The talks in the Principality of Norway went smoothly from start to finish.

So, we have a tentative agreement, is that correct?

Of course.

Theobald Theodoric von Grainne, the legate, and Kees Tennic de Norha, the duke of Norha, shook hands firmly.

* * * *

In the evening, a small reception was held.

In attendance were the people who had discussed the matter, plus the Duchess, the 1st Prince, the 2nd Prince, the 1st Princess, and the ministers.

The menu was sumptuous for the Duchy of Norway.

Half of the ingredients were brought in by the friendship delegation.

"Next, the kings of the three duchies will meet and conclude a formal agreement.

"Well, this is also thanks to the efforts of the Council of Worlds."

"Yes, and it has paid off with the signing of this agreement."

Prince Keith and the Marquis Theoderic seem to be having a good time.

The Mitskho representative, Thein Miyabe, also received a lot of positive feedback from those of Mitskho descent,

"What kind of place is Mitsho?"

"The first generation of my family came from a town called Dogo, what kind of town is it?"

"I heard that there was a man named Magus in the past, what kind of man was he?

What kind of person was he?

Then Manon received instructions from Jin and served the sweets she had been making since the morning.

"Here you go, Your Highness, Your Highness.

"Wow, I've never seen this before!

"Wow, it looks delicious!

"Oh, what is this?"

Persica compote.

To put it very simply, persica peaches are cut and seeded, then simmered with water, sugar, wine, and lemon juice.

The alcohol content of the wine was also removed because of the boiling, and it was recommended for the twin princes and princesses who were underage (14 years old).

"Delicious!

"It's so good!" "It's so good!"

"This is delicious!"

The Princess was also smitten by her first taste of the dish.

"Uh, uh, Jin-sama, that's the legendary Mistress Reiko ......, isn't it?"

Jin was surrounded by a group of technical ministers.

"Legend or not, this is Reiko. The first generation built her, the second generation rebuilt her, and I maintained her. She is an automata that has served us for three generations.

I'm not lying...I'm just keeping quiet about the fact that the second and third generations are the same person.

"Oh, I knew it!　It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Jarvie Keefe, the minister of technology, shook hands with Hitoshi and Reiko in turn.

As a Golem automata technician, he had heard many anecdotes about Reiko, and even if they were rumors, he seemed to think that she was the pinnacle to which he should aspire.

According to what I have heard, the Principality of Norway has an extreme shortage of mages who can use various kinds of magic, including engineering magic.

In such a situation, the Minister of Magic, Miko B. Safran, a talented young lady who became a minister at the young age of 23, said to me, "That's amazing,

"That's amazing, isn't it?

Jin said,

"Yes, yes. It's not so much because ...... there are very few people who can use magic,......."

He answered shyly, "It's because there are very few people who can use magic.

* * * *

Later in the evening, another dish was brought to the table.

"Is this ......?"

The dish in the large pot that was brought to the table was, to all appearances, suzu-don.

However, since miso and soy sauce are precious, salt is the main seasoning.

Spices and herbs were scarce, and the dish tasted exactly like .

It is called <>, a traditional dish of our country ......, or rather, a popular dish. I brought it here for you to taste."

"Haha ......"

Jin has never had a picky eater, and even ate sudon without any ingredients when he was in an institution, and Gaju Tsuga is also accustomed to eating poor food as a soldier.

But Theobald Theodoric von Grain, Tein Miyabe, and Ilmina Ratkin, the Marquis, took a bite and frowned at the bad taste.

No, I know it tastes bad. But I eat it at least once a month as a reminder that this is roughly how the common people eat.

Prime Minister Premus High Yasna explained with a self-deprecating tone.

In this country, even the royalty and the aristocracy do not have extravagant diets.

"Such an improvement in diet will be possible if we become a ."

Theobald Theodoric von Grain told the Duke.

Theobald Theoderick von Grain told the Duke.

The meeting ended without a hitch.

Thank you very much for the food.

No, thank you very much.

The Prime Minister seemed to be seriously embarrassed.

But the Marquis Theoderic changed the subject without hesitation.

"Since we have finished our discussions earlier than planned, tomorrow will be a day of friendship."

"Oh, I'm so glad to hear that!"

The Prime Minister seemed to appreciate the Marquis's concern and bowed his head frequently.

At this point, Jin decided to follow up.

"I hope we can have a technical exchange tomorrow.

Jarvie Keefe, the technical minister, took the bait.

"Oh, by all means!　Please have a look at our Golem!　And please give us some guidance!"

And then Miko Bee Saffron, the Minister of Magic,

"I have many questions, and I would appreciate your guidance: ......"

she modestly pleaded.

Ilmina Ratkin also asked,

"We are trying to find out why the farmland is so fertile. We have not reached a conclusion yet, but we can give you an interim report.

The Minister of Internal Affairs, Qaim Lo Hasta, was pleased to hear this.

"Oh, that's very helpful. Please let us know!"

And so the friendship mission to the Principality of Norway was more than halfway through with great success.
