Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)
Lesson 4: Urban Reconstruction
I had received various requests from Rio over the past five years.
Sometimes they suspected that was the S-rank adventurer belonging to the Glenvarga Empire.
However, he remains an A-rank adventurer who is still officially based in Alistair.
Payment from the emperor is fine. The rewards thus obtained are used to repay debts from the Regulus commercial country. As long as we get time, we can have funds for Rio, and we're less of a struggling demon.
With the cooperation of Rio, we are able to live in peace.
"So, what showed up this time?
The Gardis Empire, where the labyrinth has been unthinkable in the past.
Sometimes it's beyond the reach of a normal adventurer because demons that aren't supposed to be there have also become settled.
"I think I told you, we started moving to Monston this spring,"
Military city of Monston.
A city closest to where the border was, a military city built in anticipation of a war with the Glenvarga Empire. It was decided to use it to repair the original exterior wall from its purpose because it had been built sturdy.
But it's very difficult to rebuild a city in the Gardis Empire today. Anyway, the city is about to be attacked by a slightly gazed gap because it is a place where demons will soon strike.
For this reason, we managed to regain its previous form last year by mobilizing a large number of those who constantly monitor and defend themselves outside the city.
All the costs of rebuilding were covered by the treasures left over from the Gardis Empire.
Those who have taken refuge in the Plains of Oneiros are still forced to live in poverty on the plains. The most desirable wish for them is to regain their previous lives. Even if we can only reclaim the city, we can't reclaim it to our previous lives. Still, it would be a step into the future.
It was visible to struggle in a city that had just been rebuilt. That is why emigration was to take place by recruiting those who wished to.
"Thanks to more people than I expected, the reconstruction work itself went well."
Life on the Oneiros Plains was centered on life in a simple cabin, sometimes after time.
Those who knew their former lives endured it for five years.
He longed to be able to live in solid indoors, albeit with all the buildings that were decaying in tears.
"The problem occurred about half a month after the start of the migration"
Until now, the goal had been to rebuild the city, but if Monston had come to function as a city, he also needed to know what was going on around him.
"I got a look at how things have changed around Monston, mainly the adventurers who used to work in the Gardis Empire."
The ecosystem is completely different from before due to the overflow of demons.
"The adventurer never came home."
Multiple search teams were immediately formed.
But neither did that search party return 30%.
- There are dangerous demons.
The lord, who is entrusted with Monston's rule because soldiers, including adventurers and knights, will not return, asked the Emperor, Rio, for rescue.
Nevertheless, Rio himself does not move. The highest ranked adventurer held by the Glenvarga Empire was dispatched through the Adventurer Alliance.
"I sent an S-rank adventurer with excellent detection skills."
He seems to have special skills, and he is an adventurer who is good at finding crates and shipwrecks, so I could say he is a hit and put on this request.
"I can't believe the person didn't come home either..."
"No, we're back to Monston."
I feel relieved to be able to keep my face as an S-rank adventurer.
"Except he seemed worn out."
He had bruises all over his body and was injured about as much where his blood made him red.
It's not as life-threatening as it sounds, but you'll need a few weeks of rest to get back on the scene.
Still, as an S-rank adventurer, I had the information back with me.
"If you have a simple combat ability, albeit superior in detection, you have more than a B-rank adventurer. He's no match for a giant like that."
"A giant? You mean an orga or a cyclops?
Among the demons are giant-shaped demons that look like people. It has the strength commensurate with its body, and even if it is just beaten, it can be fatally injured, but it is a dangerous demon who sometimes looks close to a person and holds a weapon.
Rio shakes his neck sideways to Noel's question.
When I heard about the S-rank adventurer's failure to make a request, I asked Sonia to move Rio to Monston as well. So I asked the S-rank adventurer who was being treated to imagine the sight I saw magically and decided to bring it back as a phantom.
"The problematic location is a valley about ten kilometers west of Monston."
In the valley, precious herbs could be harvested whether they were from that special environment, making Monston-based adventurers a valuable source of income from the absence of demons.
A place where even ordinary people can make money if they can travel to and from the valley.
I wasn't even on alert because they knew it was a safe place.
A map of the Gardis Empire is magically projected into the air.
The position seems to have been remembered by Melissa and Illis, so I don't have to worry about getting lost.
"So, this is the giant in question"
A giant encountered by an S-rank adventurer is projected next to the map.
Certainly not like giant demons like Auga and Cyclops.
"Humans, aren't they?
The projected figure had a human face on the same skin tone body as a human and the hair of something that was bossy - the person you only think of as a human being.
Above all, the decisive difference with demons is wearing clothes. It's as simple as connecting cloth together, but sometimes it looks like a human being and it just looks like cloth.
"It may be hard to tell if it's a phantom, but this seems to have been more than three times the size of a human being"
"3x......!?
Human being six meters long.
That, indeed, may be difficult to acknowledge as human.
"This time, I'd like to ask you to go to this place and investigate the giant."
"Okay."
I can't live in peace because there was such a dangerous demon near the city that I had just rebuilt.
The story of the giants has not yet been told to those who started their lives in Monston. However, rumors have spread that there are adventurers who could not return, and they live with anxiety.
This doesn't take much time. You should also start acting tomorrow.
I decided to gather more information locally - in Monston.
Some of them must be missing while they're communicating, as they would have arrived at Rio's.
I've been talking about work, so when I looked at the kids, Guardill, you were on the floor and you were down.
Guardil, the only one on your side is your young sister.
The other siblings were participating in Isla's instructional swordsmanship training, apparently admiring the victorious Sierra.
The eldest son who is also abandoned by his siblings.
Seeing him like that, he couldn't have been there.
"Sorry."
"No, I don't mind. You've defeated him just fine."
The only salvation is that I know [Future Observation (Futurevision)] won't frustrate your heart, Guardil.
"Well, I'll leave the kids, then. After you."
It's not sneaky to take him home because he's having fun.
Today, when I return to Alistair, I will need to prepare the consumables in preparation for the request, but I am prepared for the minimum from time to time, so I can do enough by myself.
Ask the women to take care of them and go back to the mansion alone.
