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 46: The Super Common Hero Summoning 42

Episode 46: The Super Common Hero Summoning 42

While everyone was still processing the shock, the first to regain composure was Alicia, who knew I was from another world.

“…B-But, according to your story, the remaining individuals should be intermediate class or higher, right?”

“That’s true, but if they encounter someone troublesome, it’s only natural for them to deal with it.”

“I see… that could certainly be the case.”

“My Appraisal skill states that the emergency mission is [Rescue the Otherworlder!]. Until now, I had choices. But this time it displayed as an order.”

I could probably ignore it. It might be more certain to help Alicia and the others that way.

However, for some reason, I felt that if I ignored this order now, it would remain a lingering regret within me.

“…Everyone, this is my selfish request, but can you lend me your strength?”

I felt like Alicia would nod in agreement. But the other three wouldn’t feel the same.

Especially Ryan-san, who was meeting me for the first time toda. He would prioritize protecting Alicia, the lord.

In the worst-case scenario, I might have to go rescue my classmates alone.

“I’ll help Mihiro!”

“I’ll join you too!”

“If my subordinates are going, then it wouldn’t be appropriate for me, as their superior, to run away.”

“Everyone… are you sure about this?”

I was taken aback by their immediate responses and ended up asking back.

However, hearing their answers made it feel like the most natural thing.

“Because…”

“Alicia-sama, our lord…”

“…is eager to go!”

“Let’s go, Maki-san!”

Seeing Alicia, full of determination, I couldn’t help but laugh.

Then, I bowed my head and expressed my gratitude to the four of them.

“Thank you! Well then, let’s each eat the necessary fruits before heading out. Since magic was used, there should be magical beasts there.”

And with the sound of that explosion, it wouldn’t be surprising if even more magical beasts had gathered.

Alicia and I ate bananas followed by grapes, while the three soldiers had grapes and apples. 

The apples were bigger than the grapes, making it seem like they were having a hard time eating them. But since they needed to double their abilities to fight the magical beasts in the Forest of Demons, it couldn’t be helped.

However, quite some time had passed since I was transported to the Forest of Demons. The fact that someone was transported again at this point likely meant something went very wrong.

(Who could be so reckless as to get transported like that? Were there any delinquents in the same class?)

…Thinking about it, I couldn’t come up with anyone.

There was no way the four with special-class professions would come. And if they could easily be discarded, it would likely be the intermediate class individuals.

“…Well, I guess we’ll find out when we get there.”

Helping wouldn’t put me at a disadvantage. If it did, I wouldn’t help anymore from then on.

“Maki-san, we’re ready!”

“Alright, let’s go!”

I followed the directions and ventured deeper into the forest.

There were no signs of magical beasts around, and it seemed they were starting to gather toward the location of the earlier explosion.

Even if we were to help, we might first need to eliminate or ignore these magical beasts to get through.

…Speaking of which, I wondered what the success rate was for this mission. It didn’t seem like it would still be at the 10% it was earlier. So I decided to check.

“…W-What is this display?”

In the previous strategy, only one probability was displayed.

However, this time, two extreme numbers appeared.

(Zero or a hundred? This is definitely a situation where failure is not an option.)

As I scratched my head and continued following the instructions, I noticed more and more magical beasts coming into view.

I wanted to check whether defeating or ignoring the magical beasts would yield a higher success rate, but… hey, what’s going on here!

“Whether I choose one or the other, it’s either zero or a hundred… that means our actions will decide everything!”

At the same time, it also meant that everyone’s lives depended on my choice!
