E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 46 - Offer
'Krake!'
The door of the carriage, so beautiful and big, was opened by a servant.
The waiter was wearing all-black clothes with a slight red streak on his chest.
Despite wearing clothes like a man, the maid had long purplish black hair and was braided to her waist.
"Please, Mr. Hero." Said the waiter, bowing. His glasses stared at the ground, letting the hero with his large body and thick armor down from the horse carriage.
The hero wore a thick white armor. A armor of the highest quality made by the rarest material, Mithril. While his own head was covered by Mithril's thick helmet. Not showing a single bit of his face.
With his large right hand, he waved at the residents of this city.
"Youngaaaa! That's Karte's hero!"
"As usual he looks very handsome!"
"Please shake hands with me!"
"Thank you so much for always fighting so hard to keep this kingdom!"
Such a lively cheer from the residents of the city was heard all over these streets. More and more people came to see it.
After that, the waiter who had previously opened the door for Karte had left. Disappeared somewhere.
Leaving behind a fake hero named Karte who was created by Feris, the real hero. Not a single citizen knew the name of Feris. All but the soldiers who settled in Eastfort or the highest nobles.
Meanwhile, He had full power over the military as well as the adventurer Guild.
He walked through the crowd with his face flat. While the residents of the City did not have time to care about anyone the woman.
It was because the hero they loved stood right before them.
After a while....
'Now, where are you, Enchanter?' Fris asked himself in his heart. His gaze was seen leading to various places to search for his whereabouts.

'Dok! Doc!'
The sound of a slow knock on the door was heard. Some of the people who were training on the first floor immediately opened the door.
And the figure behind it....
"introduce. My name is Feris, an acquaintance of Artemis. He said he wanted to meet me to discuss a financial business. Can you call him here?" Said the woman.
His appearance resembled that of a high-ranking noble. Moreover, his polite attitude.
The slaves who were training certainly did not have enough time to recognize their two Masters, Artemis and Leo.
Therefore, they assume that this figure named Feris is indeed an acquaintance of Artemis. Without hesitation....
'Tap 'em! Taps! Aap!'
One of the men who was a slave of Leo walked to the second floor. Calling Artemis to come down.
"Excuse me, Miss Artemis. There's a guy named Feris who says he's your acquaintance. He asked that you meet him on the first floor." Said the Man.
"Huh? I don't know anyone named Feris. Tell him to go." Reply Artemis who is busy arranging gold and platinum coins that He has.
But nevertheless....
"She said she wanted to talk about financial business or something." Continue the Man.
Immediately, Artemis got up from her seat. Because he was in too much of a hurry, he dropped the tower of coins he had just stacked.
'Couche!'
"You serious? I'll be there soon!" Artemis said as soon as she opened the door of her room. With a quick step, Artemis went down the stairs.
And what was on the first floor, was that figure named Feris.
"So how's our business? What do I need to do to make a lot of money?" Ask Artemis excitedly.
But Feris was silent. Staring at the figure of Artemis with a fairly sharp gaze.
After a while....
'So it's not him? Then who made those things? But I'm pretty sure that this girl has something to do with those things. Should I try it?' Fierce thought in his heart as he continued to look at the figure of Artemis.
As soon as Feris disconnects it, he takes out one of his aces without hesitation.
With just that sentence, Artemis had fallen into the hands of Feris.

...- Lodging -...
A few hours have passed. Even so, the crowd generated by the arrival of the hero was still ongoing.
Leo and Selene return to the inn to prepare for tomorrow.
But nevertheless....
"Leo! Look at! I found a buyer willing to pay 100 platinum coins for us!" Artemis said as she pointed towards a woman in male clothes who was sitting on the wooden chair.
The woman was drinking tea and reading a book.
With just 100 platinum coins in mind, Leo already knows that this is most likely a trap. But since Artemis had called him that, pretending to be a stranger was useless.
Hence....
"Selene. Be prepared for anything that might happen any minute." Leo whispered to Selene who was standing next to him.
Without answering, Selene simply nodded and prepared herself to fight.
At that moment, something far beyond Leo's shadow happens.
"There is no need to be vigilant like that to prospective buyers, right?" Said Feris who was still glued to his book.
'Is that right?! This is bad, that woman is too dangerous!' Leo thought briefly after hearing the woman's words.
To ensure this situation, Leo also used his Clairvoyance ability to see the status of the woman.

'W-what the fuck?!' Leo cried out in his heart shortly after noticing the status possessed by the woman before him.
He could not even hold his eyes that spontaneously opened wide. Seeing the reaction from Leo, the woman named Feris only smiled faintly as she said.
"What's wrong? Did you see anything interesting about me?" Ask Fris to Leo.
Of course, what Feris meant was the status that Leo had just seen. But for others who don't even know such abilities exist, they simply assume that Leo is attracted to the tomboyish woman.
"What do you want from me?" Ask Leo briefly. His body began to tremble. He recalled his bad memories when he met with nobles.
And that woman before him, looked like a high-ranking noble. It might be Duke level.
But the reply he got was the opposite of what was in his mind.
"Just calm down, Leo. I'm not your enemy. I mean, I came here purely to make you an attractive offer." Reply Ferris.
"Ooh is that so? What kind of offer is that? Swap my life for money?"
A tense atmosphere began to fill this room. Artemis, who was near Leo, now began to step back and move away in fear.
"I told you I'm not your enemy, Leo. Or should I call you Dimas so you understand?" Reply Feris with a smile.
At that time, the only conclusion that was in Leo's head was a presumption that the woman in front of him....
He is the same hero as himself.
