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

Maui.

A large island west of the capital of King Métis, it was famous for its hot springs. The whole island is bustling with tourists who come to warm up in winter like this.

"... it's weird."

I got off the boat and muttered unexpectedly.

We had to cross the sea to get to the island, but we were able to fly and move, but it was obvious that there would be a commotion if we did that, so we moved by boat just like tourists.

I looked around, but it didn't seem like a fatal problem was happening.

Monster raids and dramatic changes in the environment. There are no abnormalities that are easy to understand.

“We're going to need a lot of money to just call it. The client can't be called even though it doesn't make sense. But something is happening.”

The disembarking Melissa noticed the unusual magic surrounding the island.

It didn't seem like it was going to end without a thing.

"-Let's go."



Enter the Maurian Adventurer's Guild. There are many adventurers in the guild who are dressed in thin clothes, and there is a lot of heat that covers the whole island, so I don't feel that it's winter now.

If you step into a new place, it will attract attention.

It has the atmosphere of a place famous for its hot springs, but if you consider the unique atmosphere, it feels like "as usual".

Ignore such gaze and stand in front of the counter.

"Could it be... that famous Mr. Mars?"

The receptionist at the back of the counter gets up from the chair before introducing herself.

"Um... I don't know what" um "means, but my name is Mars..."

"Excuse me. The guildmaster told me that he would be here in a few days, so I was asked to show him to his room.”

This time, the client is the guildmaster here.

I needed to talk to the Guildmaster to find out the details.

Well then, please guide me.

"That's why... the Guildmaster is away." It's only been three days since I made the request. I knew we'd arrive faster than I thought, given my background, but it was actually faster than I expected. ”

When I heard that the destination was a hot spring, the female team became more motivated than usual.

Normally, considering the distance from Allister, even if a fast carriage is prepared, it will take more than a month. The Guildmasters expected us to reach them in about half a month.

In fact, since only three days have passed, it can be said that there is a problem here that has come too soon regarding the matter of being away.

"I'm sorry."

"No, I'm sorry the guildmaster is away." I'm an ex-adventurer, so I can't help but see with my own legs when problems arise, rather than being in the office. ”

Even if the guild master is away, if the supporting staff is excellent, there will be no major hindrance to the guild's operation.

"I am a young person in the guild, but if you want to explain the circumstances, I will deal with them individually."

Guided to a private room in the back of the guild, the receptionist asks Serinn about the problems surrounding Maui.

Maui has a volcano in its center.

Volcano - Mauria is an active volcano that is still active, and you can see boiling magma as you peek from the top of the mountain.

In addition to hot springs, I used to do business in volcanic tourism.

I admired that I was quite a merchant, but there was a reason I could do that.

I don't know when, but there was a fire dragon inside the volcano.

At least a hundred years before the start of the volcano tourism project, it was possible to confirm the existence of the fire dragon.

The fire dragon was sleeping in the volcano without attacking anyone, and as I remembered, it sometimes flew out, but after a few days it returned to the volcano, which was a nest.

The presence of fire dragons was important for the sightseeing of the active volcano, the Mauria Volcano.

The Fire Dragon did not need food to survive, and it maintained its life by devouring the magical power of the volcano. As a result, the activity of the volcano was suppressed at the surface by the predation of the fire dragon, and only the blessing of the hot spring was brought to the surrounding area.

Fire dragons have become an indispensable part of life on the island of Maui, and some of them have been sacrificed.

"What we heard in Aleister's guild was' Volcano Investigation '."

"No way... the Fire Dragon attacked people!?" Then I have to go right away! "

I stopped Aira from leaving the room.

"Isla"

What is it?

"Don't worry about that. If the Fire Dragon is really coming, the guild is too calm."

The atmosphere of the guild looked like 'business as usual'.

All that can be thought of is that there is a disturbance or that there is no impending problem that needs to be rushed.

“Yes, the Adventurer's Guild has announced that the volcano is clear of fire dragons and that the volcano is still stable. That was about a year ago."

The absence of the fire dragon was a daily occurrence for the inhabitants of the island.

And even if the fire dragon disappeared, it was still the same as before, so the absence of the fire dragon was about to be forgotten.

But that's not possible.

There was no doubt that the volcano was stabilized by the fire dragon.

Even in the absence of fire dragons, the volcano is stable, which means that factors other than fire dragons are likely to be stable.

"Many adventurers judge that there are no problems even in the absence of the fire dragon, and continue their activities as before." But Guildmaster alone is still investigating the volcano independently after a year. ”

But even after a year, the investigation is not good.

Although I have requested to cooperate with the survey by posting a request form on the Alliance's board, the information from ordinary adventurers is not good.

So even if it's expensive, we decided to hire [unusual] us.

"The Guildmaster is still in the volcano today. I want to ask you to investigate the volcano, which remains stable even after the fire dragon is gone, and to find out the whereabouts of the missing fire dragon.”

The fire dragon suddenly disappeared, and no one saw it fly away. I was expecting the guild to die out of sight. Otherwise, I don't know why I lost sight of the dragon giant when I had a human eye.

"I understand the situation. Let's start with the volcano.”

“Please, the guildmaster has booked me the finest place. We look forward to hearing from you.”

The finest.

I followed the adventurer's guild with my heart pounding at the words.
