Shiroe, Crusty, and Michitaka are invited to the palace by the Free Cities of Eastel.  The nobles of the land invite the three of them to various meetings and seem to be trying to find out more about Akihabara and the Round Table.  Crusty is attracted to the daughter of Duke Cowen, who is noble, beautiful, but seems somehow lazy...
By the way, have we still not heard 
where the Izumo Knights are?
Gibt es übrigens immer noch keine
Spur von der Izumo-Ritterbrigade?
Por cierto, ¿aún no sabemos dónde 
están los Caballeros de Izumo?
Au fait, toujours aucune trace
des Chevaliers d’Izumo ?
Tra l'altro, non si sa ancora
dove siano finiti i Cavalieri di Izumo?
Por sinal, ainda não sabemos aonde
 foram os Cavaleiros de Izumo?
Между тем так и не удалось выяснить,
где «Рыцари Идзумо»?
