Scene: Precious names all the spiders and returns home. Then he rests peacefully. After a few days, it's Lior's birthday.

Precious: Hey Lior.
Lior: Hey Precious!
Precious: It's your birthday today!
Lior: Really?!
Precious: Yes!
Kin: Happy Birthday, Lior!
Lior: T-T-Today is really my birthday?! YAYY!
Guzy: Master Lior, Happy Birthday!
Lior: Thanks everyone! Today, I'm someone special. I'm 1 year old now. Just 4 more years and I’ll be able to learn sword art!
Precious: -_- Yeah, totally.
Lior: YAYY!

Scene: Some time later, Lior goes to Guzy, who is in the garden.
Lior: Guzy! Guzy! It's my birthday today!
Guzy: Yes, Master, I know. I even wished you.
Lior: That’s fine, but I’ve heard you can get whatever you wish for on your birthday.
Guzy: Oh, so you want a gift? If it’s within my power, I’ll give it to you. What do you want?
Lior: Sword Art training!
Guzy: No! You still have 4 more years!
Lior: But it’s in your hands, and today is my birthday. You can’t say no!
Guzy: But you’re still very small!
Lior: I know I’m small, but if I start now, I’ll learn a lot by the time I’m 5!
Guzy: Hmm… that’s true.
Lior: So then, promise?
Guzy: Fine, I’ll start teaching you, but first you need permission from Ma’am or Master.
Lior: Whyyy though?!
Guzy: That’s the rule. If they give permission, I’ll train you. Otherwise, wait until you’re 5.
Lior: Okay, I’ll get the permission… hmm...
Guzy: Hehehe.

Scene: Lior goes inside the house and asks his mom for permission.
Lior: Mommy! Mommy! Please give me permission to learn sword art! If you don’t, Guzy won’t teach me!
Kin: But Lior, you’re too small right now. You can’t learn yet. Wait until you’re 5.
Lior: But Mommy, if I start now, I’ll learn a lot by the time I’m 5. Please!
Kin: Hmm… that’s true...
Kin (thinking): Why are all my kids so unique? But that’s what makes them special.
Kin: Okay then, you can learn.
Lior: Thank you, Mommy!

Scene: Lior returns to Guzy.
Lior: Guzy! Mommy gave me permission!
Guzy: Really… Ma’am gave permission? I don’t believe it.
Lior: But it’s true!
Guzy: You’re lying just so you can train.
Lior: If you don’t believe me, ask her yourself!
Guzy: Hmm… if you're that confident, fine.
Lior: YES!
Guzy: But I’m a tough teacher!
Lior: I don’t mind!
Guzy: Okay then, let’s start practicing in the evening.

Scene: It's evening. Lior and Guzy are in the garden. Pizu is watching them. Lior and Guzy both have wooden swords.
Guzy: Let’s start with the basics.
Lior: Hmm.
Guzy: Then we’ll move on to sword magic. But first, focus on the basics.
Lior: Yes, Teacher!
Guzy: Don’t call me “Master.”
Lior: Then “Teacher”?
Guzy: That’s fine.
Lior: Yes, Teacher!
Guzy: See, you can use the sword with both hands or just one. It depends on what you’re comfortable with.
Lior: Got it!

Scene: Precious is also watching them.
Precious (thinking): What’s all this going on...?
Guzy: First, practice using both hands.
Lior: Yes, Teacher!
Guzy: Not like that. Hold it this way.
Lior: Yes!
Guzy: Then strike like this. Also try to follow through with your attack.
Lior: Yes, Teacher!
Guzy: You’re still too slow. Swing faster!
Lior: Yes, Teacher!
Precious (thinking): Lior’s done for. Looks like it… hahahaha!

Scene: Lior is still practicing, Guzy is instructing, Pizu has fallen asleep nearby, and Precious continues to watch them. Then Kin’s voice is heard.
Kin: Precious, Lior, dinner is ready! Come in. Guzy, feed Pizu too.
Precious: Yes, Mommy. I’m coming!
Lior: Finally, a break… uff.
Guzy: That’s enough for today. Pizu, let’s eat.
Pizu: Fwaaauff!
Lior: Mommy, Guzy really tired me out today!
Kin: Then stop practicing sword art.
Lior: No!
Tall: If he made up his mind, he’ll do it. Right, Lior?
Lior: Absolutely!
Precious: Haa...

Precious (thinking): Hmm… I just remembered, God said I’d have a big sister. But I haven’t seen her all year. No one has mentioned her either. Why? Something's off. I need to find out.

Kin: What’s wrong, Precious? What are you thinking about?
Precious: Nothing, really.
Tall: Then come eat.
Precious: Hmm...
