The next morning at 4 AM, as Liebe was up and was ready to leave:
Licht said, "Good morning."
Liebe said, "Good morning."
Licht said, "Want to say something?"
Liebe said, "Yeah. I'm leaving."
Licht said, "What? Why?"
Liebe said, "Nothing." As Liebe gave Licht a wooden box.
Liebe said, "Here, take it."
Licht said, "What is it?"
Liebe said, "My badge. ID 001040. Take it."
Licht said, "Why are you leaving?"
Liebe said, "This place isn't my home anymore. I see that now."
Licht said, "Come on, you can't leave."
Liebe said, "No, it's alright. I'm sure you can take care of things here. And if you need help, you know my communicator frequency."
Licht said, "Yeah. So what are your plans now?"
Liebe said, "For me? For the first time in my life, I don't have a plan. Maybe I will go to Mikill and fight a few giants. Work on myself. Fuck around. Sleep with ladies from around the world. Try some whisky."
Licht said, "Unfortunate that you are leaving. The party was just getting started too."
Liebe said, "Yeah, well. Have fun. Drink plenty on my behalf as well."
Licht said, "Alright. And for you, we were even bringing in prostitutes."
Liebe said, "Huh? What?"
Licht said, "Yeah, we were planning a stripper and prostitute parade for you, since you like sleeping around. And Gelda even recommended it, thinking you went through so much, as a reward. Now who will sleep with them?"
Liebe smiled and said, "The offer is very tempting, but no. I can't stay. Maybe another time."
Licht said, "Well, that's unfortunate."
As they opened the door, there was nothing.
Licht said, "Oh no, we are under attack from a mysterious terrorist organization that has spatial magic. Oh well, nothing to do. Guess we should head back inside. Guess you have to leave another time."
Liebe said, "Nah. Gelda, I know it's you."
Gelda said, "But Lord—"
As the spatial magic vanished, now everything was black.
Licht said, "Oh no, it's an attack. We are trapped. And for some unknown reason, it looks like Elizabeth's shadow realm, but isn't. Trust me."
Liebe said, "Elizabeth, come out."
As they were out, now everything was burning.
Licht said, "Oh god, everything is on fire. The world is ending. Guess you can't leave now."
Liebe said, "Big Sis Lia, I know it's you."
Lia said, "But Liebe, you can't leave."
Liebe said, "Don't worry."
But now there was hail and the ground was frozen solid.
Licht said, "Crap, how will you leave now in this hail storm?"
Liebe said, "Eldrie, stop this."
Eldrie said, "Lord—"
As it stopped hailing, and now there was a thunderstorm with relentless thundering.
Liebe said, "Big Bro, Isurugi, come out."
Vexus said, "Why you leaving?"
Isurugi said, "Sir, please don't leave."
Liebe said, "Don't worry. I will be back. Just seeing you guys trying so hard to stop me—it's more than enough."
As the Black Rose HQ was surrounded by people all around—an angry mob. Lumos, Hedin, the Vale Estate maids, Iris, Aoi were in it. They were all screaming, "Where is Liebe Faust? Get him out here! We will burn him alive!"
Liebe thought, Strange. These people want to kill me, but I can't sense even the slightest bit of malice. Why?
Licht said, "Hey, Liebe, you probably know by now. They want to kill you, but no malice. Why? Because they all came to stop you from leaving. That's their way of returning their thanks for always helping them. Hedin, Lumos, and Iris are here—you changed their lives. Farmers like Mr. Joe, Dint, Jade, Ard all want to thank you for helping plough their land each season. All of them are thankful to you."
Gelda said, "Maybe you can't sense it, but this might help. Spatial Magic: Wave." Now he could hear their thoughts.
All of it was: We have to stop Liebe from leaving. We can't let him leave after everything he did for us. If we act like an angry mob, he won't leave since he doesn't want to hurt us. He doesn't deserve this. If we all act like an angry mob for months, enough—he won't leave. We need to make sure he doesn't leave HQ. He is our family. He isn't a traitor. We need to stand like this to stop him from leaving. If we all just stand here, maybe he won't leave. If he still tries, we will just give up and start begging him to stay. We have to make him stay.
After hearing their minds, Liebe teared up. Liebe realized why he still needs to live.
Liebe said, "Fine then. I will stay."
As Licht screamed, "You all hear that? The dumbass is staying!"
As the crowd screamed, "Alright!" and cheered.
Licht screamed, "Don't drop the angry mob act now!"
As everyone said, "Oh right," and continued the act.
Liebe said, "Now then, when is the stripper parade?"
As Licht started to sweat since he didn't think that far ahead.
Licht said, "Yeah, about that—"
As Lilith was flying high above Baledia, she said, "This nation must end. Void Magic: Abyssal Black Hole!" As a giant black hole engulfed the nation. Baledia was turned to dust with all its people.
Around 1 PM in Eldoria, at HQ, the news was being broadcasted: Baledia was no more.
As Liebe saw this, he thought, Now the memory spell can't be broken. She will be happy forever.
As everyone was in shock.
