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

- 19th floor, basement, Esterbourg Labyrinth.

'Prairie Field' continues from the eleventh floor unchanged. but there were a lot of big demons up there, whereas there are more violent demons in the second half.

Proceed through the labyrinth as you crush them all.

Demonic strength is not an issue.

"Problem is, the labyrinth is big."

I feel like I'm being run for nothing because I'm wider than Alistair.

Thanks in particular to the presence of a strategic map, we are able to proceed faster than usual because we do not have to worry about getting lost.

"I have no choice. I hear the breadth of the labyrinth is wider than Esther Boolean."

"Shh, seriously!?

A big city with hundreds of thousands of people living in it.

Even when I saw it from afar outside the city, I felt it was too big.

A bigger labyrinth than such a city.

"Well, it's not actually underground."

The labyrinth is subspace.

It is about the entrance to the earth that exists as a reality, and the rest is a subspace created by powers similar to magic.

Complete the registration by touching the metastatic crystals located at the entrance of the 19th basement floor.

"Well, which one?

Review the map of the labyrinth.

"... Looks like it's headed east"

Copy that.

The location that moved to the 19th basement is the center of the hierarchy.

I'm just calling it the east on my own because the sun is just above the center, but according to the map, there's an exit in that direction.

"What's in here?

"Only - Bear Meat"

When I asked, Illis told me.

A fierce bear-shaped demon lurks all over the hierarchy, and caution should be exercised against bushes and rock shadows that cannot be seen on the other side.

Among the beast-shaped demons, they are classified as the most powerful class demons.

However, unfortunately, Illis said the bear 'meat'.

A fierce demon has already been treated as meat in her opponent as well.

"Bear meat, is it... I'll take care of it"

Sylvia is already willing to cook.

"If there's only one concern, it's the Golden Fox Pavilion."

Since we can't go back to the mansion, we need to rent the kitchen at the inn when it comes to cooking. But the lady general's husband and daughter in that inn are bear-shaped beasts. I get anxious to see the same bear-shaped demon as my own family get stuck as an ingredient.

"Don't ever say that in front of a beast man."

And, Noel comes with caution.

Let her, the beast man, tell you, even if she had the same characteristics as the beast in her flesh, the beast man and the demon are completely separate. It's an intolerable insult.

"I was plainly a fox earlier, too."

"... right when they say it"

Noel, the same fox-shaped beast man, was instantly killing the fox he encountered on the fourteenth floor underground.

It is a demon who freely manipulates fire and sometimes even shows it to hallucinations, but it was pierced with a tin cane thrown from a place away without causing something to be done.

The demon is now stored in the toolbox.

It seems humiliating to be considered just like such a demon when you make Noel say it.

"Okay. I would never say that."

"Nice."

Fix Noel's mood and then check the map.

Finding a bear is easy because it displays real-time information.

There's a bear running this way.

"The demon noticed us. That's why they're attacking me. If it was that simple, I'd be glad I didn't have any trouble..."

"It doesn't seem that simple."

Running bear.

Before that there are five adventurers. It's a typical party of bandits, archers and wizards for two warriors because of their gear.

Five adventurers desperately fleeing the bear.

"You're being chased for failing to crusade the Grey Bear."

The bear you're chasing is a bear-shaped demon with gray hair.

Hair is fuzzy, but the skin beneath it is as hard as scales and a demon with excellent defense, so you need to be well prepared in advance when doing battle.

If you get your hands on it without knowing about it, you're going to see painful eyes.

"Instead it's delicious."

Bear hands are treated as one of the finest ingredients.

The meat also has a flavour just commensurate with its strength.

"So, what do you do?

"Naturally, I will."

You will be able to clearly recognize the appearance of an adventurer fleeing within doing so.

I can recognize it from here, which means it should be recognizable to some extent from beyond.

"Damn, I'm persistent!

"Ha-ha-ha... run!

"A little more patience."

I am desperately running away while encouraging my people.

Apparently, he's escaping to the entrance of the hierarchy and escaping to the ground with a metastatic crystal. Unless there is more to it, it may be the surest way because there is nothing like moving through the labyrinth hierarchy and following it. However, in doing so, everyone's metastases may not be attacked in time.

In that case, it is death that awaits the attacked.

"Shall I help you?

Screaming at the escaping adventurers.

If you intrude into a battle with demons that other adventurers are fighting without checking to see if you need help, even if it was from good intentions, you may be complained of being taken hostage.

So we need to make sure under any circumstances.

"Oh, oh! I need your help!

A warrior man who was running the lead raises his voice.

Now I've got the word. Meaningless where my buddy said something.

"Ira."

"Pleasant."

Ira rushes right through.

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground with the roar of the gray bear.

"Huh...?

The adventurers who were accidentally fleeing are looking back.

There's a gray bear suffering from suppressing his amputated left arm. There was a figure of Ira standing with her sword pulled out in front of her.

He was a gray bear proud of his defense, but in front of Ira he was as paper.

"I'm home."

I finished the crusade in less than a minute.

In the meantime, I decide to take it back after only post-processing such as blood drainage.

"You can have all this guy"

"Oh, oh..."

Check with the warrior man.

"If we were fighting other demons, we'd just hit the grey bear with a stray bullet. The damage done to this guy is insignificant."

The attack I shot while escaping that dealt damage as well.

It wasn't a lot of damage because of the considerable loss of power.

In the end, it's just the damage slashed by Ira's sword.

"Oh well."

Then you won't be complaining about bringing it all back.

There is no way I can say that Sylvia can't take it home any more now that she keeps dismantling it with a delightful face knowing that fresh bear meat will be available.

"What are you going to do now?

"We're going home now. For what I earned today, I threw it away while I was running away, and I'm hurt. During this time, I just became a C-rank adventurer and it was the reason I was floating. You're gonna need to keep your head down a little bit."

"C-rank…"

It's the same rank as the man who wore it yesterday.

Apparently, the warrior man is the party leader. Probably the most ranked of the parties. It can also be judged by the quality of the equipment.

The men turned their backs on this one and walked out.

"Oh, hey..."

"... what's up? I thank you for your help, but I'm not giving you any thanks."

"... no, the metastatic crystals are right there, so I don't think that's a problem, but they seem to be making some of the gear unusable, and go home with care."

"Thanks for your concern"

Now it's time for the men to leave.

After a while, we found out that we were back on the ground with metastatic crystals, thanks to looking at the map.

"Is something wrong?

Ira, who's finished demolishing, is approaching.

The hand is stained bright red with blood.

"No, I just made sure they weren't labyrinth officials."

We'll help at the right time.

I felt like I was doing too much, so I checked.

"How?

Ira was also from a distance, but I watched the interaction between me and them.

But it just looks like we're having a conversation, no matter where we look from.

"You just have to check their status."

"Oh -"

All the labyrinth officials I had ever met had the title 'Labyrinth Lord' or 'Labyrinth Family'.

They don't have either title. They're not labyrinth officials.

"[Labyrinth Magic: Appraisal] - a skill that allows you to check information on labyrinth treasures and demons, but also check their status"

Subject restrictions can be removed by use in the labyrinth.

You can take a peek at the status of whatever person you're dealing with.

It's the most probable way to identify a labyrinth lord.

"Those guys are normal adventurers. I don't have a problem leaving it."

The results of the appraisal only said 'adventurer'.

"More than that, it's sundown, and when we're done dismantling the bear meat, shall we go back?"
