After dinner, Liebe goes to Domr's office.
Domr said, "Did you do what I asked today, Liebe?"
Liebe said, "Yes, Captain. We did. Team Liebe completes another successful mission as the strongest team in the world."
Domr said, "Good, good."
Liebe said, "We snuck out of Gelda's lessons and got the 48 grapes from the garden and ate them before snack time."
Domr said, "Good, good. Congrats on another successful mission. And did you make sure each member got 12?"
Liebe said, "Yup."
Domr said, "Good, good. Now let's celebrate."
Liebe said, "Yeahhhh!"
As Domr brought out donuts from his secret stash, they were stuffing their mouths.
Domr said, "Nothing beats donuts after dinner."
Liebe said, "Yup. These are good."
Domr said, "They better be. I kept them for an emergency."
As from behind, a shadow silhouette is seen. They said, "So this is what you have been doing behind my back?"
As Domr and Liebe looked back in fear:
Liebe said, "Ummm, these donuts are sour and bitter. Yucky."
Domr said, "This isn't what it looks like. We are just doing a food safety check."
As Lilith said, "For so long, I have been searching for it, Dad. Your little secret stash, huh?"
Domr said, "Umm, any chance I can convince you I found these lying on the floor?"
Lilith said, "No. And give me that." As she also started digging in.
Now Liebe and Lilith were engaged in a head-to-head competition on who could eat more. In 15 minutes, the secret stash became burps. Lilith won with 335 and Liebe lost with 123.
Liebe said, "Well, I'm stuffed now. Time for my bedtime story."
Lilith said, "Same here. Guess we should get going on the bedtime story."
As now Domr was horrified, seeing his life's few worldly possessions reduced to nothing.
As Gelda tucked Liebe, Alysa, and Licht in bed, she took Elizabeth to bed.
Lilith said, "OK, now, be quiet. What story do you want?"
Liebe said, "The one where you punched the bandit in the face."
Alysa said, "I want the one where you fought the giant fish."
Licht said, "I want to hear the one where you and Dad destroyed that church."
Lilith said, "How about this story instead? It's a story passed down as a Mikill folk story. Long ago, the world was at peace as humanity was guided by angels. Yet the land of Mikill—the nation of giants, endless cold and eternal war—remained on a different path. As it was ruled by the All-Father Odin and the God of Thunder Thor. Yet among the angels, the ones with the highest authority were known as Seraphim. And one of these Seraphim came to Mikill, yet fell for a warrior of deception. Yet they were not accepted by heaven. So the warrior's greatest power was stripped away from him as he was imprisoned beneath layer upon layer of ice. As his power was used to turn her into a monster of insatiable hunger. As they were cursed to roam the world for eternity till they found each other once more."
Liebe said, "What does 'fell for' here mean? Did she fall off a cliff?"
Alysa said, "I think here 'fell for' means fell in love."
Liebe said, "How do you fall in love?"
Alysa said, "Don't know."
Lilith said, "Good night, you three." As she turned off the lights.
Alysa said, "So what's our mission for tomorrow?"
Liebe said, "We are supposed to get apples."
Alysa said, "OK."
Liebe said, "Licht really is a nice body pillow."
Alysa said, "I know."
Liebe said, "Good thing he is asleep and doesn't mind."
Licht said, "I am awake because you two are squishing me, and I do mind."
Alysa said, "Yup, he doesn't mind at all."
Liebe said, "Good night."
