Meanwhile, at Exist Forger HQ
Elizabeth stated, "Captain, excuse me for a second."
Lucifer said, "Sure."
Outside, she used her shadow magic. "Shadow Magic: Grey Allies." She teleported to the Celestial Being Branch in the Capital.
Back with Licht…
Licht said, "Damn, Alysa. Your food still tastes as good as ever. I'm considering moving the Corefury Capital Branch next to yours, just so my people can enjoy this food."
Elizabeth appeared behind him and said, "I'm sorry to state this, Captain Licht, but we already have that covered. The Grandmaster has already approved the budget for the shift in branch location. The building is almost done. Also, Miss Alysa—that smells delicious."
Alysa said, "Thank you. And by the way, here's your favorite—chicken cashew salad. Also, why are you here? Why didn't you bring your captain too?"
Elizabeth said, "Well… you know how he is nowadays. He's just tired and stressed. He's been working 24/7 for the last few months without any sleep, using his magic to take care of everything."
Licht said, "By the way, Elizabeth, can you take care of the trash who tried to assassinate me?"
Alysa said, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Should we, like, feed him before sending him away?"
Anew and Astrea just looked at each other.
Astrea said, "The strong are weird."
Anew said, "Yeah… they're so strong, even feeding an assassin who tried to kill them a second ago seems like nothing to them."
Alysa said, "Elizabeth, enjoy your food. But can you teleport me to your HQ so I can bring an idiot here who probably forgot to eat in the last 4 or 5 days—or months?"
Elizabeth teleported Alysa to the Exist Forger HQ lobby. Then she went to Lucifer's office, took a deep breath, and knocked on his door.
