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 64

“What, a Companion Event triggered? A Team Mission?”

“Kachua-san, focus your mind strongly on the words 『Companion Event』. That should make the status board appear” Bernhardt instructed.

“Got it.”

Following Bernhardt’s advice, Kachua focused on the strange phrase that had suddenly appeared— 『Companion Event…』

Then, the status board appeared.

『Companion Event — When everyone’s hearts unite to accomplish a great mission, a new power is born.』

So it said.

Besides retrieving the Holy Sword, there was one other way to pacify the monsters: slaying the Black Dragon.

But it was an uncertain and difficult goal for Gamma Team, a C-rank team, to achieve.

Still, the moment they had decided to take on the Black Dragon, everyone’s hearts had become one.

It seemed that at that moment, the Companion Event had been triggered.

“What’s wrong?”

“Did something else happen?”

The rest of Gamma Team gathered around Kachua and Bernhardt.

Rick casually peeked at what Kachua was holding.

Then he suddenly panicked and pointed at the flyer.

“This paper—is this the flyer? I-I can see it!”

“Huh, why?”

Next, Og spoke up.

“I can see it too. Only the bottom part, though.”

“It’s probably because the Team Mission involves all of us in the team” Bernhardt explained to everyone.

“Everyone, try checking your own status boards.”

“But how…?”

Laura asked hesitantly.

Adventurers were taught that the mysterious status boards, which displayed information, couldn’t be seen even by the person themselves unless they had appraisal abilities—except for when a new message appeared.

But Bernhardt shook his head.

“If it’s your own status, it is possible to view it once you get the knack. Just do as I explained to Kachua earlier. Focus on wanting to see your status. The message should say 『Team Mission』.”

Gamma Team each solemnly focused their minds on their own status boards.

“Ah, I can see it.”

The first to speak up was Kachua, who had already been practicing.

On Kachua’s status board, it said—

『Team Mission No. 1 　Kachua’s Mission — Create 3 Puppets!』

That was what it said.

Following that was the message『2/3』. The first number was likely how many had been completed, and the second number was the total needed to clear the mission.

If『puppets』referred to the stuffed animals, then she had already made two of them, so those counted toward completion.

“If I repair one more stuffed animal, my mission should be complete, right?”

Next, Bernhardt spoke up.

“I can see mine too. It looks like I’ve already cleared my mission.”

Bernhardt’s mission was to『Defeat 300 monsters』.

Since the Companion Event had triggered, the team had gone dungeon exploring several times already.

And today Bernhardt had been slaying Stone Golems nonstop, so it seemed he had met the requirement.

“I have the same mission” Og said.

Og had also defeated more than a hundred monsters, so he would likely complete his soon as well.

“My mission is『Open 300 treasure chests and doors』.”

Rick’s mission was very fitting for a thief class.

Today’s map was an old castle, so there had been many treasure chests and locked doors.

Rick had already reached one hundred.

“It looks like mine will take a little longer”

Laura said.

Laura’s mission was to『Heal 300 times』.”

Lately, the team members hadn’t been getting injured very often, so Laura had only healed about twenty-six times so far.

But since she regularly went to the church on her days off and volunteered to cast healing magic there, she should be able to complete it if she worked hard.

“This mission seems surprisingly easy, considering the reward” Rick murmured.

“Since it’s Team Mission No. 1, the difficulty is probably set low” Bernhardt explained.

“………..”

While everyone chatted noisily, only Ann remained silent.

As a veteran, Ann should have been able to see her mission without even needing Bernhardt to explain how to view the status board…

Kachua called out to her.

“What’s wrong, Ann?”

“Why is everyone else’s mission so easy?”

The always-strong Ann now had tears in her eyes.

Kachua panicked.

“What? What happened? What is it?”

“What do you mean,『what is it』! My mission is—!”

『Ann’s Mission — Lose 3 Kilograms』

…That was what it said.

“「「「「Ahhh.」」」」”

All of Gamma Team except Bernhardt said it in unison.

“Impossible! There’s no way I can clear that!”

“You should be able to drop three kilograms pretty quickly” Bernhardt said, completely failing to read the mood.

“Easy for you to say!”

Ann glared at Bernhardt with all her might.

＊＊＊

After finishing that day’s dungeon exploration, Gamma Team headed first to the Adventurer’s Guild.

They had finally gathered the requested number of Strong Herbs for the designated quest they had accepted.

Strong Herbs were relatively easy to find once you went past the thirtieth floor of Dungeon Loa but the request was for a thousand bundles—a large amount.

They had gathered them over several trips, and now that they finally had the requested number, they were going to deposit them at the Adventurer’s Guild.

There were two ways to complete a quest—either handing the items directly to the requester or depositing them with the guild receptionist.

Many requesters preferred direct delivery, not approving guild deposit, because they wanted to check the items with their own eyes.

This time, though, the request stated that either method was fine—which meant Gamma Team must have earned the requester’s trust.

The requester’s name was Minerva Garfa. The daughter of the head of the Garfa Trading Company.

“Um, Gamma Team.”

As they entered the Adventurer’s Guild building and headed toward the reception desk, they were approached by a woman wearing a cape that hid her face, accompanied by someone else.

Her clothing was intentionally plain in color, but of fine, elegant tailoring. The woman next to her wore a knight’s uniform and had a gallant appearance.

“Oh, could it be…”

Minerva revealed just a glimpse of her face and greeted them with, “Good day to you all.”

Her face was now that of a human woman, different from the last time they had seen her.

Since it wasn’t good to keep talking while standing in the hall, they all went together into the Adventurer’s Guild lounge.

“This is perfect timing. We’ve just finished gathering the requested items”

Og said, handing Minerva the bundles of Strong Herbs.

“Thank you very much”

Minerva replied, receiving them with care and dignity.

“But, Minerva-san, what brings you to the Adventurer’s Guild?”

As a young lady from a prominent family, she normally wouldn’t have any business in a place like this…

“Jessica-san told me that Gamma Team usually returns at this hour, so I came hoping I might be able to meet you.”

It seemed Minerva had gone out of her way to come see Gamma Team.

“Ah, I see.”

“I just had to thank you all in person…”

As she said that, Minerva looked at Gamma Team with eyes full of gratitude.

“Thank you so much. As you can see, the beast transformation has been undone” she said, bowing deeply along with the female knight who served as her guard.

“You didn’t have to go to all this trouble.”

“Yeah.”

“Thank you for being so thoughtful.”

“I was wondering about it, so I’m glad we got to meet.”

After everyone had relaxed a bit, Og asked Minerva,

“By the way, what are you going to do with so many Strong Herbs?”

“It seems battles are breaking out frequently in the borderlands. I plan to make a thousand high-grade recovery potions and send them to the front lines.”

“A thousand?!”

“T-That’s an incredible amount.”

“Won’t that be difficult?”

“Yes, but since I studied pharmacy, I want to be of help in any way I can.”

Kachua’s husband, Alan, was currently in the borderlands.

Kachua choked up and bowed her head to Minerva.

“Minerva-san, thank you so much.”

“Excuse me.”

After a knock at the door, a male server entered the lounge.

“What would you like me to bring for drinks?”

“Protein shake.”

“Same here.”

“Me too.”

“Fresh water for me.”

“I’ll have royal milk tea—ah, Minerva-san, please order as well.”

“Thank you. I’ll have Darjeeling tea. Is that all right for you as well?”

“Yes, thank you very much.”

Everyone placed their orders.

And finally, Ann said,

“I’ll have a caramel frappuccino—with extra whipped cream.”

But then she suddenly froze.

“No… make that a black coffee.”

She corrected herself.

Her expression looked unusually sad.

Kachua couldn’t help but say,

“Ann, you don’t have to force yourself.”

“But… the Team Mission…”

Minerva tilted her head curiously.

“Team Mission?”
