Chapter 63 There’s No Point in Worrying About It
「Well then, Jink-san, if there is another opportunity, please let us have a meal with you again.」
After eating not only the orc general’s meat dishes, but also the soup and desserts, the members of <Elder Tree> entered the boss room with happy faces.
As he was leaving Luke-san said, 「Jink-san’s party is also attracting attention from the two major clans, so please be careful. Well, I think even they would not launch a surprise attack on an enchanter」.
Hearing the warning, our expressions were gloomy….
「Considering the other parties, there’s no point in worrying about it…. Let’s continue leveling. We got to know the troublesome things in advance, so let’s just think that it was worth serving them food.」
「Yes. If we do not know anything about them beforehand, there is a high chance that we would be at a disadvantage when they approached us.」
In our case, we can earn more than enough on our own, so there’s no reason to join a clan with dangerous rumors.
That’s why I don’t want to get involved with the two major clans as much as possible, but I guess it’s impossible since even Luke-san went out of his way to warn me….
After that, we continued to hunt in the orc room and the boss room… and we leveled up nicely.

What is noteworthy this time is that <Presence Detection 1> has been added to my skills.
My aptitude for Presence Detection is E.
I didn’t have high expectations for it since it was below average, but… actually, even before the memories of my previous life came back, I was able to vaguely read the actions of enemies from their atmosphere.
I took command while watching the surroundings during the leveling in the monster room, so maybe the skill appeared because of that.
Everyone will be able to use <Presence Detection> if I use enchantment, so having this skill would be of great significance.
Ian and Nina also have increased the level of their skills steadily… and their HP has also increased, ensuring a sufficient safety margin.
We have enough stock of Orc General’s meat, so we plan to explore the lower floors next time.
「The regular exam for the Quall Royal Academy will start soon, so we’ll return to the capital first. Ian, Nina, you didn’t get enough rest during the exploration, so I’ll give you days off while I take the exam. …… As soon as the exam is over, we’ll return to the labyrinth city and begin a full-scale exploration!」
「Yes! I’m looking forward to the holidays~ ♪. I got a lot of pocket money, so I’ll go shopping~」
「It is important to return to the capital to manage the mansion and money, as well as to keep in touch with influential people….」
Nina is looking forward to her time off, and Ian has his punishment waiting at the capital… it’s amusing to see the difference in their expressions.
Ian-kun, if you make that kind of face….
「We also want to take a break, right, Momisa? It’s been a while since I’ve had a date with a hot guy~」
「Yes, Angie. After enjoying shopping and dinner, the two of us will… you know…」
You’re smart, so you should learn already that you’ll be teased by the two aunts who like to tease you if you make that face….
When we get home, Ian probably will be teased by all the maids except Nina….
RIP….
After selling the materials we didn’t need at the guild and Lorentz Company and telling them that we would return to the capital for a while, we rented a hippogriff carriage and went to the capital without any escort.
Since I’ve reached temporary B rank, I’m able to go around freely on the roads near the capital, where only weak monsters appeared, without any escort.
Mona-san tried to make me hire escorts this time as well, but she gave up after the guild master scolded her, telling her not to waste human resources and money.
I’m sorry Mona-san, but I’m glad the guild master did that.
「Jink-kun, welcome back~! I’ve been waiting for you!」
Chris greeted me when I headed to Count Brand’s mansion to tell them I’m back.
「I’m back, Chris. …… Aren’t you look tired?」
「Well… many things happened. …… Listen, Jink-kun. While you were in the labyrinth city, a large bomb came in….」
I wonder what’s wrong with him….
「You see… it seems that you were the illegitimate son of King Rosalta. I heard that there was a lot of commotion related to you… and your younger brother and nanny fled here from Rosalta as slaves….」
Eh…?
Younger brother and nanny… is he talking about Esther and Elsa!?
