We entered the appraisal room and immediately began the appraisal. It wasn’t something that took a lot of time, just appraising in order. Since it was a good opportunity, Emilia and I did it too.

“Now, starting with Sofia.” (Kouta)

“Thank you very much. Then, I’ll go first.” (Sofia)

Even Sofia seemed to get nervous, taking a deep breath with a serious expression…

“Here I go, appraisal.” (Sofia)

Yeah, you say it out loud, right? Actually, there’s no need to say it aloud. It’s not that I didn’t tell them. I just forgot, really, I swear. It’s not like I want to hear all three of them say it out loud or anything, really, really.

“…That’s unfortunate. No skill appeared.” (Sofia)

“Well, that’s how it is. I didn’t get anything either.” (Emilia)

“Since it’s still Lv 1, don’t worry about it, don’t worry.” (Mira)

Who exactly is saying that?

But I wanted to let that slide. I just couldn’t think of any better words to comfort her.

Honestly, I feel a little relieved. If I were the only one who didn’t get a skill, I wouldn’t know what to do. But if I’m the only one who gets one here, that would be kinda cool!!

Even if it was just to change the mood, Mira really did well. She was truly a good person who cared about her companions. Thanks to her, the downcast Sofia lifted her face.

“Mira, do your best!” (Sofia)

“You come over to this side too!” (Emilia)

Such contrasting opinions.

No, maybe that’s actually a good balance. If it goes either way, at least one of them can show happiness. It’s a nice dynamic.

I didn’t side with either one or just gave a thumbs-up to send her off.

“Good luck.” (Kouta)

“Appraisal.” (Mira)

As I thought, Mira said it too.

Mira smiled brightly for a moment, then quickly fixed her expression. Even I could tell. There was no way the other two didn’t notice.

“Mira, congratulations.” (Sofia)

“You did it, Mira!” (Emilia)

“Sofia… Emilia…” (Mira)

“Congratulations. There’s no way it’s just a martial skill or something, right?” (Sofia)

“Of course not!! …Thank you, thank you both…” (Mira)

“Huh? Nothing for me?” (Kouta)

“I’ll give you the first shot of my magic as a present, Kouta!” (Emilia)

I’d rather you not do that. This is probably the moment for me to play the fool. I want to keep getting along with the three of them, so I’ll make sure not to leave any hard feelings behind. Also… so I don’t lose the fortune of exploring dungeons with beautiful girls! Not that I can say that out loud!

“All right! My turn then. Mira, lend it to me.” (Sofia)

Well, normally it wouldn’t have gone up. Still, since there’s time, wanting to check is normal, right?

“Appraisal! Yeah, it didn’t go up.” (Sofia)

That was fast… and super casual.

“Well, that’s how it is.” (Sofia)

“Here you go, Kouta. Do your best!” (Mira)

“Eh, yeah.” (Kouta)

Appraisal is just to check, right? Your abilities are already set when you level up. I wonder if they get that.

I hesitated but appraised without speaking aloud.

“Eh? I’m Lv 3 now…” (Kouta)
