Dungeon Master Makeup Money

The next day, he asked his brother, a knight, "to pay his debts directly", which means that when he asked the Count to see him, he said, "I can see him tomorrow".

Normally, you can't meet a nobleman like the Count, whatever the circumstances.

But the neighborhood decided to let me use my brother Conne, a knight.

That day passed within the two days since I moved, I was buying out various things, including necessities, which I had forgotten because of too many things.

So, the second day since I came back from the labyrinth.

Finally, an interview with the Count came true.

The meeting with the nobles meant that we were to prepare a formal outfit. I bought the same size items because I needed to prepare them within yesterday. Sometimes the other party is noble, and all the gear is in the storage ring.

Ring embedded in middle finger of right hand. That was the only piece of equipment I had right now.

When I was sent to the Lords' Hall, my brother, who worked as a knight, appeared to come out and guide me.

"I'm sure you'll be fine, but don't be rude."

"Yes, I'll be careful"

Though I was nervous, it's not so much that I can't speak well with the Count because of the tension.

I've never seen a nobleman before. Of course I'm prepared to talk about what.

"Ready?

"Yes."

My brother leads me into the reception room.

There was already a man in his thirties sitting on the couch in the reception room waiting. A sinister man with long golden hair tied behind him and a warm looking face.

"Let me introduce you. This is Count Keith Allister."

"Nice to meet you, Keith Allister."

After all, he was the Count of the visitor.

"Dear Alistair, thank you for making time available for someone like me today"

"No, let's skip the tough greeting."

The other person used a salutation because it was the Count, but the Count refused it.

But you can't just have a shattered tone on your Count opponent.

"Sit down first"

I sit because I was advised to sit on a couch placed face to face.

"Deal with me as his brother, not as a knight today either,"

"Excuse me."

My brother sits next to me.

So, a maid walks into the reception room and puts tea in front of the three of us.

"Damn, you brothers are serious like your father."

"Do you know my father?

"That was before I succeeded the Count from my father. I wasn't too busy helping my father at the time, so when I was your age, I went directly to the villages on the territory to see what was going on in the village. I'm leaving it to my men now, but there's still a difference between actually checking with your own eyes and listening to reports from your men."

Is it the same kind of thing I used to go hunting away from the village to help soldiers work like my father did?

No, it's rude of the Count to treat you in the same line as that.

"Meet your father, who works seriously at that time. I thought it was okay because I worked out quite a bit as a nobleman, but I've had people help me where I was tangled up in village chimps. That's what happened, and if he was in trouble, he wanted to help."

As such, he admitted to joining the Knights because his brother, his father's child, had sometimes asked for officers. Of course, after conducting the entrance exam, it was decided that there was no problem.

Then a year later, the village chief told me my father had gone missing.

"Damn, you can't be the village chief right now. When I visited, the village chief was someone who could think about the village properly, but that's not how the village chief looks right now."

The head of the village at the time, that is the father of the current head of the village. The current village chief had become a village chief by taking over from the village chief who had died five years earlier. When the Count visited the village, he heard he was an assistant to the village chief.

"Really?

"Yeah, I came here to talk to you about the village money being gone, but from the beginning, your father decided to take the money away. Besides, I don't see how you're worried about him missing at all. They just asked me to lend them to them because I don't have any money in the village."

That's how they decided to lend the Count money against the persistent village chief.

village, an event in a territory ruled by the Count, though. Sometimes, if something unforeseen happened, it would have been the Count's responsibility in the worst case scenario.

"But I was supposed to lend money to the village, and I didn't mean to lend it to you. Because he didn't tell me the person he took away was your father. On the contrary, he said that the 'soldiers of bad reputation among the villages' had taken them away"

I also recall what was written in the borrowing letter.

Indeed, the letter of borrowing contained texts such as' that responsibility extends to the family of the person who ran away with the money ', but no specific name of the person appeared. It's just written like I added later to the last one.

(I mean, we were personally borne by the debts the village made... I'm sorry I signed without being sure, but now I don't care)

It's not that I don't feel like resenting the village chief, but there was nothing like wanting to avenge the village chief, etc., and it really didn't matter.

Now that I had become a labyrinth lord, things to that extent had become trivial.

However, as it is now, there will be no such thing as a village chief returning the money.

Then the Count will be annoyed.

"Deliver this one"

I exchanged twelve gold coins for the superior case I bought within yesterday.

It was just awkward to give it as a leather bag.

"I don't know if you guys need to give this money back. And don't feel like it's more than I lent you."

He gave it to me with the lid open, so he immediately found out what I gave him, including the amount of money.

"No, I would like to pay you back for this amount because it not only annoyed me but also worried me. It can be repaid without any difficulty to my mother or sister thanks to the Count giving me a reprieve for the repayment period. Think of it as a thank you."

"Okay. I'll take your feelings. [M] I just have to check one thing. This money was earned by legitimate means."

"Yes, it's a treasure I got by diving into the labyrinth"

... I'm not lying.

"I'll take your word for it. If the village comes to return the money, I promise to give it back to you."

Drop a case of gold coins by your side.

"By the way, I heard you got hurt in the labyrinth yesterday. The injury... looks okay now. I'm not going home with your brother. I was worried sick about you, so I talked to him in person, and that's the first time I've known what happened in the last few days. It was then that the village chief realized that the missing soldier was your father. If you talk to me...... no, can't you do that"

Given my brother's position, I couldn't have bothered him.

The Count also considered my brother, and he had nothing more to say.

"But are you going to continue to be an adventurer? Sounds like you can fight a lot, and if you want, I can introduce you to my job."

"No, I'm going to continue my adventurer. Because there are some things you have to do."

That's right. Pay back your debts and it's not over.

"What do I have to do?

"Yes, I'd like to find my father."

I'm sorry about your absence, Father.

For the first time a smile returns to my mother and sister with all my family together.

"He apparently thinks a lot, and you should try to act as you think. If you need any help, I can help you."

"Thank you. I'll let you rely on me when I'm in trouble."

After the Lords' Hall.

Now there's nothing like being chased down by debt.

The next step is to find the means to find my father in the Adventurer's Guild.

"In the meantime, let's go home and get some sleep today"

I'm more tired than I expected from talking to the nobles.

Whether we go to the Adventurer Guild or not, we can't go to a place like that with our outfits on, and we shy away because it's expected to be crowded today.

It's a full moon day. There are no adventurers to challenge the labyrinth, and many adventurers are on holiday or have received requests that they can receive in their guild. I don't even need to do anything laborious on a day when such a crowd is expected.
