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 14: The Super Common Hero Summoning 12

Episode 14: The Super Common Hero Summoning 12

The Appraiser is one of the beginner-class professions and not suited for combat. Is it because the ancestors of the two who came here before me were Appraisers like me that they were exiled from the Shriden Kingdom? But what does Glenn mean by that?

“But Glenn, it’s because our ancestor was special that they could fight as an Appraiser, right?”

“Sister, sister. Maki is that special one!”

“…Ah! Y-You’re right.”

…Hmm? The way you guys are saying that implies you think being an otherworlder allows an Appraiser to fight.

“…Could it be that otherworlders have higher stat growth than people from this world?”

““W-Why do you know that?!””

“Just as I thought.”

There are stories like that in light novels. Still, if an otherworlder Appraiser can grow strong enough to fight magical beasts, I wonder how powerful my classmates and teachers—who are not even beginner classes—would become.

…Well, I’ll be able to confirm that in due time. The Shriden Kingdom wouldn’t easily dispose of valuable combatants, and they’d likely send them to the battlefield only after leveling up to a certain point.

“…What’s wrong?”

“No, it’s nothing. So, I can level up and potentially be able to fight to some extent, right?”

“That’s a possibility. But even on the opposite side of the Forest of Demons, in your current state, you’d be wiped out instantly.”

“Still, looking at it differently, if I can defeat even one of them, I could level up quickly, right?”

Leveling up by defeating weak enemies is certainly one of the thrills. But I also think it would be interesting to defeat a strong enemy while still weak and grow rapidly. …Actually, I might prefer it that way.

“I would appreciate it if you could introduce me to any competent adventurers you know.”

“Competent adventurers, huh…”

“Hmm, that’s a tough one…”

“Eh, really?”

Even though there may not be any trustworthy individuals, I thought the lord of Granzawall would have connections with adventurers. But it seems that’s not the case.

“Actually, while we do manage the city, the management of adventurers is entrusted to the Adventurers Guild by the country.”

“But wouldn’t that create friction? Especially in a place like Granzawall, where adventurers protect the city?”

The soldiers stationed at Granzawall should also be involved in defeating the magical beasts overflowing from the Forest of Demons. But that alone wouldn’t be sufficient. Adventurers would be the ones to help out. But if the management is split between the lord and the Adventurers Guild, various issues are bound to arise.

“Well, that’s true.”

“In fact, individual adventurers often have higher levels than the soldiers. Honestly, we tend to yield more often in such matters. It wasn’t like that when my parents were alive, though.”

“I see… Then, it seems I should probably give up on becoming an adventurer.”

Well, I’m adding the caveat that it’s only in Granzawall.

“…No, I’ll arrange for an escort who can accompany you to level up. Plus, there’s no need to give up on becoming an adventurer.”

“But wouldn’t that mean I would be in opposition to you two?”

“Hahaha, we have no right to restrain you, Maki. Besides, that Appraisal skill would likely be more useful once you become an adventurer.”

“…I guess that’s the case. Then, I’ll prepare what you need to become an adventurer, Mihiro-san.”

“Glenn, Alicia-san….”

Having heard this far, I never expected them to arrange for adventurers and help me prepare to become one. …I really need to repay this somehow.

“What do you plan to do from here?”

“If you two have time, I still have a lot of questions and would like to talk more.”

“Then I’ll ask the questions. Nee-san has her duties as the lord, after all.”

“Oh, Glenn. I’ve already finished my work ahead of schedule, so I have plenty of time! You, on the other hand, don’t you still have work left as an Appraiser?”

“I wrapped everything up yesterday. After all, it’s for Maki!”

“…Um, both of you?”  

For some reason, the two of them started glaring at each other and exchanging words. I sensed that I was somehow the cause. But I had no idea why, so I couldn’t stop it.  

“Enough! I’ll explain, so you should just step back, nee-san!”  

“No, I will explain, so Glenn, you step back!”  

“Um, Alicia-san and Glenn, please calm down—”  

“First of all, why are you calling Mihiro-san by his first name?! And without any honorifics!” 

“Hmph! Yesterday, Maki and I deepened our friendship as men!”  

“W-What do you mean!?”  

No, it’s more like we just decided how to call each other!  

“Grrr! Mihiro-san!”  

“Yes! What is it?”  

“C-Can I also call Mihiro-san… um, Maki-san?”  

“…Y-Yeah, that’s fine?”

“Ah, thank you!”  

It’s amazing how just changing the way of addressing someone can bring such a bright smile….Yeah, she’s incredibly beautiful.  

“Well then, please call me Alicia too!”  

“But you’re the lord, right? It feels wrong to call you without any honorifics—”  

“Alicia!”  

“…O-Okay, I understand, Alicia.”  

You’re too close! You’re too close, Alicia!  

“Uhehe, thank you.”  

“Now then, we need to decide who will talk with Maki—”  

“Ugh! If you both have time, why don’t we just all talk together!”  

““…That’s a good idea!””  

In the end, when I suggested that loudly, they both nodded in agreement with satisfied expressions.  

…I mean, why didn’t I realize that from the beginning!
