The next day, after waking up, Liebe said, "Licht, are you excited?"
Licht said, "A bit. But why are you so happy? It's just that Elizabeth is coming."
Licht said, "I know. We get to spoil a kid again."
As all three of them went to the port, Liebe said, "Alysa, why are you so happy?"
Alysa said, "Well, since you know Elizabeth is coming and all, you know..."
Liebe said, "My dear dumbass friend, in case you forgot, I can detect lies, and you just told quite a big one right now. You reek of guilt."
Licht said, "I was about to ask that."
Lumos said, "Cut her some slack. It is quite the day."
Liebe said, "Sooooo, mind explaining?"
Lumos said, "My little sister is also coming."
Liebe said, "And who might that be?"
Lumos said, "Actually, she is my half-sister, and we don't have any similarities in our magic, but she is Aoi."
Liebe said, "Good to know. But why does it look like you haven't slept in a week?"
Hedin said, "Because he didn't. The poor dude also died from worrying."
Lumos said, "That's hardly a concern. The thing is that she can be a bit of a free spirit."
Liebe said, "Being your sister, that is hard to guess."
Lumos said, "She had quite the personality. And more like, well, her reputation precedes her. And in her old school, the people did call her 'the Mad Noble.'"
Liebe said, "Now I'm interested."
Later, Elizabeth and Gelda arrived.
Liebe said, "Welcome! How are you guys?"
Elizabeth said, "Brother, I missed you!"
Licht said, "We literally had work yesterday, Elizabeth. But work and 24/7 isn't the same."
Alysa said, "Agreed."
Liebe said, "You seem quite anxious. Who are you waiting for?"
Alysa said, "Well, the thing is... well, the thing is, I don't know how to start."
Licht said, "Just spit it out already."
Alysa said, "Fine. Eosian is coming as one of the new first-years."
Liebe said, "Sorry, I regret asking."
Licht said, "Great, even more babysitting. Elizabeth is already a handful, and now this."
Lumos said, "It seems her ship is almost arriving."
Liebe said, "Good to hear."
Then, from behind, someone tapped Liebe on the back.
Liebe said, "Umm?" And it was Mey.
Liebe said, "Mey? What are you doing here?"
Mey said, "I'm also joining as one of the new first-years."
Liebe said, "Sorry, what?"
Licht said, "Great, more trouble."
Mey said, "Well, I asked Brother, and he said sure, since the great God of Darkness is here, and well, here we are."
Liebe said, "I'm sorry I asked."
Alysa said, "Mey, how are you?"
Mey said, "I'm great. And what about you?"
And then Eosian's ship arrived, and after getting off, he came rushing to Alysa and hugged her.
Eosian said, "I missed you, Sis!"
Alysa said, "I missed you too!"
Liebe said, "Hey, kid, how you doin'?"
Eosian said, "Don't get close to me, half-breed!"
As the man beside him stated, "I'm Alem."
Liebe said, "Hello, I'm Liebe Faust."
Alem said, "As if I give a damn, half-breed. I'm only here as security for Eosian, and I came to check up on Mrs. Bouduin."
Alysa said, "Alem, how are you?"
Alem said, "I'm in good health."
Licht said, "How dare you talk like that?"
Alem said, "Do I have to spell it out for you, worm?"
Licht said, "How dare you call me a worm!"
As Alem drew his spear toward Licht, Liebe said, "Sorry, we got on the wrong foot. And well, I know you are a cat demi-human. We actually have a wolf demi-human amongst us. This is Isurugi; he is also a first-year."
Alem said, "What the hell is wrong with you? Just because we are demi-humans, you expect—"
Liebe said, "I'm sorry."
Alysa said, "Alem, stand down."
Alem said, "Sorry, my lady."
Finally, Aoi came and said, "Brother, is this a brawl? Can I join in too?"
Lumos said, "Do that, and I will throw you into the ocean."
Aoi said, "Ok then."
Alem said, "My lady, my work here is done. Please allow me to leave."
Alysa said, "Won't you at least stay till tomorrow for the first-years' ceremony?"
Alem said, "Unfortunately, I can't, since I have work. But I'm glad to see you are in good health, and I thank you for your generosity from the bottom of my heart."
Alysa said, "Ok then. And tell Father I'm doing great."
Alem said, "Will do. And please take care, my lady. And my sister is also joining you; if possible, check on her."
Alysa said, "I will."
And Alem left, while Aile, Eosian, and Nior were together.
Alysa said, "You three, please don't do anything stupid."
Eosian said, "Why?"
Aile said, "Understood."
They all were settled in Dorm 8.
The next day, it was time for the welcoming ceremony at 6 AM.
Liebe said, "Isurugi, you will give the speech."
Isurugi, as well as Elizabeth, said, "Understood, sir."
Elizabeth said, "I have to share, Brother?"
Liebe said, "Yeah, as they say, sharing is caring. But in the end, I want to see who becomes the next Fleet Admiral. Tomorrow's ceremony will be fun."
