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 86

【Monster Points: 1,100 Points Achieved! Congratulations! You’ve received the Pot of Good Fortune! *Beware of imitations.】

The next gift was a metal pot, about the size to fit in both hands.

It wasn’t particularly large, but not small either.

It was an awkwardly inconvenient size.

And more than anything—

“Whoa, this is so suspicious—”

Kachua couldn’t help but shout.

“A pot of good fortune, huh…”

It was a slightly dull golden color, but the material wasn’t gold—probably brass or something similar.

It didn’t look valuable at all, and seemed pretty much useless just from the appearance.

The status board popped up with another beep and displayed new information.

“The pot can also be used as a trash bin!”

…Did I really need to know that? Kachua thought.

Judging by the size, it didn’t look like you could fit much in it.

And can you really put trash in a pot that’s supposed to bring good fortune?

“Does anyone want this?”

Kachua asked everyone in the team, but nobody said they wanted it.

It looked really suspicious but it was a present from the gods.

Reluctantly, Kachua put the Pot of Good Fortune into her eco bag.

With her excitement at rock bottom, the final message appeared.

【Monster Points: 1,200 Points Achieved! Congratulations! As a commemoration, the effect of the 『Secret Whistle for Summoning the Informant』has been recharged! You can summon an informant who knows everything about dungeons! Try it out!】

The effect of the whistle, which could summon an informant extremely knowledgeable about dungeons, had been recharged.

She could call an informant by blowing the whistle, but since she was tired today, she decided to save it for another time.

＊＊＊

As dawn broke, the『Ring of the New Moon』was finally completed.

“It’s done.”

With those words, Board handed the shining silver ring to Og.

“This is… the Ring of the New Moon…”

Og, a bit nervous, placed the Ring of the New Moon in his palm.

“This ring has the effect of suppressing the full moon’s destructive urges in wolf beastmen. Playing under the moon is a wolf beastman’s instinct. It’s not a bad thing. But if you ever can’t control the urge to attack someone, just use this ring.”

Board said this to Og.

Dwarves and beastmen are both demi-human races, a little different from humans.

They have values that are different from humans.

“I understand. Thank you very much.”

Og squeezed the Ring of the New Moon tightly.

“And you, young lady—”

After working at the forge for so long, Kurt was completely worn out and Board also looked pretty tired, but still, Board reached out toward Ann.

“Let me see your spear.”

“That’s a hard no.”

Having nearly had her spear stolen by Neoro earlier, Ann flatly refused.

“I’m not going to take it. That spear of yours… it’s fought against something really evil, hasn’t it?”

At Board’s comment, Ann caught her breath.

“How did you know that?”

“Let me see the spear.”

This time, Ann quietly handed her spear to Board.

Board carefully examined the spear and then pointed to a spot on the shaft. “Just as I thought. See here, there’s a scratch?”

“Where, where?”

Kachua peered in and saw there really was a scratch on the shaft.

“Astral Stone is a growing stone—the more you use it, the stronger it gets, making it the ultimate weapon. Normally, it would heal scratches with its self-repair function. But this was made by a powerful weapon of darkness and it can’t be fixed through self-repair. It’s not going to break right away, but if you leave it like this, it’ll become a big problem.”

Board spoke with a serious expression.

“So what should we do? Board-san, can you fix it?”

At Kachua’s question, Board answered regretfully,

“I can’t fix it right now. I don’t have the skill or the materials.”

“When you say『right now』, does that mean you could fix it if you had what you needed?”

Bernhardt asked.

“Yeah, once I become a first-class blacksmith, I can do it. If I become first-class, I’ll have a line on the materials too. This is a village where second-class and below blacksmiths aiming to become first-class live. The village where the first-class blacksmiths live is somewhere else entirely.”

“We don’t know where that is, either” Kurt added from the side.

“Apparently, near the first-class blacksmiths’ village, there’s a cave called the Cave of a Thousand Ores. If you use Celes Stone from there, it should be possible to repair a wound caused by darkness.”

“So basically, Ann’s spear can’t be fixed unless Board-san becomes a first-class blacksmith.”

“No, that’s not necessarily the case. You’re all from the labyrinth city, Loa, right? Most of the dwarf blacksmiths living there are second-class but their masters are first-class or even special-class. If you have connections, they might be willing to take on the job. It wouldn’t hurt to ask.”

Maybe the wealthy Garfa family in the labyrinth city, Loa, had connections with the dwarves too, but Ann shook her head.

“I want you to be the one to repair it. Please become a first-class blacksmith before my spear breaks. I’ll help you.”

“I don’t need any help—I’ll become a first-class blacksmith on my own! …is what I want to say, but if you’re willing to cooperate, that helps a lot. To raise my rank, I’ll need to work with all kinds of materials and make items. If you come across any rare materials, pass them my way.”

“Of course, we’ll help” Bernhardt said. Kachua agreed as well.

“In that case, let’s give your spear some emergency treatment right away.”

“Emergency treatment?”

“Yeah, it’s not much, but it’s better than nothing. You all, bring me a Green Golem Stone. I’ve heard you can get one if you defeat a hundred Stone Golems on the thirty-ninth floor of this dungeon.”

“We already have one!”

Kachua and the others handed the Green Golem Stone to Board.

The Green Golem Stone is a bit rare but it’s an awkward ore with almost no real use.

They’d collected it hoping it might interest the dwarves, and now it finally turned out to be useful.

“So it actually had a purpose—”

“But what are you going to use it for?” Rick tilted his head and asked.

“The Green Golem Stone has a slight time-delay effect. I’ll use it to craft a protective band to wrap around the scratch, so the damage doesn’t spread any further.”

“I didn’t know you could use it like that.”

“It’s got limited uses, but for situations like this, it’s actually quite handy” Kurt added.

“As long as I have the materials, I can take care of it right away.”

Board quickly performed emergency repairs on Ann’s spear.

“There, that’s a relief. Still, you all have collected some pretty good materials” Board praised Gamma Team.

“Oh, it’s not that impressive—”

Gamma Team couldn’t help but feel pleased at the compliment.

“Hmm, with your skills, you might even be able to get that, too. But if that person over there is going to keep going forward, she might want to get a bit stronger” Board said, pointing at Kachua.

It was a truly spot-on piece of advice!

“Well, you’re not wrong…”

“In that case, you should look for an Anklet of Experience. It’s an accessory that raises your experience points just by wearing it. The effect isn’t huge, but as long as you keep walking, whether you’re in the dungeon or not, your experience will go up.”

“Oh, that sounds amazing.”

“To make an Anklet of Experience, you’ll need three materials: the heart of a Mechanical Giant Tortoise, a Mobius Ribbon and a Lucent Roc Feather. If you ever get those materials, come to me.”

“Got it.”

“Oh, Board-san, here, take this.”

Kachua immediately handed the Link Stone to Board.

With this, it would be much easier to visit the dwarf village.

“Thanks, I’ll take it.”

As the long night finally ended, Kachua and the others safely obtained the Ring of the New Moon.
