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

Hiding in the shadows of the rocks some distance from the Wang capital, the Labyrinth Magic: Using the transfer, you travel in an instant for a ten-day carriage ride back to the Labyrinth near the city of Alistair.

From there, if you run at full speed, we'll get to the city in no time.

The destination is the mansion where we live.

From there we head to a store that specializes in the liquor behind us.

When you go inside, you're not like the housewife who came to buy alcohol for dinner. She is also a stable income person who lives nearby and is often different when she comes shopping with Sylvia, etc.

"There you are."

One man greeted me as I entered the store.

He was the owner of this store, who had communicated each other's names when he first used them, and only named them 'Gaelio' at that time.

"Today, what do you want?

There's only Sylvia and Ira next to me.

For starters, the three of us came to make sure it was only the least.

"Good evening, Mr. Gaelio. Actually, I didn't come shopping today."

Mr. Gaelio is more impressed with Silvia coming shopping with liquor and other things to use for cooking, and he is recognised as a courteous child because Silvia goes to greet the neighborhood and the shops she will be using on the day she is to live in the mansion.

"On what business?

Mr. Gaelio doesn't smile when he finds out he's not a shopper.

"I'll ask your name again. Mr. Gaelio Ragway?"

"... where did you get that name?

After all, was it "Gaelio Ragway"?

I heard his name the first time I saw him, but I didn't realize it right away because I hadn't even heard his family name.

"I should not have named my family once since I came to this city. That name is a name I threw away in the past. Now it's a civilian gaelio."

You didn't name your family name, you just stopped naming your family to live as civilians because you are no longer noble?

That's enough to ask.

"Actually, someone wants you to meet Mr. Gaelio?

"Someone you want me to meet?

One girl comes in from the outside when we avoid the side and see the entrance to the store.

The girl had beautiful silver hair glittering all over her body in the sunset coming in from the outside.

At first, it was Mr. Gaelio, who did not know who the girl was, but gradually began to overlap with the shadow of her childhood as she looked at the girl's face, and the name of one person came to life naturally.

"... Melissa?

"Long time no see, Father"

I haven't seen him in five years. It's a long time.

Five years, especially as a child, is enough time to turn a girl into an adult.

"What's up?

At that time, Mr. Michelle appears from the back after sensing the disturbing air in the store.

"Melissa!"

Unlike Mr. Gaelio, Mr. Michelle jumps and accidentally hugs him, discerning that he is Melissa from the moment he sees it.

Those who have embraced and those who have been embraced are weeping.

"I'm sorry... let me be alone, hey..."

"No, I don't... I missed you, but I wasn't alone"

Mr. Gaelio comforts the two people who keep crying by standing next to him.

This is where the family reunites.

We, outsiders, decided to disperse and try to get out of the store.

"Oh, brother, you were already home."

"Welcome home, brother. And your sisters."

I just ran into Chris, who I think is going back to school.

"I'm home, Chris, Liana. Then..."

There were two girls next to Chris, one of them Liana, Sylvia's sister, but she didn't know the other girl.

"Nice to meet you, Chris' brother"

Girl with silver hair bows her head.

Because I recognize the girl who looked alike, I knew immediately what the other person's identity was.

"I'm Chris' friend and I say Meryl"

I knew it was Meryl, Melissa's sister.

Nevertheless, were the three sisters friends where their brother or sister did not know?

"Uh, I kind of hear people crying from our store..."

Meryl also has the right to be reunited.

"People are coming to the store. Meryl knows who you are, so you should go."

"Huh."

Meryl walked into the store and added one person's crying voice.

"I don't know... I showed my embarrassment yesterday"

I took Chris and Liana back to the mansion and checked with Melissa on the reading, and she was visiting under Mr. Gaelio the next day because it meant she wasn't settled yet.

"No, it's my first family reunion in five years. There will be a lot of stories."

We're talking in the living room that's at home behind the store, with Silvia and Ira sitting next to me, and Mr. Gaelio and Mr. Michelle sitting in the front. Melissa is sitting next to it, holding Meryl on her lap so that she doesn't fall. It seems to be the perfect thing to do after we meet again.

"I'd like to thank you more than that. I heard what happened in the days since I met you. [M] I also hear about the identity of the bandits who showed up on our territory and their backlash. My daughter just told me what she did, but she didn't tell me why she could have done that"

I'm not talking, I can't.

We have to keep it a secret that we're involved with the labyrinth. You are ordered not to speak without my permission.

If I give permission, Melissa will be able to talk.

It's just...

"Melissa, do you think you should talk?

Melissa, who is ordained, was not even able to convey that will.

"We shouldn't talk about it. There are many things in the world that you should not know. I believe what you don't know will lead you to protect yourself."

I agree with that opinion.

I told my family, but I don't have to get into any trouble knowing.

If that's what Melissa thought, all I have to do is respect that will.

"Really? I wouldn't disagree if my daughter decided to."

Mr. Gaelio pulls back.

I was relieved that I didn't insist on being heard either.

"By the way, why is Mr. Gaelio in Alistair?

"The day the bandits attacked me. After letting only Melissa go, I entrusted Meryl to my wife to let her go, and I was going to surrender as a lord. But when they found out I was a lord, the bandits slaughtered me without negotiating. Still, you were lucky. It didn't end up dying, and I was thrown out of town when I was able to stop my life. Then my wife, worried about me and hiding nearby, helped me."

I guess the real purpose of the bandits was to put another human being on the lord, so it was easier to do it dead than alive poorly.

"From then on, we left the territory to flee. It's only a matter of me being killed, so I fled to Alistair, the periphery, without fleeing to the king's capital."

Then I was able to live thanks to the fact that I was supposed to rely on a handout when I was playing lord while hiding my identity and being entrusted with the store by a merchant I knew. The store seems to be this liquor store.

"I was also going to make a request to find a daughter whose life was stable and who ran away if I saved money. I never thought my daughter was better at business and made more money than me."

Mr. Gaelio laughs bitterly.

At an early age, Melissa was a normal girl who liked to read books, and she wasn't even an actionable girl who would find patrons who would give her money to buy a town to the extent that she could use a little magic.

That and all this is the ability I've acquired in the five years since I flew out of my hometown.

"Mr. Gaelio, what are you going to do?

"According to what I've told my daughter, there doesn't seem to be any bandits anymore, and I'd like to start by going to the King's Capital and thanking Mr. Tech for raising my daughter"

"Then ask us because you don't need a reward or anything."

"Are you sure?

'Cause that's what she'd want.'

I want to fulfill the wishes of my family members who are following me as Lord.

If that's what you need to escort to the King's Capital, it's a simple request.

"Thank you. I can't thank you enough. My daughter brought me here, and she made my daughter's wish come true."

I didn't feel like I was doing anything special.

Even if I didn't have to give you the pendulum dowsing to locate Mr. Gaelio's current location, I would have gotten the information if I had waited in the guild for a few days.

Plus the bandits were escorting us, so they just devastated us, including the guys in Asia.

"I'm just afraid to ask someone like that to do this..."

"What is it?

"Would you mind keeping Melissa at your mansion for a while?"

... Huh?

To the mansion where we live without living with our reunited family?

"May I ask why?

Melissa herself answered that.

"I am already independent. It's enough to be reunited. Plus it takes less than five minutes to walk from the mansion. So let me live in the mansion too"

"It's also embarrassing for me, my father, to say this, but if I live in this house, my daughter will see and help us work busily. But it's not sneaky for a talented person to waste time in a liquor store like this. So I want my daughter to live away."

However, there should still have been some extra rooms, and there shouldn't have been any problems with more new residents.

Sylvia, a maid of honor, is more familiar with this kind of thing, so when I looked at her, she nodded.

"I don't mind if I have extra room."

"Thank you"
