They were dressed in their new Shoro Imperial-style tops and bottoms.
"Oh, Jin-san!
"Yes, it's Jin!
"...... So you mean to say that Jin was >Jin Nido after all.
Although they had half-expected it, it was still a shock to Eira and the others.
Jin Nido shook hands with Tomax.
"Nice to meet you. <."
"I am Tomax Bartmann, Chief Administrator of <>. Welcome, <>!
There was a round of applause.
"And this must be the honorary squire, Lord Racco."
Yes, I am Reiko.
Elena stepped forward. She bowed in a curtsey and greeted him.
"Mr. Reiko, it's been a while. Thank you for your help the other day.
Reiko also responded to Elena in a curtsey.
"Elena-san, it has been a while. Thank you for welcoming us today.
Maricka shook hands with Tomax.
"Tomax, you're looking great.
"I am glad to hear that you are doing well, too.
Marikka had been a teacher at <> in the past, and Tomax was her student.
Theon also greeted some of the female executives.
"Mr. Theon, you look as young as ever.
Yes, thanks to you.
Theon had also taught at as a temporary instructor.
Naturally, Rhodoth, who was also a lecturer, was greeted by some of the executives.
"Master, thank you for coming today.
"Thank you. You've all grown up, haven't you?
"Thank you, sir." "I'm very proud of you."
We couldn't possibly have such an endless exchange at the airport, so Tomax's secretary, Golem, whispered in a low voice, "Sir, I think it's time to go.
"Sir, I think it's time to go to ......."
With that, Tomax seemed to realize.
"...... gentlemen, we can't stand around talking forever in this airport. Please, this way."
A ceremonial carriage pulled by a golem horse is ready for us.
The carriage can accommodate nearly 20 people, and it is of a size that is out of the ordinary for a carriage, and has no roof.
Everyone, including Tomax and his secretary Golem, was allowed to get into the carriage.
"Here we go..."
The ceremonial carriage starts to move slowly.
(Oh, that's quite a golem horse. That looks familiar.)
Jin notices that the golem horse leading the carriage is a copy of the one he once gave to the Nordic Federation.
(Well, it must have been donated by Zion or Marikka.)
Jin imagines such a thing. And he was right.
"Welcome, Magecraft Meister!
"Welcome from the Nordic Federation!"
The carriage heads toward the guest house, being seen off by the residents who welcome Jin and his party.
