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

The means to expand the labyrinth is not just to bring in treasures from the outside. It can also be obtained by erasing demons and traps that are in the labyrinth.

We can't let Zeon and the others know what we're doing. Fortunately, we had prioritized moving forward, so we didn't give a shit about the hierarchy we passed, so we erased it to match our strategy.

Thanks to this, the upper echelons had no traps without demons, just places where meadows and mountains were spreading.

You need magic to restore the labyrinth to its original state.

"Yes."

"Then you need to screw up the money for it."

When I answered the Alliance Master question, I held my head and began to worry.

"That's pointless."

Get paid to set up the environment.

It is mostly a burning stone with water and the like.

"Mars, you already have measures in place."

"Yes. Fortunately, I have a souvenir for Zeon's placement"

Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to think about what happened after I defeated Zeon, so I didn't leave any room.

However, there were unexpected items left behind.

"It's enemy equipment."

Equipment such as Zeon's sword, Killier's gauntlet, Onet fans and rings, and Charles's divine bow had been left in the labyrinth.

Exactly, the book of TUAL disappeared with her because it was created with skill, so it doesn't stay on hand.

The most helpful was Luce's Devil's Sword. I have disposed of many of them along the way, and I got a dozen demon swords for them if I even included fragments that had been crushed.

You can't get magic from labyrinth lords and family members, but it's not like they can't [convert magic] the equipment they have.

"I will try to operate only up to the 40th floor underground for a while, saving magic"

"Exactly the same as before, but it doesn't make sense."

Illis will take over my explanation.

"For example?"

"Until now, it was easier for beginners to acquire treasures in cave fields up to the tenth basement floor. But this makes it harder to find. Let me also reduce the value of the treasures that I get even more"

"... can't help it,"

Initially beginner measures to bring a little more people into the labyrinth.

If people don't visit me, they come to hinder the operation of the labyrinth, but it is the supply of food and ore that must be allowed to take precedence over it.

"Anyway, be proactive in making requests from guilders so that people don't interrupt and adventurers visit. So I'm going to circulate it somehow."

Large quantities of vegetables and meat obtained in meadow fields.

Ore obtained in the mining field.

Demon Stone you get in Volcano Field.

Plants obtained in alpine fields.

Seafood obtained in marine fields.

They are all indispensable resources in running Alistair.

Life on the periphery breaks down the moment we interrupt this.

"But isn't that too little you guys got?

"I'm not."

Activate the [World] while answering Master Keith's questions.

When I get up from sitting on the couch, I move next to Mr. Rooty and place my hand with a pong over her shoulder.

I'm stunned to find out what Illis is up to in the office that can move other than me.

"Bad taste"

"This is as good as it gets."

Time moves.

"Ah, fuck...... Yikes!?

Mr. Rooty jumps in surprise when he realizes his hand is placed on his shoulder at some point.

It was a little unexpected to be surprised so far. I thought a regular calm and deposited Mr. Rooty would respond appropriately and pay attention, but I didn't think he'd be surprised like a girl.

"Mr. Mars...?

I'll fix it and stare at it somehow.

It was Mr. Rooty's best resistance.

"I'm sorry."

But anyway, Master Keith seems to have told the Alliance Master that I did something unusual.

"... what did you do?

"I'll keep watching."

Make time stop again.

You don't move with your face to me. When you move behind the Alliance Master, you move your time and pound your shoulders.

"Become...!?

He didn't even look away from me for a moment.

Still, someone - I know it's totally me - punches me in the shoulder and moves my body backwards.

"If you're in such a hurry, it's dangerous."

The protruding index finger hits the cheek of the turned guild master.

He's an guild master who exposes his dumb face for being poked in the cheek, but it's not funny to watch his old man's dumb face. I'm just gonna let go of my finger.

"This is the reward."

"... a skill that can stop time?

"Correct."

Again, let the time stop and sit on the couch.

"Do you really have to stop time?

"He demonstrated it in front of me, so I just have to believe it."

"But..."

"Don't get me wrong because I never traveled fast enough to go unnoticed"

If you were a high-ranking adventurer when you were active, you left enough power to spot the Moving Moments and the Stopped Moments.

However, even with the motion vision of the Alliance Master, it was not possible to discern the preliminary motion.

Of course. There's no way we can recognize the preliminary motion because it's been running since we stopped time.

"It's not even as bullshit a skill as you think it is."

I tried everything outside the labyrinth and found out, but the only time I could activate my skills was when it was aimed at a closed space like a room.

Moreover, there is a time limit, which varies depending on the size of the closed space. It was possible to stop for up to nine seconds in the office of the Alliance Master, which was built just to spread the word a little. However, you can say that it is too powerful to wait just a few seconds before you can use your skills again.

"I was also able to get special skills. I'm going to be in debt on this one, but if you borrowed money from people, it's common sense to pay it back. You may have a little time, but I will definitely pay you back."

"I'm not worried there. You guys shouldn't want to leave Alistair, and you have a family, so it should be hard to get far. Just take your time and give it back to me."

"Thank you"

I really appreciate you saying that.

The Alistair family wasn't the only ones who owed me money, so I almost wanted a respite if I could put it behind me.
