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

Episode 12: Trackers from the Commercial State

Call Mr. Freddie to the inn room.

No problem if you talk to him, the leader.

"So, are you going to take their request with the vice chairman?

"Yes, I trust Mr. Freddy, but in the first place, we have prepared this request to go to Estea."

"... ok"

Mr. Freddy nodded at me even as I wrinkled between my eyebrows.

Our departure, albeit temporary, means that William's escort will be at Mr. Freddie's party alone.

Given the burden, I want you to stay.

He just remembered and admitted that there was one right away.

"Don't let the requested adventurer leave the escort subject to take on any other requests, that's what I'm trying to say, but I owe you guys."

Previously, I took on the same request for an escort as this one when I headed on a family vacation.

However, Mr. Freddie's party could not be very active while the Gleasons were targeting him. Well, he didn't think this one was a loan because he was giving me a proper escort or anything while we were away from the Alcaine family.

But the Freddies also have the will of a veteran adventurer.

One day I was going to give it back. Borrowed.

Let me have it back here.

"Please. I'm just not going to let this one end irresponsibly either."

Give me the ring with the crystal.

"What's this?

"This is a magic tool (magic item) ring obtained in the lower level of the labyrinth. It has the effect of transporting users and people who are in contact with them to a pre-specified location. The destination is set up in our mansion just in case something happens. Use this to evacuate in the event of an emergency."

"Heh, can you even get something like this if it's a lower chest?"

It is a mistake.

Although the ring contains the effect of [Labyrinth Magic: Transfer (Warp)], we didn't come out of the chest because it was made by ourselves.

Nevertheless, I didn't say I got a word from the crate.

It was Mr. Freddy who made the mistake.

William's survival increases at once just because this ring is on hand.

"I'll take care of this one. We're leaving tomorrow morning."

"Oh, leave it to me."

The next morning, we leave the city of Legends and head east.

The way to get around is the carriage I rented from Legends abruptly.

It's faster to run on our own feet if we only think about travel time, but there's a reason we have to refrain from acting prominently.

"Are you following me?

"Yes."

Melissa nods.

I've felt some gaze since I was in the legend.

And the presence of the watchman became even stronger when he left the city and went to the streets where there were fewer people.

Borrowed from Sylvia [Detection].

Melissa's [Magic Sensing].

It's definitely because I have a reaction with both skills.

"Over there is the merchant. Sensitive to information to be profitable. But even those people couldn't gather information about us. People have fear of the unknown. I can't help but want to know a little bit about the secrets of our power"

"Not again..."

I inadvertently sigh at Iris' allegations.

If you go to a new place, you encounter someone who wants to know who we are.

I want to make it my own if the other person is an individual. If it was an organization, I want to give the same thing to the members of my organization. It's not strange to think that way.

Nothing but annoyance for this one.

"What do you think we should do?

"There's only one choice, isn't there?"

"Right."

Ira's right. There's only one option.

I can't leave it alone.

I don't know what it is. Besides, if there was a mysterious labyrinth lord behind it, depending on the circumstances, it might be necessary to do everything possible to come out.

You can't let someone else see a situation like that.

Ask them to leave before crossing the border.

"Number of people... one, two, three... no, you're four"

Where to run down the street.

Naturally, there are those who travel to Estea Empire in the same way behind them. At first glance from that carriage, it looks like you're just looking ahead, but there are two people watching to monitor this one.

Adventure-style man running further behind the carriage. He seems concerned about saving money when he runs desperately in poor minister gear to avoid being left in the carriage, but his role is to run as a rescue when something happens to the two people watching him from inside the carriage, or to run back and bring home a little more information.

And I feel signs of someone near the carriage, though not in my eyes.

"Okay, I'm coming."

"Shall we?

"No, that's fine."

The other person is human.

I want them to avoid killing people.

When I get up from the chair, I turn around.

I have eyes for one who was your man.

"Huh...?

The man is waving in natural motion, although I'm surprised he didn't even think I'd get a gaze on him. Nevertheless, it is suspicious because of the lack of expression.

This guy can stay put.

Knowing that we were being noticed raised the vigilance of the guy watching from inside the carriage.

"[Jump]"

……

Move into the carriage in an instant using the [jump (jump)] that allows you to travel anywhere within sight.

The man also tries to turn around, noticing signs of neglect appearing in the carriage.

I try to pull out the sword that was resting on my hips in a flowing motion.

but...

"It's sad. There's too much difference in strength."

A man's neck flew off before pulling out his sword.

"Nothing......!

"Who!?" I quiet the man who was the one who was about to scream, stabbing a sword in his chest without causing him to notice miserably behind him.

Even if you lose your man, the carriage continues to run.

See the adventurer running with only his face out of the back of the carriage.

I don't see how much misery I've noticed.

"Ira, please."

"Okay."

The man in the carriage we're using is Iris.

Ask her for the missing carriage because the only remaining members are Ira.

The guy who was running behind the carriage is fine.

The problem is...

"I'll do something about the guy who was disappearing and checking."

Apparently, he noticed the tragedy that happened in the carriage, leaving the adventurer man behind and running away. No, I'm going to run away with the third one. I guess you think you haven't found yourself disappearing.

The target's position depends on [detection]. If you get too far away, you are likely to lose track of your position.

Jump over the head of the person who was disappearing.

"Guuuuuu"

I stomped him straight from the top and he couldn't move.

"Hey, what...?

"Well, you guys have something to ask. That's why I let him live."

Raise the wind and move the front of the carriage.

……

The adventure-style man also saw what was going on in the carriage.

Noel comes down from behind the carriage.

This would have blocked the front and back.

"Who are you people? Who hired you?

I'm pretty sure I'm from Legends.

But in today's legend, two factions are created by the chairman and vice chairman.

Future responses will vary depending on which faction the men were hired by.

"... an adventurer hired by Vice Chairman Gibson"

I see. Was it that way?

I didn't trust him while I made the request.

My skills can be described as a valuable lifeline for adventurers. Revealing it is... the very act of trying to expose itself is contraindicated. That rule remains the same even if it was the one who made the request.

A merchant must know the extent of this.

But in the end, I lost my curiosity.

"Don't need a fair reward when you're done with your request."

"Ma, wait...!

"Hmm?"

"I did get a request from Vice Chairman Gibson. But the content of the request is your support. It was a sudden request, so it wasn't ready and I was the only one who got ahead of it. But we're planning to rendezvous soon."

"Are they...?

I say as I look at the guys who have passed out with the ones who have already run out.

These guys should be buddies for men, too.

"And I don't... not one of mine"

I deny it as confused as I looked at the three people I assumed were my own people.

Apparently, a different will was working from the vice chairman's thoughts.

Then we're going to need to hear what's going on from the guy who's passed out.
