After leaving the Mage Guild, the group headed back to the "Boa's Nest" inn. Along the way, Alf turned to Mario and asked:

"Hey, can you actually use enchantments?"

"No," Mario admitted. "I tried picking it up when I joined the guild, but either I didn’t have the knack, or I just didn’t care enough."

"Huh. Would’ve been useful for gear upgrades. Anyway, what’s the deal with those ‘Magic Arms’ and scrolls Ern mentioned?"

"Scrolls start at one small silver each. Handy during dungeon runs—stuff like ‘Light’ or ‘Return’ spells can save lives. As for Magic Arms? Depends on our goals. Fighting elemental beasts? A water-tipped arrow against a fire-type is nice. Escort missions? Total overkill." Mario shrugged. "Your call as leader."

Alf fell silent, clearly chewing over the weight of responsibility.

Tenma’s Concerns

Listening quietly, Tenma finally spoke up:

"Mario-san, can everyone sense when magic is being used?"

Mario blinked. "You felt it during our first meeting, right?"

Tenma nodded, recalling the strange ripples of mana back in the guild's training grounds.

"Haaah…" Mario sighed. "Sensing magic depends on your talent. Alf says he gets an itch on the back of his neck. For others, if they’re attuned enough, they’ll notice—whether it’s your spell or someone else’s."

"I see. Thanks."

Inn Customs

Back at the inn, the group ordered dinner. Alf went straight for steak and ale—unsurprisingly. Leaf chose fried chicken and salad. Tenma settled on meat soup, fried chicken, and salad.

When Tenma hesitantly asked whether he should return his room key, Alf burst out laughing.

"You keep the key here!" Mario explained. "Returning it means you’re unhappy with the place. We’ve booked for a week—if you want to extend, tell them the evening before."

Appraisal Experiments

Once in his room, Tenma locked the door and spread his purchases out across the bed, ready to test his Appraisal skill.

Clothing (Marni’s Shop)

  • Results:

    • Hemp Pants: [Quality: Average] → [Good] on recheck!

    • Roughly 10% of the items (long-sleeves, riding pants, raincoat, trapper hat) were [Good].

    • The cape alone rated as [High Quality].

Weapons (Dolan’s Shop)

  • Surprising Haul:

    • Most of the gear was [High Quality].

    • 1 longsword, 1 shortsword, 1 leather armor set, and 1 vambrace were rated [Premium].

    • One longsword was even [Flawless].

Observation:

  • When Tenma appraised armor parts individually, the cuirass and pauldrons showed different ratings (e.g., [Premium] cuirass + [High Quality] pauldrons).

  • Hypothesis: Composite items default to the highest-rated component.

Magic Items

  • Magic Pouch: Initially showed only [Good]. But with repeated appraisals:

    • Enchantments Unlocked:

      • Spatial Expansion

      • Time Stop (Internal) ← …Wait, seriously?!

  • Pocket Watch: No hidden traits detected.

Frustration:

  • Either Tenma’s Appraisal skill was too low, or some enchantments had concealment attributes.

Midnight Realization

By the time the clock struck 1 AM, Tenma scrambled to pack away his gear and collapsed into bed—completely unaware of one critical oversight.

(A detail that would come back to haunt him soon enough.)

Translator’s Notes (T/N):

  1. 宿屋の鍵返却 (yadoya no kagi henkyaku): Returning your key implies you’re unhappy with the lodging. A quirky inn culture, but it makes sense in-universe.

  2. 品質 (hinshitsu): Quality tiers are now clearly quantified—Tenma’s Appraisal skill seems to be subtly leveling up like in an RPG.

  3. 時間停止 (jikan teishi): Time Stop on the pouch?! Either Marni seriously underestimated its value—or this is a future plot trigger.

Next Up: What did Tenma overlook? And how bad will the consequences be? Don’t miss it!
