POV of Haruto Sakuragi:

As I tried to enter Burn-san's room, I felt magic coming from inside. And then, I couldn't hear any sound from the room. Is it "Silent", or is he communicating with someone? Should I wait until the communication is over?

The communication ended after about 15 minutes, just as I was about to knock on the door.

"Haruto, you can come in."

As expected, he knew I was there.

"Excuse me."

Riffia-san was also there.

"Do you want to know who the communication was from?"

Of course.

"Well, I'm curious. Was there any progress?"

"No, unfortunately, there wasn't any."

No progress... that's too bad.

"So, Haruto, what is your business here?"

Oops, I almost forgot.

"Burn-san, do you know about the Evil Heart Medicine and the Caprice Box?"

"I know about the Caprice Box since it's famous, but what is the Evil Heart Medicine?"

In Burn's mind: (Evil Heart Medicine, huh? That must be about Sasha. If I remember correctly, there should be no one in the Thermia Kingdom's capital who has noticed Sasha = Akane Shimizu. )

I explained in detail to Burn-san and Riffia-san about the incident that happened during the kingdom's training, but I didn't mention any names. It could be easily found out, but Saria hates Shimizu, so I feel like she would be suspicious if the name came up.

1.   A female classmate was given the Evil Heart Medicine and transformed from a human into an evil tribe member after being disliked by Saria, who was the voice heard from the Caprice Box.

2.   The girl is currently in hiding somewhere in the Thermia Kingdom with the same appearance as before.

3.   Mika and I know she is still alive, but everyone else thinks she’s dead.

4.   Currently searching for information about the Evil Heart Medicine.

5.   Searching for an item that can change one's race.

"I see. So, you came to ask us if we know about the Evil Heart Medicine or an item that can change one's race?"

"Yes."

"Unfortunately, I've never heard of the evil potion or the race-changing item."

"I'm sorry, Haruto. I don't know either. If there is a possibility of reversing it, we can only ask Saria herself."

"The opponent is a god, but it would be easier to find and beat them up before asking."

If I could do that, I would have done it already.

"I have a question too. Haruto and the others met the goddess when they were first summoned. Was it the goddess Sphere or Saria?"

"It was the goddess Sphere. I myself don't know what Saria looks or sounds like, but Shinya and Yoshihira have heard the voice of Caprice Box. The tone of the voice was completely different from Sphere's."

"Do you remember where you met Sphere?"

"The place? It was a large plain with white surroundings."

Burn-san and Riffia seem to be thinking about something. Is there something there?

"Haruto, if you knew the teleportation magic, could you go to that place now if you were told to?"

In novels, the setting of coordinates and the image are important for teleportation, right? I can strongly imagine that place, but I don't know the coordinates.

"Um, I don't know how teleportation works in this world, but I can imagine it strongly, but I don't know the coordinates."

"That won't work. Setting the coordinates is important to successfully teleport in this world."

"Is there something there?"

"It's simple. We will become stronger than Saria, transfer to the world where Saria is, and defeat her"

Riffia's thoughts: (Although it's actually Sasha who will do that.)

Oi oi, is that why you asked? Certainly, if the goddess Sphere existed, then the goddess Saria should also exist somewhere in that world. huh?

"Can't we go to the person the spirit was talking about?"

"That person doesn't know how to get there because that person is not a God yest. I was just wondering if any of you knew how to get there."

I see. It is certainly possible to go to that world as long as we know the coordinates.

"Do you not know the king of the Sylphiel Kingdom?"

gulp

How unusual, Riffia seems scared?

"Well, we have no choice but to ask the king and those above him. Riffia, give up!"

Are there people above the king?

"Well, whatever. The four high elves founded the Sylphiel Kingdom. Two of them died in the Evil King's war 500 years ago, but the remaining two are still alive and watching over us. The lifespan of an elf is about 400 years, and that of a high elf is about 2000 years. If we ask them, they might know something. However..."

The lifespan of high elves is amazing. If they live that long, they might know the way to the world where gods live. However, Riffia has been looking extremely gloomy since earlier.

"Riffia, don't you want to meet them that much?"

"Hehehe, only three people have met the two high elves: the maid who takes care of them and the king and queen. And even the king and queen can only meet them once every few decades. They are such revered beings that it is impossible to meet them normally! So it is definitely impossible to have an audience with them!"

Riffia's eyes are lifeless. It must be quite a pressure for her.

"Well, if it was just a normal Evil King's resealing, we wouldn't be able to meet, but this time the situation is different. There's some kind of abnormality happening in the God's world. The High Elves should know something. I'll definitely get it out of them."

"Burn-san, you're making a face that says 'I'll force it out of them'."

"Absolutely not, Burn! The heroes will be fine, but the two of us will definitely be sentenced to death!"

I can't believe gentle Riffia is this angry. I'll have to explain it properly to Mika later.

"Haruto, if you have an audience with the High Elves, make sure to show respect! Especially Shinya!"

I've been warned. I'll have to be firm with Shinya. He had a previous conviction for a death sentence due to his Demon King remarks during his summoning, so it's really dangerous.

"Understood. I'll make sure to tell everyone firmly."

After finishing my conversation with Burn-san, I returned to my room. I wonder if Burn-san and Riffia-san also don't know about the Evil Heart medicine and race change items. The only hope is the High Elves. We have no choice but to rely on them. Oops, it seems like Shinya and Yoshiteru woke up from the sound of the door.

"Sorry for waking you up. Hey, what's going on? You seem to be thinking about something."

I've been pointed out by Shinya. At this point, should I tell them about the earlier conversation? Of course, I'll leave out the part about Shimizu.

"I was talking with Burn-san about our future plans."

1.   The place where we met the goddess Sphere was in the God's world, and we need to know the coordinates to go there.

2.   We need to have an audience with High Elves who are above the king to explain the current situation and obtain the coordinates of the God's world.

3.   These two High Elves are people who even the king can only meet once every few decades, and are worshipped by all Elves. If they get upset, Burn-san and Riffia-san will be executed immediately.

I conveyed these three points to Shinya and Yoshiteru.

"Shinya, be careful. You're the one most likely to mess something up.”

“Yoshiteru, I won't make such a mistake again. I wouldn't want my master to be executed."

"Please be really careful. After this, I'll also tell Mika and Yumi the same thing. Meeting with the High Elves is our top priority. We also need to keep an eye on the Evil Tribe's movements. A big war broke out in Sphereart and the Evil Tribe suffered a major defeat. They won't stay quiet after this."

"I feel like something's going to happen even in the Sylphiel Kingdom here."
