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

The towns and villages around Krashel have finally regained their calm over a few days, although the weather has left them off for a day.

It's winter, so I won't be working on reconstruction right away.

Still, I want to keep the minimum situation in place for the spring. Little by little reconstruction will be possible.

"Thanks for your help this time."

Lords' office.

We'll get paid for lining up in front of the desk.

"Rescue to the city, crusade of the Ice God. Besides, it even warmed up the cooled-out city - and eventually decided to pay 300,000 gold coins."

Our achievements are too strong.

As a result, not only the lord who made the request, but also the Adventurer Alliance and leading merchants were involved in determining the reward.

I do not know what discussions have taken place.

But you can't make it less rewarding. In spite of feats that touched anyone's eyes, lower rewards would hinder future adventurers in their efforts.

"I don't mind that, can I pay for it?

Melissa next door asks.

"Exactly, I can't do it right away. So..."

A lord takes a single card and paperwork out of his desk drawer.

"Gradually, I will return it. At the same time, I tried to give preferential treatment when I unloaded material in the Adventurer's Guild here."

The reward is split.

When I unload the material, it increases it more than normal.

He says he'll give us a favor, but he needs us to wholesale the material to give him a favor. They want something special, something even rarer, that we have.

"No problem"

Paperwork - says Melissa, who confirmed the contents of the contract.

Compensation will be paid in the next ten years. However, for the first year it will be small for reconstruction purposes and the remaining amount will be paid evenly in nine years.

If Melissa agrees, there won't be a big problem.

"Thank you. Also feel free to call me if you need anything"

"Exactly, I don't want this to happen that way. Above all, it just made me feel bad about the expense of calling more than S-rank adventurers."

I don't expect that much when it comes to the rewards a lord can offer.

You better have it on hand because you're going to need the money to rebuild.

Still, he said he'd pay me in splits, so I'm conscientious.

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

There's nothing I really want.

"Are you done?

Mr. Louise was waiting when he left the Lords' Hall.

"Are you going to follow me?

"Naturally, Atashi came here mainly."

What we're about to head for is outside Krashel... plus a mountain north of Kansas.

The purpose is to investigate why such a disturbance has occurred.

Mr. Louise's knowledge of living eternal times as a wizard helps in the investigation.

"Besides, I can't go home without you guys."

The north side, which was devastating.

West side leading to Wang Du.

Reconstruction to the south is still untouched.

Even when the streets were covered in snow, she jumped out without even a minimum degree of travel support, and there was no way she could go home, and she had to rely on [the transfer].

"You can follow me, but I don't know if I'm late."

"I was still an adventurer, and I have enough power to run on par with my active life."

I go north where I could hear the elf-like lines that are slow to get old.

Six of us headed north, Mr. Louise, and Master Tishua accompanied us.

"Quiet place for a while."

There were still no people in Kansas who arrived.

Because of the cold outside, I guess I couldn't engage in reconstruction work while being patient to freeze. Besides, there are many blacksmiths in this town due to the proximity of the mines. This disturbance caused the workshop itself to break down, so it should take some time.

Unmanned town so far today.

But it's convenient for us.

"What do you say, Noel?

"I do feel divine from the north"

Noel senses divinity as he meditates his eyes with a cane in his hand.

"... so you're pretty sure"

"'Yeah, the last time my consciousness was normal was in the mountains to the north'... That's what I'm saying"

Get confirmation from the Ice God as well.

It should be noted that now Illis, who has fulfilled his covenant with the Ice God, has given me an interpreter.

However, what bothers me is that the look on the face of Illis, who interprets it, is not excellent. He holds his left arm with his right hand and looks embarrassed.

"Is something wrong?

"Well... when I find out, I'm gonna touch you."

"Ha!?

The God who gave [blessing] to Iris was in excessive godliness and in constant contact with Iris.

I don't know what's going on besides the person.

That's why Illis was trying so hard not to be enlightened.

"I also cautioned you..."

Master Tishua clouds his expression.

Rather, he seems to be at the level of caution and petting.

"Wait a minute! What were you really up to before that...?

"No Comments"

"Huh..."

"So, it's okay! Because we haven't crossed the line!

Bright red in the face and denying it, Illis.

I can imagine doing something that just shouldn't have looked like that. However, it would have stopped, as the person would have said.

"I'm not complaining"

I'm tapping a place where Illis has nothing.

Perhaps there's an ice god out there, but we can't see anything in our eyes, and we can't feel anything.

"Dunmai"

……

There's just one person I know, Noel putting his hand on Illis' shoulder to comfort him.

That was a shock to Iris.

"But you're not gonna let go."

Those who normally gain [protection] cannot, on the contrary, let go of themselves. I have to go out with you for the rest of my life, no matter how much I disgusted [blessed] you were.

But if there's a strong connection, like 'God' and 'Witch', we can also cut it off.

Still, I don't throw away Illis.

"This [protection of the Ice God] goes very well with me. Not very much, but you can't possibly throw it away"

Even if I put up with myself, I can help my people.

It's an Iris-like choice.

"Hey......!

It seems that the ice god, who likes the look of it, is embracing it again, desperately trying to pull it off.

"Show me more than that."

Illis hates it.

Unfortunately, I'm unlikely to be able to honor you like Master Tishua.

"Oh, he said he'd borrow his body for a second..."

Your right hand lifts up against the will of Illis.

I guess I can if I want to resist, but I'm letting myself go because I have no hostility to the ice god I'm borrowing and moving.

"'Open up - it's the way of ice and snow'"

Words spun by borrowing the mouth of Illis.

Snowfields north of Kansas. It can be done by melting a path that stretches in a straight line north about five meters wide.

Further up to the mountain, roads are created along mountain paths from easy climbing places.

"'Let me show you where you have what you want.'"

The investigation goes smoothly thanks to a contract with the Ice God.
