The Beast and the Sword Book 2: The Changes

Page 48: The Friendly Little Devil PT2

A couple of hours had gone by as the group had left to retrieve the flower, as it had been a bit hectic. It had been hard to take care of a couple of sick patients especially since some of them were pretty much as high as a kite. Though Yami somehow managed with the stubborn young princess to finally sleep; most of the spirits had gathered around her as they rested at her side. He had let out a sigh of relief as he had set aside a book as it had been titled: Robin Hood.

    He had been the only one attending to the sickly as the others had been taking a break.

    "Who knew she could get really demanding when she's in this state." Yami said.before he patted her head. She groaned in her sleep as she turned on her side.

Before leaving the room, he poured some salt along the window sill, just as he noticed a tainted outside the window. It tried to go through the glass but let out a shriek when a barrier sparked the moment it touched.

    Yami flipped the Tainted off, "Go bother someone else for a change!"

    He soon went out and shut the door behind him as he heaved a sigh.

"Oh well, time to check on that meathead and ice girl."

Yami soon walked into the room were Asta and Feodora--Only to find they weren't there along with their grimoires.

Yam's eyes twitched at this, "Oh---SON OF A B--" In a fit of rage he broke down the wall with his fist alone, shattering it in an instant, as he took out his cigarette.

As he stormed out, Gooden was going to get pillows for her nephew Pluck but not before she noticed a very angry captain and quickly noticed the damage as well

""Hold it, Yami." Gooden said "Wanna tell me why I shouldn't use my thumb on you?"

"Take a good look at the room." Was all Yami repealed as he walked.

Gooden was confused as she looked into Asta and Feodora's room only to see they weren't there

"WHAT THE F--" Gooden shouted before sparks of Neon magic shot through the ceiling making some people upstairs shriek.

Though this had gotten the attention of Nozel, Jack and Rill who had already been in the headquarters.

"Yami? Gooden?" Rill said, "What's going on?"

"If you want to tear down the base, you can do it elsewhere!" Nozel said.

"NOT NOW, NOZEL!" Gooden shouted before she took a deep breath. "I'm sorry..Yami and I just found out we have two sick kids missing."

"NOT OUR BABY!" Cadfan and Yukiko screeched as they suddenly rushed in as they had just arrived.

"It's not Pluck don't worry." Gooden told them as they sighed. "It's Asta and Feodora."

The couple screeched once more as they dropped what they were going to give to Pluck.

"The kid can't fly so he must've woken up the ice girl--" Yami explained, "--They took off on a broom!"

"What?!" Nozel exclaimed.

Jack had commented, "KEKE--of all the reckless things to do. Those two are pretty ballsy, I'll give them that!"

"Don't encourage this!" Yami said, "Keep an eye on the Lizard Girl and her Familiars for me--I'm gonna go and find them!"

"I'm going too." Nozel told him, "I can't trust you to get this job done. alone"

"Oh how sweet. but no thanks." Yami told him.

"Come on--" Nozel said as he already went towards the exit, "--We'll track Helmet's mana. If we hurry we'll be able to catch them."
