Dropped into a fantasy world's grasslands with only the skill Appraisal, Hibiki Manabe looks like the weakest recruit any party could get compared to a Hero or a Sage. The elf Emalia Steinbart takes him in anyway, and what starts as a mismatched rescue turns into a real party once Hibiki's Appraisal proves capable of far more than reading item stats. Piecing together companions the world has already overlooked, he keeps his eye on the one goal that matters most: getting home.
