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.

They're probably debating whether to defeat 
us by surprise or do everything we say.
Wahrscheinlich überlegen sie, uns mit
einem Überraschungsangriff zu erledigen.
Probablemente discuten si vencernos en un 
ataque sorpresa o hacer todo lo que digamos.
Ils doivent hésiter entre
nous écraser ou nous contrôler…
Saranno indecisi se prenderci di sorpresa 
e sconfiggerci o evitare di contrariarci.
Estão discutindo se devem nos eliminar 
com um ataque surpresa,
Скорее всего, терзаются,
ударить ли исподтишка или нет.
