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

It wasn't the reception room on the second floor of the guild that took the village chiefs… it was one of the tables at the corner of the tavern, which was co-located on the first floor.

The guild has important clients, some reception rooms to use when they don't want to be asked what the story is about, but the village chiefs were not guided there. I mean, the village chiefs aren't important clients. At the same time, what we were going to talk about was something we were going to let the adventurers around us hear rather than have a problem with being asked.

"So what was wrong with our request?

I was quick to hear that I would take a sip of the coffee carried by the waitress and calm it down.

The village of Dayton should still be in a hurry in critical situations.

However, considering that it was in such a state, the village chiefs did not question that the place of discussion was a liquor store. Normally, you would find it strange. Nevertheless, I let the conversation resume normally. That means the village chief doesn't know the world.

"First, check the details of the request. I checked the request yesterday, but I'm pretty sure it was a demon crusade."

"Oh......"

I affirm even though the village chief is grumpy about my attitude.

I don't intend to use any more salutations against the village chiefs.

"How many demons?

According to those who checked in the woods, there are hundreds of them.

"Even if you say a few hundred, the range is wide. How many hundreds exactly are there?

The village chief lost a few seconds,

"I hear 200 to 300"

"Yes. Out"

Everyone in the Adventurers Guild knows it's a lie or lack of information.

"What do you mean?

"There are hundreds of demons, but in the worst case scenario, they can reach a thousand."

The mayor's expression was blue when he heard the number.

"Is it true...? No, how do you know that in the first place!?

Apparently, the village chief didn't know the exact number.

"Of course it's decided because I've already looked into it"

"I looked it up, you say!?

It was three days ago that the village chief found out there was a big demon outbreak in the woods.

Then, discussions were held only with the famous soldiers and the soldier chief, who decided to ask for rescue in the city of Alistair. I relied first on my lord, the Count, but from the Count I got a gate advance, and I was to rely on the Adventurer Guild.

As village chief, I meant to move fast, but I guess the guild seemed to be moving faster than that.

I had no choice, so I decided to make a seed.

"The Alliance has already been asked by a pedestrian to investigate a demonic roar in the woods near Dayton Village."

An adventurer with fast legs and excellent reconnaissance skills was on his way to investigate when a pedestrian came running to the guild the morning the adventurer was making a noise over a Riel Grass emergency request. For pedestrians, the place where they can do business is important, but their lives are more important than that. If the village you're always out in may be dangerous, you need to find out.

Thanks to this, the next day, not only the guild, but also the lords, were able to obtain more accurate information than the village chiefs had known, such as the number and quality of demons.

"That's what you're talking about?

Seems I don't know yet, so I decided to teach.

"It's not hundreds of demons we're going to defeat. It's about a thousand demons. How much power do you think it takes to deal with a thousand demons, even though you're wrong because of what you asked for?

The village chief was leaning on his neck, a shuddered Mr. Routie told him.

"We can't just let them take requests that we know are dangerous even this one. If you're going to get a request, it's not enough to have at least a hundred adventurers standing up."

In the city of Alistair, there were sometimes labyrinths nearby that stood up for an armful of adventurers - more than a hundred adventurers above the C-rank.

However, the problem is the compensation for the number of people.

"As I explained, it pays too little. He said he would give out ten gold coins, but it's not strange to give one to ten gold coins per person if you're going to ask an armed adventurer for dangerous requests. You're saying that you can only give ten gold coins to over a hundred people - less than one silver coin per person."

There's only one silver coin at risk for your life. How many adventurers get a request?

The answer is no.

"So what do you want me to do! In a small village like ours, it's hard to just have ten gold coins!

The village chief kicked it out.

Several adventurers from small villages were sympathetic to the words. I decided to teach the village chiefs about their incorrect behavior because I have trouble being asked by the village chief because they have been sympathetic to me.

"Were the village chiefs interrupting the forest demons in the first place?

"Oh, the demons approaching the village had been exterminated."

"That village, then, is not enough. It usually increases slowly, but rapidly increases in growth speed beyond a hundred and out of hand. That's why we need to go straight out into the woods and make a mistake so we don't get more than a hundred."

It is believed that this has to do with the magic bubble in the woods, but I do not know the details.

When I saw the look on the face of not only the village chief but also the soldier chief, I couldn't say anything and my mouth was puckering.

"So it is the responsibility of the village chiefs and soldiers who were so out of hand that this happened to more than a hundred"

"How do you know that?"

'Cause, of course, my father taught me.

I didn't know when I was in the village either.

The source is my father, who reproduced it with the jewels of the dead soul.

"My father, who was just one soldier, inherited instructions from his predecessor, and even crusaded the woods with everyone else. On the contrary, how come the village chiefs and soldiers who are in charge of the village don't know?

When I heard my question, the adventurers around me were nodding yeah.

The expression did not include sympathy or anything else already.

"My father hasn't told me that!

"What about the soldier chief?

"I was also just told by my father that 'Forest demons are to be crusaded regularly' and I haven't even heard why"

How can you not know?

Perhaps the two fathers, they explained it properly, but the three idiots have listened appropriately to the stories from their fathers.

"Whatever the circumstances, it's a problem that the person responsible doesn't know such an important thing. And it's a breach of contract."

"Breach of contract?

What I knew from the fact that I didn't know the circumstances that the forest would have, but I still didn't know about the contract that was exchanged with the Count, the lord.

"As I explained earlier about that forest. And it is up to us to maintain all the villages on our own as a condition of obtaining permission from the Count when we pioneer."

I guess that's why the Count paid the front door, too.

It is told by the Alliance to the Count that there is a great outbreak of demons in the forest. If the village chief of Dayton comes in under such circumstances, he knows what to do.

In other words, the village chief had to rely on the Adventurer Guild from the start.

But he didn't even have a reward commensurate with the degree of danger, so he can't even attract adventurers.

"I should have responded sooner if I was going to respond."

"All of a sudden, there's been a big outbreak. I don't know how we..."

"That's a mistake, too. It started more than two months ago."

"What?"

"I've exorcised a bunch of demons who came from somewhere on a request I just got up to the E rank, where do you think they came from?

This was also taught by the jewels of the Dead Soul, but the perception that the villages of Sails and Dayton were close because of the distance is difficult to hold, but the forest continued to bypass just because there were mountains in between.

This means that Warwolf, who lived near Sayles Village, was a demon who originally lived in a forest near Dayton Village, and escaped because the effects of the demon outbreak produced a demon stronger than himself.

"Hey, if you knew there was a big outbreak of demons, why didn't you take them down!? No, I should have just let you know."

"No, you should wait for a crusade request because all you get is demonic material where you knock it down, even though you didn't get a crusade request. I didn't confirm the request every day either, so I just assumed it was crusaded from not being asked for at all."

"Oh, don't you have any thoughts about saving your hometown?

I don't think so.

He's going to appeal to my conscience thinking about his hometown...

"I don't already have the same conscience to think of my raw hatred and my expelled home. The only option left to you is to honestly accept doom."

"You don't have to get knights or soldiers... me, if you get adventurers, it's still possible..."

"That unfortunately can't be. The armed adventurers I mentioned earlier, but they have already been hired by their lords to defend the city of Alistair. I don't think you can pay more than a lord, and it means you won't be able to work in this area, such as declining a request from a lord once you've received it. If you ask me which way to get to the Count or the Village Chief... you are the Count."

The village chief has been depressed.

I don't have a choice. Do you want me to give you a hand here?

It is not the hand of salvation, etc. It's a hand to drag you down to hell.
