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

When I looked outside the mansion, it was starting to snow.

Considering the cold, it seems that many people refrain from going out, but from outside, you can hear men's lively voices mingling with children's cheerful voices.

When it snows in Aleister's Arkham region, monsters appear only at this time of year, and such monsters are traded at high prices because of the preciousness of their meat and materials.

The adventurers were trying to make money before it was really cold.

Many other merchants are trying to buy products that can only be obtained at the periphery before winter.

The next few days will be lively.

It's very lively, isn't it?

Mishrina, sitting on the sofa in the reception room, opened her mouth as she turned to the window.

“Are you guys not going?”

"I've been in Allister for years, so I know my face, my name, and how strong it is. I don't think I'm going to be able to get my prey from other adventurers, which is traded at a very high price.”

Monsters that only appear in winter have a chance to earn money for ordinary adventurers.

If high rank adventurers like us go hunting, we will take away their prey.

Besides, the income that supports my life is a labyrinth. In the next few days, more people will be hunting monsters outside, so fewer people will visit the labyrinth, but they will be stationed in Aleister after the snow accumulates.

To make money, to move my body... there may be a reason for each, but I will travel to a labyrinth where I can earn steadily.

Instead of hunting monsters that appear only in the winter, I could earn more from them. It is better not to use your hands poorly in order not to cut off their motivation.

Well, it's been a while since Elmer and the others have been back, so it looks like they're participating in this year's hunt.

The first winter for them since they became adventurers. I was mingling with other adventurers and spending my time hunting.

A monster that is stronger than usual. I was worried about my previous strength, but since I became a labyrinth lord and a labyrinth vassal, I won't suffer any backlash unless I make a few mistakes.

That's why I'm not at the Mansion today.

"Can I ask you something?"

Mishrina and Claudia, the "Holy Maiden" visiting from the Principality of Ischgaria.

It took me a few months to get to Aleister by normal means. Aleister's Mansion was visited several times, but she asked someone to shorten her travel time.

Travel time can be shortened, but it is not easy, so if you don't do it, you won't do it.

“I couldn't communicate and get a message because someone couldn't hear me.”

The Adventurer's Guild has magic tools that allow them to communicate with opponents far away. It is not a magic tool that can be used easily because it consumes a lot of magic stones for use, but it is used in emergencies.

It was used to inform the Adventurer's Guild around the world that the city of Dodo had disappeared some time ago.

"I have a request for the city of Dodo."

The city of Dodo, west of the Duchy of Ischgaria.

It was a thriving city, but a few weeks ago it disappeared for an unknown reason, and there was no trace of the city.

We know why. In the same way, Zeon, the labyrinth lord, flew the city itself to another dimensional world ahead of the lowest level of the labyrinth. Not only the building, but also the people who lived there had been skipped, so although it had not become a prima facie case, in some cases it had become quite a case.

Many agencies have gathered information, but so far they have not been able to come up with a strong one.

"If it's the cause of the disappearance of the Dodo city, I'm sure you've told them."

There are magic tools for communication between individuals. I've given it to Mishrina, so I can get in touch with her if I need anything.

However, I came without prior notice.

"It's not something you can talk about in a communication."

Magic tools for communication are useful, but they don't have the magic tools to intercept communications.

"The Duchy of Ishgaria has now dispatched many knights to the wizards and guards to investigate."

Even so, the dispatch has already been carried out several times.

"But as a person, I don't know where he is."

We found traces of a visit to a place close to the city of Dodo.

However, we never know where we're going from there.

“In addition to us, the Adventurer's Guild has sent its own research team.”

I don't know the details of what happened to the investigation team.

Even so, I could only know the result of "I couldn't return."

“I know what happened to the city of Dodo because you taught me in advance.”

However, since it is not possible to publicize the source of the information, it is necessary to obtain the information by other means.

That's where the investigation team came in. It consisted of excellent people selected from the country, and I thought they would bring back some kind of information.

"My father asked me to do something about it."

I'm not telling [Saintess], who has low fighting ability, to go to a dangerous place.

Is that a formal request from the Principality to me?

The Prince knows that we have a personal connection.

Even if the request to the adventurer was not sent through the adventurer's guild, it is difficult to decline a formal request from the country, even if the country with the weak relationship is the opponent.

“No, I just want you to be confidential.”

If it was better to be public, I couldn't have sent someone as important as the [Holy Maiden] in secret.

“Why do you ask me to keep it a secret?”

"The case of 'sleeping sickness' has just been solved. It's hard for rumors to spread that the city has disappeared.”

That's why I don't want to put it on the record.

“Besides, in the area where the city of Dodo was located, the damage caused by 'sleeping sickness' was terrible. Some of the lords who rule the surrounding cities say," Isn't there something? '' There are many people who are worried. "

Rather than saying there was something, the mastermind behind the previous incident and the perpetrator of this incident are the same person.

I can't disclose the details even if I have that much information.

"I have no choice but to rely on you."

……

I understand the circumstances.

We have plenty of credit for putting our country's problems in the wrong hands. No wonder I was asked.

It is not irrelevant to the problem.

“If you can swallow my offer, I can accept your request.”

“Really! I'll do everything I can with the money.”

“It's not the money you ask for.”

When the monsters are crushed, some tax will be taken from the rewards obtained.

“I think you'll get a lot of things along the way. I want you to prove that I own all of them."

"That's..."

Even the "Holy Maiden" was a difficult issue.

After all, the Duchy of Ishgaria is a country where the nobility that governs its territory is strong. Even if the prince was stronger, it would be hard to make him kneel if he was opposed to the lord.

"Well, you don't have to think hard. What we want is not a visible supply."

"What do you mean..."

I don't have time to explain in detail.

"I'm going to accompany you this time, anyway."

“Of course, I don't have the strength to fight like you, but I can defend myself.”

"... so I'm sorry I just arrived, but please travel to the site."

I asked Sonia to sleep on the sofa in the corner of the room.

It's not an easy distance to travel.

“Now we need to know what happened where that city was. It should help Rio around."

"... that's fine. Instead, I won't guarantee the magic power of my return."

"I'll take care of this on the way back."

Transfer from the Principality of Ishgaria to Alistair at the request of Ms Mishrina. Before that, he was also traveling from the Grenvalga Empire, so he was traveling a considerable distance a day.

As expected, it seems that it is difficult to use continuously, and it has come in the morning and it is often relaxed until the evening.

"With my fighting power, there is a high possibility that my legs and legs will become united." I should have waited with the "Holy Maiden". "

But Mishrina wants to follow the crisis ahead of her country.

It is no longer an atmosphere in which to refuse.

That's why I'll let you leave when I send you out.
