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

Visit the Adventurer's Guild.

Now it's winter and there's even snow, so many adventurers refrain from outside activities. We will refrain from accepting orders, but those who have missed savings in preparation for winter will have to accept requests even in cold conditions.

But Aleister is lucky to have a labyrinth nearby. You can go to a labyrinth where the environment is kept constant if you put up with the cold for a while.

An Alliance to find out what materials are still needed by some adventurers.....

"Hey, didn't it work this time!?"

Yeah, that's right.

"Shit, this is the sixth time!"

There were more adventurers in the guild than expected.

In addition, there were many high-ranking adventurers in the guild who should have plenty of savings. You should be able to stay dull in your own house and rented lodgings for the usual year.

This time, people are going from us, too

Heath of an A-ranked adventurer.

Although it is a city on the periphery, Aleister has multiple A-rank adventurers.

There was a labyrinth nearby, and there were various monsters on the perimeter, so there was a lot of demand for adventurers.

Heath was also an adventurer based in Aleister. An adventurer who specializes in melee-focused crusade requests, and has received requests together before.

"It looks like there were a few other people there..."

"If Heath couldn't do it, no one else could."

"I can't do this..."

That's when I finally realized the people in my guild were coming in.

Wow, you're getting a lot of attention, aren't you?

Ira is with us today.

As a swordsman, she is also famous and attracts attention, but she noticed that her gaze was different from the usual.

Expectation, envy.

There seems to be no doubt that something is going on.

Rooty gestured to me as I stepped forward from the counter.

You're really coming at the right time, aren't you?

"Just in time... we're just here to report on our return from the Duchy of Ishgaria"

I visited the Principality of Ischgaria at the request of Mishrina, the "Holy Maiden". The problem itself could be solved in a few days, but the report of returning was delayed due to the subsequent hospitality and adjustment of the labyrinth.

I have a duty to report back when I return to the city where the adventurer is based. That's because you can't even make a request if you don't know that you came back when you had an urgent request.

However, adventurers also have rest and circumstances. It won't be a problem for a few days.

Are you making money again this time?

"No..."

There were many things obtained.

However, I didn't get the rewards the adventurer was looking for, so I had to deceive them.

What's going on here?

"Actually, Mars, there was a report that the ruins were found after you guys left."

The ruins.

All of a sudden, space is distorted and connected to another world on the other side. The connected destination is often a facility where treasure sleeps, and it provides incredible benefits. However, since it is also a dangerous place, adventurers who are used to exploring will be asked to do so.

I met Ellis the first time I visited the ruins.

Is it near here?

Ruins exploration is to be managed by an Adventurer's Guild of a certain size or larger near where the ruins were found. Even city guilds, the adventurers of the city alone are shorthanded, and the nearby cities will be called upon.

A ruin that attracts many adventurers. If someone doesn't manage it, there will be a struggle over a lot of treasure.

No, the ruins aren't far from the capital.

Therefore, at first, the royal capital and the nearby city were called, and I tried to embark on exploring the ruins as usual.

As a result, Aleister was not called out to me at first.

“Something went wrong this time.”

Did you make a mistake?

Rooty shakes her head to the side of Aira's question.

“I couldn't even get into the ruins in the first place.”

According to Rooty, she decided to meet in the King's City before heading there to avoid trouble. It happened near the capital of the king's city not for nearly a hundred years, so it was cautious.

However, when I tried to go to the dimensional distortion, people appeared from the other side through the dimensional distortion.

"Eh... can you pass the dimensional distortion?"

"I've rarely heard of it."

Golems have been attacked through dimensional distortions during previous visits to Golem ruins.

However, at that time, the ruins were in a state of alert due to a once-in-a-lifetime intrusion, and we came to intercept them because we were approaching with strong power.

Basically, the presence in the ruins does not appear here.

“But I know what they're up to.”

The existence that emerged from the ruins, the appearance of a human figure, and the skill that approximated the story, the words that were translated into my mind echoed.

So we knew what they were asking for.

It looks like the gatekeeper showed up.

Doorman?

"Yes, it seems that they are demanding 'Call the strong ones'."

Call the strong.

The strong will not refuse to enter, but the weak will not enter at all.

Therefore, he stood like a gatekeeper in front of the dimensional distortion and tested everyone's ability. If they have been running tests for many days, they will be drained. However, the replacement personnel were sent later, and all of them were stronger than the adventurers dispatched from the capital.

The adventurer's guild in the Royal Capital, who could not defeat the gatekeeper, gave preference to abandon their interests and go inside. In other words, I decided to ask for support to reach a wider area and have a high-ranking adventurer come and deal with it.

However, so far, he has not succeeded in defeating the gatekeeper, and Heath, an A-rank adventurer sent by Allister, has also failed.

That's why you asked us to go, didn't it?

"That's what I'm talking about."

I don't mind going. However, I wanted to prioritize measures against Zeon now.

Ruins

What's the matter?

"It's not okay."

When I tried to tell her the plan, Aira sent me a message.

”I know what you're going to do. But you don't know how to defeat Zeon?”

Newly acquired World ability.

With the ability to apply the labyrinth environment to reality, you can apply an environment that can defeat Zeon.

The question is, how do we defeat them?

We haven't found an environment where we can defeat Zeon yet.

If you're heading to the ruins, I might have a clue.

Ira was right.

It's better to go out for a hint than to let ourselves roar.

“Fine, I'll take that request.”
