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

We're supposed to take on an escort.

But given Noel's position, it doesn't mean he can be escorted just because the person who will be escorted has agreed to it.

Noel will guide you through the royal castle.

"Who am I supposed to get permission from?

He's my stepfather.

It's only natural to get permission from a guardian.

Mr. Claudia comes up close and tells me in a whisper that he is convinced of Noel's words.

"Her father-in-law is the king of this country."

"Become!?

How is it that the top of the country is such a stepfather?

"Mr. Noel was a civilian before he became a 'witch'. It's not like there were no civilian 'witches' before, but there was always a disturbance from the nobles to reconsider with the king when Mr. Noel was chosen."

According to an earlier explanation, the election of the 'witch' is carried out by God.

It's not to cover up where nobles complained to the king.

"Aristocracy makes me desperate to gain a little more power. Think of the witch as a king in this country."

Trust, if you take the form of, you can move your country as you wish.

It is to be welcomed that those who do not have the breath of nobility should be chosen as' witches' in order to avoid such a situation, but that such reasoning does not apply to nobles possessed by power?

"I have a stepfather in this room."

It was the room behind the castle that was guided.

"Who?

When I knock, I hear a low, sinister voice coming from inside the room.

It's me.

"Get in."

Short exchanges. But I guess it was enough between father and daughter.

Inside the room was an office room with a large desk and a large shelf on both ends.

There were a number of documents stacked like mountains on the desk, but someone bigger than the pile of documents sat on the chair.

"What can I do for you?

Ask the paperwork unstoppable.

"First, we asked to say hello because we had a guest."

"Ho."

I was surprised to see Mr. Mishrina entering the room, putting the pen down.

"Although I don't remember inviting the 'Virgin' of the Principality of Ishgaria?

"This time I asked you for personal use"

We do not know how far it will work because we have already used our position as' Virgin 'several times, but we need to move on with the stance that it has nothing to do with the Principality of Ishgary.

"What about those behind you?

He's the one who hired me to escort him in this case.

"Right."

The lord of the office - the king rises from his chair.

"I am Leonid, the king of this Memphis kingdom."

The king was a lion beast man and a man in his forties or so with a hyena-like beard. Above all, it was the size that amazed me. When he stood up, he was more than two metres tall and the intimidation emanating from his forged body was exactly the king.

In this country, where there are overwhelming numbers of beasts, he had heard beforehand that he called the King 'the Beast King' and so on.

"So what did you come up with? No way, I just came to see you."

"Anything… rumors like 'A modern witch dies after a rich dance in a few days' seem to be spreading to Wang Du as well"

I've had Sylvia and Iris look into this within yesterday.

Rumor has it that in the current King's Capital, the next 'witch' will have 'who'.

Everyone had rumored that Noel was going to die.

"It's pathetic."

"What do you mean?

"The modern 'witch' is still alive. Nonetheless, nobility moves desperately around to make his breathtaking the next 'witch', and neither the people nor anyone expects Noel to continue 'witching'"

There was grief on that face.

"This country is currently exposed to an unprecedented crisis. The demons, formerly called the Divine Beast, have been revived, causing various natural disasters. Many people also struggle to get daily food because of it. Noel has been offered a ritual to quell the beast of God as a 'witch', but so far no fragrant results have been obtained."

The people make it a priority that their lives are covered.

The ability of Noel, who should have the ability to quell the Divine Beast, cannot quell the raging Divine Beast.

Then the people expect a new 'witch'.

"Oh no... I've been working so hard!

Mr. Mishrina screams, but even when he heard the words, Noel just shook his neck sideways.

"It's all because I'm not competent enough to be a 'witch'"

"That's not true...!

"Because you have the ability to solve this kind of situation, you can be a witch."

"Mmmm..."

She was a roaring Mr. Mishrina, but I understand the circumstances because she also acts as a 'Virgin'.

And the king understood more than anyone else.

"I understand that it is impossible for my own life to be threatened and the anger of the people to turn to 'witches'. But as the father of one girl, I'm not convinced."

"Is that okay?

"I guess I shouldn't be king. But when I took this daughter, I took her as a righteous daughter in order to silence the nobles. Luckily, I don't know if I can say this, but I'm blessed to have a successor with four men's children. I was really happy to have a daughter where all the guys were. Is it a mistake to say you want to do something for this girl?

"No......"

Shake your head to the side to inquire of the Beast King.

I think I can trust this guy.

"Then you won't have a problem getting us an escort."

The most troublesome thing about this situation was that the escorts would oppose us taking up positions in the Kingdom of Memphis with no merit at all.

No matter how many 'Virgin' recommendations I have, when they disagree, I can't move.

"Weren't you 'Virgin' escorts?

"He was also an escort for the 'Virgin', but at the same time he asked me to join the 'Witch' escort"

I didn't say it was just an 'Virgin' escort.

"... are you guys really going to help?

Surprised gaze is pointed.

My body is smaller than the Beast King's if it just looks like it, and I don't look very strong.

I can't help but be anxious.

"Is this not going to convince you?

Show the Adventurer card to indicate that it is A-rank.

But the Beast King didn't convince me.

"You can say that the situation in the Kingdom of Memphis sucks right now. Maybe it's a shortage in A-rank. Besides, I don't trust the rank that the Adventurer Guild just took on on its own. All I trust is what I see in my own eyes."

The Beast King is right.

"So how about this?

Remove the "Ring of Constraints" left filled out except during battle.

I was always allowed to live with it filled out so as not to make me weird and alert when walking in a crowded area.

"This is...!

The Beast King is surprised that the status that was suppressed was released.

With my status completely open, I can easily outnumber even S-ranked adventurers.

"Can you convince me?

"Oh, oh..."

It was helpful that the Beast King had enough strength to understand the strength of his opponent.

Now I can be by Noel's side as his escort.

"That's why we can keep them at our side for a while."

That's what I say. Put Sylvia and Melissa forward.

"Aren't you supposed to be the escort?

"It must be a problem for me, the man, to get an escort."

The most problematic way to escort a woman is if she enters a private space where a man cannot enter.

Rather, it's when you're alone in a place like that that that you have a better chance of getting attacked.

Women are better suited to escort women to avoid such situations.

Sylvia also has [Detection], so she immediately notices someone who does harm.

Melissa can get in with me just to get some hard stories that Sylvia doesn't understand. Talking about aristocracy can't be dealt with in Sylvia.

"They're not as strong as I am, but trust me."

"Let's trust you. Rather, I can trust you more than people in the country."

Most people in the country who are good enough to serve as' witches' escorts have someone's breath on them. Those who are passively opposed to Noel's survival could have a deal to betray the escort.

But if we just came from outside the country, we haven't even reached for nobility.

"That's why I'm asking you."

"Okay."

I've already told Silvia and Melissa to take the 'witch' escort.

Of course, it also serves as a 'witch' escort as well as a 'Virgin' escort.

From now on, Mr. Mishrina will always be asked to act with Noel, so their escort is also available.

"What are you going to do?

"I'm going to keep my hands on this one here. What about the demon called the Divine Beast..."

Tell him that the Thunderbeast is a demon summoned by someone in the king's capital.

"What!? You think this is some kind of ruse...?

"I don't know if it's due to summons other than thunderbeasts, but thunderbeasts are definitely summoned demons"

"Ku......!

I hold my fist when I know it's a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster or something.

"There's something I have to do on that side, so let me take a different course of action."

I don't stick around as an escort. Me and Iris have things to do.
