Chapter 313 - Licorice Falafel

As they set sail, after a while, Licht was sleeping on the deck. Everyone was staring.

Alyssa said, "Should we?"

Liebe said, "I have a better idea. Something far, far better."

Alyssa said, "That is?"

Liebe said, "Before we start, I have two questions: you still good at cutting paper, and did he use sunscreen?"

Alyssa said, "Yeah, and no."

Liebe said, "Perfect. Let's start. This is going to be funny."

When Licht woke up, he said, "Good morning, guys."

As everyone was laughing at him, trying to hide their laughter, he removed the paper from his face. Everyone was laughing. As Licht rushed to the washroom and saw his face, his face was covered in sunburns, except in certain spots where the paper was, and it seemed like a tattoo. The words on his face stated: 2.00 mm long virgin, marry with extra virgin olive oil.

Licht screamed, "Liebeeeee!"

Liebe said, "What happened now?"

As Licht and Alyssa came and said, "What happened?" And after seeing the non-sunburned spot on his face, it was hilarious.

Licht said, "What is this?"

Liebe said, "I don't know."

Licht said, "My face hurts from the sunburn, and now this."

Liebe said, "We tried to put up an umbrella, but you just kept rolling, so we used paper. Eventually, it got out of hand, and here we are."

Licht said, "You two, stop using my face for playing."

Alyssa said, "But you look nice."

Licht said, "Now, is this nice?"

Licht said, "Well, now if you propose to someone, they will know it's your first time."

Licht said, "And how will I know about them?"

Liebe said, "By asking."

Licht said, "This isn't funny."

Liebe said, "Of course it isn't. It's hilarious."

As they were at the deck again, Liebe was attacked. "Void Magic: Slash!" It was a girl. As the attack knocked Liebe back, Licht said, "Everyone, take defensive maneuvers!"

Alyssa said, "What the hell was that?"

Licht said, "Was that Aunt Lilith?"

Alyssa said, "No, the aura is different. Can't be. But the Void Magic—it's definitely the Faust's signature attribute."

Licht said, "I saw, and it turned part of the ship into dust."

Liebe said, "Who the hell are you?"

The person said, "I'm the great hero. Now, Void Magic: Abyssal Grand Blades!"

Liebe said, "Dark Magic: Black Grand Blades!" As their dual swords clashed, Liebe screamed, "Everyone, get inside! Iris, Isurugi, get everyone out! Lumos, Gaia, heal others! Alyssa and M, you are backup!"

Licht said, "Shucks. With my sword like this, how can I help?"

Mia said, "Here, sir. Your new blade."

Licht said, "This is?"

Mia said, "Your new rapier: the Crystalline Glass Fang, called Breath of Silver." As she threw the sword.

The other said, "Quite the hero. But face me!"

As Liebe was getting backed off, Licht said, "I'm coming!"

Liebe said, "Stay out of this!"

As they clashed, the ship itself was shaking.

Licht said, "Say that before destroying the ship."

Liebe said, "Where is the closest island?"

Licht said, "It's Zomo Island, 5 km north."

As during their clash, Liebe hit from below and used the opportunity to poke with his sword and said, "Dark Magic: Dark Impact!"

Aoi said, "Brother, I will help!"

Lumos said, "Stay here. It's serious; you can actually die. Let Liebe and the others handle this."

As with Liebe's pierce strike, she was knocked back.

Liebe said, "Licht!"

Licht said, "Got it. Licht Magic: Pierce, Tenfold Strike!"

Licht's continuous attacks were driving her back.

She said, "Stay the hell away from him! This is between me and the strong one!"

Licht said, "Usually, I have a habit of interfering in Liebe's fights, but this is an exception. I can't allow you two to fight here and destroy the ship."

Liebe said, "Alyssa, I'm taking this page from your book. Alyssa."

Licht said, "Go for it, Liebe."

Liebe said, "Dark Magic: Dark Cupid's Judgment," as he launched an arrow from a bow made of darkness. The person was sent flying.

Lumos said, "Is it over?"

Isurugi said, "Looks like it."

Liebe said, "It isn't," as Liebe, Licht, and Alyssa went after her.

Liebe said, "M, stay on the ship. Elizabeth, with us!"

As they flew away, Liebe continued to fight her mid-air till they cornered her on Zomo Island.

Liebe said, "Licht, Alyssa, let me do this."

The person said, "Now that's more like it. Fight me head-on!"

As the woman said, "Void Magic: Abyssal Gate!"

Liebe said, "Dark Magic: Abyssal Gate!" As they clashed head-on, they tried their best to fight.

The woman said, "Void Magic: Summon Holy Relic, Orb of Dominance!"

As they fought, Licht said, "No way. It can't be."

Alyssa said, "I'm seeing it too. It's the same Holy Relic."

Liebe said, "I don't know where the hell, but I won't lose now. Dark Magic: Endless Execution!"

As Liebe's speed, reaction speed, and precision increased greatly, the Orb of Dominance appeared behind him.

Liebe said, "Like hell that will work on me," as he tried to grab it.

The person said, "No point. He who tries to use it will turn to dust."

Liebe said, "Dark Rampage!" as he grabbed it and crushed it in the palm of his hand.

The woman said, "No way! Clash of Holy Relics means clash of wills. How is his will so strong?"

Liebe said, "I will show you in hell."

Licht said, "Something isn't right."

Just as Liebe was about to deliver the final blow, he hesitated and stopped, and the woman used the opportunity and won.

Licht said, "Liebe got his ass handed to him. Now that's rare."

Liebe said, "Frick."

The person looked at him and said, "Yup. Now I'm sure. Dad, I finally found you."

Liebe screamed, "What?!"

Licht said, "What? How? When?"

Alyssa said, "What? Who? Why?"

Liebe said, "What kid?"

The person said, "Well, I'm your daughter. That's it."

Liebe said, "Are you fricked in the head or something?"

Licht said, "Based on how much you sleep around, it makes sense. So, how old are you?"

The girl said, "17."

Liebe said, "How the hell is that supposed to make sense? I'm 17, and in hell's name, I did not get someone pregnant before being born."

Licht said, "Wait a second. Are you Liebe's daughter?"

The person said, "Yes."

Licht said, "Well, she is telling the truth. I don't detect any lies. Combine that with her Holy Relic, her magic attribute, and also, you two literally look like siblings."

Liebe said, "Wait," as he grabbed her by the face and pulled it.

The person said, "Stop!"

Liebe said, "Frick. Well, that failed."

Licht said, "And what exactly were you trying to do?"

Liebe said, "Checking if it was the Mask of Ifrit, mythical model Loki, so someone transformed, etc., etc."

Licht said, "It's not. And it's time you started to take responsibility as a father."

Liebe said, "Huhhhhh, what?"

Alyssa said, "Who is your mother? Also, if she is bad, can I be your new mother? I don't mind."

The person said, "Nope. And actually, the thing is, I know you may not believe me, and it's hard to believe, but I'm from the future."

Liebe said, "Thank god."

Licht said, "Great."

Alyssa said, "Who is your mother?"

The person said, "Actually, I don't remember. She died when I was a kid."

Licht said, "Heard of me in the future?"

Elizabeth said, "Wait, I'm an aunt? Do you know me?"

The person said, "No, no. I think you all are dead in the future. And pretty sure my mother's name is something along the lines of Alice, Ally, or something like that."

As Licht and Elizabeth cried in the corner, "We are dead in the future."

Alyssa hugged her and said, "I don't know if in the future I'm your mother or not, but I know it's hard to be without one. So here, in case your mother wasn't able to hug you."

The person teared up and said, "Thanks, Mom."

Liebe said, "Well, either way, why are you here? And by the way, I'm Liebe Faust."

The person said, "Wait, you are Liebe Faust?"

Liebe said, "Yeah. And what's your name?"

The person said, "My name is… my name is… my name is… I forgot what my name is."

Everyone said, "Huhhhhh, what?"

The person said, "Well, just kidding."

Liebe said, "Oh, good. Now, what's your name?"

The person said, "My name is… my name is…"

Liebe, Licht, Alyssa, and Elizabeth thought, Wow, she really did forget her own name. Great.

Licht said, "Not sure about the daughter part, but you are definitely related to Liebe."

Liebe said, "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

The person said, "Now I remember. My name is… Li… Li… Li… Lichee Falafel."

Liebe said, "Great. Either you don't know your name, or my dumbass self named a kid after a food."

Licht said, "Don't cry, Liebe."

Liebe said, "I'm disappointed in my future self."

Alyssa said, "It's cute. Lichee."

Lichee said, "Uhh, thanks," as she punched Liebe in the gut. She said, "That's for sleeping around when I have such a nice mom."

Licht said, "Wow, this is gold. Liebe getting his ass handed to him."

Liebe said, "Dang, that hurt."

Licht said, "Better than being dead like me."

Liebe said, "Either way, why are you here?"

Licht said, "Wait up. Let me spoil my goddaughter. I may be dead."

Liebe said, "Shut up. You are supposed to be dead."

Alyssa said, "So, what's the future like?"

Lichee said, "Boring. Whenever I try to do something fun, people say laws and all. But Dad lets me mess around before people are like, 'Witch! Criminal!' Then I annoy them."

Alyssa said, "Here, one more hug," and said, "If you feel lonely and your dad is annoying, come back here to our time. We can hang out."

Lichee said, "Deal, Mommy."

Liebe said, "But seriously, why are you here?"

Lichee said, "Here," as she gave a note. The note said:

Kid, you have already destroyed three villages and two islands, and you are supposed to be a hero. It's time you learned how to be an adult. Since your father is far too lenient with you, I have no choice. I'm sending you back to the past to learn from the hero of that generation—the hero who learned to crawl back up no matter what, the true hero. You can learn a thing or two from him. I'm sealing your memories partially. Also, I will come to take you back when the time is right or when i feel like it or when you have learnt your lesson.

Alyssa hugged her and said, "That's sad," and hugged her.

Lichee said, "I don't mind staying, especially with a mom who loves to spoil me rotten."

Licht said, "Then let's get back to the ship and get you something to eat."

Alyssa said, "What do you want to eat, dear?"

Lichee said, "Anything that's chicken."

Elizabeth said, "Great. I will get you a room."

Liebe said, "Are you planning to spoil her rotten?"

All three of them said, "Shut up. We are supposed to be dead. Let us spoil the kid."

Liebe said, "Fine."

As they went back and when they reached the deck of the ship, everyone was staring since Liebe and Lichee looked so similar.

Obsidian said, "Who have we…?"

As Professor Otiz, Serena, and Obsidian saw Lichee, they had their mouths open.

Obsidian said, "Is that… no way… why here?"

Otiz said, "It's the same monster."

Serena said, "Oh god, oh god. The nightmare is a reality. The teen years are back."

As Obsidian screamed, "Everyone, abandon ship! Run for your lives!" as Obsidian, Otiz, and Serena jumped off the ship.

Lichee said, "They look so familiar."

Liebe said, "I have no idea. By the way, do you recall any names?"

Lichee said, "The only name I can think of is Gelda."
