Jin was worried that something might happen, but it seems that his fears were unfounded and nothing happened that day.
The next day, the 21st.
At 9:00 a.m., after breakfast, Jin began to think that it was time for him to leave.
"Mr. Shin, could you come in?
Jin was asked.
Having no reason to refuse, Jin, Reiko, and Lise were led by the servant who came to call them.
They thought they were in a pavilion, but they were in a courtyard.
The weather was fine. The weather was fine. Since it was sunny, they decided to have a less formal event like a tea ceremony or a social gathering outdoors.
There were several small tables, the Marquise Kuzma in a wheelchair, the Marchioness, four other nobles and their servants.
"Oh, Mister Singh. ...... everyone, they are my benefactors. I told them about you ...... and they said they would love to meet you."
"I am Magecraftsman Shin. This is Reko. This is Lise, the healer.
This is Count Setena. Thank you for healing Logres. I thank you too."
Logres is the name of the Marquis of Kuzma.
Viscount Lassan. This is my son Vernon.
Viscount Galana.
They introduced themselves to each other and asked Jin and the others to take their seats.
Then tea was brought to them. After taking a sip of the tea, the Marquis Kuzma opened his mouth.
"I cannot thank you enough, Lord Singh, for what you have done for us. I thank you again.
"No, you're welcome."
Count Setena approached Jin and said, "Hmmm...
"Hmm, does Mr. Shin belong to the Nordic Federation?"
"Not exactly, but I am an old friend of Zion's."
"Well, you must have a certain status or position to be able to address us as 'Mr. Sion' when we call you 'Mr. Sion'.
Yes, well...
"Well, the Nordic Federation is not an aristocracy, is it?"
Viscount Rasarn said as if he had just remembered.
Yes, since the Nordic Federation was originally organized by , there are positions of < in the Nordic Federation, but other than that, there is no particular difference in status.
There is some distinction based on age, but this can be reversed depending on ability.
It is an extension of the << patriarchal system>, so to speak, so it is not exactly democracy, but as an ethnic minority, they are well organized in this way.
"Was Mitsho also a <? No aristocracy, right?"
Vernon, the son of Viscount Rasaan, asked to no one in particular.
"Yes, they do. I'm not sure I understand."
It was his father, Viscount Rasaan, who answered.
"No, as a form of society, each has its own advantages and disadvantages," replied Vernon. What do you think of democracy, ......, Lord Xin?"
Viscount Rasaan asked Jin with a slightly probing look.
"...... Well, in my opinion, the good thing about democracy is that there is little discrimination in status, and the opinions of the people are reflected in politics. The disadvantages are that it takes time to make decisions on important matters and that the people tend to lose interest in politics when there is little change.
"......How well versed you are in politics as well, Mister Shin."
Marquis Kuzma listened to Jin's statement and was impressed by its content, but as for Jin, he was just making a statement that was common knowledge in modern Japan.
It is normal for ordinary people in an aristocratic society to have no interest in politics, because they are not interested in it. This is because even if they are interested and have knowledge, they do not have a place to make use of it.
However, there is one person who does not approve of such political discussion ......, even though it is at a level that cannot be called .......
Viscount Galana.
"......By the way, you are a magecraftsman, Mister Shin, are you familiar with golems?"
"Eh? Ah, yes, I am familiar with them to a certain extent.
"Ah, yes, I know a little bit about them. ...... Marquis, I've actually acquired a wonderful golem. I've brought it here to present to you.
"Oh?"
That seems to be the golem that Reiko has discovered with her .
