E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 31 - Adventurer
'Kreeek!'
"I'm back!" Shouted Artemis who quickly opened the door of Leo's room.
Leo who saw it was quite surprised. How not....
"Hey, I appreciate your hard work these few days. But why did you make my room the main headquarters? Don't you have your own room?" Reply Leo who is currently training his physique.
He was trying to figure out how fast his growth was by utilizing his [Clairvoyance] skill.
"Hasn't it natural to make the Party chairman's house the main headquarters?" Reply Artemis who was leisurely sitting on a chair and ate the fruit that had just been bought.
Leo who no longer had the words to reply just fell silent and continued his push-ups.
But nevertheless....
"Hey, why are you doing that?" Artemis asked while biting the apple.
"Do what?"
"That's. Are you trying to fuck the floor?"
The words of Artemis certainly made Leo think the same thing. After all, the push-up pose he made was not at all perfect because of his weak physique.
"Artemist. Can you slightly correct your attitude that always comes from interpreting something? First name, second pose of my practice. Next what? Is my dress style like a bum now?" Reply Leo who immediately stood up and looked at the interlocutor.
"Oh, so you realize that? Honestly, your clothes are really bad."
Leo was firmly trying to contain his anger. But unexpectedly....
"Here, I bought you something so change the rotten clothes. Ah, I also found an interesting sword just now." Artemis said while throwing a sizable bag of cloth at Leo.
Without waiting for an answer, Artemis continued to continue her story endlessly. She is a cheerful and talkative girl.
A pretty shitty thing for Leo right now. However, his cheerfulness was little by little able to illuminate the darkness that currently filled his heart.
Until finally, Leo heard a story that made him not believe himself.
"Then you know? I found this girl in the Guild Hall! His body was completely covered in wounds, even surpassing the injuries you had back then! Of course, as a fellow girl, I offered her healing services at a discounted price!
Well, even though he ended up being kind enough to pay me 1 gold coin. But you know what? Reportedly the girl was not very liked by many other adventurers. Then...."
Artemis continued her story regardless of whether others heard it or not. But Leo himself paid close attention to the whole story.
After all, all of his stories were shards of information of this city and the world.
As he trains his physical and magical abilities, Leo will happily acquire the free radio. But nevertheless....
"Wait a minute, his body is full of wounds? How badly? Why is he not liked? Is he strong?" Ask Leo who purposely stopped his sit-up practice.
Artemis who heard that could only be excited because there was finally someone who was really interested in the story.
"Well! You want to know?! Of course you want to know, right?! Goody! Listen carefully!" Said Artemis who immediately pulled her chair to get closer to Leo. After that, he answered his question.
"God you know, that girl has such a beautiful body! I was even quite envious of his posture. Although, there are a lot of scars that damage the beauty of it. Too bad I can't remove the scar completely, but then...."
A long story began to come out of Artemis' mouth. Most of it was just useless information about the details of the incident and what he thought.
But some more....
"... and great! He hunted 100 Snow Wolf alone! Isn't that too crazy?! Just so you know, even if there were 10 of you, you would die torn apart by the Snow Wolf herd! They are too strong in winter! Then...."
Leo who heard this was shocked.
'Even if there were 10 of me, I would only be a prey for that monster? Even just a flock of 8 tails though? Then what the fuck with that girl?!' Leo thought in his heart.
What came to his mind was only one.
He desperately wanted the girl to work under him. With that much power in his grasp, Leo will never get into trouble in the future.
What's more....
"... And then you know?! Said the girl slaughtered...."
"Artemis, wait a minute. Do you know him? Where is the girl now?" Leo asked cutting off the words Artemis.
But Artemis happily got the question and now puts on a pose that looks like she's thinking hard.
"Hm.... I forgot to get acquainted with him, but I clearly mentioned my name. As for his current existence...."
"He's still in the guild, right? I'll see him soon and...."
"I don't think it's any good." Artemis continued while pulling up Leo's arm that looked ready to go.
"What do you mean?"
"The girl has left this town. Shortly after his body healed, he returned to the Guild administration section and took on an S-level mission." Artemis.
But for now....
"Section level S?"
"Yes, everyone in the Guild was quite surprised by the mission. How not? The girl had just taken on a mission to kill Wyvern in Maelfall territory." Artemis.
Instantly, Leo's body felt quite weak. Not because of his fatigue. But because of his helplessness to at least try to persuade the adventurer.
'Damn 'em.... The maelfall? Too far away for the current winter, has he gone mad?'
After thinking about it for a moment, Leo finally gave up on this adventurer. He felt that his chances of recruiting such a great person were quite low with his current self.
"... and do you know?! Wyverns were terrifying beasts! They can fly, resemble dragons, but have smaller bodies! Even so hunting him would require even 100 people or more! Anyway really a very monster...."
'This boy.... When will he stop talking?' Leo thought in his heart as he stared cynically at Artemis.
A peaceful and boring new life awaits Leo or Dimas for a while.

...- Eastfort -...
In this leading fortress of mankind, tens of thousands of soldiers lined up neatly within that fortress and wall.
A fortress located on the West side of a steep mountain range. Making it the perfect location to withstand the incursions of the Devils in the North.
"Grooaayarr!!!"
A monster with a body 6 meters high and had one eye it walked towards the wall while carrying a large stone batter.
Along with him, thousands of other Devils of different races and sizes invaded.
"Hold this attack! Do not forget that this is the most powerful wall of mankind! If this wall collapses, then humanity will no longer have a future!" Shouted a woman with a tomboy-impressed appearance.
He tried hard to raise the morale of all the troops in the fort.
He has long black hair braided as well as a fairly unique military uniform. More than that, he wore a pair of glasses that were rarely seen in this fantasy world.
"Miss Firis, the King wants to meet you." Said a Knight who came towards the woman.
"At a time like this? You useless king." The woman was upset. Even so, he kept walking down those stairs.
Before he left this defensive wall....
"Alicia, help them resist this attack." Said the woman to a girl wearing a white uniform and her long hair decomposed in pink.
In her right hand was a beautiful one-handed sword that looked so sharp.
"Without your orders though I also intend to behead the Devils." Reply to that woman named Alicia. After answering Firis' words, he immediately jumped out of the wall.
Now, Alicia was standing in front of the wall. Facing thousands of Devils alone without his protection.
"It's troublesome.... Can I sleep peacefully after this?" Alicia said as she immediately ran towards the crowd of Devils.
"Everything! Miss Alicia has advanced! Support him!" Shouted the commander of the troops while ordering the archer squad to shoot immediately.
'Jleebbb! Jamba! Jleeb!'
Thousands of arrows shot towards the line of the Devils. Most misses, but for those who hit the target it will give a deep enough wound.
Meanwhile....
'Tap 'em! Swuussh!'
Alicia jumped right towards that one-eyed Devil. His right hand was ready to swing his sword, and quickly....
'Sraasshhh!'
That one-handed sword slash immediately slashed the 6-meter-high Devil's neck with great ease.
His lifeless body immediately fell down and fell on many other Devils.
"It's very troubling...." Alicia said while looking at her clothes that were now dirty because they were exposed to a lot of blood.
And so....
The situation that happens in the Eastfort fort every day.
A fortress that on this day is guarded by 2 chosen heroes Goddess Cyrese. Firis and Alicia.
