Currently, the emperor and the school principal are resting in the room with a blissful expression. They took a break after lunch and then took a bath. The bath I made was a simple alkaline hot spring with a high concentration of minerals that makes it feel slimy. It seems they liked it.

"Shuri, I heard about the hot spring from Sasha."

"Of course. Hot springs are said to be underground water that sleeps deep underground and is heated by geothermal heat. The 'Detection' magic can be used for hot springs. If you strongly imagine this hot spring and cast magic, you should be able to find its excavation location. Currently, we are devising a way to search for locations and how to excavate them."

"Yeah, this hot spring is a wonderful thing that gives peace of mind to the citizens. We must definitely find it."

Hmm, the hot spring is more popular than expected.

"Prince Keith, can you explore the area around Billbrem?"

"School principal, don't worry. We are prioritizing the capital and Billbrem."

Let's leave the hot spring exploration to Keith. I can't help much with that. Well, now that they have rested, shall we return to the school principal's room?

"Have you already returned? That was a strange space. Princess Finn and Iris are staying in that room. I'm honestly envious."

"Your majesty, I feel the same way."

Now, let's talk about the main topic.

"Emperor, the break is over. What about Suou?"

"Suou? He's a completely foolish son. He made a mistake of misunderstanding power as control and allied himself with evil forces to plot the assassination of me and Keith. Regarding Suou, once we returns to the capital, I will expose and execute everyone who was directly involved with him. The members of his clan will be stripped of their noble status and fall to commoners. Once things calm down, I will formally announce this, including the matter of the Billbrem tournament."

"If that's the case, it's possible that they have already sensed it, so should we transfer some people to the capital as soon as possible? I can lend you my subordinate, Lich."

"That would be helpful. Currently, we don't have a complete grasp of the number of people involved."

I feel sorry for Lich, but let's have him come here.

"Summon Lich."

When I summon Lich and explain the situation:

"I see, understood. Keith, since you are involved up until this point, you'll have to stick with me till the end."

"Thank you, Lich. In that case, let's bring the three knights in the knight order who have been investigating Suou's infiltration for a while now. They should have a rough idea. Your Majesty, we're leaving now. It's better to act fast."

"Very well, Keith, Lich-dono, I'm counting on you."

"As you heard, Lich. Could you handle the clean-up in the Gardean Empire for a while? While you're at it, why don't you train the knight order along with Keith? They're weaker than Keith. If they don't improve, they won't be of any use even if a large number of evil races appear in the capital."

"Even the elite knight order is considered weak by Lich-dono. I can't argue since they couldn't even move in the tournament. I'll leave Keith and the knight order to you."

"Okay, I got it. Leave it to me. Well then, Your Highness, let's get moving immediately."

Saying that, the two of them teleported away. They really move quickly.

"Your Majesty, the current evil race army is much stronger than any that appeared in history. Actually, about 200 evil races appeared in the tournament, and all of them except the boss Barbarin were A-ranked. Although A-ranked evil races were rare in Sphereart, they were all C-ranked or above. With our current strength, we can't stand a chance. That's how much the power of the evil king has increased. As long as we don't have a complete grasp of the whole picture of the masterminds, we can't defeat the evil king. Also, once the evil king is defeated, he will be incorporated into the exclusive resurrection system. I need to go to the management world and eliminate the resurrection system of the evil king. If possible, after I have eliminated the system, I would like you to cooperate with the heroes and defeat the evil king."

"Hmm? Won't Sasha help?"

"In that case, I probably can't help. Because I don't know how much power I will consume in eliminating the system. However, there are currently eleven people who have received my protection. Please cooperate with them."

"I see, understood! Sasha just needs to think about the gods and the system. Leave the lower world to us!"

"Thank you. By the way, did you tell the Elven King in Sylphiel about my situation?"

"Oh, I already sent a message this morning. Elves, like the Sphere religion, worship the goddess Sphere, so it's not surprising. I was amazed to see the usually stoic king show such a big expression. He probably told the High Elf who is the leader of their clan."

So, Burn-san and the others should be able to meet with the High Elves more easily now. I'm curious about the movements of the two High Elves. If they were Sae and Tsutomu, the masterminds, they would surely have detailed information and should be able to deduce my true identity, but I can't predict their actions from there. Even if they're not the masterminds, I can't predict their movements. I'm curious about how the situation will unfold when Burn-san and the others visit.

Well, there's no point in thinking about the elves anymore. In any case, the Gardia Empire should be safe now. Next, let's talk about Ruedenberg.

"Your Majesty, what's happening in Ruedenberg and Altheim now?"

Oh, Finn already asked first. It's natural to be curious about what's happening to your own hometown and your fiancee's hometown.

"Ruedenberg and Altheim, huh..."

Huh, what? Why the silence?

"Uh! Your Majesty, did something happen?"

"No, I don't know about Altheim, but Ruedenberg is peaceful. Nothing has happened."

"That's good. I'm relieved."

Strange. There was a large army of evil tribes in Sphereart, an attack on the Bilbrem tournament, and the major cities of two countries were targeted, so why is it peaceful? There must be evil tribe in the country without a doubt because of the Sophia Alenshar case.

"Sasha also noticed. Yes, it's too peaceful. Since Princess Finn went missing, Ruedenberg conducted a hearing on Sophia Alenshar. Of course, Sophia herself is also a victim. The hearing was conducted carefully so as not to burden Sophia. And they succeeded in discovering and defeating the evil tribe's hideout. The magic tools the thieves had were also developed by the evil tribe. It was probably developed experimentally to disguise themselves as humans or beastmen. I think the magic tool was further improved and used in the Bilbrem invasion this time. Thanks to Keith and Sasha dealing with the evil tribe before they attacked, the outside of the tournament was also peaceful. Oh, I'm getting off-topic. Since the defeat of the evil tribe related to Sophia Alenshar, nothing has happened in Ruedenberg. Everyone is looking forward to the return of Princess Finn now."

"Do you have any information on Alteheim?"

"That's the problem. I sent a few people to investigate Alteheim two months ago, but they haven't been heard from since. It's safe to assume they were killed. Something is definitely happening there."

So they're scheming something in Alteheim. Their defeat in Sphereart and Bilbrem, and the information should have reached the evil tribe in Alteheim. I wonder how they will act. I have the skill of predestination, but it's too dangerous. Even in Bilbrem, I felt a sense of discomfort like a mass theater. Fortunately, it turned out well, but there is a high possibility that my way of thinking could have a negative impact on those around me. Let's consider predestination as a last resort.

"Master, are you going to Redenburg after the investigation of the ruins in the royal capital?"

"Yes, that's right. Depending on the contents of Sphere's message, we may change our plans, but it's likely that we will go to Redenburg unless something significant happens."

"I'm concerned about Alteheim, but first, I'll reassure my father, mother, and everyone in my family."

"I'll also inform about Princess Finn. I'll tell her what happened to Goddess Sphere and that Sasha has become the new Goddess of Spheretaria."

"Do you think it's necessary to tell her?"

"I've already told the King of Sylphiel, so it's important to tell the King and Queen of Redenburg as well. Besides, Redenburg and Alteheim, like Sylphiel and Thermia, greatly worship Goddess Sphere. They may not be saints, but they are in a position to hear the oracle of Goddess Sphere as priestesses. The fact that the oracle has been cut off means that the kings are aware that something has happened to Goddess Sphere. I'll explain everything in advance. When we arrive at the palace, you'll probably be treated with the highest hospitality as rescuers of Princess Finn. Sasha should also strongly realize that she has become the Goddess of this world. Normally, the way I'm talking right now is disrespectful."

Should we not tell Alteheim? Well, it's a reasonable decision.----Realize that you are a goddess.

"Yes, that's right. I don't really feel it yet since it only happened yesterday, but I'll take over after we defeat Saria. I'll make sure to strongly realize that I'm a goddess. But when I'm talking with acquaintances like this, you can speak to me the way you are now."

"Hahaha, okay, got it."

I think we've pretty much finished talking now. Oh, right, the message from Sphere in the ruins of the royal capital.

"We found a Sphere's message in the ruins located in the royal capital, so we'll head to the capital. Shall we teleport there?”

“What, that would be helpful. How many people can be teleported?”

“In my case, any number is fine. Should we also bring the Knights with us?”

“That would be helpful. We can save the trouble of calling the wyverns."

Since we're at it, we should teleport everyone.

"When are we departing for the capital?”

“We have Suou's collaborators here in Bilbrem too, and we are currently interrogating them. It will probably be in two days.”

“Understood. During that time, let's teach the academy's cooks how to make Chinese cuisine.”

“Really, Sasha-sama? Thank you so much!”

“Well, it can't be helped."

"Principal, is tomorrow okay, even if it's sudden?”

“Of course! It's a holiday tomorrow, so there won't be many students. It's just perfect! By the way, Sasha-sama, let's go to the cafeteria after this is over. I need you to check the facilities."

Why is the principal so excited? Is it because of the hot springs effect? The Chinese cuisine effect?

The principal is overjoyed and energetically moving, his skin glowing as if he regained his vitality. He must really like the Chinese cuisine. We arrived at the cafeteria, but the students and cooks were arguing about something.

"What's going on with you guys?”

“Oh, principal, the students missed lunch and asked if we could make something for them. Tomorrow is a holiday, and we hardly have any ingredients left."

Hmm, looking at the students, they seem to be very hungry. We can't make Chinese cuisine without any ingredients, so we have to make do with what we have.

"I'm sorry, my name is Sasha. Can you tell me what ingredients are left?”

“Oh, sure, but there's only about ---- left."

There are too few ingredients left. Perhaps new ingredients will arrive tomorrow because of the holiday. Hmm, I wonder if I can make that. Will they be happy with it? Well, it's better than nothing!

"I can make omelet rice with these ingredients.”

“Omelet rice? What's that?”

“Let's make it. It can be done quickly."

We sauté the necessary ingredients, add rice, season it with ketchup, and wrap it gently with eggs. Oh, I made five servings.

"Here you go, it's done. You guys haven't had lunch yet, right? Eat this."

The three students were trembling for some reason.

"Thank you so much, Sasha-sama! We never thought we could eat homemade food!!!"

Why are even the students addressing Sasha-sama? They're around the same age as me, right?

"Delicious!"

"Well, since they're complimenting it, I won't worry about it."

"What should we do with the last two dishes? Would the chefs like to try them?"

"Yes, please. ...Delicious!"

They're eating it all up so quickly. I do think the omelet rice is tasty, but not enough to wolf it down like that.

Huh? Finn, Iris, and the school principal are all staring at me.

"We'll leave the rest to the chefs. Here's the recipe."

"Onee-sama, won't you cook it for us?"

"Master, I want to try it."

"No! You just had Chinese food earlier. Or do you want to gain weight?"

"Eek!"

What about the school principal? They're discussing with the chefs after finishing their meal. The chefs are finishing their meal so quickly! They're probably talking about tomorrow. Their faces are getting brighter and brighter.

The next day, I taught the chefs all the Chinese dishes I had made so far. The chefs, who had been listening to me seriously, held a Chinese food tasting session for dinner as practice. For some reason, the three students from yesterday were also there. And as expected, mealtime became a battle.
