Question 1. Are you getting more chances to interact with your son or daughter?
MMMMMORPG Questionnaire
Um... "Little by little, but yes, we do seem to be getting closer."
LITTLE BY LITTLE, BUT YES, WE DO SEEM TO BE GETTING CLOSER
Question 2. What did your son or daughter say to you that made you happy?
"He said my mommy is the best."
I don't remember ever saying that...
I told her how you feel when you weren’t around. Be grateful!
I'll have you arrested for perjury.
For now, I should teach her how to type in non-capital letters...
Ah! Monsters have appeared!
This is our chance!
Mom's busy with the survey,
so let's work together and win the day!
Oh my! Monsters!
There we go.
Um, are all fights for this party...
Yup, they're all like this.
My mom always one-hit-kills everything.
Excuse me for a moment.
I don't want to blame Mamako,
but my plan to make everyone love me as the party healer is ruined!
We can see your dark power leaking from here.
But, well, I understand how Medhi feels.
Another! And another!
We need to find a way to get stronger.
Stronger than any foe, and stronger than my mom.
What's this?
New tower dungeon, now open!
Anyone who completes it will be granted any wish they desire!
A scam, huh?
Whoa, There's a Pressure Plate in a Place Like This. Well, I'm Not Stepping On It. No, I'm Saying I Won't!
I knew it was a scam, but I came anyway.
Let's see, what did it say?
“Walk across the pier in the port city of Ommym, and you'll see...”
That tower dungeon is huge!
I can't even see the top!
How many floors do you think it is?
I sure hope there's an elevator.
It wouldn't be much of a dungeon if you could just take the elevator.
Oh, you're adventurers, right?
Hey, can you help me find my kid? He left the inn and hasn't come back.
Me, too! We were planning on conquering the dungeon as mom and son,
but he got mad, pitched a fit and ran off.
So did mine! Did he go to the tower alone?
Eh? What's going on here?
Wh-What is all this?
I don't understand what's going on!
At times like this...
We need to ask her for an explanation!
Oh, she's here, too!
It's surprisingly heavy!
Now then. Now then. Now, now then...
Time to use my revival magic.
Here I go!
Spara—
Spara la Magia bel mirale!
Rianimato!
REVIVE
M-Medhi!
This was my one chance to finally do something!
I'm the healer, so I thought it was my job.
Greetings, everyone.
It's me, your favorite coffin-loving informant, record holder for most deaths.
I inform you that I am Shirase.
Good morning!
Another death by bug? There's too many of those in this game.
But this time, the bug saved me.
Actually, those mothers came to me, as well.
But I'm a GM, not a player.
I can't do an event that's designed for players.
And so...
You solved the problem by dying?
It's strange, though.
I wasn't told about an event like this. We need to find out what's going on.
Let's go!
Hello, tower dungeon!
Let's get to clearing it!
For now, just help me with the investigation.
You don't have to go further than the lower floors.
Forget the lower floors, let's head all the way to the top!
And then I'll have my wish granted!
I'll show the world that I can be greater than my mom,
and to weave tales of me, the overpowered hero!
Hey, sorry to interrupt your fun, but can I say something?
I'm a Sage, right? A Super-Sage!
So I can use a special ability to see the future a little.
A special ability like that belongs to a failure like you?
Wow!
She's making it up, guys.
Alright, just watch me tell your future, then.
We head into the dungeon, right?
Then Mamako's swords will make our work easier, right?
And then when you get to the part where you have your wish granted...
I want to be overp—
Oh, right! I'm out of eggs for tomorrow's breakfast, so I'd like eggs!
Don't scare me like that!
It's okay, Ma-kun!
Mommy will make sure she only asks for fresh eggs!
I'm not worried about the eggs!
Mom, keep your mouth shut in there! Got it?
Okay, let's all watch as my prophecy becomes true!
This tower is named "The Solo-Killing Tower."
So it's deadly for solo players, huh?
You can't beat it without a large party?
Then we can't clear it on our own?
Correct. You'll need to work with other test players and NPCs to clear it.
Look, monsters!
Don't worry. Mamako will just rip them apart.
No, I can't do that.
You finally understand, Mom?
That your son is the star of this adventure!
They say you're not supposed to kill any spiders you see in the morning, right?
Why?
Some people say they're supposed to be a sign of good luck.
But I think that doesn't apply to monsters...
And look! They're actually really cute!
See?
Now she's friends with them!
When you were a kid, you loved the swings, too!
Is that...
It was an HP recovery square!
We hadn't lost any HP to begin with.
But I recognize this from all the video games I've played!
You step on one, too, Porta!
Okay! I pick this one!
Exit Key
I got the exit key!
We can use this to get out of the dungeon instantly!
This is all good stuff!
Okay, I'll take this one! It's gotta be a boost to magic!
Come on! Come on!
That's a magic sealing trap. And every step on it increases its duration.
Huh?
Wise, allow me to take over!
With Wise out of the picture, I'll be this party's only caster.
Now I can have the spotlight to myself!
Hey, Medhi!
Don't worry.
There are traps in the dungeon which dispel bad status effects.
Also, its effects only last within the dungeon.
Would you stop making that "Tch!" sound with that pretty face of yours?!
They're best friends now, huh?
What does this mark mean, then?
Oh, that?
It would be best if you stepped on that one.
Understood. Alright, then...
Hey, Mom, hold up! You should ask what it does first!
Don't worry. It's something that will help you a lot in your attempts to clear this dungeon.
And it's something that you, personally, will appreciate.
I've got a horrible feeling...
Here I go!
Huh?
The wind will allow you to jump up to the next level.
Go on after her, everyone.
Please, no more...
This isn't a reward. It's a nightmare.
Someday, you'll understand.
How wonderful pantyhose are...
That's not what I'm thinking about!
I'm surprised there are still people trying to climb the tower.
But from the size of your party, you don't seem to know how this dungeon works.
Such fools.
Hey, you okay?
I-I'm fine! I didn't trip.
Oh, okay.
So, who are you?
Does it matter?
I am one of the Four Fiends of the rebel group Ribele,
Amante, the Betrayer of Mothers!
But there's no rule that says I have to tell that to everyone I meet.
You just did, though.
Yeah, you did.
Is there any way you could tell us a little more?
You think I'm going to tell you anything?
I'm not telling you that the rebel group "Ribele" is a group of kids who've rebelled against the mothers.
You just told us.
Yeah, you did.
All the adventurers in town already joined my group.
But I guess a few more wandered in.
Oh no! Are you...
Oh, hello!
I'm Mamako Oosuki! Ma-kun's mommy!
There's someone in my party who says who she is when she shouldn't, too...
Is she the real Mamako Oosuki?
Hey! What's wrong?
I'm really scared of Mamako Oosuki! But I won't tell you that!
They can't clear the tower with a small party like that,
but I need to retreat and come up with a plan!
Lady Amante, are you okay?
We'll clear the dungeon before you do!
What was that about?
We learned important information.
Let's head back outside.
Ms. Porta, please use the key you found earlier.
Okay!
Ta-dah!
I will inform you of the truth. This situation was not anticipated.
What you just saw was not an in-game event, but a serious problem.
The mothers were looking for their missing children.
Those children were the ones we saw in the tower.
I recognize several of their faces from the player database.
They must have left their mothers to join the rebel group Ribele.
And the one leading them is...
One of the Four Fiends, Amante, the Betrayer of Mothers!
We've known for a while now that someone is trying to cause problems between families.
We can assume that the rebel group Ribele, and that girl we saw, were behind what we've seen.
So they gathered enough kids, who are rebelling against their mothers, for the dungeon?
Which means...
They're not all just sitting in a circle, complaining about their mothers, are they?
They want to get to the top of the tower and get a wish of theirs granted.
And that wish must be...
It must be something evil if the bad guys are wishing for it.
We have to do something about this!
Okay, let's rise up against evil!
Let's do our best so that the kids can go back to their mommies.
Isn't this where the hero's party stops the bad guy's plans and saves the world?
As a mom, I'd be more worried about my child running away than the fate of the world.
But you know...
Mamako's right.
We can start with getting the kids back, right?
Without enough people, they won't be able to beat the dungeon,
and we can stop their plans that way.
I think so, too!
Me, too. I think it's fine.
Well, it's more a question of my motivation...
But if we want to get them back, we need to get to the floor they're on.
And that means we need more people.
What do we do?
I inform you that you should make a guild and recruit members.
Come, come, come, come.
Please use this guild.
Enter Guild Name
Name it anything you like.
Th-This is our guild?
With MomMY Guild
Look, Ma-kun! I was able to type the small letters like you showed me!
With MomMY Guild REGISTERED
She already named it!
And she still typed it wrong!
Good morning, Ma-kun. It's time to get up.
Just let me sleep a little more...
Oh dear, that's a problem.
Wait! I know just what to do!
Kiss!
Wh-What the...
That's the special skill, "Mother's Wake-up."
It can bring someone out of a coma instantly!
Thanks for the meal.
But you know...
This place is a mess. Is anyone really going to join this guild?
I'm sure it will be fine.
Mommy will do her best to make sure they feel welcome.
It's a guild, not a hotel.
Oh right, I remembered one more thing to inform you of.
What's that?
I've given you a small present to celebrate the founding of your guild.
It should be in your item storage. Please use it to make your guild a fun place.
I leave the rest to you.
I must leave to investigate this rebel group.
What does she mean by "present?"
Master, if you want something, come out and say it!
I always wanted to say that.
Master, I'll do anything you want me to.
Um! Um! Master! Just leave it to me!
With the exception of Porta, I can't help but stare!
Maybe Shirase's better than I gave her credit for.
The size is perfect.
All she had to do was make the chest as flat as possible.
Medhi, let's take this outside.
Masato, what did you get?
The same thing you did. I think she hates me.
Which means your mom also...
Oh my! Such cute maids!
Huh? That's your usual outfit.
Ahem...
In order to minimize the mental strain on her son, I forbid my mom from wearing cosplay.
That's no fun!
I wanted to wear the same outfit as her.
I was looking forward to seeing your reaction.
I'm not here to entertain you.
Also, please show a little more concern for me...
With all these cute maids, the With Mommy guild has a bright future!
Let's all do our best!
Okay, Guild Momaster!
Let's get to work.
Our goal is to recruit more people, but...
First we need to repair our home base!
Let's be sure to make a good first impression!
If I have crafting materials, I can use my item creation skill to repair and improve our guild!
Okay, let's split up to be more efficient!
One group can go shopping, another can clean!
I'll do my best!
Making them feel welcome is most important!
Okay, Guild Momaster!!
Momaster is a hard word to say, right?
Be back soon!
Welcome!
There's all kinds of building materials here!
How about this wall? This one's great, too!
Do you think Mamako would like this one?
Yes, I do!
And my job is to carry the bags.
This one's perfect! This one too! Um... And this, and this! And this!
Since we have Porta's bag, I don't even need to be here.
I'm the hero, aren't I? The main character?
I think Ma-kun's room is a little cleaner now.
His bed's nice and fluffy now, too.
I was thinking. Do you really need to do all that?
I doubt he'll be using that room for long.
But right now, this is Ma-kun's room. His home.
I want to make sure it's nice and clean, and say, "Welcome home."
He may get mad at me for cleaning it without permission, though.
But that's something to be happy about, I'm sure.
Some moms don't get to say "Welcome home" to their children.
Mamako...
Oh! Perhaps Ma-kun and the others are back?
Ma-kun, welcome home!
Oh my!
We got so many wonderful things! I'm so satisfied.
Your smile alone is enough to satisfy me.
Now, where's the cash register...
Excuse me. Where's the laundry detergent and washboards? Take me there.
With all those people, it's hard to keep stocked up on necessities.
Oh, right. I need to get some heating pads, to get the swelling down in my butt and shins.
You're Mamako Oosuki's son and his party!
You must be taking it easy, if you're out here shopping.
Same to you.
Hey, Masato.
That girl seems to be treating her butt and shins after hurting them yesterday, but it's too late!
You there, maid!
Stop saying scary things like that!
Anyway, I've got news for you—
The bruises won't heal right, and you'll never feel confident in your body again.
For the rest of your life, you'll let out a sigh whenever you see your legs or butt.
Poor girl.
M-Medhi, that's enough!
For your sake, if nothing else.
Come on, Amante, it's okay now.
If you want to tell us something, go ahead. We're listening.
Forget it!
I'm not going to tell you that I sent an assassin to your base!
You sent an assassin?
To attack the With Mommy guild?
If that's true...
It's not really a big deal, is it?
Mamako is there.
I agree! She can take them down in one hit!
Yeah, you're right. With her there, it's not really a problem.
See ya! Be sure to put those heating pads on!
Hold it! If you underestimate Ribele, you're going to regret it!
Masato, Medhi, Porta!
Huh, Wise? Why are you here?
Hurry back to the guild! Mamako's going to lose!
Mom losing? No way.
Hurry! It's a really bad situation!
Ma-kun!
Mom!
#10 The With Mommy Guild Welcomes All! ...Wait, It's a Bunch of Uninvited Guests!
What am I doing, you ask? It’s mommy’s in-bed service!
