"Remember comrade, arrive at Voltaire Castle in one piece, nobody should know we're chibi and nobody should know we're running away - that is our objective. The name of this mission is 'Operation: Freedom'. Any questions so far?" Gwendal asked in his combat mode, wearing only his white button down shirt. The sleeves were rolled up, revealing his little hands. His feet were barely visible under the long hem of his shirt.

"Sir, no sir!" answered an enthusiastic Gunter, probably because he was wearing Gwendal's green overcoat, since his robe is too big and it would only hinder the speed of their movement. The long sleeves of Gwendal's uniform were rolled up neatly to accommodate Gunter's short arms. Other than that, there was nothing they could do to make it better, thus, leaving the hem of Gwendal's uniform trailing down on the floor like a robe.

"Good! Now we have to change our HQ. Discussing our mission strategy behind enemy lines is not a good idea. Besides, we have limited time until the evil witch and her minions come back and have realized that we're missing. We also have to restock and wear proper espionage attire," added Gwendal while glancing at his surroundings. They were still in Anissina's workshop.

"Sir, yes sir!" answered Gunter again, still as enthusiastic as before.

"Good, now checklist - luggage?"

"Check!"

"Remaining chibi potion and its formula?"

"Check!"

"Evidence cleared?"

"Check!"

"Good, now lets go!" said Gwendal, flicking his tiny wrist to point at the closed workshop door, signaling the start of their mission.

Gwendal ran ahead towards the door, his luggage (consisting of his and some of Gunter's uniforms and the remains of the chibi potion) bouncing behind his back. Gunter followed closely behind, carrying his own uniform behind his back, his tiny hand lifting the hems of Gwendal's uniform like a skirt. Upon arriving at the door, Gwendal took his position and braced himself for Gunters leap. Their timing was perfect. Gunter hopped onto Gwendal's palm and went higher when Gwendal threw him up in the air - cheerleader's style - and hooked his arm around the doorknob, forcing open the heavy door. Gwendal poked his head outside the door, looking for the enemy.

"Okay, the line is clear," he whispered to the hanging Gunter above him. Gunter then released his grip on the doorknob and fell gracefully into Gwendal's waiting arms.

"Now, towards my room." Gwendal whispered in Gunter's ear. While that sentence itself made Gunter blush like mad, he couldn't risk the success of their mission by having his mind sidetrack. 'He needs me and I won't let him down' repeating the sentence in his head like a mantra, he nodded to Gwendal and together, they tiptoed quickly across the huge empty hallway of blood pledge castle, after closing the heavy door of Anissina's workshop.
