Summary
After completing their tasks, Asta, Noelle Silva, Mimosa Vermillion, Finral Roulacase, Leopold Vermillion, and Luck Voltia meet up with the Heart Kingdom princess Lolopechka. She tells them that they all did great work, since it is because of their efforts that they were able to occupy the town Tolon within the Spade Kingdom. Lolopechka informs them that she was able to send one of Undine's clones to Tolon, thanks to Noelle's Water Magic, and to erect a barrier that is similar to the one that surrounds the Heart Kingdom around Tolon. With it, she will be able to sense the Megicula's mana in an instant because of the curse that was put on her. Lolopechka tells them that they keep expanding their territory and in order to drive the devil out of the Spade Kingdom. Noelle thinks about how expanding their territory is no small task, but it might be doable with Lolopechka's power since she is no ordinary princess. Lolopechka then dismisses them all for the day.

Luck says that he still needs more training and asks Gadjah to spare with him. Leopold comments about how the Fire Spirit Guardian, Floga, was a force to be reckoned with while he was training him. Leopold says that he wants to know how strong Gadjah is and asks for a match, and Asta asks too. Gadjah tells them that they have to rest their bodies for a while since they have just gotten back. Asta tells Gadjah that they are totally fine and that he does not need to worry about them. Luck tells Gadjah that they should go at it until they are beaten and bloodied, and Leopold comments about how he is getting real fired up now. Lolopechka says that that sounds like so much fun and that she wants in, but Undine tells Lolopechka that that is not okay. Noelle informs Lolopechka that they are going to wash up since they have gotten dirty while in the Grand Magic Zone, and Mimosa says that she will join her. Undine tells Lolopechka that she should join them since they cannot have her all disheveled after that bloody battle. Finral thinks about how Noelle, Mimosa, and Lolopechka are all going to be taking a bath together but tells himself that he must not get excited over any girl but Finesse Calmreich. Noelle tells Finral to get his mind out of the gutter before she kills him, to which Finral says that it takes everything he has just to keep it together. Suddenly a woman rushes in and informs them that something terrible has happened in the Polnfrume Forest: Charmy Pappitson has appeared there. Finral says that they have no choice, but Asta tells him to sit this one out since he is probably tired from transporting all the people that were captured. Finral says that Asta is gonna end up working twice as hard now, to which Asta says he will be fine since he does not use magic, even though Finral was talking about his stamina. Asta pulls out his Demon-Slayer Sword, jumps on it, and flies off on it by controlling the Anti Magic within it. Finral watches as Asta flies away and remembers the time when Asta could not even fly with a broom.

At Elmora Lake, Noelle, Mimosa, and Lolopechka get into the water while Undine watches over them. Lolopechka notices that Mimosa's breast have gotten bigger and asks if she can touch them. Noelle also wonders if Mimosa's breasts have gotten bigger, and Mimosa tells them that it is just their imagination. Lolopechka suddenly grabs Mimosa's breast and comments about how they are satisfying to squeeze, which Mimosa finds ticklish. Lolopechka stops and comments about how she is glad that the Clover Kingdom is filled with such good people. Noelle responds that right now they are surrounded by nothing but morons. Lolopechka comments about how she was worried at first since she did not know what she was going to do if they had ended up being mean and scary. She then comments about how she may not always seem like it but she is the princess of the Heart Kingdom, and that she must do her best to play the role properly while in the presence of her people. She then tells them that she is so glad that she was able to make friends with whom she is able to be herself. After hearing this, Undine comments about how adorable Lolopechka is while Noelle and Mimosa comment about how it is only natural that they get along since they are all royalty.

Asta reaches the Polnfrume Forest and finds Charmy, who greets him and offers him some of the food she is eating. Shocked at how fat Charmy has gotten from eating the fruit, Asta wonders just how much she has eaten and tells her that she has to stop eating. Charmy wonders why since it is not her fault that all these fruits are born so delicious. Asta asks if eating is the only thing she knows how to do, but Charmy says that she thinks about plenty of other things apart from eating. She thinks about Yuno and wonders what he is up to.

At the Golden Dawn base, a Magic Knight asks the vice-captain if he has a moment. Yuno informs the Knight that he is heading out for a mission and asks what is do urgent. The Knight says that they have gotten a report from the church is Hage. Hearing this, Yuno tells the Knight that he will head there immediately.
