"Wow!"

Confined to the box, Jela let out a reluctant protest but ultimately couldn't resist Liszt's discipline and obediently settled down for a deep sleep.
Only then did Liszt find time to mount the Landwalker bird Loki and head towards the seaside castle.
Ach wasn't in the castle, and neither was the Rainbow Whale Rose. Only the Giant Algae Greater Elf Pike, along with three Giant Algae Minor Elves and eight Giant Algae Elf Bugs, were freely swimming in the pool.
Upon seeing Liszt arrive, Pike opened his sharp-toothed mouth wide and laughed heartily, "Whoa, Liszt, you're back! Ach said you were at war. Did you win? Pike has never lost a battle in the sea. Do you want me to teach you?"
"Thanks, Pike," Liszt reached out and shook hands with Pike, "but I fight on land, and so far, I haven't lost there either."
"Haha, just like Pike, handsome Liszt is an expert in battle. We're both masters of war."
"Indeed."
