Black Clover (ブラッククローバー)

It appeared as though humanity would be destroyed by the demons.

But a single mage saved them all.

He was called the Wizard King, and he became a legend.

Asta and the other Black Bulls headed to the beach town of Raquey

in order to go to the Underwater Temple that lay deep beneath the water there.

Asta and the other Black Bulls received an order

to retrieve the magic stone in the temple

so they can stop the Eye of the Midnight Sun,

who want to separate from the Clover Kingdom and create their own country.

But...

Why are you all playing around?!

And you're not?

C-Captain Yami...

All right, gather round, you idiots.

Apparently the Underwater Temple really is at the bottom of the ocean.

But the mana kicks up the ocean currents so much that,

ordinarily, even a first-class mage can't get near it.

But on the night of the full moon,

the mana becomes weaker. We might be able to get in then.

Like the name suggests, the Underwater Temple is on the ocean floor.

We can't just walk to it.

So Noelle...

Take us there with your water magic.

Give us a ride there.

B-But I'd need incredible magic control in order to do that.

I can't!

You do it.

The next full moon is a week away.

Learn to control it by then.

Surpass your limits.

The Water Girl Grows Up

Where are you going?

Oh, I just thought I'd let in some fresh air.

I see. So...

What's your foot doing there?

Hey, now, how did that get there?

This foot is so rude.

You were planning to forget your work and go out to play, weren't you?

What? Now, why would I go out to play?

I just wanted to go observe some magic—

You don't have time for that!

Please do your work for once!

Hurry up and shut that window!

Right...

Honestly... We haven't even resolved the incident with the Eye of the Midnight Sun yet.

Don't be so angry, Marx.

You're gonna die young.

And whose fault is that?!

The Eye of the Midnight Sun, eh?

I hope Yami and the others are doing well.

I just hope they aren't fooling around.

I wish I could've gone to the Underwater Temple.

I feel sick from drinking too much...

I'll be the sun that'll make you shine.

You bastard! How dare you eat my pudding?!

It was yummy!

I wrote my name on it!

Other people's food always tastes better!

You bastard!

Goodnight, my angel.

Munchy, munchy, munchy, munchy, munchy...

Seconds, please!

Knock it off, you assholes!

We're not here to play! I can't concentrate like this!

I'll kill you all!

Sorry!

What a beautiful voice. I wonder if she's from Raquey.

It's so beautiful and ethereal...

Are these bubbles magic?

Whoa, is she a water spirit?

Eek! You heard that?

How embarrassing!

Eek!

Oh. She's not like what I'd imagined.

Well, now that you've heard me, there's no way around it. Let's be friends!

La-dee-dah!

Friends?

I'm Kahono. What are your names?

I'm Noelle. The meathead is Stupidsta.

Who are you calling "Stupidsta the meathead"?!

Ah, so Noelle and Stupidsta the meathead.

What a strange name.

Wait, don't believe her! How naïve are you?!

Huh?

That's totally a nickname, and she's making fun of me!

It's Asta! My name's Asta!

I see. Nice to meet you, Asta!

So what were you doing out here, Kahono?

I was singing.

Well, yeah, I could see that.

I was doing vocal training.

I love singing at this spot.

Training?

Yup! I have a dream!

I want to be a singing, dancing, magic-using...

idol!

What's an idol?

What?!

You don't know?!

Nope.

They're all the rage in the Common Realm and Noble Realm right now!

Oh...

Well, you see... So, you see... Well...

Idols are popular people who can sing, dance, and use magic!

Huh...

I'm going to become a famous idol and get super rich!

So you're after money?

What's so great about money, anyway?

If you do have it, it's just in the way.

It's not in the way! Money's important!

You've never had to worry about not having money, so you wouldn't understand.

But money's really important!

You can't eat tatoes without any money!

If you don't have any tatoes, why don't you just eat steak?

Damned royalty!

Yeah! Money's really important.

I totally understand what Stupidsta's saying!

Seriously, who are you calling "Stupidsta"?!

Was it Kasta?

I told you, it's Asta!

Oh, right. As—Oh?

What?

Stupidsta, your body's weakened.

It's Asta, damn it!

Huh?

What?

Your muscles are pretty fatigued.

Are they?

Do you ache when you move?

Wait, how can you tell?

That's my power.

Power?

Don't worry. You'll feel better in a sec.

Song Recovery Magic: Healing Lullaby.

This is...

She pinpointed each individual spot. What precise magic use.

H-How do you feel?

Well, I feel...

This is awesome! I don't hurt anywhere anymore!

My body feels so light!

My muscles aren't fatigued anymore!

Thank you, Kahono! You're amazing!

I've never seen song recovery magic before.

Great!

Okay, that'll be 100 yuls per session.

You're charging me?!

Just kidding!

Good...

Or not!

You're really charging me?!

Money's important, right?

Here...

One hundred.

Thank you kindly.

Just let me know when you want me to sing for you again.

My hundred yuls...

That's just spare change.

How is that spare change?!

I can buy at least ten tatoes with that!

See? It is change.

Damned royalty!

You're both really funny.

How old are you?

Fifteen...

Same here.

Really? I'm fifteen, too!

We're the same!

Really?

Hey, let's be friends!

Sure, count me in. You're pretty funny.

A girl my age... who's a friend?

This is my first one.

W-Well, if you insist, I guess I don't mind.

I'm willing to be your friend.

Yay!

Oh, sorry. I'm so happy, I couldn't help myself.

Really?

I see. So you're both Magic Knights.

That's amazing!

I-It's no big deal.

It's to be expected for me. I'm royalty.

I'm a peasant, though.

So, what brings you to Raquey? Taking a vacation?

We're on an important mission.

We're actually trying to get to the Underwater Tem—
