Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

Commercial Country of Lejuras.

Though surrounded by multiple countries, the country has not been attacked and destroyed for topographical reasons such as land and sea relay points.

The same is true for topographical reasons, but more than that, merchants have long been economically developed by looking at places.

A country where all sorts of things come together.

Thanks to this, the streets in the center of the city have always been busy, and the voices of the stalls still attract visitors.

How was it?

"No problem. I could make a promise tomorrow."

That's good.

In a shop with an open terrace, Sylvia, who noticed that Melissa and I had come in, was relieved that she had made a promise.

This time, we are all visiting the Commercial Country of Legulas.

The purpose is to repay the debt. Until now, I have returned it little by little to show my willingness to return it if I visit it regularly.But this time, we got enough money to repay the full amount at once, so we paid a lot of money.

If it was a small payment, I should have given it to the reception of the Chamber of Commerce and received a certificate.

However, if you lose a lot of money or debt, you can't just go through the process and end it.At the very least, we need to greet the person who provided the funds.

Gates Gibson.

A person who is the vice president of the Merchant's Guild, and who also operates and earns financial chambers of commerce, lent me a lot of money.

There is no way that such a person can meet without a promise.I'm still busy today and it's hard to cancel, so I decided to schedule a meeting after noon tomorrow.

I had Melissa accompany me because it could be a deal.

Well, that was convenient.

"Why don't you guys order something?"

In front of Isla is a large amount of eating pancakes hung with syrup.

It's a hard substitute to eat in the neighborhood of Alistair.I couldn't eat it, but I had to pay a lot of money for it and it was a luxury.

However, it is cheaper in a commercial country like Régiuras.

"There is a country nearby that is famous for producing sugar.They must be importing from there. "

"I don't care why it's cheap."

I gave Melissa the menu table and it was returned immediately.

Immediately. She chose a brandy pound cake.

You're staying today.

"Oh, I see. You don't have to go home because you don't know how far they're watching you."

Normally, I returned to the Mansion under [Transfer] when I had finished my errands.Even if I had to stay the next day or later, there was no problem with taking a room for six people and leaving me alone.There is no problem if you summon everyone with [Summon] the next day.

This time, I am the only one who has visited the city and summoned everyone.

We all had to go through the gates to leave behind the fact that there was everyone in the city.

Normally, I don't have a problem alone because I don't get peeked inside the room.

You're restless.

Sylvia's Detection had multiple signs of watching over them.

Are you still here?

"Rather, it's increasing."

I was under surveillance for a short period of time as I went through the process of entering the city.

In the first phase, three people watched us, and when Melissa and I started acting differently, only one person followed us from the difference in numbers, and two people stayed under Sylvia's surveillance.

I was wondering if the three of them were watching me because I was currently meeting under surveillance.....

"Eight."

Until now, there has been no surveillance in the commercial country of Reduras, so I am not sure how to respond.

"Why is that...?"

The number of people made Noel feel slow.

Her abilities did not reveal the exact number of people, but only that she was being monitored.

"I don't know what it is.But you certainly have the strength you deserve. "

It was Sylvia that made me realize.

"What worries me is that there's no synergy in movement."

Sylvia says there's a lot of waste in surveillance.There is no waste of skill or technology, there seems to be duplication in the areas being monitored.

When it comes to caution, I think we are trying to prevent mistakes, but it seems that there is simply no unity of intent.

"Looks like we're being watched by multiple targets."

Instead of one organization monitoring more than one, more than one organization is monitoring us individually.

"... it's troublesome."

Rather than the purpose of the other party, we don't even know how many.

Moving poorly can be dangerous in situations where you don't know the details.

"For now, let's pretend we didn't notice."

That's true, too.

I'll get the coffee I ordered in a little while.I haven't ordered anything else.

"It's a big date. Shouldn't I order something more delicious?"

"You haven't eaten that much in the morning."

He eats breakfast at a village inn where he stopped by beforehand.

"Well, you can't eat that sweet."

"This kind of sweet is easy."

"Exactly."

There's a cake in front of Melissa.

I can feel the smell of alcohol even though I'm just sitting next to you because I use a lot of brandy.I was attacked by the urge to move, but I couldn't afford a seat because I had six people at the table.

"Enjoy your stay"

The smiling waitress leaves.

But before she left, Melissa grabbed the waitress's wrist and stopped moving.

"Hey."

"Shut up."

I tried to blame Melissa for her sudden behavior, but Melissa warned me the other way around.

"Who prepared this cake?"

"Eh...? I prepared it for you...?"

The waitress will prepare what was made in the morning.

Apart from the pastry chef who makes products such as cakes, he keeps making them busy in the kitchen.

Oh, is that so?

I finally figured out what Melissa thinks is a problem.

Turning to the front, Sylvia seemed to have noticed from the beginning and was very calm.

"It's a shame I'm only doing this because I've had enough time to think about going sightseeing."

"Um, what is it really about?"

I am irritated, but be careful not to let it kill me.

It is possible that ordinary people will faint simply because they are exposed to a killer atmosphere.

"What's the matter, customer?"

"Master...."

After noticing the strange atmosphere in the store, the manager stopped making the product and approached the guest seat.

Other customers are stopping talking with their hands and looking at us.

"No, the item I ordered was brought in....."

Melissa contains the tea that Sylvia gave to her as she explains.

Sylvia took the tea out of the storage ring and prepared it herself.

"Either way, can you eat it?"

Ha.

The bothered manager holds the fork and turns to the cake.

I haven't been eaten yet, but did you have any trouble with what you made?

Respond to the complaint and try to eat to say "no problem".

"Wait!"

But the waitress stopped the manager from acting.

"Was it you?"

I didn't know who the killer was.

Or other employees could have been the killer.

"I'm sorry...."

"You don't have to apologize. Can you tell me why you poisoned it?"

What Melissa gave me was a poisoned cake.
