The Joint Mission is the ninety-seventh chapter of the Didn't I Say To Make My Abilities Average In The Next Life?! light novel.

Summary

 * The next day the Crimson Vow and the Wonder Trio set out as a joint team and took on dailies or gathering requests. Their contest would take place over three days and two nights and Mile was to not help with side. The Crimson Vow trio started off the trip by forgetting that they couldn't use Mile's storage so they did not have anything besides their weapons.


 * On the first day of hunting and gathering, the Crimson Vow hunted at least one Jackalope and 4 Ogres while the Wonder Trio hunted at least 3 Orcs. The Crimson Vow had to skip lunch and only ate unseasoned meat that they hunted that day for dinner before sleeping on some grass. The Wonder Trio on the other hand had lunch supplies and ate seasoned meat and herbal tea for dinner before sleeping in waterproof blankets.


 * On the second day of hunting and gathering, the two groups decide to show off their close combat skills. The Wonder Trio start off by showing their ability to take down 4 goblins without using magic. This blew away the Crimson Vow's expectations and they were not able to match their skills. Anything that either group couldn't carry themselves was stored in Mile's storage as not to waste resources.


 * On the third day, both parties were loaded up with sandbags to approximate their spoils and they started to head back to the royal capital. Once they were back at Lenny's Inn the conversation about Mile's future started up again.

Errata

 * They had never faced assassins, bandits, or nobles’ personal guards. Thus, they had hardly any combat experience fighting other humans…though humans… though they were fairly sure that their unusual brand of magic probably would give them an advantage when they needed it.
