Both Shiroe and Rinne are excited with Elder Tales' release of 12th expansion pack. However, during the release, more than 30 thousands of players 'entered into' Elder Tales, including both of them.
'Well, might as well enjoy while it last~~' Rin...
"Welcome everybody. I would like to thank you for coming."
A man in a white cape with furry edges, who was definitely a noble, addressed Shiroe's group.
Wah... This is serious... He is the real nobleman...
Just as Shiroe was thinking of this, this elderly man, who looked like the 'real thing', was a noble with a short beard and sharp eyes under his silver hair. His muscles lines were obvious because of his advanced age, but his sturdy muscles suggested that he must have been active on the battlefield as a young man.
Darkblue shirt and pants with dark brown edges seemed to be summer clothes, which did not look thick or heavy, decorated with several metallic designs and fastened by a belt. He was wearing high-class leather boots that were black and shiny.

"It is a pleasure to meet you. I would like to thank you for inviting us. I am the representative of Akiba's governing body 'Round Table Council', known as Crusty ."
Crusty had responded smoothly, his expression showing no sign of retreat.
Crusty-san is so graceful and steady, just like a noble... Shiroe thought.
Michitaka introduced himself next and also seemed to be smooth and at ease, in terms of courage, these 2 led the Round Table Council members in terms of fearlessness. Shiroe had believed that choosing them as representatives were the right choice.
"I am Shiroe, please take care of me."
Thinking about this, Shiroe introduced himself simply. This simple attitude seemed to be the opposite of nervousness to the others. All present didn't see them as 'the fearless duo' but as 'the fearless trio', but Shiroe didn't notice this.
I will introduce myself in detail later. I want to know his identity anyway... That's what Shiroe thought.
"I am Sergiatte Corwen, holding the position of director-general in the League of Freedom Cities Eastal."
So, this grandpa holds the most authority in the east... Rinne thought.
Akiba was the largest player city in the Japanese server, but that doesn't mean it was the largest city.
The largest city on the Japanese server was the 'Maihama capital' which was centred around 'Castle Cinderella'.
In this alternate world, Tokyo had lost its function as capital.
Compared to the real world Japan with a population of over 100 million people, the alternate world had only 1% of the populace.
People formed small communities everywhere, building walls to keep out threats, living in shelters like these. It was the same at the border of old Tokyo. Including Akiba and this palace, there were remnants of high technology and magical culture in the ruins. A few cities were built using these ruins as a base, the population was too sparse, it was impossible to manage and govern the whole zone.
