The Very Best Of The Very Worst

Page 5. Into The Dungeon We Go

After we got back from Saussy Village Captain Yami gave us some words of praise. And not only that, but we got our first wages of the month! Asta and I high fived each other before I gave him a serious look.

"Asta."

Asta:"Yeah?"

"Since it's payday then that means Yuno got his wages too, right?"

Asta:"I mean that makes sense."

"But since he's a part of the Golden Dawn, no doubt he's gonna send butt loads of money to the church. We gotta one-up him. Together!"

Asta:"Yeah! You're right! We can't let Yuno show off!"

We clasped our hands together and smirked.

Magna:"Nice! Sending money back to his family is what a real man does."

Vanessa:"Sending money is good and all, but you should use some of that for yourself. I'll take you both with me to go shopping! Noelle, you should come with."

Noelle:"Eh?! Why me?"

Vanessa:"Maybe we can find you something to help you with your magic troubles."

She got a bit red and just looked away.

Noelle:"Fine."

"Sweet. But first Asta and I are gonna go ahead and write a letter to the church."

She nodded and we smiled and ran to our rooms to write out all that's happened recently. Along with sending our share of money. Our day off wasn't that eventful. I bought some toys to send back to the kids at the church and Noelle got herself a wand. Not only that, but some guy tried stealing this old lady's money, but Asta, Sekke (Mr. Haha), and I stopped the guy.

The next day Captain Yami told us we earned ourselves a golden star. We were now sitting at negative 30. And the Golden Dawn had 71. So we had a long way to go before we could even catch up with Yuno. Another thing we did was name that bird that hung around Asta. Luck said Nero and it seemed to like it.

Yami:"Right. A new dungeon has been found and we've been tasked with checking it out. It's in a rough area too. Sitting between the middle of us and the Diamond Kingdom."

"A dungeon?"

Magna:"Heck yeah! That's what I'm talking about! A dungeon is a cool and scary place filled with deadly traps. It's got loads of treasure and magical items inside so this sounds like fun!"

Asta:"Yeah! Captain Yami! Can I go?!"

Yami:"Heh, you were going regardless. Same with (Y/n)."

"Me as well?"

Yami:"The Wizard King requested you two."

Both:"NO FREAKING WAY!!"

Asta was weeping with tears of joys as I was in shock.

The Wizard King himself asked for me to do a dungeon crawling job?! I better not disappoint. And I can already tell how Asta is feeling.

Yami:"Noelle you're going with them."

Noelle:"Why me?"

Yami:"You need experience right? So you can get better at that magic of yours. And who else...?"

He looked around the room before setting his eyes on Luck.

Yami:"Luck. Go with them. Show the newbies how it's done."

Luck:"You got it! This is gonna be so much fun!"

Nolle: What?! We're with that lunatic?! Oh great... Plus the loudmouth insect. And...him...(Y/n).
