The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 21: A Sweet Potato Feast! Heading to the Capital!

That night.

Inside the brightly lit church, everyone sat together around a long dining table.

The priest, who was usually frugal, unusually lit both oil lamps. The light from the lamps was somewhat yellowish, but it filled the entire church with a warm atmosphere.

Miki remembered that the last time they lit the church's only two oil lamps was half a year ago, when the three of them obtained the magic book.

The progress of civilization in the Black Clover world is somewhat similar to the Middle Ages, but since it possesses supernatural powers like magic, there are still some differences overall.

However, for the poor or lower classes, this difference is not significant. For example, the oil lamps used in their churches are very inexpensive lighting tools.

Some wealthy people have long been using devices that utilize magical lighting.

The gap between the rich and the poor in this world is huge, and the only opportunity to transcend class is to take the entrance exam for the Magic Knights.

This is why everyone in the entire Clover Kingdom is so eager to take the Magic Knights exam.

Golden Dawn, one of the nine great magic knight orders that Yuno joined in the future, gave Yuno a detached villa as soon as he successfully joined. Not to mention how luxurious it was, the size of the bedroom alone was almost as big as half of their church.

Such a villa is nothing in the eyes of the other members of Golden Dawn, because apart from Yuno, all the members of Golden Dawn are nobles.

It seems that William Vankins, the leader of the Golden Dawn, knew that Yuno had no place to stay in the capital, so he simply gave Yuno a place to live.

"Tomorrow, Asta, Yuno, and Yuuki will be heading to the capital. Let's have a banquet today to celebrate."

The priest, unusually, appeared somewhat unsteady in front of everyone, and began to speak with a loud laugh.

Momo's heart skipped a beat. Three spots?
He remembered that there were only two spots in the anime, and he was worried that Asta would lose his spot because of his appearance, as it was the most important annual entrance exam for the Magic Knights.

Countless people throughout the Clover Kingdom wanted to participate, but naturally not everyone could go. Instead, the participants were recommended by the administrators of the local Magic Book Tower.

Miki didn't know exactly what happened, but the priest's help was definitely involved.

Think of this.

As Mumu watched the priest stand up, hands on his hips, laughing heartily, a warmth spread through his heart.

Simultaneously.

Out of the corner of his eye, Yuki glanced at Yuno sitting on the other side. The appearance of the third spot was probably related to Yuno in some way.

The appearance of a four-leaf clover spellbook in such a small place would be hard for an old mage not to report, so asking for a spot shouldn't be too difficult.

"The priest went to several villages to get a lot of sweet potatoes, which is why we have such a sumptuous sweet potato dinner today."

Sister Lily spoke with a gentle expression.

"Thank you, Father!"

"Father, you are wonderful!"

"........."

A series of chattering sounds came from several young children around the dining table.

"Father!"

Asta looked incredibly moved.

"What kind of look is that? This wasn't just made for you."

The priest was happy to see everyone so happy, but he still pretended to be disgusted and spoke to Asta.

"I will strive to become the Magic Emperor, and then return in glory to marry Sister Lily..."

Asta stood up from the table and chair, and spoke loudly under everyone's gaze.

boom!
As soon as the word "marriage" was uttered, a water fist that seemed to materialize out of thin air sent Asta flying against the wall.

This left everyone present looking helpless.

"Alright everyone, let's eat! Today we have roasted sweet potatoes, sweet potato tempura, fried sweet potatoes, stir-fried sweet potatoes, stewed sweet potatoes, Hag-style boiled sweet potatoes, sweet potato juice..."

After Sister Lily knocked Asta away, she continued to introduce the many dishes on the table to everyone with an unchanging smile.

Everyone was stunned. Looking at the various sweet potato dishes on the table, Momo's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Including his previous life, he had never eaten so many kinds of food made from sweet potatoes in both of his lifetimes.

There was nothing they could do about it; after all, their village of Haji was extremely poor, and the church needed to support so many children. These sweet potatoes were already considered a very good food.

"Sister Lily, your cooking skills have improved again."

Yumu praised him somewhat insincerely.

Sister Lily covered her mouth and laughed happily: "Hehe, thank you for the compliment!"

A dinner party consisting entirely of sweet potatoes was held in a warm and lively atmosphere.

"Squeak..."

"Chirp."

In the early morning, the chirping of birds could be heard from all around.

Outside the entrance to Haji Village.

The priest, Sister Lily, and the other children in the church all looked at Mumu, Asta, and Yuno, who were about to leave.

"Brother Mogi, Brother Yuno, and Asta, remember to write back."

"Be careful on the road."

"Come back soon."

The voices of children rang out.

"Hey Nash! Why do you only call me Asta?!"

Asta looked at Nash, who had short red hair and was trying to look cool, and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Humph."

Nash snorted and turned his head away.

This greatly annoyed Asta, but he quickly burst into laughter.

Mumu reached out and patted Asta on the shoulder, then looked at the priest and nun Lily standing behind him, who hadn't said a word.

Originally, he wanted to say something, but seeing the two priests smiling at them, he simply nodded to them.

Some things don't necessarily need to be said aloud.

"Let's go."

Miki turned around and waved to the back.

Asta and Yuno also turned around and followed Yuki away along the relatively smooth dirt road.

“Say something, Yuno.”

Asta strode forward, put his hands behind his head, and turned his head slightly to look at Yuno, who had remained silent.

Yuno's expression remained unchanged as she quickly took a few steps forward and came to Yumu's side.

"You guy!"

Asta stomped his foot hard, then quickly followed.

The capital of the Three Herbs Kingdom was much farther away from their village, Haji. So, apart from their daily training and matches, the three spent their time either eating or traveling.

Yuki also saw the unique appearance of this world and magical beasts with magical power, but unfortunately most of the magical beasts were not very strong, which disappointed Yuki.

As they drew closer to the capital, Asta grew increasingly excited, and Yuno's emotions also fluctuated.

"Are we finally almost there?"

The three of them stood on the cliff, looking at the vast capital city that was already faintly visible in the distance, their voices filled with more enthusiasm.
