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

Episode Five: Raids in Front of the Border - Before -

Leaving Alistair early in the morning for a few hours to run.

The tent that was camping became visible. A number of tents are solidifying and camping. It can also be described as evidence that those gathered are living in discipline and correctness as directed.

Slow down the run and go close.

"Oh, you're here."

Adventurers who were wary of the other side of the crack in the dimension.

However, it is not only necessary to be vigilant on the other side. We need to be vigilant because demons may attack us from all around us.

If that's the case, we'll be close.

"Long time no see."

"Ooh."

Waiting in the front row was Mr. Blaze, based in Alistair.

He is respected by young people because he specializes in crusading demons attacking neighboring villages.

Given his strength, which was also mediated by the Adventurer Guild in previous site surveys, it is impeccable. However, I can't help but tilt my head if I think I'm so distressed that I'm introduced to a request that I can make money.

"It was helpful of you to introduce me to the site survey because I seemed to need a little money, but I didn't think this would happen. So it really helped that you guys came."

"Is something wrong?

I asked. You're out of sight of me, Mr. Blaze.

I wonder if there were any circumstances. I turn my gaze to his people.

"Is that it?"

I have not seen Mr. Lishua and Mr. Marianne, the party members, and there are only three men in the line.

Mr. Gray sneaks up on me if I thought I was somewhere else.

"You two decided to retire as adventurers."

"Could it be an injury..."

"That's not the point. I'm glad you're both here."

Mr. Lishua was to retire because he was to marry a mechanic in Alistair. While I had been consulting as an alchemist for a long time, I became close and decided to retire after getting married a while ago.

The absence of Mr. Marianne was due to pregnancy.

"Aren't you really happy to talk about it"

Silvia, who had been close to Mr. Marianne, was delighted.

It was Sylvia, whom I had personally met, but I couldn't afford the time lately to be busy visiting the Kingdom of Memphis or taking care of Alf and Sofia when I came back. As a result, it was not possible to keep abreast of recent developments.

"If you can give me some time, will you check on Marianne? He's emotionally unstable these days."

"I'll take care of it"

Sylvia, who is going through the same position, would be able to get in on the consultation.

"So, why is Mr. Blades out of sight of us?

I'm trying not to look at us talking to Mr. Gray.

"This is awkward."

"Awkward"

"The father of a caged child is not Blaze."

"If you were dating something else..."

"Just because it was the same party in childhood doesn't mean we're going out. We got along pretty well, though."

Going far is not uncommon for adventurers. Especially if it is also a high rank, it may also be called from outside the city where it is based, so it will take a long time to travel.

A variety of problems arise at such times.

Especially this time, problems appeared in my life.

"They were just a little bit relieved, but this time they failed to contracept"

"Ahhh."

I see what Mr. Gray is trying to say.

Neither of us meant it, but Mr. Marianne got pregnant within a mild mood. We were both about to end our due age, and it was just the right time to be ready.

However, I am not completely unprepared because it was an abrupt event.

"Don't move, sir."

I comfort Mr. Blaze as he lays his hands on his shoulder, which seems awkward.

"If you have any problems, I'll talk to you."

"Shiatsu..."

I've been wondering if you're really in trouble.

I don't think very much of someone who had a refreshing grin when I became an adventurer.

"I didn't think this was going to happen, so I was worried about money to raise my kids. That's why we were talking about the ruins."

But I was in trouble because I was made to struggle with more difficulty than I expected.

Fortunately, just being vigilant in front of a dimensional rift is not entirely unprofitable because it rewards you.

"Is it time?

Two men have been talking to Mr. Blades.

One is a long man wearing silver gloves on both arms. Purple hair is prickly spread and eyes are held together. I'm trained, but I'm not wasting my muscles on it, I'm shrugging tight flesh.

The other is a man with green hair and glasses. I can expect to be a wizard from having a jeweled cane on the tip and wearing a blue robe.

Two people who specialize in melee and magic combat.

It wraps up an atmosphere where you can fight more than the Blades, and you can peek at something strong.

"It's Ratchet, the S-rank adventurer."

"It's Brian as well."

The two were S-rank adventurers sent by Wang Du.

[Bomber] Ratchet. We specialize in how to fight explosion-based magic combined with flesh-bomb warfare, and even if a hard demon like the Golem was our opponent, we can make him destroy it. Rather, it is his mood that a stiff opponent helps by leaving material behind.

[Phosphorous] Brian. A typical wizard unlike Ratchet, who specializes in the magic of light attributes. But his magic is not weak because he is powerful enough to be an S-rank adventurer.

Wang Du had sent me someone who could fight the Golem because of its emergence.

"Nice to meet you. A Rank Adventurer Malus."

"You don't have to be afraid. I asked you to come here. Though the rank is higher here, the position is higher there. Let's go equal."

"No, you may be powerful, but your adventurer background is senior."

I simply want to respect older people.

Well, there's no reason to honor someone who's prestigious just because he's older.

"Right. Then I'll explain the main points without taking the time to do this"

"We have also participated several times in the investigation of the site. But the Golem, which appears in this ruin as much as I've ever seen before, is powerful. Yesterday, the fighting golem is too powerful considering he is also an advance soldier"

"Oh, did you even show up yesterday?"

"Yes."

According to Mr. Ratchett's story, there was a raid from the other side when the two men dispatched by Wang Capital arrived at the scene and were ready to find out what was going on on on on the other side.

The wary adventurers were also somewhat hesitant because there was no response at all since the first raid.

It was a sudden raid, but thanks to the presence of two S-rank adventurers, I succeeded in repelling without damage.

"But we don't think we fought back on our own merits."

"Perhaps a power reconnaissance was the intended raid."

What did you want to confirm?

Given the timing of the raid, I can tell it's natural.

"It was a raid to gauge the threat of the two new arrivals."

"That's what I'm thinking"

"I question the fact that as many as ten golems were used for power reconnaissance, but I am also concerned that there was no reinforcement where the ten that came out were defeated"

I wasn't seriously going to raid then.

"This is a very troublesome thing"

"Right."

The first troublesome reason is that you have the intelligence to try to extrapolate enemy threats over there. Moreover, if you withdrew just to obtain information, it is likely that you intend to make effective use of it later.

Furthermore, the enemy possesses the ability to detect his arrival while on the other side.

All communications will be blocked across the border. That was the common sense of the ruins, but enemies on the other side have the art of exchanging information.

Anyway, be very vigilant.

"Enemy attack!"

The scream of the adventurer, who was alert to the rift in dimension, blocks Mr. Ratchett's words as he tried to issue a warning.
