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 59

“Eh, the skill 【Housewife】?”

The Gamma Team was shocked.

That the name of the completely obscure rare skill 【Housewife】would come from the mouth of Bernhardt was beyond belief.

“You know of it?”

Seeing the reaction of the Gamma Team,Bernhardt hurriedly questioned them.

“Yes, well…”

Overwhelmed by his intensity, Kachua hesitated and instead Ann answered.

“Promise you will never tell anyone. If you do, then I’ll explain.”

“Aaa、 I promise. Tell me. I am searching for the one who possesses this rare skill.”

『Should I tell him?』

『Go ahead.』

After exchanging a glance, Ann turned back toward Bernhardt.

“Good for you. The one you’re looking for is right here Kachua”

“Eh, Kachua-san is…? She is the one who possesses the skill?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“………”

Hearing Kachua’s confirmation, Bernhardt sank into deep thought.

“Kachua-san.”

After a while, Bernhardt called out to her with a grave expression.

“Y-yes.”

Drawn in by his seriousness, Kachua also grew tense.

“Kachua-san, do you have a Monster Point Card?”

“Eh, Bernhardt-san, you know about the Monster Point Card?”

“Would you show it to me, if you don’t mind?”

“Well, I don’t really mind, but…”

The Monster Point Card was something that only Kachua herself could see.

Showing it to others should have been meaningless, but seeing the earnest look on Bernhardt’s face, Kachua pulled the Monster Point Card out of her clasp purse and held it out to him.

“Here it is.”

“Ah, thank you.”

Bernhardt accepted the Monster Point Card from Kachua.

Although the magician Jessica had not been able to see it, she had been able to touch the Monster Point Card.

If even Bernhardt could do the same, then perhaps—despite being best known for speaking through fists and muscle—he might also possess a talent for magic.

Bernhardt stared intently at the point card, then murmured,

“So this is the Monster Point Card…”

“Eh, Bernhardt-san, you can actually see the Point Card?”

“I can. Are you saying that no one but Kachua-san can normally see this card?”

“Yes.”

Ann nodded.

“I am a descendant of the one who once possessed the skill 【Housewife–Househusband】. Perhaps that is why.”

“Bernhardt-san… a descendant of the bearer of the skill 【Housewife–Househusband】…”

“I came to Dungeon Loa in search of this card. I had heard that if you prayed one hundred times before the Goddess Statue, you would be granted it…”

“Ah, that’s how I received mine.”

Bernhardt slumped his shoulders in defeat.

“I received no Guidance at all.”

“Ehh…”

Indeed, praying one hundred times before the Goddess Statue in Dungeon Loa was something any ordinary adventurer would naturally achieve within a few years.

And yet the skill【Housewife–Househusband】 remained completely unknown.

“The skill【Housewife–Househusband】must be one granted only to those chosen by the gods. It awakens solely in those who can use its power for the right cause.”

Hearing Bernhardt’s words, Kachua was bewildered.

“I don’t think I’m such an amazing person… I’m just an ordinary housewife.”

Bernhardt hunched his large back, staring desperately at the Point Card.

“Where is it? According to the royal family’s tradition, one of the rewards on the Point Card should be the Holy Sword…”

…………………

“Eh?”

The Gamma Team froze for a full minute.

“A reward on the Point Card? The Holy Sword!?”

“Aaa, the one who first received the Holy Sword was the consort of the first King. He was the bearer of the skill【Housewife–Househusband】 .”

“Eh, a man?”

“Wait, you mean… the royal consort?”

“Ah, that’s right, I remember now. I heard from this guy that there was once a rare skill holder in the royal family.”

Ann said this.

“Aaa, my distant ancestor was the one who obtained the Holy Sword.”

“…With points?”

Bernhardt nodded with a perfectly serious expression.

“With points.”

＊＊＊

What should they do?

The air was thick with unbearably awkward silence.

The Holy Sword, which had sounded so cool, suddenly seemed terribly lame…

Only Bernhardt continued staring intently at the Point Card without a care.

At last, he shouted.

“I found it! Here it is!”

“Eh, it really exists?”

Even though Kachua was looking at the Point Card herself, she was sure there had never been anything like the Holy Sword written there.

“Look, see this!”

Bernhardt pressed firmly on the lower part of the Point Card.

“!?”

What had seemed like nothing more than a flat board suddenly switched displays, revealing reward tiers not yet unlocked.

It was a function even Kachua herself had never known!

“Just as the legend said. This is called a『Scroll』.”

“A scroll…”

With a deadly serious expression, Bernhardt handed the Point Card back to Kachua.

“Kachua-san, check it for yourself.”

“Where?”

“At the twenty-thousand-point mark!”

“Twenty thousand points!?”

Kachua let out an involuntary scream.

It was no wonder she had not noticed.

Even if she had known about the scroll function, Kachua would never have thought to read it.

But—

“It’s true… At the twenty-thousand-point mark it says, 『Presenting the legendary sword that defeats the Avatar of Darkness, the Holy Sword. With this, let’s go save the world!』”

“『Let’s go save the world…』”

Rick muttered in a deflated tone.

Yes, that was exactly what everyone except Bernhardt thought.

“According to the legend, it was my ancestor — who became the royal consort of the first Queen after she overcame her trials — together with her and their like-minded companions, who were granted the Holy Sword by the gods with the command『Defeat the Darkness』. With that Holy Sword, they struck down the Avatar of Darkness.”

Bernhardt explained.

“If you force it into a prettied-up version, then sure, it matches the legend.”

Ann remarked.

If you insisted that collecting points counted as a『trial』, then indeed, there was no contradiction with the tradition.

“Alright! Once we save up twenty thousand points, the Holy Sword will return once more into human hands. Let’s do our best, Kachua-san!”

With the clue to the Holy Sword finally in his grasp, Bernhardt spoke with an impossibly radiant smile.

In contrast, Kachua had gone pale.

“…It’s impossible.”
