Jin and the others were shown into a reception room.
Across a large table sat Paelova Sondovik. Jed Alamold sat next to her. Behind them stood four of Paelove's guards.
Jin and Kačea sit on the opposite side. Behind them stood four of Jed's guards.
"Let me introduce myself again. I am Paelova Sondovik, the regional administrator in charge of the northern region from here in Lawhon.
I am Magecraftsman Jin.
"My name is Ka-ka-cea, and I'm Ka-ka-cea..."
Ka-CHEER is very nervous.
"Don't be so nervous," Paelova said.
Paelova said to her.
Soon a glass of cold juice was placed on the table.
"Thank you for coming such a long way. Drink it."
Saying this, Paelove took a sip herself first. Then Jed.
Jin and Katya also took a sip.
"It's cold ......!"
It is relatively cool in this area, but it is still summer, and a cold drink tastes good on the palate.
"Is it chilled in the refrigerator?"
Jin asked, and Paelova looked surprised.
"What? Jin-dono knows what a refrigerator is?
Jin thought, "Oh, shoot," but once the words left his mouth, he could not take them back.
"Yes, I do.
He had no choice but to answer honestly.
"Umm...... that you know about the existence of a rare (...) magical tool like a refrigerator. ......"
Paelova Sondovik looked at me with a difficult face, but she seemed to change her mind immediately,
"Let's talk about it after dinner.
She turned her smile to Katya and said, "We can talk about that after dinner.
"Katya, this town ...... is in need of a good man, and this country is in need of a good man. I hear you have a flair for math. ......Well, let's not hide it now, Lorenz has been gathering such information under my direction."
Jin understood that he was not an intelligence agent, but he was gathering information from all over the place.
He also guessed that it was probably because of Paelova's support that he was able to possess such a golem.
A peddler is a good way to get information about the economic situation and other things wherever he goes.
"No, no, I'm not ......."
Cachéa was modest, but he said, "No, no,
"No, Cachéa, you have a great talent for mathematics. You should be proud of it.
Jin interrupted him from the side, causing him to turn red and look down.
"Oh, mathematics? That's interesting. That raises my expectations even higher.
"Yes, yes. ......"
Ka-cea replied in a fading voice and glared at Hitoshi with a reproachful sideways glance.
"Well, we'll talk about that after dinner. I know ...... a little bit about you guys. I'll have him show you to your room.
After a short chat, Jin and Katya were shown to their rooms.
Jin was assigned a room of about 8 tatami mats with a bedroom of about 4.5 tatami mats, which was a duplex room.
The room was on the second floor and had a good view from the window. It seemed to face south, and in the distance he could see the glow of the ocean, which was reddening in the setting sun.
Jin gazed at the glow of the sea at dusk, thinking of his two hometowns, Earth and Ars.

As Jin had expected, grilled fish was served for dinner.
"Is this ...... a halibut?"
Jin asked, looking at the large, flat fish.
You know it well, don't you? Yes, it's a halibut caught off the coast."
