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

Labyrinth in Esterbourg.

It has a structure that leads to the basement, just like any other labyrinth, and the entrance is like a cave protruding from the ground. This doesn't change either.

The entrance is somewhat east of the city centre.

The city was originally created around the entrance of the labyrinth rather than in the heart of the city...... but the ocean extends to the east of the city. As a result, it spread widely beyond the east side, and there was a labyrinth entrance on the east side, and an administration was placed in the centre of the city.

The Adventurer Guild is also on the east side of the city.

This is to promptly recover the items brought in from the labyrinth.

There are other arms stores, tool shops, stalls, etc. for adventurers on the east side.

"Hey, there you are"

"Lizard meat is cheap today!

It's a lot of noise in the morning.

The adventurer dives into the labyrinth early in the morning and comes out in the evening.

I guess I'm busy for adventurers who are about to challenge the labyrinth.

"Excuse me, can I have six?

"Maido!

Ask the stall owner to prepare six skewers.

I couldn't help but notice the word lizard meat skewers.

"Is lizard meat famous in this city?

"Brother, is this your first time in this city?

"I just got here yesterday"

Listen as you receive the lizard meat skewer.

It is in the woods that lizards predominantly live. But I didn't see any lizards in the vicinity of Esterbourg when the meadows just spread out.

If I were to get it, it would be a labyrinth.

"Then can't I not know? I have a labyrinth ahead of me, and I can get all kinds of meat from it every day. Yesterday, by chance, if there was a massive outbreak of lizards, we could have gotten them cheaper."

The stall owner was profiting from buying meat cheaper from adventurers coming out of the labyrinth and selling it cheaper to other adventurers than other stores.

Special, I'm not bound to lizard meat.

Sometimes they usually sell skewers made from pork or bird meat.

"If you like, keep it up."

"I'll think about it"

Walk down the boulevard with skewers on your cheeks.

"... my stomach is swollen and it's not too bad, but it's not like it tastes special."

"There are stalls around here, so I can't help it."

Apparently, I didn't get any ink from Sylvia.

I may not buy skewers even if I come to sell meat in the future.

"And I just had breakfast."

In The Golden Fox Pavilion, bread and bacon were served firmly, a thin but nutritious soup.

Compared to that, the stall skewers are really inferior.

After walking for a while, I see the entrance to the labyrinth.

Cave-shaped entrance protruding from the ground. A pompous hole is like swallowing all the adventurers who challenge the labyrinth.

The perimeter of the entrance is further expanded. This was in case a large number of demons overflowed from the labyrinth, and it is also forbidden to set up stalls to allow for quick combat.

"Wow, you've got quite a few adventurers."

Ira was frightened when she saw the number of adventurers in front of the entrance.

Nearly a hundred adventurers were gathered. Adventurers with piercings like veterans who are about to challenge the labyrinth are checking their gear and tools again, and some are having their last meeting with their peers.

I know those people are in front of the labyrinth.

But some veteran-inspired adventurers.

Most of them were children before or shortly after adulthood.

"I wonder what those kids are?

You don't look like you can fight very well.

Four children rushed over as Ira tilted her neck looking at those children.

"Brothers, don't you want to pack?

"Uh..."

The children were in front of the labyrinth to do their luggage work.

One of the hardest ways to work in the labyrinth is to bring home the materials obtained in the labyrinth. The more material you get, the more baggage you get. Some struggles when you take it home, but you lose your fighting power while holding heavy baggage.

So the presence of a luggage holder (porter) is indispensable.

The same goes for Alistair's labyrinth, so we watched them struggle with a smile from the outside.

Originally, I was supposed to get stronger after those downloads, too.

"It's okay, 'cause we have a' storage ring '"

Storage rings in your possession for excuses help.

In the case where there is a package that cannot normally be held, it is stored in a toolbox (item box) with a larger capacity than the storage ring in combination with the package.

"Oh, really..."

Even the children knew about the existence of 'storage rings'.

Therefore, I immediately understood that I did not need to carry luggage or anything else.

"It's a rush, but it's amazing"

They thought I was running out of my age.

Kids don't have the skill to determine their rank based on the awesomeness of their equipment.

"Uh..."

Noel looks sorry.

The children look stunning. My clothes are worn out, and my body is dirty. I haven't washed my clothes in days. I wiped my body days ago.

The "Golden Fox Pavilion" can use the bath by paying an extra fee, and if you ask for it, you will do the laundry in the middle of the day, so I ask for the laundry of the clothes I wore yesterday before going out.

I can only see that they are in a bad situation.

"In the meantime, even this..."

Illis grabs me by the hand that I almost accidentally put out a copper coin.

"What are you going to do?

"What..."

"If you think it's pathetic or something, you shouldn't do anything halfway."

"What's halfway..."

"How many of these kids do you think are in this city?

Dozens of children are waiting just in front of the entrance to the labyrinth.

There will be children who have already dived into the labyrinth, and there should be more in the city even if they have not come before the entrance.

Give money only to a few people in front of you.

Give money to every stray child in the city.

It's not fair, and I can't because I don't have Kiri.

Heart-friendly Noel just wanted to do something about it, but that doesn't save him any good.

"If you're serious about helping, you need to let the kids gain as much power as they can make on their own. But we can't afford to do that."

And I have no edge or affiliation with it.

How much time the hell will it take to gain as much power as you can earn permanently?

and give in to focus on the children that Illis rushed over to.

"Where did your father and mother go?

"... I'm not coming home"

"There he is."

Boso Boso and some kids squeak.

Their parents were adventurers, challenging the labyrinth to make money. But it is the adventurer who is defeated by the unforeseen things that have happened, even if he had established a clear way of acting in the labyrinth.

Many people stop going back to some trouble.

If that happens, the family will be left behind.

Only one, the child left behind, will have to live alone.

There will be about an orphanage in the city, but that too cannot accept everyone because of the capacity limitations.

Kids with the extra kids in front of them doing so.

The children also have a faint understanding that their parents are not coming home.

Every year, an adventurer who goes missing in the labyrinth goes on and on.

The number of children seeking work is increased by the repetition of such things.

"It'll be tough, but good luck"

"Yeah!"

I make cute footsteps with my patties and go back to where I came from.

He had turned his eyes to see what he missed as he looked at him afterwards.

"Are you sure?

"Even those kids understand their situation. Then I'd rather you give me a job than be poorly sympathetic. We should not interfere more than we need without the work to give"

With that said, Illis was also an orphan.

I can only say this because I have had similar experiences.

It would be better not to interfere more than necessary, as Iris says.
