"I ran off so suddenly just now, do you think he hates me for it?" Mimosa Vermillion fretted.
"Wh-why would you have feelings for that guy? A commoner like him—he's stupid, loud, and neurotic!" Noelle hurriedly listed all of Asta's flaws. She had to stop her cousin from jumping into the fire pit!
"But... these are the things that make him feel cute to me!" Mimosa Vermillion said dreamily.
"No, no, no, that muscle-brained idiot, you shouldn't have feelings for him… No, why is my chest feeling tight too when I hear Mimosa Vermillion likes Asta? No, no, no! I don't care about a guy like that at all!" In the end, Noelle simply held her head and screamed along with Mimosa Vermillion. What was she to do!
"Why are they screaming?" Klaus asked, puzzled.
"Hm? Maybe they have a headache," Yuno explained.
"Sigh, I reckon it's most likely because they're infatuated with me!" Asta said, rubbing his chin.
"Can you stop being so narcissistic? Both Mimosa Vermillion and Noelle are royalty; how could they possibly fall for a guy like you!" Klaus said indignantly. Honestly, he wouldn't even dare to dream of being liked by royalty, yet Asta was actually having delusions of being liked by two princesses at once. It was truly shameless!
"Hey, are you two done yet? If you're done, let's keep moving!" Asta shouted.
"Ahhh! Cousin Noelle, why does my heart speed up reflexively whenever I hear Asta's voice!" Mimosa Vermillion felt she was hopeless.
"What do I do, what do I do? Why is my heart beating faster too!" Noelle also felt like she was about to fall apart.
"I thought you two were fine when we left?" Klaus said, stepping forward.
"It's nothing!" Noelle instantly became cold and aloof.
"I'm fine too, Klaus!" Mimosa Vermillion stopped blushing.
"That's good, let's go!" Asta said cheerfully, placing a hand on the shoulder of each girl.
"Ahhh! Asta put his hand on my shoulder!" Mimosa Vermillion instantly felt her body go weak, and the blush on her face spread to the roots of her ears. Noelle even felt like she was floating. Both of them looked like they had a high fever, but Klaus felt as if he had suffered a blow he couldn't handle at his age.
"Why did the princesses return to normal when I spoke, but as soon as Asta arrived, they started blushing again? Could it be…" Klaus clutched his chest. This damn feeling of heartbreak—he wanted to cry!
"The people at the Magic Knights Headquarters should be waiting for us, let's hurry up!" Yuno urged.
"Okay!" Mimosa Vermillion subtly moved away from Asta's arm, and Noelle did the same. Only then did the group continue on their way.
"By the way, do you guys know where the Magic Knights Headquarters is?" Asta asked.
"The Magic Knights Headquarters should be in this area." As the senior member, Klaus naturally stepped to the front without hesitation, even though he wasn't familiar with the Magic Knights Headquarters either!
"So there are things that Four-Eyes doesn't know about?" Asta said casually.
"Who says Four-Eyes has to know everything? There's no need to come to the Magic Knights Headquarters normally, okay!" Klaus said angrily. He hated it when people questioned his professionalism!
"I didn't expect Klaus to have accepted that nickname without even realizing it…" Yuno couldn't help but retort. Fortunately, Asta hadn't given him any nicknames.
"The teammates have become much more harmonious with Asta. This way, our relationships will be even better, yay!" Mimosa Vermillion thought happily.
"What is that girl Mimosa Vermillion thinking about?" Noelle instantly became nervous. Could this be the feeling of jealousy?
"You're here. I was worried you wouldn't know the way, so I came to wait for you personally." A gorgeously dressed man with short yellow hair suddenly greeted everyone like a sunny boy next door.
"Uh..." Klaus's narrow eyes widened suddenly when he saw the young man, and then he immediately crouched down. "I didn't expect you to greet us personally!"
"Magic Emperor…" Noelle and Mimosa Vermillion also crouched to the ground in shock.
"Could this person be?" Yuno already had a guess in his mind.
"You must be the Magic Emperor!" Asta spoke directly. The old woman he had seen at the black market that day must have been this person.
"Idiot, idiot, hurry up and pay your respects to the Magic Emperor!" Klaus really wanted to stand up and pin Asta to the ground right now…
"This is the current Magic Emperor, Julius Novachrono!" Yuno opened his mouth in shock.
"Hahaha, no need for formalities, everyone, hurry up and get up!" Julius laughed and waved his hand, saying without any airs, "Follow me, it's quieter at the top of the tower."
"Right! Understood!" Klaus stood up in a hurry, then respectfully followed behind Julius.
"Asta, this is the Magic Emperor, aren't you nervous?" Noelle couldn't help but whisper.
"For a powerhouse who is wholeheartedly trying to protect us, you should feel a sense of closeness!" Asta laughed.
"It seems... that really is the case, isn't it?" Noelle was instantly brainwashed...
"Damn it, Asta's assimilation ability is getting stronger and stronger. First Klaus, then Noelle..." Yuno couldn't help but worry. If Asta became the Magic Emperor in the future, would there be a bunch of Roaring Emperors in this world!
"Haha, little Asta is right. You don't need to feel nervous; I'm very friendly towards others!" Julius suddenly turned his head, giving everyone a fright.
"What? Even the Magic Emperor is being assimilated! No, no! To prevent this world from being filled with heart-wrenching roars while people are dreaming in the morning, I must become the Magic Emperor!" Yuno was now even more determined to become the Magic Emperor; he didn't want the world to become 'roaring-fied'!
"Understood, Lord Magic Emperor!" Klaus, on the contrary, became even more nervous. Seeing this, Julius didn't say anything more, because he was afraid of making Klaus even more nervous!
"Alright, let's talk here!" Upon reaching the top of the tower, Julius suddenly seemed like a different person. He was no longer dignified and asked eagerly, "Yuno, I heard you obtained an incredible magic. Can you let me see it?"
"Of course!" Yuno quickly handed over his grimoire. To be honest, he was completely confused about his newly acquired magic and happened to want to ask someone for advice.
