"Oh? My lord, it's a communication alert!"
After disembarking from the private vessel, Iluvatar and the others had just arrived in the vicinity of Kandastan Star. They had only just notified the planet's administrators to come receive them when the little ranger in charge of communications suddenly looked at the communicator in astonishment...
"That fast? Is it the governor of Kandastan Star?" the little ranger asked curiously.
Iluvatar's visit had been a spur-of-the-moment decision. They had only notified the local administrators to receive them after reaching a certain location, precisely to avoid alarming too many people.
That was also why, when they had previously arrived in the Central Star Region, the person in charge of the teleportation station had merely been the staff member on duty at the time.
As before, they had waited until reaching the outskirts of Kandastan Star before notifying the administrators. After receiving the news, the other party had been extremely shocked and said they would immediately organize people to welcome them.
But wasn't this organization a little too fast? Hadn't they just hung up?
Iluvatar glanced at the communicator and froze slightly before shaking her head. "It's not this planet's administrators. It's Diga's private signal channel. Vinos, did you tell them about our itinerary?"
Vinos: "..."
The elf dressed as a priest paused, then apologized calmly with a bow. "I'm terribly sorry, my lord. You instructed me not to alarm them, but after thinking it over, I felt that your sudden arrival might cause a disturbance. So I informed Lord Diga in advance that you were coming and asked him to prepare for communication with Kandastan Star's administrators. That way, you could enter the planet discreetly as you wished, and at least avoid being disturbed by people from the other academies..."
"Is that so?" Iluvatar
