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

"What's going on..."

in a room high above where you can look over the plum.

So a man about forty years old shrugged when he saw the sight spreading in front of him.

"Be sure to hold your mind"

"That being said..."

Next to the man stood an old butler in butler's clothes.

Various disturbances were currently occurring in Plum. Raids by demons and slaves jumping out of the basement. We have not caught up with many of the rampant, though repression by knights and soldiers is taking place, and we do not see an end at the beginning and end of coming out next.

"If this were the case, I shouldn't have accepted Reginald's request or anything."

"But if you don't accept, it's ruin waiting for the Riggacs."

"Let me explain what you mean."

……

The two turn around at the same time.

I'm ahead of you - Iris.

"How did you get here?

"I was allowed to use a few special skills to get an accurate map of Plum"

Skills [Labyrinth Manipulation: Map (Map)].

When used outside the labyrinth, the skill of making maps by knowing the structure of the places we pass through and see.

It hasn't been half a day since I came to Plum. If it's just me or the Mars, you can't go around all of Plum. But I was flying Sandrat all over the city while I was acting in the city. The map could be completed thanks to dozens of sandrats running endlessly, hand-in-hand and exploring it.

I was stepping into the most important of them all.

This is the Lords' Hall. There was a knight on the escort, but he was distracted by the disturbances outside and never noticed me approaching him.

The purpose is - the elimination of the head that Mars was talking about.

But from what I'm saying and doing now, it doesn't seem like we're going to solve it where we've eliminated him - Rodriguez Riggac, Lord of Plumb.

"I don't care how I got here. More than that, tell me what your relationship was with Reginald."

"Duh, why should I teach such a thing..."

"Master Rodriguez!

Deacon stands in front of the lord and alerts me.

Apparently you don't understand the situation.

So I show you the requisition form from Curtis. I had multiple pieces available for use even when I was acting differently from Marus.

"We are adventurers moving at the request of the King. Amnesty may also be possible if you honestly cooperate with us. But if you disobey..."

A similar judgment is handed down to Reginald.

"No, you can guess the circumstances anyway"

"Melissa?"

"Look at this"

The documents found by Melissa exploring the Degret Chamber of Commerce will also be visible to me through her sight.

I see.

"Looks like you've been doing a lot of things."

"What are you talking about!

"Tax fallacy, besides erasing the records of visitors to the city from the books and shouldering them into certain chambers of commerce… what happened to those who were not supposed to have visited given that those documents remained with the Degret Chamber of Commerce…"

There are people in the Degret Chamber of Commerce who have been enslaved for reasons other than debt and crime.

The majority of them are kidnapped by bandits, but in some cases the town is actively involved as a sad event.

The commercial city of Plum was also active in securing slavery. Plum is visited by many, some of whom are uncertain about the news. If they also disappear from the records of visiting the city, they become missing and no one can find them.

"And I had no choice..."

"What 'couldn't help it'?

Stick a sword in the lord's neck.

The butler seemed to want to protect him, but he wasn't even able to capture the moment I pulled my sword out of my sheath.

"At first, it was advice from a newly hired minister. If you mislead the paperwork a little, you can reduce the taxes you pay to the country... it was a little bit of an accident."

The newly hired minister was a civilian who had previously been able to use it in the country, but he left because of a poor compromise with his boss.

I was looking for new talent at Plum and I hired it because I had an application.

But that was Reginald's trap.

"He sent someone to work illegally to take my plum."

The new minister had received a secret order from Reginald.

The contents of a covert order shall be designed to work wrongdoing, and clear evidence shall be available.

The minister brilliantly fulfilled his clandestine life from Reginald and used it to threaten his lord when he obtained clear evidence.

"If we find out about that, the Riggacs will be removed from Pram's rule."

Amounts due to fraud are insignificant.

Nevertheless, the status of lord of a large city will be pursued thoroughly if it is known to be even small injustice because everyone is after it.

It was only because we knew that that the lord had to obey Reginald's orders.

"So, what were you doing?

You can imagine if you see the sight spreading in town.

"I was silent on capturing the slaves"

"... How far is silence? To be transported into town from somewhere else? Or to the point where an adventurer in town can be caught?

"More than that."

Provide information on unseen places.

Furthermore, although the Riggac family was not actively involved, there were knights being acquired and the forces of war to serve the lords were carrying out the kidnapping.

"That's a good number of people."

Melissa glances at the material.

What she's looking at now is a dossier that records the payment of a reward for helping. I don't know what the intent was to leave this material behind.

But it's evidence that I was involved in the evil.

"Collect it."

'Yes, we are collecting allowances and materials that seem to be available, so it's time to withdraw'

Melissa can't go wrong.

Well, it's time to negotiate.

"How are you going to take responsibility?

"What do you mean?

"You see the view outside and you don't think anything?

It is those who have been forced into slavery who are attacking.

It is the knights and soldiers who are being attacked. As far as I can remember from that, the average citizen who was cooperative in the kidnapping.

Their anger is legitimate.

But there's no reason to leave it like this.

"What kind of atonement do you make for your present situation as a lord... you can't say I'm going to leave you standing still like this"

……

A lord bites his teeth into my words.

I was bound by being aristocratic. So I tried to rock my pride as a nobleman. Lords have an obligation to protect their territories and people.

Can you say that the situation now is protected as a lord...?

The answer is no.

It's also a good place to disqualify if you're really going to stay as a lord.

"Tell everyone in town to deliver their weapons. On top of that, I bow my head to all those who have been harmed...... no, I have made them suffer hard"

"Please wait. If the Lords do that, the Riggacs..."

"It will undoubtedly be crushed"

Just take it down and get it done.

The Duke was very angry at what Reginald was doing. After what's done, I don't even want to think about what punishment awaits me.

"Let's go."

Lords trying to leave the room.

It's nice to be temperamental, but if you were doing that, you wouldn't have enough time.

"Use this"

Give me a magic tool shaped like a thick stick.

"What is this?

"The words I said toward it are expanding from a remote place where the paired magic tools were placed to spread around"

They let Sandrat, who is all over the city, serve magic tools as a starting point.

Now we can preach the lord's words all over the city while we're in the room.

'This one's ready, but what's Mars doing?

Mars, who is supposed to be hunting down Reginald.

You never contacted me since you gave me the instructions, so I decided to check the situation.

"Now I'm chasing behind Reginald, who's running on his own over there"

"No way, are you chasing me?

You don't have to do that.

We have a magic tool called a pendulum (Dowsing Pendulum) that allows us to detect positions. We could already recognize Prince Reginald, so we could hunt him down from as far away as possible. So you don't have to keep chasing me.

'That's not true. So he's running away, recognizing me, and he's giving away orders to get rid of me. "

'... Could it be, are you having fun?

"I'm sure you're happy to save yourself the trouble."
