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 94: A Life in Another World that is Far from Free 32

Episode 94: A Life in Another World that is Far from Free 32

Anyway, with a Luck stat of 100, Dietrich-sama confidently said that I might be able to encounter the Level Slime in just a day.

“By the way, Dietrich-sama, how long did it take you with your Luck stat of 30?”

“It took me ten days. I even stayed overnight for all ten of those days.”

“Overnight, you say… Um, may I ask His Majesty as well?”

“I don’t mind. It was a long time ago, so I don’t remember the details clearly. But with my Luck stat of 60, it still took me five days.”

“…Overnight as well?”

“Exactly.”

…It seems the Level Slime might be more troublesome than I expected.

But, wait, I have the Appraisal skill, don’t I? Well, it’s less of an Appraisal now and more like a completely different skill. It’s starting to feel like a search engine, like the ones we had back on Earth.

“Appraisal: Locate Level Slime.”

His Majesty and Dietrich-sama exchanged glances at my sudden words. While Alicia and Yuria just looked at me as usual.

…Hmm, I see… Wow, the Level Slime is really well-hidden.

“It seems the Level Slime has dug many decoy holes throughout the cave. And it doesn’t actually live in those. Instead, it’s hiding in a well-camouflaged, hard-to-find spot deeper inside.”

“…Wait, are you saying you just Appraised the location of the Level Slime?”

“Yes. I might be able to defeat it without staying overnight!”

“…….”

Both of them stared at me, dumbfounded. But I really want to avoid any unnecessary hassle. Plus, this is my skill, so it can’t be helped.

And while I’m at it, let’s check one more thing.

“Appraisal: Level Increase from Defeating the Level Slime.”

…Whoa… Seriously? That’s amazing, Level Slime.

“W-what’s wrong, Mihiro-sama?”

“Oh, sorry. I was just checking how many Level Slimes I need to defeat to level up. It turns out one is enough, so I was relieved.”

“Oh, I see. Yes, defeating just one Level Slime grants a lot of experience points. So that’s expected.”

“Right? Now I understand why someone would go to such lengths to defeat it. If I could gain two or three levels from two or three of them, that’d be great.”

“Haha, of course. You’d probably gain two or three levels just from one.”

“Haha. But it seems that my Appraiser (Divine Eye) skill doesn’t quite work that way, so it’s a bit tricky.”

“No, no, even for a special-class profession, you should level up quickly!”

“Hahaha! …Wait, what?”

…Huh? Did I just have a misunderstanding with Dietrich-sama?

“Uh, you will level up, right?”

“…Yes, I will.”

“How much will you level up from defeating one?”

“As I said, I’ll level up only by one. The experience requirements will keep increasing, so I’d be happy if I could level up again after the second or third one.”

“…Even for a special-class profession, you should level up all at once, though?”

“…I wouldn’t know about that.”

…No, no, staring at me in silence isn’t going to help here!

“Maki-san is an otherworlder! There’s a possibility that otherworlders require more experience points than usual!”

O-oh! Nice save, Alicia! Actually, I had considered that possibility from the start!

I completely forgot because everyone kept looking at me so questioningly.

“…Yes, that must be it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense—”

“Or, maybe Mihiro is just special?”

Whaaaat? Your Majesty, why are you throwing a wrench into this just when we were wrapping things up?

“You remember what I said about having some information regarding your Appraiser (Divine Eye), right?”

“Y-yes.”

“Well, it’s said among the royal family that professions with the ‘Divine’ title possess power that exceeds even special-class professions.”

“…Huh?”

A profession that surpasses even special-class jobs? Then… what exactly am I?

“I-I’ve never heard of this before, Your Majesty.”

“This knowledge is passed down only to the royal family and isn’t recorded in any documents.”

“So, then, what does that make me? Does this mean I’m, like, still in a beginner class or something?”

“No, it means you hold a profession that surpasses special-class professions—a divine-class profession.”

…Excuse me? Not special, but “Divine”?
