Dark Clover

7. The Joint Mission With Captains

The wizard king dispatched a group to find and disqualify the bandits 2 days later. Yachio was flying in front of them, showing the whole team the way towards the cave. She wore a black shirt, trouser with black boots and wore her hair in a bun. Yami was so impressed when she was going out of the base that he grabbed her waist and rubbed his stubble on her face to make it more red. Yachio was having fun, but she somehow managed to tell him that Vanessa is calling her, and escaped from there.

She was relieved when she was in missions. 5 members from Black Bull joined, Magna, Luck, Charmy, Asta and Yami himself.
2 members of the Crimson Lion also joined them, personally requested by the Wizard King.
There were Leopold, a short guy around the age of Asta, who'd fight with Asta on the whole way just to prove that Asta cannot cut all of his spells. Then there was the Captain of the Crimson Lion. Yachio saw her during the exam. He was so sophisticated. Just the opposite of Yami. He'd talk to everyone like a gentleman to raise their fighting spirit. Yami and him laughed a lot together.

Then there was this beautiful lady, the Captain of the Blue Rose Knights. Charlotte. She was so beautiful that even Yachio was looking at her for straight one minute before getting on her broom.
She was concerned about the rope scar on Yachio's neck. She was a good person.

The cold wind brushed off her face as she flew over the mountains, laughing off at her own thoughts of leaving this profession.

She closed her eyes and heard the deep voice, "Oi bakayaro, you'll fall down".
Yachio did a roundhouse on air and said, "You are 600 years early for that".
Yami and Fuegeleon laughed hard. Yami was relieved seeing smile on her face. He wanted her to be happy.

He puffed out a smoke when Charlotte came to her side and said, "She could be in my squad if you didn't threatened her. Men are so pathetic."
"Not all men. At least I'm not pathetic. Prickly queen."
Charlotte blushed. She had huge crush on Yami since he saved her from drowning in her curse. But she was tsundere and could never tell anything to him.
Yami flew near Yachio, leaving Charlotte behind.

"How long?"
Yachio responded, "hmm.... Finral let us down 10 minutes ago, so it'd be 15 minutes more."
"Was he flirting with you this morning?"
She chuckled and said, "Jeez, no, he's very kind you know, don't worry you big baby. Don't be jealous."
Yami felt embarrassed. He suddenly went back near Charlotte and started talking to her with whatever topic fluently came to his mind.
"Hey tsun-tsun princess, what is your father's name?"
"NANI!"

Yachio looked behind and bursted out of laughter at his failed attempt to tease her. Asta was shouting as Magna's designing broom almost kicked him off from it, the whole trip was noisy.

The cave appeared.
Yami could sense a strong mana. The people from Crimson lion lit up a torch and let Yachio lead the way inside. She remembered the algorithm of turning ways to find the exit and after crossing several traps safely with help of Asta, they were out in sunlight.

Yachio patted on Asta's back and said, "That's my brother!"
Asta looked relieved by her reaction.
He smiled widely and said, "Yess!".
His sword was hanging on his shoulder and Yami was nowhere to be found.
Yachio's heart stopped for a moment, was he lost in the cave?
Her eyes scanned every place and then Charlotte appeared and asked, "Where's your captain?"
Yachio started trembling, almost having a panic attack, she nodded her head both ways, then a tall guy approached towards her, "Yachio! Don't worry, I know him, I saw him getting out of cave, maybe he strode off somewhere. He's not the weak one. Don't worry about your captain."
Yachio was thinking of something then Magna said, "Maybe he went somewhere to take dump."

Everyone started laughing and Charlotte flew Magna off with her briars. Yachio got confused at this.
They walked towards the place the fight had taken place earlier.
