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

Over there.

Dia's gaze was directed towards the side of Dayton Village.

I don't think there's anything particularly strange about it, though.

It is quiet at night in the countryside.Because of the limited fuel to turn on the lights, I sleep with the sun when it goes down, even if it is not a special matter.

On the contrary, this place where we're having a banquet is strange.

It's certainly strange, isn't it?

"Whoa!?"

Sylvia was standing next to me when I noticed.

“Right. I don't feel any sign of anyone.”

Sylvia taught Dia the skills she needed for her adventures, such as how to detect signs.Even though I wasn't as good as Sylvia, I had a high level of mastery.

Is that so?

I don't understand the difference.

What I remember most is that I was in the village nearly a decade ago, and it's a long way from here.Even if I can't recognize it, I can't help it.

“It's not like everyone's asleep.You should go and see what's going on. ”

No one disagrees with Sylvia's proposal.

Dia was curious from the beginning, and Jilly, who had just arrived, had no idea what was going on.She wasn't as skilled as we were.

Um, are you going?

A rushed soldier asks.

I was just looking at him from a distance, but I could see that he was also fighting a big snake here.

Yeah, I'm just curious, so I'll check it out.

"But...."

I was worried about the attack on the gray snake.

It was stationed at a remote location to avoid a collision with Dayton Village.Grey snakes are no match for soldiers.If the same monster shows up again while we're gone, there's nothing we can do.

Well, I'll go and see how it goes.

We can get there in less than a minute.



"This... you've been hit."

The village of Dayton stops close enough to be seen in front of them.

There are no lights in the village, only the moonlight falling from the sky.Still, everywhere in the village... no, I can see that it's probably all petrified.Everything was stone, even within sight.

Given the circumstances, it was the gray snake.

“What do you think?”

I can't say that reconnaissance is too warm.I used Summon to alert everyone.

First of all, the previous raid must have been a pleasure.

As Melissa says, the pleasure of stopping us.It was a coincidence that I was there, but I was definitely looking towards the village.If there had been any disturbance, it would have been likely to have been noticed.

"It seems that the enemy's objective was to take full control of the village."

We were going to rule it out of sight.

At that time, I didn't know about the village.More than that, I felt the need to fortify myself by raiding the place where the great serpent was decorated.

“There are other details.But the biggest problem is the number. ”

Number?

Elmer was the only one who saw the enemy's ability to petrify.

I have finished explaining to Jilly by the time I get to the village.

However, because I did not actually see the moment of petrification just because I received an explanation, I was not able to accurately imagine the petrification ability of the ash snake.

Gems were nearby, but I couldn't get a good look at them because I was drunk, and the ground and shields that had been petrified just after I defeated the Ash Snake were back.[Recovery Magic] now allows me to spend time as usual, but it's no different than if I hadn't been seen because I wasn't feeling well.

"Petrochemicals are spreading mainly in places where the eye is hit.The maximum radius of the effect is 5 meters. "

The Ash Snake itself could adjust the range.The area of the ground that Elmer was petrified to tip over was about 1 meter, and the eye gaze that was released towards the gem and hit the ground was petrifying the maximum area.

It takes thousands of gazes to petrify all of the village.

I was only able to attract attention for a few minutes due to the fun.I can't think of finishing anything with just one.

"There are definitely multiple gray snakes."

The problem is that there is too little information to think about how many cats it is.

Did you just end this while you were fighting over there, or did you take action before you fought and no one noticed?It's no surprise that there was a distance, that there was a banquet, and I didn't notice it.

Well, how many are lurking?

Causes hostility toward the village.

That being said, the distance is around as soon as you enter the village.

You came out, didn't you?

A grey snake could not stand the provocation, and it only came out of the window of the house and gazed at the petrification.

It was me who was aiming for hostility.But it's hard to hit me with just one. because.....

"I can read it already."

The timed Aira slashes her eyes from the side.

Eyes slashed by intense force are extinguished without petrifying the slashed sword.

“Maybe this is the surest way to deal with it.”

Petrify regardless of the opponent's defense, defense is not a good judgment.

If you look at it over and over again, you'll know when it's time.

No, I think so.

I'm sorry to be a motivated Aira, but I don't think I can give her a chance this time.

It would be nice if there was only one opponent.

Perhaps the failure of the first attack signals the appearance of a grey snake from the shadows of houses and crates in the village.

That number--about thirty.

"Geez...!"

"First of all, act with the utmost priority of not hitting."

Well, I'll leave that to you.

Aira disappeared suddenly.The other family members were likewise missing from the vicinity.

Me and Elmer are the only ones left here.

"With such a large number, it would be better to have manpower."I'm glad you guys came. "

"Eh......"

Elmers are dumbfounded by sudden events.

While doing so, the gray snakes that were lurking in the village align around the outer perimeter of the village, casting their eyes on the petrification at once.

It is easy to avoid the eye gaze of a straight line, but in an aligned state, it may not be possible to move to a place that is completely out of reach.

It's no good, isn't it?

If we could have taken action by the moment we were released, Elmer and the others could have evaded, but Dia was the only one who could have taken action.I'm also trying to stop my motionless companions from seeing them.

"-- [World]"

All movement stops.

Everyone in the family would be able to move freely, but Elmer and the others were under the influence of [World], so they stopped moving like they were petrified.

"Well......"

Gently lift up the four bodies and move into the village.

"... haa!"

Did you notice that?

Not only Elmer, but the other three are stunned.

Even though I was supposed to be outside the village until then, I couldn't help but be surprised if I moved to another place in an instant.

The place where they were moved was on top of a two-story building.

It has a great view of the village, so you can see what's happening.

"How many of them are there...?"

"Come on. There's no doubt that it's not enough for at least a few dozen of them."For some reason, it's hard to detect their signs. "

The gray snakes that were on the ground turned their heads towards us.

However, it is blinded by a petrified building, which prevents it from flying.

"I will pay you properly." Can you give me a hand? "
