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

Students exhausted from exploring in the woods.

It was only after noon that I returned because I had gone out in the morning.

I didn't have the energy to prepare a meal all day.

A rice balls were prepared in advance by the hand of the teacher who expected this to happen, and were distributed to all the students. It was something that gripped the rice just seasoned with salt, but it was popular with students.

That's why I'm free this afternoon.

"Do you decide to live up to your promises for now"

Rent a place in the heart of the village.

So I lay the sheet down and remove the large table from the toolbox (item box) one after the other.

Various substitutes to be left on the table. A popular sweet treat sold in Alistair sometimes because the other person is female-centric.

Special condiments and cookware that Sylvia collects in her hobby.

Melissa decorates necklaces and earrings.

"Regardless of Sylvia's cookware or something, can Melissa's decorations be sold to the guys here?

The opponent is a rural woman, albeit a woman.

I don't have someone to show me where I dressed up in a place like this.

"Definitely will sell"

But Melissa's words were full of confidence.

"It's a place like this that sells to women."

I admire gems because I don't get a chance to show them.

If this was a ring, it would distract me from farming and housework, but if it's a necklace, I hide in my clothes, and I choose earrings that are easy to put on and take off.

Taste luxury by wearing it for a few opportunities instead of showing it to people.

Seems to be a business for that sort of thing.

"From me this"

Iris was taking out a ton of cloth.

There will have been a huge amount of cloth stored, but this is because the women have been in knitting for some time now. As the time approached for Ira's child to be born, we began to make our own clothes for childbirth and children.

It's by no means clumsy, but the only thing that went well was my maid, Sylvia, and Ira, who would be my mother. It was surprising that Ira did well.

"I don't have much personal stuff to sell."

"... and yet, how come you're out?

Noel came with very little personal belongings.

But an old book that comes out next.

Until now, it was reading when it came to a means of killing time for Noel, who lived more of his life caged in his own room in the Great Shrine. I couldn't bring one to Alistair, but there were a number of books I stopped reading because I had finished reading many books over the past month.

"... surprisingly, you have something to sell."

I was going to sell it with the intention of disposing of the defective stock that had fallen inside the toolbox.

However, larger tables were filled by more items than we could have imagined.

"Well..."

A five-year-old boy stood in front of the table when he finished arranging the items.

"Is this delicious?

A boy points to a treat.

It's an easy bun to eat in Alistair.

"Want a bite?

Cut just a little bit and give it to the boy.

……

The boy was surprised by the sweet feeling that spread in his mouth.

"Delicious -!"

"That's good"

The boy then gave him the penny he was holding onto and bought him the portion he was about to eat and another bun.

"Well, that looks delicious."

One woman approaching the table watching the boy eat with a smile on her face.

"Right...... what about this treat or something?

Sylvia was recommending another treat when she saw the other guy.

I've heard it's a popular product for women, but I don't remember buying it. Someone would have bought it and it would have been something that Illis had stored in a toolbox.

"I'll take it."

A woman buys some cookware along with a treat.

"Oh?"

Villagers gather when they realize we're selling a variety of things.

I know some of them - Nora, who took care of them, but I don't have time to say hello because they come together one after another.

"Out of the way!

I hear voices from beyond the villagers in line.

Village women cracking left and right. Standing behind it was Karen, daughter of the former village chief and married to the current village chief, Lew.

"If you want to buy something, line up."

The ladies who have bought me so far have bought me in line.

I can tell you that I was able to sell it without any major confusion thanks to you for waiting in order properly.

"I'll take it."

"What?"

Instead of asking for this reply, Karen carries the bun of the sale into her mouth without paying.

"Oh, you taste better than you did before."

The sweets are always improved and delicious.

It's no surprise that the daughter of the mayor of the village, who was in luxury, had eaten treats made in the city.

"My father bought me a lot of things before, so I could eat them, but he hasn't been eating any sweets lately."

Karen grabbing another bun.

"... what"

"This is for sale"

I just couldn't tolerate being eaten for free. Sylvia grabs Karen's wrist and stops.

"Do I want to eat?

"Then please pay me"

"... I don't have it"

Karen, who was the village chief's daughter.

Especially if I didn't have anything to do to help the village chief do his job, I wasn't doing my chores, I was playing around every day. That may have been good as a child, but I couldn't have been allowed to live those days as an adult.

He was seen as prestigious as before.

I don't know why I was accepted as a child.

"Lew barely gives me money, and you guys don't give me money to the habit of giving money to the villagers!

"What?"

Melissa had given money to a woman who had taken the job properly.

I'm making sure of that.

"What do you mean?

"I'm giving you a decent reward for doing your job"

"I see."

I mean, Karen's not getting paid for not doing her job.

Looking at this guy right now doesn't look like he's capable of chores. I guess I wouldn't have taken it even if I had something to do with my job.

"Um, Mr. Cullen"

"What!

"Let's say that kind of demand can be satisfied when the job is done."

Karen being grabbed by her shoulder and scolded by Nora's sister.

She was the one among the kids who was responsible for scolding us.

"I asked you to clean it, but instead of cleaning it, it's the beginning and end of making it dirty. There's no way you could ask someone like that to clean a place for kids to use."

I didn't reject it from myself, it was rejected from my surroundings.

So, I couldn't let you do your job.

"I'm sick of living in a country like this. I'm a shining woman in the city."

No, that's not it.

I don't think I can do the kind of work that's in the city even though I can't do simple chores.

Until now Karen has only been able to come alive because she came spoiled by the former village chief.

"I want to live in the city too."

"What are you talking about?"

Karen demanding looking at me for some reason.

"You seem to be making money."

"Well, yeah"

I can tell you are someone with a lot of money compared to a normal adventurer.

"Anyway, it surrounds a woman who wasn't there when we stopped by last year."

"... Me?

Noel was tilting his neck as he pointed at himself.

I have Noel who wasn't there when I came here a year ago.

Being made aware of the matter gathers the gaze of the women of the village to Noel.

"Hey, how about me?

"What?"

"Aren't you going to try and surround me?

Apparently, I thought you were keeping Noelles beside you by feeding them.

Indeed, their families are serving me and all of them are giving away some of the money they have earned working together. I also get the money I need for my life out of it.

But they're only getting paid because they're making a solid contribution to themselves.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to put a woman aside who's not even willing to work.

I don't need you.

"Why not! Even sweets are so cheap, so I want to live in the city."

"Cheap?"

Because it is a problem that there are no profits, I try to make only marginal profits on sweets and the like. Exactly. I make books and other used products cheaper than when I bought them, but it seems like a normal price to me.

"We did price it so that it would be profitable, but it's a small amount compared to the profits that people who come to this village in commerce put on."

Melissa tells me softly.

A village in the depths of the border.

To get there, the cost of transporting the carriage to carry the goods. Not only do they hire adventurers to escort carriages, but they also pay for the labor needed to do business.

In our case, we didn't charge shipping because we brought it with our skills, and the escort is like doing it ourselves, and we didn't even hire people to sell it, so we don't need labor.

Besides, this business makes a lot of sense to apologize for the inconvenience caused by your sudden stay.

I don't want that much profit.

"Anyway! I'm not going to add more women for no reason!

"No!"

Karen goes with her shoulder grabbed and pulled away.

Business has been interrupted because of her, but let's just let the village ladies enjoy a little taste of urban shopping.
