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

After a short walk through the lost woods, I see a place surrounded by wooden fences.

"I'm in the elf."

"What scale is it in there?

The fence lasted long to the left and right of the street, with the ends hidden in the trees and invisible.

It looks like it could be bigger than Alistair, a city, considering the extent to which it can be seen on the map (map).

I could see before I approached the inside as to why that much breadth was needed.

"What is that size?"

"That's the god tree Yugdrasil."

Mr. Louise is laughing like a kid whose flirting has succeeded.

The first time I saw the Divine Tree Yugdrasil, we can only be surprised.

"How many meters on earth are there?

There was a giant tree in the center of the inside.

No, you're not. Inside was built around the Divine Tree.

"I don't know because I've never weighed it, but it would be at least a kilometer in size"

There are many other trees beside the Divine Tree that can just be called the Great Tree.

But the greater the great tree looked thin, the greater the divine tree.

"This is the inside of the elf. It's time to go."

Proceed with the leg you had stopped to look up at the Divine Tree.

There was a wooden gate on the street leading into the elf, and in front of the gate stood two men with spears, not so different from us in appearance age.

"Who is it?

"I'm a cop."

"Louise?"

The gatekeeper was wary that a stranger had appeared.

But the person who was the gatekeeper also lifted his guard only a little when his hometown, Mr. Louise, walked out.

"What the hell are you doing here?

"What. Always a traded Alistair merchant came to investigate when he heard that the traffic from the inside was interrupted and in trouble. Yesterday I thought I was kicked out of the lost woods along the way, and I've crusaded demons, and I've seen giant spiders in the woods. Can you tell me more about it?

"... ok. I'm gonna hang it up there right now."

A man who seems to know Mr. Louise walks inside.

"How are you guys?

"At least I'm going to be healthy enough to be able to live longer than you when aging starts."

"What is aging toward women? At least call it growth."

"Hmm... when I was a kid, the death of the other guy I played with is approaching. I'm still going to take care of this."

Again, it seems that the man who was the gatekeeper inside the elf was an elf.

Besides, he's the same age as Mr. Louise, over 90, even though he doesn't look so different from us.

The elf man who went inside returns when Mr. Louise is blooming in his old story that way.

"They say the elders meet. I got clearance to go inside."

"Totally... it's a cold village to say that an elf born in the same neighborhood has returned home and needs permission"

"I say that every time I come home. Exactly. The elders were children, too. I have a burden for kicking you out inside. That's why I'm allowed to stay for a short time."

"I know about that. They're good too."

Permission granted.

Apparently, we have no problem getting in there, either.

Enter while led by the man at the gatekeeper.

"This is..."

The moment I dived the gate, the world changed.

The lost forest continued to kill a landscaped world for reasons different from the wilderness because similar trees were planted at equal intervals to lead people astray and the sun's light did not come in because of the depressed and lush leaves.

But inside the elves are completely different.

The sunlight arrived from the sky while in the same forest, a house was being built by the great tree inside, and the women were colluding with a gentle grin next to the flow of waterways needed for their lives. A little further away, four young children, similar to the women who were bickering, were playing with the ball.

He smiles and waves when he realizes that one of the women who was bickering is being watched by us.

There shouldn't be a lot of human visitors in the elves, but there's nothing like being rejected because of Mr. Louise's company, and it seems welcome.

"I thought you might be having trouble in the woods because you can't come to Alistair, but that's not happening."

Melissa asks the man at the gatekeeper as he checks on the inside.

"We elves can afford to live a hundred years young as long as we have the protection of the Divine Tree. Because of that, I became just a laid-back person who wouldn't move in some crisis. I'm having trouble telling you one thing about this one, but the elders told me 'time will fix it,' so it's a situation where most people believe the word and live their normal lives."

"I knew it..."

Mr. Louise, who had been able to anticipate this situation, was troubled by the situation inside.

If it's an elf, you won't leave unless it's something special. I guess that means I won't have any trouble even if I have to pull into a cage for it.

But it's only some of them.

You really shouldn't have to do business with Alistair or anything if your life is going to be complete just inside.

The fact that commerce is still being carried on is nothing more than that some people need what they get from commerce.

"We're here."

You arrive at a house built at the roots of the Divine Tree Yugdrasil in the center of the inside as you walk to see what's going on inside.

There are elf elders in this house.

But it's a small dwelling for an elf elder to live in.

"I hope you don't get me wrong. This building doesn't live in a building that elders use when they have meetings or anything. If you live in a mansion that you usually live in, there's something bigger."

"I see."

In other words, I'm convinced it's something like a rally hall.

"Elder, I've brought Louise"

"Come on in."

I hear voices from inside the house.

Five men sat on the other side of the big round table just because there was a large room in the house like a living room when the gatekeeper opened the door of the house and started letting it in.

The elders they call the gatekeepers.

But there are Elf (...) elders there.

I imagined an old man like my grandfather from the word elders, but sitting in front of a round table was a young man who looked like he was about twenty.

"Hmm. Long time no see, Elders. Looks like you haven't changed."

"Louise... it's been since you made the decision to kick you out. You never met us, the elders, even after coming back inside a few times."

"The reason I came home is because I came home with my husband to report my marriage and I just came to show my parents my birth son or grandson. Grandchildren and great-grandchildren to them. You have every right to be happy with your birth. So I had no reason to face the elders."

Mr. Louise talks as he sits across from a leader like a man among the five elders.

We don't know what to do, so we stay behind Mr. Louise.

"So, can I ask you why you're back this time?

"Looks like you haven't been to Alistair in two months. It depends on why you're wondering."

"About that."

The elder who was talking to Mr. Louise doesn't pick his forehead and worries.

The elders on the left and right also seemed worried about whether it was okay to talk.

"Sounds like you're saying to the guys in there like 'time will fix it,' but I'm guessing that's for sure"

"No, what we're doing with that explanation is talking about the general level. You can say things are more serious than that."

"... I ran into a giant spider in the woods. What does that have to do with you?

"If you've already encountered one of the three catastrophes, it's quick to talk. About two months ago, three giant demons that you've never seen before suddenly appeared. We call them giant spiders (Giant Spiders) because we have trouble without names. The enormous demons you encounter are trekking through the woods with our faces, preventing us from getting out of the woods."

One of the three.

Silvia's expression fades when there are two other such demons.
