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

At the time, Rio had just become emperor.

Having crossed the trials in the labyrinth made him a one-jump man. As a result, more people in Imperial Capital dreamed of going to the labyrinth.

The two Phantom Mercenaries also had longing for the Labyrinth as those who had made their name on the battlefield.

But I didn't feel like challenging the labyrinth in a situation where I had two kids and I was about to have a third.

If you don't need to win a thousand bucks, that's the story.

The two men gambled everything to the labyrinth.

"So, what happened?

I became concerned as I experienced a similar situation.

"Nothing."

"Huh..."

"I was already the master of the labyrinth by then. If you give people enough money to invite them to the labyrinth, you don't imitate them to grab a thousand dollars."

Rio knows about the Phantom Mercenaries because he did a lot of research on them because of this one incident.

I mean, it's all over.

"They went to the back in search of treasure. Some of you were overconfident of your powers. I was able to fight the demon opponent, but he died hooked into a trap because of the unscrupulous way he went. That's all we're talking about."

If you're a labyrinth lord, you'll hear a lot about it.

And the upside after that is a common story.

Dependents who do not return. Family waiting.

The deadline for the drug bill came within that time frame.

"At the hands of the doctor who treated my son, he was left with a statement that even if the two fathers were enslaved, they would pay off their debts"

There was no other way to help my son.

Even if I couldn't get the money ready, if it helps my sons to sacrifice myself, fine, that's what I was thinking.

But no father is supposed to sell himself.

Someone had to take his place.

"At that time, the two mothers were not in a situation where they were caged and could stand being slaves."

The erasure method set the child to sell himself.

But there's not a lot of money a child can make. It wasn't enough on its own.

"I'm glad I was treated. They're taking my two sons."

Families that became only mothers with caged children.

After that, I never returned as one of the family members who had been safely but no longer had a girl.

"Besides, do you think a woman can live on her own while raising a newborn child?

"I don't think so."

Anyway, kids are handy.

The former mercenary woman is far from her hometown.

The former waitress woman also didn't like living in the country and flew out of her hometown to live even though she was poor in the Imperial capital.

Only about one person could count on each other in a situation of distress for both of us.

"He was raising his daughter while he was in debt, but a year ago the limit came and the whole family was taken by someone"

No earlier investigation has been carried out.

What mattered to Rio was what the retired Phantom Mercenaries were doing now.

"Mercenary cards were recovered from two people who died in the labyrinth."

"I have three, though?

"I don't know why there's a woman's share. Probably even in the luggage of my dead husband in the labyrinth. When you were a mercenary because you retired, you handled your tools appropriately."

Two dead, one missing.

"There's a reason I chose Phantom Mercenaries as my disguised opponent."

Three mercenaries who were fighting on the battlefield are shown in the air.

"Whoa."

"Cool"

At some point, Sierra and Guardill watched the footage sparkling their eyes.

No problem because you don't know what footage it is where the two of us saw it.

"Mercenary of Full Body Armor"

"Yes."

A group of three mercenaries hiding themselves with 'black' and 'white' and 'red' armor.

Because neither his fellow mercenaries knew the contents of the armor, they became known as the 'Phantom Mercenaries' in the sense that no one knew what they really were.

"The doctor knew what was in it because he treated it."

There is no reason to keep your armor on if you really want to treat it.

I was able to get used to the life of the Empire because they didn't know my face.

"Don't you think I'll help the family left behind?

If we investigate, we can know what happened to the four women.

Besides, even the four sons, years after they became slaves, can be freed by shouldering their debts.

"No."

Rio denied it while he knew how to do those things.

"It would be easy for me, the emperor, to feed a few of the enslaved ones. But how many slaves do you think the Empire alone has?

There are countless people who, like the three Phantom Mercenaries, find themselves in need because of special circumstances.

It is possible to the extent of helping a few people, but it is absolutely impossible to help everyone.

So how do a few people choose to help?

... impossible to choose.

Those who were not chosen will definitely leak dissatisfaction, and they will pursue it emphatically, emphasizing that there are those who are not helped to the rich who are supposed to be irrelevant.

The emperor must not help a few people.

If they can help, those who, despite their special talents, cannot see the day because they are in distress.

Only if the advantages of helping like those outweigh the disadvantages.

And in the case of Phantom Mercenaries, I don't see enough merit in helping them at the stage of listening.

They were simply unlucky.

In the capital, where hundreds of thousands live, it's a common story.

"You don't even know what they look like in Imperial City."

The doctor, who knew his face, has also been imprisoned for attempting to poison the child.

He contributes to the empire by treating the injuries and illnesses of prisoners who are made to work like slaves in rigorous camps. The vengeful doctor was satisfactorily hitting the prisoner's treatment without leaking dissatisfaction with the status quo. Perhaps he will end his life as it is.

And it seems to be confirmed that he's still in jail.

"Now I know why these guys are right for the person they're going to disguise."

Many do not know their faces.

I have a mercenary card on hand.

There are no longer any of them.

Even if I dress as a mercenary, I don't know a mercenary. It's impossible for me to disguise myself. I guess they are the most suitable of the options Rio can offer.

"Then there's something I want you to look into. I just don't want the Emperor's me going to the battlefield, so I want you to look into it."

"Fine. Instead, you're gonna have to play the reward."

Act as a mercenary.

But the request itself was taken on by the Emperor as an adventurer.

Of course, you must be rewarded.

"Damn... you're a strong guy"

Even so, Melissa will negotiate on remuneration.

Then prepare the necessary tools for the disguise.

Easy opponent to replicate, but that's a story if you have the tools right.

Tri-colored armor covering the entire body.

It's a pretty special order, and it could expose who we are when someone finds out we've got it. There was no reason to let others intervene by purchasing or ordering.

So, it's the labyrinth you can count on.

Expenses required, though it will consume some of the magic of the labyrinth.

Necessary expenses, so I asked Rio to use the magic of the Imperial Labyrinth.

We had armor on hand that suited our bodies.

"Heavy......"

Sylvia in white armor shrugged.

Don't complain.

Ira in red armor is also about to suffer.

Sylvia is the type to fight with the greatest emphasis on speed, and Ira lightens her opponent's attacks because they tend to avoid them.

For both of us, armor is only in the way.

I put up with black armor, too.

"You have no choice. Melissa and Noel leave a message. The three of us are going to have to take charge of the Phantom Mercenaries because we're asking Iris to do something else."

I had no other choice.

"No, I'll do it..."

He wears it even though he is unhappy.

In relation to fighting the Royal Army, it was not possible to find out who it was, so it was decided to dive into the battlefield in this way.
