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

"Oh, Mars, you're just in the right place!

It's been a long time since I've brought Illis to visit the Alliance, and my representative, Mr. Rooty, immediately found me.

"He hasn't been here lately, so I was worried."

"I'm sorry. I was a little caged in the labyrinth."

I spent nearly a month remodeling the 82nd basement floor.

If I noticed, I was about to plug in at the end of June.

"But you've come to the right place. Could you hang out for a minute?

"Is something wrong?

"Here's a little..."

Mr. Rooty has a broken tooth and the words become butt blurred.

Talk to your neighbor, Iris, face to face.

'What do you think?

'I'm probably going to make a request for something that people in the guild can't tell you. Sometimes A-rank makes sensitive requests. "

If it's about being an adventurer, Illis is more used to it than I am.

Confirm in the reading, not in eye contact.

"Okay. I want to know what's going on."

"Thank you"

Mr. Rooty, who panicked on my visit, comes back to us with materials from behind the drawer when he closes the counter where he was sitting so no one could use it.

Mr. Rooty takes my arm and takes me upstairs.

I don't know how in a hurry. I hit my chest on my arm...

"I'll report the sight to all three of you now."

Jito eyes at me from behind, Illis.

'Hey, don't report it. You'll be misunderstood.'

'It's okay. I sent my visual information intact so there was no misunderstanding'

I'm afraid the opposite is true of the total lack of response from Sylvia, Ira and Melissa.

"What's up?

Mr. Rooty walks into one of the reception rooms upstairs when he's depressed about what happened after he left.

"Speaking of which, I've never been in Alistair's reception room before."

"Does that mean Mr. Iris has been in Krashel's reception room several times?

"Well, if you're an A-rank adventurer, you use these rooms a few times."

A request that contains information that you don't want to be asked by adventurers or the general public at a counter like the one on the first floor of the guild.

When explaining such a request, Mr. Routie explains that the explanation is to be given in the reception room, which is soundproofed.

Being shown to a room like that sounds like an important request to me.

"First of all, this is a request I'd like to ask you, but I'm asking all A-rank adventurers in Alistair. Mars, your party is an A-rank for all the party members, but basically, if Mars would have taken on the request, we'd all have taken on the request."

Well, if I, the Lord, were to take on the request, they would all follow me.

But an important enough request to speak up to all A-rank adventurers.

"The request was passed on to Alistair five days ago. There are five A-rank adventurers in Alistair, including you, Mars, except for two who haven't taken on long term requests in the meantime. I've already explained the request to the other four, but I didn't get a colourful response."

"Is that such a difficult request?

"It's hard, too, but it was turned down by all sorts of circumstances."

I'll give you the requisition form I brought in advance so we can see it.

"Is this a demon crusade request?

If you omit the details, there is a demon near the city and I need your help.

The content of the request itself is commonplace.

"I see. This should be rejected by others"

"You figured something out?

It seems that Iris noticed a problem with the details of the request.

"I refuse if I'm also an Allister based adventurer"

She also noticed the problem with Melissa sharing her sight and looking at it.

"The city you're going to is west of the kingdom of Metis called Savona"

"Oh, that resort"

When I asked for the exact location, I also remembered.

The sea stretches out to the southwest of the Kingdom of Métis, and dealings with other countries flourish.

Not only that, but also a city that was developed more than a decade ago in part as a resort, inviting nobility not only within its own country but also from other countries. That was Savona.

When I asked where I was going, I wanted to refuse, too.

"You guys get rejected for asking where you're going, right?"

"For once, may I ask what the details are?

Mr. Rooty has been taking care of me since I was a rookie.

I can't say no easily with such a tired face.

"It seems like it started about three months ago. Suddenly, demons appear, attacking ships that use ports and resorts, dragging them into the sea."

"Are you okay with that demon coming out?

So is the human damage caused by demons, but more important to the locals is the credit issue in the resort than that.

Nobody wants to go to a resort where dangerous demons come and go.

"Cancellation of the reservation seems to have caused considerable damage."

Sounds more painful than this one expects.

"Shouldn't local adventurers crusade?

"Adventurers up to B-rank have already tried, but they have all failed. Anyway, they're in the sea."

Fighting in the sea is unfavourable unless you are an adventurer who can fight in the sea.

"So the request came around to us in A-rank"

That's what I'm talking about.

Ask an A-rank adventurer because he's a B-rank adventurer and he failed.

But it's not just that, it's obvious from the fact that it came around to Alistair's adventurers.

"Savona is southwest of the Kingdom of Metis. By contrast, Alistair is southeast."

The distance is too far away.

Moreover, a steep mountain range stands in the middle of each other's cities. There's nothing an adventurer can't do, but he needs to risk it. If we are to avert danger, we need to head north once to the southwest via Wang Du.

"Exactly. Just a one-way trip. Even adventurers need to be prepared for 20-25 days."

The city is simply too far away to go by request.

That's why all the adventurers in Alistair were repellent.

Plus, there was a chance that you wouldn't get paid for multiplying that amount of travel time.

"They also get one gold coin as transportation cost per person just to go about the reward, but they only give it to the party that crusaded the demons about 1,000 gold coins for the reward of success,"

A thousand gold coins is a broken reward, but the opponent is a demon in the sea.

There is no guarantee that we can defeat them if we are not used to fighting at sea.

"Yes, that's why I don't recommend you as an Alliance."

"So how do you explain the request?

"Because the other side asked me to speak to all A-rank adventurers who could take on the request. They're also anxious to crusade the demons early to restore their image, but relying on A-rank adventurers in the vicinity hasn't achieved much. So, I rely on adventurers from afar to catch the reward quite a bit."

He had a reason if he thought it was a breakthrough reward.

"Listen to me, we can't afford to go as far as Savona either."

"Yeah, right"

I feel like a waste of 1,000 gold coins, but now I enjoy remodeling the basement 82nd floor.

I'm not going to make an impossible trip because I'm also going to try my hand at adding an 83rd basement floor if I can afford one paragraph.

"Looks like the locals are in trouble too. The opponent seems to be a captain who has a large freighter and can't help it because when he grabs the ship with his tentacles, he drags it straight into the sea. From the testimony of those who survived, it is believed that the size of the tentacles that were grabbing the ship would make the body a rather gigantic demon (...)"

"A giant demon (...)?"

The moment I heard about the other demon, I decided to take on the request.
