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...
We've done this over and over.
Wir haben es so oft versucht.
Warum können wir nicht gewinnen?
Lo hemos hecho una y otra vez.
On a beau recommencer,
on n’y arrive pas !
Ci abbiamo provato non so quante volte, ormai.
Estamos fazendo isso vez após vez.
Почему не можем победить?!
Сколько раз уже пытались!
