Examination

「Excuse me. Is it alright to come in?」 

The village chief came again. 

「Ah, I don’t mind. What happened? 」 

This is not good. I’m becoming arrogant because of his attitude. Rather, the village chief regards me too highly. I’m just a mere high school student. 

Well, although I called myself a student, it doesn’t matter here. I’m only an ordinary person, passing by here, moreover, a Lv2. 

「Because we already collected the equipment, please examine them.」

With the borrowed power of Durandal, I slaughtered the thieves like grasshopper, so they are cautious of me. It wouldn’t be good if my sword turns against them. But it’s also not possible for them to ignore the benefactor who saved the village. If you act imprudent and cold, you will receive ill will too. 

From the position of the village chief, I am nothing but a troublesome existence. They can do nothing but wait for me to leave, it’s that type of strategy.

「Understood」 

Though I say that, I didn’t understand anything. Examine what? It’s fine to make the equipment mine? 

Because I defeated the thieves, their equipment is going to be mine. If there is someone strong, and the villagers are weak, the strong one can act as he pleases through violence. 「This way」 「Is it okay for me to take the equipment?」 

I asked the village chief while we walk. 「Yes. Michio-sama defeated the thieves, naturally the equipment belongs to Michio-sama」 「Is it so?」 

It seems that the equipment is going to be mine. It’s not like there are police or justice like modern times, so maybe this is the norm.

「This time, the villagers has defeated two thieves. Therefore, I want to distribute two portions of the equipment to them, would that be alright? 」 

The villagers only defeated two thieves? This reminds me, they only exchanged some blows. I, who have Durandal, only needed one hit.

「Understood. I don’t mind」 

I don’t know what is normal in this world so I’m going to accept the proposal. They probably only won thanks to me, but if I take everything, surely there will be complaints. It’s better if I don’t do that. Currently, I’m just a villager Lv2. I don’t have Durandal with me now, if all the villagers get serious it’s going to be dangerous. 

「Thank you very much. Let me give you thanks on behalf of the village」 As expected, they don’t take another attitude towards the Lv2 me. 

「Don’t worry」 

Perhaps, because appraisal is a bonus skill, the village chief and the villagers can’t use it. 

The villagers may think that my lvl is 30 or more. Because most villagers can’t defeat the thieves. The highest lvl among the villagers was 25 and he was defeated by the leader, in the village there is no one that can match me. If that is the case, then that’s why they are lowering themselves and praise me. 

The place I was guided to was a corner at the edge of the village, they placed the equipment there. A man was standing there. 

Bikka Man 31 Years Merchant Lv6 Equipment : Armor of wood – Shoes of leather

Maybe he is the merchant I saw this morning. 

「His name is Bikka, the only merchant in the village」 「I am called Bikka. This time you have saved the village and everyone, i cannot express how grateful i am」 「I’m Michio. Don’t exaggerate so much」 

I’m glad they are thanking me, but I don’t like to hear that from people I just met. 

「Understood. Here are the equipments of the thieves」 

I examine the equipment. 

Armor of leather : Body Equipment 

Boots of leather : Foot Equipment 

Sword of copper : Sword of both hands 

It seems that everything is ordinary. 

「××××××××××」 「Oh, really? The villagers who defeated the thieves are going to be glad」 「I don’t care」 

The villager chief seems to have spoken with the merchant about the two portions of the equipment. If only they will speak in brahim. 

「Does Michio-sama have any capacity left in your space?」 The merchant asks.「Space?」

Shit. A term I don’t know. Do I have capacity left in my space? 

Is my brahim unskillful? Its space to store the equipment ……Maybe, there isn’t space left, I think

I don’t understand. The space I have left is not enough? 

「Michio-sama is not an adventurer?」 「No, well, that kind of thing is..」 

Is there any special meaning to an adventurer? If I’m slow my facade is going to crumble. 

「If someone is an adventurer, they can create a space to store the items and equipment, you can utilize a magic skill for the space. Maybe it is currently full because you stored your sword?」 

The village chief shows me a lifeboat. 

Is that so? It seems convenient. There is a bag that is like an inventory, an item box. 

After resetting, Durandal was gone. From the perspective of the village chief, it seems like I have put it in my space. 

「The inventory, eh?」 「The inventory?」 「Inventory, open. Item box, open. Tool bag. Item space…… Open……」 

I murmured in a low voice to see what happens, but nothing. Is the command different? Guess I don’t remember that. In any case, it seems that I will not be able to use it for now. 

The village chief and the merchant are looking at me with cold eyes, I have that feeling. Muttering a weird thing, it’s painful looking at me. It’s too painful. A patient who suffer from chuunibyou. Calm, calm down my left hand.

「……What’s wrong?」 「I’m afraid to say that my space is full」 

The truth is that I can’t use it, I don’t know where Durandal was send. Or rather, where is Durandal?

「At the dawn of tomorrow, I’m going to the town Beiru to sell my goods. If you don’t mind, you can transport the equipment in my wagon to the town. In Beiru there is a weapon shop and an armor shop. It’s likely you can sell them in the city.」 

The merchant offers. I was hoping that this merchant would buy the equipment, but I was wrong. Is he is going to take a little of the profit? 

「I’m very grateful. I shall do that」 

Maybe it’s my job to sell my own equipment. One leather armor and one leather boots. I don’t know if I can sell them. I’m grabbing two swords of cooper. 

Sword of iron : Sword of both hands

What do I do with the iron sword? It’s one rank above the other equipment. Even if I have something good, people may steal or aim for it. But, it doesn’t appear to be rare equipment, should i sell it? 

「Here are the intelligence cards」 

The merchant brings out a card, the size of a notepad. 

「Intelligence card?」 

What is that? I repeat like a parrot. 「Among the thieves there are some with a bounty. Present this to the knights in Beiru to receive the reward」 「I see」 

I understood the story. If the thieves are rampaging, there should be a bounty. And the card is proof that you defeated the thieves? It seems this is common sense and everyone in this world knows about it. I don’t want them to think something strange about me. When receiving the card I didn’t look strangely at it and just accepted. I remain calm and continue checking the equipment. 

Sword of cooper : Sword of both hands 

Sword of cooper : Sword of both hands When I was checking the equipment, something strange occurred. 

Sword of cooper : Sword of both hands Skill : Empty 

Durandal too has a skill attached. Did something happen? 

To me who hold the sword in my hand, the merchant ask with a sharp sight. There is no skill called empty, I think this is an open skill slot. 

「This is a good item」 「What do you mean?」 

But then, I don’t know how to attach a skill. 

「Skill. Skill slot. Grant skill. Manage skill」 

I ended up murmuring again. Nothing happened. It doesn’t change anything. Perhaps I should say that murmuring doesn’t change anything. It only works while thinking about appraisal or the character settings. 

「I heard that a blacksmith can attach the skill of a monster card, does that sword have any skills? 「No, it doesn’t.」 「I see」 

It seems that you need a specific job to apply the skill. What is a monster card? 

「However, this sword is not so bad. I will take it as part of my fees」 「You can see whether this does or does not have a skill?」 

The village chief asks.

「Only generally. Let’s call it the perception of an adventurer」 

Because appraisal is a bonus skill, there should be few people who have it. There is no need to talk about the fact that I have it. 

「Like I said a moment ago about the sword the deceased villager was using. Could you examine it? If it’s a good sword it can make the life of the family left behind easier」 「If I can understand it」 「Thank you very much. I will bring it immediately」 

The village chief left. 

Afterwards, I continue with the equipment. It seems there isn’t another with a skill or a skill slot. 

Armor of iron : Body Equipment 

Bandana : Head equipment 

The two piece of equipment from the leader 

Eh? The equipment of the leader was a bandana?
