But there was one person who was left behind!
Charmy was seen rubbing her sleepy eyes as she walked out of her room.
"So noisy! From just now until now, I had only just dreamed of a delicious meal!" Charmy walked out angrily, only to find that the entire headquarters was empty?
"Ah!!! A supernatural event?" Charmy screamed in terror, then scrambled back to her room, summoned several sheep in one breath, and hid among them, only then feeling a sense of security.
At this time, Gauche, who had previously teleported to Nean Town, was flying toward the cave. He had just arrived at the church and learned that Marie had been taken to the mountain. He immediately flew toward the mountain without stopping. He could feel the position of his magic mirror; he was already very close!
"Marie! Marie! You must not let anything happen to you!" While Gauche was burning with anxiety, he spotted Marie. There, in the biting cold wind, his angel was standing in the ice and snow, wearing thick velvet clothes, along with Asta!
"Marie!" At this moment, Gauche seemed to forget how to breathe; only Marie remained in his eyes!
"Brother!" Marie also spotted Gauche and was very happy.
"Hey, the main body wants you to take Marie inside. It's no longer dangerous in there," the second Shadow Clone, who had also arrived outside the cave, informed him.
"Oh, I see, but her brother is here!" the first Shadow Clone said.
"That's none of my business, I'm just delivering the message!" After saying that, the second Shadow Clone self-destructed.
"Damn it..." The first Shadow Clone cursed and stood aside, intending to see how things would play out.
"Marie, why did you come up the mountain alone!" Gauche asked anxiously.
"Brother, a white-haired boy cast a spell on me. The other children in the town were the same; everyone came up the mountain because they were bewitched!" Marie said after being picked up by Gauche.
"It's good that you're okay. I'm taking you back!" After saying that, Gauche stepped onto his magic broom and prepared to leave.
"No, Brother! There are still many children inside. We can't just leave like this!" Marie said urgently.
"Who cares about them? As long as you're okay, that's all that matters. Besides, you heard that clone say it's safe inside. Now, I'm taking you home!" After saying this, Gauche picked up Marie and, ignoring her objections, flew directly down the mountain.
"Although this isn't the result the main body wanted, since her brother is here, what else can I say!" Asta's Shadow Clone shrugged and then self-destructed.
Subsequently, this memory was transmitted back to Asta's mind.
"This sis-con expert is really something. Even though the crisis is resolved, returning these children to the town is part of the mission. Otherwise, are we expecting these children to walk back in this freezing weather?" Asta rolled his eyes.
"Phew... finally finished. If it weren't for you, Asta, I wouldn't be this tired. So... how are you going to compensate big sister?" After putting velvet clothes on the last child, Vanessa, feeling completely drained, slumped bonelessly onto Asta's shoulder.
"This fiery enchantress..." Asta silently complained, then said, "Big Sister Vanessa, rescuing children is the duty of every knight, right? How can you say it's because of me?"
"Because big sister is working so hard only because you're here, you know?" Vanessa argued with twisted logic.
"Alright, how about a foot massage for a hundred days?" Asta laughed.
"Hiss..." Noelle, standing nearby, recalled the feeling of having her feet massaged and couldn't help but gasp. It was truly comfortable yet ticklish!
"Tch~" Vanessa rolled her eyes at Asta and then said, "I'll reluctantly agree!"
"No way! Asta, I helped with this too; you have to give me a reward as well!" Noelle quickly jumped out to say.
"Fine... then we'll do it together in the evening, but you must not let anyone else see!" Asta reminded them.
"Why?" Noelle was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and immediately became coy. "That's true. After all, doing something so intimate, it would be so embarrassing if others saw!"
"No, I'm afraid that if others see it, they'll also want him to massage their feet..."
As Asta said this, the image of Yami's constipated-looking face couldn't help but appear in his mind.
"Hey, kid, I heard you're great at foot massages? Why don't you give me a massage too?"
"No way, I've already got the image in my head!" Asta shook his head quickly. Although he hadn't smelled them, just thinking about Yami's feet made him realize they couldn't smell good!
"Achoo! Which brat is talking about me in the middle of the night?" Yami rubbed his nose. At this moment, they were already in the center of Nean Town, but it was eerily empty.
"Excuse me, is anyone home?" Finral knocked on the Nth door. He saw that this door, like the previous ones, was unlocked and swung open with a light knock.
"No one again! Still no one! Where the hell did these damned townspeople go!" Magna said irritably.
"Bastard Magna, you need to be polite to the townspeople!" Yami roared upon hearing this.
"Sorry, Captain Yami, I'll be polite right away!" Magna, hearing Yami's roar from afar, hurriedly bowed at ninety degrees.
"Shhh—" Grey stood behind Yami, motionless, letting out a long sigh.
"The moonlight tonight is indeed beautiful, but Asta seems to have remained in this town. Where could he have gone now?" Gordon muttered to himself on Yami's side.
"Hey! I said, you two should at least move your legs and look around. Are you the Captain or am I? You're even more relaxed than me!" Yami looked at the two deities behind him and complained helplessly.
"Okay, Captain, I'll go look for him, but I'm afraid of scaring people!" Gordon replied very quickly, but no third person heard what he was saying!
"Shhh?" Grey's sighing sound quieted down, then she transformed into Charmy's appearance and also began to take action.
"Wait! You two just follow me!" Yami sighed. He was afraid that they wouldn't find anyone, and he'd lose these two deities instead!
"Okay, Captain, thank you for your concern. You must be worried that something will happen to me, which is why you're letting me follow you closely. But actually, I could curse them!" Gordon thanked him like a gentleman.
"Shhh—" Grey transformed back into her tall, dazed form. Indeed, standing still was her true nature!
