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

"All right, we're going to the labyrinth."

"Today is the day after the full moon. We'll find him thoroughly."

It was a full moon day - a day when changes took place in the structure of the labyrinth and the contents of depleted resources and crates were replenished. At that time, the directions like the maze have changed, and the location of the crate has moved to a completely different location, so we have to look again.

But it was definitely time to make money for adventurers who dream of winning a thousand bucks.

(No, thank you very much)

In order for the Labyrinth to replenish resources and so on, it was using a little bit of magic exploited so that it was unknown to the intruders, the adventurers.

For this reason, it makes me happy to see people trying to challenge the labyrinth with exasperation in this way.

Yesterday, a structural change occurred in the labyrinth, the first structural change since becoming a labyrinth master (dungeon master), which was made to be observed while waiting at the lowest level where no structural change took place.

Observing from the lowest level under the authority of the Labyrinth Lord, in Cave Field, rocky passages assembled like puzzles moved around, forming completely different passages than before.

In the meadow field beneath it, when the wall-like light ran through the field, the cropped plants were growing to their original state in the next moment.

Places had been restored back to normal like eaten scattered in other fields as well.

But the labyrinth nucleus (dungeon core) said all of this was something that managed to do the magic gathered just before and only made the minimum change. Even though that was the only thing I had done, the magic accumulated by the labyrinth was on the verge of depletion.

(You should set this up a little bit more on me)

After trying not to make structural changes, such as after the 55th basement, where no-one would enter now, I was allowed a little more number of crates between the first and 10th basements.

That doesn't seem to be enough.

"Oh, you..."

"Oh, you are."

Stepping into the guild made my eyes meet with the person who tried to leave with a flimsy foothold. The person was a fellow former bandit adventurer and supporter who had been attacked in a hidden room. I mean, I didn't lay my hands on it, so unlike the rest of us, I'm the adventurer I missed for you.

"Coming up, request?

"No, the adventurer has already decided to quit."

"That's, again, why?

I didn't even bother to go out with you, but I was wondering what my supporter Doz was going to do now.

If you suspect me or cause harm, you have to deal with it.

"Quite a few adventurers accustomed to the labyrinth paid for a breakdown and managed to dive into the labyrinth for just one day to do a search for a fellow I couldn't find, but I couldn't find just two of them,"

That's right.

Even if we searched down to the sixth basement, those two bodies were allowed to hide on the other side of the wall isolated by structural changes. We had to wait until yesterday, the day of the full moon, because massive structural changes were needed to absorb the bodies.

For that reason, I was allowed to hide it on the other side of the wall. In order to find that body, we needed the means to break down the wall. An adventurer who could only search for it for a day couldn't have bothered to take such gear, and they were told by the labyrinth nucleus that they had just recovered the body that was in the stash room after searching from the second basement to the fourth basement.

"So why did you quit being an adventurer?"

"To be honest, I'm not as strong as my people. The strongest for me was the leader. That leader didn't come home after challenging the labyrinth... not just challenging the labyrinth anymore, but getting scared of being an adventurer in itself"

"Right. What are we gonna do now?

"I haven't decided in particular, but I have the treasure I found in the labyrinth, so I'm going to try and start with that in the stalls as well. As a supporter, I was always on cooking duty, so I'm pretty confident in cooking."

"Well, I'll go eat when the stalls are ready."

"Is that true!?

"Oh, because I'm not one of those people I don't know, and I'm sorry about all my people"

It was a real shame about them.

If I had lived truly as an adventurer and had nothing to do with it, I might have taken Doz to the labyrinth by now, just like the adventurers who were in front of the Adventurers Guild.

So I never find it sad.

"Oh, um..."

Doz said something. I do.

Yeah, Doz just heard the story, but you know I was raided by them.

I tell him with a smile.

"It's okay. What he did, I'm going to water you up."

"That's true!?

I whisper as I approach Doz's ear.

"Yeah, it's pointless where I'm mad at someone who's already dead, and I'm refreshed too"

"After all, you......!

He wasn't stupid enough not to realize what my words meant.

And even if you want to pursue me, there's no proof. And the Adventurer Guild doesn't give me control over private fights. Before that, it was ourselves who made the hand first in the rookie hunt. Nobody can help me if I deserve it.

"I will contribute to your sales properly."

Beat him on the shoulder once and head to the counter.

Before I got to the counter, Doz was behind the guild with his lips bitten off by his helplessness.

Ignoring someone like that, I stand in front of the receptionist's sister - the counter where Mr. Rooty is - who was naturally in charge.

Looks like Mr. Rooty noticed me approaching him, too.

"Oh, Mars, aren't you going to the labyrinth?

"No, I'm not going to dive into the labyrinth for a while. Because I could pay off my debts, too."

I know about debt because my mother and sister told Mr. Rooty a lot about things in the Adventurer Guild.

"Was I? Five adventurers couldn't come back from the labyrinth the other day, so if you haven't been cornered that far with your strength, Mars, you don't even have to go to the labyrinth. So, what business are you on today?

The adventurer didn't have the requisition slip despite having errands for the receptionist.

There were other errands, such as asking me to buy demonic materials and demonic stones that had been dismantled, but now I just look palm.

(No, speaking of which, he had a storage ring, didn't he)

I didn't even ask how much I could store, but I still didn't bring it in because I was handy.

But I'm not here to take requests or to ask you to buy them.

"Actually, I'd like to make a request. So, I was hoping that Mr. Rooty could talk to me."

Let me ask you something.

"Actually, my father's been missing for about a week now, and I'd like to gather information on if anyone saw my father this past week."

"Sightings, is it..."

Mr. Rooty was thinking about what I asked for.

"What happens to the reward?

"We believe that if it was a powerful piece of information, we could pay about gold."

Mr. Rooty is surprised by the amount.

But for me now, that amount of money has come to a level where I can pom.

"So that's all you mean...... then, five large silver coins if it was powerful information because it's a bit much. I wonder if it would be reasonable to have about five silver coins even if it was uncertain information. Because there is a possibility that some of the uncertain information may be misleading."

As far as I'm concerned, I was going to get information by giving the person who gave me the reliable information a high reward, but if you ask me, I could certainly think of such possibilities.

"So I can't gather information if I don't know what the characteristics of the search are, but do you have any sketches?

"I don't have a sketch, but I brought a statue"

When magic flows through the storage ring, a chest statue made of pong and dirt appears over the hands of nothing.

To be honest, I haven't been picturesque for a long time. I haven't tried it in a long time, but the ones depicted on the paper didn't even look like people's faces instead of resembling each other.

So I magically deformed the soil as it was in my image to create a bust.

I spent a lot of magic because I was pretty focused. I'm glad I had a lot of magic thanks to being a labyrinth lord.

"May I keep this one?

"Yes, go ahead"

"Now let me draw a sketch on the request form here based on this bust. In time, I will try to show you this bust if you have asked for more information. You will be charged for creating a requisition form, are you sure you want to create one here?

Again, adventurers will need sketches to solicit information on a request form.

I have no choice but to leave it to you.

"Please"

"Okay, deposits, please"

"Deposit?

Words came out that I couldn't hear.

"Speaking of which, you never even got a request. When making a request, it is normal for the adventurer to take a few days from receiving the request to completing it. In the meantime, we are going to ask the Alliance to keep a portion of the reward to avoid the fact that the client cannot be paid at all for any reason. In most cases, you are expected to deposit between 10% and 20% of the reward amount."

In other words, in my case, I need to deposit between 1 and 20% of the 5 large silver coins - 5 silver coins - 1 large silver coin, which is the reward for getting powerful information.

Plus, I'll pay a silver coin as a fee for the requisition. They're going to pay a little more for writing even sketches.

"Now we have accepted the request. Ask when you come to the Adventurers Guild for information"

Apparently, they don't have the kind of service to come and tell me when the information is available.
