Give us a lift

"Sekke!!" said Asta as he ran towards Sekke who just came out of the ground with the drill in his hand.

Sekke looked at the injured Asta and released his spell and landed on the ground.

"Phew, that was some adventure." said Sekke with a smirk and then immediately punched the incoming Asta.

"Waa! Why?!" complained Asta as he fell down on his butt and looked up at Sekke who punched him out of nowhere.

"If not for you interfering there, I could have taken him down without causing that much destructing and making it out like this. Consider it your punishment." said Sekke.

"What?! I didn't understand what you mean?" asked Asta.

"Just think of it as you getting punished for doing something wrong." said Sekke.

"Ehh?...Hmmm I still don't understand what you mean. But I am sorry!" apologized Asta as he bowed his head.

Sekke sighed and then said, "It's alright. I am used to taking care of your mess anyway."

Sekke took a deep breath and then sat down on the ground.

"Ahh, finally some fresh air..." said Sekke and then lied down.

Secre who was sitting in his pocket came out as well and stood on top of his chest.

"Told you we will come out totally fine." said Sekke as he patted Secre's head.

"Sekke-san!!" said Mimosa who came running towards him and then started panting as she finally arrived.

"Are-Are you all right?" asked Mimosa while still trying to calm herself down.

"Yup, totally fine." said Sekke.

"I-I will just check you just in case." said Mimosa with a blush as she could see some part of Seeke's stomach because of his clothes being torn up a bit because of the battle.

"Hey! What was that back there? Did you wanted to die?" asked Klaus as he shifted his glasses and looked at Sekke.

"Hmm...well Yuno was having trouble carrying all of us while avoiding the incoming debris so I just decided to be the man and do the manly job of let others out of there safely." said Sekke.

"Huh? What manly job? That was a straight up death wish there." retorted Klaus.

"Hmph, you wouldn't say that if you were a man you know?" said Sekke with a smirk.

"H-Hah! Are you saying that I am not manly?!" said Klaus.

Sekke just shrugged his shoulders and then stood up, "Who knows, anyways looks like the expedition is over."

Hearing his words all of them turned silent and looked towards the collapsed dungeon which started to disappear.

"Looks like it." said Klaus as he looked at the dungeon and then towards Sekke.

"Anyways, I am glad that you made it back safely." said Klaus.

"My my, Mr. noble is worried for me." said Sekke making Klaus a bit embarrassed as he started giving excuses about how that was not the case.

"It's fine now Mimosa, save up your mana or you will be troubled lat-" said Sekke as he tried to stop Mimosa but all of sudden the ginger head royal stumbled a bit seeing which Sekke caught her and supported her body.

"Well looks like it's already too late. We should rest up for a bit before we decide to go back. Anyone having problems in my proposal?" asked Sekke as he looked at the other totally not noticing the blushing royal in his arms.

"No problems." said Klaus hearing which Yuno nodded as well.

The black bulls gave a nod as well and Sekke gestured Noelle to come and take care of Mimosa.

"Oh and take this for the meantime. Though it might not be of the quality that you are used to I don't think you would like to move around showing that much skin, right?" said Sekke as he gave his slightly damaged shirt to Noelle leaving him only in his tank top which was damaged a bit as well.

Noelle who now once again got reminded of her current outfit blushed a bit and snatched the shirt from Sekke's hand.

"Hmph, be glad that a royal like me is going to wear something like this." said Noelle.

But hearing that Sekke immediately snatched his shirt back and said, "How can I cause such a discourtesy of making a royal wear clothes like this?"

Noelle got slightly angered hearing his response and started bickering with him only to end up properly asking and thanking him for his consideration.

Suddenly out of nowhere Asta came behind them and enveloped the two of them along with Lick into a hug and said, "We all made it, guys!" with a huge smile on his face.

Hearing that all the black bulls smiled seeing which Yuno and Mimosa smiled as well as they saw their friends being happy and being able to find a place where they were welcomed.

--------------------

Later that day once everyone was able to recover their mana and Asta got healed by Mimosa all of them decided to go back to their respective HQ.

"Well, it seems like we will be on our way now."

"Hey hey let's fight the next time we see each other." said Luck as he stood in front of Yuno.

"...Maybe." replied Yuno.

"See you later Noelle-san."

"Yes, see you later."

"Yuno!! I will defeat you the next time we meet."

"No, I will defeat you next time." said Yuno and then glanced at Sekke and said, "I will defeat you too."

"Try your best." said Sekke with a confident smirk seeing which both Yuno and Asta felt annoyed.

"Take care of yourself Mimosa." said Sekke as he looked at the royal who looked back at him with a smile and nodded her head.

"Y-You too Sekke-san."

"Alright, let's get going then...." declared Sekke as all of them nodded.

"..."

"..."

"...How are we going back?" asked Noelle.

The rest of the black bulls looked at eachother with a questioning look on their faces.

"We can use Sekke's swo-" said Asta.

"Like hell I will allow you to taint my Extase-chan!" said Sekke as he looked at Asta.

"Hahaha let's start running now to go back! The last one to reach home will have to fight me." said Luck.

The rookies just stood silently and mentally ignored Luck's suggestion as they were too tired to react to his antics.

All of them then turned towards the golden dawn members who were preparing to go back.

----------------------

"Yuno" said Klaus hearing which Yuno nodded and his Grimoire started flipping.

But suddenly out of nowhere both Yuno and Klaus felt someone grip their shoulders making them turn around.

"...Give us a lift." said Sekke and Asta with a serious look on their faces.

"Hey we met again shall we fight now?!" asked Luck as he stood in front of Yuno with an excited smile on his face.
