Tru said, "Looks like the little guy is now a big guy."
Tracey said, "Looks like Lilith's little baby is a warrior now. When did you grow so much, kid?"
Liebe said, "Thanks, I guess, guys."
Tracy said, "Of course. You can rely on us once in a while, but it seems you don't need us much."
Liebe said, "That isn't true."
Tracy said, "Well, just know we will be watching you. Also, if you ever need help, we will come running, because you are Vexus's little brother—and he obviously looks out for you."
Liebe said, "Yeah, I know. No matter what he says, he is great."
Tru said, "Good to see. Plus, we will be there too, kid."
Frey said, "We are here to state it appears Domr's faith was well placed."
Liebe said, "Thanks."
As Tracy pulled his cheeks, she said, "But that doesn't mean you have to do everything alone, kid."
Liebe said, "Sure. Plus, I always have you guys and everyone in Black Rose."
Frey said, "Exactly. No matter what, we are all a family. And no matter how fractured your relationship with the Captain may be, I'm sure she is always looking over you, even if she can't be there in person."
Liebe said, "I will consider it."
Tru said, "Now that's the spirit, little dude. Keep it up."
Tracy said, "Exactly. Now, running along now—shoo, shoo!"
Liebe said, "You do know I'm not a dog, right, that you are shooing me?"
As Liebe left, he said, "Take care, guys."
They said, "We will."
Later, as he was in his hotel, he said, "Dark Magic: Dark Castling!" As Horn teleported into Liebe's room.
Horn said, "Greetings."
Liebe said, "Yo. Good job today."
Horn said, "Of course. Yet, unfortunately, becoming three people at once drains quite a lot of mana."
Liebe said, "You did great. Thanks for that. Now then, what's the juice?"
Horn stated, "I will inform you the details later. I have one final task for tonight."
Liebe said, "Okay."
Meanwhile, on the ship, as Licht got out of the shower, he said, "Dark Magic: Dark Castling!" and said, "Yooo, Lieb—" as it was Horn.
Licht said, "What are you doing here?"
Horn said, "Greetings, Mr. Tiny Testicles."
Licht said, "I thought I told you not to call me that."
Horn said, "Is that so? I suppose 'Micro Penis'—"
Licht said, "Not that either!"
Horn said, "I suppose 'Non-Existent Testicle' is more suited for the occasion."
Licht said, "Where do you even get the names?"
Horn said, "I'm only selecting suitable names from the list provided by Liebe."
Licht said, "Of course he did that. So why are you here?"
Horn said, "I am here for the sole purpose of researching your testicles."
Licht said, "What the crap?"
Horn said, "The phenomenon of a male child having micro testicles hasn't been observed so far, so I'm doing so."
Licht said, "Do the both of you have a screw loose or something?"
Horn said, "That was my attempt at the creation of a joke."
Licht said, "I really am not a fan of your sense of humor."
Horn said, "Why might that be? Liebe is always quite fond of my humor."
Licht said, "Great. An idiot teaching a mentally disabled. So why are you here besides staring at my testicles?"
Horn said, "Please kindly reach out your hand."
Licht said, "Why?"
Horn said, "It is standard procedure."
Licht said, "Okay, then."
As he extended his hand, Horn said, "Zephyr." As a black tattoo appeared on his forearm.
Licht said, "What is wrong with you? You do know tattoos are permanent, right? And I am not getting one this soon unless someone dies."
Horn said, "Is that the reason why you have an 'L' on your neck that is covered by artificial skin?"
Licht said, "How did you know?"
Horn said, "You are one of my most primary subjects. I know how you lack religious belief, yet carry a cross on your neck for the same reason."
Licht said, "Stop, unless you want to die."
Horn said, "My apologies. I forget how seriously you prefer your boundaries. Now then, I came to state today's incident."
Licht said, "Great. Now you came to tell me about Liebe's rich club or something? What will it be? Like a rich people thing, like a car club or something?"
Horn said, "It is precisely similar. Yet today, it was interesting. In the last few years, the clash between Liebe and Julius has really heated up."
Licht said, "Who is that again?"
Horn said, "In your terms, a son of a b*tch."
Licht said, "Oh, okay, then. When and where do I kill him?"
Horn said, "You do not. Also, use the word 'Borus' to conceal the tattoo and use the word 'Unite' to notify me that you require my help—specially helping enlarge your tiny testicles. Even though it may be far more efficient to acquire a new testicle."
Licht said, "What do you mean, acquire a new testicle?"
Horn said, "Here is a list of some prominent dealers in the black market who are quite equipped in helping you acquire a new testicle, specially above 3m. It should help fulfill whatever you lack and acquire Iris in the long run. I would suggest Marcus. Liebe already has a good 5m deal for you with him. You can take it whenever you feel like."
Licht said, "I'm sorry I asked."
Horn said, "It is quite alright. Please, from now on, specify what you require. It was quite hard to understand that you wanted to acquire a vagina instead of testicles. Do not worry. I will do my best to help in your personal endeavor, and I will inform Marcus you require a vagina. Now then, I will be off. I hope your new organs will be satisfactory. Now, Dark Castling!" As she teleported back to the hotel in Pieze.
Licht said, "Great. Just great. What the hell does she think? Anyways, well, what am I supposed to do with this? Wait—" As he imagined he would never have to go to the office ever again—complete paperwork, walk to the table to eat, wake up, even going to the toilet—she said, "Do it all for him."
"Dark Magic: Dark Castling!" As Horn appeared again.
Horn stated, "I would like to state I have more urgent affairs that require my attention than your trivial, perverted ideals of sleeping 30 hours a day. So please kindly bear that in mind before asking for my assistance." As she again teleported away.
As Licht sat down and cried, saying, "Wow, this tattoo really is useless. What the hell am I supposed to do with something so permanent? Now, great—my life is ruined in every way possible."
Later, at the hotel, Horn stated, "All tasks are complete. Now, please allow me to briefly summarize all of today's activities."
Liebe said, "Sure."
The next day, as Liebe entered the temple, his footsteps could be heard all around. Seeing this, Ava couldn't help but think, So he is here. The wolf in sheep's clothing, carrying such a false smile. The ruthless diplomat that deals in blood. Or should I say, the kind, caring leader of Team Liebe. Things might just have gotten interesting.
Ava said, "So, the false prince actually returned."
As Liebe was able to make her quiet down with a single look…
Meanwhile, on the ships, Licht said, "Okay, everyone, here is the plan: we will beat the shit out of those dumbasses, kick them in the nuts!"
Everyone screamed, "Yes!"
Licht said, "Punch them in the face, knock their teeths out!"
Everyone screamed, "Yes!"
Licht said, "Also, as the representatives of Team Liebe, be on your best behavior."
Lichee said, "Sorry, what?"
Licht said, "No time to explain. Gelda, please!"
As Gelda appeared from her portal, Gelda said, "Yoo, kiddos."
Licht said, "Take us to Pieze, Festival of Warriors."
Gelda said, "No."
Licht said, "Please."
Gelda said, "I have been instructed by Lord Liebe not to do that."
Licht said, "Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty please! Mommy, pretty please!"
Gelda said, "Okay, then. Spatial Magic: Astral Gate!" As she made a portal.
They went through and appeared in the ruins around the temple. As they tried to enter through the front entrance, security said, "Sorry to state, you are not allowed to enter without an invite."
As they sadly had to go away, Lichee said, "We came all the way just to get sent back by security."
Alysa said, "Disappointing."
Isurugi said, "Truly heart-shattering."
Fate said, "Nothing to be done."
Licht said, "Nuh-uh-uh. I'm your Deputy Leader for a reason."
Lichee said, "Sorry, what now?"
Alysa said, "I don't get it."
Fate said, "Please explain."
Gaia said, "I don't understand what's going on, but seems interesting. Show me, show me, show me!"
As they were sneaking around the temple from the side by climbing the mountain, Lichee said, "What are we doing?"
Licht said, "There is no security for mountain climbers here. We can't fly there since we will be seen."
As they all climbed up and were watching the battle from behind the pillars, Licht said, "When someone says I can't have something, that makes me want it just the more."
Alysa said, "Great. Now we are trespassing."
Isurugi said, "At least it's training."
The battle between Liebe and Julius had begun. As a giant stone golem was striking Liebe with its giant blade, nothing was happening as Liebe stood still in his cloak.
Lichee said, "Cool."
Alysa said, "Yeah."
Licht said, "At this point, he is just showing off."
As Liebe opened his eyes and stared at the golem, first the golem's sword, then its arms, then its torso and head were slashed to bits.
Julius said, "Good to see you can at least back up your claims. Guess Lilith Faust really must have been a fool to kick you out. But again, you are just trash."
As he created more stone golems to face Liebe—three of them—even with three golems, none could get close.
Julius said, "Stone Magic: Stone Edge!" As he managed to graze Liebe's cheek.
Julius said, "So-called heir to Faust. Guess that witch really is just words waiting to die. All you know is a mere defensive spell that requires luck. And even with one golem, I have you at your wits' end."
Hwang said, "Looks bad."
Warner said, "What's wrong? Why isn't he doing anything? He is supposed to be stronger."
Leo said, "Do not worry. He is simply moving forward with a clear head."
As Liebe sharpened his gaze, he stated, "An insult to my Captain will not be taken lightly."
As the impact from the stone golem connected to the ground, creating smoke, Julius said, "This battle is over."
