　We had come to a building that looked like Karin's new place of business.

　It's a brick mansion. Maybe it also serves as a government building.

　I walk toward the people who are forming a line to the front entrance of the building and call out to the person at the end of the line.

"Excuse me, what kind of queue is this?"

"Yeah? Of course, it's a line to see the lords and petition them. You came to see Lady Karine, too, didn't you?

"Uh, yeah. Yes. Thank you for telling me.

　Loa looks at me strangely.

"Just ignore him and go in."

　After saying this, Roa walks past the line of people to the entrance of the mansion.

　I see that you are right, and I start to walk after him.

　It was when Roa was about to go through the entrance of the mansion.

　He is stopped by a woman who looks like a staff member at the entrance of the mansion. She must be a new staff member.

She said, "Please show us your ID card.

"I don't have it," Roa replies curtly.

"Then please go to the petition line over there.

"It's a hassle. Let me through."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, no, sir. It's a rule. If you don't have an entrance pass, you have to get in line.

　An argument starts between Roa and a female staff member.

"Roa, I don't have a choice. You said it was a rule..."

　That's when I said to Loa. A voice calling us echoed in the room.

"Master Rust! And Lois! You're back safe. Welcome back, both of you.

　It was Leitner, the man in charge of the pantry.

　He had just left the house and was coming toward us. The female staff member who had been arguing with Lois interrupts us as we are about to reply and starts talking to Rittner.

"Mr. Leitner! Thank God. We were in trouble. These people didn't even have passes to get in line..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Bubba, you! What are you talking about! You don't know who these people are! Oh, you were trying to get me in line!"

　Leitner looks impatient and speaks quickly, looking alternately at us and the female staff.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What? ....... Huh."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A staff member responds to Leitner's unusual behavior with a confident tone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow, really? ....... Oh, come on. This is a master alchemist and the head of the Admiralty's alchemical research department. And he is the benefactor of my brother.

　The female staff member who heard this, put her hand under her mouth and turned pale. She looks younger than Roa at a closer look.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah. I'm Rust. How do you do?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll introduce myself somewhat.

"So, I'm Ahri's sister. Of course, I have a magic eye and I'm under the direct command of Master Kalin.

　Leitner then points to Roa and tells him.

"Loa Saad," she says, imitating me. I get the feeling that he's a bit of a bad influence.

　The female staff member, who had been pale, now flaps her mouth for a while. It seems that she is having a hard time speaking. Finally, in a small voice, she responds to me and to Roa.

This is Cheri Carr. I am very sorry for your inconvenience. ......"

"Mr. Cheri, if you didn't know, I don't blame you. Well, I guess we can go inside now. Mr. Leitner, I have a report and a souvenir for Karin.

"Yes! Yes! Of course. This way!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With that, he led the way and we finally arrived at Kalin's office.
