Chapter 197: If appraisal is fine, maybe I’ll do Sexual Appraisal too? (1)

[A/N: We are just a few more golden tickets away from reaching another milestone!!]

While floating a surprised expression, Crio muttered. Crio and Marisa had come near the Hellhound a little delayed from him.

But before the two launched an attack, the Hellhound was defeated by his one hit. That was why the two became dumbfounded while looking in the direction where the Hellhound had been.

"Right before firing Howling, if you close the mouth like that, it misfires and the head blows off."

While looking around the area searching for the magic stone, he explained to Crio and Marisa.

"It’s a defeating method taught by a senior of Aquila’s adventurer guild."

"Even if taught, I feel it’s not something that can be done easily..."

At Marisa’s words, Crio nodded in agreement and opened her mouth.

"With this lower-class... moreover level lower than me, unbelievable though."

While talking, the three looked around the area and searched for the magic stone.

(Maybe better to use Luxulbrum?)

He hesitated whether to use the magic that discovered magic stones, Luxulbrum. This time only one magic stone, and it should have fallen on the nearby container.

That was why thinking it not to the degree of using Luxulbrum, he had not used it. But since the magic stone was not found, he began to hesitate.

"Found it!"

Suddenly Crio raised her voice happily. She noticed that the magic stone had fallen in one of the many holes for hooking hooks on the container.

She put a finger in the hole and pinched out the magic stone. A black round magic stone a little over two centimeters in diameter.

"This size means the Hellhound just now was Corporal-class..."

Floating a surprised expression, Crio continued.

"Kazu... defeated a Corporal-class Hellhound in one hit."

She turned toward him and made both eyes shine. Clearly the way eyes shone of using some appraisal-type skill.

Marisa also a little delayed, same as Crio made both eyes shine and looked at him.

"W-why suddenly appraisal?"

To the puzzled him, while putting the magic stone in her pocket, Crio declared.

"No, thinking to confirm whether really level 18."

"It’s level 18."

Before starting the monitoring work, he had done status check and confirmed level and such.

"Ah! Not level 18... 19!"

Hearing the words Crio put in her mouth upon seeing the appraisal result, he was surprised.

"Eh? Really?"

He touched the Orb with his right hand and did status check. Then the number displayed in the level column had become not "18" but "19".

"Really! Become level 19!"

He raised a voice of joy.

"Experience points increased in the fight with the Hellhound just now, and became level 19!"

"Congratulations!"

While blessing that level rose, Crio added with a complicated face.

"But even if rose, really level... still 19, lower than me."

Following Crio, Marisa opened her mouth.

"Unbelievable, Kazu’s level lower than me."

Marisa also having eyes shining white was because using appraisal-type skill and confirming his level.

"Crio said level 25 for sure, but Marisa’s level is how many?"

To the asking him, Marisa answered.

"I’m level 27."

"Is it fine to appraise?"

"Fine, we did it to Kazu too."

Following Marisa, Crio opened her mouth.

"Appraisal is something everyone does as they like, so no need to take permission."

As Crio said, interpersonal appraisal without permission was not prohibited in most autonomous cities, and same on the ship. Appraising so as not to be noticed was not that difficult, so to the actual situation hard to regulate, the rules were matched.

—-

Those who did not want information known by appraisal should obtain appraisal interference skills or items and take countermeasures themselves was common sense on the Northern Continent. Incidentally, appraisal interference against Authenticas used only by the guild was impossible.

"Then, excuse me."

He activated General Appraisal and first performed appraisal on Marisa. Incidentally, when doing interpersonal appraisal with General Appraisal, the information that could be known was few.

Other than level and occupation, only things to the degree of major status abnormalities. With high-performance appraisal skills used by upper-class adventurers and such, more detailed information could be obtained.

But the information that could be known with ordinary appraisal skills owned by most adventurers was only slight. This could also be said one of the reasons unlicensed appraisal was not regulated.

Overlapping Marisa, the appraisal result was displayed as character information in his vision.

"Level is 27, as you said. Occupation being swordswoman is understandable even without appraisal."

Marisa returned words to him.

"Well, if you see fighting with a sword, understandable even without appraisal."

Next he tried appraising Crio. While looking at Crio and performing General Appraisal, the appraisal result was displayed in his vision.

"Crio is level 25, as you said. Occupation is martial artist."

"Yeah, same as Kazu."

While talking, the three walked toward the parasol and deck chairs.

(If appraisal is fine, maybe I’ll do Sexual Appraisal too?)

Since unlicensed interpersonal appraisal seemed not prohibited even inside the Gadalbarooha, he wanted to try Sexual Appraisal on Crio and Marisa. Unable to win against curiosity, he released General Appraisal and activated Sexual Appraisal as is.

Due to the strong sunlight, Crio and Marisa did not notice the faint blue light his eyes released. Even if noticed, they would only think it some specialized appraisal and not particularly mind.

First the Sexual Appraisal result was displayed overlapping the side face of walking Marisa.

(Eh? Virgin?)

At Marisa’s male experience being zero, he was surprised in his heart.

(Ah, but twenty-one years old, so not particularly strange.)

She looked adult-like, but he knew from the person herself that Marisa’s age was twenty-one. Moreover, he knew several women in their twenties who were virgins such as Lumia and Monica.

(Female experience... four. Not that she’s a homosexual.)

Regarding this he was not particularly surprised. He had predicted it, and was already getting used to it.

After checking sexual preferences and erogenous zones and such, he noticed that an item of sexual frustration state existed.

(Sexual frustration state... mild, long-term continuing?)

The item of sexual frustration state sometimes displayed not only period but also degree. Normally not displayed, but if mild then mild, if severe then severe kind of feel.

While doing Sexual Appraisal on Marisa, the three arrived under the parasol and sat on their respective deck chairs. He finished Sexual Appraisal on Marisa, and while looking at the side face of Crio sitting on the right next, began Sexual Appraisal.

Immediately his vision was filled with character information of Crio’s Sexual Appraisal result.

(Crio too...)

The male experience item was zero, meaning Crio was also a virgin. Female experience was two, which was fewer than Marisa.

Before checking sexual preferences and erogenous zones, he noticed that an item of sexual frustration state existed.

(Sexual frustration state same as Marisa?)

Crio’s sexual frustration state was also mild and long-term continuing.

(Just as Uraka said.)

Last night Uraka had said to him "Not just us, I think there are others who have accumulated frustration." The Sexual Appraisal results of Marisa and Crio became a form of backing that Uraka’s talk was fact.

(What to do? Maybe try inviting?)
