Chapter 2 A Kind-Hearted Younger Brother Is a Great Blessing

Come to think of it… it seems that there are very rare people in this world who have <Magic Eyes> that allow them to see the skills and aptitude of the other person.

There’s no such a person in this country, so I don’t know the details….

Does it mean I have Magic Eyes?

That’s it!

With this, I can see my aptitude!

I might be able to live!

For now, I’ll just stare at my hands.

I can see it.

I can see it, but… there’s too little information….

To raise the level of a skill, you have to keep training that skill.

So, I will use Magic Eyes repeatedly.

After using it about 30 times, I started feeling tired.

My mana, a kind of magical power, is probably running out.

I usually wield a spear and have never touched magic, so I probably don’t have a lot of mana.

When I drink the mana potion in the room, my tiredness immediately disappears.

Then, I repeatedly use Magic Eyes again, and when I feel a little tired, there’s a change.

There’s more information I can see!

The Appraisal is probably the Magic Eyes….

When I stared further at the Appraisal――

<Appraisal>

You can see the status of living things and objects.

――something like that appeared.

Still, I don’t have enough information.

I repeatedly used Appraisal again, and drank mana potion when I was getting tired.

I vomited several times, but I ignored my body’s screams and gradually increased the information I could see.

Now, I can see more detailed information.

Moreover, when I took a closer look at <Others>――

Aptitude list

Appraisal S

S: Inhuman level.

A: A prominent talent.

B: One in a thousand.

C: Great talent.

D: Mediocre talent.

E: If you put in the effort, you can reach an average level.

F: No talent at all. It is a waste of time to train.

G: Not even displayed.

That result was displayed, and it turned out that the spear training that I had been working so hard for more than 10 years was a waste of time.

""

Well, I don’t mean to brag… but even though I have no aptitude for spearmanship, I was able to acquire the skill even though it’s just level 1, which shows that I’m a super hard worker.

Surely, I spent most of my life just swinging the spear…. Sigh.

Anyway, there’s no point in getting depressed now.

Now that I know I have an item box, I’ll buy some swords tomorrow.

From now on, I will use <Swordsmanship> as my main, and <Recovery Magic> and <Water Magic> as subs.

…… When I was thinking about that while fighting the urge to urinate, which is the side effect of drinking too many potions, Esther, my younger brother who is two years younger than me, came.

「Onii-sama, are you inside? It’s me, Esther.」

「Come in. What’s up, Esther?」

「I am sorry that I can’t do anything about this decision. I have come to see if there is anything I can do to help. For the time being, I have brought some money and a spear. Please take them with you, Onii-sama.」

(TLn: Onii-sama means older brother. It’s very formal and respectful. Google for more details)

As you can see from this conversation, Esther is a very good kid.

And I don’t know why, but he’s attached to me.

However, no matter how good this orichalcum spear is, I don’t need it since I don’t plan to use a spear, and I don’t feel comfortable taking money for free….

「Thank you. You’re too good of a younger brother for me. About the spear, I’ll just accept your feelings. Now that I’ve been kicked out of the Duke family, there’s no need for me to continue to use a spear that I have no talent for. As for the money… can you buy the things in my room with that money? …… I know it sounds pathetic, but there’s probably no merchant in town who will deal with me now that I have lost my status.」

「I understand. Please sell me the things that Onii-sama doesn’t need.」

Good.

He went out of his way to help me, so I don’t want to ruin his kindness.

Then, I immediately started to remove the vases, statues, paintings, and other things in the room.

Before my memory returned, my taste was like that of a noble, but now I just see them as things that take up space.

Even so, I have a good eye for things, so I know they are valuable.

Oh~, Esther is calling several servants to carry them.

He has many times more servants than I do, huh.

I know that it’s just the difference in expectations, but… it’s a bit painful.

「…… Is there anything else I can do?」

Hmm….

What I can’t do now that I’ve lost Nonland’s backing is… shopping.

I can only see a future where no merchants are willing to sell their products or I will be ripped off.

「Please gather the items written on this paper by the end of tomorrow and let me buy them. Also, I want to go to the Adventurer’s Guild tomorrow around noon to register, but I’m sure I’ll get into trouble if I’m alone, so I want you to come with me.」

「Understood. …… But, Onii-sama, wouldn’t it be difficult for you to bring all the items on this paper by yourself? I think it would be better to buy a magic bag with a large capacity, even if you have to spend a lot of money.」

Well, it also says 20 swords after all.

…… Esther is a trustworthy kid, so I guess I can tell him about it.

「You don’t have to worry about that. You see, I have an item box. A dummy backpack is enough for me. Don’t tell anyone about this until I leave the country, okay? Not even to father!」

「…… I understand. Thank you for telling me. …… Then, I will visit you tomorrow around noon….」

Saying so, Esther bowed and left.

By the way, I checked his status while we were talking.

I found out that Esther also has an item box.

Moreover, he seems to be unaware of it.

Both recovery magic and item box are so useful that you won’t have trouble finding a job for the rest of your life if you have them.

I owe Esther a debt of gratitude, and I somehow want to let him know about this result, but….

When I was wondering how I should tell him, I remembered that I had an aptitude for enchantment.

After thinking about it, I came up with the idea of applying the appraisal skill on a card or something with enchantment.

Thus, I took out the books about enchantment and alchemy from the library, which had many dusty books that no one ever reads, and continued studying until late at night.
