A Twisted Kind Of King_[Black Clover]

Chapter 18

"Asta."
"Yeah?"
"Where..."

Yuno looked at the red covered bed stuffed into the corner of Asta's room.

"Where do you expect me to sleep?"

The black haired boy looked down on a confused ash blonde boy.
"Hmm? What do you mean? We're sleeping on the bed!"

Asta looked up at Yuno, who had a look. You could tell he was flipping through a hundred pages of 'What' in his brain.

".....Huh? You mean...together...?"
"Yeah of course! Like how people normally sleep!"

Yuno still couldn't believe Asta had a memory loss. He still thought that the demon took over Asta's brain and corrupted it with his own past, or whatever.

"......"
Yuno turned on his heels and walked to Asta's wooden cupboard, and pulled out a thick long cloth.
"Not happening."

Yuno deadpanned, while laying out the sheet on the cold stone floor.

Asta quietly stood and watched as Yuno straightened out the bedsheet, and placed a rolled up cloth as his pillow.

The male stopped his actions and turned to Asta, who was shockingly silent.
"What happened?"
Asta had a look of sadness before flopping onto his bed and pulling his sheet over his hips.

"Okay, then. Goodnight."

Yuno held himself up on his elbow and stared with wide eyes.
Since when the fuck was he so submissive...?

Yuno coughed and cleared his throat before taking a deep breath.
"Asta...what happened? Is it because I said no to sleeping together?"

Asta didn't turn around. Or even answer.

".....It's for our own safety, Asta. I know you're aware that there's some abnormal changes in your body."

"What do you think of our future?"

The ash blonde utterly and completely ignored the presence of Yuno's question.

Yuno sighed before saying in an irritated tone.
"Asta. What's with that question? Answer me first--"

"I don't think our kingdom will flourish..."

"Asta--"

"Atleast not when the Spade nation is still thriving."

Yuno flinched at Asta's statement.
Spade...nation..? Why is he talking about such a topic?
Asta finally turned around, to face Yuno.

"You know about the devil hosts, don't you?"
Asta asked with a normal expression.
"I still can't believe I'm one of them."

Yuno's wide eyes followed as Asta sat up.

"What are you...talking about?"
Yuno was still in shock, unable to connect his thoughts, which were flowing in every direction.
Why is he talking about our future?
Why is he mentioning devils?
What...

"Hey."
Yuno called out, and successfully got the attention of the other.

"Who are you?"

Asta didn't reply.

"Well? You're definitely not Asta. Asta never spoke nor thought like thi--"
"You're right."

Asta cut his line with a monotone voice.

"You're not talking to Asta, you're talking to his devil right now."
Asta smiled slightly.
"Seems like your 70 percent stupid brain finally figured it out?"
