Chapter 72: Gnome awake.

Forest (Dusk)

A dark flash occurred, the area in the forest turned black, gray and white. Salamander in his mature form was lying on the ground completely helpless.

Asta wasn't far from him, he wasn't wearing his clothes anymore, just his pants and his body was completely sweaty. His chest rose and fell but he wasn't tired despite just accomplishing a great feat.

''Hahahaha'' Asta sat down looking very happy, he looked at the sky with excitement, definitely the only thing missing was for Gnome to wake up and Undine to join him.

Salamander returned to his baby form and stared at Asta deeply.

''What?'' Asta asked.

''Nothing...'' Salamander said, the image of Asta displaying a big smile while throwing that technique was still etched in his mind, he's not going to lie. For a moment he was afraid of the man in front of him, he felt as if he was facing a very dangerous existence that just keep moving forward.

''It looks like you saw a ghost'' Asta said as get off his pants and enter to the lake.

Even though Asta spoke, salamander remained silent, processing what he saw a few moments ago.

''Are you dumb now?''

''No, i'm just thinking.''

''It seems that the Legendary Dragon was impressed by a little thing Hahaha''

''Little thing? Asta are you crazy?'' Salamander looked at Asta with a serious expression. This man considers what he did a simple thing? Bullshit!

''Enter to the lake, you smell like shit.''

''Huh?'' Salamander looked at Asta feeling offended but he entered to the lake, but he forgot that he was in his baby form and sank....

Blob! Blob!

Little bubbles came out as Salamander sank.

Asta rushed over and took out the little Dragon, Salamander looked at him with an expression that said forget what you just saw.

''The Legendary Dragon doesn't know how swim!'' Asta couldn't not help but say.

''Shut up!''

''Let Daddy Asta teach you''

''What!? Wait!''

Sounds of dips began to sound.

Minutes later...

''You...'' Salamander looked at Asta with a angry expression.

''Huh? You need to thank me, now you can swim''

''I drink a lot of water because you!'' Salamander pounced on Asta trying to bite him, but it was a big mistake.

MUNCH!

CRACK!

''KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!''

The dying sound of a baby dragon echoed through the forest.

''...Umm, are you okay bro?'' Asta asked as he sees Salamander with a lot of teeth breaked.

Salamander tried to talk but he can't because the pain...

''Poor thing, I will ask Mimosa to heal you'' Asta said as he put his shirt and boots.

''Grrrrrrrrrrra!'' Salamander let out a cry, and then new teeth grew.

''Wow!'' Asta began to clap feeling impressed.

''That's a good ability for a Legendary Dragon like you!''

''Hmpf! Good for you to know.'' Salamander said as he jump and sat on his head.

''What do you say we go for some dragons?'' Asta asked as he started to walk.

''I'm the only Dragon of this world...'' Salamander said with a sad tone.

''...Sorry'' Asta he apologized knowing how bad Salamander must feel.

''It doesn't care for me, i don't need companions.''

''Sure?''

''Yeah''

''Well.'' Asta know that he was lying, being the only dragon in this world must be so lonely for him.

...

Asta arrived at Julius' castle, When he got to the living room, he heard the shouts of emotion from his wives and invaded by curiosity, he quickly entered.

''He's so adorable!'' Lily said as she look the little turtle on Sylph's lap.

"You're here on time, Gnome, wake up!" Noelle said as she walked over to Asta and dragged him over to where Sylph was.

''Gnome!'' Salamander approached Gnome and looked at him with his golden eyes, Gnome opened his brown neon eyes and looked to Salamander's, he slowly tilted his head in a tender way.

''Aww!'' Mimosa seemed to suffer from diabetes as she saw Gnome.

''Touch him.'' Sylph said as she brought Gnome near to Asta.

Asta touched Gnome's head, and he looked at him. His brown eyes glowed for a moment and then closed.

''It seems that he needs a lot of mana'' Asta said.

''Maybe mountains?'' Sylph said as she hugged Gnome.

''Maybe, or deserts too.''

''Asta, we are already three only missing my Sister'' Sylph said as she flashed a incredible beautiful and warm smile.

''Yes, soon we will visit her'' Asta said as he gives back the smile to her.

The girls, Gnome and even Salamander felt a bit stunned seeing how Sylph and Asta looked at each other, on the one hand they could feel that they both felt very attracted but was there something strange? something very intense that they could not understand. And that feeling comes much more intensely from Sylph.

''Who do you mean?'' Noelle asked to Sylph, feeling a lot of curiosity.

''Undine, the spirit of the water is my big sis!'' Sylph said as if she was singing a melody.

''Water spirit!'' Noelle's eyes glowed as the Lily's did. Noelle hugged her husband tightly and said with excitement.

''Definitely i want to met her, husband! i want! i want!'' Noelle said like it was a broken record.

''Calm down Noelle, we will go as soon as we finish everything here, right?'' Asta said as he flashed a small smile.

''Mhm'' Noelle kissed Asta fast, and then looked to Sylph.

''Can you talk me about her'' Noelle said, Sylph nodded and descended slowly Gnome. Gnome started to move towards a place, to be more specific towards where Mimosa who was eating chocolates while looking at the girls and Asta.

Sylph began to tell them about Undine, while Gnome seemed to be attracted by the mana that Mimosa emanated, he walked slowly towards Mimosa until she noticed him and carried him.

''Something happens Gnome?'' Mimosa asked as she looked at Gnome.

''...'' Gnome just opened his neon brown eyes and stared at her. Apparently it was as if Mimosa seemed familiar to him.

As Gnome didn't say anything even though a few moments passed, Mimosa placed him on her lap and continued to listen attentively to Sylph.

''Give me'' Asta approached Mimosa.

''What?'' Mimosa tilted her head as she hide her chocolates.

''...'' Asta narrowed his eyes at her, Mimosa looked side to side playing dumb.

''Mimosa'' Asta said as he grabbed her waist.

''Yes, Love?'' Mimosa looked at Asta with a warm smile.

''Stop eating too much chocolate!'' Asta pushed her down and took her chocolates.

''W-Why?'' Mimosa looked at her husband with puppy eyes.

''Your lips tastes like chocolate every day...'' Asta said as he looked at her eyes.

''You don't like it?'' Mimosa make a sad face.

''Yeah but, if you continue doing this your performance will decline'' Asta said.

''But... I love the chocolates''

''More than me?''

''No!'' Mimosa replied instantly.

''Hahaha'' Asta let out a soft laugh.

''Asta!'' Mimosa hit his chest.

''Yes, Love?'' Asta asked.

Mimosa flashed a naughty smile, she takes a chocolate from Asta and put it on her lips.

''...'' Mimosa hugged his neck and look at him.

''Oh?'' Asta looked at his wife with interest.

''Hmm!'' Mimosa moaned, like if she was saying eat me! Asta enjoined his lips with Mimosa making a lewd escene, The girls and Secre who just joins in the room look at they with a blush on their faces. Except Sylph who looks at this with an interested expression, she summoned her book and wrote more things to do.

As if Mimosa don't care about the girls she wrapped her legs around Asta's waist, then she began to be more agressively.

''You two!'' Noelle said as she looks at they with a blush on her cheeks. Inconciously she gulped as she looked the two tongues sharing the chocolate.

''T-That's very lewd, but why i want to do it?'' Secre muttered as she looked at Mimosa and Asta.

''Hello girls, i'm back!'' Mereoleona just entered in the room, and then she stopped abruptly looking at his cousin... her face turned dark realizing what they are doing.

Mimosa opened an eye and looked at Mereoleona, then she close it and kiss more intense her husband.

''Stop! Stop! You are killing my comrade!'' Salamander said looking like a wild pokemon, he was looking at his friend being crushed by two horny beasts.

''Can you stop!?'' Lily said, she can't watch it anymore. Her face was fully red looking extremely charming.

''Haaa~'' Mimosa stopped and looked at Asta with a blush on her face.

Asta holded her like a princess, dropping Gnome. He looks at the girls with a small smile and then said:

''Let's go out.''

...

Asta and his wives were walking in the streets of the Kingdom, everyone looked at him with respect, someone looked at him with fear too, and some girls looked at him with lust. But Noelle looked at they with an expression that just froze their blood.

''Girls, that is necessary?'' Asta looked at the amount of Food that his subordinates are carrying.

''Yeah, we are going to be out for a moments'' Secre said with a serious expression, she was on Asta's shoulders at her request.

''They are just 100 types of food what are you talking about husband?'' Noelle who was in his arms pouted.

''N-Nothing.'' Asta was almost to fall when he heard 100 types of food, Where the heck does all that food go?

''I hope you help me burn the calories when we get back'' Noelle whispered in his ear.

''Okay''

''Daddy, are you sure about bringing Gnome into mountains will work?'' Sylph said, Gnome was in her embrace.

''I think it can work.'' Asta replied.

''Gnome, likes the mountains too much. Maybe it was because he can get energy from them'' Salamander who was on Mereoleona's head said.

''But he was in caves too'' Sylph said.

''I think a supernatural zone could work much more effectively.'' Lily said.

''Yeah, but it's hard to find one'' Asta said.

While they were walking and talking about various things, they ran into Charlotte who was leaving a blacksmith shop.

''Hi Charlotte'' Mimosa who was carrying chocolates greeted Charlotte first.

''...'' Charlotte stared at them, precisely the adorable turtle and the dragon. Charlotte's body trembled strangely, then she coughed a little and waved.

''Hello, where are you going?'' Charlotte asked, looking the amount of food that their subordinates are carrying.

''We are going to help Gnome, do you want come with us?'' Asta said.

Charlotte began to think about it, since it was not her turn to watch, she decided to accompany them. She was interested in what would happen to the turtle, but she doesn't know that she had made a mistake.

''Cap, what are you doing?'' Sol who was leaving the blacksmith's house, looked at Charlotte. Then she turned her gaze to Asta and his wives.

'What the heck? This man become more handsome or i'm just imagining things? and he has more wives too!?' Sol thought.

''Hi, Sol. Do you want come too?'' Asta said.

Sol unconsciously nodded, and so the group grew larger.

''?'' Gnome who was on Charlotte's embrace looked at her with his neon brown eyes opened.

''...'' Charlotte looked at the turtle with a small smile, Sylph looked at Charlotte with impression. She knew that Gnome felt comfortable in the embrace of people who are kind like him or similar to him, that means that Charlotte is probably not the cold woman that everyone thinks.

''Heh~'' Sylph flashed a naughty smile, feeling interest in Charlotte.

''Huh?'' Mimosa looked her empty hands ''Where are my chocolates?'' Mimosa showed a sad expression as she looks for her Chocolates, her gaze met the Asta's one who has his eyes glowing red, making her body tremble. Of anticipation obviously.

''Yes husband?'' Mimosa looked at Asta with a warm expression, but she was using her magic for search her chocolates.

''...'' Asta ignored Mimosa and hugged tightly Noelle who was bothering him for a while.

''Hmpf!'' Noelle pouted as she felt inmobilized.

''Be still for a moment'' Asta said as his hands sank in one cheek of her butt.

''...'' Noelle's face turned red and she nodded.

Asta felt that there were too many voices speaking at the same time, soon they managed to find a mountainous area. All the girls were positioned behind Asta in a horizontal row, then Asta placed Gnome in the center of the place.

''Girls, listen to me. When this turtle began to glow. We have to run, run very very faster, because it dangerous.'' Asta explain with a serious expression, he was giving the back at Gnome who started to glow brown at the moment he put him on the ground.

The girls looked at him with sweat on their foreheads, they wanted to say that Gnome was already shining but Asta looked very charming with that serious expression, maybe a moment wouldn't be a problem right?

''According to my theory, Gnome will grow instantly.'' Asta explain as he moves his hands in a tender way, The girls began to get even more nervous, Secre couldn't take it anymore and opened her mouth.

''Love, Gnome is already glowing...'' Secre said in an monotone tone.

Asta slowly turned his gaze to Gnome who began to grow.

''Fuck...'' That was Asta's last word before a rumbling sound began to be heard.

Rumbling!
