Vert was relieved when he saw Earl recover from her injury thanks to Tana's ... first aid.

''Thank God. That's one crisis averted.''

He took a brief moment to survey his surroundings. Gilgamesh was incapacited, Tana was spouting all sorts of fireworks in her mouth, Vale was sulking by herself, and Marie was profusely apologizing, all while expressing her pacifistic intent.

Looks like some things never change, he thought.

He couldn't help but give a smirk at the sentiment.

Looking back, he had expected that their opponent would be challenging, not unlike his previous opponents, such as The "Dark Violet", Selena Schiess, and "Memories". Instead, their foe was easily taken down by the four youngsters.

For the first time in his life, he smiled - no, he grinned. After a string of losses, he had now worked together with a ragtag group of individuals, and had dealt the lion's share of contributions in taking down the red-clothed bandit, especially the coup de grace.

And all that led to the sweet sensation of victory, a sensation that he hadn't felt in a long time. He giggled, giddy as a schoolboy, before [raising his knee and pumping his fist in a victory pose], with tears of joy flowing from his eyes.

He laughed as hard as he could, for he not only won tactically, he had also managed a victory where his ideology could go unchallenged, and where he could be proven right.

But somewhere during his laughter, he also realized something.

"Wait a second. We just took out a guy that manhandled several regular guards, and two Huntsmen. Two experienced, stronger, and highly skilled Huntsmen, that could not stop this bandit in his tracks?"

A wide grin formed upon his lips as he [maniacally cackled like a deranged madman]. The four had accomplished what Two Huntsmen couldn't.

And he was a huge part of it.

Vert took one big breath of satisfaction, as he not only felt happy, he also felt empowered.

Earl couldn't help but also look back at their performance, given how they took out The Crimson Devil in one go.

You kids sure are something, aren't ya? --- As they reached New Clayton, the group saw a massive VTOL, and noted the appearance of Dirtnap, along with "Pekoe" and "Chamomile", two of the "special agents" Earl and Lavender mentioned.

And once they saw the four haul away Gilgamesh, Vert was making all sorts of gestures, from biting his thumb, flipping both birds, blowing raspberries, making the "loser" gesture with his right hand, and holding his thumb to his nose and twiddling his fingers.

"Bah! To think you four could get in my way, alright! But no matter! This is only a minor setback! THE GREAT GILGAMESH WILL RISE AGAIN - !"

He was soon bound and gagged as Vert made his response.

"Look how the mighty have fallen, Gilgamesh! You brought this on yourself! Now you are going to get everything you deserve, you two-bit thug!"

["WHADDYA THINK OF THAT, GIL!?"]

["THIS IS MY PERFECT VICTORY!"]

["THAT'S RIGHT!"]

["I WIIINNNNNN!!!!"]

As he cackled once more, Tana looked at him with curiosity, Marie shuddered with terror, Vale looked at him with disgust, Dirtnap looked with indifferenced, sipping his drink, and Chamomile whispered, "I like this guy! Why can't you be more like him?"

He continued his laughter as he heard the sound of a throat being cleared.

"Ahem."

He turned around to see the looks he received, having made a spectacle of himself.

"Oh. My mistake. "Our perfect victory, we win."
