Dungeon Master Makeup Money

Episode 42: Debt of the Labyrinth Lord ①

Mr. Rooty puts tea in front of all of us.

However, usually I was supposed to leave the room, but I stood with the tray next to the Alliance Master.

"... I'm sorry, but we're going to talk confidentially. Will you do your job downstairs?

"That's not why"

Mr. Rooty turns down the Alliance Master's request kickingly.

"I'm in charge of them"

"The rest of the story goes beyond what the receptionist can know. Just because you're in charge doesn't mean you should know."

"But now the Adventurer Guild is extremely confusing. Someone needs to know what's going on."

"That's me..."

"The Alliance Master also has serious support from the field. But you don't like to give detailed instructions to officials, do you? Someone should know the exact information in the field as well. Then I'll decide I'm the deputy guild master."

"Oh, you got promoted"

Mr. Rooty, who was sometime a deputy guild master.

If it was Mr. Ganash's job to wrap up the adventurer as the face of the Alliance, it would be Mr. Rooty's job to wrap up the Alliance's staff supporting the adventurer.

"... yes. I got promoted."

I gave the word with the intention of celebrating, but it got dark all at once.

Normally, promotion should be a pleasure.

"Mars. A promotion leaves your marriage far behind"

"Oh, you know what?"

Illis tells me not to find out by reading.

If you get promoted, you'll be so busy that you can earn money.

That makes it harder to have private time, and men consign themselves to a situation where Mr. Rooty is making more money, which reduces their approach.

Alistair has a lot of people who can make more money than Mr. Rooty, who's been promoted, but it's hard for Mr. Rooty, who's busy with his Adventurer Guild duties, to catch those people.

'... hmm?

I could see Mr. Rooty staring at me with a sharp gaze if I felt his gaze and turned his face.

"... that's okay. I've already decided to marry my job."

I couldn't have heard the readings, but it was a mouthful that I was aware of what kind of interaction had taken place with Illis.

"Mars, I know you can communicate without exchanging words with your people."

"Did you notice?"

"How many years do you think I'm in charge?"

It's been a long time since I became an adventurer.

That's all Mr. Rooty is getting older, so...

"Mr. Mars?

"No, nothing"

If you stare sharply, you have to shut up.

It is strictly forbidden to talk to women about their age.

"Anyway, Mars, I realize you guys possess special abilities. And we also realize that it comes from the labyrinth lord"

I just couldn't help but react to that word.

"So how many years do you think you've been in charge? I'm the only one who's getting all sorts of things in the labyrinth. It's beyond the level that you can clean up in one word of 'strong' anymore. Except for me, I don't seem to have come to a conclusion, but I predicted, Mars, that you were the current administrator."

"... from now on, we'll act with care."

I'm not going to stop it though.

If you're that familiar with the situation, you should explain the current situation to Mr. Routie in order to get his support.

"First, I'll explain what happened from yesterday"

Zeon has attacked the Alistair Labyrinth.

As a result of discussions with his peers, he made a decision to extend the Alistair Labyrinth to its limits.

However, magic is needed to expand, but it takes time to prepare large quantities. So what I chose as a means was to [convert magic] the treasure.

"Melissa and I ran off to get our treasure while we were up there buying time for the boss demon."

"So that's why the demons I've never seen reported since yesterday are raging."

Mr. Rooty had his head when he knew what was going on.

Because it was a well-controlled event, but we can't keep the situation public.

"Thanks to our cooperation, we have succeeded in defeating our enemies. Don't worry there."

"That's good. Let's start by celebrating our safety."

Report that you have defeated Zeon.

That is also because when I had just returned from the Illukite Labyrinth, I knew everything because I had communicated what was going on beforehand.

"Thank you so much for all your help."

"No, it's a restless story about losing the fate of a city to someone who doesn't know the details."

There was a powerful man named Zeon who promised me that he would spare no effort in teaching me that he was plotting to seize the Alistair Labyrinth.

The reason you cooperated is in Zeon's behavior.

Zeon disposes of the Illukite Labyrinth that he managed. At that time, I don't know what thoughts I had about the Ill Kite Labyrinth. Still, the fact that you are a labyrinth lord but have used and abandoned the labyrinth you manage remains unchanged.

Alistair is made up because there is a labyrinth.

Whatever the circumstances, there is no way the lord can make the decision to leave control to a person who would dispose of the labyrinth.

But it is the Labyrinth Lord who is outside the Lord's authority. All Keith could do was work with me to get him to manage the same thing as before.

"I don't care if you guys manage my debt..."

"That's no good"

Funding is what I needed to expand the labyrinth once and for all.

The power of the labyrinth, which can convert the value that gold coins hold into magic as it is, was used to make them expand.

However, the assets I have were not overwhelmingly enough, so I decided to rely on someone I knew to obtain gold coins.

Master Keith took good care of me.

"I just provided unused items that were in the warehouse of my mansion. You don't have to worry about that much."

"That's not why. It also included works of art of high value. We kept it just in case, didn't we?

"Yes..."

The Alistair family has been managing the border for hundreds of years. Original righteous house.

Many of the treasures that my ancestors had accumulated were asleep because they suddenly did not know what was going to happen on the border.

"This will be the pledge"

Take the pre-prepared pledge out of the storage ring and give it to them.

…… Are you serious about this!?

The pledge is to repay 200,000 gold coins.

That's all they gave me, so I have to pay them back.

"You can't acknowledge this pledge. I only cooperated because if the person you were hostile to started managing the labyrinth, it would have been unpredictable. This is obviously too much."

"I'm not."

More magic than ever was needed to make the expansion ahead of the basement 91st floor.

So it really helped that you offered me treasure.

"But imposing such a burden on Lord Chris's son..."

Master Keith was helped by my father when he was young.

He has done so much good to me and my brother, who are my sons, because I can no longer repay my father.

But you can't give all this away.

"It's a promise to my father. If you get a favor from someone, be sure to be someone you can return it to. This is my reward."

I regret that it can only be resolved with money, but I decided that it would be appropriate to give the equivalent of something of value because I gave up my treasure.

"... is it addressed to you to repay?

As I gave up, Master Keith asked.

If it's not addressed to me, I think I'm going to have no yew anyway.

"This is the Labyrinth Lord. It'll take a while, but it's always possible to pay it back."

Income is guaranteed as long as you are a labyrinth owner.

Besides, it's not hard to make a lot of money if you take on a dangerous request as an adventurer.

"I guess so. You guys should be able to make some money in a few years, even if it doesn't seem possible."

A former adventurer, the Alliance Master has fully understood the circumstances around it.

I just need to see what I can do with the labyrinth.

"Yeah, you're right."

Mr. Rooty has a report coming up from an adventurer.

Mr. Routie should be more familiar with the information on the labyrinth from a general point of view.
