====================================
Back in the safe zone, we had lunch and some rest.
I was sleeping after lunch because I ran out of MP.
Ike was also running low on MP, but in Ike's case, it takes six hours to recover to full MP so he went straight to rest with Zeke and Maria.
And when I woke up, we would go back to the spring room.
This time Ike can't use granting(enchantment) so I thought I had to work very hard.
But a happy miscalculation happened.
Ike seemed to have leveled up on the way and can fight 1 vs 2 or even 3 without granting element.
Then I leveled up and I could cut the goblin general armorless parts even without concentrating my magic power.
Here's one thing that surprised me.
If you defeat 20 goblin generals within 30 minutes, the treasure chest always re-pops.
The magic beasts come out of the black vortex magic pool and the treasure chests come out of the white vortex magic pool.
However, all the re-popped treasure chests had a value of 1 and their contents were potions or iron ingots.
I don't know how many we defeated in the end but we had to go home because we couldn't hold any more magic stones.
Well, my MP was just about to be depleted so it was just nice as well.
When we came back from the dungeon, it seemed that the inhabitants of the town were worried about us, and they all called out to us, looking relieved.
“I'm glad you're safe and sound. We were worried about you.”
“If you don't mind, please tell us about the labyrinth sometime later.”
I wondered why everyone was in awe but then I remembered that Zeke had been promoted to a baron.
Then we arrived home.
The loot was plentiful.
First of all, we all went to see Leena, who was adored by the members of Azure Fang.
Yup. It's no exaggeration to say that we return back for this.
Zeke gave some of the loot to the members of the Azure Fang. It's all the potions and some iron ingots from the treasure chest.
It is said that there are very few users of holy magic in this world so the potions are very expensive. The Azure Fang people were very happy.
And when the Azure Fang members left, we took a bath and ate dinner.
We were tired so we decided to go to bed today and have the family meeting tomorrow.
Tomorrow we will rest and Azure Fang will be going to the labyrinth in the morning.
I appraised myself before I depleted my MP.

Name: Ike Bryant

I appraised Ike in his sleep.
His level had gone up by two...
His spearmanship was also at level 4.
Isn't Ike the strongest of the Bryant family?
I think I'm strong against small fry but I don't think I'm ready for strong enemies.
A family meeting was held the next day.
As a result of the meeting, it was decided that I and Ike would level up in the spring room for a while and that the golden treasure sword would be kept at home temporarily. And that Ike and I will go to school when I turn 10.
In this world, it seems that you have to go to school from the age of 10 to 13. Of course, it wasn't compulsory but we decided to go because it would give us more options for the future.
Fortunately, the Bryant family has a large number of magic stones. Just this fetches quite the amount of money apparently.
Hunting goblin generals was ultimately only for me and Ike's level up, not for money…right? I think so...
Well, I want Leena to have an easier time so let's do our best.
And the day after the family meeting, the goblin general hunting began in earnest.
First, we brought in a lot of preserved food and recovery medicine in case of emergency to the safe zone.
Ike and I would hunt goblin generals most of the time.
Zeke and Maria were thinning out the magic beasts on the second floor while we hunt goblin generals. In short, they were killing the magic beasts between the second and third floors.
But they are both sorcerers and don't have as much MP as I do so they fight carefully.
And as for the spring room, a large number of goblin general's magic stones were piled up.
The labyrinth absorbs the corpses, which is a good thing, but if this had been outside, it would have been a nightmare.
After four treasure chests came out, I went back and had a meal, then depleted my MP and went to bed repeatedly.
And this time, Ike was also depleted of MP. When we are sleeping in the safe zone, Zeke and Maria will come back.
If I wake up first, I and Zeke will go to the spring room.
To be honest, this was the hardest time. It's tough but it was also a very good experience. I would deploy the Wind Cloak (Sylphid) with the Wind Dagger (Sylph Dagger) in my right hand and then attack with the Wind Cutter with the Wind Dagger (Sylph Dagger) in my left. Siege only helped me in a pinch so I basically stood at the entrance of the room and deal with 20 goblin generals.
Here I also made another discovery. If you defeat 20 goblin generals alone within 30 minutes, a treasure chest will appear with a value of 2.
Silver ingots and advanced potions also appeared occasionally, which was a tasty surprise.
However, you often cannot defeat them within 30 minutes if you fight alone and the battle couldn’t continue for an hour.
This was because the Wind Cloak(Sylphid) consumes a lot of MP.
When we go back to the safe room, Zeke took out the enemies and I just followed him.
When I wake up after depleting my MP, this time I go to the spring room with Ike again.
This routine continued for more than half a year.
And after more than half a year, I and Ike are now five and eight years old.
