The Next Morning
Julius was done! He stared at the young girl in front of him, this was the seventh child to come through his office in the last week! He was tired of having to call someone to come get their child, well future child anyway, but as he stared at the young girl who had a bright smile on her face, he could feel his anger slowly dissipate. She was bright, happy, and very energetic. He couldn't help but smile, she reminded him a lot of someone from the Black Bulls.
" Marx." Julius turned to look at the blue haired young man, who suddenly slumped down.
" Do I have too sir?" He asked in a pleading tone, he had so far had to contact Yami, Charlotte, William, and Nozel over the last week and tell them to bring their squad members. He actually had to contact Yami multiple times! He was dreading it, especially since this would be the third time he called him.
" I'm sorry Marx, but yes you do." Julius said in a compassionate tone, he knew how Yami would react and poor Marx would unintentionally be on the receiving end of it. Marx let out a soft sigh before going into his office and contacting Yami, again.

Yami was oozing irritation and annoyance at this point, this was the third time he was being summoned here and he knew that meant it was another kid from the future! He didn't blame the children for this, but he would for sure blame their parents! It seemed like they were no closer to figuring out where these kids were coming from or why they were being sent here, he did wonder how many more kids would be coming here or if this would be the end of them? He silently hoped so, he couldn't take being called up here to pick up another kid, he just couldn't, he was close to ripping his hair out with all of them!
" Listen up you two," Yami ordered as they came to stand in front of the office doors, suddenly turning to look at both Noelle and Asta, the two had been confused when Yami first told them that they were going to see the Wizard King. But when he told them that there was someone that they would be meeting, Asta became very excited, Noelle on the other hand, seemed to find it suspicious. " this is going to be a huge shock to, not only you two, but to the person on the other side of this door. So behave yourselves and try not to freak out too much alright?" He asked, he watched the two salute before walking inside.
Asta was curious to see who he and Noelle were supposed to meet, he thought he had met everyone that was high up in the Kingdom by now, unless it was a Royal from another country? Either way Asta was very excited to meet them, Noelle on the other hand wasn't. She had met many nobles and royals before so she doubted this person would really impress her. She had to admit though, she was curious as to why they wanted to see her and Asta.
When the two teens walked in they were a little surprised to see a young light blonde haired girl, whose hair was in pigtails and tied with purple ribbons similar to Noelle's. She seemed to be short for her age, but the way she carried herself showed that she didn't really care. The minute she laid her pink-purple eyes on them her smile widened and shone as brightly as the sun during the afternoon hours.
" Mom! Dad!" She shouted before running up to Asta and Noelle gleefully and wrapping the two in her arms. Both teens were shocked, the looks on their faces would be humors in any other circumstance. Yami let out a small chuckle.
" I told you that you'd be in for a big shock." He said before walking over to Julius, leaving the two teens stunned. " Is this the last kid or are we expecting more?" He asked.
" As far as I know this is the last one, or at least that's my hope." Julius sighed, although there was a hint of sadness to his tone, he really enjoyed seeing all of the children, it gave him hope for a better and brighter future. But he was sad as well for many reasons, a part of him hoped that maybe a future child of his would come from the future like the others, but that didn't seem to be the case thus far.
" Where did you find this one?" Yami asked as he turned and saw the young girl clinging to her 'parents', well, future parents.
" Actually, she found us just like Aloys did but in a less violent manner. She needed help looking for her sisters, like Aloys and Maelie they were all separated. So she came here for help, but I don't think she was quite expecting to see me here." He laughed and scratched the back of his head nervously before turning to look at the scene in front of him.
" H-Hey! Let go!" Noelle grumbled, trying to pry the young girl's arms off. The shock had seemed to finally wear off on her, but not she was just really confused. She has a child with Asta?! Of all people?! That wasn't possible, there was no way! She didn't like him that way at all, so there was no way this could be their kid! Noelle finally pried the girl's arms away and stepped back, a flash of hurt spread across the girls face and it made Noelle instantly regret her decision.
" E-Explain! Right now!" Noelle shouted, her face tinged in slight pink from a mixture of shame and embarrassment, the girl kept her arms wrapped around Asta, she looked up at him with wide innocent eyes before looking at Julius who only nodded and silently urged the girl to speak.
" My name's Brielle Silva, I'm the daughter of Asta and Noelle Silva! I came here to look for you two because I need your help." She announced determinedly, she held her head up high but still kept that same bright smile on her face. There was no doubt she was Asta's daughter, she was just like him; happy, determined, confident, and just a good kid. Even though they only knew the girl for maybe 5-10 minutes they could easily tell that.
Asta stared down at the girl in bewilderment, a kid with Noelle? Huh, he wasn't expecting that at all. He suddenly looked over at the silver haired girl thoughtfully, he would always admit that she was beautiful, strong, caring, and one of his best friends. The more he thought about it the more it made sense and the happier he got, if he ever did have a child with someone there wasn't anyone else in the world he'd rather have them with.
" It's nice to meet you Brielle! I'm Asta, your papa, although I think you already knew that." He laughed nervously, Brielle laughed as well and nodded. Her laugh sounded like a mixture of his and Noelle's, it was absolutely adorable!
" And that," Asta suddenly pointed at Noelle. " is your momma Noelle, but you probably already knew that too!" He laughed nervously again, Noelle's face turned red again. ' momma? Papa? How is it he just found out he has a kid in the future and he's still his usual self about it?!' Noelle thought in bewilderment, he acted as though this didn't phase him one bit.
The more she watched Asta and Brielle's exchange, the more she noticed how it warmed her heart. Sure she wasn't exactly happy finding out that she had a kid. But at the moment she didn't have much of a choice since they couldn't send her back to her own time. She watched the two and saw how happy and comfortable they both already were around each other, even though they had just met, it made her smile slightly. He would be an amazing dad someday, she felt herself slightly hope maybe one day, she'd be just as excellent a mom.
" Asta, Noelle, Captain Yami, and Mr. wizard king? Would you all help me find my friends and sisters, please?" Brielle suddenly asked, bowing deeply at the four people in front of her. They all looked at each other for a moment before nodding. Noelle gave the young girl her signature smirk before tossing one of her pig tails over her shoulder confidently.
" Well of course we'll help, we're magic knights after all and it's what we do!" Noelle said proudly before crouching down to Brielle's level. " Don't worry, we'll find all your friends and sisters. Trust us, ok?" Noelle asked softly, she watched the girls eyes widen slightly, she already trusted Noelle completely and she could see that as clear as day. She suddenly leapt forward and wrapped her arms around Noelle's neck and hugged her.
" Thank you!" Brielle said happily, Noelle's eyes widened in surprise at the action and she looked at Asta for some help but all he did was stand slightly behind Brielle and give Noelle one of his signature smiles and a thumbs up, causing her to blush and look away. Of course he was no help, and of course he instantly accepted that this girl was his child without question. But if Noelle were being perfectly honest, there was no doubt that this was his daughter, she acted too much like him.
Asta watched the exchange with a bright smile on his face, sure he was confused about how this girl was his and Noelle's daughter, but he could push that aside for now. Especially since she needed their help finding her sisters and her friends!
