Remedy
Yuno’s mind was in chaos. Not only he mourned for his fallen comrades, after he also just acquired some flashback within him that showed about his infant memories alongside the accident of the rampaging Dark Triad back in Spade Kingdom, he suffered mental breakdown caused by his total loss to Zenon of Dark Triad which almost cost his life. And the one who saved him, his Captain now was still in enemies’ grip. He felt completely torn.
He hated to be overpowered by enemies.
He hated to be weakling.
His injuries were slowly fading because of his Captain’s top healing magic, but it still felt incredibly hurt. He couldn’t save him alone by himself only.
In the magic knight squad captains’ meeting, he kept quiet with a deep look despite another captain mocking him. He didn’t care enough about it. That captain called Jack’s words were not wrong, though.
And then he saw his foster brother and only rival, Asta was carried by an unknown man to him. A bit relieved he was able to see Asta again, but the change of his right-side arm brought his concern up. He followed the flow of the meeting ‘till it ended before he had a chance to speak to Asta directly.
“Asta,” Yuno called the shorter boy with an unpleasant look. The one he called tilted his face right to meet his sour face.
“Yuno. Uh, you look… not okay...”
Yuno looked down, receiving the response. He hesitated to talk more, but the vice captain of Black Bulls who got Asta along noticed him and decided to speak out.
“Are you by any chance want to talk to Asta? It’s okay! You should tell me, I’ll permit you two having some time,”
“Mr. Nacht,”
“Go on, Asta. Seems like he needs you.” Nacht winked at Asta before he left them both. Asta was suddenly nervous in place. Then he looked back at Yuno. He definitely needed help.
“Yuno, I’m so sorry for your captain. Mine also got captured because of my incompetence and lack of strength. But!! I’m sure we can save them back!! Together, we can do it, Yuno!!! Please don’t lose hope already, all right?” Asta tried his best to not look down for the sake of Yuno.
“...Because I know your feel, I feel the same way,”
Right after Asta threw his encouraging words, a pair of arms brought him into an embrace. His watery green eyes glimpsed. Yuno didn’t let out any words but his action was enough to make Asta understand. He just wanted someone to lean on at this very moment.
“Thank you, Asta. I’m better now. This is not over yet. I’ll get stronger to be a Wizard King soon.”
“Hey! I’m the one who will be the Wizard King!”
Asta’s grin successfully transformed Yuno’s worries into courage. He was not scared anymore. He can walk further again because as long as he is still alive, he has the chance to power up.
