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

The next day.

Meet with the president of the Golden Fox Chamber of Commerce, and the day that 'structural change' takes place is tomorrow.

There are many adventurers who are in the mood for the last thing today.

We'll start exploring the basement on the 26th floor today.

"Wow, beautiful place"

I didn't have enough time yesterday to see what was happening on the 26th basement floor because I returned to the ground with a metastatic crystal that was right around the corner after I moved to the 26th basement.

So for the first time, Ira was impressed to see the sight of 'Undersea Field' continuing from the 26th basement floor. Other members have lost their words. Of course I was right in front of you...... I was thrilled with the beautiful view over my head.

Undersea field.

It's a cave under the sea, as its name suggests. However, it is bright thanks to the transparent ceilings and the light coming in. Besides, sometimes the roads are wide and there is no difficulty due to the narrowness characteristic of the cave.

What you get in this field are crustaceans demons like crabs and shrimps.

There were also crabs and shrimps in the "Great Sea Plains Field" above, but not all of them are ordinary creatures and there are no demons, but even less combative adventurers can hunt because they were all warm and weak demons.

But that's no reason to go from here on out.

I had that information in advance.

"You checked the map."

Everyone snorts.

Basically, it's no different from 'Cave Field' from the first to the tenth basement floor.

Walk down a complicated, rock-walled path for an exit.

No, if you think only about exploration, if you think about the fact that the scaffolding is flat and easy to walk, the difficulty may be lower in "submarine field".

The most different is the wide waterway to the left and right of the aisle.

It's as wide as 20 meters, and the waterway is as wide as both left and right combined.

There are demons lurking in the waterway. The detection of signs fades when they are underwater, making them susceptible to surprise attacks from underwater.

"So, what are we going for here?

Noel asks.

Basically, she's the style that follows us.

Gems and gold coins, fine meats and pearls.

I have been aiming for a variety of high value items to be traded so far.

I suppose you think there's a substitute for what you're looking for in 'Undersea Field' as well.

"No, there's nothing we're looking for here."

"Really?

Noel tilting his neck.

In fact, it's not like many adventurers who are challenging the 'submarine field' are working for certain objects.

"The meat we get here is traded for a lot of money."

Approaching the waterway.

Shortly afterwards, you perceived any sign of this one. A bird jumps out of the water.

A little pixie-shaped demon about a meter long. It's very belligerent, and when it strikes people, they eat it up burly with sharp fangs. Besides, the shiny skin needs to be crushed by striking weapons that are easy to play with… but in that case the flesh is damaged, so enemies who don't really want to fight for the adventurer.

Gussa!

A sword protruding in a straight line pierces the Little Shark, a monster in the shape of a bamboo.

He hasn't died from being pierced with a sword, and he's bouncing bitchy with a skewer.

"Sylvia, can you cook the tuna?

"... I've never cooked before, so I don't know if I'm going to try it."

"Right."

Todome Little Shark and dismantle.

You can take it home as it is, but it has a useful use for the blood flowing when it is dismantled.

"All in all, the enemies on this field are strong. They're better than regular food, and they trade for more money, so you can go for any one of them. Crusade the demons and collect the material as you go."

I don't even need to hurry today.

You can just be defeating demons appropriately.

"... ok!

I had a little time to think about it, but Noel figured it out too.

Here he comes.

Something pops out of the waterway.

It landed in the aisle. It came this way with a beacon.

"Chip, hassle."

"Hassle?"

"You were bleeding earlier. The demons in this field are basically belligerent, so they come together attracted to the smell of blood."

So there are also many traces of blood in remote places.

These will also disappear if 'structural change' occurs. Today was the last day, leaving a lot of blood behind.

"Except it's a hassle in front of you."

It was a man-shaped demon with fish scales, fins, and watermarks - a half-fish man (Sahagin) who jumped out of the waterway.

Sahagin meat, unfortunately, is not suitable for consumption and there are no areas for the body to use as a material. The only thing that sells is the magic stone. However, demon stones can be sold for a good price thanks to their high fighting power.

Five less valuable sahaggins like that.

Basically, it's dangerous when you're alone to act as a group.

Fewer people than we are, though.

Besides, I am not motivated because I am weak when I compare strength with this one.

"Gah!"

"Ggah!"

The moment he lands on the ground, he is restrained by the soil in the shape of an arm raised by the magic of Melissa and slashed by the sword of Ira and Iris where he is no longer able to move.

The method of slaughter is appropriate because we can't both sell anything but demon stones.

"Once dismantled, move on, or... hmm?

I hear a metal meeting called Kinkin from the end of the aisle.

That's not the sound of one or two fighting either, more... nearly ten people fighting at the same time.

"You want to go check it out?

"Right. You can dismantle it later."

As I walked away, twelve adventurers surrounded one big demon.

The demon in the center is a big crab-shaped demon three meters long - the Red Crab (Crimson Club). I usually have a vermilion body, but when I get as excited as I am in battle, my body stains red and my combat ability is higher. Nevertheless, it takes time to get excited, so it's the right way to deal with the Crimson Club to crusade after being well prepared.

But the Crimson Club, which is fighting in front of us, is stained bright red.

I guess it's been quite some time since the battle started already.

"Hey, you're not done getting ready for magic yet!?

"Just give me a few more minutes!

Behind the adventurers are two wizards preparing their magic.

Looks like he's going to crusade the Crimson Club with his high-powered magic.

However, if you look at it, you can see that it has only worn out a little bit. He tried to attack in the same way at first, but I guess he's trying to attack again because he's failed.

"Gu!!

An adventurer who had a big shield on the front line is blown away.

At their level, it's time for the limit.

"All right, get away!

Ready for the two wizards.

Speaking up, the six adventurers, equipped with swords, hammers and axes, who were fighting in front of the Crimson Club, split left and right simultaneously.

There is no precipitation in the movement, and it is beautifully divided to the left and right. Equipment is more balanced than that. This was probably originally a joint crusade between the two parties, gathered towards their own parties.

Burn it down, Inferno.

"Go - Flame Spear"

When one wizard uses magic, a flame blows up from the foot of the red crab.

'Flaming Hell' that can burn a wide range. This magic has a wide range of effects and a long duration. However, due to the high amount of magic consumed, caution should be exercised when handling when searching. However, thanks to the use of difficult magic, the damage is definitely accumulated on the red crab.

But the red crab isn't just damaged either. I am desperately trying to escape the sea of flames.

There, the spear of fire unleashed by another wizard strikes. The spear is not meant to defeat the red crab, but to stop it on the spot. When it hits one at a time, it explodes and prevents it from escaping.

"Gi, gi, gi..."

Eventually the red crab fell as she groaned.

"Phew..."

He was sighing out of no-one with the success of the crusade.

"Now you're done with your request."

"Nobleman, you want to throw a party with a red crab or something unscrupulous."

"Still get paid just for it, all right?"

"Well..."

After all, the two parties were on a joint crusade, which was being discussed by the leaders of each other's parties.

The other members are dismantled. You may have a storage ring, but when it comes to storing demons as big as red crabs, you need pretty expensive stuff. I can bring it back by dismantling it and making it smaller.

"Nice, crab..."

I watched the red crab grow smaller as Ira looked envious.

I don't even know what it feels like. I had my first meal when I went to Port Town, but it tasted unforgettable to us living on the border.

"You can't have that. Because it's the demon they crusaded."

"That's all I know."

Pussy turned around and walked out.

"Is it that good?

Ira's enviable appearance made me want to try Noel as well.

"Do you want to try it next time?

"Really!?

Red crabs can also appear in Alistair's labyrinth.

However, I was hesitant to prepare it as edible because it would consume quite a bit of magic and could not be easily served.

Noel, who had previously continued to moderate as a 'witch', had never eaten crabs that he could not eat without going to the sea. It's been a long year since I've been here, but I've never eaten crabs. That's about as much of a burden as she wants.

"No, apparently you don't have to bear it"

Sylvia, who senses signs of a new demon, points to the end of the aisle.

Soon our ears will also hear a heavy footsteps called Dosin, Dosin.

"Chip, this guy..."

"Dude... are you serious?"

An adventurer who was fighting the Red Crab earlier squeaks.

It was the new red crab that showed up from the end of the aisle. I'm pressed to see if I've detected in any way that my people have been crusaded.

"Damn, how come a new guy is coming so soon when he just crusaded the guy he's been looking around for since yesterday?"

"If you are complaining like that!? There's no room for us to deal with him right now. Take only the parts you can take home and retreat."

"... is that all there is"

Recover the crab legs cut by the men, etc.

Ira goes through the side of it.

"What? Whoa, lady. What are you thinking!?

From the point of view of the men who were struggling with just one red crab for twelve, challenging the red crab alone would look like suicide.

But it's Ira who's trying.

Shortly after a quick run past the side of the red crab, the red crab collapses.

Nearby there are two legs rolled cut from the roots.

'What?'

The adventurers shout out when they see their struggling Crimson Club fall apart easily.

Red crabs have ten legs.

Still, if you lose two in the middle of a run, you lose your balance.

"Noel says he's never eaten, and when he gets home, he's ready for a crab pot."
