Black Clover (2017) s01e27 Episode Script
Light
[NARRATOR]
Threatened by a ruthless demon,
humanity was on the
brink of destruction.
All seemed lost
until a lone mage
stepped forward and
took up the fight.
After his triumph, he was
hailed as the Wizard King,
and his story became legend.
Gel Magic: Go Sticky Salamander!
[KLAUS gasps]
[SALLY]
And gotcha!
We'll leave you for now,
but remember this
day, Magic Knights.
We are the Eye of
the Midnight Sun,
and we will bring the
Clover Kingdom to its knees.
[NOELLE]
Asta!
You've kept me waiting.
[RADES]
No, it can't be.
[GEORK] The Wizard King,
Julius Novochrono.
Kill him! Now!
How did you--
[JULIUS]
Yes, sorry about that.
It would have been
far too difficult
to restrain all of you.
So, let's make a deal.
I'll let the first person
to surrender survive.
Well, do we have any takers?
[RADES growls]
[ALL]
Not happening.
[GEORK growls]
[laughing]
[GEORK]
How is he moving like that?
He's so fast,
I can't even see him!
[JULIUS]
A test, then.
We'll see if it will
work on this many.
Time Binding Magic:
Chrono Stasis!
[RADES]
What did he do?
[GEORK]
Body's frozen.
[VALTOS]
Can't move.
[JULIUS]
Well, would you look at that!
I got you all. Guess I
overestimated your skills.
[ASTA]
Ow, ow, ow.
Oh, Asta, there you are.
It's nice to see you again.
We keep running into each other.
Uh, yeah.
You wanna be the
Wizard King someday.
Isn't that right?
Then I suggest you
carefully consider
everything you've seen here.
This was only the smallest
example of the sort of power
you'll have to outmatch.
[gasps]
[JULIUS]
Get ready. Something's coming.
So bright!
Where is this light coming from?
[ASTA]
Huh? What just happened?
[JULIUS]
He got away.
His pals, too.
A Light Magic wielder who's
even faster than I am.
I wonder if he's their
leader. How fascinating.
Fascinating and
troubling. Anyway.
We've still got
this one, at least.
[gasps] Good. I got through.
Now, sir, where are you?
Hey, hey, easy, Marx.
I'm all right.
I've been a bit busy, though.
I had our Transmission Magic
temporarily suspended.
Please explain later, sir.
You're needed at
the medical ward.
[gasps]
This is horrible.
They'll pull through, right?
Poor guys. I sure hope
they wake up soon.
As do I.
We've bolstered
the magic barrier.
The Transmission Magic's
been restored, as well.
More Knights are on the
ground, searching for any
stragglers the enemy
may have left behind.
The capital should be
completely secure now.
And we're searching for
that noisy--um, I mean,
that lively boy from
the Black Bulls, as well.
[laughs]
They haven't had him for
long, and he's a fighter.
When he gets back. I'm going
to slap that boy silly.
[gasps]
This large influx
of magic power.
[MAGIC KNIGHTS gasp]
[JULIUS] Hey, there, everybody.
Nice work today.
[MIMOSA]
It's the Wizard King!
[NOELLE]
And Asta!
Hi, the gang's all here.
How's it goin'?
Hey, look. He's got a captive.
Man, for a second there
I seriously thought
that was gonna be it for me.
Please! You always get
in over your head.
And you still haven't
learned anything, Dorksta.
[MIMOSA]
Thank goodness!
--[NOELLE yelps]
--Asta!
You're really here!
You're back!
They took you. I thought
you were gone for good.
Do you know how worried I was?
I'm so glad you're okay.
I'm fine. Thanks, Four-Eyes.
[NOELLE] What happened
to slapping him silly?
--[NOELLE, KLAUS yelp]
--Oh, Asta, you came back to us!
Are you okay? I can't tell
you how worried I've been.
It's good to see you.
[yelps]
[JULIUS] I see. And we don't
know when he'll wake up?
Losing a man like Fuegoleon
would be quite a blow.
The consequences
of my misjudgment.
No, it's our inexperience
that's to blame.
And there's something else.
We discovered that the pendant
Fuegoleon was wearing
has disappeared.
It's missing?
[CHARLOTTE] Perhaps they staged
the attack to acquire it.
Do you have any idea
who they are, sir?
Well, no, but
There have been rumors lately,
and from what they said,
it sounds like they have
a grudge against the kingdom.
[GEORK] We are the
Eye of the Midnight Sun,
and we will bring the
Clover Kingdom to its knees.
However, I suspect it's
not as simple as that.
[JULIUS] The multicolored jewels
embedded in that tablet
They were arranged in a pattern,
but some of the spots
were still empty.
Could Fuegoleon's
pendant have been
one of the missing jewels?
What happens when
they're all in place?
It's possible that
Charlotte is right,
and they targeted
Fuegoleon because
the jewel was in his possession.
However, it's equally likely
that they sought to disable
him because they worried
he'd interfere with the
achievement of their goals.
We've been covertly
investigating a number
of dissidents, but this
is the first time
I've been able to link
them to a single group.
They're stronger
than I anticipated.
This was a large-scale attack
backed by immense power.
Perhaps I should have
remained in the capital.
We'll interrogate the
prisoner for answers later.
Whoever they are.
I ask only one thing
from the Magic Knights,
that you preserve the peace
of the Clover Kingdom.
To achieve that, we must
put everything on the line
and keep fighting.
--Yes, sir!
--[NOZEL] If you'll excuse me,
Wizard King.
[SOLID]
We're right behind you.
[ASTA]
Why's he walking off like that?
I thought we were doing the
whole group solidarity thing.
Talk about ruining the moment.
[JULIUS]
There's a saying.
"Don't wake a sleeping lion."
Our mysterious enemy may
have awoken an eagle, instead.
[NOZEL] Inexcusable.
What a spectacular failure.
I can never allow
that to happen again.
Fuegoleon, I swear.
I will find the people
who did this to you.
I will hunt them down,
and I will bury them.
[sighs] I've never felt
so useless in my life.
I hope nothing like that
ever happens again.
We won't let it.
[CHARLOTTE]
I promise. We will get stronger.
--Good.
--[door opens]
[LEOPOLD] And I'm gonna
be the strongest one of all!
[MIMOSA]
Leopold!
You should still be resting.
Asta! I'm glad to see
that we both survived.
It's appropriate that my
rival evaded death, too.
We must grow stronger together.
I will work until
I have surpassed
even my brother.
And then, I will become
the next Wizard King!
And now, for this.
[LEOPOLD]
Brother?
That diamond mark
on your forehead.
What is it?
It's a sign.
This mark means I'm
committed to overcoming
my limitations
and becoming king.
It is the House Vermillion
symbol of an oath
made to oneself.
[LEOPOLD] This mark, is the
symbol of my personal oath.
Yeah! I mean, most of that
went over my head,
but I can tell I've
got a good rival.
So, who exactly are you, again?
Huh?! Are you kidding?
How can you not know?
[ASTA] Well, have you
actually introduced yourself?
I don't really remember.
[LEOPOLD]
I'm Leopold Vermillion,
but in the spirit of
friendship, call me Leo!
[ASTA] Um, do you think we're
movin' a little fast here?
[LEOPOLD] You care about
formality all of a sudden?!
[NARRATOR]
The Wizard King had concluded
that the attack on the
royal capital was the work
of terrorists targeting
the Clover Kingdom.
In a public speech,
he made clear
his determination to
continue to fight.
The people greeted
this declaration
with wholehearted support.
The invasion was
only possible because
some of the mages in charge
of maintaining the city's
magic barrier had disappeared.
Were they eliminated?
Or did they go willingly?
[NARRATOR]
After assessing the situation,
the Wizard King came
to his own conclusion,
but it was not one he
wished to make public.
[JULIUS] As much as I
don't want to believe it,
there must be a traitor among
the royal capital's mages.
[MARX] It's no use. With
Protect Magic cast on them,
we can't get any information.
[CATHERINE chuckles]
We're not keeping quiet
because of some spell.
The master is a light
in the darkness.
He's more than a man--
he is our god!
[gasps]
[GEORK] We were abandoned.
But he always stood by us.
You can do what you want,
but we would sooner
die than betray him.
[MARX] Whatever the
identity of this "master,"
the loyalty he commands
is undeniable,
as is the breadth of his power.
He's most likely the one
who brought down Fuegoleon.
I doubt his minions could have.
Indeed.
We'll have to ask the captain.
Perhaps he can tell us
more about the attacker.
Let's bide our time until
the king of lions awakens.
[RADES]
Damn you. Damn you.
Damn you! Damn you!
I'm in pain and it's
all your fault.
You did this to me!
You miserable,
useless brat, Asta.
I'm going to enjoy
destroying you.
I'll assemble a wraith army
and tear you limb from limb!
[SALLY] Wait, are you talking
about the Anti-Magic kid?
Asta? No! You can't kill him!
I've got research to do,
and I need him alive
and wriggling if I'm
gonna get the best results.
What's more, I healed
that scratch of yours,
so there's no way you're
feeling any pain now.
No! It's real. I still hurt!
And, as for that kid, I saw
him first, so you stay away.
Hands off, you understand me?
I'm not listening!
I'm not listening!
Ugh! Asta and I are going to
have so much fun together.
[RADES growls]
[SALLY]
It's too bad I don't know
when I'll get to see him again.
But fortunately, I was able
to snag a good sample
while he was in my gel.
Now for a little
Anti-Magic research! ♪
[LICHT] I was unable
to save Geork or Catherine.
[VALTOS] Those two may be
willful, but they worship you.
Their loyalty to the
cause is absolute.
I doubt they will
reveal anything.
[LICHT] It's not information
that I'm concerned about.
As long as they are alive,
I will rescue them.
[LICHT]
I thought I had dodged it,
but it seems that attack
did graze me, after all.
[LICHT] A spell that speeds
the passage of time,
and so drastically, too.
Such power His magic
is truly phenomenal.
Still, we will continue
to martial our strength.
Revenge will be ours.
Soon, the once-mighty
Clover Kingdom will fall.
And when it does,
we will form a new nation
that is ours alone.
[GIRL 21A]
I can't believe how brave
you two were out there!
Thanks so much for saving me!
Sure. No problem.
We were only doing our
duty as Magic Knights.
Here, for you. I made
them all from scratch.
Whoa! These look great!
Thanks again for
everything. See ya later.
[laughs] I love cupcakes!
Wait, what?
Hey! Charmy, when
did you get here?
Huh? Where there is tasty
food, there I shall be.
Here. I've got a few to spare.
Wanna try? Well? Go on.
Hey, uh, you do know
those are ours, right?
It's okay, I don't mind sharing.
Here, go ahead. Eat up!
Well, in that case,
thank you, I guess.
I suppose I can do you
the honor of accepting.
That's good!
I'll admit it isn't terrible.
[CHARMY singing]
What's up?
You're even more chipper
than usual today.
That's because I met my destiny!
[muffled] You probably wouldn't
understand yet, kids.
Wait, I'm confused.
How'd you get into
the castle, anyway?
I'll show you.
Seriously?
[NOELLE] I guess it's not just
her appetite that's incredible.
Oh, hey, look.
Guys!
I'd know that yell anywhere.
Oh, hi, Asta!
[KLAUS] Is that stomach
wound all healed up?
Wait. I asked you
that before, didn't I?
[ASTA]
Yeah, you did, and I'm fine.
Jeez. Do you always
worry this much?
Yuno! Hey!
I heard you went and
finished off some enemy
like it was nothin', you jerk!
That makes me a jerk?
[gasps] My prince of
provisions is here!
What's the matter with you?
Aren't you at least gonna
say "hi" or somethin'?
[yelps] How do you
know my prince?
Oh, you think you're
too good for me
'cause you're super
powerful now? Come on.
I don't think a simple
"hello" is gonna kill ya.
[gasps]
[BOTH scream]
Ooh!
[yells]
[MIMOSA, KLAUS gasp]
I may have overdone it.
What did you do that for?
Are you crazy?
[ASTA] Jeez, I was
just teasin' the guy.
I didn't think he'd actually
try to kill me for it.
[YUNO]
Later, little Rasta.
Okay, that's it! You're an
even bigger jerk now!
You wanna go? Let's do it.
I'm ready when you are!
Get down here and
fight me face-to-face--
we'll see who's stronger!
Hey! Don't you
walk away from me!
The fierce winds of true love.
Ah, my prince!
You can't go around
ignoring people like that!
Come back. Yuno, wait!
[ASTA] Think you can just
blast me with magic
[KLAUS] Yuno's magic has
gotten far more powerful
than it used to be.
What could have happened to
cause such a sudden change?
[MIMOSA] Asta. I'm going
to get stronger.
The next time we face
an enemy together,
I'll be able to
fight by your side.
And then
And then
[MIMOSA giggles]
We'll have our showdown,
but it can wait
until we're both more powerful.
[ASTA]
I'm not gonna lose, Yuno.
No matter how strong you get,
I'm gonna get even stronger!
[NOELLE chuckles]
[ASTA] Hey, guys, welcome back.
How'd the mission go?
Not too bad, but, man,
I am wiped out.
It was exhausting.
Worth it, though.
We did so well out there,
we earned ourselves
a shiny new star!
[ASTA]
That's so awesome!
--Tell 'em the rest, too.
--[MAGNA] Too close.
Like about our combo move,
the Crackling Magna Typhoon
and how amazing it was.
[MAGNA]
Don't use that move ever again.
[mumbling] I wish I could have
been there with you guys.
That's right, the way
things are goin',
I'm gonna be leadin'
this squad in no time.
Get ready! We're entering
the Age of Magna.
Stick with me, kid--
you're gonna go places.
[ASTA]
Yes, sir! Oh, Magna, by the way.
What up?
[ASTA]
After the attack on the capital,
there was a special
Distinguished Service Ceremony,
and I guess I did okay,
because they made me a Junior
Magic Knight, Third Class!
[laughs]
[BOTH gasp]
Wait!
What the heck is a Junior
Magic Knight, Third Class?
Well
[yells]
[YAMI] Idiots. You've been
here how long now,
and you don't know what it is?
See, there's a
Knights ranking system.
You two clowns haven't
advanced since you joined up,
so you're still only Junior
Magic Knights, Fifth Class.
Best show Asta some respect.
[BOTH]
Wha?
[YAMI]
And they made Charmy here
a Junior Magic Knight,
First Class.
Yes, inferiors, bow before me!
--[LUCK laughs]
--[MAGNA] Wha?!
[CHARMY]
Here's your place, peons.
Behind the great and
powerful Charmy Pappitson.
[sputtering]
Apparently, she captured
one of the attackers.
I think she was just trying
to beat her up, but whatever.
[CHARMY]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
no, no, no, no!
Good boys. Feel free
to worship me now.
What's up with the
freaky little dance?
I'm sensing a little bit
of resentment here.
Anyway, that was some
good work out there, kid.
But, what if Captain
Fuegoleon never wakes up?
[YAMI] Huh? Fuegoleon?
Ae you kidding me?
You're worried
about him? Come on.
That flame-throwing,
stiff-necked royal
is too stubborn
to die that easily.
He'll probably just wake up
even stronger than
he was before.
Yeah, you're right! Okay!
I better get to my training so
I can be all pumped-up, too!
No way, kid. You need to rest.
--Huh?
--[YAMI] You're too banged up.
What, are you tryin'
to kill yourself?
[ASTA]
Hey, who's the one who made me
go in the first place?
He's right. Just
take some time off.
Not you, too!
Don't be an idiot.
Time off, huh?
[FINRAL]
You got some free time, Asta?
Let's go to a mixer!
[yelps]
A what now?
You've got work to do.
[FINRAL] Leave all the
arrangements to me.
[YAMI]
Work, I said.
[FINRAL]
So much to do, so little time.
[YAMI]
I'm gonna kill you.
[FINRAL]
Oh.
Yami, did you wanna come, too?
[FULL CAST]
Clover Clips!
[YAMI] "Captain Yami's"--
Ugh, seriously?
Why did I get stuck
doin' this crap?
Okay, so obviously, the
Wizard King is at the top,
then after that, you've got
your Grand Magic Knight.
Man, this is boring.
Shouldn't someone
lower-ranked be doin' this?
I'm gonna kill you!
[ASTA, NOELLE]
What?
[CHARMY]
Could this be it?
Is this what true
love feels like?
Ah, my sweet
"knight of nourishment!"
[CHARMY] Black Clover , Page 28:
"The One I've Set My Heart On."
Oh? Is love in the
air for Asta, too?
Threatened by a ruthless demon,
humanity was on the

[LEOPOLD] You care about
formality all of a sudden?!
[NARRATOR]
The Wizard King had concluded
that the attack on the
royal capital was the work
of terrorists targeting
the Clover Kingdom.
In a public speech,
he made clear
his determination to
continue to fight.
The people greeted
this declaration
with wholehearted support.
The invasion was
only possible because
some of the mages in charge
of maintaining the city's
magic barrier had disappeared.
Were they eliminated?
Or did they go willingly?
[NARRATOR]
After assessing the situation,
the Wizard King came
to his own conclusion,
but it was not one he
wished to make public.
[JULIUS] As much as I
don't want to believe it,
there must be a traitor among
the royal capital's mages.
[MARX] It's no use. With
Protect Magic cast on them,
we can't get any information.
[CATHERINE chuckles]
We're not keeping quiet
because of some spell.
The master is a light
in the darkness.
He's more than a man--
he is our god!
[gasps]
[GEORK] We were abandoned.
But he always stood by us.
You can do what you want,
but we would sooner
die than betray him.
[MARX] Whatever the
identity of this "master,"
the loyalty he commands
is undeniable,
as is the breadth of his power.
He's most likely the one
who brought down Fuegoleon.
I doubt his minions could have.
Indeed.
We'll have to ask the captain.
Perhaps he can tell us
more about the attacker.
Let's bide our time until
the king of lions awakens.
[RADES]
Damn you. Damn you.
Damn you! Damn you!
I'm in pain and it's
all your fault.
You did this to me!
You miserable,
useless brat, Asta.
I'm going to enjoy
destroying you.
I'll assemble a wraith army
and tear you limb from limb!
[SALLY] Wait, are you talking
about the Anti-Magic kid?
Asta? No! You can't kill him!
I've got research to do,
and I need him alive
and wriggling if I'm
gonna get the best results.
What's more, I healed
that scratch of yours,
so there's no way you're
feeling any pain now.
No! It's real. I still hurt!
And, as for that kid, I saw
him first, so you stay away.
Hands off, you understand me?
I'm not listening!
I'm not listening!
Ugh! Asta and I are going to
have so much fun together.
[RADES growls]
[SALLY]
It's too bad I don't know
when I'll get to see him again.
But fortunately, I was able
to snag a good sample
while he was in my gel.
Now for a little
Anti-Magic research! ♪
[LICHT] I was unable
to save Geork or Catherine.
[VALTOS] Those two may be
willful, but they worship you.
Their loyalty to the
cause is absolute.
I doubt they will
reveal anything.
[LICHT] It's not information
that I'm concerned about.
As long as they are alive,
I will rescue them.
[LICHT]
I thought I had dodged it,
but it seems that attack
did graze me, after all.
[LICHT] A spell that speeds
the passage of time,
and so drastically, too.
Such power His magic
is truly phenomenal.
Still, we will continue
to martial our strength.
Revenge will be ours.
Soon, the once-mighty
Clover Kingdom will fall.
And when it does,
we will form a new nation
that is ours alone.
[GIRL 21A]
I can't believe how brave
you two were out there!
Thanks so much for saving me!
Sure. No problem.
We were only doing our
duty as Magic Knights.
Here, for you. I made
them all from scratch.
Whoa! These look great!
Thanks again for
everything. See ya later.
[laughs] I love cupcakes!
Wait, what?
Hey! Charmy, when
did you get here?
Huh? Where there is tasty
food, there I shall be.
Here. I've got a few to spare.
Wanna try? Well? Go on.
Hey, uh, you do know
those are ours, right?
It's okay, I don't mind sharing.
Here, go ahead. Eat up!
Well, in that case,
thank you, I guess.
I suppose I can do you
the honor of accepting.
That's good!
I'll admit it isn't terrible.
[CHARMY singing]
What's up?
You're even more chipper
than usual today.
That's because I met my destiny!
[muffled] You probably wouldn't
understand yet, kids.
Wait, I'm confused.
How'd you get into
the castle, anyway?
I'll show you.
Seriously?
[NOELLE] I guess it's not just
her appetite that's incredible.
Oh, hey, look.
Guys!
I'd know that yell anywhere.
Oh, hi, Asta!
[KLAUS] Is that stomach
wound all healed up?
Wait. I asked you
that before, didn't I?
[ASTA]
Yeah, you did, and I'm fine.
Jeez. Do you always
worry this much?
Yuno! Hey!
I heard you went and
finished off some enemy
like it was nothin', you jerk!
That makes me a jerk?
[gasps] My prince of
provisions is here!
What's the matter with you?
Aren't you at least gonna
say "hi" or somethin'?
[yelps] How do you
know my prince?
Oh, you think you're
too good for me
'cause you're super
powerful now? Come on.
I don't think a simple
"hello" is gonna kill ya.
[gasps]
[BOTH scream]
Ooh!
[yells]
[MIMOSA, KLAUS gasp]
I may have overdone it.
What did you do that for?
Are you crazy?
[ASTA] Jeez, I was
just teasin' the guy.
I didn't think he'd actually
try to kill me for it.
[YUNO]
Later, little Rasta.
Okay, that's it! You're an
even bigger jerk now!
You wanna go? Let's do it.
I'm ready when you are!
Get down here and
fight me face-to-face--
we'll see who's stronger!
Hey! Don't you
walk away from me!
The fierce winds of true love.
Ah, my prince!
You can't go around
ignoring people like that!
Come back. Yuno, wait!
[ASTA] Think you can just
blast me with magic
[KLAUS] Yuno's magic has
gotten far more powerful
than it used to be.
What could have happened to
cause such a sudden change?
[MIMOSA] Asta. I'm going
to get stronger.
The next time we face
an enemy together,
I'll be able to
fight by your side.
And then
And then
[MIMOSA giggles]
We'll have our showdown,
but it can wait
until we're both more powerful.
[ASTA]
I'm not gonna lose, Yuno.
No matter how strong you get,
I'm gonna get even stronger!
[NOELLE chuckles]
[ASTA] Hey, guys, welcome back.
How'd the mission go?
Not too bad, but, man,
I am wiped out.
It was exhausting.
Worth it, though.
We did so well out there,
we earned ourselves
a shiny new star!
[ASTA]
That's so awesome!
--Tell 'em the rest, too.
--[MAGNA] Too close.
Like about our combo move,
the Crackling Magna Typhoon
and how amazing it was.
[MAGNA]
Don't use that move ever again.
[mumbling] I wish I could have
been there with you guys.
That's right, the way
things are goin',
I'm gonna be leadin'
this squad in no time.
Get ready! We're entering
the Age of Magna.
Stick with me, kid--
you're gonna go places.
[ASTA]
Yes, sir! Oh, Magna, by the way.
What up?
[ASTA]
After the attack on the capital,
there was a special
Distinguished Service Ceremony,
and I guess I did okay,
because they made me a Junior
Magic Knight, Third Class!
[laughs]
[BOTH gasp]
Wait!
What the heck is a Junior
Magic Knight, Third Class?
Well
[yells]
[YAMI] Idiots. You've been
here how long now,
and you don't know what it is?
See, there's a
Knights ranking system.
You two clowns haven't
advanced since you joined up,
so you're still only Junior
Magic Knights, Fifth Class.
Best show Asta some respect.
[BOTH]
Wha?
[YAMI]
And they made Charmy here
a Junior Magic Knight,
First Class.
Yes, inferiors, bow before me!
--[LUCK laughs]
--[MAGNA] Wha?!
[CHARMY]
Here's your place, peons.
Behind the great and
powerful Charmy Pappitson.
[sputtering]
Apparently, she captured
one of the attackers.
I think she was just trying
to beat her up, but whatever.
[CHARMY]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
no, no, no, no!
Good boys. Feel free
to worship me now.
What's up with the
freaky little dance?
I'm sensing a little bit
of resentment here.
Anyway, that was some
good work out there, kid.
But, what if Captain
Fuegoleon never wakes up?
[YAMI] Huh? Fuegoleon?
Ae you kidding me?
You're worried
about him? Come on.
That flame-throwing,
stiff-necked royal
is too stubborn
to die that easily.
He'll probably just wake up
even stronger than
he was before.
Yeah, you're right! Okay!
I better get to my training so
I can be all pumped-up, too!
No way, kid. You need to rest.
--Huh?
--[YAMI] You're too banged up.
What, are you tryin'
to kill yourself?
[ASTA]
Hey, who's the one who made me
go in the first place?
He's right. Just
take some time off.
Not you, too!
Don't be an idiot.
Time off, huh?
[FINRAL]
You got some free time, Asta?
Let's go to a mixer!
[yelps]
A what now?
You've got work to do.
[FINRAL] Leave all the
arrangements to me.
[YAMI]
Work, I said.
[FINRAL]
So much to do, so little time.
[YAMI]
I'm gonna kill you.
[FINRAL]
Oh.
Yami, did you wanna come, too?
[FULL CAST]
Clover Clips!
[YAMI] "Captain Yami's"--
Ugh, seriously?
Why did I get stuck
doin' this crap?
Okay, so obviously, the
Wizard King is at the top,
then after that, you've got
your Grand Magic Knight.
Man, this is boring.
Shouldn't someone
lower-ranked be doin' this?
I'm gonna kill you!
[ASTA, NOELLE]
What?
[CHARMY]
Could this be it?
Is this what true
love feels like?
Ah, my sweet
"knight of nourishment!"
[CHARMY] Black Clover , Page 28:
"The One I've Set My Heart On."
Oh? Is love in the
air for Asta, too?
