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

The day after the party.

Today the auction begins, the original purpose of which is to go to Imperial Capital.

I needed to check with Rio to see what happened to the bandits I captured yesterday before I joined the auction, which starts before noon.

There are proper people in charge of interrogating thieves, but it is not easy to speak to us as adventurers who are not even noble people from other countries, even though Teng himself caught the thief.

So I was visiting under Rio, where I could rely on a handover to hold all the information.

"You're here."

He waited as if he had expected Rio to come too.

The room had not only the Lord, Rio, but all his family members, waiting in their dresses.

As the organizer of the auction, Rio, the emperor, needs to take not only the queen, Mr. Cattleya, but also the side room, to run around greeting various nobles. So before I got really busy, I was indulgent in a room where I could only use VIP among the auction venues.

It's impossible to get in from the front even with the permission of the emperor in a personal acquaintance.

But if it was just me, if I used labyrinth magic, I would come alone because there was no such thing as breaking and entering without anyone noticing.

But if we're gonna listen, we should all listen in person.

If we just share information, [labyrinth tuning] would be fine, but it's also rude to just ask the emperor for information.

"I'm gonna call you now, so wait for me."

Summon all members of your family in the room.

"... why are you dressed like that?

Rio squeaks when he sees the four outfits that have been summoned.

The auctions will be held mainly for aristocrats and large merchants.

Naturally, most of the participants are dressed in lavish suits and dresses.

We are adventurers who are neither aristocrats nor big businessmen, but the guests invited by the Emperor meant that we were allowed to participate in aristocratic treatment.

That's why I still wear the suit I wore at the party yesterday.

Initially, Sylvia and her family's girlfriends also planned to wear something like the dress they wore at the party.

Now Melissa is wearing a light water calm dress with no exposure like the dress she was wearing at the party. If someone who doesn't know he's an adventurer sees Melissa, the noble lady - she doesn't feel uncomfortable being considered a noble lady because she looks like an adult.

Melissa is fine.

The problem is the other three.

"I join as a maid"

Silvia, who came out dressed in the women's room in the morning, was the maid of honor clothes she usually wore in the mansion.

I couldn't possibly be in the room where the women were dressed, so I didn't realize it wasn't a dress until I finished dressing.

"I don't think it's a problem to join as a maid"

"... what do you think?

"... I don't think there's a problem"

The Emperor's words were obtained.

To say so, some of the nobles at the auction venue were bringing dedicated servants. A servant also comes from Imperial Castle for service, but they even grasp the fine preferences of those who are not their own masters.

Bringing in a dedicated servant was no surprise to me that it would be disrespectful.

It was rude, but it was licked because the organizer had never been busy in the social world, the son of an earlier emperor.

There were also a handful of fiercely clean people at the party venue who liked and disliked it.

It seems that Sylvia, who saw it, has decided to be beside him as a dedicated servant.

"The maid is fine"

The other two are more problematic than that.

"First, the adventurer clothes woman there"

"I?"

"So you think we can get into a venue for an auction with a lot of aristocrats?

Ira looked as swordsman as usual.

It was Ira blamed by Rio, but it was blatant.

"It's the same as Sylvia, and there are other people dressed in similar clothes, so it's no problem."

Many aristocrats have more escorts of their own than dedicated servants.

than most nobles take.

It is the escort who cares more about trust than the servant. If you are escorted by someone who lacks strength, it is directly linked to your life.

In those circumstances, the Empire had allowed a maximum of two and a limited number of escorts brought in by the nobles.

If we allowed unlimited escorts, there could have been a knife wound sharpening when it developed into a problem between the nobles. Because up to two people can only move freely if one person stays beside a nobleman to escort them. If that's just the extent to which one of you has been raped, it's Othi who gets held up by the guards.

If I leave you alone, I lose my escort break.

I figured out the hardship of an escort when I left him alone because he was a former adventurer and had some escort work to do.

"No problem. Let's admit it as Mars' escort."

"I did it."

Isla was happy to have her permission, as was Sylvia.

"So, the woman in the butler's clothes there"

"I shouldn't have a problem either"

What Illis is wearing is butler clothing for men.

He looks like a butler dressed as a man because he uses cosmetics as well as clothes to keep his expression crisp. I'm pretty sure you'll find out in one shot that you're a woman if you see someone with excellent insight or a real butler because you haven't misled your physique or even your chest.

"I took the liberty of preparing the butler's clothes..."

When I tried [Appraisal], I found that it was a magic tool just like Sylvia's maid clothes.

They got permission for the labyrinth nucleus, but they were consuming the magic of the labyrinth to prepare butler clothes.

"Ha ha... it looks good on you"

By the way, the labyrinth nucleus that looked at me when I saw him in his butler's clothes had always been a laugh away.

Were you laughing at my reaction, or at Iris for choosing a butler?

Either way, I haven't heard the answer.

"Right. It's no problem to have a butler around."

Ignore my reaction and Rio will answer Iris' question.

The venue was also seen as a butler with a servant.

There are many aristocrats who would like to greet the aristocrats they do not normally meet because it is also a place where the aristocrats gather.

The role of deacon is the first to respond to a guest who comes to greet you like that.

Only one deacon was admitted for those reasons.

Therefore, it was not a problem for the butler to be by his side.

The problem was that women were dressed as butlers.

It seems that even women are deacons. However, the perception that 'deacons should be engaged by men' is strongly rooted within the aristocratic society. For this reason, it was common sense to bring a male deacon to these official places.

It's just that we're being let in with 'noble treatment' but not 'noble'.

I didn't need to worry about such common sense.

"My role is to support Mars as a labyrinth agent. It's like a butler at work, so you shouldn't have a problem wearing butler clothes."

I'm not just a butler in butler clothes.

"Okay. All three admit to that outfit"

Rio admits to looking tired somewhere.

If anything goes wrong with their outfits, it will also ripple into Rio, who invited them.

But I couldn't say this more strongly to Rio, who owes us for saving his mother.

"In the first place, how come you didn't normally come in a dress?

Rio's questions are good too.

I also questioned them the moment I saw them.

"I feel like a princess just yesterday's party is enough"

All three of them were in agreement.

I had no choice but to attend in my dress when I was at the party, but in my former village daughter and my adventurer girlfriends, they got tired.

She wanted to feel like a princess, but she felt painful that it wasn't like enjoying the day after day.

That's where I chose to change roles.

"We are invited with aristocratic treatment. So I know it's a bad idea not to have a noble lord or a substitute."

If you're going to play our 'Lord' role among the five, who is it?

I don't even have to think about it. I'm the only one in the labyrinth 'Lord'.

And next to the male principals, we will need women who will be partners.

But Melissa was the only one left because the three of them had declined.

"I wanted to resign if I could too..."

Melissa also talked about her childhood, even though she was formerly an aristocratic warrant lady. I thought I was out of touch with that kind of painstaking world when I decided to live as an adventurer.

But none of his companions could bargain with a man of noble stature. There's nothing that Illis can't do either, but that was from an adventurer's point of view taking on the request. I can't let you negotiate just like this in such a setting.

I will therefore have to ask Melissa.

"This is how the role was decided."

"Don't you struggle, too."

Being a highly-ranked adventurer also makes a lot of requests from nobles.

I also know that I deal more with aristocrats because I am already a leading A-rank adventurer, but I feel like the vector of hard work is different.

Nevertheless, I can only thank Rio for giving me aristocratic correspondence.

I felt it would be different to bump dissatisfaction here, so I decided to return to the subject.
