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 261: The Hero, the Sword Saint, and the Appraiser 2

Episode 261: The Hero, the Sword Saint, and the Appraiser 2

Shortly after Moriya visited my room, we all gathered at Alicia’s mansion.

Although Alicia expressed her deep concern for us, we decided not to change our plans.

“Please, everyone, do take care.”

“We’ll be fine, Alicia.”

“Yeah. We don’t intend to do anything reckless.”

“If these two try to act recklessly, I’ll stop them. So don’t worry.”

“Just going to the Rodgrul Kingdom is reckless, though.”

“Yuria-chan, you’re saying too much.”

Hmm, at least for this time, Yuria’s words might be correct.

If our goal was simply to enjoy our current freedom, there’d be no need to go all the way to Rodgrul Kingdom.

“Well, if a war breaks out, we’ll get caught up in it whether we like it or not. In that case, it might be easier to take the initiative.”

“That’s true, but…”

Alicia is such a worrier.

“If anything happens, we’ll send a Mail Bird. And if it gets dangerous, Moriya’s here to back us up, so don’t worry.”

“Huh? Am I really that reliable?”

“Of course you are. You’re a Level 100+ divine class, after all.”

Looking at his Magic stats alone, he’s a monster far beyond comparison with us. Plus, he can use Teleportation Magic. 

Although he hasn’t seen the Rodgrul Kingdom himself, making teleportation there impossible for now, he can quickly teleport back here if needed.

……….However, that also means Maria could potentially use teleportation to escape. Moriya didn’t consider that a major problem, though.

“Hey, Moriya. Do you really think Maria can’t teleport quickly?”

“I don’t think so. Teleportation Magic consumes a huge amount of mana. Unless someone has an extraordinary reserve, it’s tough to pull off.”

“I see. By the way, how much mana would it take to use it?”

Knowing a rough estimate would let me Appraise Maria and confirm.

“Well, it depends on the distance, but probably around 4,000 to 5,000.”

“…What? That’s a ton of magic power.”

“Exactly. In my case, I’m a bit special. So I use less thanks to my Magic Consumption Halving skill.”

As expected of the Mage (Divine Magus) of the divine class. Though, I’m curious about what mine does that makes it so special.

“Maki-kun, your Appraisal skill is just as extraordinary, you know? It’s something similar.”

Once he said that, I couldn’t argue back.

Even I understand how abnormal my Appraisal skill is.

“Even if this Maria girl has over 3,000 Magic stats, the distance she can teleport wouldn’t be very far. Unless she’s prepped a teleportation magic circle specifically for escaping, of course.”

“Wait, that means…”

“Well, Maki-kun can just Appraise her to uncover that. And whether you’re capturing or defeating her, your Appraisal skill should make it a non-issue, right?”

….No room for rebuttal.

“Still, if Maki-kun ends up splitting from the group and Maria or Kouya-kun shows up, it’d be dangerous. That’s why I’ll come along as insurance.”

“………….Did you really need to emphasize that here?”

“Well, it seemed like you weren’t fully convinced.”

“I am convinced! Besides, isn’t that why you came earlier?”

“Earlier? Did Maki-san and Taiku-sama have a chat about something?”

“Ahaha, nothing important!”

I was already convinced. But after being told that now, I’d have no choice but to bring him even if I weren’t.

“…Alright, let’s get going.”

“Yeah. First, we’ll head to the Post Town and proceed from there.”

“I haven’t been to the Shriden Kingdom before, so that’s the plan.”

“We’re counting on you, Moriya-san.”

“Everyone, please come back safely.”

And so, the four of us and two familiars departed from Alicia’s mansion as she and the others saw us off.
