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

"So please buy it out!

I bow my head in my grandfather's office, which was the former president of the Alcaine Chamber of Commerce.

My grandfather, who has already handed over the chairman's seat to his son, who is also my uncle, is basically free, but he was instrumental to the Chamber of Commerce in building the connections he built when he was young.

A bottle of mayonnaise is placed in front of my grandfather.

I brought it as a test piece.

"Sales of mass-produced mayonnaise"

It can be used over a long period of time if it is also kept in a toolbox, but that would eliminate the significance of having established a system capable of mass production.

So I figured I'd sell it through the Alcaine Chamber of Commerce.

I told Sylvia I already thought about it, etc., but it's a complete thought.

"What do you think?

I'm afraid to ask.

Of course, he's going to hand over the profits to the Alcaine Chamber of Commerce because he's going to commission the sale.

At first it would also be in the interest of the Alcaine Chamber of Commerce if it were sold, so I thought it would come soon, but my grandfather's reaction is subtle.

"Can't you sell it?

Lick with your hands.

"No, I don't have a problem with the taste. It's no worse than what's sold in the city. If we sell this, we'll definitely sell it."

Mayonnaise is a popular product.

It's not addictive, but it works similarly to addiction, and if you put it up for sale, it can sell explosively. However, given the hassle of creation, mass production is difficult and has soared because it is a very difficult substitute to bring to the periphery.

Demand is high because some people still buy it.

"Is there a problem?

"I have a question. How are you mass-producing?

I predicted that question would come.

... Melissa, not me.

"Do you remember anything about the Rangen clan you were previously involved with?

"Of course I remember"

My grandfather is trembling with anger just remembering them because his own granddaughter was about to be sacrificed too.

"It's that Rangen clan, but we're incarcerated in a certain place now,"

"Hmm..."

I won't tell you it's a labyrinth.

However, given the fact that he is incarcerated, his grandfather anticipates the origin of mass produced goods.

I'm letting them make it.

I dare not affirm it either.

Better keep me mistaken.

"There's a big problem with that. Sell mass-produced mayonnaise and profit from it. To make a profit, you have to pay for it, but where does it go?

"Uh..."

I accidentally got stuck with the answer.

It consumes the magic of the labyrinth to create oaks and goblins as a new workforce. Ingredients for other essential cookware to make mayonnaise.

Only initial costs will require a consolidated amount of what they are multiplied by as expenses. Demons don't need salaries, and the cost of materials isn't that much to bear.

And production using the Lengen clan, which I misled.

This can also be done at minimal cost if you are treating them like slaves. Anyway, he's the one who doesn't have to pay.

"That's the problem."

"Huh..."

"An economy works normally by circulating money. But if you don't spend as much as you are, you're gonna save a lot of money on your nostrils."

If you only make profits without incurring expenses, the economy will stagnate.

It can only be said that it works properly if it is used in some way.

The point is, you can use it instead of accumulating it.

"Nevertheless, you only have about the cost of living to use,"

Adventurers need money for things like accommodation, daily living expenses, and equipment and consumables needed to fight demons.

But in our case, we only need to pay for the lodging because we have a mansion, and there are things created from the labyrinth when it comes to equipment. Consumables are not that much of a burden either.

Therefore, since it is a large family, the cost of living is high enough.

"I can understand having trouble using it"

My grandfather showed me his understanding because he also knows about our economic situation.

"Then why don't you make an investment?

"Investing?"

I lend it to people who need a lot of money to start a business, etc., and ask them to return it with interest because I can do it one by one later.

Perhaps it's a better use than hoarding it in my hand.

"Is there just someone who needs a lot of money?

Adventurers need money every day.

But instead of the assurance that the money I loaned would come back, I don't even have the assurance that I'd come back alive. I don't want to imitate giving a lot of money to someone like that.

If you're going to invest, you have to be a guaranteed person who can make money.

"Then I know."

"Is it true!?

Count Alistair.

Earl of Alistair.

I mean, the lord who controls Alistair, where we live.

"If you're a nobleman, don't you hold a lot of money?

"I do own assets that are not necessarily comparable to those of the civilian population, and I have heard that they accumulate considerable sums of money for exploration plans"

I have a plan to explore the woods that lie ahead of my hometown, Dayton Village.

Pioneering will require a lot of money. Funds will also be needed to buy the tools and materials needed for pioneering, and even to hire people to engage in pioneering work. In the midst of pioneering, the Alistair family, who gave instructions, must pay them to secure their lives.

If pioneering succeeds, enormous profits will accrue.

However, pioneering is more likely to fail, and at that time it creates a huge loss. We have now failed in attempting to pioneer in the past in the same place, resulting in losses that cannot be ignored.

"The more money there is for pioneering, the better. It's better to be successful."

With a lot of money, I can hire that many good people. Many materials can also be purchased.

But few people can give a lot of money even though it could fail.

"Of course, when you succeed, you demand some right."

In front of being offered large sums of money, those who have been given cannot be hindered either.

I see. It could be a good use indeed.

"I originally wanted to contribute and engage in a different way, but if that's the case, there's something I'd like to do."

"Well, it's not a financial demand."

"Yes, I'm going to demand that Alf be involved in an executive class where I've pioneered it if possible."

I'm just a newborn Alf, but as a parent I have to think about the future to some extent. I'm not going to impose it. Just prepare it as one option. If there's anything else you want to do, just make it your priority.

"The pioneering begins now. And you plan to need at least a decade to pioneer."

That's all it takes for a long-term plan because it's difficult to develop that forest.

At least a decade. By then, Alf should be an adult too, so I'm going to add him to the business after it's been pioneered.

I originally intended to use the Elmers to make connections, but I should also have a stronger impression on the Alistair family that I gave them the funds they needed to pioneer.

Of course, Elmer and the others are going to work together to facilitate the business.

"Did those kids have that intent to protect them?

"It's a coincidence. He just wants us to work because he happens to be in our shelter."

"Fine."

The use of the funds was also decided.

I shall leave it to my grandfather with regard to the specific method of sale. As far as commerce is concerned, it is visible that I fail where I speak out, an utter amateur.

Then you should leave it to your grandfather, who is used to it.
