On July 9, at 4:00 p.m. Kunlun Island time, all the participants in the World Conference were present.

From the Kingdom of Egelea, Prime Minister Boyd Noyce Galuelli, Minister of Magic Kelihidole.

As his escort, Bruno Thales Bright, the second-in-command of the Kingsguard. And Lyanna and Kate of the "Royal Secret Maids", the royal court ladies-in-waiting, are to serve as escorts and take care of personal needs.

In addition, there are two male and two female servants.

From the Kingdom of Celuloa is the king, Cesar Valois de Celuloa. And the Director General of the First Technical Agency of Latant. They are escorted by SSR Kirk Atwood and two others.

And two servants, a man and a woman.

From the Kingdom of Franz are King Lothar de Lafayette, Vizier Ardaluc de Heigl, and SS-General Khalid Fanfard and two other men.

As in the other kingdoms, there are two male and two female servants.

The Kingdom of Klein is represented by Prince Arthur the Second and Prime Minister Powell Darner Hudson. The guards were Gloria Allstadt, vice-captain of the female knights of the Kingsguard, and one other.

They were also accompanied by two servants, one male and one female.

By the way.

"......"

Jin was surprised to find a familiar face among the servants of the Kingdom of Egelea.

"...... Your Highness."

"Jin, long time no see!"

Among the members of the Egelea Kingdom was the 3rd Prince Ernest.

"Thank you, Jin-sama, for all the help you have given me.

One of the female servants was Lila Soluse, a former member of the Royal Secret Servants of the Royal Court.

Then Elsa arrived with a girl.

"Brother Jin!"

"Erza, what's up ...... with Rhys?

"<

It was Rieschen, the third princess of the Kingdom of Klein.

"I see, so you two are attending the meeting as observers rather than participants?"

Yes. That's what we're talking about.

Jin was unaware of this, but it was agreed among the countries that the number of direct participants in the meeting would be two, and no other particulars were stipulated.

So, as observers, the 3rd Prince Ernest from the Kingdom of Egelea and the 3rd Princess Rieschen from the Kingdom of Klein came to the meeting.

The other countries are said to be waiting to see what will happen.

If this conference is successful, the number of such observers is likely to increase from the next conference onward.

Although he has not yet met Ernst, the candidate for the next emperor of the Shoro Kingdom, Jin wished that such a leader of the next generation would attend the conference.

I hope such a leader of the next generation will join us.

Let me show you around.

Jin and Elsa lead the group.

"Oh, this building!

"This is a wonderful work of art!"

I've never seen this style before!

The garden imitates and even exceeds nature.

Their reactions to the Jade Pavilion and Wujinggak were as expected.

And here comes the deus ex machina that the old man and I had discussed.

Brown hair, brown eyes. It is a < with a mediocre facial structure. Of course, it is not Jin but the old man who is in control.

"Welcome, everyone. Some of you are new here. My name is Machina. My name is deus ex machina.

At this point, Jin wanted to emphasize once again that he and Machina were different people.

Since there is no concept of , or in this world, no one would find this name strange or meaningful.

"Oh, Lord Machina!"

Gloria shouted.

Gloria's face was a little flush as she faced Makina, who had saved her life on several occasions.

"Thank you for everything," she said.

I can't thank you enough for the many times you have saved my life.

"I can't thank you enough for all the help you have given me," she said.

The leaders of each country have said to him, "I can't thank you enough for all the help you have given us.

They all know what he is capable of.

"I will ensure the safety of this world congress.

Makina said in front of everyone and pointed to Lando's group.

"These golems are under my command. I believe their power has been proven. You can rest assured.

The members of the Kingdom of Egelea, who had previously received assistance when they were attacked by the Unifilers, recalled that time.

"I will fully cooperate with Jin, who shares my master. I hope that this will be a success.

Makina then withdrew.

This brought relief to the leaders of the nations.

"Well, I guess when the master is the same, the resulting golem will be just like him.

Only one person, the third prince Ernest, had a slightly different impression.

* * * * *

The dinner was held with the representatives of each country in one place, but at separate tables.

And the menu was the standard, local dishes of each country.

"Oh, oh?　This may taste even better than the royal cooks!"

"I agree with you, brother."

The prince and princess of the Kingdom of Klein looked on in astonishment,

"Yes, indeed. This is the taste of a court cook and beyond.

King Cerroa agrees.

That's because all of these dishes have been studied by the Quintas who have been dispatched to various countries.

The dishes are the result of the efforts of the Peridos, who have taken the dishes of the royal castle and refined them to make them even more refined.

The only common ingredient is the after-dinner dessert: ripe persica.

The fruit is in season, but the one from Penglai Island is not on the same level as the one commonly available in the market.

"This is ......!"

"You won't want to eat regular persica anymore."

The taste is superb, but it is also rich in free magic element (ether), so it can be imbued with a weak restorative magic, and although it is not a restorative, it is effective in relieving fatigue.

"Your stomach seems to be feeling better somehow."

Hence, it is also effective for stomach upsets and overeating.

The last drink of the day is a specialty of each country.

The Kingdom of Klein offers Perhia tea, the Kingdom of Elias offers Cuhe. The Kingdom of Egelea is Teaye, and the Kingdom of Shoro is green tea.

The Kingdom of Franz and the Kingdom of Cerroa is Tehye as well as Egelea.

"No, I've had a wonderful time, <>."

"Indeed."

"It was delicious."

Jin was relieved to hear that everyone was satisfied.

The next day, the World Congress would finally begin.
