Reincarnated into Another World with Mecha

Part 16: A Country Of Iron: Part 2

The hero nodded, "Sure."

The wizard snapped his fingers, and they were back in the tower again, "Well, I'll leave you to it then, I'll be around if you need me."

With that said, Merlin vanished, leaving Ryuga to ponder the wizard's words before he left the tower.

After a while, Ryuga stood inside a hall dressed in a formal suit.

Tables with seats filled the hall, with a few tables full of food and drinks at the center and sides.

The hero took a brief glance around the hall, spotting countless people who were undoubtedly nobles or people with power.

"Enjoying the atmosphere?"

Ryuga turned to see Arthur, "Arthur."

The prince of Pendragon smiled, "I'd have expected more people to approach you."

The hero shrugged, "Meh, I've been ignored the entire time I was here."

Arthur raised an eyebrow, "Really now?"

Ryuga nodded, "Glad I'm being left alone actually."

"That might come to an end sooner than you'd hope."

The two turned to see Gray walking to them, an amused expression on his face.

The brunette waved, "It's been a while since we talked, hasn't it?"

Ryuga smiled, "Yeah, well, I've been busy."

Gray laughed, "So I've heard. They might not know how you look, but almost everyone here has heard of your exploits."

The hero's smile turned forced, "I see..."

The two noble men chuckled at Ryuga's expression, and Arthur glanced around, "Well, they'll know who you are pretty soon."

As if on cue, the door opened, revealing Alice, Koyomi, Rinko, Megumi and Mamoru, easily grabbing everyone's attention.

They quickly spotted Arthur and Ryuga, and approached them.

Mamoru regarded the three, before staring at Ryuga in the eye, "Hero Ryuga, we meet again."

The hero nodded, "Your majesty."

He looked at Rinko, "Lady Rinko."

The leader of Yogoe gave him a nod, noting the whispers from the crowd, her superior hearing letting her make out what they were talking about, and a small smile appeared on her face.

Rinko chuckled, "Quite the spectacle we've made now."

Arthur nodded with a smile, "We were just talking about how no one was approaching him."

Mamoru snorted, "Well, expect more from now on."

Ryuga palmed his face, "Spare me please."

But before they could continue, the door opened once more, revealing Karl, Rufus and Celeste.

The president of Eisen smiled widely, "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, I hope everyone is enjoying the party thus far."

His presence caught everyone's attention, and Karl's smile widened, "I thank everyone for taking the time to attend. So I hope everyone will enjoy your time here."

With that said, the three walked towards the center of the hall, where a number of nobles started approaching them.

Ryuga glanced at Alice, "Does this usually happen?"
