"Welcome to the Kingdom of Shoro."

 An officer arrives at the airport to check in.

"<>, is it? I believe that crest belongs to the Nido family?

 The officer was knowledgeable, and seemed to know a great deal about the Conlon 3 of 400 years ago.

"Yes, yes. We are borrowing it from the Nido family.

"I see. You are very well acquainted with them. I envy you. So, the procedure is at .......

 Rhodes took care of the procedures on our behalf, which is a big help to us as well as to Jin. < is stored in a covered warehouse.

 A similarly sized airship is seen here and there.

"That's a , isn't it?"

 Rhodes says. Apparently < is the standard size for a class of airship.

 The procedure is quick.

 All of us were now considered relatives of Rhodes.

"Here are your temporary entry passes.

 Jin, Rubina, and Shu receive their temporary entry passes. Reiko, Hope, Edgar, Uragan, Blitz, and Donner were also issued provisional permits.

 Rhodes, on the other hand, was acquainted with the Minister of Magical Technology of the Shoro Empire, LeGrey Gibbs von Vesuvius, and had a quasi-citizen status.

 Since he was related to Rhodoth, he was able to pass the troublesome screening process.

Thank you for your help.

"No problem."

 Jin was glad to be with Rhodes, who had a wide circle of acquaintances.

 And once again, he felt sorry for his lack of a foundation in this world.

(I guess I'll just have to make do in my favorite country from now on...)

 As Jin was thinking of this, a large covered carriage stopped in front of him. A golem horse is pulling it.

"You're picking me up from LeGray, aren't you?

 He said he had called ahead of time.

"Master Rhodes, it has been a long time.

 A golem acting as a guardian greeted him.

"Hello, Prairu."

 The golem and Rhodes knew each other.

 Rubina and Shu were brought on board first, followed by Jin, Reiko, Hope, Edgar, Blitz, Donner, Uragan, and finally Rhodes.

"What kind of person is this Mr. Legray?"

Yes, he is 54 years old this year. We met in Avalon when he was young, and we hit it off after all.

"Hmm."

 Somehow, Jin imagined that he and his former best friend Reinhardt were like him.

"He likes golems and automata, so I think he is in charge of this golem competition (gompetition).

"Hmmm... ...... Rubina has a lot to learn, doesn't she?"

"Eh? Oh, yes!"

 Rubina and Shu are as docile as borrowed cats, as this is the first time in their lives that they have been in a foreign country.

"Don't be too nervous. Reiko and I will be with you.

 Jin reassured them.

 The golem carriage drove along the cobblestone streets.

"This used to be a town called , but it became when Loisart grew too big.

 The town of Ali, which was a satellite city, has been incorporated into Leuzert's expansion.

"So that's how prosperous it is."

I suppose so.

Wow, interesting building.

 Rubina pointed in the direction of a castle-like building with a spire.

"It's a lord's house, I think it's more than five hundred years old," Rhodoth explained gently.

 Rhodes explains gently.

"Mr. Rhodes, what is that?"

 Shu asks, looking out the opposite window.

"Oh, that's the new building. It's the best workshop in town.

"Oh, I see..."

 Jin cannot sit quietly when he hears that it is a workshop.

"Oh, I see."

 The image he had in his mind was that of an ironworks in town. An office-like building, a large warehouse, and a large work area are all together.

 Seeing Rubina and Shu's eyes light up, Jin is glad that he brought them here.

"I guess I need to see the outside world to broaden my horizons.

 Reiko nodded her head.

"That's right, father."




 Rubina and Shu are still sticking to the window.

 ( Maybe we need to dispatch the fifth column (quinta) again), Jin thought in his mind.

 After about 30 minutes, the golem carriage arrived at a house.

This is the residence of LeGrey Gibbs von Vesuvius, the Minister of Magical Technology of the Shoro Kingdom. It is located on the outskirts of old Leuthart.

 Rhodes' explanation made sense to Jin. This area seemed to be a quiet and luxurious residential area, so he had assumed that there might be residences of aristocrats or rich people here.

 The carriage slowly passed through the gate and stopped in front of the covered entrance.

"Thank you for your hard work!

 Prairu, the coachman, opened the door to the carriage.

 Hope, Uragan, Blitz, and the other golems get off first to support their master.

 Reiko, Edgar, and Donner were the last to disembark with their baggage.

"Oh, Rhodes, welcome!"

 An elderly man with gray hair comes out to greet them.

"Hey, LeGrey! Long time no see!

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



 Rhodes says to him in a friendly manner. Jin guessed that he was the Minister of Magical Technology.

"It's been about four years, hasn't it? You smell like water!

"I'm sorry. I've been in the west for a while on some business.

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



"Well, I heard something happened in the western principality. ...... Well, I'll stop asking."

But more importantly, aren't you serving today?

No, I'm not today. I've already finished the preparations for tomorrow's golem competition, so it's a rest day.

You're still very good at what you do.

"And you, too."

 They smiled, shook hands, and talked about their recent activities.

"Let me introduce you. ......First of all, I would like to introduce a relative of mine, Mr. Jin Nido. This is Shu Nido, and this is Miss Rubina Garrett."

My name is LeGrey Gibbs von Vesuvius. I see you share the same name as the legendary Magecraft Meister. And another one with the same surname.

"Why don't you tell him it's you ......?"

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



 Rhodes said with a mischievous look on his face, but Legray didn't care.

"Ha-ha-ha, I guess so. The surname Nido is quite common and there are many people who go by the name of Djinn. I know two djinns myself.

Well, that's all right.

Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt you at the door. ...... Jin-dono, Shu-dono, Miss Rubina, welcome to my home."

 With these words, LeGray led the group into the house.

 They were first ushered into a large parlor.

"Welcome.

 The person who brought the tea was a slender-looking automaton.

"Thank you, Juna.

"Come in, Master Rhodes," she said.

 Rhodes seems to be familiar with this automaton named Juna.

"Jin-sa ...... sir, Legray is more of a golem lover than a misanthrope ......, and all the people working in the house are automata and golems.

"Hohoho."

 Juna is a slender beauty.

 I wondered if she was LeGray's favorite, and then a more glamorous automaton arrived with a wagonload of tea cakes.

"Oh, is this a new one?"

 This automaton seemed to be the first one Rhodes had ever seen.

"Yes. <. ...... Yuana, thank you. You can stay back now."

Yes. Yes. I'll leave you to it.

 As the two automata left, LeGrey turned to Jin and the others,

"You have wonderful automata and golems with you!

 He said, "You have wonderful automata and golems with you!

 Jin felt that Legray Gibbs von Vesuvius, the Minister of Magic and Technology of the Shoro Kingdom, really seems to love golems and automata from the bottom of his heart,...... or so everyone there felt.
