"The magic barrier has been reinforced, communication magic restored, and additional Magic Knight Squad members have been dispatched to maintain order. The Royal Capital is safe now." Alkradra and Hamón Caseus of the Golden Dawn returned from afar. Order in the Royal Capital had been restored, and various disaster relief efforts were proceeding in an orderly fashion.
"We can now send people to look for the child from the Black Bulls," Hamón Caseus said with a sigh of relief.
"Finally, they remembered Asta!" Noelle had been restless until now, desperately performing every task assigned to her, all for the sake of waiting for this moment!
"Asta..." Mimosa Vermillion's pale yellow eyes were already moist. The thought that Asta's life was still uncertain made her want to cry!
"Geez, they only thought of looking for me now?!" Asta rolled his eyes. He had already returned to the medical facility with Magic Emperor Julius.
"This magic power fluctuation!" Everyone looked vigilantly toward the location of Asta and Julius, and upon seeing the Magic Emperor, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry to startle everyone!" Julius waved at the crowd. "You all worked hard defending the Royal Capital this time."
"Magic Emperor, there is still an enemy?" Sol Marron looked uncertainly at the Eye of the Midnight Sun enemy bound in mid-air.
"Yes," Charlotte Roselei replied. She recognized the attire; when she returned via the composite super magic, the mages of the Eye of the Midnight Sun were wearing this exact clothing.
"That's great!" Noelle only had eyes for Asta now. Upon seeing Asta return safe and sound, she let out a huge sigh of relief, but quickly turned her head away tsundere-style. Looking at Asta walking toward her, she said, "Idiot Asta, don't do such risky things next time, you hear me!"
"Got it, Noelle!" Asta looked at Noelle and smiled, knowing this little princess was being bashful again. When he first saw her, her pink eyes were clearly filled with surprise, but now she was pretending to be angry. A tsundere girl was truly cute!
"Asta, you're finally back!" Although Mimosa Vermillion was shy, she was quite honest. Suddenly seeing the Asta she had been thinking about appear, she immediately rushed into Asta's arms without hesitation. "I was so worried about you!"
"Mimosa, calm down!" Asta subconsciously hugged Mimosa Vermillion. Since Mimosa Vermillion was quite petite, her entire body was now clinging to Asta like an attachment. When their eyes met, there was only 0.01 centimeters of space between them!
"Ahhh, I'm sorry, Asta!" Mimosa Vermillion hurriedly climbed down from Asta, shyly hiding to the side.
"Ahhh! Mimosa actually hugged Asta like that!" The jar of vinegar in Noelle's heart was instantly overturned, but she had no standing to say anything. This feeling was simply heartbreaking!
"Asta, geez, the moment I saw you get captured, I thought you were done for!" Klaus also ran over excitedly.
"Hehe, everything's fine. Where's Yuno?" Asta didn't see Yuno anywhere. Had something happened to him? But he figured that was impossible, because if something had happened, everyone would have shown it.
"Yuno performed a great service. Together with Charmy from your Black Bulls, he captured a female mage from the Eye of the Midnight Sun. It's just that he's a bit exhausted now and is resting inside," Klaus said.
"I see. But when did Charmy get here?" Asta looked at Noelle curiously.
"How would I know?" Noelle pursed her lips, clearly still thinking about what happened just now.
"Asta, Noelle, I'm here!" While she was speaking, Charmy arrived in front of everyone, having clearly finished explaining the capture of the female mage to the headquarters.
"Charmy, I didn't expect you to come to the Royal Capital today too!" Asta said, surprised.
"Hehe, I came along with you guys!" Charmy said with a smug smile.
"Huh? How is that possible? We didn't see you when Finral transported us here!" Noelle said in surprise.
"Because I used magic!" Charmy said, demonstrating it again. She used her Cotton Magic to wrap herself up, shrinking into a small ball that floated behind Noelle's cape, then floated back out.
"I see!" Asta and Noelle understood immediately.
"It seems the people of the Black Bulls also have powerful magic. I can't let my guard down just because they are ranked last!" Klaus pushed up his glasses. After witnessing Asta and Charmy, he no longer dared to look down on the bottom-ranked Black Bulls...
"Fuegoleon's pendant is missing. I also saw a special stone tablet at their temporary hideout, inlaid with many gems. The pendant Fuegoleon had is similar to the gems on the tablet. It seems their goal is to collect all the gems on the tablet," Julius summarized after hearing the reports.
