Chapter 6 part 1. Language Of Flowers
'Delivery?'
'yes, these villages still need supplies and the load is to heavy for any normal person to handle so that's where we come in, just get it done and be back by tonight' Yami tells the two.
Currently they are flying to the capital.
'woah, this list is long, we will be traveling around all day' Luck says flying his broom.
'Really that is awesome, we will be getting a lot of fresh air' Asta says while they approach HQ.
They land by the entrance and heads to the door of the building.
'fine see you around' a grumpy voice says walking out of HQ. 'uh, wait I have seen that guy before' Asta utter watching the guy with grey messy hair with purple lines in it walk away with displeasure to his being as he puts his hands in his pockets of his black pants. His light blue hoodie is slightly covered in dirt.
'Oh, Asta what a pleasant surprise'
'huh, oh Selina from the blue Rose Knights and uh Sol' he waves at the girls as they come up. 'wow so I guess a man can remember stuff' she scuffs.
'Sol and I are about to give our reports and deliver these letters from our squad leader Charlotte. Are you here to give a rapport to?' Selena asks adjusting her brown hair.
'Nope, we are here to get the supplies for a few Villages today, seems there are still a lot of work to do' Asta replies.
'you can say that again. We haven't had a break in ages' Selena says and looks at the three standing there.
'let us get inside already' Sol impatiently states.
'right, Asta replies and they head on inside.
'say Selena what are the Roses for?' he asks gesturing the bouquet of white and blue Roses in her hand.
'oh I bought these for, Mfh'. 'It is suppose to be a secret surprise' Sol utter covering the girls mouth and her purple eyes blinks a few times as she realizes. 'I forgot, but it was only supposed to be a secret from her right?' Selena asks.
'you think these men could keep their mouth shut? Cause I doubt' Sol state and crosses her arms.
'but they won't even be meeting mfh' , 'I said no' Sol pushes.
Asta, Luck and Liebe share a look of confusion as the girls smile awkwardly.
'say Asta who is she, is she a new member, of the black bulls? Selena asks changing the subject to escape sols wrath.
'well, she is a new addition to the group but I don't think she is a black bull, she is more like a new friend' Asta explains. And Selene leans forward to meet Millie at her eye level.
'but she will be working with you wich means she is a helping hand to the magic knights so' Selena says and plucks a rose out.
'welcome to the team, I am Selena and this here is Sol' she says and extends a white Rose to Millie, who takes a step back and gives a deep bow 'My name is Millie Millenty Ma'am it is a pleasure to meet you Selena and Sol' she says and Selena blushes a little. (she is too graceful).
'here take it, it is a welcome gift, the Blue Rose knights always appreciates gutsy girls, which you must be if you are hanging around Asta' Selena says with a friendly smile to Millie who looks to Asta, who holds no objections on his face, so she looks back at Selena and she accepts. 'thank you Miss' she replies.
'aw, you are cute despite your being so plaine' she says and puts the white Rose into Millies hair.
'thank you, miss' she replies.
Asta and the rest share pleasantries and Luck and Asta gets the supplies and the group heads out.
'these loads are quite heavy' Luck utter. 'nah this is nothing' Asta says and Millie looks back at the monstrosity he is carrying.
(how much weight can one guy even carry) she thinks to herself looking at the load she is carrying.
They travel around and deliver materials and they land in a decent sized village and Asta chats with the ones in charge to receive the materials and they go over everything with the Village chief.
Millies eyes survey the village where the market is filled with hustle and bustle, as everyone has something to work on.
'you look like you may be interested little one' she hears an elderly voice say and she walks over to a stand where the lady is selling a bunch of different flowers.
'what has you asking Ma'am?'
The lady points to her head and Millie remembers the rose in her hair. 'oh' she utter and looks at the abundance of white roses.
'oh you like white roses? You are in luck, normally I can't manage to grow much of them but during this summer all of the White Roses I've planted grew and about 3 weeks ago they sprung into full bloom. Almost like it had to happen when it happened somehow' the lady elaborates.
'truly? Eh, Ma'am' she asks surprised and confused.
'yes truly' she replies.
(when I think about it the first day I came here there were white roses next to that bench close to that research center near Toko village. But there is a farm near there almost dedicated to white Roses so I thought little of it...) Millie looks at the plants with wonder.
'Are the white ones your favorite?' the lady asks. 'they are, but more for what they represents' she softly elaborates.
'You must have a romantic side if you know the language of flowers' the lady says with a smile. And Millie slightly blushes 'I-I believe so' she utter and touches her broach.
Swosh
She hears and sees Asta heading out 'I must go Ma'am, it was a pleasure to meet you' she says as she respectfully bows and she brings out her wings and flies after the boys.
They travel to HQ an out to different Villages during a good portion of the day.
They head back to Head Quarters and gets a few bags 'okey next on the list is' Luck says with a bright smile as Asta leans over.
'Hage heck yeah! I get to say hi to everyone' he says with increasing excitement.
'Hage?, where the demon bones are, Master?' Millie asks.
'yepp, oh, that's right I guess I haven't told you much about It huh' he says with a bright smile.
'I grew up there with the rest of the church orphans, they are a bunch of rascals' he adds as they are heading out.
During their travel he talks about the village he grew up in, and the rest of the kids.
They land by the town center and chat with the town chief as they hand over the supplies.
right and now to meet with the gang he says with enticement and runs off leaving Millie and luck behind.
'haha he is really exited' luck laughes and runs after the swordsman.
'Recca! Recca!'
'huh what is the yelling about?' Luck wonders out loud. 'Uuuh?' he sees Asta run ahead then a second later.
'Sister Lilly! Please marry me!' he hears Astas loudly yell.
'water creation magic holy fist of Love!' Lilliy scream as water forms into a huge fist with a golden cross within punching Asta to the ground.
'Ahh, hehe, it has been far too long since I felt this' he says with a slight laugh and looks up at the nun with a simple nun attire and her dark blue hair slightly showing underneath her nuns cap and a cross hanging around her neck.
'sorry Asta my magic just slipped out' she apologizes softly and she takes her grimoar and puts it back into her satchel.
'Asta? Asta is back' a little boy with blond hair and green sweater exclaims. 'hi Asta' a girl with black hair and purple dress loudly states.
'hi you two, what is up?' he asks getting up and they hug him before he stands up straight.
'we are looking for Recca , we haven't seen her all day' Lilly utter with clear concern.
'What seriously?' he says and looks at Liebe and back at the gang.
'Yes, Father Orsi and Nach is searching on the other far end of the village, and a bunch of villagers are helping to look for her as well' she elaborates 'it isn't like her to go missing like this'
'You are right, we will help look too' he says. 'but it is getting so late don't you have Magic knight duty to attend to' she asks. 'it will be fine right luck?' he asks. 'ofcorse we can look at the outskirts of town you can take the south west and I can cower the north east' he replies.
