked the Gamma Team.

“Do you know of the skill 【Shufu】?”

[TL:主婦]

“Eh, the skill 【Housewife】?”
