Ficool

Chapter 19 - Unwanted Attention

"So what are you doing here, kid?"

"My mommy said I could fly over the ocean. I saw a big, big fish—like this big! I thought it might taste nice grilled, so I chased it and tried to harpoon it."

"You… harpooned it? With what?"

"With magic! Like this!" Liebe demonstrated.

Andre whistled. "Impressive. And those black things carrying the fish?"

"My friends! I made them too."

Andre leaned in. "So how exactly did you catch it?"

"Well, when the harpoons didn't work, I summoned Cerberus. But the flames didn't help. Then I summoned my friends with wings—they helped slow it down. But it was still getting away. Then one of them gave me an idea—to summon their friend with four wings. He used black lightning and paralyzed the fish. Then we struck together and caught it!"

"And now they're carrying it?"

"Yep! Mommy and Grandpa love fish."

"Who are they?"

"My mommy is Lilith Faust, and Grandpa is Domr Faust. I'm Liebe Al Faust."

Andre blinked. "Kid… you're a celebrity. Can I take a picture with you?"

"Sure!"

"How old are you?"

"Seven!"

"You're seven and caught this huge thing? Can I do a small interview?"

After the interview, Andre said, "Your summons used lightning on water?"

"Yeah! Black chain lightning."

"Wow… What time is it now?"

"4:35 PM," Andre answered.

"Thanks for the steak, but I gotta go. Mommy will worry."

"Need help getting back?"

"Nope! I can manage."

"But aren't you tired? Mana must be low."

Liebe smiled. "I'm good. Thanks!"

He rejoined his angels. "How long will it take you to get this to the beach?"

One angel muttered something.

"Five hours?! That's too long. Any faster ideas?"

The four-winged angel whispered something.

"Ohh, good idea! Dark Magic: Summon Depth Sharks!"

Three massive sharks emerged from the ocean depths. Liebe attached dark chains to the fish and the sharks.

"How long now?" he asked.

"One hour?" Liebe smiled. "Perfect!"

Taking one end of the chain, Liebe flew ahead. In 25 minutes, he reached the beach.
