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

Participants in the meeting were Baron Sealing and his wife.

Count Alistair and Mr. Gaelio are sitting across the long table, and me and Melissa are having a very nice meal next to Mr. Gaelio.

Baron Aegil Sealing, the head of the Sealing family, is a man in his forties or so and has his brown hair cut into a horn.

It caters to visitors as a host. But I am nervous with Count Alistair, whose opponent is overwhelmingly superior to me.

He is carrying his appetizer and soup to his mouth with a cramped grin.

In the meantime, we haven't taken the initiative to talk and forget to gather information.

"So, to say hello to Wang Du?

"That's right. I should have asked in the summer when the coup settled, but there was a lot going on in the spring."

"Oh, you're talking about the destruction of a village south of Alistair. What happened to you?

"We managed to attach the cooperation of those who lived in the village. Even Alistair recruited immigrants so he could take a few young people."

The reconstruction of the village seems to be going well.

Alistair has many young people who have dreamed and come out to the city. But few can really succeed.

They gathered a significant number of people when they recruited those who wished to migrate from young people who just smoked and lived every day. When I returned home, there was no place for me anymore, so I sought a new heaven and earth where I could live.

This is going to be tough. Anyway, we have to be able to live from almost nothing. During the winter months, they will return if it seems impossible because they also seem to allow evacuation to Alistair.

Meat dishes are brought in when we're talking about Alistair's situation these days.

It smokes duck meat and the special sauces go hand in hand very well.

"As far as I'm concerned, you're worried about the boy."

"You know what?

"Yes, the King's capital suffered devastating damage as a result of the earlier raids. A-rank adventurer who easily crusaded that demon. It is now very noticeable that the adventurer is closest to the S-rank adventurer"

It can be assumed that almost everyone in the nobility will know that even a nobleman as small as Baron Sealing will be known.

"Adventurers stronger than S-rank adventurers. You're interested in what you've done so far."

"Right..."

Briefly talk about what's been going on.

Of particular interest to me were the disturbances in the Labyrinth in the Kingdom of Estalia and in the Carthea in the Glenvarga Empire. Both asked for buyouts in the Adventurer Guild, and it is fine to be known because it is a story that is originally public because it has been spoken to the Guild.

Being aristocratic, we can gather some information about the country. However, it would be a shame for the Baron to be able to listen to me from a party because there are only a few pieces of information that he can collect if he is also a foreign country.

"You've been acting a lot."

"Yeah, thanks to a bit of luck, I've been caught up in a lot of trouble because I've gained a lot of strength."

"Normally I can say it's a special circumstance because I hunt and sell demons and end my life within a merchant or other escort"

"Oh, I'm taking on those requests properly,"

"And she too?

Baron Sealing's eyes are directed towards Melissa, who is dressed in a dress.

If you're looking into me, you know the composition of the party members.

If you're going to provide an escort, you're going to fight demons and bandits. Melissa, dressed in her current dress, doesn't look very able to fight.

"Yes, I have protected carriages that are attacked, and vice versa, I have attacked bandit strongholds."

If you crusade the bandits, the treasures that were accumulating will be the property of those who crusade.

The bandit raid was a welcome one for us, as it would be a little extraordinary reward.

"Are you okay?

The Lady sitting next to the Baron looks worried.

About the age of Melissa seems like a daughter to her. I didn't mind a young woman that age fighting a bandit or anything.

"We've done a bandit exorcism recently, so it's okay."

"Hmm. That's great. For a lord, bandits can only be a source of troubles, so I appreciate you crusading them."

"I'd appreciate it if you could say that. Recently, crusading bandits were saving more treasure than they expected."

That's what I say. Get the ring out of the storage ring.

"Huh..."

The knife and fork that was cutting the meat fall out of Baron Sealing's hand.

The Lady who was next door was also surprised for a different reason than the Baron...... she was confused and stopped her hand.

"What's wrong?

Place the ring on the table, checking the faces of the two casually.

A ring with a clear, luminous gemstone on it.

"What's wrong with that?

The lady asks unexpectedly.

"This is the ring that the bandits kept important. I'm not familiar with jewelry, but I've determined it's quite valuable."

"Oh, um... can I see it?

"Go ahead."

Put the ring on and bring your hands closer to the lady.

The lady concerned about the ring unwittingly reaches out to get herself out and get her hands on it.

"You..."

But Baron Sealing grabbed the hand and stopped it.

"I don't even have to check. That's my ring."

"Were you?

"Oh, oh."

The baron nodded at Melissa's words to make him fall in love.

"Okay, I'll pay you back"

"Is that good?

"Yes. As far as your wife's reaction is concerned, is it a very important thing?

"That's right. It's still the ring we both picked out and bought when we were young before I took over the throne."

Such an important thing was in the bandit's ego.

Obviously unnatural.

"I lost it a while ago, but it seems it was in the hands of a bandit at some point"

"If it's important, you should keep it properly."

"Well..."

Obviously wolfish.

"I'm not feeling well, so I'm going to let you leave. Of course, don't worry, we'll thank you for the ring later. Enjoy your dinner."

The baron leaves the room with a maid who was holding back in the corner of the room to serve.

Already the dishes will come in anticipation of timing because they only leave dessert behind.

I have to finish talking to you before I do.

"What about the ring now?

I haven't heard anything specific from Melissa.

I had left all the negotiations to my trust that a wise girlfriend would not respond wrong.

"I told you everything."

"You mean the treasure you got from exorcising the bandits?

"Yes."

But I don't remember that ring.

When raiding bandits in Asia, they do so with a few elites. There is no reason why people who are chased like bandits are aside in places that are visible, and they often use caves and small huts from attacking carriages that run outside of town. If the six of us attack a place like that, we can't help but be narrow.

So we're not always acting together.

Maybe it's the treasure of a bandit crusaded in my absence.

"Yeah, it's the treasure of a bandit who crusaded in the middle of something else."

"When..."

"It happened this morning."

"Huh..."

There's no reason not to know because I wasn't at Count Alistair's escort this morning.

But it will only be a few hours since the bandit's crusade. There is no reason why we have to crusade the bandits in a hurry.

"What happened?

"Father."

"What?

I say, not answering my question, but looking at Mr. Gaelio.

"We did not receive the product that was supposed to be wholesaled to the store. It's a bandit raid."
