The Strongest Job Is Apparently Not a Hero or a Sage, But an Appraiser (Provisional)! (最強の職業は勇者でも賢者でもなく鑑定士（仮）らしいですよ？)

Onii-chan.

Hm?

You mentioned some people from your own world you wanted to see.

Yeah.

What kind of people are they?

Well, you know...

I am also very curious about this.

They're family and friends.

We always had a good time while having black tea...

"Black tea"?

My childhood friend's family ran a cafe.

Just as you are remembering them fondly,

they must also be quite worried about you.

Probably.

But right now, I'm here with you and Lillian, and Vene-kun.

So I'm not lonely.

The Strongest Job is Apparently Not a Hero or a Sage, but an Appraiser (Provisional)?

Today's Temperature Is 39 Degrees

Today's Temperature Is 39 Degrees.

Claude already told me!

You had a life-or-death battle with a Silver Diamond Wolf.

An impressive victory at your level!

Y-Yes.

That's not an opponent where mere talent will suffice.

Good work, Hibiki.

However!

I repeat!

If you had more muscle, you might've defeated it without collapsing!

Dammit!

If only I had trained you more...

Though it's not too late!

Come with me now...

and embark on a muscle training routine from hell!

The reason we called you here today is...

For muscle training?

No.

To discuss the reward for defeating the Silver Diamond Wolf.

What?

This much?!

Had it come to this town...

who knows how many would have fallen victim.

You defeated an opponent that even Bals-sama would have struggled with.

So don't be coy and just accept it!

Then I'll gratefully accept.

With this, we can make preparations to take on the dungeon!

Indeed. It's more than enough.

Oho.

I smell financial fortune!

Hibiki-sama, welcome!

The aroma of wealth surrounding you is particularly rich again today.

You look in high spirits.

My nasal cavity is melting.

Oh?

Claude-sama, Lillian-sama, welcome.

Um...

No need to worry.

Please come this way.

Hibiki-sama.

Our company will not meddle in your personal affairs.

Thank you!

This is the Debby Company's weapon showroom.

Please feel free to look around.

Wow, what is this?

All right!

I'll choose this Wind Layer Tunic.

Its wind magic will help me dodge attacks!

That looks so cool on you!

It suits you well.

What sort of weapons would you like?

I'm fine with what I have now.

I do have that bow God gave me.

I doubt there's anything better than that...

I'm picking this!

Lovely!

Really?

A Blossom Wand, huh?

It really suits you, Lillian!

Thank you!

You've decided on your purchases? Very well! Thank you very much!

All together, that comes to 1200 gold coins.

Thou...sand... two-hun...dred... gold... coins...

What language is that?

Lillian!?

One thousand two hundred gold coins...!

What a reasonable price!

Wait, that's cheap?!

You won't get that cheaper than 1500 anywhere else.

Our Debby Company is proud to be the most affordable store around!

I'll take this.

Claude, you should get something that protects your stomach.

Remember how close it was last time.

Do not worry, Hibiki-sama.

This piece is imbued with a strengthening spell,

so its defensive power rivals a full suit of armor.

Really?

True, the appraisal data confirms that.

Got it.

What about your weapon?

I'll take this Magnetica.

It's versatile and effective even in cramped dungeons.

"With its powerful magnetic field,

you can direct a rain of blades at your target,

or even change the direction of your opponent's sword."

I see.

That really is great.

Impressive...

The extent of your findings is remarkable.

Wait...

How high is the level of your Appraise skill?

It's at level 5.

Level 5?!

M-Magnificent!

I'd expect nothing less from you!

The scent of your financial fortune is getting even more intense!

Is it really that impressive?

But of course!

Usually, an appraiser's skill level is 1 or 2.

Even our skilled in-house veteran appraiser is only at level 3.

Encountering someone with a level 5 skill is very rare indeed!

I see.

Hey, Chief God!

Please tell me things like that earlier!

Whoopsie!

Oh, while I'm here,

I'll let you know you can use that thing you wanted!

Oh right.

My Relief Measure leveled up in the last fight, too.

Speaking of, Hibiki-sama.

As you prepare to embark on your journey,

surely you'll need a carriage, or some other such equipment?

Given a little time, there is nothing we cannot procure for you.

I'll take you up on that.

Please let me know when everything's ready to go.

Good luck, you two!

Relief Measure, activate!

Immovable Chains detected.

Would you like to use Relief Measure on the target?

Please do!

Relief Measure: summoning the sacred beast Carbuncle.

What does that mean?

My name is Carbuncle!

I am the sacred beast that serves the mighty Chief God!

So cute!

Onii-chan, me too!

Let me cuddle him too!

What are you doing?!

I am the sacred beast that serves the Chief God!

Can we call you Car-kun?

Car-kun!

Oh, fine, I suppose I'll allow it.

Claude!

He's going to break the chains himself!

So is this the power of Relief Measure Level 2, Car-kun?

That's so good, Car-kun!

It's amazing.

As if!

How long are you going to keep fooling around, Carbuncle?!

Get to work already!

Oh, if it isn't Venezilianustore Ferratiano.

What are you doing here?

Anyway, why's that wolf glaring at me?

Why, Venezilianustore Ferratiano?

Just get it done already, idiot Carbuncle!

Fine, Venezilianustore Ferratiano.

Did you just call me an idiot?

Just do it!

My name is Carbuncle!

I am the sacred beast that serves the mighty Chief God,

and I am in charge of the light that controls happiness!

Good Luck Catcher!

Come on, Car-kun!

You did it!

You broke two of the cursed chains!

You did it!

Thank you, Hibiki-sama.

I'm so happy for you, Claude.

But Car-kun's the one who lifted the curse.

Thank you, Car-kun!

Carbuncle-sama, my deepest thanks for breaking this curse.

Hey, what is going on there?

Claude...

You've come so far that you stuck to just glaring this time.

Which means, despite being a dummy, you're learning.

You're too kind.

Reprimand him properly!

Looks like we made a new friend.

Hope we can work together, Car-kun.

No, thanks.

My job here is done.

I'm going home.

I said I'm going home and I'm going!

Guess he's gone.

What was his problem?

If only he could have stayed longer.

Clau-san, are you okay?

So hot.

It really is super hot.

Sapo-chan, what's the temperature?

Using the units of your former world,

today's temperature is 39 degrees.
