Hi~~~~~ JiN again. So, due to circumstances, I will be posting chapter 2, 3, and 4 today.

I know, you can all worship me now. kah kah kah

Enjoy~~~~~~~

Chapter 2 Testing the Skill

While thinking about the Skills, I set out for home.

There were about 10 people on the carriage with me.

My house is about half a day by carriage away from the capital where the shrine is in, at the outskirts of the Town of Lucas.

It is a relatively nearby town from the capital, with a population of about a thousand. Beginner adventurers pass through here. It is a lively town.

Well then, lets try using Appraisal.

While the carriage is shaking, I silently used Appraisal and faced an adventurer in his primes.

As I did that, information surfaced in my mind.

Name: Keith

Race: Hume (TL: No, this is not a typo. )

Gender: Male

Age: 48 Years Old

Occupation: Adventurer (Rank C)

Skill

One-handed Blade

Cleaning

Hee, so he is Keith-san.

His skills are One-handed Bladeand Cleaning, huh.

Its a bad combination, isnt it?

Although he has quite the stern face, its an extreme gap with Cleaning.

While thinking about cleaning, I tried looking at Keith-san and more information surfaced in my mind.

Cleaning: Able to properly carry out efficient cleaning, when skill level is increased, able to clean neatly.

I see, Appraisal can search for detailed entries on confirmed information.

This is quite convenient.

I think that its probably because its AppraisalComplete that it can do this.

In the procured information theres a word which arouses my curiosity.

Its Skill level.

I dont see any entries about skill level but the word seems like the more you use the skill, the better the ability.

I see. If that is the case, the more I use Appraisal, the more detailed the information I am able to obtain.

If so, I should use Appraisal more.

Anyhow, I cant move from the carriage for half a day.

Besides, I cant test outCut and Pastein places with people.

Thinking about such things, I used Appraisal on all the 10 people inside the carriage.

I didnt particularly have any problems until the ninth person.

However, the information I obtained from the 10th man contained outrageous information.

Name: Gaskarth ((Iz: Any idea? Gas Cart or something?) (JiN: Hmmm, initially I was thinking of Gascart, but now I think about it, Gaskarth seems ok.. ho ho ho)

Race: Hume

Gender: Male

Age: 31 Years Old

Occupation: Robber

Skill

Sewing

DaggerExtreme

Swift feet (Small)

What, a robber!?

Why is he on the carriage!?

Furthermore, he has DaggerExtreme

Hes a master in itself.

Dangerous, this is dangerous.

Right now hes sitting quietly and shutting his eyes but I dont know when hell act violently.

There are some adventurers on board but if he stabbed with surprise attack it wont be long before we die.

Whats this guys goal?

This carriage is headed towards the place I live, the Town of Lucas.

Since hes acting docile in the carriage, that means he should be aiming for the Town of Lucas.

The inspection when entering the town is strict, so robbers cannot enter.

No matter how much I think, I cant seem to think of the correct answer.

No, I cant think of it.

Right now, I am the only person who knows he is a dangerous person.

Even if I tell someone inside this small carriage, he will naturally hear me when I speak.

Any way, isnt there any way? (JiN: dude, you're making a pun or something? O,o" )

Before he takes out his dagger, before he becomes violent, isnt there any way.

Even if I grow impatient, there isnt anything a youngster like me can do.

So I thought.

It would be best if that guy doesnt become violent, and without him realizing, immediately return home as soon as we arrive.

However, as things are, Im not sure if this guy will stay docile.

Even if we arrive safely, if anything happens inside the town, I will be dragged into it.

Above all, there are other young adults like me, and there are even girls.

As expected, if I dont think of a solution, we will surely be in danger.

What can I do now?

Speaking of what I can do, I only have the Skills I gained today.

Appraisal will surely be useful.

However, it cant overturn this situation.

If so, it seems like I have to use the other Skill Cut & Paste, one way or another. (TLC: )

I cant use Cuton living things.

Assuming I use it, I cant attack my opponent who hasnt even done anything.

If I did, the person wholl be arrested isnt him, but me.

Because I cant injure my opponent, I become powerless.

Ah, I can use Pasteto stick that guys shoes on the floor.

If I do that, even if he suddenly acts he wouldnt be able to move.

Even if he kicks off his shoes, he cant do it immediately.

Next is the dagger on his waist.

Lets stick his scabbard and the dagger together.

If I do that, even if he acts, Keith-san and the other adventurers can deal with him.

Yosh, since I decided, lets get to it immediately.

As I invoked the Skill, the successful invocation response was returned in my mind.

It was my first time using it but it seems like I was somehow able to use it.

Phew with this I am relieved for now.

Its just that as it is I wont be able to deal with what happens after we arrive at the town.

Even if I stick his shoes, he will be able to move if he takes it off, and if he buys a new dagger itll end there.

I dont know whether his aim is the carriage or inside the Town of Lucas or anything else. I cant come up with a fundamental solution.

Just like that he boldly boarded the carriage.

If his aim is theTown of Lucas, hell manage to enter.

If so, there might be harm to the town.

Optimistic that the urgent danger is prevented, I was able to cool myself down a little.

And, this me who calmed down was struck by an outrageous idea. (JiN: It's just the second chapter This author likes to use the word outrages doesn't he/she?)
