Chapter 8

"......Then, Rina. Place your right hand here......"

Tarl, who had moved to the side, urged Rina.

......I think both of us will be disappointed if it turns out that there's no magic...

"Not a saint" "Can't use magic"

......Just a normal person.

......You won't throw me away, right?

Well, I guess it's what it is......

Rina made a decision that was akin to resignation and placed her right hand over the appraisal orb.

A warm light illuminated Rina's palm, and she felt a slight warmth.

<Status>

Perfectly healthy

......but a bit overweight.

<Attributes>

Fire

Water

Wind

Earth

<Skills>

Appraisal etc.

......Huh?

......Huh...?

......Huh!?

Perfectly healthy. But a bit overweight.

......A bit......overweight......

What! You've got to be kidding, other world!

It's none of your business!

And a bit overweight? What kind of consideration is that!

If you're talking about me, don't write it down!

If you're being considerate enough not to write "fat," don't write it at all!

While she was fuming, a voice of amazement came from behind her.

"......This is quite rare."

"......Yes, indeed......"

Prince Schuel and Tarl let out a "hmm" sound. It seemed they could see the screen as well as Rina.

"......Overweight......is it?"

Rina asked in a tired voice.

There are no overweight people in this world, right?

I'm sorry for being like this.

"......Huh?"

The two of them echoed and looked at the status section.

<Status>

Perfectly healthy.

......but a bit overweight.

......Haha.

A stifled laugh escaped from both of them.

......No, that's not it!

This isn't what it's about.

Huh? Did I just embarrass myself?

......Ah, I see.

I see.

Embarrassed and flustered, Rina hung her head, and the two of them bowed to her.

"......We are very sorry."

......It's fine, really.

"The rarity I mentioned is in your magic attributes and skills."

Prince Schuel, regaining his composure, pointed at the screen and explained.

"......Huh."

To Rina, everything in this world was new.

Well, if I look at it again, there are a lot of magic attributes......or rather, magic?

......Huh? Magic?

"First, having four magic attributes is quite rare. And appraisal is wonderful."

"......Huh."

Rina was so surprised by the magic attributes that came with the appraisal that she didn't hear Tarl's words.

......Is this some kind of otherworldly bonus?

"Magic is rare, and having more than three attributes is even rarer."

Prince Schuel explained, seeing that Rina still didn't quite get it.

"......Huh."

I don't understand how impressive that is. I've never used it, and even if I could, what would I use it for?

"I'll explain about magic later, but appraisal shows different things for different people. Generally, it shows the name and description of an object."

Tarl explained and took a small vial from the small bag at his waist.

It's probably a potion.

A vial containing a pale green transparent liquid. I just got this on my hand recently.

"Can you look at this vial and say 'appraisal'?"

Tarl asked, and Rina, feeling a bit hesitant, said "appraisal."

[Low-grade Potion]

Apply to wounds or drink directly to heal injuries.

<Purpose>

Heals small cuts, scrapes, and minor injuries.

<Other>

Can be used as drinking water.

Not very tasty.

"......Huh? What's this......"

Rina was taken aback by the pop-up screen.

A transparent pop-up screen appeared overlapping slightly above the vial.

Okay! Mr. Tarl!

A weird game screen is showing up above the vial.

Rina shouted in her mind.

"......It seems you can see it. That's the appraisal magic."

Prince Schuel smiled instead of Tarl.

......Prince Schuel, can you please not smile at me like that?

I get a bit flustered when you do.

I can understand how my classmate who was obsessed with an idol felt a little.

"By the way, you can also appraise people, but it's an invasion of privacy, so it's better not to......"

Prince Schuel casually warned her.

......So, can you tell if you're being appraised?

"......People with high magic sense can tell if they've been appraised."

Rina's inner thoughts must have shown on her face, as he added.

"......Huh. Is that so?"

I'm not interested, okay? I won't do it, just to be clear.

"That's right. And you won't be able to see people with better appraisal skills than you. In some cases, you might get caught......"

Prince Schuel smiled even more meaningfully.

......Yeah. That's dangerous, huh?

"......I'll be careful."

Rina laughed nervously.

I've never appraised anyone, so I don't know, but there are things you shouldn't see.

If I want to live a long life, it's wise not to. Or rather, I don't really care about living a long life.

By the way, as a beginner, I was saying "appraisal" out loud, but I was told that with practice, I could use it without incantation. I found it interesting and started appraising everything on my way back to the room, almost appraising Prince Schuel.

"......No, Rina?"

Prince Schuel said kindly, but my spine froze.

"I am very sorry."

I bowed deeply and apologized.

......Prince Schuel is scary.

A smile can be scary. I learned that the hard way.

By the way, Prince Schuel couldn't be appraised at all by the appraisal magic.

......Yeah. That makes sense, doesn't it?
