Jin asked Reinhard, a former diplomat, to accompany him on his trip to Mitsuho.

"Reinhard, please."

"Okay, give me a day. I have to finish my work."

"Yes, I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow, so please do that. I'll go ask His Majesty for permission.

Although the order of events seems to be reversed, Jin once again heads to Miyagi to ask the emperor for permission to visit Mitsuho, the land of a different tribe.

< and , Jin could request an audience with the queen without the need for an appointment.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Jin was granted an audience with the empress.

"Mr. Jin, welcome. What can I do for you at ......?

"Uh, actually, ......."

Jin explains that he would like to visit Mitsuho.

"Oh, so you're going to continue the conversation we had the other day."

The sensible female emperor guessed the purpose of Jin's visit.

"Yes. And I would like to take Reinhardt with me as a diplomat.

At this offer, the Empress looked at the Prime Minister.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Reinhard Randall has no urgent business."

The Empress nodded.

"Yes, I do. I will allow you a certain number of days."

"We are planning on seven days. With a day in reserve, we will have ten days.

"You never know what might happen. ...... is fine, we'll grant it.

Thank you very much.

Please come to Miyagi before you leave. I will prepare a letter for you.

Yes, sir.

Jin bowed and left the office.

I'll prepare a letter for you.

"Well, I see you got the permission.

Jin immediately contacted Reinhardt.

"Well, I'm looking forward to it!　Who else is going with you?"

"Let's see... ......"

The members are Jin, Erza, Reinhard and Reiko. And Edgar, as the pilot of .

Since it was an official visit, they could not have more members. Saki, by the way, is studying the mercury.

"Okay. We will leave the day after tomorrow, is that all right?"

"Yes, that's fine."

If we visit here, it will not be a surprise that we know each other when we see each other later.

Jin checked to make sure he had not forgotten anything else, and the day ended.

The day of the meeting, that is, the day of the meeting, was the first day of the meeting.

On the same day, that is, January 25, <> started for Mitsuho.

First, they went to Miyagi. <> landed in the courtyard.

"Reinhard, take this with you.

"Yes, sir."

Take care, then."

Reinhard received a letter from Her Majesty the Emperor, and after a short farewell reception, he flew to Mitskho.

"Well, it's nice to be out for a while.

Reinhard was excited.

"I wish I could have brought Belle and Yuri with me.

Reinhardt also shows off his loving wife and children.

< hurtles through the air at 500 kilometers per hour.

Before they know it, they have crossed the Harihari Desert and are over Mitskho.

"Oh, that's Mitsho!　I see, it's paved.

Reinhardt, looking down on the town from above, muttered with interest.

descends slowly.

The first destination was the town of Seki.

Ignoring this town as a barrier or gateway could be a denial of Mitsuho culture. The old lord advised Jin to do so.

Respecting his words, <> landed outside the town of Seki, in the square to the east.

First Reiko, then Jin, Reinhardt, and Erza show up.

"Ah, Jin-han!　Erza!　Reiko, too!

A familiar face, Maya, spotted Jin and waved to him.

Behind her, the mayor of the town, Crowe, appeared.

"Well, Jin-dono, welcome. You have come on a great ride this time.

< and is impressed.

"Yes, it's called an airship. It's the latest model.

"Oh, well. I'd like to ...... take the time to talk to you.

I'd be very grateful if you could arrange it that way. This is Reinhardt, a diplomat of the Shoro Empire. He's a friend of mine.

"I see, so you have a diplomat with you, and you have something important to discuss."

The perceptive Crowe gave a brief explanation to the assembled residents. The residents then all left with satisfied looks on their faces, and Crowe and Maya were the only ones who remained.

"Darrow is in Kali now.

Crowe explains as he walks away. So far, this is his attitude toward an acquaintance named Jin.

Reinhardt is impressed by the stone walls and the gate.

As they pass through the gate, Crowe's face becomes that of the mayor.

"Please come in, Mr. Reinhardt," he said.

When they arrived at the two-story town hall, Crowe gave priority to Reinhardt and led the way.

"Oh, yes."

Even for Reinhardt, who had visited many towns as a diplomat and had seen a variety of architectural styles, the one in Seki seemed to be a rarity.

"This way please, Mr. Reinhardt."

The group was led to the reception room.

Reinhardt sat at the head of the table, and Jin and Erza sat on either side of him.

"Here is some tea.

Maya served the three of them tea.

"Well, Mr. Reinhard, what do you have to tell us this time?

Reinhard had heard about Mitsuho from Jin and the others and knew about Crowe, so he told them the purpose of his visit.

"There will be a in the near future, and we would like to invite Mitsuho's representatives to the meeting.

Reinhardt then explains what the is.

"Oh, well. So the is like the in the teachings of <>?"

Jin nodded silently. He left the speaking to Reinhardt.

"Is that what you mean? We would like Mitsuho to participate in the at some point. First of all, you will introduce him to the representatives of each country, won't you?

Crowe nodded deeply.

"I understand. In that case, I will contact Miyako in the capital immediately.

"Yes, please."

Thus, the meeting with Crowe, the mayor of the town of Seki, ended successfully.

The rest of the meeting consisted mainly of small talk and information exchange.

"Oh, you're getting married to Mr. Oliver in a week!　Congratulations!"

"Congratulations! It's thanks to the successful conclusion of diplomatic relations with the Shoro Kingdom.

Oliver and Maya, a merchant from Ithmar, were attracted to each other, but they had almost given up because of the lack of exchange between their countries.

But when the Shawlo Kingdom approached them and formalized diplomatic relations, their dreams came true.

"Congratulations!"

Erza also congratulated Maya.

Meanwhile, Reinhard and Crowe seemed to be eagerly discussing the differences in culture and customs between the two countries, especially the ceremonial relations.
