Liebe said, "By the way, Lichee, if it's okay with you, do you mind sharing a room with Fate and Gaia?"
Licht said, "Sure."
Fate said, "I have no complaints with that arrangement."
Gaia said, "Yeah, a new roommate!"
Liebe said, "Well, great to see you all are getting along."
Later that night, at 3 a.m., as Liebe entered their room, he whispered, "Yoo, Lichee, wake up."
Lichee said, "Who? What?"
Liebe said, "It's me."
Lichee woke up and said, "Who?" as she tried to attack. Liebe stopped her with his darkness.
Liebe said, "It's me, Liebe."
Lichee said, "Oh. What time is it? Let me sleep."
Liebe said, "Yeah, I have ice cream."
Lichee said, "3 a.m. ice cream? Great."
Liebe said, "What flavor do you want? I have chocolate, vanilla, mango, and strawberry."
Lichee said, "Chocolate."
Liebe said, "Okay."
As they started to enjoy their cups of ice cream, there was about 4 liters.
Liebe said, "Also, don't tell Alyssa. She will get mad for spoiling you. Okay? I was never here."
Lichee said, "Sure."
Liebe said, "Now to hide the evidence," as he destroyed the container.
The next night at 3 a.m., someone said, "Lichee, wake up, wake up."
Lichee said, "Oh, Dad, it's you?"
The voice said, "I'm not Dad."
As Lichee tried to attack, she was blocked. Alyssa said, "It's me, Alyssa. I got ice cream. Want some? I bought too much."
Lichee said, "Sure."
Alyssa said, "I got chocolate and strawberry."
As they finished their 5 liters of ice cream, Alyssa said, "Now to hide the evidence. Nothing better than destroying it."
Lichee said, "Yeah."
Alyssa said, "Also, don't tell Liebe. He will be mad that I'm spoiling you, okay?"
The next night, it was Liebe again. The night after that, it was Alyssa. And the next night, it was Liebe. As Liebe and Lichee were eating, Alyssa entered.
Alyssa looked at Lichee and Liebe and said, "What is the meaning of this?"
In fear, Liebe said, "Nothing! Nothing at all! It's all her fault—she dragged me here. Please forgive me."
Alyssa said, "Liebe, stop making excuses."
Liebe said, "Okay, then. Why have you been spoiling her?"
Alyssa said, "How did you know? What? Me? Plain old me? Of course I haven't."
Liebe said, "The ice cream is literally dripping behind you."
Alyssa said, "This… umm… this is… I just found it on the ground."
Liebe said, "A box of 10 liters of ice cream that is specifically chocolate, matcha, mango—exactly what you like? Yeah, yeah, it was definitely a coincidence, Alyssa. It isn't that rare."
Liebe said, "How about we call a truce for tonight?"
Alyssa said, "Okay."
As the three of them sat on the bed and ate ice cream and kept talking till morning, later, Liebe said, "Wait, so you have been coming here night after night, with one night in between?"
Alyssa said, "Yeah."
Liebe said, "I have been doing the same thing."
Alyssa said, "So we had the same idea."
Liebe said, "We both have been spoiling her rotten for the past week."
Alyssa said, "I guess."
Liebe said, "Both of you are in big trouble after this."
Alyssa said, "But why me?"
Liebe said, "Because I said so. But let's not ruin the moment. It's far too much fun."
While they were talking, Licht and M walked in and said, "You three have some explaining to do."
Liebe said, "Of course. These two were having ice cream at 3 a.m., and when I tried to stop them, they bribed me."
M said, "Liebe, we have been waiting all day for you."
Liebe said, "What?"
Licht said, "It's 2 p.m.—lunchtime."
Liebe said, "You two go ahead. I'm gonna sleep for a bit. I'm too tired right now."
Licht said, "Fine, but remember at 5 p.m. we have to return to HQ."
Liebe said, "Oh, yeah, I remember. Big Sis is coming back today."
Alyssa said, "Oh, yeah. Today is the day. It's been what—two years since we last saw her?"
Liebe said, "Yeah, and she is finally returning to HQ. I can finally beat her and claim my title as the strongest."
Lichee said, "Who exactly is this 'Big Sis'?"
Alyssa said, "Oh, I guess you haven't heard. She is Lia Scarlet Tatania. She is like really hot and has big boobs—ahem—and crimson hair, and one of the Black Rose elites. She has been like a big sister to all of us. Her magic is just crimson flame—like blood-colored, but it's beautiful. And one of the Black Rose elites besides Eldrie and Lara. Fate, wait—Stal isn't an elite."
Liebe said, "No, he isn't."
Licht said, "Trust me, she is strong. I want to challenge her to a fight myself."
Liebe said, "Yeah, fighting her as a kid was so much fun, yet I never won. But it's time to change it for the better. Now that I'm a Tier 1 S-Class Knight like her, I will win."
M said, "Yeah, I heard the name Scarlet Tatania, but is she really that strong?"
Licht said, "Yeah, she is. It's like she is addicted to desserts and likes cute things and stuff, but she is a beast, alright. Back in the day, even Alyssa, Liebe, and I couldn't beat her even together. And Elizabeth would just hide. And she is also kinda the reason we ended up spoiling Elizabeth. Whenever she was around, Elizabeth was spoiled, and we were too scared to say anything. Only Gelda could say something, and most times she would watch."
M said, "Describe her to me in one story."
Liebe said, "Well, when I was eight, one day she took us on an easy mission—nothing dangerous, just a simple scouting mission—and we…"
Licht said, "What do you mean 'we'? It was you. Just you."
Liebe said, "Well, when she was sleeping, I drew a mustache on her, and the next morning, I swear to God, I saw Dad and Grandpa."
Licht said, "You might as well have. She beat the living shit out of you."
Liebe said, "Hey, I ran for my life."
Licht said, "If Alyssa didn't whip up any desserts, Liebe would have actually joined Uncle Tenebris and Grandpa Dorm."
Liebe said, "I don't disagree."
Lichee said, "Can I fight her?"
Liebe said, "Do you have a death wish or something? But again, overall, she is our loving big sis, and we look up to her as a person. Ohhhhhhhhh Goddddddd! Oh, good—she is gonna murder everyone."
Licht said, "Frick. What do we do? How do we tell her?"
Alyssa said, "Great, great, great. We are going to die."
Lichee said, "Why? What happened?"
Licht said, "Well, Eldrie and Nora are in a relationship, getting engaged. Alyssa and Liebe are in a relationship, and no one told her. And like, she is basically a nerd. Yup, she is going to execute us."
Liebe said, "We are dead."
Alyssa said, "Well, now we know why we don't exist in the future."
Licht said, "We are dead. So, so dead. Wait, wait. Then why the hell is Liebe alive? And like, it doesn't make sense."
Alyssa said, "Wait, we have one way to settle this. Lichee, who is your godparent?"
Lichee said, "I don't remember."
Liebe said, "Listen, if she asks about your godparent, say Lia Scarlet. Otherwise, we will be dead. And with her, there is no chance of a revival. She will send us 6,000 feet under—no chance of getting out."
Licht said, "Great. I wasn't the godparent."
Liebe said, "You want to be the godparent more than alive? No wonder you aren't there."
As all three of them said, "We are dead. So, so dead."
Liebe said, "By the way, I have found a way to make sure if Lichee is your daughter or not."
