“It’s there…..!”

After eating the fruit of evolution, as a result of searching all over the forest, I finally found a group of monkeys.

“Kie!”

“Kyakkyakkya!”

“Ukkie!”

If I look closely, it appears like they’re happily surrounding the fruit of evolution that I ate.

“…… Ah, let’s do an appraisal?”

I couldn’t afford it do it a while ago, since I didn’t care that much, but ……

But if I’m hidden in the bush like this now …….

I immediately tried using 『Appraisal』 on them.

『Clever Monkey LV: 120』

……ha?

Wa,wait a minute! The name Clever Monkey means, that it’s literally a 『Wise Monkey』. That’s fine, but……

Its level is strange!? It’s 120!? It’s excessively hard mode all of a sudden!? Far from level 1, what should I do with all my status 1 or 0 other than my magic power or being unmeasurable!?

When I was surprised at its ridiculous level, I paid attention to the behavior of one Clever Monkey.

“…… A’re, what is it doing?”

With something like a mortar, it seemed that its crushing a strange grass while mixing it with water.

And, the thing that was mashed to some extent, was stuffed into a glass container.

The color of the finished liquid was blue-green. It somehow looks bad for the body.

When I see that they use the tools dexterously, I think they’re really smart.

When I think of such a thing, suddenly, the Clever Monkeys began to move.

“Uki!”

“Ukyakya!”

“Kikii!”

Where are they going?

Should I follow them or not …… And as I see liquid that that they made earlier, and the place where the fruit of evolution was left unattended, I’m going to return to this place again.

“…… Then, for the time being, should I collect only the things that the Clever Monkeys left behind ……”

I, waited for the Clever Monkeys to disappear.

After confirming that all the Clever Monkeys have moved, I went to the place where the Clever Monkeys were.

“Fuu …… for the meantime, let’s collect all the fruits of evolution for food. “

I, put all the fruits of evolution that have fallen in my item box. When I counted it, it was nine in total.

I used the item box for the first time, but it’s convenient. If I think about the name of the item I want to put in, it seems that I can easily put it in.

“…… Come to think of it, He said that he has placed inside it a book about knowledge of another world, right?”

Hmm …… I want to confirm it, but I would be in a pickle if those monkeys came back. I’ll do it later.

“…… I’m more concerned about that, but what is this liquid?”

I picked up the bottle of blue-green liquid that seemed to be harmful to the body, which was made by that monkey.

“Uwa …… the closer I stare, the worse it looks ……”

There were, four bottles of liquid. Next to it, grass that seems to be the raw material of this liquid was also piled up. Or rather, where did they procure these bottles? No way, did they make it? That’s not possible …… is what I want to believe.

What this liquid is, is more important than such a thing.

“……For the time being, I like to try to appraise it?”

I activated my appraisal skill.

『Highest-grade Recovery Drug』

“Uoo!?”

I was surprised at the result.

This is a recovery drug!? Moreover, it’s the highest-grade! Why does it look bad rather than good for you!?

“We,well then …… what about this mountain of grass?”

I use appraisal again.

『Special Medicinal Herb』

I see! Its dorae〇n right!? (TN: Reference from the game Doraemon Story of Seasons – Herb Gathering with Sue)

“These are…… I’ll have to collect these.”

I, immediately put all the highest-grade recovery drugs and special herbs that were there in my item box.

“Amazing …… it was an unexpected harvest ……”

Clever Monkey …… they’re scary!

“I was able to collect quite a few, but…… perhaps, there are medicinal herbs around here as well?”

If that’s the case, I want to collect it as much as possible. As an insurance if something happens.

“It can’t be help …… I was able to collect the things I want for the time being, so let’s look for the herbs next time.”

I’m in this clever monkey’s territory. There may be other fruits and mushrooms near here!

I immediately left the place.

◇◆◇

“Hmm ……”

I, was pulling off the grass on the ground.

After that, as I pull out the grass randomly, I activate the 『Appraisal』 skill, and I checked if there was something I might be able to use.

But, it’s all just grass. It has no effect, and if I eat it raw, it’ll likely break my stomach.

But, now, I’m suffering in another situation.

“This…… what effect does it have?”

I finally found a grass that responded to 『Appraisal』. However, I was troubled by the result of the appraisal.

“…… I don’t understand, you see? It’s all like 『? 』…… “

All the results of the 『Appraisal』 were written as 『? 』. There’s no way I can understand it.

“It’s not garbled, so it’s still good, but…… what really is it?”

However, the fact that it responded to 『Appraisal』, I should expect some effect.

“…… All right!”

I decided to eat this grass.

It may break my stomach, but I still have to see what kind of effect it has before I can proceed. The status quo will remain for a long time.

To get something, you have to sacrifice something! …… I’m sacrificing my body.

However, it’s unavoidable in order to get information.

The worst part is that, when its effect is emitted at the time as it comes out later.

As I think that there might be poison……

“…… Yeah! The more I think about it, the more I won’t be able to eat it!”

Once you start thinking about it, a negative chain will occur. When I made up my mind, I put the grass in my mouth.

“…… niggeeeeeeeeee……”

It was absurd.

“Geho! Goho! It’s bitter, dammit! But this is good proof using my body!?”

The next moment.

“Gah!?”

Suddenly, my body stiffened and I couldn’t move!

“Agagaga”

Thi, this is …… was this a paralyzing grass!? I suddenly lost control……!

“Agaga ……”

The voice that came out of my mouth was also strange. Maybe I wasn’t in good condition when I stiffened, since my whole body simply hurts.

Such a state of mine continued for a while.

It’s dangerious…… when those monkeys or wolf come right now, there’s nothing I can do about it ……

However, whether it should be said that I was fortunate during my misfortune, no dangerous creatures appeared until the paralysis subsided.

“……Ah.”

I finally recover from the paralysis.

I’ve been paralyzed for an hour. There’s pain all over my body. I was anxious if those monsters would attack.

“I, I had a terrible experience ……”

When I was feeling dejected, suddenly, a strange voice echoed in my head.

『You have acquired the skill 《Paralyze resistance》 』

“Hah?”

What is, this voice? And what’s a skill?

I tried to open my status.

《Hiiragi Seiichi》

Level: 1

Magic Power: 17

《Equipment》School uniform below garbage. Student pants below garbage. Student shirt below garbage. Mosaic indispensable briefs

《Skill》Appraisal. Complete dismantling. Paralyze resistance

《State》 Evolution 0/1

It’s getting worse!? Crap…… my race, has begun to be doubted ……!

My gender was also further upgraded. In a bad sense!

I can’t judge whether my occupation became better or worse than last time!?

When it comes to charm, it went beyond unmeasurable!? I can’t help it anymore!?

I don’t want to tsukkomi any longer. Why am I shedding tears in my equipment and the names?

Certainly, I haven’t even taken a bath, so I think my body odor has been further refined. The fact that I’m dressed like this means, that my body odor inevitably soaked in it……

Besides, I’m very dirty with dust and filth, so it can’t be helped.

Well, I’ll leave it alone …… This 《State》 and evolution 0/1, what is it? I didn’t affirm it in my status before, but……

“…… Ah, that’s right. At this time, let’s check the contents of the skills.”

When I think of my skills, an explanation appears in front of me.

『Appraisal』……It’s possible to analyze a certain number of things in detail. However, items that boast a certain degree of rarity or more, and a superior opponent cannot be completely analyzed

『Complete Dismantling』 …… When you defeat a monster, you can get the maximum amount of items and all of the monsters’ possession will gather into you

『Paralyze resistance』…… Paralysis won’t work

Yeah, I can understand the explanation of 『Appraisal』 and 『Paralyze Resistance』 somehow.

However, I don’t quite understand the explanation of 『Complete Dismantling』. I understand that the number of items I can get will increase, but I don’t really understand about all of the monsters’ possession.

Moreover, what is this “Rarity” in the explanation column of 『Appraisal』? Well, I guess it’s written in the book I got from God.

“Hmm …… it’s full of mysteries …… after all, I don’t even know the name of this grass.”

While saying that, I tried to appraise the rest of the grass again.

『Special Paralyze Grass』…… The moment it is eaten and taken it into the body, this grass will completely paralyze the body in an instant. As a result, when a ferocious monster ate it by mistake, it became paralyzed

Scary!? It’s so dangerous!? Moreover, 『Special』 was attached in front of the paralyze. I wonder how much paralyzing power does it have.

I mean, the monster that have eaten it by mistake is too pitiful ……

What am I going to use it for? This. Or rather, at this late hour, why was I able to appraised it?

“……Ah, I see. By experiencing it with my own body in this way, I understand its detail huh.”

Hee~……

‥‥‥‥‥‥‥

“It’s a pain in the ass!”

If I’m going to do an appraisal one by one, do I have to eat it every time I got a『?』!? I had to have such a hard time again!?

The,there’s nothing I can do! I hate it!? Being paralyzed and poisoned every single time…… my body won’t keep up!

“Ah …… I’m tired today, I ……”

…… am no longer in the mood to continue exploring.

“It can’t be help…… I’ll try my best again tomorrow~.”

Let’s take a good rest today and prepare for tomorrow.

I, found a tree that looks safe, and I decided to sleep there.

However, at this time I, didn’t understand the greatness of 『Special Paralyze Grass』 at all.
