”Hey. What about those people?
”That's a wild horse. Jizzy called you anyway, didn't she?
”They've been relaxed lately. I was hoping you'd wake up here for a shot. Show me your strength.”
”Or don't you want to see it in your hand? Then I'll kick you out now.”
”Yeah. Go”
Clearly, it won't be a battle to show you what's in your hand. Plus, me and Ursi know, but Fran is more than happy. This is your chance to improve your Black Cat status.
I was so worried that I wasn't too motivated.
”Oh, that's great. I'm sorry I gathered it without prior confirmation.”
”Damn, you're so thick.”
”I don't want Baba with thick skin on her face to tell me!
One man approached me from among the wild horses as I stretched lightly as I talked about that.
In this, he is clearly an adventurer with power one step above. Rank C at least. Depending on my skills and abilities, even B didn't seem strange.
”You're strong.”
(Mm-hmm. What about the appraisal?
”Uh, what do we do?
(Naturally appraising the unknown coming up)
'Really?
(Mm-hmm. If you can, then that's the time. You can either bust it or run. That's all)
That's simple! He's worried. He said I was stupid.
When I used the appraisal with a feeling of shoulder loading down, it was still pretty strong. Status is about the top of Rank C? Much weaker than Colbert, but balanced with his skills in water-splitting magic, underwater behavioral systems, and trap sensing. Highly rated non-combat, arguably an all-rounder.
”Hey, I'm sorry I pushed you. I'm a Rank B Adventurer and I say Roblen.”
”Mm-hmm. I'm rank -”
”Whoa, just leave me a name”
”? Okay. I'm Fran.”
”Oh, I'm going to let you study a lot today. Greetings.”
”Mmm.”
Fran holding back the hand offered. He's a refreshingly handsome brunette, but doesn't look like a bad guy. And Rank B.
”Nevertheless, Gilmouth. What's the point of daring to hide who she is? You've noticed a few people besides me, haven't you?
”Rather, I don't know. They're lazy. The ears that buy the information, the eyes that look at them, they're rotten!
”Ha, tough...”
”You're laughing! Well, the low rankers are fine. But the problem is that there are a lot of people in C and D who insult Fran! I've had too much warm water for a long time, and my senses are dull.”
”Well, there hasn't been a major incident in the last 20 years or so.”
”Hurray! You in the ace. That's why Lake Vivian adventurers are ridiculed too! The Kingdoms say Amenbo!
”Isn't that odd to say”
