"One problem here is solved, how about you?" asked the Duke to the Marquess speaking through the magic stone.
"It's done, there are many names of famous social class nobles here, one of them is Miss Verenika from the Count's family" replied the Marquess.
"Hey why am I being arrested like this I will report this heinous thing to my father and punish all of you who touched the Count's favorite son" Vere shouted in a threatening tone.
"Give the crystal to Miss Vere, I have something to ask" said the Duke.
"Very well," said the Marquess as she handed over the crystal.
"Hey listen, I'm here because I'm looking for my brother, I'm afraid if he becomes a slave hiks... I miss him so much that I'm willing to hiks... participate in this illegal activity trust me Mr. Duke, and please help me find my brother who has stopped a year ago" Vere sobbed missing his brother.
"..... "There was no response from Duke as he immediately turned off the magic device.
"Damn... how can I refuse his request if it's like that" Duke said happily.
On the other hand, the Marquess ordered his knights to escort Miss Vere back to the Count's residence.
"Well let's move on, who told you to sell a human at auction hm?" asked Duke angrily.
"I didn't even know there was a human tucked into our merchandise, believe me," replied the frightened host.
"There must be something to talk about or you will die here" Duke threatened the host without hesitation.
"What's the matter Master we don't even know how to activate the barrier portal with the human world, it's said a farmer went through the valley to sell vegetables to the capital, since he found this human he just put him on a cart and sold to us" the host replied clearly.
"Oh... I see, your punishment will be determined by the empire, goodbye" said Duke who was about to leave the prison.
"Ughh... where am I now?" he asked in surprise when he saw the luxurious-looking sky wall.
"You're in my good graces Duke Rich" said Ken, the host, sitting casually beside Elly's bed.
"Rich...No wonder I set foot in a rich man's house Rich" Irely muttered to herself.
"Kruyuuuukk" the rumbling sound of Elly's stomach broke the silence.
"Bhaahaha... You look hungry, man" laughed the Duke as he greeted the starving Elly.
"Come here and I'll entertain you," Ken said,
Along the way, Elly was amazed by the interior design of Duke Rich's residence, which she was not used to seeing in her world. Everything seemed to glitter in her eyes.
"Heiiiii... Apparently he realized why he didn't tell me" Reinhart Marquess Hart grumbled.
"Hey, how are you doing, are you okay? Do you need me to carry you all the way to the banquet hall?" Rei's urgent question was directed at Irely.
"No thank you for your concern umm..." replied Elly who seemed confused about what way she should call Reinhart.
"Hahaha... Just call me Rei, that's my name, remember it well" she said while ruffling Elly's hair.
"Oh my, I'm sorry, I'm in the habit of doing that to my younger brother," she said, looking down in shame.
"You guys seem to hit it off hehehe" Ken muttered,
"Well welcome to the banquet hall, I hope your taste buds match the food here," Ken said as he smiled at Elly.
"Thank you for your concern, sir," Elly said as she sat across from Rei.
"I'm sorry if the food doesn't taste right," Ken said considerately.
"The food here looks luxurious and tastes good how can it not be suitable for the tongue, and anyway I don't know in what way I should respond to it" Elly muttered to herself.
"Eum... it's really good, thank you for the meal" Elly said thankfully.
"asdfghjkl... why use the word eum gosh don't be cute in other places anyway I don't know either of them well" complained Elly inwardly.
"Uhukk... I'm sorry uhk..." Elly choked
"Why all the choking," Elly was embarrassed.
"Are you okay human?" Rei shouted in surprise
"Oh my... Is the food here not to your taste, you're choking on it?" Ken was shocked at Elly's overreaction.
"How embarrassing huft... I just want to disappear," Elly said to herself.

"The latest edition of the newspapers, this time presents a unique thing about the destruction of the Darlack guild and a unique fact about the human that Duke Ken secured in his residence
"Hah... What the hell, isn't this the exact same human who was portrayed yesterday" En hysterical.
"Sttt... Keep your voice down, we'll be the talk of the town if they find out we found the human," Kei said.
"Damn how did it get this complicated it's going to be hard for me to take care of the world tree if this is how it's going to be, I have to do something" Kei muttered.
"So you're going to kidnap her?" asked En.
"Good idea" Kei replied
"So the human is in the Duke's residence, it's interesting that it's been a long time since we visited him, be prepared for our mini mala to be in action." Kei explained.
"Well Mr. Carver I mean Mr. Kei" En nervously replied.
"No problem, let's hurry up before sunset" Kei replied.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the sun began to set and the moon began to reveal its light Kei and En began to act to kidnap Elly from Duke Rich's residence. Wearing black robes and carrying a teleportation sheet, they were ready to kidnap Elly.
"Sir, this way" En said without hesitation showing the way.
"Even though it's been so long since you left the capital you still remember the rooms in your future sister-in-law's residence?" asked Kei in surprise.
"I'm grateful to be able to help you with my memory, so how can I stay by your side if I have no use for it?" En said, clearly recalling his existence and his guild to the master.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the guest room, all preparations were ready, just waiting for the right timing. There were several servants who passed by, which made it difficult for them to move to kidnap Elly. The candlelight began to fade they began to continue the action, slowly they entered the room.
Just as they lifted Elly suddenly Ken was in front of the door of the room. Suddenly this surprised them both, not long after Kei tore a piece of teleport paper, which made them disappear from Duke Rich's residence.
"Mobilize all the guards they must not be far from this residence" Ken shouted angrily.
"Damn I was caught off guard, who are they? How did they get through the heavy guard outside?" Ken grumbled.
-------------------------------------------------------------‘’’’’-------------------------------------------------------
Shinggg... Light filled the bulkhead room far from the empire, the teleport they had used successfully. Raindrops began to fall on the house they were staying in.
"Uh..." Elly was starting to get distracted by the new atmosphere, where she was still being carried by Kei
"Sttt... Get some sleep" said Kei as he laid Elly down on the bed.
"Master, where is the next coordinate point?" En asked while creating a new magic sheet that they would use for teleportation.
"World Tree" Kei replied briefly, as he lit a fire in the fireplace.
"But sir, is this human able to teleport twice at this time, I am worried about his energy, because he has no mana at all, sir?" said En.
"It doesn't matter anyway, we'll leave before dawn," Kei explained.
"Yes, sir..." replied En as he wrote the coordinates on the teleport map.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The morning began to dawn Elly began to wake up again in a place she didn't recognize. En realized Elly was awake and began to explain the reason why Elly was in that shabby house.
"Apparently you're awake, sorry for disturbing your deep sleep" En said apologetically.
"Yes... No problem but where am I now?" Asked Elly in astonishment at the new atmosphere, where each room was partitioned off by a small house building with one bed that was less comfortable to use.
"Don't ask too many questions, En explained why he was here," Kei said.
En began to explain why Elly was in this world, starting from the portal that Elly stepped through and then teleported to the Elf world to the reason why she was at the auction and finally why Elly was kidn*pped from Duke Richen's residence.
"Ah.. so thank you for explaining, so what's our route to the World Tree?" asked Elly excitedly.
"That's right, ma'am" En replied.
"No need to call me like that my name is Irely you can call me Elly, can I eat something here, I'm quite hungry" said Elly suddenly lethargic.
"Gosh sorry, I'm going to make some hot soup right away" said Ken hurriedly into the kitchen.
"Hey... human" Kei called out hesitantly.
"I have a name, call me Elly"
"Well... How do you feel about entering this world, because since yesterday you changed places it must be unfamiliar to you" said Kei.
"Well... Things changed so quickly that first I was in a prisoner who was about to be sold, then to Duke Rich's house, and finally in this hut" Elly said while sitting on a chair
"I'm a bit amazed by all the new things here, everything is still preserved the forests are still lush only in the capital the atmosphere is a bit dense, I like the atmosphere of this place reminds me of my hometown" said Elly rather sadly.
"Looks like you used a new word I heard. What is preserve, atmosphere, and hometown?" asked Kein in surprise.
"Ehh... Preserved means keeping something from being damaged, umm... Atmosphere uh... I don't know how to explain it but the point is that the air here is still maintained, then the hometown is where you were born so, "explained Elly.
"Elly, here's the soup," En said, handing over a bowl of warm soup.
"Thank you," Elly said as she accepted the bowl of warm soup.
"You didn't eat?" asked Elly in surprise.
"You go ahead," Kei replied briefly.
