It's day eight and the magic is still going.

Vanessa put the bottle up to her lips, not only to take a swig, but also to hide her smile as she watched Noelle fidget in nervousness. She a very good idea what the young royal wanted, but wanted to hear it straight from Noelle's mouth.

"Come on, Noelle! I can't help you if you don't tell me~" sang the pink-haired witch, enjoying this greatly.

The younger girl let out a groan. "D-Do I have to? Th-This is so embarrassing!"

"Suit yourself. I guess some other girl can win Asta's heart," stated Vanessa. She had to hold back a smirk when she noticed Noelle tense up. "Maybe that one redhead would be a good fit for him."

"No!" yelled out the water mage with a squeak.

Vanessa had a Cheshire grin as she watched Noelle blush up a storm when the younger girl realized she slipped up. She would have laughed, but she didn't want to make things worse for Noelle.

"So this was about Asta? What sort of advice can I give you then?" asked the witch. Her Cheshire grin returned. "Want to know how to get him into your bed?"

"V-Vanessa! S-Stop being so lewd!" exclaimed Noelle. If she became any redder she would have been mistaken for tomato.

"I'm just messing with you, Noelle," said Vanessa as she waved off Noelle. "In all seriousness though, if you want to get Asta's attention you need to be more forward."

"F-Forward?"

With an eye roll, Vanessa explained. "Even you had noticed that Asta is oblivious to any girl that isn't this Sister Lily that he keeps talking about. You need to go up to him, get it through that thick skull of his why he can't marry a nun, and show him that there is someone out there that loves him how only a woman can."

Watching Noelle fidget once more, the witch couldn't help the giggle that escaped her mouth. This earned her a glare from the silver-haired girl.

"Wh-What's so funny?!"

"I think it's so cute how much you're crushing on Asta, which is another reason why you need to tell him about your feelings. Everyone deserves happiness, Noelle, and you and Asta are perfect for each other. Hell, the fact that you're not a nun and can actually marry is a point in your favor."

Another blush came from Noelle as thoughts of Asta as her husband floated around in her mind. It wasn't an unwelcomed thought. With a look of determination, Noelle stood to go find the anti-magic boy.

"Thank you, Vanessa. You're advice was very helpful," said Noelle with a smile.

"If you really want to thank me, make me the godmother of the first brat you and Asta have."

"Eh?!"

Vanessa cackled as Noelle sputtered in embarrassment at the thought of having children. The witch just couldn't help it though. Like she said, Noelle's crush on Asta was just so cute. It reminded her of her own feelings for Yami.

She just hoped that Noelle had better luck than she did.

Black Clover has become one of my favorite Shonen Jump series. People say it's a copycat of Naruto, but I feel the people that say that haven't actually watched it.
