Chapter 27: Appraising the alphabet

The next morning, I leave Nell and leave the town to return to my home in the forest.

Then, I take out the book that the alchemist gave me.

I flipped through it… But I can’t read it.

I wish I could appraise the letters as well.

Oh, the appraisal results are in.

But I want to know about every single letter.

What? You can appraise every single letter?!

I had always assumed letters were something you couldn’t appraise, but with this, I can learn to write on my own.

Afterwards, I could appraise the words too, and I wrote them down one by one on the wooden board.

There are 20 different types of letters in this otherworldly language, the equivalent of alphabets, and 11 different kinds of numbers.

The book that Mac-kun gave me is a novel titled, 『Nicholas the Alchemist’s Glory』.

The book is pretty tattered.

It was probably his favourite book.

I will, thankfully use it as a textbook.

If I combine that with my knowledge from the books Nell read to me, I should be able to have daily conversations at least.

The problem is, I only speak cat language.
