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.

An hour in, and look at us...
Eine Stunde hier drin
und seht uns an …
Llevamos una hora y estamos 
en un estado deplorable.
Une heure, et regardez-nous…
È passata solo un'ora e 
siamo già ridotti così...
Já estamos há uma hora aqui 
 e olha como estamos.
Всего час…
а мы едва держимся!
