Episode 34.5 (1/2)
That chubby man was the culprit after all. Lecan always had his suspicion. Since there was no mana emission, it wasn't a magic. Must be some sort of skill. In his previous world, there were skills that allowed one to see faraway objects magnified. Must be that type.
(But still, their info is quite half-baked.)
(Why?)
As the guy was reading with bare eyes, the parts in his blind spot should remain invisible. Or perhaps the skill couldn't read too small characters. The explanation part on that appraisal tag was written in compact and tightly placed letters, and got handed to Lecan right after it was written. Then, when elder Termin wrote on the back of the tag later, he held it in his palm and used small letters again.
(Is that why the guy could only read the front side and the big lettered part?)
Lecan took the appraisal tag.

<Grace: Magic Blade (Offense tenfold, sharpness tenfold, length two-fivefold), Damage Restoration>
<TLN: Catch the latest updates and edits at Sousetsuka.com >
(These are all written in big letters.)
(Likely why the guy could read it.)
(But the part after that.)
(Probably safe to assume they don't know about the details on <Magic Blade> Grace.)
After ruminating that much, Lecan stopped his walk toward his inn.
He recalled elderly appraiser Termin.
(That old man.)
(Probably takes pride in his job.)
Lecan turned around and went to the trade facility.
There's a long line of people seeking elder Termin's service like usual. Lecan walked briskly to the elder's counter and spoke.
”Master-dono.”
”You need something?”
”I just got summoned by the General Dungeon Chief Administrator.”
”Umu.”
