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

The day after I finished my exploration of Mount Kyoclay.

"... hmm? Have you given up yet?

Catch the young man waiting in the city near the mountain where the Rangen clan is located.

"I collected all the materials I needed. You come with me."

"No way... it's only been two days since I made the request"

"We only have a respite today or so because of the poison."

It's not strange when you get withdrawal symptoms tomorrow.

I just want the antidote right away.

"Okay. I'll show you inside."

"It's not necessary. I don't even have time for that anymore."

"What?"

Run along the mountain path with a young man.

I am not willing to hesitate because I plan to solve all my problems by the end of the day.

"Come on, let's get you started."

I am hesitant to travel with my youth just as far inside.

Therefore, I urge you to lower your youth and move on.

"Young, what is wrong with you!?

A woman approached me in her thirties or so who found a young man who had returned.

"Nothing"

The young man was just a little worn out.

That's also because I cut my skin by the branches because I was running holding it like luggage and the leaves were attached to my clothes.

But as a successor to the leader, you can't look unusual.

"Can I stay out more than that?

"Yes, because you should let this child shine in the sun too"

In the woman's arms, the baby slept with Suyasuya.

"... so those guys gave up and came back?

"No, if you believe the story, they've gathered everything."

"Ha, that's decided to be a lie. Daimyo, you must have come crying to the chief."

It seems terrible.

Nevertheless, that's all the difficult requests have been made, so I can't help it.

"Um..."

"What could it be?

Ira, who was behind me, speaks to the woman.

"Do you also know what instructions the chief gave?

"Of course."

"You don't think anything of taking hostages?

"Yeah, it's best to let someone like you who has the power to cross people know what to say by holding a weakness. That's how we've been empowering ourselves."

I didn't do anything wrong.

A woman who speaks for herself.

"It's worse to be weak."

"Yes..."

Ira's gaze falls down.

"What if a child you seem to hold dear is taken hostage?

There will be no one easier to hold hostage than a child.

Now the Lengens tried to kidnap my daughter, a child in asylum. But then I had to change my target because it didn't go well.

"Of course I'll do everything I can to take it back."

"Then you know how we feel right now."

……

Women answer nothing.

It's like understanding Ira's feelings at a time when she can't answer them.

"That's it -"

"What if the chief told you to abandon him like the people who were younger men?

A woman who said she would do everything in her power to take the child back when it was taken.

I wondered if he would act against the will of the chief.

"You'll have no choice then."

"Eh -"

"We exist for the chief. If the chief says he doesn't need this child, I'll do it until the chief does."

"Very well."

Look kindly at the child in the woman's arms.

Then I stare at the woman.

"Hey, what..."

"At least I won't admit I'm your mother."

"I don't care what the people out there think." The will of the chief is absolute. "

A woman is talking about her decision inside, but Ira's interest was already gone from the woman. Set aside the frightening young man and head to the mansion with Stasta and the chief.

"... what do you say?

He grumbles like he really doesn't know why Ira got upset.

We're going after Ira.

"Don't be so upset."

"Nothing... I'm not upset, I just don't recognize that guy as a mother. I don't think of people who abandon their children as mothers because someone told them to."

Even if Sierra gets caught for some reason and I tell her to abandon Sierra, Ira will never imitate her. It's hard to defy the Lord because I have 'absolute command'. Still going against it.

I would never give such an order.

For Ira, the same mother, I couldn't forgive a woman who could make a decision to cut off her child.

"Well, fine. Because she's gonna regret it in her own words."

"... what do you mean?

"Oops."

He looked suspiciously at me as if I had been asked by a young man.

"What does that have to do with you? Your job is only to guide us to the chief."

"Damn......"

I get a bad feeling that's the only way I can do that.

Not so wide inside. We quickly reached the chief's mansion in the centre.

It's Fleet.

"... what's up?

"Yes, I brought them in because the example people said they had collected all the material"

Were you in a meeting in the mansion? The chief and all the chiefs are gathered, and the young man returns and his father, Liegel, responds.

Right behind the young man, we found out that it was definitely about 'rejuvenation pills'.

The leader comes with a frigid eye.

Other leaders have the same eye.

But only the chief has a niggardly grin.

"Lies and rest. Say it. Only two days have passed since then. There's no way they could have gathered the material so quickly."

It's too early to come back.

I can't help being suspicious.

"No, no problem."

The moment the chiefs utter their words, the sights of the chiefs become serious.

"It is the labyrinth lord who is in front of us. The Labyrinth Lord can prepare anything with as much energy as is necessary to make the material. That's what I asked you to collect. You guys split up around here."

"Ha."

Accepted by the word of the chief.

There's no point in being suspicious because we have everything in place in the first place.

Take out the toolbox (item box) in front of the chief and take out the material one after the other.

"Receive."

"You used to get all this stuff ready."

"Totally... it was an extra expense."

"Don't say that. I'll give you something that's worth the expense."

When I check all the material, I pull it into the back of the mansion.

He had a number of tools when he came back a few minutes later.

"You need this and this."

Take two of the materials we've collected.

One is a leaf famous for its high toxicity with purple leaves called radial leaves, a material that, if properly treated, can be used as a medicine.

The other is the testicles of a bird called Hibikia. This seems to be one of the things used as a medicine material, but the limited amount obtained makes it more valuable and not easy to reach.

"Are those the only two things you need to make a 'rejuvenating pill'?

"What are you going to say? There's no reason."

Place radial leaves and hibikian testicles in a rind bowl brought from the back of the mansion and mix and formulate two more powders brought with the rind bowl.

"He's the drug he needs to detoxify the poison he's drugged inside Temehe."

"Become!? You weren't prepared?

"It's a substitute that you can buy as long as you give them both money, but it's expensive. If you're gonna bring it anyway, you better get it with me and have it come."

Both are things Melissa got me when she went to the Imperial City.

"It was actually a measure that Temehe and the others had set aside to defend themselves when they went out to exercise their strength."

You'll never get the antidote if you do yourself harm.

The poison was prepared by the chief. Perhaps one of the chiefs also knows how to make antidotes because he has his own antidote.

Then I can't even take the method of letting others make it by threatening them instead.

I have measures in place when I am properly threatened.

"Relieved. I'll have the antidote ready to thank you for gathering the material."
