The Very Best Of The Very Worst

Page 16. Three Finger Salute

Asta:"WHAT?! We were asleep for an entire day?!"

Noelle:"That's right, and you had the gall to snore the entire time. (Y/n) at least slept peacefully."

Klaus:"That's the exhaustion that comes when you fight with everything you have. We wanted to help you as well, but by the time we arrived, the Eye of the Midnight Sun had run away."

Yuno:"The word came awfully late."

Mimosa:"At least we got to take care of you afterward, even if we weren't able to join the battle."

"Your recovery magic did wonders, Mimosa. Thank you."

Mimosa:"Oh no! It was nothing. Really. Klaus was the one who looked after you two. He stayed at your sides all night."

Klaus:"Ahem! Thanks to you, the abducted children have returned home safely. And the one who took them, Neige, I believe, is being questioned back at HQ. Although, I doubt he can tell us much about the Eye of the Midnight Sun."

Mimosa:"Since he appears genuinely remorseful and has demonstrated no malicious intent, he'll be volunteering here at the church as restitution for his crimes."

Asta:"Good. He was feeling bad, so I was hoping it was something like that."

Klaus:"In any case, you did a fine job yet again!"

Yuno:"If it were me, I wouldn't have allowed the enemy to escape so easily."

Asta:"Yeah, well, now I'm gonna catch them! Yuno, I'm not gonna let you get the better of me! You'll see! I'm gonna get stronger and stronger!"

Yuno:"Then I'll have to keep getting stronger and stronger and stronger."

"Eh, I'll leave you guys in the dust by getting four times stronger."

Both:"Not a chance!"

Asta:"I won't stop until..."

Both:"I become the Wizard King!"

Mimosa:"Aww, look at you two! You two are obviously such good friends!"

Both:"Yeah?"

Yuno:"Ridiculous."

Klaus:"Now that Asta's awake, we should be on our way."

Mimosa:"Yes, sir."

They began walking off before Mimosa stopped.

Mimosa:"Oh! I almost forgot! Sister Theresa woke up."

"Really?"

Noelle:"Gauche is in there with her now."

In the other room, Gauche was back to his arguments with Sister Theresa before telling her he was glad she didn't die. We walked in, and Marie was happy to see Asta was awake again. We talked a bit with her and the sister before Noelle told us it was time to get going.

"Hold on, Noelle, we need to stop by one more place."

Noelle:"Huh?"

We went over to Rebecca's house, and she had prepared Asta and I an amazing feast.

Rebecca:"I'm so glad you're awake! I figured you would be hungry, so I made plenty. Though I think I made too much..."

Noelle was eating the food as well.

Noelle:"I hate to admit this, but it's pretty good..."

"Too much?! Nah! This is exactly what I needed, Rebecca! Thanks a million! You just made my day!"

I continued chowing down as Asta nodded in agreement.

Rebecca:"O-Oh! I'm so glad to hear that (Y/n)..."
