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

After noon he finally succeeded in crossing the mountains.

But I didn't feel like going any further.

I was losing my temper because I consumed a lot of magic over the mountains, and I had to rest because of the long flight and the relief caused by being down on the ground for a long time.

That was the same thing with Melissa, who was flying with her, and there was nothing to disagree with.

"Summon"

I'll check on you in a nutshell, and then I'll call in the Sylvias.

Isla and Iris seemed to enjoy sightseeing together, but Sylvia was acting differently, apparently doing something alone. Besides, he won't tell me if I ask him what he was doing.

But it doesn't look like he was doing anything dangerous to see Sylvia's satisfied expression and the labyrinth nucleus (dungeon core) saying nothing.

It would be rude for me to care any more.

One night by the mountains before walking towards Savona.

The problem is...

"Lost my way..."

There are no streets nearby because I got off in the right place.

There is nothing beyond the mountains that could be marked by the expanse of depressed and lush forests.

"Iris. How was the last time you crossed the mountain?

Illis said he had crossed the mountain before.

"When I crossed the mountain, I was not lost in the tree-lined path that opened up the woods because I normally used mountain roads. It was a mistake to go off the street because you wanted to avoid people."

"Reflecting"

You should walk down the street at slow speeds so you don't get lost in the future.

"It's okay."

Ira, in contrast to taking things seriously, was full of confidence.

"For now, we know where the sun is, so there's nothing to lose sight of. The map says if you cross the mountains, if you push from anywhere to the west, you're going out into the ocean, so let's just go out into the ocean."

"So is that."

You can see the whole thing if you go out to a beautiful place with a view of the ocean.

but in the end we could not reach the sea, although we were able to get through the woods.

"It's okay."

Sylvia sits next to me as I light the fire and watch.

"It smells like tide. It's proof that the ocean is getting closer."

I have no idea.

Still, Sylvia can recognize the scent of tides she's used to sniffing in the labyrinth.

For a moment, I also suspected you were lying to reassure me, but Sylvia's words were not lies.

"The sea!

The next morning, after walking for about an hour, I saw the sea.

I can see blue water spreading everywhere if I get close. The water is pale and clear, and you can see the fish swimming through the sea.

If you look far away, a large ship was in motion, and you could see the harbour town ahead facing the bow.

If you want to get to Port Town, you can still get there by the end of the day.

"This is like an unused rocky reef zone."

When I stood in the imminent critical spot of the water, my rock skin was cut off, and the tide currents were swirling because of the rocks protruding from the water everywhere and blocking the water flow.

"Oh, it's unusual for people to come here"

A man who was fishing in the immediate vicinity called out as he was checking on the sea level.

"Hi, I'm a little lost."

"Right. There are dangerous demons out here somewhere, so you should head for those with streets."

"Thank you"

Unfortunately, I've run into demons several times, but I've knocked them all down with no problems.

I don't even get to deal with them already on a dangerous level for the average person.

"Can you catch it?

"Oh. There's plenty of big fish in the ocean around here because there's so much to feed the fish."

"Nice. Isn't it hard when you catch a big fish?

There are more fish in the labyrinth that are big but dear.

That's why I've never experienced a fight when I catch a big guy.

"It's really hard, but if it's the big ones that caught it, they can sell it for so much money that they can't go fishing satisfactorily, and now it's precious."

If you're after a big man, you have no choice. It's hard work.

He said something more disturbing than that.

"Are you usually a fisherman?

"That's right. But I've been mostly closed for the last three months or so."

"May I ask why?

"These days, giant demons have appeared in the sea."

After all, is it caused by the damage caused by giant demons?

"There's not a single boat I would use to fish if I were attacked by such a giant demon. It's hard not to make money, but it's money with life. You can't imitate a ditch that you throw in the ocean."

Fishing as a substitute income.

Even the information obtained in the Alliance said that the giant demon would attack with tentacles stretched from the sea.

This place, which faces the sea, is also a place at risk of being attacked by giant demons, but less dangerous than going out into the sea.

"Oh, they attacked you today"

"Huh...?

Looking at the ocean far away, a cargo ship was wrapped around a giant thick tentacle.

Tentacles slowly drag into the sea as they grab the freighter disappointingly.

On the ship, sailors are giving up the ship and escaping to the sea.

When the ship buries itself underwater, the sea turns into a calm object.

"Is that the giant demon that's making Savona noisy?

"It's not just the Savona at the resort. It appears everywhere in this neighborhood."

Savona seems to be on the other side more than the port town you can see.

"You guys, could it be the adventurers who have come to crusade that giant demon?

"Do you understand?

"Oh, so many adventurers with the same purpose have come to the port before. But they all went in return for nothing. I won't say anything wrong, so you guys should go home. This city will perish within a short distance."

For port towns, the inability to get a ship out is a dead end issue.

So surprisingly, I've been safe in that situation for three months.

"This is why you're still safe."

One big ship after another comes out of the place where it was anchored near the harbor.

Is it dangerous?

"Firstly, it is expected that the body will be of considerable size due to the thickness of the tentacles previously confirmed. You can't have such a giant demon in a shallow place on the ocean. The deeper the ocean goes offshore, the deeper it gets, so the giant demons are only offshore."

"So is that."

"Oh, he's never come out that day satisfied when he eats a big ship somehow. Satisfied to eat a few medium-sized ships. I don't think there's anything satisfying about a small ship."

I just ate a large freighter earlier, so I'm already satisfied with it today, and decided that I'm never coming out of port.

Pass where the ship leaving port was attacked by demons.

but then even though many ships have passed by, the ship will not be attacked.

"As I said earlier, you should give up crusading. The same goes for demons being fierce, but adventurers who aren't based in port towns any more don't have ships. The demons go offshore, so you can't even fight without a ship."

That was a little troublesome.

I was wondering if I could attack from this kind of sea-facing place and make it take damage, but it's not strange that someone who can handle it to that extent has already been crusaded.

We need to figure something out.

"Thanks for the info"

"I was free, too. That's all right."

That's what I say. Let a man hold a few silver coins in his hand trying to go back fishing.

"... okay?

"Yes, that's all the information worth"

If you can get to the Guild in Port Town, you may get the same information, but if you can find out at least a little sooner, you can also prepare measures.

Say hello to the man and break up.

First, let's move on to Savona.

If you say you have nothing more to come out of today, then something doesn't happen, and you better hurry.
