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 93: A Life in Another World that is Far from Free 31

Episode 93: A Life in Another World that is Far from Free 31

From there, I began sharing the information I had learned. But no skills emerged that seemed immediately useful.

“Just as you said at the beginning, they were all lower-tier skills.”

“Still, just knowing that skills can be acquired later is a blessing in itself.”

“Going forward, we can experiment with young knights. If successful, we can integrate this into the training of children, expanding their future options.”

Expanding the children’s options is likely a genuine motivation. But from a national perspective, it’s also about securing military strength. …Or maybe thinking like that is a bit cynical?

After all, I’m talking to a king and his chancellor, the two who run this country. Of course, their decisions would involve some level of calculation.

“However, once you start thinking like that, you naturally want to know how to acquire mid-tier and high-tier skills as well.”

“That means raising Mihiro-sama’s level becomes our most pressing issue.”

“Ah… But my muscles are so weak that even a Bullfang bounces me off. On top of that, I seem to require more experience points than normal, right?”

I need to defeat 50 of the Bullfangs living near the Forest of Demons just to level up. Since there’s no way there are powerful magical beasts just roaming near the royal capital, how many would I need to hunt to level up? …Yeah, I don’t even want to think about it.

“Well, in that case, that is the only thing to do.”

“Yes, that is the obvious choice.”

“…What exactly is ‘that’?”

As I looked at the two of them, laughing and saying “that”, I could only feel an ominous sense of dread.

“Mihiro, could you head over to the Northern Cave for a bit?”

“We’ll provide a guard, so don’t worry.”

“No, no! Even if you say don’t worry, I’m still a guy with no means to fight!”

Yup, it’s the usual absurd suggestion! I could really die here!

“That’s why we’re providing you a guard.”

“Besides, there are no dangerous magical beasts in the Northern Cave, so you can rest assured.”

“…How many beasts do you plan on having me hunt?”

“If you’re lucky, just one. Of course, the more, the better.”

“…What do you mean by that?”

I can’t imagine that defeating just one magical beast would be enough to level me up. And it seems like the experience points required increase as the level goes up.

And naturally, stronger beasts would appear as my level increases, which would be far too much for me to handle.

“…Chancellor-sama, could it be?”

“Ah, I see Alicia-sama has caught on.”

“Huh? What? What’s going on?”

Could you guys stop having these secret understandings without filling me in?

“There are said to be magical beasts that yield a lot of experience points. However, their habitat is unknown, and many believe they’re just legends or rumors…”

“To the north of Angrissa lies land directly under the royal family’s control. There’s a restricted area there, and that’s where this magical beast makes its territory.”

“That’s incredible! So the royal family uses that area to level up, don’t they?”

Alicia seems excited about the existence of this legendary magical beast, but isn’t it a creature the royal family has been keeping a secret?

“…Are you sure you’re allowed to share this information with us?”

“No problem! I’m the one telling you, after all!”

“That’s how it is.”

Your Majesty, are you really sure about this?

“But there is one major issue.”

“And what’s that?”

“This magical beast, which we call a Level Slime, is extremely cautious and rarely appears.”

A Slime that gives lots of experience points, huh? It reminds me of a certain game… Yeah, I’d better not think about that.

(Note: Yeah, and the previous novel I just translated. What a coincidence too.)

“It doesn’t have a nest and runs away inside the cave at the slightest sign of human presence.”

“And how exactly am I supposed to find it?”

““By Luck, of course.””

“By luck!? …Wait, is it ‘Luck’?”

So, it all comes down to the Luck stats.

“Yes, the Luck stat. The royal family has relatively high Luck stats, so they don’t have too much trouble with it. But for most people, Luck is usually between 10 and 20. So it’s a challenge. Even I had a hard time when I was granted permission by His Majesty to hunt there.”

“Dietrich has a Luck stat of 30, which is fairly high. But he still struggled. So, Mihiro, what’s your Luck stat?”

Ah… you’re really going to ask? You’re in for a surprise. Hey, Yuria and Alicia, don’t turn your heads away now.

“My Luck stat is 100.”

“Oh, 100! That sounds like a rough time… wait, huh?”

“M-Mihiro-sama? Did you just say 100?”

“Yes, my Luck stat is 100.”

“”Wh-wh-WHAT THE HECK!?””

Yup, just as expected. Thanks for the reaction!
