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.

That day, the Apocalypse descended 
on tens of thousands of people.
An jenem Tag brach die Katastrophe
über Zehntausende von Menschen herein.
Ese día, el apocalipsis descendió 
sobre decenas de miles de personas.
Ce jour-là, l’Apocalypse
a touché des milliers de gens.
Quel giorno, l'Apocalisse 
discese su decine di migliaia di persone.
Naquele dia,
В тот день… десятки тысяч людей
столкнулись с Катаклизмом.
