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

- The Emperor's private room.

"Hey, long time no see."

Spacious indoor.

There was a man dressed in brilliant clothes - Rio.

To the right of Rio, Mr. Cattleya sits, as do the other family members, side by side. We have decided who is at the top of them, but for now, we treat them in the same line in private because we are all supposed to be equal.

Not all of my family members, though. Mr Iris and Mr Leesia are absent.

"Just sit down"

Sit in the chair as they say.

Six of us face to face at the Rio party.

Although it has become such a large number of people, the Emperor's private room is widely built, so there is nothing to feel narrow about.

"Can we start with this errand?"

"Yes."

Hand over the materials of the Rangen clan that Melissa seized from her hideout.

First, Rio checks the contents of the materials. However, I immediately gave up and threw it at Marie.

The list says your real name and your name when you work in the empire, and even what kind of work you do.

It's hard to think of who you are just because you say your name and title.

"Are they,"

But Marie, who's in charge of HR, wasn't either.

She had grown younger and kept imitating different people to fool them. She had become good at remembering nature, people's faces and names.

"I was just given a name. Then it's sappy. I'll leave it up to you to decide who he is."

"I don't mind leaving it to you to dispose of, but if you have this kind of material available, you lose a little confidence"

The material is definitely real.

The Rangen clan didn't envisage anyone visiting them from the outside in hiding, they just brought them up as they were because they didn't have any security measures in place or anything.

"No, I'm not questioning if you're a phony."

"Then..."

"More than 80% of the names on this list are people we hire."

"What?"

Apparently, the Empire had quite a few people mixed up. There were eighteen names on the list.

Eighty percent of them... That means 14 or 5 people hired by Marie.

"The person who was dyeing his hands corruptly and wrongfully with the replacement of the emperor, and who, because he was behind the crown prince, could not now be saddled or otherwise sworn allegiance to Master Rio. There were all sorts of people who had problems, so they had to dispose of them equally."

It was the war against the kingdom that played a part in the broiling of such figures.

They wanted to make their place firm by waging a war with the kingdom and letting the Crown Prince achieve absolute merit.

The result is that they take responsibility for waging a war and dispose of it.

I didn't intend to use it from the beginning because Marie could see a result that would not be good if I let her serve Rio as such.

But even the person who was dyeing his hands at corruption was definitely brilliant.

Imperial Castle has fallen short of manpower because so many such figures have fallen out.

So it was decided to gather people from the field.

There was just no reason to hire civilians for important positions, but junior civilians and knights were recruited to be knights as well.

Thanks to that I was able to get through a busy period by the time I was a year old.

"But it doesn't look like it should have."

Various people visited for recruiting from civilians.

The Rangen clan got mixed up in it.

After, of course, rigorous scrutiny, background checks were to be rigorously carried out on those who were eventually to be hired.

Still, the Lengens were able to get mixed up.

That was damaging Marie.

"And for the rest of us, these are the heavy towns that have served the Empire for a long time."

It was also rigorously investigated by those who had served the Empire for a long time.

But I couldn't find it.

"... what shall we do?

"Normally, getting information doesn't make it easy to imitate it."

The most fearful thing to do is to find one and let a few others get away with it.

In the meantime, they may be carried away with important information.

If you want to capture them, you have to capture them all at once.

"That's a relief this time."

"Oh. At least the Lengen spies in the Empire are the ones written there, all of them."

The seized list is trustworthy.

The question is whether Rio will believe us or not...

"Tell me how you got a list like this"

There is absolutely nothing that other powerful people can teach each other, but given what happens later, it is better to have a cooperative relationship with Rio.

Talk about what happened in hiding from the kidnapping riots.

I'm done listening. Rio exhales.

"Those guys are stupid imitations, too. If we're going to be involved with you guys, we just have to treat you as a reciprocal trader without hostility or trying to subjugate you."

"... that's what you've been trying to compete with."

"That wasn't pure competition involving irrelevant people, okay?"

In fact, I was given a valuable experience of attacking other labyrinths of what was made to struggle, and the treasures and materials obtained along the way were allowed to be brought back intact, which can be described as positive on the balance of payments.

So I'm not going to say Gucci.

"Now you know that the list itself is real."

"Yeah, it's definitely real and there's definitely no leaks in the list"

Marie activated Skill [Future Watch].

By hearing from us where the list came from, I was able to get the information I needed to activate my skills.

Apparently, after this, he's going to let the knights capture the people on the list and handle them in secret, just like the kingdom.

Important national secrets were leaking outside.

Besides, it was the heavy town of the country that was leaking.

I'm not talking about being able to get on the table very much.

"I'm not going out of touch with the reward. I just know what's going on with you. So I'll give you something more precious than money."

Precious stuff?

Probably something that gets the magic of the labyrinth. Simply [magic conversion] a powerful magic tool is very helpful.

Take out what Rio has his hands in his toolbox.

"There you go."

They threw it at me. Take it.

"This is...!

"You know, it's the fruit of the Divine Tree."

divinity, which is a finer energy than magic.

The "fruit of the Divine Tree", condensed by divinity, allows even humans with only a short life span compared to elves to live more than a hundred years of eternity just by eating it.

You better think of it as the most important item for us labyrinth lords to acquire tremendous magic.

I originally would only get it once every 100 years, so I just thought I wouldn't get it anymore.

"I found it flowing to the auction a while back. They didn't know anything about the" fruit of the Divine Tree, "so I took it as a trading material for you because I could easily get it, but I thought I'd use it soon."

"Thank you."

I turn the "fruit of the Divine Tree" I receive from Rio into my toolbox.

Now we can expand the labyrinth again. I won't be expanding any time soon, so I'll just [convert magic] later.

"Well, that's it for the little hard stories. The party's in five days, and let's take it slow."
