Meanwhile, in the kitchen, after Licht told what he did, Alysa screamed, "What?! What the hell is wrong with you? You literally sent her to Aunt Lilith!"
Licht said, "If it's any comfort, it was her idea."
Alysa said, "Are you trying to get her killed or something?"
Licht said, "No, I was trying to teach her why we respect Liebe and why found family is better than blood family, etc., etc."
Alysa said, "We are her blood family!"
Licht said, "But I'm not, so, you know…"
Alysa said, "Getting her killed isn't helping! You literally served her on a silver platter to one of the 25 Princes of Hell—and specifically the one who hates her guts and wants to kill her!"
Licht said, "Don't worry. She said she went to apologize, and she also did say, no matter what, Lilith Faust can't kill her."
Alysa said, "Stop repeating Liebe's dialogues; it isn't helping! And apologize to whom? I'm pretty sure before she can even use the 'A' in 'apology,' she will be apologizing to God. Now get her back! Oh God, it's already been two hours and 35 minutes since you left! What do I do?"
Licht said, "Stop worrying. And for someone who is supposed to be 17, like me, I swear to God, you look 90."
Alysa said, "And whose fault is that?"
Licht said, "Don't worry. She is with Gelda, and, well, I'm sure she is safe."
Alysa said, "I swear to God, if something happens—"
Licht said, "Yeah, yeah. But more importantly, I got the lab tests back of her blood work. She isn't related to you in the slightest. There are no traces, but rather she has so much similarity to Aunt Lilith that they might as well be the same person."
Alysa said, "I don't care! I don't care about genetics! Even if she isn't biologically mine from the future, or even if she is someone else's, I consider her my own. Just because she is Liebe's daughter from the future, I think no differently. If necessary, we will adopt."
Licht said, "Think practically for once! How old are you? 17, like me. Same as her. Same as Liebe. Adopting someone now means ruining your lives. Even if you get married and have kids, what will you do then, huh? It will just get in the way of your future."
Alysa said, "If having kids will be a problem, then we don't want kids in the future."
Licht said, "That girl—she isn't from our era. She doesn't belong here. She was sent to learn a lesson. Adopt her, and when she learns the lesson and has to return to her own time, what will you do then? Still keep her here and cause a paradox?"
Alysa said, "I don't know."
Licht said, "Having someone is good—a friend, a family—even better. But despite knowing she isn't here to stay in our time…"
Alysa said, "I know."
Licht said, "We can and should help her, but we shouldn't expect she will stay. And from what she said, we all have already failed and died—just Liebe remains. So the least we can do is just help Lichee become who she wants to be and ensure the future isn't burned down to the ground."
Isurugi said, "As members of Team Liebe, it is our sworn duty."
M said, "We will clash head-on and win. Destiny won't keep us down."
Fate said, "We will give our all, and no matter the threat, we will neutralize it."
Gaia said, "We will do it."
Elizabeth said, "If Liebe is the only one who lives to see it, we will ensure it's so bright he will have to live in it."
Licht said, "Now that's the goddamn spirit! Team Liebe, let's stay ready. No matter what, it may arrive now or 30 years later, but we will not ignore it!"
As everyone screamed, "Yeah!"
Then, a portal opened up, and Lichee came through. Gelda said, "Well, everyone, here is your lost child."
Licht said, "Thanks for babysitting her."
Gelda said, "Of course."
Lichee said, "Well, that was fun."
Alysa said, "Good. And never do that again. And I'm never letting Licht babysit you again. From now on, Isurugi, you watch her."
Isurugi said, "Of course."
Lichee said, "But Licht is so much fun."
Alysa said, "Yeah, fun, and you almost went six feet under today because of him."
Licht said, "Me? But what did I do?"
Alysa said, "A lot of stupid things. I see now why you are not the godparent."
Licht said, "Come on, pretty please, Ally! We are best friends. I even helped you and Liebe get together, so pretty, pretty please?"
Alysa said, "I will think about it."
Licht said, "Uhhh, thanks."
Alysa said, "Now, we are ready for dinner. Just wait for Liebe to get back."
Licht said, "Oh yeah, we have to apologize."
Alysa said, "Yeah. Let's hope."
After a few minutes, "Dark Magic: Dark Castling!" as Liebe teleported in.
Liebe said, "Now then, start talking."
Alysa and Licht said, "We are sorry! We are so sorry! We didn't know it was so important to you. We didn't want to disappoint you. We just wanted to have some fun, and it was all Lichee's idea, we swear!"
Liebe said, "And you two are supposed to be adults with common sense."
Alysa and Licht said, "We know! We are sorry! We are so, so sorry! We will do anything you ask. Anything. Please don't be mad."
Liebe said, "Anything?"
Licht said, "Yeah, yeah, anything."
Liebe said, "Get ready."
Licht said, "For what? Where are we going?"
Liebe said, "We are going for 'two spoons.'"
Licht said, "Not that! Please, not that! Please, no! I want to die with dignity! I already lost all of it!"
Liebe said, "Good. It's zero, not in the negatives yet. Let's go, dumbass."
Licht said, "Anything! Anything else! Please!"
Liebe said, "It wasn't a negotiation."
Licht said, "Yes, sir! Let's go! But please don't tell Iris or Mai about this."
Liebe said, "Let's go. Dark Magic: Dark Castling!"
Alysa said, "Hey, wait for me!"
Lichee said, "Wait, I'm coming, too!"
As they also teleported…
Then, Liebe and Licht went to a fancy, very, very expensive restaurant—like, the best in the nation level. As Licht and Liebe sat down, Alysa and Lichee sat down in a seat a bit far away and watched.
Lichee said, "So, what exactly is 'two spoons'?"
Alysa said, "It is basically Liebe's life goal for the past five years or something. You don't know how long he waited for this."
Lichee said, "But why does he need Licht?"
Alysa said, "It's a guy's wingman thing. Personally, I'm a better wingwoman, but let's see."
As a waitress came and said, "What can I get you?"
Liebe said, "For me, I would like to start with the Beef Wellington."
Licht said, "I will have the same."
As the waitress left, Licht said, "Dude, why are we doing 'two spoons' here? This place is nice and expensive. Literally, a drink here costs 30 gold—that's enough for people to pay rent."
Liebe said, "Eat up. And for dessert, we are doing 'two spoons.'"
Meanwhile, at Alysa's table, Lichee said, "What should I get?"
Alysa said, "Get whatever. Everything. This is on me. Damn it, I can't hear what they are talking about. I should have brought my binoculars."
Lichee said, "Don't mind if I do." As she told the waitress to bring everything except the fishes and drinks.
Alysa said, "And for me, Beef Wellington. And make sure the drinks are alcoholic."
The waitress took the order and left.
As they were eating, the waitress asked, "Ma'am, can I get you something?"
Alysa said, "A pair of binoculars. Here is 100 gold."
The waitress awkwardly said, "Sure," and left.
In a few minutes, Alysa got her binoculars.
Then, after Liebe and Licht were done eating, the waitress asked, "Can I get you anything for dessert?"
Liebe said, "You."
As Licht awkwardly looked at Liebe in a "no," Liebe looked back in a "do it or I will murder you and see your organs for the bill."
Licht said, "And please bring two spoons. Even though we have forks, unfortunately, forks aren't suited for desserts."
As the waitress awkwardly left, Liebe just laughed and said, "Damn, didn't think you had the balls."
Licht said, "That was literally the worst pickup line in the world. Why did I say it?"
Liebe said, "Damn."
Seeing Licht's red face, Lichee said, "Wow, that was it? That was something Liebe was five years on convincing Liebe to do? I don't know what to say."
Alysa said, "It was hilarious. Licht really doesn't know how to flirt."
Lichee said, "I can clearly say that."
Licht said, "How far have I fallen?"
As the waitress came, Liebe said, "Please give us our bill. And we will also be covering the bill for that table over there."
Lichee said, "That was delicious."
Alysa said, "Yeah. If you liked it so much, I would make it sometimes."
Lichee said, "Okay."
As the waitress said, "The man over there wants to pay your bill."
Alysa said, "Sure."
As Liebe paid the bill, Licht said, "How do you afford this? It's 750 gold."
Liebe said, "I'm financially stable enough to eat here three times a day for the next 50 years with my current financial status."
Licht said, "Now I have to ask—what the hell do you do?"
Liebe said, "That's a secret."
Outside the restaurant, as all four of them were walking, Alysa said, "Licht, you did great. You at least made a somewhat attempt at flirting."
Licht said, "Please don't."
Liebe said, "Attempt, yes. But after how he said it, I'm surprised the waitress didn't just take a knife and kill us."
Alysa said, "Yeah. 'Bring two spoons since we have forks, but we can't use them for dessert'? It's a classic."
Licht said, "So, at least you're a little less disappointed in us, right?"
Liebe said, "Disappointed? What do you mean? I wasn't disappointed in the least. I was literally trying to hold back my laughter back in the temple when you guys came back in."
Alysa said, "Wait, then what about the part, 'I'm not mad, I'm disappointed'?"
Liebe said, "Oh, that? Yeah, since Lia was watching, I had to act like that."
Licht said, "Wait, so—"
Liebe said, "Yeah, I was trying to save my own skin from big sis, or I would also be thrown off the cliff like you guys."
As Licht stared at him, he said, "Alysa, cover Lichee's eyes. I'm going to murder him!"
As Licht chased him, Liebe just laughed and ran.
Alysa just ran and said, "Slow down, Licht, or you might not have any stamina for what happens after the flirting."
Licht said, "Shut up! Don't encourage him!"
Alysa said, "Told ya I'm his wingwoman."
Licht said, "Don't make me punch you, too."
Alysa said, "Why? The waitress was hot."
Licht said, "You two really aren't being very great examples for a kid."
Lichee said, "Why? What happens after flirting?"
Alysa said, "Licht, do it with the waitress and show Lichee."
Licht said, "Oh, hell no!"
As he bonked Alysa on the head, he said, "Liebe, I will get you back for that even if it kills me! No matter what!"
