As Liebe returned to the hotel, carried Licht, and placed him on the bed, he said, "Good night, old friend. See you in the morning." As he scratched Fang under the chin and said, "Good job, buddy. We have work tomorrow. Get some rest." Fang growled and went away.
Liebe said, "Dark Magic: Dark Castling!" As he teleported to Alysa's room. "Now, Dark Magic: Zero Sign!" As he turned invisible and sat beside her on her bed.
He said, "Please just forget me and move on. You have suffered enough as is. I know there is someone out there who will love you—someone who isn't me. But no matter what, tonight under the moonlight, right now, for me, you are the most beautiful woman in the world. I yearn to hold you, but I'm scared. It's for the best." As he removed some hair from her mouth.
Liebe said, "I know what I did to you is unforgivable—changing reality so that you can forget me. What would you have done if you knew? If you knew what I did? Probably yell at me, cry, hold me, call me stupid, join Licht and annoy me, yet somehow convince me not to go through with it. But at that moment, seeing your pain was unbearable. I—"
He paused. "No, it's for the best. I don't regret it in the slightest."
As Alysa woke up and sat on her bed, she said, "What happened? Why am I here? I swear I was in the Abyssal Zone just a moment ago. Wait, now I remember." As she put on her shoes and ran out.
Liebe followed her as she went to Stella and said, "Stella, my girl, please talk to me. I know you can. I promise I won't tell anyone. I swear. I will give you plenty of strawberries."
As invisible Liebe saw it from behind, he almost laughed out loud as he covered his mouth and thought, *Come on, Liebe, this isn't funny. It isn't funny. OK, yeah right, it's hilarious.*
As Stella licked Alysa:
Alysa said, "Come on, pretty please. Just talk to me. You don't need to have multiple PhDs, master's, or bachelor's degrees like his dragon. Just talk to me."
As she spent 5 hours trying to make Stella talk, finally at 6 AM she gave up and went away. For 5 hours, Liebe struggled for his life to try and hold in his laughter just so she wouldn't notice it was him.
Liebe said, "Deactivate." And turned visible.
As Stella hissed:
Liebe said, "Whoa, whoa, girl. Easy there." As he removed his mask and said, "Remember this handsome face, girl."
As Stella growled, Liebe threw a strawberry and Stella ate it. Liebe scratched her under the chin and said, "Well, Fang is doing good. Kinda grew a bit, but you know. Also, I'm sorry for that, you know—the 5 hours trying to make you talk thing."
As Stella growled in a way that basically meant, *You did this? Of course you did. Only a bastard like you could think of this.*
Liebe said, "Yeah, yeah, I know. Still as handsome as ever. The fan girls are a lot, I swear. Don't worry, the harem is still in progress. I'm still as fuckable as ever."
As Stella growled, which basically meant, *You're not handsome. And stop sleeping around, you perv.*
As Liebe stood up, Alysa entered with Stella's breakfast fruits. Liebe turned invisible. Alysa put her fruit bowl in front of Stella.
Alysa, now depressed and weakly, said, "Any chance you will talk now? Pretty please?"
As Stella, in a perfectly lady-like voice, said, "Good morning, Alysa. Breakfast looks delicious."
Alysa said, "Huhhh? You can talk?"
Stella said, "Yes. Your words touched my heart, and I'm deeply touched by your words. But I can't talk more than 115 seconds a day, and that's why I always try to save it for emergencies."
Alysa said, "Huhhh? What? Why?"
Stella said, "Yes, these strawberries and bananas look delicious. Thank you for breakfast. One of these days, I would like to join you for dinner and talk about geopolitics."
As Alysa said, "What?"
And now Stella growled.
Alysa said, "Oh, guess 115 seconds are up now. But wow, you really can speak."
As Alysa left, Liebe turned visible and burst out laughing, saying, "Wow, she really believed it? How? I swear, I literally just tried my best to mimic the voice of a lady. But guess I was convincing, huh?"
As Stella let out a growl that basically stated, *You are the worst. Why would you do that?*
Liebe said, "Well, guess I'm off now." As Liebe was leaving, he threw another strawberry and said, "Take care of her for me, girl."
