There is a small celebration with an excuse that since Leon had already regained his consciousness and slowly building up energies, its a news worth celebrating. It was nothing grand with no decorations or whatnot. They will just going to have a feast and Leon supposedly have no idea about it but he happened to caught on to their little plan earlier because of the loud mouth son of the terror mentor, Crispin. Because of his loud attitude and being some kind of a down to Earth, he accidentally slipped the plan right in front of Leon and runaway like a guilty culprit. If not for Leon, he would have already shovel the waste at their public bathroom.
"Sir isn't the scenery way too beautiful today?"
"I think it is the same like yesterday as well."
"Aren't you hot sir? Would you like some refreshments?"
 
"I am completely fine, thank you for asking."
 
"Aren't you bored lying down all day without nothing to do? I could accompany you esteemed sir..."
 
"I must refuse but I am completely fine here. Thank you for the concern." 
 
Everyone that had come by to the little make shift tent made of a fabric cloth that they bought from the mineral that he provided. Someone with a skill enough to mistake a handsewn fabric to be stitch with a machine made all the work just so Leon could have something comfortable to lie down with and a shade when the sun is too strong. Leon doesn't mind it because seeing the pillow made of grass and how soft it is when you lay your head to it made Leon let them do what they wanted to do. So far they are beyond Leon's expectation. Rosario made sure that Leon was served right from all the things they did to him and continuously doing for them all. 
 
But even though Leon is answering them one by one without delay, honestly, Leon was thinking of something else in his mind. Although they had passed a great hurdle recently, there are still a lot of things that he needed to reconsider. 
 
Rosario reported me a few days ago that they had found a town nearby and they used the currency to buy clothes first. She said with better clothing, they will not get treated badly as someone from the lowest ranks. There is some situation that normal ranks will forget to reload their watches with currency so they have an emergency bag of this rocks to pay for their purchases. That's good though since the food that I bought in Baron's stall were all about to dry now. 
 
Well it is such a shame that Rosario didn't agreed when I said I would be coming to the town with them but I guess this good rest is such a treat, I'll just consider shopping the next time.
 
Slowly the crowd left him when he was looking daze and they thought that they had been bothering the esteemed sir too much and he is just shy to tell them to go. 
 
But that wasn't the case.
 
I should buy condiments...are they still using such thing in this modern society? I think they are not but there is nothing wrong to check. I still need to idle for two more days before the restriction in using the system's interface as a penalty for pushing it to its limits. Geez! I should be on an adventure now if it wasn't the case!
 
His brows went crumpled and his breathing changes into aggressive. The people thought he was mad from all the people that is coming to have a chance to take care of him but the real reason is kind of...very different from what their heads were processing. 
 
According to the history report of the battle that had commenced when he got unconscious after he had absorbed the suspicious black mist, the system used his life years to launched few skills and stitched them together so the effect are even more effective. Thanks to that, he got stronger skills while also defeating the entity that almost killed the all. 
 
After a series of give and take, the mist sorted to attack Leon instead and the needle absorbed it so it could filter out the tainted energy before making it his own power. As for Mint's participation, it was pretty decent to say that he had helped Leon by stabilizing his body while still consuming the foreign power. The system had shown a notice of『⚠⚠⚠MAINTENANCE⚠⚠⚠』and since then that notice is still popping whenever Leon tried to access it so he has no energy to move and just succumbed to laziness as what people say it is. It felt foreign without using his skills. Thankfully, the active skills before it went to a maintenance state are still running fine. His disguise is still active.
 
Leon had been to too many reflections the passed days that he is alone. Mint also went quiet when he begged him to give some peaceful surrounding and since then the watch is like any other watch. Telling the time, use as currency and storage of purchased goods. If he didn't know better, Leon will think that the system and Mint have an agreement to go on a strike and ditch him.
 
"Sir am I disturbing you?" A soft knock to a plank of wood they had attached to the side so to not terrorize him right away inside the tent. It become an indicator of a visitor. It would be much better if it was a bell or other things than that ancient mechanism. Still it's good than nothing. Behind the smile and cheery respond is a thought that will make Rosario want to punch Leon. 
 
"Sure, what is it this time?" 
 
It took quite a long time before Rosario appeared in front of Leon because of what she is holding in her hands. She chuckled a little before she passed down some of the weight to Leon that assisted her so she could come inside.
 
"Phew~ Thanks for the help sir! Anyway these are the things you've told me to gather for you. We had completed everything and put it in the box. We don't have any accessories that has a spacial storage so we just input it inside the spacial box that could fit in four times the size of a sack of rice." Leon unwrapped the cloth from the boxes and they were five small boxes of juices in tetra pack that you could buy in markets but what inside are far more than the appearance itself. In addition to those boxes, Rosario is pulling something from the bag that she bought to herself. If it wasn't for Leon insisting her to buy one then she wouldn't do it.
 
"I have looked for the items that you specifically requested and the tailor have said that the style that you wanted has long gone phased out because of the unpopularity it received from the customers. But they said this kind of style will be the same and also, they had input inside comfort to the wearer so it is quite pricey." It wasn't big but it comes with five cardboard size box that is thinner than an encyclopedia book. Rosario tapped it before she proudly told Leon with a grin in her wrinkled lips.
 
"This is a whole set for a month so you don't have to worry for different kind of clothes to wear when circumstances ask you for it. Also this", Rosario pulled five sets again of a slighter smaller box but quite thicker than the first one. 
 
"For the footwear and socks, I also gathered comfortable footwear for you sir. I'm not sure if this will fit you but I think seeing your feet, it will. Then for other necessities, these are the rest of it." Leon's eyes widened and went back and forth from the boxes and to Rosario's smiling face.
 
"Uhhh..err...is this really all? Maybe you are still hiding something from me?" This was meant to be a joke to Rosario but the smile fades and she pulled out another set of boxes that made Leon speechless. Is she that blue cat with a pocket?
 
"Seriously Rosario?! Why are you wasting the funds I had given you! That is for your people and you!" Leon sigh a long one before he continued it with, I have the cape so I don't need much of clothes and he swallowed it into his throat. But instead, Rosario didn't stand down and given him a wide grin.
 
"Sir, as much as you see us important, you are important to us as well. This is nothing to the pile of minerals that you had given me. We barely graze the amount of it. Rest assured that I didn't spent much to all of these so please, take it so our hearts will be at ease when you are away", Rosario bowed and that made Leon touch his forehead. This is a familiar scene. Somehow, he misses the monsters inside the gate. How are they managing? Maybe slacking? They will be in for a good beating if they do.
 
"But wait a minute, have you gathered any rumors or news from the outside? You know how y'all are barred from news going on Earthex right for being here." That made Rosario lifted her face and with all seriousness stated her answer. 
 
"I did not."
 
"WHAT?!" That made Leon loose his cool and yelled at Rosario. The woman didn't mind it and continued talking. 
 
"But I have heard a rumor that Earthex will face a world breaking phenomenon that will test us all regarding our faiths to our God. There would be a satellite coming to the Earthex' orbit and that will clash with the Earthex' atmosphere which will cause an explosion. That will cause for the end of the world." Leon thought about it and it really pass as a rumor to the absurdness of it. He is not quite of a believer. He stopped long before. Their talk went on without any interruption or word from Mint. It almost feels like she is not existing and Leon like it that way. It's a rest. He said.
