Dungeon Master Makeup Money

Mr. Routie even taught me that there was a place in this forest where there was a lot of dewgrass growing at night, but he hadn't told me about the places he knew more about.

Because information about these places is also a valuable asset to adventurers, it was not easy to tell them about places they know more about as adventurers' guilds.

"I thought it would be easier to find..."

Even regular F-rank adventurers thought it would be less challenging because they had heard that they might visit.

But I can't find it after searching for nearly an hour.

"I guess there really is, isn't there?

The unfamiliar environment of the forest makes me anxious. That made me talk to myself a lot.

I have no choice.

"Labyrinth Magic: Crate (Treasure Box)"

A treasure chest appears in front of you.

Inside were white flowering plants - nocturnal dewgrass.

"This is an easy win and you can accomplish the request, because it's obviously a deficit."

The request told me to bring ten rooms.

But only one room was inside the crate.

I'm not trying to solve all the problems with the chest either. Instead of that, I just realized that if it was dewgrass at night, it was growing a lot on the eleventh floor of the basement. Well, I'll try my best in this forest even in the sense of trying labyrinth magic, so I decided not to care.

"Labyrinth magic: olfactory exploration"

A sharp demon with an olfactory sense among demons in the labyrinth. Magic that can temporarily elevate your sense of smell by borrowing their sense of smell.

Look for a smell similar to the night dewgrass that emerged from the crate with this magic.

"Right this way."

The effect was exerted, and if I walked for a few minutes I could see a clear spring, with a number of night dewgrass growing right around the corner.

"I was a little nervous about borrowing the smell of demons, but apparently you've successfully activated your olfactory exploration as well"

Collecting the nocturnal dewgrass puts it in the storage ring.

Now the request has been accomplished.

In the meantime, I remember a place with a fountain, trying to get back to the city of Alistair.

"Hmm?"

I can hear the ground.

It's the sound of giant animals and demons walking.

Eventually, it was a single bear-shaped demon who showed up. Even so, the bears are exceptionally small and only slightly over two meters smaller than the bears that appeared on the sixth basement floor to defeat the Boaz.

Still fangs on sharp nails, bodies bigger than humans are releasing a sense of intimidation by the time they are overwhelming.

But...

"Just how far you can fight with this status"

Run out to the bear ignoring such intimidation and such. A bear waves her arm and tries to pierce her nails, but when she slaps her hand, she gets bounced off and flashes. I try to stab a knife in the chest into that gap, but the bear's thick fat inhibits me and the knife stabs me only slightly.

In the meantime I've been waving my other arm, so I let go of my knife and back off.

The bear understood that he was highly intelligent, that I had let go of my weapon, and he was raising his mouth to look at me and laugh. All I see is a vicious smile because I was seeing fangs at that time.

"Come on, what are you doing?

Raise your right hand forward to gain magic.

"Labyrinth Magic: Fireball (Fireball)"

Fireballs appear in front of your hands when you activate magic.

"Oh, I'm out!

I thought I was going to leave, but I was unintentionally impressed when I saw the sight that really came out.

I was powerful as a man, too, and I used to admire flashy fire magic. But I gave up when it turned out that the attribute that suited me was a dirt attribute that only had a plain way of attacking.

But with labyrinth magic, I was able to use all attribute magic with the help of demons who were good at magic inside the labyrinth.

But where we are now is in the woods.

If you throw a fireball like this and it comes off, it could ignite the forest.

When you bend over your feet, you jump toward the bear. The bear wasn't following me at all, and it was the first time he had noticed me in front of him. But it's too late at this distance.

"At this distance, you won't have to take it off."

Beating the fireball against the bear's face, it burned the bear's face and was heavily blown away by the explosion.

The bear was trying to extinguish the fire on his face by rolling down the ground stuffy with pain, but within minutes he couldn't stand it and became immobile.

"I don't know how strong it was, but selling meat would be quite a price"

Remove the demon stone from the heart part and touch the bear's body in an attempt to recover the material but the storage ring does not start.

"Hmm, what's up?

I noticed it when I saw the size of the bear.

"Well, was the size the limit"

Give up collecting in the storage ring when you know the limits of the storage ring.

Immediately activate the toolbox (item box) and a magic formation will appear, one meter square box will appear. It's not a very entrance for a bear's body to fit in, but when you take the bear's body nearby, it's delivered into the toolbox to disappear softly.

Now I can bring it back...

"This is not for sale."

If I were to sell it, they would ask me how I brought it back.

It was going to be very troublesome.

In the meantime, when we ate ourselves, we decided to sell the broken meat and go back to the city of Alistair.

"Welcome back. You were fast enough. Could the request have failed"

Mr. Rooty asks for a return sooner than expected.

(That's what I knew.)

It takes two hours one way, which means four round-trip hours.

He thought that even the first forest to be visited at the destination, the first harvest, would not end in an hour or two. It was hard to find if she didn't know where because the herd of dewgrass she knew was also in an inconspicuous place at night.

I left before noon. It's too early to come back in the evening to accomplish the request, which is expected to take six hours from there...... but it's going too well. In fact, he was back over an hour ago, so he was snooping around the outhouse and killing time.

"I've accomplished my request properly."

"Now please put the recovered material and the night dewgrass on the counter. By the way, I'll ask you, the amount you bring is the amount you ride on the counter, right?"

"Yeah, I didn't bring that much."

Except for the bear...

For now, there were five slime demon stones on the requisition form above the counter, so I also got five slime demon stones from hunting on the way home. Set aside ten rooms of dewgrass at night.

"It's really what you asked for. Here's your reward."

It was Mr. Rooty who went to the back with demonic stones and night dew grass in the cage that was inside the counter, but came right back to the counter with the money.

The reward is two large silver coins.

"Thank you. It's just... it's a slime I knocked down along the way, but you were weak."

"Really? Mars, given your status, I thought it would be tough to take down five of them alone."

Well, you didn't have 1% of your current status when you signed up for Adventurer.

"I want to go home with this today"

The Adventurer Alliance gets busy with the adventurers who are going to finish their requests like I did.

"See you tomorrow."

"Yes, I'll be waiting for you"

After finishing all my business today, I was visiting the office of the greatest guild chief in the Adventurers Guild.

"It's Rooty. Would you like some time?

"Oh, fine."

A middle-aged man who seems nice to people invites me in.

He also said that he would already be inferior to the full season with his retired adventurer, but by the time he was full season he had climbed to A-rank and was strong enough not to take a pull if he was still a D-ranked adventurer opponent.

What we receptionists report to such opponents is about the adventurers they care about.

"Actually, I wanted to make a report because I've been curious about an adventurer named Mars I'm in charge of."

"In the meantime, you're the adventurer whose mother and sister came and made a scene. I heard you were back safely, but there was something wrong with you."

"Nothing like a problem. Today, at my first request, I was asked to head to the Forest of Examples with night dewgrass collection and slime crusades."

Example Forest - As the guild is recommending it as a place where night dewgrass is growing, the guild leader immediately thought of where it is.

"Yeah. That's a newbie request. Demand is always there because the night dewgrass is commonly used as a medicinal herb, and the slime is a demon that seems to be increasing at some point. So, even if it failed, I wonder if he came back."

"No, the request was successfully completed. Time also left in the morning and returned before evening."

"You're excellent. I don't know where the problem is."

"You can't clean it up with the word excellence. He didn't look tired at all when he came home. Then I let him look at his status when I signed up for Adventurer, but even the highest number, his health, was only 40."

"What?"

The guild leader was surprised to hear the figures.

The average F-rank adventurer should have had a hundred, and at 40 it's hard to come home, and it's normal to be exhausted even if you come home.

It's normal for a runaway adventurer not to reach a hundred, but such adventurers go on crusades and picks with adventurers who have become adventurers in the same place and become friends while receiving G-rank requests. Normally, it wasn't the kind of place to go alone. Looks like I could have come back from the labyrinth, too, but I recommended it in an attempt to teach him how tough it was out there.

"Did he even use the carriage?

"No, he's a boy who was in debt until recently. It would be normal to think about saving a little. If you use a carriage, it's a deficit."

"So, as a receptionist, what do you care about him?

"I still don't think it's my status when I signed up. I did have a few days, but in a few days, it's not quite that steep a stat increase either. So the status was raised in some way in the labyrinth where it was missing. Or they got the gear to lift it."

When I got back, Mars, your gear was turning into something completely different.

At that time, I assumed it wasn't a big deal, but that's crazy. I don't think substitutes like those that appear in the labyrinth are equivalent to cheap equipment, etc.

"Dangerous people, not that I think, but I think you should observe them as cautious people"

"Yeah. I'm leaving that area to the receptionist, so you should try it at your discretion. If you said you cared as a former adventurer, that would be the only basis"

"Thank you. Now if you'll excuse me."

I don't think he's a bad kid.

I came all the way to the Adventurer Guild worrying about myself. The way I treated my family was kind.

But there's definitely something about it.
