Chapter 6 - 6: Asta wants to be a magic king.

M

Three months have passed since Sister Lily arrived at the Hage church.

In these three months, everyone has treated Sister Lily like family.

At this moment, Asta and Yuno can be seen running along a dirt road.

As they ran along the dirt path, Yuno trips and falls face first onto the ground.

"Yuno, are you okay?!" Asta turns back when he hears Yuno fall.

Upon hearing Asta's words, tears begin to well up in the corners of Yuno's eyes.

Asta extends his hand to Yuno and says, "Get up already."

"Thank you, Asta," Yuno says as he takes Asta's hand.

"Yuno, you cry about everything."

"It's just..." Yuno hesitates.

"Don't worry, you have none other than me, right?" Asta says, trying to reassure Yuno.

Wiping away his tears, Yuno says with a brighter mood, "Yes."

"Right, it's time to go, Yuno."

"They're waiting for us up there," Asta says, holding Yuno's hand as they both run towards the top of a small hill.

Dandelions float through the sky, giving a beautiful view of the landscape.

Under a large tree, Sister Lily, holding Nash in her arms, Yuno, Asta, and Recca are sitting on the ground beneath the tree.

"This is delicious," Yuno says while eating bread.

"Although, it's hard," Yuno complains a little.

"Sister Lily is the best, she cooks like no one else, what a treat," Asta says as he tries to bite into a rather hard piece of bread.

"When I grow up, you're going to marry me and cook for me," Asta smiles at Sister Lily.

"But the bread was baked by Father Asta, don't tell me you're going to marry him," Sister Lily replies to Asta.

"What did you say?" Asta's face changes to one of astonishment and terror. "Of course not, I want to marry you, accept it, accept it, let's get married, sister, let's get married, let's get married!" Asta even throws a tantrum on the ground until Sister Lily lifts her grimoire.

At that moment, Asta stops throwing a tantrum because of the threat, or rather, the verbal warning.

"You're very funny, Asta," Sister Lily replies to Asta.

"Asta, just give up, the Sister... belongs... the Sister belongs to the clergy," Yuno says.

"I won't give up, Yuno, I won't give up on her, not until I'm an adult," Asta declares.

"Well, good luck," Yuno says.

"That's right, Asta, as Yuno says, good luck in winning over Sister."

A voice sounds from above everyone's heads.

Asta looks up and sees Wendy sitting on one of the branches of the large tree.

"Of course I'll have plenty of luck in winning over Sister Lily, and if luck isn't enough, my persistence will win her over," Asta declares with his fist near his face.

"Yes, yes, whatever you say, Asta, I'm looking forward to that day," Wendy says.

"Wendy, it's very dangerous to be up there, come down," Sister Lily says while looking at Wendy on the tree branch.

"Besides, a lady should be careful that children don't see her underwear," Sister Lily says while observing Wendy's skirt.

With a sigh, Wendy jumps from the tree branch and uses a gust of wind to descend gently.

"Sister, I already told you, those unimportant things don't affect me," Wendy says nonchalantly.

'After all, what do these children know? They're only 5 years old,' Wendy thinks.

'And for some strange reason, I feel more comfortable wearing less clothing, maybe it's because Irene Belserion liked to wear only clothes that covered the most important parts,' Wendy thinks dismissively; after all, she has a very open mind about most things. "Sigh, Wendy, it seems I'll have to remind you of the things a lady should pay attention to," Sister Lily sighs as she looks at Wendy lying on the grass in a star shape.

"That won't be necessary, I just have to wear pants and the problem will be solved."

About 2 hours later.

In the church chapel, Sister Lily is telling Asta and Yuno the story of the demon and the Wizard King.

"And the wizard managed to defeat the demon, the wizard's radiance illuminated the whole world, then the long night ended and finally dawn broke, and the world saw the light again," Sister Lily narrated.

"Yay!" Asta exclaimed.

Yuno, excited, got up from the pew with a joyful expression, anticipating the continuation of the story.

"Then, that brave wizard became the legendary and admired Wizard King."

"The Wizard King," they both said at the same time.

"And they all lived happily ever after," and with that, Sister Lily closed the storybook.

Outside the church.

Asta, Yuno, Sister Lily, and Wendy, who is on the church roof, all look together at the demon's skull.

"Sister, is there still a Wizard King?" Asta asks.

"Yes, there is a new Wizard King in each generation who inherits the title from the previous Wizard King."

"The Clover Kingdom lives in peace thanks to the Wizard King, and we have managed to maintain that peace for the last few generations."

"That's great, and is he a very important person?" Asta asks.

"He's the most important person after the king."

"I've already decided!" Asta exclaims, even climbing onto the wooden fence.

"What have you decided, Asta?"

"I'm going to be the Wizard King," Asta says with great confidence.

Sister Lily is surprised and speechless; a drop of sweat rolls down her cheek from the shock.

"Sister?" Asta asks, perplexed by the silence.

"Forgive me, you surprised me. And why did you decide that?" Sister Lily apologizes and asks.

"He's the one who defeated the demon, he's a strong guy and a cool guy, and I want to be a strong guy and a cool guy too," Asta declared with joy in his voice.

"Besides, if I'm someone important, if I become the Wizard King, I'll be able to make everyone much happier."

"And they'll have luxurious clothes and eat delicious food, and I'll renovate this church that's completely falling apart."

"Don't say that," Sister Lily says, a little uncomfortable.

"And you too, Sister, you'll live in luxury."

"I hope that day comes, don't you, Yuno?"

"Uh-huh."

'The Wizard King,' Yuno thinks happily.

"I'll become the Wizard King, so marry me already, Sister!"

"Those are completely different things, Asta."

Asta's face is completely devastated by the news.

Suddenly, Wendy falls from the sky onto Asta's back.

"That's the most important thing, isn't it? Marrying the sister after becoming the Wizard King, right?" Wendy says to Asta.

"Wendy, that hurts! Don't fall from the sky for no reason, and since when have you been listening?" Asta complains.

"Don't be silly, I used healing magic even before the impact. You only have a phantom pain, and as for when I arrived, I was on the church roof long before you guys got here."

"But don't worry, Asta," Wendy says as she gets up from Asta's back. "I'm two years older than you. When I get my grimoire, I'll become a magic knight, and then I'll send most of my salary to the church."

"Wendy, what's a magic knight?" Asta asked, his eyes wide with wonder.

"How can you not know, especially since you want to become the Wizard King?"

"Magic knights are the order of magic knights that protect the Clover Kingdom."

"The magic knight orders are divided into several squads, such as...".
