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

The rat runs through his feet.

In a situation where only the moonlight depends, the little rat misses it.

It would be the purpose of the thief to escape in that way.

"Fuck."

A soldier points his sword at the rat with the intention of killing him, but he just pierces the ground and doesn't hit the rat at all.

I'm not moving.

"Illis."

"Yeah."

I checked and they were ready.

"Expanded in a radius of fifty meters around me"

"Then it's time..."

- Zusa!

The sound of someone falling sounds.

A stranger had fallen about fifty meters away if he turned his eyes to where the sound had originated.

The [labyrinth junction] that had been developed by Illis had the effect of nullifying the skills and magic that touched the junction.

Naturally, if you touch the junction in a state transformed into a rat, the transformation will be forcibly released, and you will return to the human being as you were running in a rat and crawl on all fours.

"How about it's time to take a look?

The four of us surround the thief.

That's when Sylvia gets in touch.

"I hear my people caught the bandit who appeared flashy."

"I easily unlocked my [transformation]. Apparently, the story of catching him isn't a mistake either. But you can't just give up here!

Thieves transforming into rats again.

I was running around between soldiers for a while.

He noticed at the first release of compulsion that if he stayed too far from the Illis, his transformation would be lifted.

A thief undone his transformation from himself.

"... hmm?

Thief back from rat to soldier figure.

However, this time there was the exact same person to his face.

Is that what you came for?

"What do you mean?

"The thief decided it was also impossible to escape by multiplying the darkness of the night. That's where I decided to get confused with the soldiers. In this case, one of them is a thief and the other is a good, innocent soldier."

"What's it gonna be like to do that?

One of them is a thief.

Then we're just talking about capturing them both.

I'm sorry for the good soldiers, but I'll apologize later.

"If it's possible, I don't want to use it."

I spotted my idea. Melissa cuts it off with a bushel.

"I share Melissa's opinion."

Marie was also against it.

"The Emperor's Invitational captured an innocent soldier, even if it was to capture the thief - it would be difficult for him to distrust the Emperor's power under the circumstances in which he would need to cooperate."

If you are suspicious, I will capture you.

If such rumors spread, they will also affect the emperor's rule.

"But how do you tell the real thing?

Try using a pendulum.

But nothing responded.

I don't react because my current appearance is completely different from my earlier appearance and I don't have enough images. I also recovered the ring I used to identify the thief, so I don't know what to use it against.

"I'm the real deal."

"No, it's me"

Claim that the soldier with the exact same face is who he is.

I can't tell if I hear your voice because it's the same as your voice.

"Even if they say so..."

We don't know about him when he tells us what he only knows. We don't have judgment material.

It is also dangerous to believe the words of a colleague or supervisor who can determine that the real words are true. If it was wrong, it could extend to the liability of the person who made the decision.

"Why don't we just let them both walk to a place where there's a labyrinth bond already?

Suggest a way for Ira not to be dangerous.

There's no danger to the real thing if you just let them touch the labyrinth junction.

"Maybe that's a good idea. He's in danger of escape, so I'm gonna stick around so he can capture me and Ira right away if they find out it's fake."

Stand next to the soldier who was on the left, making sure Ira nodded.

More than just a soldier in a situation surrounded by soldiers. You should be able to predict thieves here. Still, I know more about the means to escape even if the transformation is lifted in the labyrinth junction than I chose the means to be disputed by the soldier.

But more than I can think of any other way that seems safe...

"You won't have a problem if you help enough to tell me which one the real thing is"

Such worries were blown away by Marie's words.

"Oh, does Mr. Marie know which is the real deal?

"Thank you!

A soldier stands beside me with a full grin.

I believe that a thief who has absolute confidence in his transformation is safe.

"You're a fake."

"Huh..."

The grin freezes in an instant.

"[Transformation] skills are transformed based on the user's image. It seemed like it had been transformed since I observed it quite a bit, but the image is awkward, so there are different things."

I just look like the same person.

But it seems there's a difference when you let Marie tell you.

"Based on what..."

"Longer than the real thing, thinner brows, lower nose, beautiful teeth, no old scars on the back of the right hand, handkerchief sticking out of the right pocket of my pants is gone at some point..."

Marie points out the difference between the real thing and the details.

The lift is subtly longer than the other soldier's when he says it and confirms it, and the brow looks thinner. If you look at the right pocket of the pants of those who are seen to be real, the handkerchief was only partially really popping up... I can see the difference as I said elsewhere pointed out, but it's too subtle.

"You can't possibly remember such detail!

"I told you. I'm good at remembering people's faces."

That's beyond that level.

but it had nothing to do with it in the first place.

"I saw the future if I captured him with my skills. He's definitely the thief."

He tells me in a small voice after approaching me so I can only hear him.

Marie has a [Future Observation (Future Vision)] that she obtained by becoming a Labyrinth family member. Skills that give you a glimpse into the future by obtaining the necessary information.

Looks like we got the information we need from the difference between the real thing and the reaction when it was pointed out.

There is no more mistake than seeing the future.

"When did you learn the real face in the first place!?

"It is normal to think that there is something about soldiers if you look at them before [transforming] into rats. If I could just observe it for three seconds, I'd be able to grasp that."

"Damn, I was going to use it after more distance......!

A thief who gave up transforming and leaving takes some kind of cylinder out of his nostalgia.

Throw it gently and the contents of the cylinder will bounce, and the surrounding light will fill you with white smears of everything in the world that is brighter than day.

I don't see anything.

"Whew!"

"I can't see a thing."

"What's happening!?

The agitation spreads to the soldiers whose eyes have been crushed.

A thief [transforms] in that gap.

"Thieves leave many means of escape behind."

I hear that word of a thief.

Soldiers whose vision could no longer be secured by light.

Of all that, he transformed himself into something that only ensured his sight.

The original plan may have been critical to touching the labyrinth junction, or it was meant to be a magical tool that would produce light the moment it was touched. If my sight suddenly crushes even if I stick around, I may not be able to deal with the escaping thieves.

After about ten seconds, my vision goes back to normal.

"Shit, did they get away"

The soldier reveals remorse after seeing where the thief stood and confirming that no one was there.

"No..."

Point down and tell the soldier to look at my feet.

There was a young man there who had been knocked to the ground and passed out. A brunette young man who seems to be anywhere in Imperial City wearing gray trousers on a blue shirt that is not even dressed as a soldier.

The true appearance of a thief whose [transformed] skills were forcibly unlocked by stunning.

"Did you capture him in that light?

"A-rank adventurers don't seem to miss out to the point where their vision is crushed"

Iris teaches the captain that he can't hide his confusion.

You can sense magic when you are trying to use [Transformation] skills even when you are not seeing anything. If you reached out in the first place, you would have been within reach, so even if you were upset by the light, if you stepped out, you could easily stun them.

"Well, now we've caught the thief."

"Then take them both to the party venue."

It seems that he intends to plead guilty by the hands of Rio in front of many in order to accuse the party venue of making noise and to demonstrate the authority of the Emperor.
