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

The Adventurer Guild, which I hadn't visited in a long time, was idle.

There were those in the co-located liquor store who had been drinking and blushing since the middle of the morning, but in the guild the two adventurers were just checking the details of the request on the bulletin board and the staff reception desk was just two women, and the rest were in the back.

Our representative, Mr. Routie, doesn't seem to be at the desk either, so we'll check the details of the request on the bulletin board first.

"I knew I wanted you to come in the labyrinth to collect medicinal herbs and certain demonic materials,"

"That would be boring."

Simply transfer to the labyrinth and retrieve where the required materials are located. I am a labyrinth owner (dungeon master) so I don't even have to look for where the material is. It is also possible to get it in a chest (treasure box) if it has been picked up.

If you're really in trouble, I can help you, but too low a difficulty can just be a hassle.

"And then there's the request for an escort..."

"You're dismissed more."

Why should I escort you to other cities in this cold?

If it is also a request for escort, the main focus will be on merchants who go to other cities for business. Since it is winter, we travel in a planned way so that we can stay in an inn in a village on the way without camping. Then it takes days longer than summer.

Basically, I didn't really want Alistair to be away because I'm going to pull the cage.

"Nevertheless, other requests..."

My client does business in detail because it is winter.

It is not only demons but also humans who are hibernating in the winter.

"I don't think I have a rush to run, and I'm going home."

"There's no point in letting unmotivated people do the request, and maybe that's better."

He rested his hand on his shoulder when he turned his heel back to return.

Looking back, there was a smiling Mr. Rooty.

"Long time no see"

"Excuse me. I haven't been able to come for a while."

"That's okay. Most adventurers are resting in winter. But it really helped."

He seemed relieved that we showed up.

"Is something wrong?

I guess it means I have a troublesome request and I have a favor to ask.

This is still an A-rank adventurer, lacking experience among adventurers in Alistair, but at the highest level in terms of combat ability.

"I had a request I wanted to ask you a favor. I always wondered if I could ask Ira to show me her face, but only today, she wouldn't come near lunch, so I thought I'd have to go to the mansion."

I haven't visited the Adventurer Guild in a really long time, and I can't blame Ira for not showing her face to the Guild only today.

For Mr. Rooty, it seems he came at the right time.

What is troublesome is the request you have to ask for from a highly ranked adventurer.

"I'm just listening."

"Thank you"

It's going to be a lot of trouble.

However, Mr. Routie has been taking care of me since I was a newbie, so I can't even get in the way of a favor.

"It's just not something we can talk about in a place like this, so please go back."

Mr. Rooty will show you to the reception room upstairs.

We just sat on the couch with each other and offered one request form.

Let me check the contents.

"... bandits exorcised?

It was a request from a lord who wanted to ask for a search and crusade because a bandit might have settled near Alistair.

I already had some idea about the bandit's information.

It was about thirty in size and had already struck many times the street merchant and the carriage loaded with luggage, with several victims.

"But on this scale, even intermediate adventurers can handle it?

If, as Iris wondered, bandits were to be exorcised, even C- and D-rank adventurers would be asked to clean up without difficulty if they had a few sets of parties.

It's not about asking for a party with at least five A-rank adventurers.

"Of course, Mars, there's a reason I'm asking you guys"

Why you want to designate an individual.

I don't want to hear it if it's true.

"We are asking for four groups of C- and D-rank parties for this request, as Mr Iris said. But my client has strictly ordered me to crusade or tie one up without letting one escape, so I'm in trouble in case anything happens."

There was no reason to disagree, either as a guild or because it would be difficult for bandits to come out.

"So we decided to attach a high-ranking adventurer"

"I see."

I mean, we're like insurance in case something happens.

The rank is high, but it's undeniable that you're young and inexperienced, so you're not a pull.

"Is that all?

If that's the only reason we want to ask, then it shouldn't be a problem for any other A-rank adventurer.

"No, it's more important for one reason or another"

If I hear that, I feel compelled to take it.

"This time, the bandit who was asked to crusade was a bandit who had fled to the border because he had failed to operate in another city and his base had been known."

"It's strange to change places of activity at this time of year."

Bandits naturally cannot enter the city where people are strictly checked in and out.

If the confirmation is as sweet as a small village, you might be able to get in, but if you think you're in a position to be chased, it's based in a place that's out of sight, like a forest or a cave outside the city.

Such a place is now an inappropriate environment to spend.

The fact that he came running seems to have caused some trouble.

"Actually, I was wondering about some of the bandits."

"Who cares?

"Former member of the Gleason family."

My eyebrows move piquely.

I reacted unexpectedly.

The Gleasons.

He undertook a request a year ago to raid his mother's home, the Alcaine Chamber of Commerce, in an organization in the back family that is engaged in resolving the rubbing caused by violence. That's when we were taking on the escort request, so we destroyed the organization to get things over with.

The fact that you brought up the Gleasons' story should mean that Mr. Rooty knows how they relate to us, too.

"You must have wiped them out before."

He said there were all of them because they weren't taking on any other major requests.

So I didn't hesitate to destroy it. Because if there's anything else, I left a few alive to find out where they are.

"The devastated fact was grasped even by the guild. But since about spring, someone named the successor to the Gleasons has appeared, and they've been bandits."

Bandits of persons named successors to the Gleasons.

That's why you want to ask us.

"Fine. If that's the case, I'll take it."

There may be a reason why we couldn't get rid of it properly.

Besides, I'm also concerned about the person who names his successor.

"Thank you"

The request begins in three days.

He said we'd all start searching at the same time so the other adventurers wouldn't let him get away with it because he needed time to prepare. I heard from the guild that Mr. Rooty would be seconded as a director, as it would take place on the Adventurer Guild initiative at that time.

You don't need to prepare so much for me, so you can tell them what you've decided to do at dinner time.

"Okay, in three days, please"

Exchange greetings to follow the Adventurer Alliance.

Welcome back, brother.

My brother returned before evening when I was taking on the request and relaxing in the mansion.

"I'm home."

"I'll Grandpa"

Mr. Arianna is with us.

I thought you'd cut up your date and come home. It seems like dinner means we'll have it together at the mansion.

Mr. Arianna breaks up with her brother and heads to the kitchen where Silvia is.

"You were just in the right place"

"What?

"I'm going to say it right after dinner, but I need you to tell everyone in the mansion that I have a report and a favor to ask."

"Okay."

What I want to report under the circumstances that brought Mr. Arianna here.

Tell everyone to attend dinner properly because there is only one thing that comes to mind.
