First
Just like what translator said in the credit page, so many loophole and inconsistencies in this chapter. Especially how they left a stranger waltzing around accompanied by Queen's little sister.
Meanwhile a few pages before the author showed that this is a very mysterious country that doesnt easily accept strangers

Anyway, the world concept is quite amazing. A moving country? Looks like they moved on a trail like a giant train. But why the planet is called Earth?

Finally, good to see this manga gets translated in English
Thank you TL-san
It's strange to see this manga gets translated in Spanish over at Mangaplus but not in English

It looked pretty clear to me that the King had some extra reason to let the guy in, probably some cultural exchange goals judging from the initial dialogue. He regarded the letter as someone mocking him so it wasn't that.

The Queen also seemed to realize something about the King's aim so she appointed her sister to be a guide, maybe to learn about other cultures or to talk about theirs without restraint. Also it's not like they aren't monitoring them since the King knew about lil sis trying to take the guy's mask off.

All in all the kid seems safe, she looks to be serving a purpose and could also be someone that the Queen and King trust will speak truthfully about the stranger, since everyone else seems to have prejudice against outsiders.

I'm not sure why the translator notes seem to be taking what the Queen said at face value. It's obviously not the decision of the elders to let her sister guide the man around she obviously just decided that herself.

Like others said there's obviously some secret behind why they chase the rings and part of that knowledge is exclusive to the royal family, so it's a bit silly to just assume the whole country is entirely incompetent. I mean they invented that tech after all.

Thanks for the translation. Though the editor's analysis is really trying too hard to pick at some plot holes.

 

[Carerx]

editor sure is looking for something to complain about 1hen this story has only just begun. Have you not considered that the child is not as incompetent as you think? This seems to be a sci-fi, so she may have some tech that can preserve her life if need be. Has this editor also not consider that they could be using her as a bait/spy? People tend to relax their guards around children, sending her out in order to relay this guy aim and purpose may be the plan. However, this all speculation. There isnt much to theorize about OR complain about when we havent even got deep in the characters motive.
