Chereads / Black clover: Reincarnating as the strongest character / Chapter 78 - I was being serious though

Chapter 78 - I was being serious though

After Charmy was done collecting the fruits from the tree monsters Sekke defrosted the trees and set them free.

Seeing the tree monsters run back to the forest, Seeke sighed and picked up a fruit that Charmy collected.

"So was that it or do you have some more plans?" asked Sekke.

"La! We are just getting started Sekke-kun!" declared Charmy as she pumped up her fist in the air.

"Well, as long as you let me taste those delicious dishes as well," said Sekke as Secre landed on his shoulder and nodded her head as well.

Charmy showed a thumbs up to Sekke as she took out a map from her bag.

Sekke smiled seeing his excited senior and just fell back on the sheep standing behind him.

After Charmy was done collecting the fruits she ordered her sheep army to take her to the next location.

Sekke and Secre asked Charmy about the place they were heading to, and after knowing that it was going to take a while the two decided to take a nap on top of the fluffy sheep.

Seeing that Charmy chided the two for not being enthusiastic about the food, to which Sekke and Secre just snorted and went back to sleep.

"Just wake me up when we reach the place, or when you think we are in a danger," said Sekke as he drifted back to his sleep.

---------------

And just like that Sekke and Charmy continued their adventure with Charmy showing Sekke some hunting tips that even the hunter whom he used to accompany before didn't know about.

Sekke who had been hunting since he was a kid had a newfound respect for Charmy and asked Charmy to teach him more of her methods.

Charmy being Charmy immediately decided to do so as she heard Sekke praise her.

And just like that their hunt was over.

-------------------

Later that day, Charmy and Sekke finally came back to the black bulls' HQ, only to see some of the members not being there.

The people present in the HQ we're Yami, Finral, Gordon, Grey, Vanessa, and Ainz.

"Oh, my dear friends I am glad that you are back. Now let's sit together and listen to the adventures that you had," said Gordon in a soft voice.

"Gordon-san, let's do that later. I am going to take a bath and then head to bed straight," said Sekke as went to the bathroom.

--------------------

Later that night, Sekke who was tired from hunting was sleeping when suddenly he heard a loud bang making both him and Secre jump up in surprise.

"Oi, dumbass wake up!!!"

Turning towards the source of the voice Sekke found Yami standing there along with Finral who was being dragged by Yami.

"What happened Yami-san?"

"Some guy just dropped here and said that they needed back or something. The others are totally wasted. So get your ass up and come downstairs." said Yami as he turned back and went down while dragging Finral along with him.

Sekke rubbed his eyes for a while but soon got up and put on his uniform.

"What the hell is wrong with people? What kind of situation it might be that they need backup?" muttered Sekke as he went down.

"Hurry up dumbass," said Yami as he lit his cigarette.

"Hmm, where are Asta and Noelle? Are they still not back?" asked Sekke as he looked around the room.

"They are the ones who need the backup," said Yami as he puffed up a smoke.

Sekke blinked his eyes at the sudden information and just stared blankly at Yami and Finral.

'...Patolli...' thought Sekke and then looked towards the bird sitting on his shoulder.

"Secre wait for me here. It might be dangerous," said Sekke as he looked towards Secre seriously.

Secre looked at her partner's face and was about to peck him, but seeing the serious look that Sekke was giving her Secre nodded and then rubbed her head against his cheek.

'Be careful out there.' thought Secre as she flew off his shoulder.

Sekke then stood beside Yami and Finral and gave a nod, gesturing that he was ready to go.

"Alright then. Oi, open a portal to their location," said Yami as he looked at Finral.

"Y-Yes!!" shouted Finral as he opened a portal.

But as soon as the portal opened, both Sekke and Yami felt the amount of mana coming from the other side of the portal and took out their swords.

The duo then jumped through the portal and immediately noticed the speeding projectile, that was launched in their direction.

Sekke was about to deflect the projectile with his sword but Yami beat him to it and slashed it with his katana.

The two then landed on the ground and Sekke's eyes immediately landed on the blonde man with a white robe.

'...A magic power comparable to mine...' thought Sekke as the blond man gave a small smile on seeing the new opponents appearing out of the portal.

"Captain Yami! Sekke! What are you two doing here?" asked Asta

"Why am I here? Well, obviously...I'm a little lost. Give me some directions damn it." said Yami as he blew puffed out some smoke out of his mouth.

"I was kidnapped by the tank top wearing suspicious man," said Sekke as he pointed at Yami.

"Huh? What the hell did you say, you bastard!" said Yami in a threatening tone as he glared at Sekke.

"Captain, you were lost?! And you kidnapped Sekke?!" yelled Asta.

Hearing the annoyingly loud noise both Sekke and Yami looked at Asta as Yami grabbed Asta's head and started crushing it.

"Of course not, you moron. I was joking, dumbass," said Yami.

"I was being serious though," muttered Sekke as he looked away when he noticed Yami glare at him.
