บท 71: Conference [3]

"Ah, Professor! It's so great to see you!"

Claude, who had just arrived at the auditorium, greeted Vanitas.

"Have you been here since the first day, Professor?" Claude asked.

"I have."

"I see. Then look forward to my presentation, Professor! You're about to witness history in the making."

"Is that so? Well, I'll be waiting."

"Haha! Let's head inside."

With that, Vanitas and Claude entered the auditorium. They found seats, and as they settled in, Vanitas glanced back and scanned the room.

He spotted Karina, Roselyn, and Astrid sitting together nearby.

Vanitas made sure to sit apart from them, not wanting to draw Claude's attention to Roselyn's unexpected presence.

The third day of the conference focused on findings in alchemy, particularly alchemical engineering. This drew the attention of merchants and business representatives.
