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

Square in the heart of the imperial capital.

It's inside a big city and enters a colorful temple.

In the centre of that temple there was a vertical hole and a spiral staircase was provided along the wall.

"There's a labyrinth entrance down here."

There was an adventurer lined up in front of the spiral stairs.

"This labyrinth makes its entrance deep in case a demon in the labyrinth runs wild because it is in the heart of the imperial capital. And by narrowing it down to the ground like this, we're preventing the big demons from coming in and out."

That's not all.

The temple was equipped with its function as a junction to significantly restrict the actions of the impure, and was prepared when the demons stormed out.

"Well, it's pointless when the Labyrinth Lord plots a rebellion,"

Everything is generally information lying low.

For example, if you want to expose demons on the ground, you don't need to bother getting them out of the entrance to the labyrinth. With summons, you can move as much as you like to the ground. It seems that the temple has the effect of inhibiting demonic behavior, but it is easy to destroy the temple if you use an unclean demon - an angel-shaped demon.

When I was an adventurer, Mr. Cattleya and the others apparently believed all about the power of the temple, so there is no doubt about its effect on ordinary people.

We simply need not be in a situation where the labyrinth lord can plan a rebellion.

Our turn came as we talked a lot about the temple.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Cattleya"

"Hello"

It was a man in his thirties or so who responded at the entrance to the labyrinth.

"You don't have a Rio guy today, do you?"

"Lady Rio is on his way to the Kingdom of Metis."

"So, you got another guy?

"No, I'm not. Master Rio asked me to come to the labyrinth of the Empire, and I am a powerful adventurer in the kingdom of Métis."

A man sees me from top to bottom.

"You don't look very strong..."

Then I was convinced to see Sylvia and Melissa.

"Just like you guys, the party member woman is a stronger pattern."

"What are you talking about"

Mr. Cattleya is colluding with the man at the reception.

I didn't have any particular problems just showing adventurer cards.

"What hierarchy to explore?

"It's the first time we've challenged this labyrinth. Why is it from the ground floor? You don't know how far you dive."

"Okay."

These advance applications are necessary.

If the adventurer has not returned for days, it is possible that he has done something bad in the hierarchy he was exploring, or that he has been defeated because of an anomaly in the hierarchy. If an anomaly is occurring, it must be dealt with appropriately because the damage among adventurers may become significant if not dealt with immediately.

This is not for the defeated adventurer, but to avoid causing adventurer damage in the future.

It seems harsh, but there is nothing like being generous in the Adventurer Alliance just because an adventurer who is at his own risk has been harmed. However, an appropriate response is required in order to avoid any further casualties.

That's why it's necessary to hear the hierarchy for exploratory purposes.

Nevertheless, it is my first labyrinth challenge, so I can only explore it from the ground floor.

"But more than ten days have already passed since the recent structural changes. I don't know what kind of request you've taken, but we've already been hunted down for some blind material."

"This request is for personal use. Because you don't care."

"Oh, I'm frightened..."

In fact, Katrea's gaze at the man at the reception who tried to get in deeper was sharp.

It's a level of killing that doesn't matter to us, but it's killing enough to want to escape for Alliance officials and ordinary people who lack fighting power. In that sense, officials who are just scared without escaping are brilliant.

"Follow me."

Through the cave-like entrance, the cave path was as wide as Alistair's labyrinth. It's the same with metastatic crystals by the entrance.

A new path was possible when Mr. Catlea put his hand up against the wall as he proceeded just a little according to Mr. Catlea.

I don't mind telling a secret in this place. There are few people from the beginning because there are only newcomers who try the labyrinth for the first time on the first basement floor. And newcomers aren't paying attention to places that aren't even on the map.

"Now let me review the rules again"

"We meant to challenge each other to the labyrinth at the same time, but could we have been in there?

"I have no problem with this. Unlike Alistair's labyrinth, the labyrinth of the Glenvalga Empire is easily visible. Waiting outside the entrance makes it stand out. This one's waiting outside, but I'm sure you'll think it's a meeting."

Does that mean that Rio and the others are waiting at the entrance to the labyrinth?

"Illis."

"Yes."

"It's like there are Rio's at the entrance to the labyrinth, are you there?

"It really feels like we're meeting other adventurers"

'Then get me into the labyrinth. It would stand out if it stood in a place where there was nothing, even though it was just less visible than the Empire City'

Bye, Ira.

"Rikki"

Instruct her to go to Iris and Ira on a reading.

Immediately Ira rises up and enters the labyrinth. If Illis uses labyrinth manipulation, just like Mr. Cattleya, he can create a trail that is invisible to humans.

Ask Ira to guide the Rio people straight away.

"Thank you"

"Now the terms are equal"

This is only competition.

The terms of each other must be reciprocal.

It's not fair to start with us in the labyrinth alone.

"Five minutes from now, we're going to start with each other. It may not make sense to fly for a few seconds, but we should know if we're not cheating on each other."

"Right."

Sylvia nodded, wary of her surroundings.

This is already an enemy territory. I'm going to reciprocate the terms, but I don't know what it is.

"You don't have to be so vigilant. 'Cause we only have traps and demons that aren't so different from normal."

"I don't believe you're going to do anything wrong."

Even if I fly here, I pass it right through the three Katreans to Rio.

Conversely, even if Rio and the others fly, they are meeting to get an immediate report from the Illis.

There's no point in injustice that you'll find out soon enough.

"Once you start, we'll move you to the bottom of the labyrinth."

"Why are you waiting here in the first place?

Melissa asks questions.

Besides not being Alistair's labyrinth, my labyrinth manipulation will never be as effective in this labyrinth as Mr. Cattleya's. In that sense, I appreciate you making the trail, but you could have gone to the bottom level by the time you hid us here.

Surveillance is possible even from the lowest level of the labyrinth, as Illis does.

"It's a simple hospitality. If you break up in a place like this when you say you've been guided by us, you suspect your character as royalty. Until the moment of departure, I will drop you off here."

"Really?

I care too much.

If you care about your character as a royal family in the first place, I feel wrong at the time you came with me to the labyrinth.

Besides, this is an adventurer's guild with a labyrinth. From the reaction of the guild staff in front of the entrance and the response of the innkeeper's husband, it is more likely that he is not known about Rio before his reign, or if the faces of his wives.

There is a different reason than hospitality.

Did Melissa come to the same conclusion as me? I was nodding when my gaze matched mine.

But it's also not like I can handle it from where I cared. In the current situation, there is a lack of information to judge.

And there's no time.

"Ten seconds ago."

Get out of the trail created by labyrinth manipulation.

In front of you is the road that leads to the back of the labyrinth.

"'Start'"

Exactly ten seconds later, the words of Mr. Cattleya, who announces the start, coincide with those of Iris in his head.
