Here is the second part of my unexpected Charmy special OVA thing for y'all released as soon as it was ready after the first one. I have already said all I have to say for this two part special at the start of the first one so I won't repeat that here short of adding the usual warning that there are likely spoilers for the manga and anime though I have tried to be as vague as possible with them or outright avoided mentioning things. For those curious, this takes place only a few days after the last part and the system I mention in this part is mainly modeled after the British one but there are elements of the American in places, in case y'all are curious. That is all I have to say on this coming part, there is something more at the end regarding the potential future of this unexpected universe in my fanfiction so check that out if you want but I expect this to be the end of this particular fic. That is all I have for now which means that it is time to sit back and enjoy Noelle's latest conversation.

Disclaimer: I own nothing related to the Black Clover franchise.


Summary - It is the day of the festival in the Spade Kingdom and Asta, Noelle, Charmy and Nero are on their way to see Yuno there before the festival. It is time to catch up with him and to shock him to his core with the revelation that Asta and Noelle have for him, at the right moment of course. That's not all though. It is also time for Noelle and Charmy to execute their plan. Let's hope a little Wind Spirit doesn't get in her way as Charmy goes after her Prince of Provisions at last.


The Charmy Special Part II: Execution

"Ok as soon as I open the portal go through." Finral said seriously to Noelle, Asta, Charmy, and Nero though the last one was in her bird form atop Asta's head. "It's a long way to the Spade Kingdom Palace so I can only hold it for a moment before my magic fails."

"We know Finral, thanks for this." Asta said his eyes stars at his teammate's magic. "You're power has gotten so much better."

"Thanks, Vice-Captain." Finral said as he held out his hand. "Now, go."

The portal opened and quickly the trio plus Nero went through it before it closed a second later. As soon as it was gone Finral collapsed and pulled out a box of Charmy's special cupcakes made by her Top Chef so that he could recharge his mana almost instantly. There were war victory celebrations here as well and Yami would need him soon, so he had to make sure his mana was full for his Captain. The others would be fine now that they were in the Spade Kingdom.


A second after they entered the portal, they exited it in the special portal room set up in the Royal Palace in the Spade Kingdom. Yuno had set up this room to allow Spatial Mages access to the Palace in a safe, set location, while the rest was protected from this kind of magic by special guardian mages. However, as of right now, only two Spatial Mages, both with distinct styles, had these coordinates and the greyish circle portal indicated that it was Finral and not Valtos.

As soon as Asta, Noelle and Charmy exited they were greeted by a royal guard, one of the members of the resistance whose family had sworn loyalty to the House of Grinberryall and never renounced it after they fell to the Dark Triad, who silently took them straight to Yuno. The Palace had been badly damaged during the war but with a lot of hard work, Yuno himself doing a fair bit of it himself as he was not above his people when it came to manual labor, it had been rebuilt.

The one difference was that it wasn't as richly decorated or appointed as Noelle was used to seeing in a Royal Palace. Then again, this was Yuno, a man who cared little for fancy things and needless items as he put it thanks to his upbringing. Many of the artifacts that hadn't been destroyed had been sold to help pay for the repair of the Spade Kingdom in the wake of the war and Noelle doubted that it would change anytime soon.

Somehow, it felt better this way. While Noelle was used to the trappings of wealth, seeing a palace nearly devoid of it was kinda refreshing. It made Yuno more relatable to his people and while he might have to reign in his humility at some point as it could be too much and come off arrogant to some, it worked well for now. It was all part of what would make him a great and beloved king.

All this was noted as they walked through the Palace until they reached a small private audience room that Yuno had set up especially for them and where he was already waiting. The plan was simple, greet Yuno, get an update on the current situation in Spade, tell him about Noelle and Asta's relationship as soon as the moment presented itself, sort out the double date, and then go to the festival. Well, simple was the start but it would always be complicated. Of course, the fact that Asta was wearing his Heart Kingdom attire didn't help in that regard.

"Asta, I see you are flaunting your muscles in place of magic again." Yuno said greeting them as they entered the simple room that had a few couches, a fireplace, a bookshelf, and a desk in a corner, but the new Spade King was standing in the middle alone as he waited for them. "Guess you have to compensate for something."

"Bit rich coming from you." Asta said with a grin as they entered and greeted his brother who had reverted to wearing his old Hage clothes with his Golden Dawn robe though he'd added his House crest to it on the other side though Yuno refused to wear a crown though he had a special circlet for formal occasions. "Mr. Spade King."

"Just because I beat you to a title akin to Wizard King doesn't mean you have to overcompensate by becoming a walking brick outhouse." Yuno retorted grinning back at Asta and annoying Bell who floated by his shoulder at the smile he seemed to only give Asta while Charmy was already blushing at the sight of it, both girls loved Yuno's true smile. "You have some catching up to do as always. I expect you to be the Wizard King now that I can't be."

"You know it." Asta said getting in Yuno's face in a way that had Noelle squeaking at the improper way to conduct oneself around a King, not that her and Asta were the most proper people when together and she too was royalty, but their situation was different. "You've gone and set the bar high this time but that only makes it much sweeter when I clear it and surpass you again. I'll be the best Wizard King the Clover Kingdom has ever seen."

"Right, I'll just have to keep raising the bar then." Yuno retorted. "Good thing you're so short that you won't reach it when I'm done placing it above your head."

"I have grown." Asta yelled getting on his toes. "Both up and in bulk."

"Sure, the bulk part at least is true." Yuno said before both burst out laughing their usual greeting over. "Good to see you again Asta, it's been too long."

"Well, a lot has happened, and you do have a country to run now but yes it's good to see you again Yuno." Asta said shaking his head. "Who would have thought back in the day that you would turn out to actually be the lost Spade Prince and I'd end up the youngest Vice-Captain in history."

"Second youngest." Yuno corrected. "I was Vice-Captain before you."

"Meh, we now have a birthdate for you that's officially before mine, so I'll claim the youngest honor." Asta said ignoring the 6 months or so between them reaching the same rank in their respective squads. "Still, it's been a lot of work, but I can't complain."

"Neither can I." Yuno said. "We're making two countries better now."

"Three." Asta corrected him with a grin. "I'm helping two countries now."

"Three?" Yuno asked confused.

"Part of my duties have been to help Mars in the Diamond Kingdom as he reforms it into a peaceful nation." Asta said. "After the war and that Kingdom was restored, Mars took over in their new council of elder's system they're trying and is reforming it into a better country with the help of Fanzell, Ladros, Fana, and a few others who hated the old ways there. As Mars's good friend, I have been helping him make it better whenever he needs me."

"Mars, that was the Mineral Mage we met in the dungeon, right?" Yuno asked surprised. "He seemed pretty bad when we fought him. I recall he kept babbling on about how only the strong can be on the battlefield."

"Yeah but I reformed him thanks to beating some sense into him." Asta said with a wide smile. "Then we met again at the Forest of Witches during that accidental incident we stumbled into when we tried to heal my arms, and I learned how he really felt. We became friends and allies during the part where we teamed up to free Fana from the elf possession she was dealing with. He left to launch a coup in the Diamond Kingdom and then lead the resistance there until the end of the war after the Dark Triad conquered it, but I've been helping him as best I can."

"Only you could manage that." Yuno said with a smile and a shake of his head. "It's so you to do something like that Asta."

"Yuno." Bell wailed next to him finally fed up with the attention Yuno was giving this loudmouth meathead when he should be giving it to her. "Stop indulging this shrimp and notice me. You never talk this much to me."

"I'm reconnecting with Asta, Bell." Yuno said simply with a slight glance at her annoyed pout and not smile. "It's been too long so I am going to enjoy this. Asta, I see you brought some of your teammates."

"Yeah I figured a few of us here would serve as good ambassadors for the Black Bulls." Asta said using the line Noelle had taught him for this. "You remember…"

"Noelle Silva, yes I recall you." Yuno said with a slight bow of the head to Noelle that she returned at a slightly lower angle to signify his seniority to her. "We were on the same team for the Royal Knight Selection Exam, I know her."

"King Yuno, it is an honor to be here." Noelle said in her best formal tone. "Thank you for allowing us into your humble home."

"That's a change, usually its peasant this, insect that, I'm royalty, yada yada." Yuno said with a chuckle. "Amazing what birth does to someone when the status of it changes. Please don't bother, I am not one to stand on ceremony here. We are changing things for the better in the Spade Kingdom so soon title will not mean as much as it does in Clover which I believe will be for the better."

"Right sorry." Noelle said trying to get back to usual but the years of training to deal with a royal was still there even if her friendship with Loropechika had helped her relax a bit, plus this was still Yuno, Asta's friend from childhood, his brother, she could manage to be normal with him. "I'll keep that in mind."

"Hello Yuno." Charmy said bashfully as she inched near him. "I don't know…"

"Charmy, right." Yuno said causing her to gush at saying her name. "I remember you; your food restored my mana in the battle before the Shadow Palace, as well as many others and was key in our ability to hold off the elves. I have to say, that was some spell. Then I heard you defeated one of the Apostles of Sephira by yourself in the Shadow Palace, not bad."

"Ah." Charmy said as she collapsed from Yuno's praise piercing her heard much to his confusion but instantly Bell was flying down and into her face. "My king remembers me, I'm so happy."

"That means nothing you thieving raccoon." Bell yelled at Charmy as she sprinkled her with scales. "Yuno is mine got that and I am going to cover you in scales for that you five head hussy."

"My sweet king remembered me and my amazingness." Charmy said now completely lost in her love as she batted Bell away from her. "He is so perfect."

"Right, anyway, you said you were changing the nation." Noelle said deciding to let those two fight for a moment, Charmy clearly needed a moment to recover from her love hit and glad she'd never been that bad around Asta. "What did you mean by that?"

"Ah yes well we will be making the official announcement of the transition at the end of the festival, but you can know now I guess." Yuno said to them ignoring the strange war that existed between the Wind Spirit and the Black Bull girl on the floor, he never understood why they hated each other but for some reason he couldn't stop them constantly fighting whenever they met. "We are changing the system to give the common citizenry more say and reduce the power and influence of the nobles that has led to them getting corrupt and abusing it as seen by the treason of the Zogratis siblings."

"That sounds like a big challenge." Asta said. "How are you going to do it?"

"We've decided to split the kingdom up into 101 districts based on population so that each district has roughly the same number of people in it, so they are all different sizes." Yuno explained. "Each district will then select one person who lives there to serve as their representative to the King. They will be selected by a voting system were all Spade citizens over the age of 18 will get a vote and it is one person one vote, so no one's vote counts more than another, not mine, not a nobles, and not the poorest citizen."

"That is strange." Noelle admitted as Asta's brain began to hurt as he tried to understand the concept and Nero flew off and onto Noelle's head in preparation for the inevitable explosion when Asta's brain reached its limit of understanding. "I don't think it's ever been done before, or at the very least not on a national scale. What will these 101 representatives as you call them do?"

"They will form what we are calling the House of Commons as it will be mostly comprised of commoners." Yuno said. "A body similar to the Magic Parliament only this one won't be about judgement, nor will it be controlled by nobles who hate commoners or have vested interests. No, these people will meet, debate, and make laws for the Spade Kingdom."

"What!" Noelle exclaimed as Asta's brain reached its limit and he spaced out unable to understand anymore. "You won't rule by decree?"

"I still retain that power and have been doing so since taking the throne, though I am still not comfortable with it." Yuno said. "And all laws made by what will be called the Spade Parliament have to receive my royal approval so I can deny them as a check on their power. In addition, we will have a separate, rigid, court system to appeal up to me about current or new laws but that is a secondary plan at the moment as first we need the legislative body."

"Huh, that is pretty novel." Noelle said thinking on it before she remembered the nobles and how they would react to something like this. "But what about the nobles? They won't like it."

"No, they won't which is why I have struck a compromise with them to get them on my side." Yuno said with a sigh. "In exchange for their support, we are creating a second chamber, a House of Lords as it will be called, were the Head of every noble House will have a seat that is hereditary, though I can appoint as many non-hereditary members to it for life as well should I chose or elevate a commoner to the nobility."

"That is a compromise for sure." Noelle said. "But what will they do? You want to give the commoners more power but with this the nobility still has a lot of power."

"Not as much as you would think as the role of the Lords will be simple." Yuno said shaking his head. "They can review and reject laws from the Commons, though they can't change them and if 67 members of the Commons support the law it bypasses the Lords and be sent straight to me. In addition, they can advise me though I don't have to listen to them, and they don't the power to make law like the Commons does. That should assuage their egos somewhat by giving them something the Commons doesn't have."

"Yes that may work." Noelle said thinking on it. "It is pretty clever in fact."

"I don't understand it at all." Asta said his brain hurting as he rubbed his head. "You lost me a while back."

"No, you wouldn't Dorksta but it's ok." Noelle said with a smile at her boyfriend. "So when will it go into effect?"

"I hope to hold the first elections within a year but that is optimistic, and we are planning for at least two more years of preparations just in case." Yuno said. "There are a lot of kinks to work out and we need to ensure a fair system for the voting. Currently, I am thinking of asking Loropechika for help there to use Heart Kingdom officials as neutral, independent arbitrators for when the first vote happens."

"That would be smart." Noelle said. "She will help if it is for the betterment of all your citizens and you know she will have no agenda given how isolationist the Heart Kingdom usually is."

"It is why I am thinking of reaching out to her about this." Yuno said. "In addition, the representatives would serve for 5 years before a new election is held so that they can be held accountable to their districts though the Commons can choose to hold earlier elections if they desire. As I said, we are still working out how it will work and drafting a formal document to detail all of the Spade Parliament's, mine, and an independent judiciary's powers so that all can see it."

"It's certainly complicated and beyond Asta's head." Noelle said as Asta groaned trying to follow it and clearly failing. "But brilliant if it can be pulled off. It will take a lot of time to get used to though."

"Of course, it's brilliant, my Yuno thought of it." Bell said giving up with a still love struck Charmy and flying up to get in Noelle's face remembering that this girl was also a threat to her Yuno. "And don't you forget that he's mine miss royal so back off. I will not let him be taken by some Clover royal snob who is impressed by his brilliance."

"I don't want him and never have." Noelle said dismissively flicking a ponytail and looking away from Bell while putting on her best royal air. "Now stop bothering me, you are beneath me insect."

"I am the Wind Spirit!" Bell roared, well loudly squeaked, into Noelle's face. "I am above all royalty, but Yuno and I will not be disrespected by the likes of an arrogant girl like you!"

"Some spirit, you're smaller than Asta." Noelle said in her best imperious tone. "Plus, you have nothing on Undine, she's a great spirit unlike you."

"I am better than that Water Spirit." Bell said her fists clenched and starting to get really pissed. "And you know it. Not that you would ever be worthy of a Spirit, or someone like Yuno."

"Please, when her contract with Loropechika was weakened, Undine bonded with me for the rest of the war and said I have the capability to house a Spirit." Noelle said with a slight smirk at the squeak from Bell at the fact the Noelle had briefly been able to use Water Spirit Magic. "Yes, I am that good and I am worthy of someone much greater than Yuno and I know it."

"Well just because Undine has no taste in humans it seems and chose you out of convenience doesn't mean you can have my Yuno." Bell yelled at Noelle as Yuno just sighed at her antics. "I will protect him from all pretty women. I am the only woman for him."

"I don't care for Yuno that way." Noelle said. "My heart belongs to another, and he knows it. Besides, he's superior to Yuno in every way shape and form."

"Please, I can see it in you and all women whenever they are near Yuno." Bell said as Yuno began to get really confused while Asta recovered from his failed comprehension of Yuno's new political system for the Spade Kingdom. "Yuno is mine and his smile is reserved for me only. Not you, not that little racoon, not the musclebound shrimp, me and only me."

"Guess we're doing it this way." Noelle said with a smirk as she wanted to do it this way but out of respect she had been willing to just tell Yuno, but Bell had forced her hand. "Asta, come here."

"Huh?" Asta asked confused at Noelle's order, he hadn't been paying attention to Noelle's argument with Bell, as Yuno just shrugged at him just as confused while Bell glared and Charmy finally began to recover though no one noticed her. "What's up, I'm still trying to figure out this strange system Yuno's creating. Has something happened?"

"I'll explain it later so that you can understand it." Noelle said grabbing the cord of Asta's robe. "First I need to do this to shut up that annoying insect who's squeaking at me. Sorry, I know we didn't plan to do it like this, but this is the best way."

With that Noelle brought a still confused but cute looking Asta to her and kissed him full on the lips. Even after many kisses, she still felt the spark and thill of her love for Asta the moment her lips met his and she knew that that feeling would never get old to her.

Asta was naturally a little surprise, but he went with it as he wasn't going to complain when his girlfriend wanted to kiss him, and he wasn't one for propriety, so the public nature didn't bother him. He almost instantly pulled her closer as he put his arms around her waist while her arms went to around his neck, and they deepened the kiss.

Noelle heard a high-pitched screech near her and smiled into the kiss knowing that she's shocked the Wind Spirit Sylph into silence, well that and she was kissing Asta so of course she'd smile into it. As much as her royal training was kicking in to tell her to be proper in the presence of a superior royal, she ignored it as she poured her love into her kiss. Screw formalities, Yuno didn't care for them anyway, so she was going to have fun with Asta while showing off how much she loved him.

Before she could stop herself, her tongue flicked out and brushed Asta's lips begging for entry, they'd reached this stage of kissing after Asta had been to Hage to see Sister Lily and they officially labeled their relationship, but it was as far as either was comfortable with at the moment. Still, Asta almost instantly let Noelle's tongue into his mouth and began a war with it with his own tongue as they fought for dominance.

Noelle didn't care that she was currently standing before the Spade King, she was going to make out with her boyfriend as hard as she had ever made out with him. She was totally lost in the moment, as was Asta, as they kissed passionately in front of his childhood friend and brother. It was only the need for air that finally broke them apart, a slight trail of saliva connecting their lips as they parted, panting slight and staring into each other's eyes, lost to the world before the strand broke.

"God I love you so much Asta." Noelle said in a husky tone. "That was amazing. Best one yet I'd say, well other than the first but nothing beats the first."

"It was, wasn't it." Asta said smiling back, he was still not yet ready to tell Noelle that he loved her, but he was getting there as he was sure he did but wanted to be certain before he said it, and he knew she knew it and was giving him all the time that he could need for it. "I think we may have broken the Spade King and the Wind Spirit though. That may constitute an international incident."

"Probably." Noelle said with a grin. "Let's see shall we."

Noelle turned, linking her arm with Asta's and took his hand in hers, to look at the damage their kiss had caused. Bell was floating before them her eyes white, mouth agape, at the sight as she shook unable to process it. Behind her Yuno had a similar expression, for once unable to process a situation before him. He had no idea how to handle Asta kissing a girl in front of him, and not just any girl but Noelle Silva of all people. What the fuck was going on and if his ears weren't deceiving him, he didn't trust his eyes right now after that, he could have sworn he heard Noelle tell Asta that she loved him.

"Wow, I wish Rill was here to paint this reaction." Noelle said with a grin at the sight before them. "It's better than I could have hoped for."

"Let's just have Mushroom Head use his magic to replay this image and then have Rill paint it when we next see them, Rill won't mind, and Mushroom Head owes me a few favors, so he'll oblige." Asta suggested. "I want to send a copy to Hage so that all can see it. As well as one of what we just did for context."

"That's a great idea." Noelle said as Charmy used the distraction to get as close to Yuno as she could. "We'll have to get two though, I want some for House Silva, they'd look great there."

"Wha, what am I looking at." Bell said still not recovering from the sight before her. "Have I gone blind or something because I can't be seeing what I just saw."

"No, it's real, you are looking at me with the man who has my heart forever and always." Noelle said with a grin. "I never had any interest in Yuno, that was your extreme jealousy and insecurities talking, which I can respect as mine is just like that if not worse when it comes to women and my Asta. However, I have been in love with Asta for a long time, though a good portion of it I was in denial of my feelings for various reasons, so he's always been the man for me. I fell for him before I even met Yuno in that dungeon, that's how long ago I fell."

"Yeah, I was shocked as well when Noelle kissed me for the first time in the Heart Kingdom right before the war kicked off and even more so when she confessed as I didn't see either coming." Asta said sheepishly. "But we waited until after the war before acting on it. Noelle wanted a chance and I had been strongly encouraged to get over Sister Lily and, well, Noelle was the only one who could probably do that for me, so I gave her that chance. We've been dating pretty much since the end of the war and officially became boyfriend and girlfriend a few months ago."

"Asta." Noelle said blushing and smiling at his words, he'd never told her that she was the probably only one who could get him to move on and it touched her deeply, he really knew what to say at times even if he himself didn't realize how sweet he was being so she couldn't help herself. "I love you."

"I know and I am getting there." Asta said softly to her. "I am sorry it is taking time, but all this is new to me, and it does take a while to get over somethings as new ones replace them. Thank you for understanding."

"I can wait, I am more than happy right now." Noelle said kissing his cheek. "I love you and I know that I have 18 months on you when it comes to feelings, plus there was your Sister Lily thing and that will take time to fully move on from, so I can give you all the time in the world. I'm your girlfriend and that means a lot that we can use those labels. I will never give up on my love for you and we are going in the right direction which is really good."

"Ok please explain." Yuno said finally recovering and still unable to process what he was seeing in front of him as this was a side of the royal he couldn't comprehend, same with Asta for that matter. "I am completely lost. This is something I never expected to ever see. You two have been together for months? I didn't even know any girl liked Asta that way."

"Please, Asta is more of a lady killer than you." Noelle said dismissively proving that Asta was better even if she didn't like that she had rivals for him. "He had four girls fall hard for him, one girl crush that is kinda the inverse of his on Sister Lily, and one who's undecided."

"I am as shocked about that as you are Yuno." Asta admitted. "But yes there are girls who actually like me and not you like that. I'm sorry we didn't tell you until now, it was all still so new, and we were too busy with important things to mention it, so we waited until the right moment to tell you, and this was it. Noelle and I are a couple and going strong."

"I, I am a loss for words." Yuno admitted still trying to fathom what was going on in front of him. "I, Asta, what happened with your dream of marrying Sister Lily? It was always impossible, but it was always second only to your dream of being the Wizard King ever since we were kids."

"Funny story about that." Asta said rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand. "I, um, had a little help in seeing things a different way."

"Well, you do have a girlfriend, inexplicable as it is, so you clearly did have help." Yuno said. "But I feel like Noelle isn't the main one in that. I know you; I can't imagine anyone succeeding in getting through to you."

"Oh, I played a role." Noelle said with a smile. "But you are right that I wasn't the one who get through to Asta at the start. There was only one person with that skill, and it wasn't cheap to get her help."

"Who was it?" Yuno asked but having a feeling he already had a pretty good idea who it was.

"You remember Mereoleona Vermillion, right?" Asta asked.

"The insane woman who ran the Crimson Lion Kings when Fuegoleon was injured and once abducted us thanks to your loud mouth." Yuno said with a shudder. "How can I forget that woman, she leaves lasting mental scars wherever she goes."

"Well, she's abducted me three times since then." Asta said causing Yuno to wince, even Bell didn't look comfortable at that. "The third time was for a special three-day training schedule where she spent most of the time literally trying to slap sense into me about how I should see Sister Lily."

"Three days!" Yuno exclaimed in shock, his eyes wide at that. "You survived three days with that woman!"

"I survived 4." Noelle said with pride. "A new record apparently as most break after two."

"Wait you spent 4 days with her!" Yuno said turning to Noelle just as shocked at her statement. "Why? Why would you put yourself through that."

"How else was I to pay for her services." Noelle said with a shrug. "I needed a favor, and she was the only one I could ask. Her price was four days of living hell with her, but it was for Asta and my love of him, so I did it. Well and for Sister Lily, I spoke with her before it."

"You did?" Yuno asked surprised. "Why?"

"Well, after I was made to face my feelings and realized that I'm in love with Asta, long story for another time by the way, I went on a mission to make up for lost time so to speak." Noelle said. "That and fate kinda decided it would be fun that I face four people I believed to be my rivals in a really short period of time while living with the fifth."

At that Nero just nodded from Asta's head where she'd returned after Noelle had finished kissing him having left her head for the kiss but returning to his as it was her favorite perch. She'd been there for all but the Kahono one, though she didn't hear Rebecca's confrontation as she was in human form at the time, so she could attest to Noelle's gauntlet. Hell, she was the first stop on that path as she was the one who lived with Noelle.

"This meathead has that many women after him." Bell said not believing it as she finally started to recover from the shock of what she'd seen. "I don't believe it, not even Yuno has that many girls openly after him. My only contention is that miniature thieving raccoon."

"Neither can I." Asta said helpfully and inadvertently distracting Bell from noticing that Charmy was now right next to Yuno though everyone had forgotten about her. "But apparently it is the truth."

"I talked with 5 girls, 3 of whom are rivals who have admitted their feelings for Asta to me though I won't name them as it isn't relevant, but you do know at least one of them." Noelle said. "Two others were girls I either suspected or were at least seriously jealous of. My friend Kahono who is at the Underwater Temple and my teammate Nero were different."

"I explained to Noelle that while Asta is what I look for in a man, I am still unsure after losing my first love before I could tell him how I felt." Nero said from Asta's head surprising them all. "But I am loyal to this meathead I'm sitting on so I understand Noelle's jealousy of me, I've watched it closely, and if I had decided I liked Asta then I would have told him so I was still a rival until Noelle did what I could not with my prince."

"I didn't know any of this Nero." Asta said his head starting to hurt.

"And you don't need to know it again." Nero said from Asta's head pecking his head a few times for emphasis. "So, forget I said anything."

"The bird can talk." Yuno said blinking. "I think that's the first time I've heard her speak."

"Ignore me, I am not relevant to this." Nero said bluntly. "Go on Noelle."

"Right, thanks Nero." Noelle said a little surprised Nero chose to speak but going on. "Anyway, it turned out my friend Kahono didn't have feelings for Asta but knew of mine and tried to use various tricks, including my uncontrollable jealousy, to try and get me to open up about my feelings. It failed because my denial was so deep back then, but I learned of her actions when I confronted her and told her I love Asta and will fight for him even against her as I thought she liked him at the time. She deserved the strangling she got for that."

"Hmm, I may have to speak to this woman, she sounds like she knows a thing or two." Bell said rubbing her chin. "I could use some cunning advice to convince Yuno to see what is flying right in front of him."

"Don't, Kahono is my friend, I will not have you messing with her." Noelle said seriously, she would not let Kahono get involved in this unless it was to help Charmy, then that cunning minx could be involved. "Anyway, after that I spoke with my brother Nozel to let him know I was going to pursue Asta romantically whether he approved or not."

"He wouldn't." Yuno said. "A royal like him would never allow his sister to date a commoner like Asta even if Nozel has improved some since we first met him."

"Oh, he did approve and even gave me his blessing with an expectation that I be the one to win Asta's heart." Noelle said with a grin at the shocked look on Yuno's face. "And we told him after we started dating and while he sat Asta down for a long chat…"

"I will not repeat that." Asta interrupted with a shiver. "Big brothers are scary, but I do have advice for whenever I meet the guy brave enough to try and date Recca or Aruru when they are old enough."

"Nozel is just being protective which is nice." Noelle said with a smile. "And after the private chat with Asta he expressed his support for us. We also told Mereoleona, right before we got roped into another training session as we had interrupted hers to tells us, who proclaimed me the strong one and then tried to give me tips that night in the hot springs."

"Tips?" Asta asked confused, he didn't recall that but there had been a wall separating them, so he hadn't heard her.

"Not here, or for a while." Noelle said with a shudder. "I don't know who was worse, her or Vanessa as both have different styles."

"That woman does strike me as someone who can break any man she wants." Bell said. "That drink of hers was beyond lethal."

"So that was why you were hung over after the hot springs." Yuno said annoyed at how he to deal with Bell in that state. "I won't forget that."

"Damn, busted but I am still cute so you will forgive me." Bell said before trying to bat her eyelashes at Yuno and failing.

"No." Yuno said bluntly to the Wind Spirit who just pouted at that.

"Yes well I went to Mereoleona the first time because I had just gone to see Sister Lily alone." Noelle said getting them back on track before Bell could throw a tantrum. "So, she deserved to know the second time as she had been a great help."

"Wait you went to Hage on your own?" Yuno asked he wasn't sure he could handle all these shocks even if he may or may not have heard it before and needed more clarity. "You, a royal, went to Hage alone?"

"Yes well I had to chat with Sister Lily about everything." Noelle said. "As love blind as I was with Asta, and I really was, I do recall him once saying that he'd marry her."

"You only heard it once?" Yuno asked with a raised eyebrow. "I heard it daily for a decade."

"Yes I am special like that, and it really helped me get a few delusions for a while." Noelle said with a smile at how she'd been luckier than Yuno in that regard even if it had caused her a few misunderstandings. "But I did recall it after realizing my feelings for Asta and decided to talk with Sister Lily about it, as well as telling her that I loved Asta and getting her blessing to win him."

"That doesn't surprise me." Yuno said. "She would help anyone who wanted to win Asta like that, that's just who she is."

"Well, I was lucky that I was the only one who sought her out then." Noelle said with pride that she'd been the sole one of the four after Asta to seek out Sister Lily. "She confirmed everything to me and how she couldn't and wouldn't marry Asta. I was going to see Mereoleona anyway to get her advice on how to break through Asta's dense skull but instead I went for a favor. She accepted and helped make Asta a clean slate for me."

"It wasn't fun." Asta said with a shudder at the memory. "I've never been slapped so many times before."

"But it was for you own good Dorksta." Noelle said smiling at him before kissing his cheek again. "And it worked as I was able to finally confess to you in the Heart Kingdom, and well the rest you know."

"That is wild and unbelievable." Yuno said shaking his head still finding it unbelievable, but he couldn't deny the facts before hum. "But the evidence is incontrovertible. Asta has a girlfriend and it's a royal no less."

"Yup believe it Yuno, I have a woman now." Asta said with a grin. "You may be a King, but I got a girlfriend first, a beautiful royal one who loves me for me and is totally awesome. I really like Noelle and being her boyfriend is great. In this instance I am beating you."

"Asta, you know just what to say." Noelle said reaching up to turn his face to hers and kissing him on the lips again only this time it was more chaste even if she did let it linger a little longer than was strictly necessary. "It's no wonder I fell in love with you."

"This is really happening, isn't it." Yuno said blinking before lightly slapping himself. "I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Nope, I have a girlfriend and you don't." Asta said still grinning. "So, I may not have fully caught up to you, but I am well on my way. I'll be the Wizard King in no time and Noelle will be by my side the entire time."

"Yuno does have a girlfriend, he has me." Bell said defensively. "And I am far better than any royal."

"No Bell, you're not that." Yuno said bluntly.

"Meany, you owe me a date for that." Bell whined.

"No, I don't." Yuno said simply.

"He's right, you are just the Wind Spirt and nothing more to my king." Charmy said speaking for the first time and reminding them that she was still there. "But I think this is the perfect time for a double date, don't you Yuno? There's a festival to go to and there are two guys and two girls here, one pair is already a couple and the other will be."

"There are three girls, and you aren't going to get Yuno." Bell yelled flying down to get in her rival's face. "Four actually if you count the bird."

"Nope, don't count me, the only guy here I'd ever be interested in is taken so I'm on my own for this." Nero said from Asta's head. "Well, I'm sitting on Asta for it, but you get the picture."

"Besides, Bell is a Wind Spirit, so she doesn't count." Noelle said with a grin as she backed up her friend and teammate. "Charmy does have a good point though. A double date would be fun, and it would show a more human side to Yuno to go with Charmy as she's also a commoner, not a noble. We did a double date with Kahono and her brother Kiato, naturally I was with Kiato for that, but you can't have siblings date no matter how much Gauche's nose bleeds for it, during the Star Awards Festival and it was a lot of fun."

"Yeah it really was." Asta said his density kicking in and inadvertently helping Noelle as she had hoped it would. "Come on Yuno, it will be great. Double dates are all about fun and really make a festival better. Plus, no one knows how to enjoy festival food like Charmy."

"That and it is actually for public safety that Charmy have an escort." Noelle said seriously building off what Asta was saying to twist it to Charmy's advantage. "She was a hazard in the Heart Kingdom when she was there so her unsupervised at a festival in a kingdom where she's never had the food before is a recipe for a disaster. It will look extra good if the King can control her."

"You will not do this." Bell protested looking in horror at Noelle and realizing that the Black Bull girls must have orchestrated this before arriving, it was a bloody conspiracy to prevent Yuno from being with his true beloved, her. "I won't allow…"

"Fine, I don't see why not, we are all here together already, so it makes sense." Yuno said a little confused at what was happening but he doubted there was a way out of it and Asta had vouched for it so he had to do it now, he couldn't let his rival down by denying this. "It could be fun as a group."

"My king." Charmy said before surprising Yuno and leaping up and into his arms so he could carry her causing Bell to go apoplectic at the sight. "I knew you would approve. I'll feed you the best food we find."

"Um this probably isn't appropriate." Yuno said as he held Charmy awkwardly though she didn't mind at all. "It is a little strange."

"No that is normal with Charmy and for the best." Noelle said looking out for her friend while the Wind Spirit was melting down as Charmy smirked victoriously at Bell. "She's sat on the Wizard King's lap, even fed him, to watch you in the Royal Knights Selection Exam and she used to do that with Loropechika though she fed Charmy instead, it's just what Charmy does. Plus, this way we don't lose her, and she eats all the festival food before we realize she's missing if that happens."

"Ah I see, yes then this is for the best." Yuno said while Bell spluttered her objections and adjusting his hold on Charmy so that it was appropriate and secure while Charmy basked in his hold. "No Bell, Noelle is right. This festival is for everyone in the Spade Kingdom, and it would be bad if we accidentally ruined it because of Charmy here as that could be an international embarrassment for the Clover Kingdom so we have a duty to watch over her. I am sure she will behave if we walk around like this, right Charmy?"

"For you I'd forgo food." Charmy said dreamily as she enjoyed the bliss of the moment.

That took Noelle by surprise. Charmy was seriously into Yuno if she would say something like that though Yuno was naturally dense to the meaning of it. Well, Noelle was going to make sure that this double date was the best and give Charmy the foundation she needed to win Yuno's heart. It would also be the first time she and Asta had a proper date in a public setting so that was going to be fun as well.

"Shall we go then." Noelle said. "This is your kingdom Yuno, so lead the way and show us the sights we missed last time seeing as we were too busy trying not to die to notice them."

"Yes, it is time we went and joined the festival." Yuno said as he led them out. "It should be in full swing by now so I should make my appearance at this time."

For her part Bell was furious but knew she couldn't do anything, yet. She'd get the thieving raccoon back though and she intended to watch over her rival like a hawk from Yuno's shoulder as he carried Charmy with Asta and Noelle holding hands behind him. At least that royal wasn't a rival even if Bell didn't understand what she saw in that loud mouthed, overly muscled, moron who could get Yuno to smile so sweetly when no one else could. She would get Yuno to smile like that with her and only her. That meant she'd have to defeat this glutton first and she fully intended to do that.

Charmy was just ecstatic that everything had gone to plan if not better thanks to Asta's denseness helping them. Now she was being carried by her King of Provisions and she was going to make this date the best date ever for him so that he would want another one with her. She owed Noelle big for this, but her friend had pulled through and Charmy was currently in heaven. Noelle's next date with Asta would be the best catered date ever.

Unbeknownst to either Charmy or Bell, Nero flew off Asta's head and landed on Yuno's, which was much less comfortable, to look over the situation. She didn't much care much for this romance, but Charmy was her teammate and friend, even if the bottomless pit had tried to fatten her up to cook and eat her when they first met, and as such Nero would look out for her on this date and stop Bell if need be. Noelle wouldn't be the only Black Bull wing woman for Charmy tonight.

Noelle just smiled as she held Asta's left hand in her right, their fingers interlocked, and excited for the double date. This whole trip had gone better than she could have planned, and she knew she was close to fully winning Asta's heart. He had her love and soon she'd have his. After all that had happened this was perfect. At last things were looking up and Noelle couldn't wait to see what the future would hold with the man she loved with all her heart.

There it is, hopefully the last chapter in this collection and the culmination of Charmy's special with a nice end for her. I am considering two spinoff stories for this, in the distant future, with one focused on Charmy and Yuno's relationship starting basically where this chapter left off but focused more on them than Asta and Noelle, while bringing in 3 characters to help out with a more story like tale. The other would be another collection of conversations, only this one would be for Asta and not Noelle and focus on various conversations he's been referred to having such as with Nozel and Sister Lily, along with new conversations with others like Mimosa, Kiato, Kahono, and more, as well as dates with Noelle and a look at his growing feelings for her with a few major milestones throne in for good measure. At least that is the current idea but as I have two fully active long stories and two side stories in one of those two story's universe, along with two more long crossovers I'm steadily working on, this may be a while. I never intended for Teatime for Tsunderes to become this, but I am glad, and this is by far the fasted I've ever reached 100k, so I want to thank all of you for your support and encouragement that has helped make this story a possibility so thank you. Hopefully, this is it for good now so I will end it here. That is all I have so for the final time I will end a chapter, please favorite and let me know what you think of it in reviews and PMs.
