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

Day 10 of extracurricular classes.

"Why can't you afford to explore the woods?"

"You're right."

Walking in Dayton Village in light footsteps is a cavalier-aspiring male student.

He was exploring the village with his friends.

Today, I was free to act because I had been working so hard.

Let's go to the woods again.

"But..."

Only in the village was free movement allowed from the school.

It was cautioned that he could not leave the village surrounded by fences.

"We'd have won easy."

"Yes, yes."

Another boy student was in tune when one boy student laughed cheerfully.

They practiced hunting in the woods for the first time. Not only yesterday, they also participated in the exploration of the woods yesterday.

The exploration takes place essentially not so far from the forest entrance.

And thanks to the fact that the rater adventurer was with us, I could say it was safe.

"No, I knew we'd stop"

"Right. If you get attacked by demons like the first time, you could die."

……

The two boys students were against it.

Three people who hear that word and become silent.

Fear of death felt for them for the first time growing up in the city.

I was able to get into the woods thanks to having a puller, and to some extent I got used to it. Still, the fight against the demons was moving to avoid it as much as possible.

"But there's something like this in the woods."

"You brought it."

Remove the contents from the bag.

The leader's male student was frightened.

"That's the crystal I found yesterday when I was exploring."

"Heh, yeah."

Yesterday's exploration had him pulled to a different party from the highest-ranked Mars.

That's when one missed.

Those who strayed were soon found, but there was something they were finding at that time.

That's - about ten centimeters of glowing stone.

I didn't tell the adventurer who led me to find such a thing, I only told my fellow classmates.

It's the first treasure I've found on my own for a child.

I never wanted to give it to an adult.

"I remember where I found this yesterday. Let's all go today."

Boys students who were returning with proper landmarks.

If you follow the landmarks, you can reach where you found the crystal.

"But..."

I knew the woods were scary.

"Besides, it's worse to break a teacher's dictation."

How angry I would be if I found out I went into the woods alone.

"Oh, then I'll come with you."

……

Suddenly, I heard voices coming from behind.

A conversation was being heard that I didn't think anyone was asking.

When I looked back in a hurry, one woman stood.

"What about you?

"I am the wife of the village chief."

"You're a great man."

I didn't even think it was great when I said 'great man' in my mouth.

Because I didn't feel any temper specific to the great man from the woman in front of me.

"You guys have some interesting stuff."

"Ya don't do it!

The boy student who picked up the crystal hides it in his nostalgia.

"I wouldn't even imitate taking it away from a child."

It seemed like words and deeds thinking of the child...... but it was actually words and deeds because the crystals the boys students had in their hands were too small.

The wife of the village chief - Karen's purpose is separate.

"Did you find it in the woods near the village?

"Yes, but..."

"Then let's go find it"

"Da, you've decided no!

"Oh, why?

"Because my teacher told me not to go into the woods."

I could also say that the teacher's words were absolute for the students.

So I don't imitate promises from myself to rebellion.

"That's what happens when there's no guardian."

……

"Then I'll get you there with me."

If adults are together, there's no problem, not a reason.

The teacher had allowed me to explore the woods because he had someone to keep me safe with the kids in mind.

"I knew I couldn't go."

The boy student said no kickingly.

But they were bad.

Karen is an adult who grew up in a village where there is no school or anything else, and she hasn't expired, and there are places where she still thinks she can push through her own endeavors. Above all, there were things I didn't care about, such as advice from above because I grew up spoiled.

"Just show me!

……

The boys leave together.

They're not free enough to hang out with an adult with eclampsia, either.

"Let's go."

I turned my back on Karen and walked out.

"If you get more of that crystal, you'll get a lot of money."

"A lot of money..."

"That's right. With the money, we'll be able to do anything."

I smoke in the country because I don't have any money.

I remember the sight of money winding up two years ago, and even a few days ago, I was starting to think that way because I couldn't do the shopping alone.

With a lot of money, we can go to the city.

I wasn't wrong, but in Karen, who hasn't seen reality, I'm only waiting for a future that will ruin even if I take possession of a lot of money and go.

The adults around them knew about it.

"Don't you guys have anything to do?

"There is..."

I want to be a knight and protect people.

There was no particular trigger, but I admired the appearance of a knight who protected the city like a boy who grew up in the city.

"Then get your money to make that dream come true."

A knight cannot just have high sword strength.

It takes upbringing, leadership, and qualities to lead soldiers. The parents of the male students were forced to send their children to school because they knew that.

But I looked into knights. They know an easier way.

A donation.

Some knights were able to become knights despite a clear lack of strength. The men had a common matter: merchants and noble children.

In other words, a man with gold can be a knight even if he lacks strength.

There are other grounds for this.

Four people surrounding Elliot.

They were likely to be allies and knights of Elliot, who would become lords in the future.

But the strength of the sword was above me.

How is it that they, who are less powerful, are more likely to be knights?

The reason for this is because their parents were powerful and had money.

If I had money myself, I could be a knight for sure.

It was impossible for the boys and students who were civilians to adopt such methods.

"Money, don't you want it?

"... I want"

"Oh, hey!

If you can get a large number of crystals in your hand, it will be harder to become a knight.

Boys students seduced by Karen were starting to think that way.

"Oh, me too..."

"Right."

I was trying to get to the two students as well as the boys who found the crystal.

"What do you guys do?

We're not going.

"Yes."

I wasn't interested in the person who didn't follow me.

The only thing that mattered to Karen was a boy student who knew where the crystal was.

I was only thinking about the rest for the degree of luggage holding.

- You're going to the city with the money you got by selling the crystals you got.

Having reckless dreams, Karen took the children out of the village.

"Please, Mr. Jethro. Help bring back the children who have gone to the woods."

"Please!

Two boys students.

And he was bowing his head so that Dr. Niefa, who had heard the circumstances from the boys students, could bring back the boys students who had gone to the woods to the adventurers he could count on.

"I want to go too..."

As for Jethro, who is in love with Niefa, a young female teacher, I just wanted to get back to him when I went looking for him immediately.

But I waited from a party member, but it takes a while.

"... you know what I mean."

"We're not going."

Party members were opposed to approaching the crystal rather than exploring the woods.

"I know that."

Jethro also knew why.

"Um, what's going on?

"Actually..."

Jethro explains the situation.

Crystals that had fallen into the woods were created by the demonic Crystal Rhinos.

A party in Lilibel, who had previously confirmed the threat to the forest, was confirming the figure of Crystal Rhinos in the back of the forest, and the information had been communicated to all adventurers.

The minute they heard about Crystal Rhinos, they gave up going to the back of the woods.

"Oh, is that such a dangerous demon?

"You may not know the specifics of telling a teacher who's not an adventurer, but he's an A-rank demon."

Instead of crusading ourselves, we even have a difficult demon to scratch.

"Can't you do something about it?

"... I will bring the children back, avoiding a battle with the demons"

"Hey!?

"I'm the only one who's going. A small number of people would be better off if they were to act covertly to avoid being found by demons. This is my fault, so I don't have to let you guys hang out."

I do something unscrupulous because it's a favor of a woman I'm in love with.

"You guys look for the Mars just in case."

"You haven't seen him since morning..."

Adventurers were also allowed to move freely today because of the holidays.

Still, it was a problem for everyone to rest at the same time, so Mars and Jethro's party were off in the morning.

I've been looking for a figure in the morning to deepen it, even in rapport, but none of the Mars party members were found.

"Those guys are pros, too. He should be back in the afternoon."

Until then, I'll go on my own.

"Wow, I'm coming too"

"But..."

"You can't leave your students alone!

Even in a dangerous place, I could not abandon my students, even if I was a foothold.

"... please don't leave me"

"Yes!"
