The Very Best Of The Very Worst

Page 6. Assembly At The Royal Capital

When we returned Asta was out for a whole week before finally waking up again. We all enjoyed some breakfast made by Charmy's sheep cooks when Captain Yami showed up to eat as well.

Yami:"Knights Headquarters wants a report of the dungeon."

Luck: Wow! Knights Headquarters! I bet there are some really strong guys!

Yami:"I know that look. You're not going. Asta and (Y/n) definitely are."

Charmy:"Ooh! Can I go?! I don't mind! I bet there are lots of excellent dishes over there!"

Yami:"No offense but why the heck would I send you? All you do is sit around and eat all day."

Gauche:"I'm sorry, but I can't go. I'm too busy writing letters to Marie."

Yami:"Okay? It's not like anyone asked you to go anyway. Noelle tag along with them."

Noelle:"Fine."

Yami:"(Y/n), make sure Asta doesn't do anything stupid or gets himself killed out there."

"Yes sir."

Asta:"Wha-! Hey!"

Finral dropped us off at the Royal Capital and the sight amazed Asta and he was freaking out.

Asta:"This place is so huge! I mean, I always figured it would be, but still!"

Asta:"Be quiet! You're embarrassing us!"

He just laughed and looked at all the buildings.

Noelle:"Can you believe him? He's acting like a kid."

"I mean, it's not everyday us commoners get a chance to show up here so it's a bit understandable."

She rolled eyes before looking away. We kept walking for a while before catching up with Yuno and his squad.

Asta:"Why if it isn't the members of the Golden Dawn, hello there!"

Klaus:"Asta! Good to see you! How's your wound?"

Asta:"My stomach still hurts a little, but after lots of food and sleep, I bounce back."

Yuno:"Such a child."

Asta:"Who do you think you're calling a child?! We're the same age! Oh. Hey Mimosa! I owe you one for saving me back there!"

Mimosa:"You're very welcome."

"Hey Mimosa, you doing alright?"

She squeaked and ran off while holding her cheeks.

Asta:"Huh? Why did she run off like that? Was it something you said?"

"I barely said one sentence to her!"

Noelle went over to check on her as Asta and Yuno were arguing about some nonsense as usual.

Noelle:"Mimosa, are you alright?"

Mimosa:"I don't know what to do. Please help me. It's umm... (Y/n). Whenever I see him I get this weird feeling in my chest. Since that day in the dungeon he's all I seem to think about. It's awful! I don't know what's gotten into me!"

Noelle:"WHAAAAATTTT??!!"

Mimosa:"And with the way I just ran from him, do you think he's going to hate me now?"

Noelle:"What can you possibly see in him? He's a low-born, plain faced, nobody!"

Mimosa: *giggle* "I think all those things are part of his charm, honestly. So much life and power in such an ordinary package. Could this be...?"
