Yami isn't big on introspection or brooding. Trapped in a spatial magic bubble while his squad fights for their lives against Eye of the Midnight Sun, there's not much else he can do. But sometimes clarity is what you need to surpass your limits.

Summary
You'd think, with all the yul in the recovery magic research budget, that people wouldn't get colds anymore. But apparently there are some things magic can't fix. Especially when certain people get their kicks by hanging out at ridiculous altitudes.
Finral's sick. Yami's no recovery mage, but he has a few tricks up his sleeve.
(Set about a year before Asta joins the Bulls and a week after the events of Grip Strength.)

02 Mar 2021

Summary
The Bulls are all set to enjoy a beach vacation at Raque, but Yami seems distracted. Finral's not sure why, but that doesn't mean he can't try to get Yami in a better mood.
It's not Finral's fault that the easiest way to do that is getting a little creative revenge. It's their game, after all.
(Set during the beach episode.)

It's the ball to celebrate Rill Boismortier's promotion, and Yami has a list of rules for the evening, straight from Julius: No fighting. No destruction of property. No cursing when he gives his toast. Don't get drunk. Minimum three dances.

Summary

Summary
There's a deadline. A stupid deadline, but nowhere in a Magic Knight's oath of duty does it stipulate that they will only face smart enemies. Or strong ones.
Luckily, for Finral, the laws of physics exist to be thwarted and gravity is a mild inconvenience, at best. By contrast, Yami's not so sure about this.
(Set about a year before Asta but after the Bulls moved in with Henry.)

22 Aug 2019
Tags
Summary
Ladies like dogs. Of course, they have to be cute dogs. But if Vanessa thinks that Oni is cute, presumably someone else will too. And he's much better behaved than the rest of the mutts.
The problem, Finral discovers, is that the dog has to like the ladies for this to work. Meanwhile, the dogs ship it, Vanessa ships it, and Gauche can't unsee it.
(Set after the cave arc, but before the captain's meeting; around the same time as Dining and Dancing.)
