Third Person's POV

A puff of smoke passed over Mr. Rabbit's annoyed face.

Another puff again and Mr. Rabbit popped an irk mark.

"Will you... stop that?" Mr. Rabbit said in a restrained voice.

Absolem, now we're calling Caterpillar, to not get mixed up with the 'upcoming names', *wink* *wink*, only looked at Mr. Rabbit blankly before looking up at Mady who is wandering around the potion shop.

"Can we get rid of the rat, Lineè?" Caterpillar had asked Mady. (It is pronounced as, 'Lin-ey')

"Who in the world is 'Lineè'? And who are you calling rat, you stupid worm!" Mr. Rabbit tried to charge at the blue caterpillar but Mady already snatched Caterpillar away from the table that he is perched at and placed him on her shoulder.

"Now, now, Mr. Rabbit. Let us not get rough with Caterpillar. Caterpillar can be wise on some situations that Mr. Rabbit does not understand." Mady said, continuing on staring at the shelves.

Caterpillar smirked. "Well, I agree, Lineè, but I refuse to believe that he is intellectual enough to understand such deep words, after all, he is just a mere... rat."

That's it. Mr. Rabbit snapped.

"How dare you call me an idiot, you ugly earthworm!" He tried to jump up but Mady stepped away.

"Oh yeah? Define 'Earthworm'." Caterpillar fueled the fire.

"For your information, and if I say information, I meant to say that you shove this inside your stupid, pygmy brain, if you even have one, that Earthworms are terrestrial annelid  worms from class Oligochaeta, especially if it is the family of, Lumbricidae, which, dear Absolem, are widely distributed hermaphroditic worms that move through the soil by means of setae and feed on decaying organic matter, which is a pity because YOU, YOURSELF! EAT ROTTING LEAVES ON A DAILY BASIS! ISN'T THAT RIGHT?!" Mr. Rabbit yelled out in one breath.

(Ahhh.. I love Merriam-Webster XD)

Vanessa chuckled to the side and commented how intelligent Mr. Rabbit can be.

"Calm down, Mr. Rabbit." Mady giggled.

Mr. Rabbit huffed, straightened out his waistcoat and fished his pocketwatch out to check the time as he hopped away.

"Not much of a social person huh? Or in the rat's case, social critter." Caterpillar said to Mady, completely unfazed by Mr. Rabbit's speech.

"I heard that, parasite!" Mr. Rabbit yelled from outside of the shop.

Caterpillar perked up, "Oh yeah? Define 'Parasite', critter!" He yelled back.

Then they heard a groan of frustration, "Not this again!"

●○●

"Finally. We have finished shopping." Vanessa said, heaving a sigh of relief as she carried two paper bags of potions while Mady only carried one filled with toilet papers.

"Finral would be back on the street by now, I suppose." Vanessa muttered as they head out of the Black Market and into the busy streets of Clover Town, where the sun is already touching the houses' walls, indicating that it is already early in the afternoon.

"Finral-san!" Mady waved at Finral who smiled brightly before it vanished as he looked at the glaring Mr. Rabbit and also Caterpillar.

'Oh great. The bodyguards multiplied.' Finral thought as he shook his head and opened up a portal back to headquarters as requested by Vanessa.

When they arrived, they saw a big water sphere with Noelle inside it.

"Oh no! What happened to Miss Noelle?" Mady asked with a worried expression.

"Freaked out. Lost control. Sphere." Caterpillar said as he observed the area with glinting eyes.

"That's what really happened earlier!" Asta pointed out in awe as he looked at Caterpillar.

"Looks like your friend has a sharp mind and observation skills there, Miss Madyline." Vanessa said.

Mady looked at Caterpillar, then to Mr. Rabbit and back to Caterpillar with expectant eyes, asking him to make a move and tell them what to do.

Caterpillar blew a puff of smoke, looked at Yami with a hard stare and scolding tone, he said, "Well, what the bloody hell are you waiting for? Use the short brat's sword to cancel out Silver girl's magic." Caterpillar said to Yami who only shrugged, pulled Asta by his clothes and threw him to the water sphere.

"WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME?!?!" Asta shouted as he descended  to the sphere in a fast rate.

He took out his sword and swung it, successfully breaking off the mana circulating around the sphere and now Noelle and him are falling down.

Luckily, Mady brought a big vine up to catch Noelle on time while Asta's face just went in contact with the ground.

"Why'd you left me out?!" Asta complained to Mady who only smiled at him apologetically.

Noelle sat up, looking at everyone with shame on her face.

"You..." Asta started. Noelle thought that he is going to make fun of her but he only slapped Noelle's back. "You have some crazy powerful magic there! I'm so jealous!" Asta said.

Mady smiled at her, "Mady, Mr. Rabbit and Caterpillar can also give Miss Noelle a hand when it comes to practicing her magic." She said, only resulting for Noelle to almost cry.

IT'S A SHORT CHAPTER BUT...

PETIT CLOVERRRRRR!!!

Chibi Asta and Mady appears on the screen with news report sound effects...

"Now! We are back on the Buracko Crover (Black Clover hehe) News Report!" Chibi Asta said.

Chibi Mady held up her small arms, "Hai! Hai!"

Chibi Asta turns to Mady with a cute smile, "How are you partner? Any good stuff to tell the readers?"

Chibi Mady nods her head, "Mady is quite alright, partner! Thanks for asking. On the other hand, yes! Mady has good stuff to tell the readers!"

Village of Sloshy (?) appears on the screen behind the two Chibi characters.

"The reader has made progress and is heading for the next episode of The Mad Hatter, where Mady will meet t---!" Chibi Asta covered Mady's mouth with a grin.

"No spoilers!" Mr. Rabbit shouted.

Focus shifts and shows Chibi Mr. Rabbit beside Chibi Caterpillar.

"Mady is going to meet tw---! Hey! My Tobacco!" Mr. Rabbit threw the cigarette away.

"Keep the News Report PG, stupid Parasite." Mr. Rabbit huffed.

"Well, you're one to talk." Caterpillar countered and pulled out another Tobacco.

Camera shift back to Chibi Mady and Asta.

"That's it for the Buracko Crover News Report!" Chibi Mady waved.

"See ya in the next chapter!" Chibi Asta followed with also a wave.

"Byeee!!!"
