As they were travelling and reached the waters of the Land of Sakura, their ships had to stop because of giant vortices in the water.
Licht said, "The ship can't go any further. We have to fly in."
As they heard a voice, "We heard about your arrival. Yet, in order to protect our culture, only the delegate Liebe Faust and his friend Alysa Bouduin are allowed."
Alysa said, "I get to go? Great! So what do we do first? Shopping, sightseeing, or eating, or meet the locals?"
Licht said, "None of that. Get in, talk to the Shogun, possibly say hi, ask for the peanuts, say thank you, leave."
Elizabeth said, "Why?"
Gelda said, "Because a member of the 25 Princes of Hell is in there, and if you displease anyone there, you won't make it alive. And the reason why he asked for Elizabeth is because she is the weakest, easiest to kill."
Fate said, "In our current situation, our hands are tied. It would be best if we don't enter for simple items such as peanuts."
Liebe said, "Regardless of what the item may be, I'm going in."
Fate said, "Allow me to accompany you, Maestro."
Liebe said, "Ok, let's go, all three of us." Liebe said, "Is that ok?"
The voice said, "It is acceptable."
Liebe said, "Great."
As they were about to fly, Liebe said, "Fate, do you also need wings?"
Fate said, "It is not required," as Fate simply began to walk on air.
Liebe said, "Air walk? Now that's something I don't see everyday."
Fate said, "Maestro, thanks to your Dark Magic, I'm able to use it as a platform and walk on air."
Liebe said, "Ok then, let's go."
As they flew to the nation of Sakura and went to its capital, the Cherry Blossom Capital, the streets were filled with pink cherry blossom trees.
Alysa said, "It's beautiful."
Fate said, "It is quite pleasant."
Liebe said, "Yeah, I must agree."
As they went to the castle, they entered and were before the Shogun.
The Shogun said, "I'm Kaito Kuga."
Liebe said, "I'm Liebe Faust."
Kaito said, "You must be curious why an old man such as myself is the Shogun while a member of the 25 Princes of Hell exists."
Liebe said, "How did you know? But again, anyone who comes might think the same thing, since it's quite a common question."
Kaito said, "It seems you have a good head on your shoulders."
Liebe said, "Thank you."
Kaito said, "Here are the peanuts," as he gave Liebe the peanuts.
Liebe said, "Thanks."
Kaito said, "Now leave."
Liebe said, "Ok then. Fate, Alysa, let's go."
As they followed him out of the castle, seeing them leave, Kaito laughed and said, "So, who will be the first to return?"
As they were walking through town, Alysa said, "We should grab something to eat first before leaving."
Fate said, "It would be nice to restore my calories."
Liebe said, "Sounds good to me."
As they were walking, Alysa bumped into someone.
Liebe said, "I'm sorry, she didn't see where she was going."
The man was tall with dark, short, messy hair in a blue kimono and said, "It's alright. Are you ok, miss?"
Alysa said, "I'm fine."
The man said, "You people don't look from around here."
Liebe said, "We are actually not. We had some business with the Shogun, and now we were going out for lunch, and then we will leave."
The man said, "I'm Hiro. If it's ok, I have a small shop nearby. I may not have the best ramen, but my udon might be worth trying."
Liebe said, "Of course, why not? I always wanted to try some udon."
As they went, the shop was named "Sea Dragon's Roar," and as they went in, the place was about 10 square meters and yet it was empty and tidy.
Hiro said, "Please sit down," as he used his water magic to make the udon. As he presented them with a bowl of udon each, the ramen felt beyond this world.
After eating, Liebe said, "Thank you, Mr. Hiro, for the ramen. How much do we owe you?"
Hiro said, "It's paid for, so no need."
Liebe said, "Thank you, Mr. Hiroto—I'm sorry, I mean Mr. Hiro."
Hiro just laughed and said, "Looks like the cat is out of the bag now."
Liebe said, "Yes."
Hiroto said, "So what gave it away?"
Liebe said, "Your precision when you made the ramen."
Hiroto said, "I should have figured."
Liebe said, "Now, battle me. I always wanted to fight a member of the 25 Princes of Hell."
Hiroto said, "Is that so? Let's go outside then."
As they went outside, Hiro said, "Before we begin, look there."
Liebe said, "Where?" As he looked, Hiroto simply grabbed him by the head and threw him, sending him flying as he screamed, "Don't come back! The udon was free for a reason!"
Hiroto said, "Miss, you two may leave now."
Alysa said, "Where did you throw him?"
Hiroto said, "Towards your ship, of course. I can't allow that lunatic's son be here much longer. It is because of her that we are a closed nation now."
Alysa said, "Ok then," as Alysa and Fate left.
Meanwhile, in the ship, Licht said, "Everyone, battle positions!" as Liebe crashed on the ship.
Licht said, "How badly did you mess it up that they literally threw you?"
Liebe said, "Great question."
As soon Alysa and Fate returned, Licht said, "Alysa, what did he do now?"
Alysa said, "Nothing much, actually. Just asked Mr. Hiroto for a fight, and he just straight up threw him."
Licht said, "Ok then, let's head home."
Liebe said, "And then celebrate at HQ like there is no tomorrow!"
As everyone screamed, "Yeahhh!"
