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 17: The Super Common Hero Summoning 15

Episode 17: The Super Common Hero Summoning 15

That said, I didn’t say it without any reason.

“I thought that maybe there are other people from another world who, like me, might get transported to the Forest of Demons. So I wanted to provide a safe route they could follow.”

“…But, it’s only because Maki-san is a special case that you survived. You have the Appraiser (Divine Eye). I think others with beginner classes would be killed off immediately, even if they are from another world.”

“That’s true; I also agree with my sister this time. It’s unlikely for special cases like Maki to appear frequently. And if the Shriden Kingdom finds out about things like the (Divine Eye), only those with regular beginner classes will probably be transported here.”

Both of their points were valid. But still, I wanted to save as many people from other worlds as possible. 

Even if the chances of survival were low, I wanted to take action if it could raise those odds even slightly.

“I don’t think the teleportation magic circle will move, so we can set up a signpost there to explain that this is the Forest of Demons. From there, we can also put up another signpost showing where the fruits that temporarily boost abilities are located.”

“But then, it will be left to luck whether anyone can reach them, right?”

“That’s how it will be. Ideally, some tools can be left to communicate with Granzawall. But there’s no such thing, isn’t it?”

“That’s right. In fact, if we had such magical tools, we would want to use them ourselves.”

Back in my world, I had smartphones. But bringing that up now wouldn’t change anything.

“That’s why we need the signposts. We’ll just set them up so it doesn’t matter if they get destroyed. And we’ll hire high-level adventurers to check on them from time to time. If they’re still standing, that’s great; if they’re broken, we’ll just put them back up again. If any otherworlders survive and manage to reach Granzawall, don’t you think this place will develop much more?”

Most otherworlders would probably arrive with beginner classes at level one.

However, if they level up, their ability stats should significantly improve even with beginner classes. It would compensate for their job-related disadvantages.

…Well, that assumption also includes my desire for my own ability stats to increase.

“…It’s an interesting idea. But the real question is whether there are any adventurers willing to take the job.”

“Are requests from the lord problematic?”

“We’re doing fine with lower-level adventurers. But seasoned adventurers or those with intermediate classes get snapped up by the guilds right away. So when we request them, they look down on us.”

“If that’s the case, we’ll go bankrupt before any otherworlders even arrive. We might even lose our territorial management to the Adventurers Guild.”

“…I see, the relationship has deteriorated that much.”

However, if that’s the case, it seems like it would be difficult to realize my plans.

Even if I were to make the request as an individual, I would likely be treated as an outsider. And there’s no way they’d believe me, even if I explained the situation.

The request only holds meaning if someone with influence makes it.

“But with Maki here, I feel like we can manage without needing high-level adventurers.”

“Wait, what are you talking about, Glenn?”

“…What do you mean?”

I had thought both of them had given up, but it seemed Glenn was considering something different.

“Think about it, nee-san. Maki’s Appraisal skill not only allows him to appraise the magical beasts in the Forest of Demons but also lets him do so without having to see them. Plus, if he wants to find something, he can guide us there. So we could potentially avoid the magical beasts and get to our destination, right?”

“Wait! That assumes that Maki-san is going into the Forest of Demons, doesn’t it?”

“Ehh, I was speaking with that assumption from the start. Besides, you wouldn’t know where the teleport location or the fruit locations are without me.”

As I casually stated this, Alicia seemed to realize it for the first time and turned bright red, looking down.

“…B-but, that doesn’t change the fact that it’s dangerous! Right now, Maki-san is at level 1!”

That’s the biggest problem.

I probably wouldn’t get permission from Alicia until my level increased.

“So, if my level goes up, would that solve the problem?”

“Of course! You should aim for at least level 15! Glenn, make sure to choose escorts who can absolutely protect Maki-san!”

“Got it, nee-san.”

“And Maki-san, this is a fundamental issue. But we need to keep the existence of the fruits that temporarily boost abilities a secret. So we can’t set up the signposts with the current information.”

“…Ah, that’s right.”

Alicia had a smug look on her face, as if she were getting back at me for her earlier oversight. I had completely forgotten about it since I was only focused on helping the otherworlders.

Glenn was watching me scratch my head with a wry smile. He then stood up, excused himself, and left the living room.

Now left alone, I decided to ask about Alicia.
