I’m an Appraiser, But What the Heck is a [Divine Eye]? ~I Want to Live Freely as the World’s Best Beginner Class~ - Episode 13: The Super Common Hero Summoning 11

Episode 13: The Super Common Hero Summoning 11

““…W-We sincerely apologize!””

As lunchtime rolled around, both of them apologized in unison.

“Well, I was careless too, even if it was to make you believe me. It’s common not to step into the Forest of Demons, after all.”

Even though Granzawall was a frontier city, it was built primarily to deal with the magical beasts that overflow from the Forest of Demons, not for the purpose of exploration. The Forest of Demons is recognized worldwide as a place filled with mysteries.

“The magical beasts that overflow from the Forest of Demons are the ones that have been eliminated. Still, their levels are high, and they remain a threat to us.”

“Therefore,all of the adventurers operating from Granzawall have high levels, but still, no one dares to step into the Forest of Demons.”

“That’s only natural. Who in their right mind would consider going into a place where levels of 50 or 60 are the norm? Their stats were on another level entirely, and it’s a miracle that I survived at all—”

“Did you appraise the stats of the magical beasts in the Forest of Demons?!”

…Glenn, please don’t lean in like that.

“…Glenn, we’re in the middle of lunch right now. If we keep this up, it’ll end up like before.”

“Ah! …S-Sorry, Maki.”

“No, it’s fine. However, judging by your reaction just now, it seems that it really is strange.”

“…Yeah, it is. The magical beasts in the Forest of Demons, as Maki mentioned, are high level. That’s why a corresponding level is needed for the Appraisal skill.”

If the level of the Appraisal skill is low, it seems that one cannot appraise strong magical beasts or rare materials. This is similar to the Appraisal skills you see in light novels.

“In fact, I couldn’t make sense of the grape I just appraised earlier.”

“Eh! …That grape was an incredibly rare fruit!”

“I’ve never heard of food that boosts stats, even if only temporarily.”

“But that’s why we have to be careful about whether to release information.”

“Why? Isn’t something valuable precisely because it’s rare?”

If this information gets out, adventurers would likely be more active. And above all, I thought that the country would take the lead in investigating the Forest of Demons. But it seems that’s not the case.

“When the country takes action, people move. When people move, supplies move. But Granzawall doesn’t have the supplies or facilities to accommodate a large number of people.”

“Moreover, information spreads quickly once it’s out in the open. There’s no telling that overconfident adventurers won’t charge into the Forest of Demons.”

“…I see. So if that happens, the death toll would rise, and it could serve as a deterrent, leading the country to refrain from taking action?”

“I don’t think the country would hesitate just because of the lives of adventurers, but the possibility isn’t zero.”

“That’s why it’s important to think about where and how to release information.”

It’s often said that you can’t shut people’s mouths, and it seems that holds true in any world.

“Hmmm, then I guess there’s nothing I can do to repay you two.”

““…Huh?””

“…Eh?”

Why are you two questioning me? I definitely want to repay you for all the help you’ve given me.

“Because you helped me when I was about to be turned away, and you let me stay and even fed me! If there’s anything I can do, I want to give something back!”

“But I only wanted to help you because you’re a fellow otherworlder like my ancestors. I did this because I wanted to, nothing more.”

“I feel the same way. Besides, I wanted to get to know Maki better.”

Even though they both say they don’t need anything, I still want to do something for them.

“Hmm… Oh! Then I guess I’ll start working as an adventurer here!”

“No, that’s—”

“Maybe it would be better to stop…”

“Eh? Why?”

When I tilted my head in confusion, they both answered at the same time.

““Because you’re level 1.””

“…Ah, I see.”

Well, maybe it’s not common to hear about a level 1 adventurer. Also, becoming an adventurer as an Appraiser might not be the norm either.

Still, I have feelings beyond just wanting to help them; I want to enjoy this world. Becoming an adventurer is one way to do that.

“Then, if I level up, will it be okay?”

“But you’re an Appraiser, you know.”

“…No, maybe it’s possible, Sister.”

“What do you mean, Glenn?”

In contrast to Alicia-san’s opinion, I found a glimmer of hope in his opinion.

And the answer was worthy of fulfilling my wish.

“Because—our ancestor, who was also from another world, was originally an Appraiser.”
