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

A large meeting room in the Melston Adventurer's Guild.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean!?"

A lord who usually didn't use the Adventurer's Guild was yelling inside the conference room.

He was visiting the Adventurer's Guild when he heard reports in the Lord's Palace of the retreat of the Knight's troops that were supposed to be stationed near the city of Dodo. Because I was able to decide that the Adventurer's Guild was more suitable than my own museum considering future discussions.

And the Guildmaster, who was originally the Lord of the Adventurer's Guild, had his head in his hand. A person who had retired because of his age, and his thin gray hair was about to fall out of stress.

"Explain to me what happened today alone."

Haha

Paulid explains when asked to do so.

That the adventurer who received the request from the adventurer's guild ran rampage and was crushed by our hands who visited at the request of the "Saintess".

After that, it turns out that the demon was inside, and this was also subdued by us.

As I explained from the beginning, the most troublesome thing is that the distortion of space is still growing.

“Is that really happening?”

“We can't sense the distortion. So what I'm going to talk about is a perceptible report from them.”

Paulid says I'm getting eyes on the lords, the guildmasters, and the politicians because they're close to me.

I've already made an introduction. Just hearing my name convinced them of their ability to deal with anomalies.

As a result, I was able to participate in the meeting, but most of the men in the meeting room were painfully older. I don't want to let them in, so I want them to stay outside with Mishrina and the others.

"First of all, it's a spatial distortion, but it's still expanding at a constant rate."

"... we can't understand [spatial distortion], but what does it look like?"

"That's... we don't know."

What are you talking about!?

Paulid watched what happened to the people who were swallowed.

But I don't understand what happened just by looking at it.

"Please think of me as' gone 'from here."

I'll give you an answer instead.

Gone?

It's like this, isn't it?

Participants in the meeting are given a glass of water.

If you hold the cup you've been given, it will be visible to everyone, and it will be stored in the storage ring. They are the rulers. I also had some knowledge about the storage ring, which is a magical tool, so I don't need a detailed explanation.

"Now the glass has disappeared from this world."

The destination is a subspace in the storage ring.

You can come and go as you please, but there are no cups anywhere in the world right now.

"Oh, um... disappeared... what happened to the people who moved?"

I know the answer to the lord's question. But I can't tell you why I know, so I just smile vaguely.

“There's a lot of problems, but the biggest problem is the spatial distortions that continue to grow only where the city of Dodo was.”

"Oh, yes...! If that's the end of it..."

The lords and guildmasters took their breath away.

Projects a map of Dodo's immediate neighborhood from above to make it easier to understand the current situation.

“We're still expanding. However, its speed is not constant and there are waves.”

Perhaps it was Trion who interfered to expand. However, a young trion cannot fully control it, and the speed of expansion depends on his mental state.

Because of this, I can't predict the exact time.

"Still, you could earn at least a day to reach Melston."

"One day!? If you want to reach tomorrow, you must evacuate immediately!"

The lord gets up and starts evacuating. I could see that I was trying to help myself by running away from the sneaky expression on my face. After all, if you fulfill the Lord's responsibilities and let the people escape, you won't be able to make it in time.

Panic will happen, but we can get everyone in Melst out of here.

Is that okay?

"What...?"

“You can evacuate people. However, everything that was left in Melst will disappear the moment it is swallowed up by the distortion of space.”

Melston has a home for people to live in and a place to work.

A city that has been developing for years and decades will disappear in an instant.

“It's easy if humans just evacuate. However, there will be nothing left of this place beyond the time of the disaster. Is that all right with you?"

"... so what do we do?"

Thanks to the slow bite, the lord who regained his coolness sits down.

There is only one thing to do from the beginning.

"It is the demons that are born in a crooked space that are responsible for this phenomenon. At least it seems impossible not to defeat this demon.”

But that demon is in a crooked space, isn't it?

The moment a human enters, they are extinguished.

But I couldn't defeat the Trion I was hanging around.

My party that can break in will take over the devil's crusade.

Oh!!

They know what I've done so far.

Even if you say something absurd, you can't help but believe it in situations where you want to believe something.

"Then go quickly."

"The Knights' retreat is complete." I can head there right away, though... "

Several red dots appear on the projected map.

Furthermore, the scene seen from the ground is projected at the same time.

"Ugh..."

The Lord holds his mouth shut.

It was a crooked demon that was reflected. It's a strain created by mixing many lives, but now it doesn't seem like many limbs are jumping out of the body, and the first giant, Cyclops, is walking.

Aira and Melissa defeated a prototype that was a failure.

Trion finished it in a short time.

The spooky look was hard on the lord.

"Thirty perverts are on their way to this city." Apparently, it was created by capturing the flesh of a nearby monster. These are troublesome. If it's not an attack worthy of rank A, it won't even stop you. "

If that's the case, you guys can take him down.

“I don't think that's valid either. If I defeat it, I will also wear it out, and I cannot do everything because I am here now. After defeating all of them, it was possible that Melst would be destroyed by the distortion that appeared later. The speed is slow, but it's probably because we know we're here and we're on guard.”

Melst was definitely going to perish when I allowed the Spurious Demon to enter.

In that case, there is no place to evacuate.

“We need to repel them somehow, not rely on us.”

You're not going to help me?

"Our roles are break-in and crusade." I'm going to take responsibility for the role I've been given, but I can't guarantee the safety of my city. ”

After we break in, we'll have to make sure we're safe.

"Please gather as many high ranking adventurers as you can scratch." If you don't, you're going to die. "
