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

He also sold the material obtained by defeating the demons to earn extraordinary income.

I used that money to pay for the purchase of the house, and I spent the whole time in a yard in the sun.

I can go out to work on a request at the guild, but it looks interesting... I haven't had just the right request so I'm spending a whole lot of time.

It wasn't that I didn't have requests that I couldn't take, but I didn't have a party and I can't take difficult requests on my own because I work solo. Mixing with other parties and taking requests, as before, was also feared for some reason because rumors of strength that defeated the demons walked alone. Thanks to this, I can no longer mix with other parties until the rumors settle.

"I'm free..."

But it's good to have a relaxing time like this.

It's a precious time to calm down because my father's been through a busy day of things since he went missing.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm bored that nothing moves."

A voice echoes directly into my head.

The owner of this voice belongs to the Labyrinth Nucleus (Dungeon Core), which is managed in the Labyrinth. There is an invisible path between me, the Lord of the Labyrinth (Dungeon Master), and the nucleus of the Labyrinth, which allows me to peek into their condition.

The labyrinth nucleus is taking a quick peek at me like this if you have time.

For those who are spared time, it would just be boring to see them neat.

But that's none of my business.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I've got enough money over here to afford to live. It'll be boring for you for a while."

"No!? If this happens, I'll keep you busy with the power of the curse!

"Dude, I can't use labyrinth magic on you."

With Labyrinth Magic, it will also be possible to curse the target because there are demons in the Labyrinth that can use the curse, but Labyrinth Magic is a magic reserved for Labyrinth lords. I can't believe how much, where the labyrinth nucleus wished, things would move and get busy...

"Is Mars here!?

That's when my brother, who looked panicked, came home with a chattering noise.

Chatter?

Apparently, he came home with his armor on. Well, you do. It's only past noon, and my sister is out with the help of her mother, who works in the store. Normally it's time to work. There's something wrong with me being neat at home the last few days.

My brother must have come home on business for me, too.

But a knight runs errands on me...... you only have a bad feeling.

"No, he's out"

"Are you there!?

I was gonna make a little joke, but he pissed me off. He was in a bit of a hurry than that, and he had a look he couldn't afford.

"Is something wrong?

"Oh, Count Alistair is calling"

The Count?

Well, I can't think of any other reason why my brother, who's supposed to be on duty, should come and get me, but did he do something?

"What can I do for you?

"I don't know. The Count just told me to bring him in."

Well, I just met the Alliance Master during this time, and I thought it was only a matter of time before I was called by my lord, the Count.

Besides, you can't ignore it given the face of your brother, who is a knight.

"Okay. I was free, and I'll be on my way."

"It would help if you did."

The two of us head to the Lords' Hall in the heart of the city.

The centre is an aristocratic neighborhood inhabited by aristocrats, lined with luxurious buildings. The house I bought is also a substitute for what can be called a mansion, but it was built by a merchant. It looks cheaper compared to a house where nobles live or use it as a separate residence.

I let my gaze wander unexpectedly into a sight I don't normally see.

"Don't be too keen. They're packing up soldiers for security, so they'll think you're suspicious."

One way or the other, the knight is taking you, so aren't you being seen by criminals being taken somewhere?

I don't like that.

When I arrive at the mansion, I stop in front of the biggest mansion, and when I talk to the gatekeeper who was guarding me in front of the gate, I go inside. That's a knight. Looks like we can get into the Count's mansion just to talk a little bit.

Continue deep inside the mansion and stop in front of the luxurious doors. It's a room I used when I visited to pay back my money before.

"There is the Earl of Alistair ahead. You think you're okay, but you're rude if you're wrong."

It's not like I'm seeing him for the first time, but my brother was very worried about why.

"We've brought Mars the Adventurer"

"Get in."

"Ha."

Unlike a casual voice like when we met before, you can hear an awesome low voice coming through the back of the door.

The Earl was sitting on a luxurious couch when he was led by his brother and into the room, and behind the couch was refrained by a deacon man with white hair and monocle and an adventurous man wearing glasses and a robe with sharp eyes.

I know there's a butler because it's a lord's hall, but I don't know why adventurers are present.

"Sit down."

The Count urges me to sit on the couch that is face-to-face for now.

My brother is waiting at the entrance to the room as a knight. No, that would be a measure to keep the entrance and exit from being blocked in the event.

"Count, you asked me if I had something to do, what kind of errand would it be?"

"Shall I start by thanking you on the other day's demon crusade? Thanks to you, I was able to solve it without any harm."

"You don't have to worry so much about that. Because as an adventurer, I was asked to crusade, and I moved for personal reasons."

"We know what's going on here, so we're not going to pursue it in depth."

At that time, a maid serving the hall brings tea and puts it in front of me and the Count.

I take the cup because I walked all the way here and my throat was just dry.

"I just have to make sure that's all. About the way you crusaded demons in Dayton Village."

After all, have you heard that?

He thought the Count would also ask him at the time of suspicion from the Alliance Master.

"Can I show you a status card, too?

Since then, I've fished for materials in my guild and even solo searched for adventurers who could defeat 1,000 demons. It turned out that there were adventurers who had once accomplished it in the A-rank, although they had difficulty finding it because of the small number of instances themselves where such a number of demons had surrendered.

So, I let the labyrinth nucleus disclose the status of an A-rank adventurer who visited the labyrinth for hundreds of years, dropping the status card numbers from one end to an average of about 2000. It's not enough to defeat a thousand demons, but it was decided that there was made up for by the equipment.

We're already getting ready.

When I try to retrieve my status card, the feeling of something being able to play runs through my whole body. What the fuck?

"... Huh!

I found an adventurer man breathtaking behind the Count.

I was wondering if something had been done, and the feeling was similar when Almira, the caretaker at the entrance to the labyrinth, used her skills. Did they use the appraisal?

"No, I don't need to check my status card. I checked with the Alliance, and it seems that when you signed up as an Adventurer, your status wasn't such that you could defeat a thousand demons."

"Thanks to the increase in level, the status also increased significantly."

"It could be. But there are so many ways in the world to fake a status. There's no guarantee that you're not faking a status card."

The Count was on guard from the start when he said he had prepared a lot.

Damn, you're all that worried about being with the labyrinth nucleus.

"You're starting to get rough."

True. Even considering the adventurer used the appraisal earlier, I'm guessing the Count will trust my status that the adventurer found out about.

And the guy at Labyrinth Nucleus enjoys this situation.

Or how I reacted when they used the appraisal just now.

How many times have I checked that the results have not changed?
