Dungeon Master Makeup Money

Lesson 23: Marie's insistence

After finishing his revenge, his days of leisurely comfort began.

I can't go back to the city I was in earlier. If we go back, we'll definitely get into trouble.

You might want to look for my hometown. I don't even know where it is, but I remember exactly how the village was. If you're traveling, you might get there.

I found a girl in trouble in the village I stopped by when I was traveling like that.

The girl was stunned sitting on a bench in the village square.

"What's wrong with you?

"... what about you?

"I was just a traveler and I walked by. I talked to you because you seem to be in trouble, were you interrupting?

"It's not like that."

The girl spoke a little bit about her situation.

I ran a small tool shop in the village, but one day in the village a rough adventurer came and changed the situation. Sometimes when I started to base my village I started to look big because I had strength. Sometimes we eat and drink without money, and sexual harassment of women is the norm.

But I can't kick you out because you're annoyed.

A tool shop girl was attacked where all the villagers were in trouble.

"You're like an enemy to a woman."

"It is. I wish I could have lived alone in the village because I could be poor..."

"It's okay. Leave it to me."

Prepare what you need.

Fortunately, the preparation of what was needed was easily completed thanks to the acquisition of the skills of [mock-up] within the forgery of the nobility contract to embed the former bandits who were the opponents of revenge.

Later, just use the equally acquired [negotiation] and [fraud] skills to fit adventurers who work violence.

"Brother, can I have a word?

"What?

The opponent also negotiates for where he drinks in a liquor store and gets in a good mood.

He is also losing his thinking thanks to drinking.

"I need to talk to you about a little money making, would you like to ride?

"Hmm..."

Place a map on the table where the adventurer begins to be interested.

"What's this map?

"This is a map of the site found nearby and a map to reach the site. If you don't mind, I'll give you two gold coins."

"... what are you going to do?

"It's a map I got for three gold coins too when I was in another city, but it's my strength. Just explore the first one of the ruins to the fullest. Only a few treasures have been acquired by me. I talked to him because if he seemed to have more strength than me, he would buy it off. But the nearest village has no high-ranking adventurers, so I spoke to you."

"What demons were there in the ruins"

"All I explored was goblins. Nevertheless, I can't win if I'm the one with the goblins in the herd. It feels like you managed to survive because you only have the ability to explore."

"... okay"

The drunken adventurer buys it away.

The more powerful an idiot is, the more he eats at the immediate profits.

"That's all right with the example adventurer."

"I know there's a ruin behind the woods a little further from the village, but where is it going to be okay?

Report to the tool shop girl on the square bench the same way we met.

Speaking of what I did, I just sold the map to the adventurer.

Nothing has been solved if you come home to serve your purpose.

Yes, if I can come back...

"It's a map I sold out, but the map inside the ruins is utterly fake. Until we get to the ruins, the map is real on the way, but that's where we can get there safely, and when we realize it, it's a nest of powerful demons."

Besides, it confirms that there is a famous basilisk for its ferocity.

When I believe the map and move on, I'm inside the basilisk territory.

"I did teach them not to go into the woods because basilisks come out when they ask me about this neighborhood..."

"You taught me from good intentions. And there's no way any other villagers can teach that to an outlaw adventurer."

So I went to the woods without knowing that the basilisk would appear.

"If you're safe, you should be back in three days. But if you look at where you're not coming back even today..."

I'm sorry I'm not safe.

"But can I do this?

What I did tricked the adventurer into leading him to a dangerous place.

It's harmful to adventurers.

"I don't mind. Adventurers are self-responsible when it comes to themselves. Believe me, if you step into a danger zone, it's your will."

Plus a once-in-a-lifetime contact in a small village.

There is nothing in a small village that could be blamed by the Adventurer Alliance to turn into a major incident.

"Thank you. Now you can feel safe."

Maybe it cleared my mind a little.

Fewer victims are as exposed to irrational violence as I am.

"I wish I could thank you for something..."

"Fine. Because I have this."

Two gold coins obtained by selling a fake map.

I can't forgive you for asking for rewards just for cheating from a village that was poor and threatened by adventurers.

After that, when I found someone who was still struggling with irrational violence, I tricked the other person into falling into a predicament.

If they use violence, this one's a scam.

I kept my legs off while I rolled over the city and village.

Life was tough like that, but what I do is resented by them.

If I am rebelled and raided, I will be quickly subdued and humiliated before they kill me for my lack of combat ability.

I don't want to end up like that.

So I was wary that no one was tracking me.

"... ah"

"Hey, long time no see."

But I can't help but get ahead of them.

The other guy is a former bandit who took my family.

"Because of you, we got into debt and scattered eyes"

"It was your will that bought the Mithrill gear. You broke your guild upside down against me because your predisposition was bad"

"You said you were bandits about us."

"Is that it?

It's an indisputable fact for me.

"We washed our feet years ago."

"You think just because you went from being a bandit to an adventurer, all the sins of the past were forgiven? If you really want to wash your feet, do enough to ask forgiveness by lowering your head to all the victims. You haven't even done that. You're still criminals to our victims."

I'm done saying everything I want to say.

After that, I just pound my heart with a knife I was sneaking in my nostrils to avoid a miserable end...

"We'll find out about that!

One of the former bandits comes beating me up.

Many have witnessed that.

For the people of the city, it just seems like a man is attacking an irresistible woman.

This really brings the former bandits to an end.

"Oh, that...?

I'm frightened in case of violence, but I won't be beaten for long.

When I opened my eyes, the former bandits had been beaten by adventurers dressed in black armor.

"I know you're the ones being chased by the Alliance for debt. If you're going to get caught, you're not going to hurt."

"What!?

A former bandit is pulling out his weapon.

"Determine willingness to resist when you pull out your weapon"

An adventurer who beats and suppresses a bumpy opponent who I thought was totally unrivaled.

"What, that?

What the hell have I been?

The person who was waging irrational violence is succumbing to irrational violence.

"Never mind. Because that's Master Rio."

"What about you?

"I am Katrea, Master Rio's partner. I also hear about your circumstances. We were able to ambush them on the run from the Alliance."

Rio party was chasing a former bandit who escaped debt bitterness at the request of the Alliance.

Having thought of purpose in pursuing the footsteps of the former bandits, I thought they would go for revenge on me for embedding themselves. Even former bandits couldn't possibly be able to follow my footsteps to a party with more intelligence-gathering ability than me.

Some of the sights were attacking me, and the sins of the former bandits increased.

"I'm listening to your circumstances. Sounds like you're fooling idiots like these guys all over the place."

"... yes"

Rio has repressed himself even though he has party members.

"I'm doing such a dangerous thing. There are quite a few circumstances, and you're fooling me when you're ready. But this won't last forever. If you have a decent bargaining power, you'd better help with business or something."

"I can't do that. Nobody hires troublemakers like me."

Sometimes if you calm your hips down somewhere, they attack you with reverse resentment, like this one.

Then you'll be bothered by the people you hired.

I've started this, and I'll have to be alone forever.

Then I'll protect you.

"Huh...?

"I'm saying it's my responsibility to protect you. I have a large number of people, but there were not enough members at my party to negotiate. So if you want to help me with my bargaining skills, I'm hiring you."

I didn't know why.

Putting troublemakers like me aside equals no profit.

I was laughing at the blonde couscous when I was confused.

"I'm sorry. I'm saying this, but Master Rio is someone who has nowhere to go and can't leave people in need."

"Hey!"

"It helps to have someone to negotiate with, even with me. Why don't you come with me if you don't have something to go to?

"I'm going!

It was a quick answer.

I've always been alone. I've been looking for someone to stay with.

That's why you welcomed me, Rio... and decided to be one of them.

"No, you're welcome to have more ex-con buddies even for me. We're going to get along."

"What about you?

"Me? I'm Pina. I was a survivor of the bandits that were destroyed, and now I'm a Rio woman."

"Huh?"

From then on, I had adventures with my strangely familiar Pina and companions, and challenged them to the labyrinth.

If I noticed, I had attacked the labyrinth and became a member of the Labyrinth family.

I have no regrets.

I even got a new [future observation] what a skill.

I vowed to use my skills for Rio, who welcomed me in.

And as someone who holds the position of emperor, he is small... and makes him win to fulfill too small a wish.
