As everyone was in shock, Gelda turned off the news and said, "Everyone, let's continue our celebrations. That nation had a chance to learn from Valtia 2 years ago, but they decided to ignore the results of Valtia and chose to oppose us directly. And they received the result. We have no time or reason to show any pity. This nation attacked our lord, his team, and even after that, they denied him the truth. They didn't deserve any mercy to begin with."
Eldrie said, "Gelda is right. They got what they deserved."
As they continued their celebrations:
Elizabeth said, "This seems like a bit much."
Liebe said, "No, you are mistaken. There were innocent people, I don't deny it. But people will die. If they were prepared to kill, they should have been more than prepared enough to die. We gave them plenty of chances, but they ignored all of it and opposed us anyway. No matter what you do, it's foolish to consider you can end a war without casualties. They made the mistake of assuming we would just let them go."
Gelda said, "Listen, you are forgetting. Even though you were kidnapped later, when the truth came out and the people knew their nation was at fault, yet they still decided to throw rocks at Liebe. And that was the moment they confirmed what we knew. They could have chosen the truth and opposed their ruler's lies."
Liebe said, "Remember one thing, Elizabeth. Take this advice to heart from your big brother: no matter what choices you make, your path to your dreams can never be carved out without blood. And if you have the time to consider the feelings of every insect you step upon, you might as well be killing your own dreams."
Elizabeth said, "I understand, brother. When I was kidnapped, I was scared. I felt—now that we had closed down their borders, maybe if they felt the same—"
Liebe said, "It appears your heart is in the right place. Now then, let's keep drinking. And Eldrie, make me some chocolate shaved ice."
Eldrie said, "Got it, Lord."
As they celebrated, after 12 barrels of wine drunk, Liebe was back.
Liebe said, "Hey, Licht, do you know something?"
Licht said, "What?"
Liebe said, "You are a really big asshole. I mean, you are a nice guy, you are just a huge asshole. And by huge, I mean this big. Are you getting me?"
Licht said, "No."
Liebe said, "Well, I mean the thing is, you are 90% asshole and rest whatever. The hole is huge. I swear you can put God Valley in there."
Licht said, "Oh god, I hate explaining drunk Liebe."
Liebe said, "Hey, Elizabeth, I have something important to say."
Elizabeth said, "Yeah, brother?"
Liebe said, "Who is the sorry dumbass who got the 5-year-old drunk?"
Elizabeth said, "I'm 17."
Gelda said, "Present."
Liebe said, "Little kid, no matter what, you are my baby sister and you are adorable, alright? Also, why are your hands so tiny? Look, Licht, so tiny. Tiny hands. Why are you so tiny, huh? I swear, why are you so tiny and Licht's asshole so big? I don't get it."
Licht said, "Mia, please stop him."
Mia, also drunk, said, "Sir, listen, I also really like your ass."
Licht said, "I know it's a nice ass."
Liebe said, "I swear, Elizabeth, you are so tiny I can fit you in Licht's asshole."
Licht said, "Oh god, I should go before Liebe gets any bright ideas."
Liebe said, "Gelda, grab Licht. I want to prove a point."
Gelda said, "OK. What point are we proving now?"
Liebe said, "That we can fit Elizabeth inside Licht's ass."
Gelda said, "Sounds fun." As she grabbed Elizabeth.
Elizabeth said, "Huh? Why does Licht look like Mom?"
Liebe said, "Hey, Isurugi, listen to me. I have something to say."
Isurugi said, "Yes, sir?"
Liebe said, "Your tail is so fluffy. I like it."
Isurugi said, "Thank you."
Liebe said, "I know. Your tail feels so nice. It's nice. How do I put it—"
Licht said, "Oh god, Isurugi, cover your ears. It's the compliment before the insult."
Liebe said, "Yeah, now I get it. It's like—it's like a very, very fluffy and nice and hairy dildo. A super fluffy dildo."
Isurugi said, "Sorry, Licht, I should have listened."
Liebe said, "I swear it will make some girl really happy one day. Wait, more like one night. Yeah, I swear one night some girl will really like it."
As Liebe sat down, he said, "Hey, Mavia, Fate, why are you two girls?"
Mavia said, "Seriously, Liebe?"
Liebe said, "Listen, I have a dream in life. I always wanted to see you two kiss. Can you two kiss like a lesbian couple? I swear, fucking a lesbian is like the Rolls Royce of fucking for a man, OK?"
Licht said, "Yeah, we should stop him."
Lichee said, "I need more of this wisdom for the past."
Licht said, "Please don't."
Liebe said, "Hey, Mia, listen."
Mia said, "Yes, Mr. Boss Man?"
Liebe said, "Mia, I'm going to tell you a secret, OK? Please don't tell Mia, OK?"
Mia said, "Of course, Mr. Big Boss Man. I won't tell Mia a single word."
Liebe said, "I don't get it. How is it you beat me in game night? I don't get it. So for the last few weeks, I used mana resonance to cheat, OK?"
Mia said, "OK."
Liebe said, "This is our little secret, OK? Please don't tell Mia."
Mia said, "Got it. I don't tell that bitch any of this. It's top secret."
Liebe said, "Thank you. And Licht, I have a secret for you."
Licht said, "OK."
Liebe said, "I like your ass. And I used your ass to torture lesbians."
Licht said, "Huh? How?"
Liebe said, "Oh, you don't know. Whenever I see lesbians I don't like, I just feed you sleeping pills, make you pants-less, and put you on their doorstep."
Licht said, "What? Why?"
Liebe said, "So that they can see what a nice ass you have and cry 'cause they can't have it. After seeing your microscopic balls, it's hilarious."
Mia said, "I know, right? But I'm taking it. I call dibs."
Liebe said, "You call dibs? OK, you can have it. I just don't spank the nice ass pillow too much, OK? It's a nice ass. Don't ruin the shape. It's my favourite tool against lesbians. I need to keep it in shape, got it?"
Mia said, "Got it. I will clean it every day."
Liebe said, "Thank you."
Licht said, "Why? Why are you guys after my ass?"
Liebe said, "Lichee, time for your secret."
Lichee said, "What is it?"
Liebe said, "I know, idiot. I know. I have always known."
Lichee said, "Known what?"
Liebe said, "That you are Lilith Faust, dumbass. Mommy, you are my mommy, idiot. I have known."
As everyone sobered up with Liebe's words, thinking Lichee could be in danger—that Liebe knew.
Liebe, still drunk, said, "You are a dumbass. It was obvious."
Lichee said, "How did you know?"
Liebe said, "I know, dumbass. You are the same, OK? The same magic, the same blood. You even have her holy relic. And I may be an idiot, but I'm not dumb enough to name my daughter Falaffle, OK? And also, Lilith told me after your fight, so I knew. And you have the same magic and face as Mom. Not to mention her holy relic. Listen, it's OK, alright? I get it. I shouldn't know, but I know, OK? But I have to thank you. You taught me all my life. Lilith Faust was a captain, the strongest and coolest person I ever knew. And that's why I loved her as a kid. I looked up to her. But that's it. I looked up to her. But 'cause you, dumbass, I get she is also human and my mom. And she is the biggest dumbass I know and babysit. I get it. You made the rejection easier. Thanks. Now thank you, Mommy. Let's eat. I know how hard life is. It's OK. I still miss it, OK? I know I'm cold, OK? I know I seem emotionless. I get it. I just got to do it."
As he hugged Lichee:
Liebe said, "Listen, when you get back to your time, give this to your dad, OK? I want Grandpa to have this. And when you finally meet Dad, tell him I'm bored in the present. Also, take this sword, OK? Shove it down Gabriel's ass. Kill the bastard. How dare he marry my mother? How dare that son of a bitch try to replace my father? I just want to go with you and BBQ him alive and hug you every day. I want to see Dad and Grandpa so badly. But I get it. The present isn't your fault. It never was. I'm just a hater, OK? But I really do love you in the present as well. In the end, I'm your son, alright? And you are my adorable little mommy. Why are you so little? But I swear, go back to your time and don't make the same mistakes again. Because if you do, I swear I will shove you down Licht's ass instead of Elizabeth, got it? And I will do it without butter. Take that. And the sad truth is, I'm sorry too. I should have tried harder. A lot harder. I want to give you this, Mommy. I love you, Mommy. I really, really do. Miss you, Mommy. I want a hug. I'm tired. Carry me home. Tell me stories of Loki by the fireplace. I miss those days. I'm older and stronger now, OK? Take me to Mikill. Let's beat up Loki together this time. And give Dad and Grandpa plenty of hugs for me. I want to go with you and watch you two fall in love and laugh at it. I want to be your baby boy again and ask for hugs again. Hug me every day, Mommy."
Hearing Liebe's words and how much he actually cared, what he carried in his heart, Lichee cried hard as she also hugged Liebe and said, "I'm sorry, Liebe. I'm sorry I turned out like this. I promise you, I will change for the better and hug you every day."
Liebe said, "Thank you. And Mommy, thanks for being the best mommy in the world. Let's go to the past and just read me stories by the fireplace."
As Lichee cried harder, she said, "I can't do that, Liebe. My time—you don't exist yet."
Liebe said, "Come on, please. Let's just go home to the past and read me stories. I already did that plenty in the present."
Lichee tried harder as she said, "I'm sorry, but my time isn't right for you."
As Liebe cried harder, he said, "I get it. But you know, my heart doesn't want to get it. At least now you know this—I'm your favourite son, Mommy. And I love you, Mommy. No ifs and buts, OK? Thank you for being the best mommy in the world."
