Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)
Episode 24: The Value of Bullets - After
Young adventurers exploring mining fields. The labyrinth was so painstakingly reached the mining field that it could be said that it was a beginner.
Why did he have something he wanted to get?
Mithrill. A metal, also known as magic silver, with a strong affinity for magic.
I knew the boy's thoughts from his own words until he got here.
"Oh, that reminds me of when I first came to the labyrinth."
I think I miss the labyrinth nucleus.
At the bottom of the labyrinth, Sylvia and Noel were trying to ask the labyrinth nucleus about the time in such a way as to be intrigued.
Illis and Melissa are leaving messages today. Until halfway through, Ira was with me to check on the labyrinth, but sometime after yesterday, I went out to the wilderness to practice my gun. Well, there's no danger while you're in the labyrinth, so it's okay to be left alone.
So, what are you going to do as someone who was in the same position?
I don't want to be dependent.
However, a little service would forgive me.
"You need a misrill to treat the illness that your mother has bothered you with."
What the boy needs is enough to get on his fingertips.
Still, to get a rare misrill, a boy living in a peripheral village will need more money than he can handle.
I used to deal with demons as a hunter's son when I was in the village and my status is high. Therefore, when he arrived at Alistair and qualified as an Adventurer, he decided to head to the Labyrinth to collect his own Mithrill.
So I took nearly a month to reach the 21st floor underground.
"Let's keep the chest in place."
Place the crate buried in the boy's direction of travel.
Crate with just a little lid popping out of the ground. Believe me, a careful boy will notice.
The boy rushed over when he reached the position where he could see the chest as expected.
What's inside is a shard of Mithril. It's not like it's available for weapons used by high-ranking adventurers just when they get this level of misrills. Still enough to cure the mother's illness.
"Good......"
A boy exhaling in relief.
It seems that the problem can be solved and this one can be relieved.
"But can I give you a misrill easily?
"That's okay. If that's the amount, it's less magic than that kid got thanks to his exploration the past month. If you'll just mind this and explore it a little bit, you'll feel like you're making some money."
Really critical money making.
I couldn't move on because the powerful boss on the way made me struggle, and I got more than I expected thanks to the fact that he encouraged the demon to level up against me.
"All you have to do is bring back Mithril... hmm?
"This is not good."
"Is something wrong?
Me and Labyrinth Nucleus, the Labyrinth Lord, have noticed, but Noel doesn't know what we care about.
I gave instructions to the demon to stay away from the boy, but there was someone who ignored these instructions.
"You're not... you're approaching me because you're following my orders faithfully"
Instructions were given to the demon on the 21st basement floor.
But technically, it wasn't a labyrinth demon.
"What, a golem?
Golem is approaching the boy.
The golems placed on each level of the mine field are instructed to circle the hierarchy and attack the adventurer. However, it was intended to be a threat without imitation that would defeat the adventurer.
The boy shouts in front of a bigger golem than himself.
"... Huh!
I feel like I'm about to drop a misrill from my hand because of the scratch. Soon I remember my purpose and when I switch consciousness, I squeeze the misrill hard.
"Oh my...!
A boy knocks his weapon on the golem.
"Ho......!
However, the moment it hit Golem's body, the bamboo broke from half.
"Have you increased your intensity a little too much"
"What do you do......!?
The golem reaches out to the boy.
Seeing that sight, Noel grabs my collar less of an upset and rocks me nuts.
"No, I'll help you."
All we have to do is order the Golem to stop the interception.
"That golem was built with the power of the labyrinth. It may seem like any other golem or demon, but the chain of command is subtly different. '
Thanks to this, I had not received instructions to the Golem not to put my hands on the boy.
"... hmm?
His eyes weren't giving up when I checked on the boy where he was released from Noel.
Remove the weapon from the nostalgia.
"Gun?"
"When..."
What the boy was holding was a handgun.
"That said, you were getting something out of the chest right after you reached the 21st floor."
I was so conscious of Mithril that I didn't care about the gun I got along the way.
The boy who puts up a gun to the Golem.
Its eyes and hands are directed at the chest of the Golem, with six bullets hitting it precisely.
"Oh no...!
But the golem didn't have one scratch on it and it was bounced off.
"You're a good worker."
I want to commend you for your courage in facing the Golem.
When I looked at the footage again to give instructions to leave, I captured the reaction of someone approaching the boy besides the golem.
Imagine only a moment of danger.
However, he immediately finds out that he is the person to loosen his guard.
"Mr. Nathan."
Then Mr. Grey arrived late.
I knew the two of you and Mr. Gilderts had been exploring the labyrinth since yesterday. I just made sure I arrived at the labyrinth on the first day, and then I hadn't made sure how far I was going, but in three days I'd already reached the 21st floor underground.
"Are you all right?
"Oh, yes."
"Gray."
"Leave it to me!"
Mr. Grey, with the big shield in his hand, comes forward and takes Golem's hand.
Mr. Gray's body is slightly pushed back. But when I endure it with all my strength, I can't even move with Pickle.
"Good luck with that."
"But to me..."
"When you run, you better run. If you have enemies stronger than yourself, it's better."
"Ah..."
The boy did not escape.
That's because we decided that the metastatic crystal was on the other side of the golem to get back to the ground, and because it wasn't so far away, we needed to take down the golem or avoid scratching it.
I honestly had to detour from running in the opposite direction, but I could go back. Now Mr. Nathan and the others rushed from opposite directions to the Golem.
"Hey, Nathan!
Mr. Gray is withstanding the attack of the Golem.
I can't afford to turn to counter-attack just because I'm enduring it. If you're just following a pre-set order, you've succeeded in posing a threat where you blew it off, and you should start retreating. If attacked, it may turn to counterattack, but it will be possible to escape.
But Mr. Grey, who doesn't know such a setting, was thinking of taking him down.
"Well, what do we do?
I'm just curious about Mr. Gilderts' absence, but I'm curious about how Mr. Nathan can get through this situation.
"You, it..."
"Oh, is this it?
Mr. Nathan's eyes are directed to the gun that shot up the bullet the boy has.
"It's the gun I just got. But this didn't seem to work for the golem, so I hit him in the chest and he played it."
"That's a bad way to use it."
Mr. Nathan puts his favorite gun down in his hand.
The aim is Golem's left chest, just like the boy.
"It does seem more powerful because it's bigger than the gun I used..."
"Powerful? It's third-rate inside relying on that stuff. What you will need most to handle a gun is the skill to accurately shoot through the opponent's steeple. If you're after the Golem, it's a demon stone."
The location of the Golem's demonic stone is the left chest, just like human beings.
Not only Mr. Nathan, but the boy also understood the location of the demon stone, so he's targeting his chest.
"If the aim is even accurate, the enemy will fall at will."
No matter how hard the body of the golem is, the Demon Stone can shoot through it with a bullet.
A bullet fires from Mr. Nathan's gun. The bullet that was shot at the left side of the golem gets bounced off the left chest when it hits the side.
"Ah..."
The boy is shocked that he didn't hit it.
But in the next moment, you'll be surprised to see the Golem collapse after losing his life.
"Apparently it's over."
Mr. Gray also de-alerts.
It was a bullet that seemed off the steeple, but it was shooting through the demon stone properly.
"How the hell..."
"Shooting directly from the front just inhibits you by a hard body and gets bounced. That's why I shot through places that never got bounced off."
"Where..."
Boy leaning his neck in doubt.
Nathan, who approached the golem, invites him to tell the boy to see it too.
"Ah......!
Mr. Nathan put the bullet through the junction of his arm.
"Golem is made by combining parts such as arms, feet, and torso. There's a slight cavity in the area that connects them. It's a narrow gap where you can't even put a human arm through it, but you can do enough to put a bullet through it."
But if you aim for that gap, the Golem interrupts you.
So I shot him aiming to bounce aside.
"This golem is similar to the one we fought on 'Ruins' we went to a while ago. I knew what angle to shoot and how to bounce back. Thanks to you I was able to shoot through the demon stone, that's why...... what's up?
I noticed the boy looking with a sparkling eye as he gave an explanation.
"That was so cool! Tell me how to use a gun."
"... I'm sorry, but I can't afford to do that right now"
Mr. Nathan bounces off a boy who volunteers as an apprentice.
"Oooh."
There, Mr. Gilderts, who was all the way behind me, rendezvoused.
Mr. Gilderts has a backpack filled with ore on his back. We have been doing chores ourselves for a long time, but the reduction in the number of people has increased the burden on us.
"Well, if that's how chores work, I'll do it! So make it your apprentice!
"... Whatever you want"
I could not refuse a boy who pleaded with me to cling to him, and I was to accept a disciple.
