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

"Are you glad I said no?

In the evening, when I returned to the Inn, I asked why Noel, who had a shallow day as an adventurer, had turned down a request from the Alliance Master.

Speaking of guild masters, they hold the strongest power in the guild, and the adventurers who belong to the guild can't resist orders from the guild masters enough. Most importantly, it is based in the city of Palento.

"I was going to buy a bunch of souvenirs tomorrow morning and then [transfer] home."

When traveling long distances, it's out of the question, such as moving from day to day, but it's irrelevant to us that we can go home in an instant if we even move to a spotless place.

I was going to buy in as much as I could because Sylvia got interested in milk and raised meat, which is a specialty of Parent.

You can't interfere with us if you go home.

There are only a few things he can do as an Alliance Master in the city of Palento.

"And I'm never going to take on a request for an investigation"

"Why?"

"That's because the adventurer who undertakes the request for an investigation is obliged to report in detail what happened during the investigation"

Illis with a long history of adventurers teaches.

We must also report on what was in the place we investigated, whether there were structures or traps. Plus I'm obliged to hand everything over about the treasures I got along the way.

The only reward an adventurer can get is the amount that was initially determined. It seems that some clients will water up their rewards according to merit, but many clients will only give them the first amount they arrange.

Most of all, I couldn't complain strongly because even if I didn't get the results I wanted, they would only give me the first reward I decided on.

"Oh well."

Noel pulled back when he could tell me why he refused the request.

As a kind hearted Noel, I want to help you if anyone is in trouble. I understand, however, that we cannot be in trouble as a result of helping people in need.

Besides, today's fight is a good place to work for free.

Although I helped Mr. Marcella, who was about to be attacked, the reward does not arise because it was not a request but a relief from good intentions.

If I could at least bring back the Devil's Sword, I could have fed the labyrinth with [magic conversion], but it was confiscated by soldiers as an important piece of evidence. I didn't have anything left on hand because I just couldn't take it away.

"I'll be home tomorrow as planned."

I decided to sleep well in the inn because I don't seem to have any particular objections.

The next morning, I leave the inn to shop at an outdoor store on Boulevard.

They've decided what to buy within yesterday. I'll buy them one after the other.

"But you said there was such a commotion yesterday, and the store is usually open."

"Right. There may be a little carelessness, but the guy who got the Devil's Sword must have been crusaded by the hands of some adventurer. That's why we're all relieved."

"The Devil's Sword isn't what you get."

I just heard it briefly, but they never found the Devil's Sword in the Labyrinth after what Ira's father found.

Moreover, many adventurers have since challenged the labyrinth. The Devil's Sword sells for a high price. It is not difficult to sell it to noble opponents if they can keep it in the correct procedure without being ruled by the Devil's Sword.

Some of them were famous for their exploration, but in the end they were not found.

This is a coincidence.

I don't think I'll find it for a while at least because I haven't found it in years.

"Well, it's easy to find the Devil's Sword."

"Your husband!

Sylvia screams as she shopped away.

"What's up? I'd rather not shout too loud."

Sylvia is staring at me with a harsh look.

No, I'm staring at something behind me.

"What...?

I turn around feeling an unpleasant sign that's not like hostility either.

There stood a little boy who seemed to be an adventurer dressed in simple leather armor to make it easier to move. I can't see the expression because I'm leaning down and all I can confirm is that the boy's hair is pale.

The sign of disgust is felt from the boy.

- Hyun!

Two knives flew up next to me.

"Hey, taking out blades all over the city..."

Follow ahead where the blade was thrown.

Ahead stood a boy who remained on his knees, but had disappeared like a pneumonia the moment the knife was supposed to have hit him.

Only that the knife was thrown is a knife piercing the ground so that it is real.

"What......!?

Phantom...?

No, even the signs are gone.

"Silvia!"

I call his name, but he's shaking his head to the side.

Even Sylvia, who has excellent detection skills, has lost sight of it.

"What? What?

Noel approached when he heard the noise.

"You weren't watching?

"What?

He was neglecting to be too alert to his surroundings to be comfortable shopping.

"... no, that's the same for me"

I hadn't even thought of a raid in the same city for two days in a row.

I don't know what they're capable of, but you should judge them as a threat because you don't know what they're capable of.

"Earlier, a boy who was only about my height stood there leaning down, and Sylvia threw a knife at me feeling disturbing signs..."

"Did you throw knives all over the city like this?

"We'll talk about that later!

Sylvia, who grabbed Melissa and Iris, who were nearby, comes running over to me.

"... I'm not sure what the situation is, but it's a dangerous situation"

"It was clearly hostile to us in a situation where there were so many people. I've never been more alert...!

"There are plenty of people around when I say I'll be vigilant, but who am I supposed to be vigilant about?

Even if you squeeze your opponent into a pale-haired boy, just as far as you can see, a few boys get caught in the eye.

"This girl!

Sylvia uses [Labyrinth Tone] with her fingers in her eyes.

Everyone recognizes the boy.

"... he's not here."

I'll explore the surroundings, but I can't find a boy like that.

"[Map (map)]!"

Draw a map of your surroundings in your brain.

It is depicted in 3D, including even the shape and size of a nearby building.

Remove the pendulum (Dowsing Pendulum) from the storage ring. I recognize the boy once. Use magic tools to locate them to make them appear on the map with bright spots.

"... moving slowly"

The boy who has lost sight is passing beside us at some point, walking in a crowd overflowing with cluttered people.

I'll take a look at where it showed up at the bright spot.

But there was no one there as if there had been a pokey hole.

"Are you skilled to completely cut off your appearance - including signs"

"You're too powerful!

But it won't be without flaws.

You probably can't run while you're using your skills. Alternatively, it cannot travel at more than a constant speed. There must be such restrictions.

Otherwise, I don't see why we're moving so slowly with skills so suitable for assassination.

"Stopped"

The boy stops moving.

"No, I'm sorry. If I'd bought my mother-in-law a bunch of souvenirs, someone I knew would have caught me... what's wrong?

Isla, who was acting away, approaches me.

He holds Sierra with his right hand and has a bag filled with what he bought with his left hand.

I mean, now she's got her hands blocked.

"Ira!"

Sylvia throws two knives again.

Even if we know where they are, we can't see them. Weapons thrown without knowing their exact location are likely to shake empty. It's an action that should not be picked in such a crowd.

But Sylvia with [God's Luck (Godluck)] can guess.

- Kinkin!

A thrown knife hits something and falls to the ground.

The sound turns to the consciousness of those who were around.

"... what?

Ira realizes it's not normal for us to be in a situation like this.

And something the knife hit is next to Ira.

Everyone who hears the sound sees it there.

"Ku......!

The boy showed up when the scenery distorted like a yang flame.

Now he's raising his face, and he's about to regret it in a sword-shaking position.

"... Demon Sword!

A disastrous aura emitted by a sword shaken up.

Definitely by the Devil's Sword.
