Finally, today is the day that the inspection team from the royal capital will arrive.
　According to the advance notice, they will arrive by the first scheduled magic ship in the morning.
''Aww.......it's finally happening.
　Aura, who was in charge of entertaining with Una, was standing behind me, looking very nervous.
'It's okay. If you're about to spill your tea, you can hit me.
No, you can't do that!
　At my words, Aura turned bright red and shook her head from side to side.
　So it seemed to be good to be surprised, and Aura seemed to have calmed down a bit after that.

　We were lined up in front of the boarding and disembarkation tower of the magic ship.

　Beside me, the Vice Lords Erdena and Biblina were lined up beside me.
　Behind Erdena, Yorme.
　Behind Biblina was Farran, followed by each of them.

　These five, plus Unja and Auro, were waiting to greet the delegation from the royal capital.

　The guards are waiting around the tower.
　However, this is not because of the arrival of a delegation from the capital, but rather it is a usual scene when a regular magician ship arrives.
　The guards always have the latest wanted list with them to check for bounty hunters among the people arriving on the ships, and to be ready to respond immediately if the bounty hunter starts to run amok.

　Not long after, a regular magic ship appeared from above the clouds.

　With a heavy bass sound, the magic ship slowly made its way to the embarkation tower.
　Every time I look at it, the hull of the magic ship is large and majestic.
　I was a little impressed as I looked up at it.

　After a while, the passengers who had finished the disembarkation procedure in the tower came down one after another.

　I'm sure you're not the only one.
'You must be Mr. Gossage?　My name is Porunde, I'm from the Central Frontier Agency and I'm here to inspect.
　The woman in the middle of the three of them was holding out her right hand to me as she said this.

　Right now I'm called by the pseudonym Gossage, which is registered in the royal capital.
　It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it.
　I'm not going to be able to get a good look at them, but I'm going to be able to get a good look at them.
　I've made it known to everyone that they should call me Gossage or just the lord in front of the inspection team.
Wow, what if I said that by accident...
　And I was most worried about Aura.

　Well, she was only supposed to serve tea, and she wouldn't be calling my name.

　I shook hands with the three members of the delegation, exchanging greetings with them.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find your way to the top.

　I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to find out what they are.　
　I'm not sure if I'll ever see them again.

　The first person I greeted was Ms. Porunde, who is the head of the delegation.
　She was a rather elderly woman with short red hair, quite slender.

　The one standing behind her is
　One is called Mr. Cruller, a slightly chubby-looking woman with glasses.

　The other was Kochip, a woman of rather small stature.

　The three of them followed me into a reception room on the second floor of the town hall.
　Here, Mr. Porunde looked around at us again.
'As we have been informed in advance, the inspection will take two days.
　Today, we will examine the documents. Tomorrow, we'll go around the territory to inspect the territory, so I intend to do that...''
　When he finished saying this in a clerical tone, Mr. Polunde sat down in a chair.
　Then.
So let's start with a survey of our financial situation.
　As soon as he sat down in his chair, Mr. Porunde spread out the materials he had brought with him.

　At first I thought they were going to have a chat over a cup of tea, but the unexpectedly rapid development of the material made me a little upset.

　But that's Unja.

　As soon as Polunde-san suddenly announced that she was going to start her inspection, she walked into the conference room with a handful of baked goods in her hand.
'Well, gentlemen who have come all the way from the royal capital. Why don't you take a break first?
　As he said this, he distributed the baked goods in front of everyone.

　Probably because they couldn't prepare the tea in time, they brought the tea sweets they had prepared in advance ahead of time.
　Polunde-san said as she looked at Unja.

　As he said this, he brought the baked goods to his mouth.

　Looking closely, Kruller-san had already finished his baked goods.
　..........Perhaps Mr. Pollunde was watching from the side as Kruller-san finished his baked goods......so he had no choice but to eat them all together to hide the fact that Kruller-san had finished them prematurely......

　Well, it's a story that doesn't affect a lot of people.

　Soon enough.
Oh, here you go.
　A nervous-looking Aura came into the reception room with a cup of tea on a tray.
　Then Wunya, who had left the room once she had finished handing out the tea treats, comes into the room with her.
　
　Perhaps she is trying to check on Aura's reception and also follow up on it.
　Really, Unya is well aware of this.

　With Unya's eyes glowing like that, Aura smiled and handed out the tea.

　I was thinking to myself, 'I don't think the cup of tea is really going to fly off,' but Aura finished handing out the tea safely.
''I'm sorry,''
Excuse me.
　Aura and Unya left the reception room, bowing together.

　Only, shortly after that, from behind the closed door.
Ouch!
　I heard the sound of a person falling over, along with an aura's voice saying, "I'm sorry.

　Perhaps the aura had fallen.

　The voice was echoing well inside the reception room.
　Hearing that voice, Polunde and the others opened the documents once again, with a slight wry smile on their faces.

◇ ◇ ◇.

　First of all, as an inspection of the financial situation, Alea and the other ants came into the reception room.
　The fact that Alea and the other ants entered the reception room caused Porunde and the others to move their eyebrows a bit, but Alea and the others didn't seem to pay any attention to the situation of Porunde and the others
This is Alea, who is responsible for all financial matters in this city.
　As he said this, he bowed his head towards Polunde and the others.
''........the person in charge of the ants......Okay. Well, let's start by checking the documents related to your income status for the last five years.......
　As Polunde said that, he looked through the materials he had on hand.

◇ ◇ ◇.

　Alea and the others who went on to explain the financial relationship first were truly amazing.

　When Mr. Porunde and the other three asked questions.
I've got some information about that in here and here.
　Immediately, it took several people to take out the relevant materials from the magic bag and present them in front of the inspection team.

　In the face of that too quick and accurate explanation, Polunde and the three of them, as time passed
...wow, that's the most complete set of financial statements I've ever seen.
Absolutely.
　They had gone so far as to exchange such words in a whisper.

　Thanks to the success of Alea and the others, the financial-related inspection, which was originally scheduled for two hours, ended in half an hour.
(This could end pretty quickly....)
　I thought so inwardly, but the inspection of the guard bureau's documents that followed took three times as long as planned, and on a plus/minus basis, it turned out to be a huge minus.
"My lord, I'm sorry...
　The Captain of the Guard, Gugs, who had pointed out quite a few mistakes, bowed to me apologetically during the break, but Gugs had been leading everyone and preparing for the patrol, and I couldn't blame him.
　If I had wanted to, I would have looked over the documents beforehand, but I couldn't do that because Googus' documents were in a state where he stayed up all night and finally finished them this morning.
　Well, most of the things I pointed out were typos, omissions, and writing mistakes, and Mr. Porunde said that we just need to rewrite them, so I think we need to stop talking about this.

So I'm going to end this story here.　Huh?
　Lil Pop, who was present as the deputy guard captain, grimly pushed into Googus' cheek with his right fist as he said that.
