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

An adventurer's guild in the capital.

There are many projects in the royal capital that many people have to ask adventurers to do, and there is a demand for adventurers. However, there were no powerful monsters near the capital, so the adventurer's strength was lower than Aleister's.

However, if an emergency situation occurs, there will be S-rank adventurers in the country, so rarely they will be put at risk. If an enemy doesn't appear who can't beat the S-rank adventurer.....

It's been a long time since I've been here, but the capital has become very busy.

A few years ago, it was devastated by a monster summoned by a ritual.

If a city that could be said to be the center of the country was destroyed, it could be seen as an opportunity and invaded by other countries. But there's a reason I didn't.

Mr. Mars!

One of the receptionists who noticed me visiting the guild raises his voice.

The voice reaches the people around me, and many people will know about my arrival.

Not only the guild staff, but also some of the adventurers turned a strange gaze and headed to the counter where the receptionist lady noticed my arrival first.

You're alone today, aren't you?

Someone from the family is always with you. But I was visiting the guild alone today.

Yeah, it's enough to just stop by and say hello.

There are fewer guild members than usual. The receptionist in front of me is also a new employee who was just hired last year, and she's just been put on an answering machine. Those who had to give up their lives for various reasons, even for other employees.

Because it is located in the King's Capital, it is easy to catch the attention of the nobility of the Marquis. Eventually, they may be sent to other cities and entrusted with the Guildmaster.

Those who are not here have not asked to work outside in order to obtain the merits necessary for success.

"The five of us are doing different things by securing lodgings and preparing various supplies."

You're lying because you don't need supplies. However, we do not know how long it will take, so we ask the family to secure the accommodation.

"Anyway, it was very helpful to have you here."

It's true.

A woman appears from the back of the counter with a calm atmosphere.

Liliana. When I first met her, she was sitting at the reception counter with her eyes closed, just like Refina's, but now she's in a position to take responsibility and respond calmly.

Her origins were common, and she was entrusted with the answering machine because she was not related to the nobleman's youngest brother's desire for a career.

What about guildmasters and submasters?

"They're going to the ruins."

An unprecedented ruin.

If we can solve this case successfully, we can undoubtedly make it a great achievement.

"Those people..."

Inadvertently I wanted to hold my head.

The top of the organization and the people under it have disappeared from the base.

As it stands, who will be in charge here?

"It's me."

"... when did you get to number three?"

“No way. Nobody wanted to do it, so I was pushed.”

I want merit, but I don't want to be held accountable for poorly putting myself in a responsible position when things go wrong.

As a result, among those remaining in the guild, those who were the youngest brothers of the nobility and were able to read and write well and had documentary abilities avoided becoming responsible.

“Now, I would like to report that you have accepted my request to explore the ruins.”

“Thank you for taking me on. Mars and the others will take care of it.”

At that time, the adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild gaze with envy and jealousy.

A lot of people saw me fight when the King's City was attacked.

An adventurer with the power to defeat monsters that escape without even being an S-rank adventurer.

There was no way that such an opponent could not be rumored, and even though nearly six years had passed since then, his name was known.

That is why we have the necessary procedures.

But why did you come here?

You could have gone straight to the ruins. All you have to do is report the arrival of the guild staff there and the request will be accepted.

So you don't have to come to the guild in the king's city.

"Please accept the order."

”Hah... I think you should ask someone outside to do it.”

No, I don't want to be involved in a power struggle.

The person who handled the procedure will be the person in charge.

If the adventurer in charge performs well, the guild personnel who supported him will also be rewarded with some kind of merit.

It's clear from whose eyes I can be credited. [M] That's what I expect, but for those who are aiming for a new life, it's like a duck that brings merit.

I don't intend to be used by such people.

Liliana's in charge.

“Are you crazy? I don't have any support.”

"Do you need our support?"

"... that's right."

That's how you convinced me to do the necessary procedures for exploring the ruins.

If there is a strong connection with the guild, you can get benefits such as discounts at stores selling equipment and consumables even in cities that are not based. But we can't afford to have our own supplies.

It is more important to avoid being used in power struggles.

Wait a minute.

A young man emerges from the back as he waits for the procedure to be carried out.

I remember that he was the young man who was originally entrusted to be away, and that he was the five men born in the house of the count somewhere. Even though he was a member of the noble family, it was unlikely that he would succeed the housemaster as a five man, and he was working in a guild to have a strong pipe between adventurers as ordered by his parents.

Those who are connected to such halfway power are neglected by the Guildmaster.

Until a little while ago, I was in a troublesome answering machine.

“Are you going to get my support!?”

Our intel was kept secret.

I knew the name, characteristics, and achievements so far, but I didn't know what kind of person it was.

I knew the Guildmaster in the guild, and I was seriously working at the front desk and was involved in the reception.

This is your chance to make the most of it. I guess I couldn't miss it.

"I'm sorry, but that's fine."

"How long are you going to stay in rank A?" If I were you, I'd have a hand in the kingdom. I'll recommend you so that you can be welcomed into the S ranks. "

I don't know anything about us at the time of these words.

Or perhaps you know it and are aiming for merit by promoting it to S rank.

“No need. I... we're not going to serve our country.”

All five of the family members have no intention of serving other than me.

I can't afford to serve the kingdom in the capital because I manage the labyrinth.

"Excuse me."

Liliana apologizes.

No labyrinth-related information has been released. However, some people know that the country has been wanting to make me an S rank adventurer for six years. But you haven't been promoted yet, so if you think about it a little bit, you'll know that you're going to decline me.

My eyes are dazzled by my greed and I don't even think about what's going on around here.

No, I don't care.

It was the performance I needed. I don't know how the people who were watching the exchange spread the rumors, but I'm sure they'll tell us again that we're not interested in power.

"The process is over."

Liliana will prepare the official documents for you.

Thank you very much.

"It was really helpful that you came to a place where you were struggling with your lack of strength."

"No. It looks like Aleister's sending Mr. Heath too, so I can't be irrelevant." And if something should happen in King's Landing, we might be in trouble. "

A lot of people are watching.

It was a hassle, but it was also necessary to avoid a bigger hassle.
