Dungeon Master Makeup Money

A blonde man dressed in white walks through the corridor of the Merchant's Guild.

Gates Gibson, a man who has been vice president of the Merchant's Guild for several years, was the best candidate for the next president.

Hey, it's Gates.

You idiot! You should call me Gates-san.

"But...."

"Forget what it feels like to be a childhood friend."

Two men whisper at Gates, a young man walking in the corridor of a commercial association (guild).

When I met Mars, he was in his 20s and he was in his late 30s, but he still had the same youthfulness.

The two gossipers began to grow old on their faces.As a merchant, I was able to work in a commercial guild with certain success, but I was forced to work as a layman.

The difference between Gates and me is cloud mud.

"Shit, you're just a little lucky!"

"No, I'm sure you were lucky enough to get a hand, but it doesn't change what you got."

At that time, he was only one of several vice presidents.Even though it was the vice president, the work entrusted to young Gates was mainly handling miscellaneous and troublesome matters.Contact with Mars was only part of the troubleshooting.

But thanks to my trouble, I was able to connect with Mars.

"It seems certain he will be the next chairman."

"Shit, you work for him?"

"There are a lot of old people who care about young people, but they have connections with them."

Walking down the hallway, ignoring the rumors that are equivalent to the stupidity you hear, you reach a reception room.

"Hello."

So 'that man' - Mars was waiting.

Reinforced by becoming the maze lord, Mars' ears captured rumours whispered outside the reception room.

He was jealous of Gates, whose presidency was largely regarded as prestigious.

Sometimes abilities have been evaluated, but it seems that there is a reason for their contribution to the Alliance, which has been payable over the past few years.

When I borrowed money from the Legulas Commercial State to expand the labyrinth, it was Gates, who had a helper, who decided to rely on it.

Looking at the results, I was right to rely on him.He prepared a lot of money in just a few hours.If you were relying on someone else, it's likely that you didn't make it to Zeon's invasion.

However, huge interest was demanded in return.

However, it is tolerated because it cannot be replaced by life.

"You're in a bad mood."

"I thought you were in a mood."

Melissa and I visited the Merchant's Guild and were told to wait in the reception room.

Gates sits on the sofa in front of us drinking tea from the maid.

"You know the situation."

"Hah...."

When I asked, Gates exhaled deliberately.

"If it's true, I think I know the situation better...."

"That's right."

It was originally planned to remain under surveillance.

However, the poisoning forced me to move.

"You hate someone who imitates a fool."

"You really did something stupid."

Some of the watchmen were hired by Gates.

A professional surveillance man knew about Gates and me, but even if he was caught with professional responsibility, he didn't try to give up information at first.At the end of the day, however, I was defeated by Isla's violence and gave her simple information.

Gates is also paying a lot of money to hire a detective, and Gates is supposed to pay for the treatment of injuries he suffers at work.

"I can't tell you who the surveillance client is, so you should let him talk if necessary."

"... let me do that."

You look very tired.

In the first place, Gates put surveillance on us to understand the problems that arose from other people's surveillance.

I didn't think it would lead to such a situation.

Gates was stupid, but it's none of our business.Prioritize the original purpose.

When I slap the floor with my feet, a magical formation appears on the floor.

I would be surprised if the magic team appeared suddenly, but I've seen it several times and Gates, who was tired, wouldn't be surprised.

Several large metal boxes emerged floating from behind the magic formation.

"What is this...?"

Gates murmured as he looked at the five boxes.

"Each contains 100,000 gold coins."

……

The amount itself was something for Gates, who had a lot of big deals.

But I couldn't hide my surprise that the adventurer owned it individually.

"When you first borrowed it, it was 700,000."

I had to pay nearly twice as much when I realized it, even though I kept paying it back properly.

I am convinced because the amount is only large, and if it was other loans, there should have been greater interest.

"I'll pay off all my remaining debts."

"How do I do this...."

That's exactly what I did in the Glenvarga Empire.I'm probably gathering information one by one, but it's only been a few days since then, so I can't help it.

It's unpleasant to think that money was obtained by illegal means.I will explain how I collected a lot of money.

"I see. Did you wind up the money with the treasure you took back from the bandits?"

Gates, the vice president of the Commercial Guild, understood what had happened just by asking a few questions.

"... how much information did you have?"

Melissa sits next to her and asks.

"It's only recently that banditry in the Glenvarga Empire has become more intense.Some merchants have found business opportunities, exported weapons or sent mercenaries… but all their preparation seems to have been in vain. "

It would have been profitable if the bandits were still rioting, but there is no demand even if they arrive now that the disturbances have calmed down.

The merchants didn't expect to get rid of it sooner.It's just that we were able to solve the problem.

"It's a special way, but I'm sure you understand that it's money that you earned by a serious means."

Gates stared stunnedly at the box containing a lot of gold coins.

Not much, but it's not an amount that individuals can easily earn.

"I can't believe I can really give it back...."

"I knew you weren't thinking of being repaid."

As a person lending money, I want to make a profit by paying interest by continuing to lend money.

However, once the full amount has been repaid, no interest will accrue.

"Can I check the contents?"

"I don't mind."

After ringing the bell in the back of the reception room, 10 employees in commercial guild uniforms will appear after a while.

They stopped moving with a lot of gold in front of them, but were told to check the number of gold coins and start counting.

This is not an easy task to complete.Proceed to confirm the contract during the work.

This means I'll pay you back in full.

The problem of debt is cleared up and the load on the shoulders falls.

"Wait...!"

Yeah?

Gates in desperate shape stepped out and stopped.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna stop paying you back."

Adventurers don't have regular income.I didn't know when and how much money I could make, so I made it a contract that I could pay back at any time.

I have no right to say no to Gates.

"I'm not going to refuse to repay you, either.Just... could you wait a little longer? "

"What do you mean?"

"I want you to have a little more connection with me."
