King Richard, who was far in the background, was aware of the panic on the part of First Secretary of Foreign Affairs Bojoly.
This was because the same magic screens that had been used in the Elias Kingdom during the had been placed in various locations.
They are used for the same purpose as security cameras and surveillance cameras. The Kingdom of Cerroa is still a country to be reckoned with.
Richard was indignant because he had seen the appalling appearance of Mr. Beaujolie, the First Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the magic screen.
"As soon as the ceremony is over, he'll be removed. ......"
King Richard was talking to himself over a glass of his favorite wine.

"Sir Gin Nidor, Elsa Ehime, it's been a long time.
"Yes, it's been a while, Your Majesty.
The face of the emperor smiled when he saw their matching tailored clothes.
"Your clothes are very unusual, but very nice. Is that ......?"
"Yes, it's the formal attire of the Kunlun Island.
They made these clothes for this occasion.
"Oh, yes. It's very functional."
The loose-fitting suit-like formal wear was easy to move in and looked functional.
"Oh, uh, Your Majesty, Sir Jinn Nido, I don't think we've been standing around here for very long ......".
Bojoly interrupted, a bit embarrassed, because he did not know how to treat them as they started to stand there talking.
"Oh, I'm sorry. "Oh, I'm sorry, but we're almost there. You can do that at ......."
"And if I do?"
The Empress looked a little expectant.
"...... Oh, here we are."
Jin pointed to the river Asur, the great river that flows to the west of Dali.
"Oh!"
"Oh, is that ......?"
A 10-meter-long, shiny silver boat appeared.
"This is the ship I built, <>.
"Shark. ......"
It is a monohull ship, but its design is similar to that of modern Earth cruisers. It stands out from other vessels.
"Is it made of metal?"
Even the Empress was surprised to see the shining silver hull, and her voice rose slightly.
"No, it's just painted. It's basically a wooden ship."
"......I knew it, <>, right ......?"
A shark slowly approaches the pier. Jin, accompanied by Reiko, approached the pier.
The onlookers......, who are not ordinary people but mostly nobles attending the ceremony,...... cracked open and let Jin through.
As soon as the Shark docked at the pier, Lao Tzu came out from inside. Ann followed.
Lao Tzu picked up the rope and jumped ashore as if there was no distance between them. He secured the boat firmly with a familiar hand. Then he bowed politely to Jin.
"Master, I have just arrived with Ann.
Thank you. You are right on time.
Jin, Jin, where are you?
The emperor arrived a little later and looked at Lao Tzu with a surprised look on his face.
"This is . And this is . This is my automata.
There was a murmur of excitement from the onlookers. Both Lao Tzu and Ann looked like human beings.
"My name is Lao Tzu. Your Majesty, I am pleased to make your acquaintance.
"My name is Ann. Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you. ...... Oh, you're Jin-kun, aren't you?"
Perhaps because of her continuous surprise, the emperor's tone had changed to her usual one.
On the other hand, Reinhardt, who was standing behind her, was watching without panicking because he knew Jin's ability.
Then Fritz Randall, who had led <>, arrived.
Gloria and Cynthia are separated as members of the Klein Kingdom at this point.
Rita, by the way, had been reported as a valet for chores and had been left in the living room.
"Your Majesty, Commander Randall, we have just arrived!
