Klaus adjusted his spectacles, 'Well, at least things appeared to calm down.'

"Hey, thanks for the offer, but I already have a rival. It's Yuno over there." Asta pointed towards Yuno, who stood beside Mimosa. She blushed and turned away when she noticed Asta noticed her as well.

Leopold laughed and patted Asta on the back. "(Y/n) mentioned him to me as well, but hey, it's not like there's a rulebook saying you can only have one rival."

"Wait, are you serious?"

"Absolutely!" Leopold declared, earning a blank stare from (Y/n). He grinned at her before chuckling.

"Come on, (Y/n)-Ojo! Don't give me that look. I'm just being friendly. Besides, your rivals are my rivals too!"

"They're not my rivals, Leo. They're my friends. And could you please stop calling me that?" (Y/n) stated firmly.

"Friends, rivals, same thing." He grinned, patting Asta on the back as he chuckled.

Asta glanced at (Y/n) who sighed and shook her head. "Just ignore him. He's been like this since forever." she muttered.

"Hey, look at those muscles under your robe! Impressive! Just as I expected from my rival. How about a friendly arm-wrestling match?"

"What?!" Asta exclaimed.

(Y/n) facepalmed at her overly confident friend. "Leo, you can't just—"

"Don't worry, my princess. It's just a friendly arm-wrestling death match between rivals!"

"Huh?!" Asta and (Y/n) chorused in surprise before she stepped forward, hands on her hips. "Really? But you can't even go against me."  With a playful smirk, she flicked Leo's forehead, eliciting a small whine from him.

"Owwie!" Leo rubbed his forehead with a slight pout, while Mimosa giggled nearby. Noelle and Feugleone observed with smiles, but Yuno's expression remained stoic, almost brooding.

"See? I told you." (Y/n) smirked, crossing her arms triumphantly, enjoying Leo's flustered state. But Leo quickly regained his composure, straightening up and flashing a confident smirk.

"Yeah, you got me there, but I wouldn't dare challenge my princess in a contest of brute force. That's just not how gentlemen do things."

He grinned mischievously. "Besides, I'm curious to see just how strong my rivals are, so why not settle it with a small competition right now? Including you there!" He suddenly pointed at Yuno challengingly.

Yuno simply gave him a blank stare, displaying no particular interest, though deep down, he welcomed the opportunity to channel his pent-up emotions into this small competition.

"Why him?" (Y/n) questioned, glancing at Yuno before turning back to Leopold with a puzzled expression.

"Haha! Well, I've got a handful of reasons for including him. First, he's a rival of my rival. Second, he's a friend of yours, so I figure he must be pretty amazing to earn your friendship. Third, he also has a four-leaf grimoire like you, and I'm curious to test his strength!"
