E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 33 - The End of Winter
Today, something different happened.
Unlike previous days where the storm continues to hit various regions with cold temperatures. This time, the storm had completely stopped. Even the snow is no longer falling.
The sun that is usually never seen, or only peek for a few moments, this time shining quite brightly.
The snow is starting to melt.
The cold started to go.
And finally....
Spring has arrived. Bringing back life in this world.
"Whoah, I've forgotten what it's like to walk out without wearing thick clothes." Said Leo who came out of the inn he had lived in more than 3 months.
Right now, the preparations have matured. He wore noble clothes with purple and brown colors, leather shoes that were quite thick in brown and leather gloves of the same color.
On his right waist, there is a sling bag made of animal skin and has a dark brown color. Most of the goods and money were stored in that bag.
Then at his left waist, a sword made of forged steel hung neatly.
To make up for his flaws in magic, Leo stored some Mana stones in a small bag tied to his right thigh.
Mana stones are one of the most affordable sources of magic energy. All that because the amount of energy can be said to be quite rough and small. But for an adventurer, his energy was enough to reverse the emergency situation he was in.
The use is also quite flexible. Leo was able to draw out the Mana energy stored within the stone to obtain the 'emergency' Mana which immediately replenished the magic energy in his body.
Alternatively, Leo can also drain additional Mana and make it unstable with certain spells. The result is a grenade in a fantasy world.
Not only that, all of his clothes and weapons had now obtained a C-level Enchantment and 2 D-level Enchantment respectively.
Leo actually wanted to enter the 4th Enchantment, but at the time of doing so, the previous wrought steel sword immediately broke and shattered.
The incident made Leo understand that an object can not get the number of Enchantment beyond his ability.
When he noticed himself once more after confining himself for 3 months in the inn....

When Leo smiled to himself as he watched his palm....
"Yeah, Leo. Are you ready?" Ask a long black haired girl. It was none other than Artemis. After their 3 months together, Artemis who was previously just crazy about money began to change.
Now he is much more interested in the way that Leo will make more money.
Moreover, Artemis respected Leo like her own brother. He did not want to be too far apart and always followed.
With help from Leo, Artemis now has a change in her gear.
Her clothes that had previously been included as high-level equipment.
Therefore Leo simply adds an Enchantment that focuses on increasing endurance and protection just as it does on his own clothes.
Including an effect [Temperature Adjustment] that not only focuses on making the clothes warm as before, but makes the clothes can adjust to their environmental conditions.
If the environment is hot, then the clothes will be cooler. And vice versa.
So he protected himself with a knife and a short bow that has now been changed to the Crossbow.
Both have also been enhanced by Leo with Enchantment. It's just....
'Clairvoyance.' Said Leo while paying attention to the figure of Artemis without replying to his previous words.

Look at that information....
'Which is true, even my Rating is inferior to him?' Leo thought in his heart while narrowing his eyes slightly.
"The leo? You okay?" Artemis asked who brought her face closer to check on Leo.
"Aah, sorry. Where was it?"
"Say, am I ready? Isn't this our big plan?" Ask Artemis again.
The plan in question was to buy a horse carriage and begin their journey. A journey to make more money.
Of course the part of making a lot of money was the idea of Artemis. The expectations of Leo are only one. I went back to Canary Village and met Reina. Including fulfilling his words to help the remote village.
'I've made him wait there too long huh? Wait a minute, I'll see you soon, Reina.' Leo thought in his heart.
Leo began to move his legs which Artemis soon followed.
"Ah, about that. Sure oes. Come on, let's find the horse carriage first. You brought the money, didn't you?"
"Of course!" Reply Artemis while opening her black leather bag and then showing 5 Platinum coins in it as well as dozens of gold coins.
"Yeahaaa! I can't wait to see how big the world is! You knew! Ever since I was a kid, I always dreamed of adventure! That's why I became an adventurer! Then you know what? Being an adult is a bitch!
We have to make money to buy food! Meet needs! And think of everything yourself! In the end, I was never adventurous and just a traveling healer! Then you know?! By the time I was older...."
By this time, Leo had gotten used to Artemis' quite chatty demeanor. He didn't have to do anything bad like scolding her or anything like that.
That was because most of the stories were entertaining enough to put a smile on his face.
"Is that so? So you want to explore the world, huh? And what about the money?" Leo asked while teasing the girl.
"of course! Exploring the world is business number two! If I could make a lot of money I would do anything! That's because I need a lot of money to buy...."
Artemis quickly retaliated and started mentioning the 100 items she wanted to buy.
"How do you bring that much stuff with you on an adventure? The horse-drawn carriage isn't that big you know?" Reply to Leo briefly while holding back his laughter.
"Ah, right too.... Adventure is number 3! The most important thing is...."
Their light conversation accompanied the arrival of this spring.
And the steps of the two of them, will lead to the birth of the greatest trading ruler that will ever be seen in this world.
