AN: Hey all, I wish I could say this was the next chapter but I haven't finished it yet. So instead this is both an apology for how long its taking me to get the chapter out, and an explanation as to why and what I have planned coming up.

So first off, I am sorry for how long it is taking me to post the next chapter, and I'm grateful for all the reviews that I have gotten, which I'll respond to atleast one here, but like I was saying I'm grateful for all of the reviews, and for those of you who are sticking with me.

That being said it has been a rough two months for me, My girlfriend broke up with me, and then I've had family moving in with me, which has just been oodles of fun all around. But it has kinda been a hinder to writing.

Next up I figure this story has a few more chapters to it, it will probably go until the fight with Zagratis(sp?) I'll double check that name in a little, but I'll probably wrap this one up at that point and then I'll get to work on a sequel, which will focus more on atleast Asta and Yuno venturing into the DxD world, as well as some of the other magic knights. But will mostly center on Asta and Yuno's adventures, and will take place in between the end of the elves and the heart kingdom arc in black clover.

That being said, I am also working on a second story that will be a Black Clover X Harry Potter xover, been poking my brain for a little so I'm gonna get that one going here eventually.

Now to the Review's, first mizunojohnmari, I appreciate the idea and I may use it in a later story but I doubt I will give them familiars in this one purely because I can't currently see a good way to use them in the story with the fact that they are getting ready to go into battle, and so trying to include young familiars wouldn't work in my mind. But I like the familiar's idea and may very well use it in the future. Also grammar was more then fine for me I thank you for taking the time to use google translate to send it to me. Hopefully you continue to enjoy me upcoming chapters.

To Dragongod926 I know that it may seem that Issei gave up his arm for no reason and by having Asta take his place kicking the hell out of Riser it may seem difficult to see how the girls will come to respect him, but I have a plan for that. It will just take a little time to get there.

Finally to Ghostofbrasil, to Issei's arm I do have a plan, and I do have some thoughts for interactions between him and Asta, they probably won't get much time interacting until the sequel but I do have idea's for how I want them to interact.

In regards to Asta's harem, currently I have it topped at Rias, Akeno, Noelle, Mimosa, and Rebecca. That being said, I'm not a great romance writer, and honestly I think Asta's gonna remain an idiot for awhile, pretty sure the girls are gonna have to make the first move. That said I'm not entirely against including others, but those are the only ones I'm currently planning. That being said as I'm sure its clear so far, Rias and Akeno are the only two who have been trying to show their feelings.

For Issei I'm thinking Asia, Irina, and honestly I'm kinda leaning towards Sally, just cause I think that could be funny as hell.

Yuno is currently just Koneko, and as for Leo…. that's a secret.

I believe that was everything I wanted to say. Again thank you all for sticking with me and hopefully I should be able to get the next chapter out within the next two weeks. With the follow chapter shortly after it.

Thanks all this has been Asta Nuhn.
