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

"This is the entrance inside."

Fifteen hours after leaving the labyrinth.

Thanks to his continued full run, he was able to reach the settlement in the middle of the mountain in the northern part of the Kingdom of Metis after noon the following day.

There was nothing around it, as forgotten by the people, and it was in such a dangerous place that they wouldn't even want to head unless they knew there was a settlement on the other side.

The settlement is a little over a kilometer away.

It will be time to bring everyone in.

"You're finally gonna get bumpy."

"Sorry, but we're talking at first"

"Eh."

Ira, who seems unhappy with my words.

"No, it's a hostage-taking situation, so there's no choice."

"Let's get this done."

The rest of the entourage are Melissa and Iris.

We must first free ourselves from the hostages, as Melissa says.

"All right, let's go"

"Ma, wait...!

When I walked out, the young man stopped calling me.

"What about my men?

Only my people summoned me to this occasion.

As for the Rangen clan people they captured, they remain behind bars in the labyrinth.

"Come on, I haven't exchanged a word with you about letting you go once I've guided you inside."

"That shouldn't be..."

"You put the frogs back where they came from."

"Of course."

I'm asking Iris to put me back in the swamp field I was asking for.

At least it shouldn't be like being deprived of life.

"They're leaving it in the labyrinth."

"Grr... then when are you going to let me go"

"If you give me the antidote exactly as promised, I'll let you go."

This is a clear promise.

I swear nothing will ever be different.

"... fine. I'll show you for your men."

"Just go."

Young men should also take the lead to solve the hostility over there.

"You're the ones who follow me properly. From here on out, unless you know the right directions, there's a trick in place to get lost."

Walk after young.

The first few minutes were not, but after walking for a while I realized it was uncomfortable.

"... Did you go through here earlier?

"This is amazing."

Iris was getting to the answer while I was worried.

And in order not to make young people realize what they are aware of, they are responding to conversations in a conversation.

"How awesome is that?

"I've done a lot of things with my hands. You're supposed to be walking straight to the back, creating the same sight you passed a while ago, and you're like," Have you been through this before? ♪ It's misleading me to admit ♪

Actually, you're supposed to be going back, but you're back where you started, aren't you?

They have a trick in place to get you into that illusion.

I just feel uncomfortable. I don't even know what the specifics are.

"You've noticed."

"Even with this kind of trick [map (map)], it's obvious that we're going back."

"Oh, I see."

I'll check the [map] too.

I was only able to make a map as far as I could see because it was outside the influence of the labyrinth, but I was still definitely going back from where I first entered the mountain.

You won't get lost as long as you have proper mapping.

"You seem to be following me properly."

A young man who turns around and confirms that he is following.

Apparently you haven't really noticed.

A bronze statue placed next to a large tree with nuts, signs indicating the direction of the summit, trees planted systematically at regular intervals. I see, a similar view continues, if you ask me.

I guess I was leaving people by letting them get lost in this way.

But that's not the only way I can completely hide my existence.

There must have been times when people were invited from outside, like this one. I'm too used to being our first guest. You've probably invited someone before.

Sometimes the information leaks from these people.

No, you're not.

I guess the measures taken against the leakage of information from the invitees were adequate.

We have to be careful.

"Here we are."

I walk in the mountains for about half an hour and I go out to an open place.

"Is this where the Lengens live?"

Surrounded by tall trees, it would be difficult to get there if you didn't know there was a settlement there.

I go into the settlement scratching the grass.

There are a number of buildings in the settlement that look like trees were used as they are.

Welcome home, young man.

"Oh, I'm home"

One middle-aged man who soon finds himself young rushes over and pokes his knee in front of the young man. They are respected not only by their men who came all the way to Alistair with them, but also by the people inside.

I immediately realized we were behind it.

"Apparently, you succeeded in bringing in the intended person."

"I don't know."

"I'm not being modest. I'm glad you did your job..."

Cut the words on the way out and worry about Kyoro and the one behind us.

I didn't see anyone who just thought I was there, and I was unintentionally upset.

"I don't know what happened to my son.

There seemed to be a son of a man poking his knees in front of him among the spies I captured.

"... now those other than me are caught by them"

"What the hell!?

Pull through the dagger the man was putting behind his hips.

"Do these guys understand their situation!?

"I understand. I'm a pathetic victim of cowardly threats of innocent cousins being poisoned by you."

"Pfft..."

I'm putting up with Ira about to laugh in the back.

I just said it in a slightly playful tone, including the meaning of provocation.

"Everyone, including your son, is a hostage. If we do something bad, we'll cut our lives."

"Damn!

Slap the dagger the man had on the ground.

That was all the word 'hostage' was intense.

We also understand how unfavourable a situation is when hostages are taken just because we are taking hostages.

It's refreshing to see you miserable like this... don't.

So much so that I just want to end my relationship with these guys.

"Please don't abuse me that way."

A man in his forties or so emerges from beyond the hedge by those inside who were gathered around him to surround him at some point as he looked down at the man who had abandoned his weapon.

The hedge cracks as the man walks.

"Father..."

A young man shrugged when he saw the man who showed up.

"I'm on a mission now. Call me the leader, Fleet."

"I'm sorry"

Young man bowing his head against his father.

"Let me show you the guests"

The leader turns his back and tries to walk out.

But there's something I need to correct before I head out.

"I hope you don't get me wrong. This is where they're threatening us, and we're the victims. We're the only ones being abused from start to finish."

"You did. But this is also the order of the chief."

I don't feel sorry for what the leader is threatening me with.

... right.

He is led with the young to the mansion in the centre of the interior.

It was a building with only the first and second floors because it could not be built higher than a tree due to the nature of the hiding place in the woods, but it is about five times larger than other buildings.

Continue to the back of the mansion and you will be taken to the hall.

Behind the hall were already four men sitting on the floor waiting.

Sitting in the center is an old man over sixty. There were two men sitting on the right of the old man, about the same age as the chief, and on the left there was a woman who opened a place for one and looked a little older than the chief.

And sit where the leader was vacant.

We go as far as the old man sitting in the center.

"Welcome to the rangen. He's the head of the Lengen clan. He's a Lengen."

said the old man sitting in the center.
