It appeared as if humanity will soon be destroyed by the demons.
But there was a mage who fought alone and saved everyone.
He was called the Magic Emperor and became a legend.
It's beautiful.
Where is this?
Is it
heaven?
How could I have died?
Sorry.
Asta.
What are you talking about?
There's no way you would die.
Yuno?
Noelle and Mimosa too.
Even Mr. Four Eyes is here.
We were worried about you.
Thank goodness.
I was thinking
what do we do if you never wake up!
How long are you going to hug each other?
Hey, I'm injured!
What?
Did I really sleep all day?
Yes, and you were snoring really loudly.
You were having a good sleep.
This means that you have exhausted all your strength during the battle.
We wanted to fight together with you.
But when we arrived,
the Eye of the Midnight Sun had already escaped.
The intel came in too late.
We came here to take care of you
after you'd been brought here to the church.
Mimosa, thank you for your Healing Magic.
No, I didn't do much.
It was Mr. Klaus who took care of you the most.
Anyway, because of you guys,
the abducted children are all back safely.
Also, Neige, who was involved in the crime,
has been taken to headquarters for investigation.
I'm afraid he doesn't know anything about the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
Considering that he has repented
and that there was no malice,
it seems like they might have him volunteer at this church
to atone for his actions.
I see. A job like this suits him.
All in all, you did great this time.
Had I been there,
I wouldn't have allowed the Eye of the Midnight Sun to escape.
I'll definitely get them next time.
Yuno, I will never lose to you!
I will be much stronger than I am now!
I'll be even stronger than you.
In that case, I will be much stronger than you.
And then one day, I will...
-be the Magic Emperor. -Be the Magic Emperor.
You two really have a good relationship.
No way.
Then it's time for us to leave as well.
Okay.
I almost forgot to mention that Sister Theresa just woke up.
Gauche should be with her right now.
Hello, I'm here to visit you.
You stubborn crone.
Is this the attitude to have when you're visiting someone?
Start over again,
you sister-loving hooligan.
What did you say?
I'll give you a final blow. Just die, you crone.
Try me.
You'll go back to prison as soon as you lift a finger.
A sister-loving hooligan with a criminal record.
Gauche, don't fight!
I'll stop since Marie asked me to.
Well, I'm only grateful to you for taking care of Marie,
stupid crone.
At least you're mature enough now to show some appreciation.
Also,
I'm glad you survived.
Is that so?
All right, my angel Marie.
Give me a reward for not getting hurt.
Sorry to bother you.
It's Asta!
I was worried about you.
I'm not going to die.
I should have just killed you.
You are still immature, after all.
Granny, are you feeling better?
Who do you think I am?
Anyway, if you tell Sister Lily
about your good performance,
she'll be very happy.
That's true.
Sister Lily, I'll be the Magic Emperor soon.
And I'll come back for you!
Asta, it's almost time for us to go back.
No, I have another place to go to.
It's so tasty!
It's really delicious.
Is that so?
I prepared the dishes in advance
so that you can eat a lot when you wake up.
But it seems like I've made a little too much.
What's this?
It's ridiculously good.
I'll kill you.
Gosh, Gauche.
I can eat more.
So it's true that boys like girls who can cook well.
Asta, thank you for lending me your robe.
Sure! Did you keep your promise to not dirty it?
Yes.
Although the robe is not dirty,
you've got bruises all over your body.
You really can't do anything without me, can you?
But even if you were around, I'd still get injured.
-Someone who will fight with you? -Shut up, Idiosta.
-I'm not Mimosa. -I can't win against that.
-That's right. -Asta.
I'm sorry. I'll take his first kiss.
Asta, thank you for saving Luca and Marco.
Okay, you're welcome.
Wait...
Dwarfsta, have you completely digested your breakfast?
Yes.
Great.
To celebrate your recovery, we're going to have
the traditional Black Bull's eating competition!
This time, it's nomotatoes pie.
Thank you so much.
I'm dead hungry.
Did we have such a practice?
I don't think so.
Anyway, have a fight with me.
I really want to have a fight with the Third Eye.
Marie, we've been apart for half a day.
I would also like to give Asta a surprise.
I'll pass.
Eating all this will cause indigestion, making it hard to fall asleep.
Same here. I'll pass.
What are you trying to get a royalty like me to do?
Stop talking nonsense.
We're all taking part.
Yami, please be the judge!
Stop talking so much
and get ready.
Go.
It's so tasty!
It's instantly dehydrating me.
Wait, I haven't started eating yet but I'm already full.
-Here. What? -Finral, you jerk.
Don't put food into Luck's stomach using Spatial Magic.
He found out?
You know, it's really hard to swallow this
-if there isn't a pretty lady feeding me. -You're disqualified.
Fire Magic, Explosive Reheating!
I thought it would taste better if I baked it again.
It turned out to be too burnt!
You're disqualified.
I could finish another serving easily!
Hey.
Gordon, why are you there?
You can eat me. Here.
You're disqualified for being too creepy.
Rather than this nonsense, I'd like Marie to...
You're not eating at all. You're both disqualified.
Water.
These two are already out of the game.
The ones remaining are...
Asta and Charmy are head-to-head!
All right!
I'll show you how I can win without magic.
The result is...
Charmy wins without using magic.
Better luck next time, kid.
My identity!
-I knew it. -I knew it.
That seal...
Is it a letter from Royal Capital?
Is there a case? Do we have to get moving?
Stop talking. Go and have a rest.
That's what I'd like to say,
but it seems that the Magic Emperor wants to see you.
The Magic Emperor?
The captains will have a conference tomorrow.
He says to take you along.
What would he want from me?
I don't know.
We'll find out when we're there.
Sir.
I have informed
all the captains of the Magic Knights regarding the conference tomorrow.
Thank you, Marx.
I don't want to believe it,
but there is a traitor among us helping the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
Tomorrow, we'll find out who that is.
But will it really go as planned?
Everything
will depend on Asta.
We have been waiting for you,
Captain of Black Bull, Yami,
and Asta.
Wait. Who are you?
I guess this is the first time we've talked face-to-face.
-I am-- -Mushroom Head.
Yes, I am Mushroom Head.
Hold it. Don't be rude!
I'm Marx.
I'm one of the Magic Emperor's advisers.
The Magic Emperor's adviser?
Mushroom Head is so powerful.
Well, it's tough every day.
And I'm not Mushroom Head. I'm Marx.
So where is the conference, Mushroom Head?
I'm Marx.
Because it'll take some time to prepare for the conference,
please wait with the other captains.
Can you come with me, Asta?
Asta, you were amazing the other day.
I think the Magic Emperor will award you with at least another ten stars.
Is that for real? All right!
So, what is this place?
It's a secret underground cell that almost nobody in Royal Capital knows about.
We detain important prisoners here.
Important prisoners?
You know that we've captured
the members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun who attacked the Royal Capital, right?
So, in the underground cell...
Yes. Their memories are all protected by magic.
So we still aren't able to get any intel on the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
But the Magic Emperor thought of
using your Anti Magic Sword to break the magic.
The attack on the Royal Capital...
They are always a step ahead of us.
For them to be able to do that,
it'd be impossible without the help of someone from the inside.
So I'm afraid we have a traitor among us.
And that person is someone of high ranking.
Someone who's on a level of a squad captain.
What?
We don't want to believe it either,
so we'd like to confirm it.
Here we are.
Okay.
Hello.
Hi, Asta. You did a great job back then.
Magic Emperor, thank you!
I'm sorry to summon you here when you're still so tired.
But only you can wield the Anti Magic Sword.
By the way,
you fought with the upper echelon of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, right?
What kind of magic do they use?
What kind of magic?
What did you say? Imitation Magic?
Is it the ability to copy other people's magic?
How powerful.
What? And Beast Magic?
I've never heard of that magic.
What? Spirit Magic?
Fire? Salamander?
I really want to see each one with my own eyes.
Excuse me...
Sir.
All right, sorry.
Now then, Asta, could you give it a try?
Can you do it?
I believe so! As you wish, Magic Emperor!
What's that kid going to do?
Crap.
He's the kid who can use Anti Magic.
They're trying to dispel the magic that's protecting our memories.
Don't.
Kid, I told you to stop it!
Here I go!
Marx, now.
Yes.
Memory Communication Magic,
Mémoire Absolue.
What's this?
I've made connections directly in their heads
and this magic allows me to collect their real memories.
Now they can't hide it anymore.
Amazing.
Right? Amazing magic, right?
It's so cool, right?
Yes.
You're too noisy. Please be quiet.
-Yes. -Yes.
I have a few questions for you.
Please answer them honestly.
Okay?
-Yes. -Yes.
CAPTAIN OF PURPLE ORCA GUELDRE POIZOT
I heard about your performance in Nairn.
I didn't expect the core members of the terrorists to escape
even with the presence of four captains.
CAPTAIN OF GREEN MANTIS JACK THE RIPPER
They are nothing like the weaklings you guys were dealing with
from Diamond Kingdom and Spade Kingdom!
Says the captain of a squad with fewer stars than mine.
Are you sure you didn't do something underhanded to earn those stars?
The gleam of a new katana sure is different.
Although the ten-year installment is a bit painful to pay.
Just calm down,
you skinny guy.
Garbledre is just speaking the truth.
My name is Gueldre.
I don't want to talk to people like you who doesn't have any stars.
What? I have a bunch of them. Black stars.
Which means you've got none. How can you be proud of that?
You two are so noisy.
Shut up, Foreigner.
What? Does Mr. Royalty want to join in the conversation too?
This is foolish.
We're getting nowhere because of these noisy men.
Why is Yami sitting next to me?
Charlotte, calm down.
Take it easy.
CAPTAIN OF AZURE DEER RILL BOISMORTIER
The temporary captain of Crimson Lion hasn't been decided yet, right?
If Fuegoleon was here,
he would defuse our disputes skillfully.
The atmosphere feels tense somehow.
As the youngest one, I must try to ease the atmosphere.
Watch me.
I'm imitating Fuegoleon.
What are you doing?
Just because you're the youngest person to become the captain
doesn't mean you can mess around.
What?
You're a funny kid.
I'm sorry to have kept everyone waiting.
CAPTAIN OF GOLDEN DAWN WILLIAM VANGEANCE
I'm sorry I'm late.
Vangeance, why are you so late?
Nothing. It's just I had something on.
You must be busy.
After all, your squad got the most number of stars this season,
Captain Charisma.
I wish you could tell me
the secret to becoming the strongest squad that fast.
I heard that people who join your squad
are more talented than the ordinary.
Do you have the magical power to see a person's future?
I don't have such amazing power.
It's just that the members themselves are hardworking.
I hope that
a rich businessman like you can teach me how to accumulate wealth.
That's a trade secret.
Actually, I've always been thinking about this.
Your laughter is disgusting.
Why did you say that now?
And you look like a boneless piece of ham.
Vangeance.
What were you doing on the day of the award ceremony?
According to the regulations, the captain of the squad
has to be present with the members.
Or was there something so important that stopped you from coming?
I went to gamble.
And I lost all my money. Sorry.
I'm not asking you.
The atmosphere is growing tense again.
I'm going to succeed this time!
And you.
If you're trying to imitate me,
you'd better prepare yourself for the consequences.
That's right.
That braid over your face.
It's not so easy to style it like that.
You are really interesting.
Stop cornering him like that.
You don't use Light Magic, after all.
That's true too.
It's getting really tense.
Watch me!
I'm imitating Yami's face.
Shut up, you soft-headed kid.
I think you must be a spoiled kid.
I'm not going to be nice to you.
He laughed at the others but now he's agitated.
And you, don't just keep on sleeping!
Can you communicate by snoring?
I don't understand what you're trying to say!
Sir Julius has gathered us here, but where is he?
Don't tell me he asked us here and forgot about it.
Did he go somewhere? That old man!
-That's very likely. -That's very likely.
Captains, sorry to have kept you waiting.
We're all ready.
Please head to another room for the conference--
What? Come over and talk to me.
What? Why is he agitated?
Little Brat, did you manage to help?
Yes, sir. Great work, sir!
Does he need to take a dump or something?
What can I do for you, Magic Emperor?
The two of them are from the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
Did you find out something?
Yes, we found out a lot.
Thanks to Marx and Asta.
We found the most important piece of information.
We found out that there is a traitor among you
helping the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
-Petite Clover! -Petite Clover!
Memory Communication Magic.
Mémoire Absolue.
I have a few questions for you.
Please answer honestly.
Yes.
If you are asked if you like your job as a Magic Emperor
or as a fan of magic, which one would you choose?
A fan of magic.
I knew it! Then...
What do you think of me?
Although a little naggy,
I appreciate that you always get the work done.
Is that so?
Because of that, I can concentrate more on my obsession with magic
rather than being the Magic Emperor.
What?
There is a traitor among the captains?
Magic Knights must be the vision of everyone in Clover Kingdom.
I will correct your corrupted mind thoroughly.
Black Clover, Page 39,
"Three-Leaf Salute."
I won't spare the traitor!
