"Gin!　Rhys!"

At the royal castle of Egelea, the third prince Ernesto also greeted the group.

"Your Highness, it's been a long time.

"It's good to see you again, Gin."

Prince Ernest looks a little mature. He has grown to about 170 centimeters in height.

Jin thought to himself, "I was 15 years old this year.

"Mr. Nest!"

"Welcome, Mr. Rhys!"

Prince Ernest smiled at Princess Rieschen, but his face was the same as before.

"Harvey Sotos Flegrode, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic and Technology, welcome!"

But his attitude towards Harvey is that of royalty.

He speaks to Jin in the same frank tone he used to use.

Jin, please stay at the royal castle. We have a lot to talk about.

<. Jin knew that.

If he wanted to visit the castle town in secret, he could just come here through the warp gate.

"Thank you very much.

Since there were many knights and soldiers in the room besides Prince Ernest, Jin used honorifics.

"Princess Rieschen and her party please come this way. Prince Jin's group is this way."

The one who appeared to guide Jin and the others was Lyanna, the leader of the second group of the Royal Secret Maids. She is an excellent maid who will soon be working for .

"Hi Lyanna, I'm looking forward to working with you.

"Yes, it's nice to meet you too.

"Well then, Jin, Elsa, Hannah, Licia, Leco, Edgar, see you later.

Calling everyone by name, Princess Rieschen was escorted out with Undersecretary Harvey of the Ministry of Magic and Technology.

"This room is yours."

"Thank you."

Jin and the others were shown to a large living room with four adjoining bedrooms.

One of them was a double room, two were singles, and the other was a twin room.

It seemed to be a guest room for a large family.

A couple would have a double room, and if they had a small child, they would have a twin room with a nanny.

Of course, Jin and Elsa were to have a double room, and Hanna and Licia were to have a single room each.

Since we do not plan to stay for a long period of time, we do not have much luggage. If they need more luggage, they can have it sent from Horai Island.

"Would you like to have lunch?

It was almost noon.

"Shall I have it brought to your room?"

Jin nodded to Lyanna's words.

"Yes, please do."

Lunch had been prepared according to Jin's taste.

"We've been adding a lot to the menu lately.

Lianna said smiling as she brought the food.

"Since Jin-sama's guests came back, they have become very particular about the taste, and for a while the kitchen was in turmoil.

"Did I do something wrong?"

But Leanna laughed and shook her head.

"No, everyone says it's a good thing that people are becoming more conscious about food. Even the head chef himself.

"That's all right then."

"Come on, let's eat!"

Since Jin didn't touch it, Erza and Hannah had to leave it alone.

"Oh, I'm sorry. ...... Bon appétit."

"Bon appétit!"

"Oh, it's delicious."

Elsa ate a barley porridge.

It was quite good, with a hint of salt, spices and herbs.

"This is delicious!"

Hannah is eating pasta-like noodles.

Butter and pepper, with a hint of herbs, give the noodles a simple yet tasty flavor.

"Yes, it's cooked well."

Jin tried the grilled fish and liked the seasoning. He was more impressed by the fact that the fish had not yet cooled down.

When grilled fish gets cold, it becomes tough and tasteless.

"Oh, this fish is delicious!

Hannah also liked the grilled fish. It was also made with butter, salt and pepper, but more than that, it was a fish from the sea, which was very unusual for Hannah, who was from the Kingdom of Klein.

"It's true, it's delicious.

Licia also seemed to like the grilled fish.

"Are herbs abundant in the Kingdom of Egelea?"

Elsa asked Jin as she ate.

"No. ...... don't you know more than Elsa?"

"I don't remember much."

At this point Lyanna explains.

"Well, you see, in the last half year or so, cooking with herbs has started to become popular, and this year we started to use them in the royal castle.

"Oh, I see."

I wondered who was behind it, but the answer came from an unexpected source.

"(Deneb 10, Irina from the 5th row (quinta))".

Reiko's voice sounded so clear that only Jin could hear it.

"(As a young landlady of a restaurant in the town, Deneb 10 heard from the old man and went to various places)".

The fifth column (Quinta) is scattered in various countries, not only gathering information but also contributing to the community.

In this case, it is to improve the diet.

The most important reason seems to be for the time when Jin visits us like this.

Thanks for the food.

"Thank you for the food, it was delicious!"

"Thank you for the food!" "Thank you for the food!"

"It was delicious. Thank you for the food.

After finishing their meal, Jin and the others drink Taeye, a specialty of the Kingdom of Egelea.

The tea leaves used in the royal castle were of the highest quality, and the aroma and taste were exceptional.

"How would you like to spend your afternoon?

Lyanna asked after setting down the dishes.

"Well, ...... tomorrow we will have a debriefing on the archaeological site, so I would like to go sightseeing around the castle today.

"In that case, I'll accompany you ...... no, I'll show you around."

Neither Jin nor Erza, nor Licia and Hannah, were familiar with the capital city of Asunto, so they were grateful for this offer.

If it had been just Jin and the others, we would have asked Mira 1 and Mabel from the fifth row (Quinta).

"Then I will ask them.

"Yes, I will. Could you please wait for about 5 minutes while I go to my supervisor to say no?

"Yes, I'll get ready to go out in the meantime.

Thus, Jin and his friends decided to visit Asunto, the capital of the Kingdom of Egelea, with Lyanna as their guide.
