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

As I sat on the couch in the mansion and relaxed reading, I could see strange objects floating and moving down the hallway.

Unexpectedly put the book down and head out into the hallway.

There was Melissa, who magically floated the rice mound.

"What are you doing?

"I hope I bought you rice, but I didn't have the equipment for you, so I thought I'd borrow it from Sylvia."

They're going to make something out of rice.

Melissa is free to fly around using [space magic], so I guess the rice she's trying to use is also something she got cheap from somewhere far away.

"What are you going to make?

I was telling the wind that I was free to act because I was free for a while.

They've been buying rice since this morning if you don't think you can see them.

... five rice mounds.

Seeing the sight floating lightly like a balloon makes me wonder if it's really heavy.

"I'm going to make alcohol"

"Liquor?"

"Yes, I noticed it when I was fermenting it during farming, but I thought it might be available for alcohol as well"

I bought the ingredients for it.

"Shall I show you something?"

Let me accompany you because you've become interested.

First, when you move to the basement of the labyrinth on the 81st floor, you move into an abandoned city.

"How about this?"

When I find a building of affordable size, I slap the wall with a cane.

At the next moment, the building is reborn into new, wrapped in a film of dazzling light from beneath the building. I don't think it was abandoned until a very few seconds ago.

"It's a kind of [spatial magic]. It has the effect of rewinding the target time."

It's a building that was set up as a ruin from the beginning, but it seems it can be rewound to a new state of construction depending on Melissa's perception.

Very convenient magic, but it seems that the current magic alone has consumed nearly 80% of Melissa's enormous magic power. It's not like I can imitate others very much.

"If you think about making alcohol from now on, you can't leave it unhygienic."

It is further sterilized by magic that combines three attributes: wind, fire and water.

"Next -"

Don! and appear where there was nothing iron mass.

Using [space magic] makes it easy to imitate [toolbox].

Gently tap a chunk of iron with a cane. Then a mass of iron turns into a liquid - an iron of unevenness and clay, like slime. It changed its shape to something like a big cup.

Precision until stunning as ever.

"I couldn't even make fungus, so I used my parents' handouts."

Currently, Melissa's home sells liquor in a store near the mansion.

Of course there is a brewery at the supplier.

They got yeast bacteria from there.

Put rice and yeast bacteria in a pre-prepared container to cover.

Usually you need to keep it sealed and then scratch it about once a day and wait for a few days.

My knowledge is only to that extent.

Still, I can understand that the sight in front of me is strange.

"... Is it almost there?

Even though it had only been a few seconds since the lid was closed, Melissa had opened the lid to check the condition inside.

Normally, nothing can change.

But they're making changes, albeit not entirely.

"No way......"

"I can't afford to wait a few days, so I let you use your magic"

"Again."

It was speeding up the time in a confined space, just like when fertilizers were made, and reducing the time needed for fermentation.

Close the lid again and use magic.

"Sounds good, apparently."

Melissa seemed satisfied, so when I let her peek, she was drooling like a white, cloudy liquid.

Sounds like this is it.

Away from the container.

Melissa snaps her fingers pattin 'just to make sure she's safe.

……

Feel the strong force from the container and look back.

Gravity is putting pressure on it, and it seems to be squeezing.

Melissa's magically constructed containers are doubly structured so that they can be fermented and filtered above.

The filtered liquid then accumulates below.

If I noticed, the filtered liquid - the liquor had accumulated.

Even so, an amount of about a glass.

And it's white and cloudy.

Doesn't look like a success no matter how you look at it.

"I'll try it first"

Melissa drinks it up, not even letting me, the Lord, try it out.

"... that's a failure"

The taste was weak and lacked as alcohol.

I don't like it. Melissa challenges again.

"Still doing it?

"I was learning how to make alcohol easily from your father, so I tried..."

Magic can shorten time.

"I don't have that much restraint on flavor, so I wish I could drink it, because it's difficult to drink it as it is now."

Melissa is the strongest drinker among us.

I get drunk in no time. Unlike me, in Melissa's case, I never get drunk no matter how much I drink.

I can't help but this because I'm in my natural physique.

However, Melissa, who has been drinking for a long time, was unhappy with the quantity.

They want the quantity because it doesn't seem to depend on the taste.

"Wouldn't it be quicker to buy them at the store?

It is faster to buy them because they are well rewarded.

"What are you talking about? If I'm going to get a really satisfactory amount, I'm going to need as much water."

"Eh..."

They even put up with it until now.

In the end, the day ended because three challenges did not result in a satisfactory outcome.

"Done!

Melissa rushed in to check on the paladin goblins in the field.

A clear liquid cup is gripped in my hand.

"No way......"

Five days have passed since the liquor prototype.

I don't know where he was going, but he was immersed in brewing all the time when he thought he wasn't showing up except at meals.

"Look at that!

Melissa, looking excited, brings a glass of liquor closer together.

"Ugh...!

I accidentally turned my face against it.

The paladin goblins who were nearby are also holding their noses. The smell must have hit me because demons have a better sense of smell than humans.

This is crazy......

"Hey, I just got a little closer, and I got a strong smell of alcohol coming through."

"Yes, I've had a hard time getting this strong"

Drink-resistant Melissa sought a high degree of alcohol anyway.

As a result, I was able to satisfy myself.

"Though, it seems difficult to sell this"

"I guess."

It's a level you can't drink unless you're a python.

"No, because they demanded quite delicate magic manipulation, it became something unsuitable for mass production."

Just the amount of refined drinks for the family.

Well, we won't have a problem enjoying ourselves.

I don't enjoy drinking the most, though.

"Well, have a drink"

"Huh?"

Melissa knows I can't drink.

But now my desire for me to drink has come forward because I'm excited about having a satisfying drink.

To be honest, I can tell you that if you drink just the smell, you will fall.

But I can't handle it unhindered when I see Melissa smile looking forward to drinking it in front of me.

...... ha.

"I'll have it."

Take the cup and put it in your mouth all at once.

- Batan!

"Eh, duh, what's up!?

So my consciousness was completely interrupted.
