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

Iris asked me to summon him, so I summoned him nearby under [Summon)].

"Is this the cave?

The current location is the cave where the Titans were evacuated.

In the back, the sleeping giants lie down, but they don't seem to wake up, so they're left alone.

"Yes, it is."

Everyone but England is here.

In the first place, I asked for "Titan Investigation."

It was the Titans who attacked the people.

Children who were free to leave the Rior Valley came into contact with people out of curiosity.

However, since the Titans look like monsters, it is possible that the guards were intrigued. The first impression of a child is important. It may have been attacked by humans that made them think it was dangerous and fearful.

However, there is no way to check what happened now.

There is no point in continuing to argue here.

"I know who the giants were attacking and why they turned into the Titans."

However, the cause is unknown.

I don't think magical anomalies like that will happen, but I can't rest assured if I don't find out the exact cause.

So I decided to start the investigation.

Well, me and Noel didn't help at all.

Sylvia and Melissa were the main investigators.

Eira and Noel were two escorts who concentrated on the investigation. The disappearance of the Titans increased the number of monsters. When attacked, we need someone to deal with.

It's coming out right now.

Just as a lizard monster of human size was born in the shadow of the rock in the cave, I was watching as I tried to prey on it, so I shot a magical arrow and took it down.

"I didn't say I wasn't coming out."

There are only a few monsters.

According to the story, by eating the flesh of the monster born like this, the Titans were distracted from their hunger.

"It's not very delicious."

"It wasn't a luxury I could say."

Walk deep into the cave with your hands on the sleeping giants.

"This way."

Melissa leads into a hole in the ceiling.

"You didn't open it?

"Yes"

Magic doesn't make it hard to drill a hole in a wall of soil.

Besides, Melissa's magic technique can even make a passageway.

"What if it collapses?"

"I'm doing a good calculation, so I'm fine."

"... that's not the problem."

Follow Melissa to the inside of the wall. The passage continues with the ceiling and walls paved. However, there are a number of places that are twisting and turning along the way to the destination.

We should have arrived just near the big entrance to the cave.

What bones?

At the end of Melissa's excavated path, only a fraction of the human bones and thoughts were buried exposed from the ground.

However, it is not an ordinary human bone.

"Titan bones, right?

I don't know where the bone is at first glance, but just one bone is as big as a human. There is no doubt that it is a fairly large giant tribe.

Some of the Titans who lived in the cave died.

The bones of such a person. That's what I decided, but Melissa's point of view was completely different.

"At first, I thought I was the bone of the deceased too. Anyway, I heard you threw away your bones properly."

Even with a strong body, the Titans were ordinary people.

A dead giant, but if left alone, it will rot. That's why it's hard work to dig holes enough to bury giants, so they couldn't bury them without tools.

After all, it was used as bait for monsters who were starving into the valley.

The surviving Titans hunt where they were raised.

The bones were crushed and brought back to the monster. The monster may have been buried because we don't know where it was taken back.

"Sylvia, how many bones do you have?

"Can I have the size that I feel?

"Of course."

Then there's a giant tribe buried 10 meters long.

This time, the largest of the Titans was about eight meters.

Slightly more than the longest giant of all.

"What you see here is really part of it."

"Could it be the bones of the old Titans?

There were Titans before, and since they died, the documents from the investigation were left, so I was able to get to the answer of the Titans.

Yes, that's right.

Heh, it was already there.

"That's not true."

He looked at the bones with admiration and denied the words he had spoken.

"What do you mean?

"Try to remember. The Rior Valley was investigated by the then lord 400 years ago. You couldn't have found such a big bone at that time."

"Because this is the inside of the wall."

It is difficult for ordinary people to investigate to the inside of the wall.

Strong enough to withstand a giant blow anyway.

"It was so easy when I dug in the first place."

"... what do you want to say?

"It was as if someone had shredded the walls and put the bones of the Titans behind them and then covered them with dirt and blocked them."

Broken enough to bury the Titan bones.

It is a very dangerous task and cannot be carried out overnight. But if you've been working on it for days, someone's gonna find it. However, such a report was not in the Adventurer Guild's files, and it would be strange if it hadn't been rumored.

"And I can't say for sure because I'm not an expert, but it's like a bone that was reproduced a few years ago."

A man who can do enough work to bury the bones of the Titans in a short time without being found by anyone.

Who can prepare bones that should have been lost.

"Lord of the Labyrinth."

Not us, of course.

Only one person who has done such a thing in the last few years knows.

"Zeon."

"Yes"

Melissa nodded at my whisper.
