Chapter 17 (Quartet Knights)

Reckless and Strategy (暴走と作戦) is the 17th chapter of Tashiro Yumiya's Black Clover Side-Story: Quartet Knights.

Summary
As they are in the Quicksand Dungeon, Yami comments about how this dungeon has a lot more trap compared to the other dungeons. Yami also comments about how even through there is a ton of traps, why have they been captured by sand monster. Asta panics, while Noelle wonders what to do, and Yami curses Luck.

Back when the four first arrived, Luck is excited about how amazing the dungeon is and starts to jump around. Yami comments about how happy Luck is, which Noelle says that Luck is a battle enthusiast. Asta comments about the last time that they were in a dungeon with Luck, which Noelle says that she now knows what to do and restrain Luck with her magic. Luck apologies and breaks himself free, while commenting about how he cannot be obedient. Luck thinks about how he is sorry, but they will see that this is a good plan and that he is counting on them. Luck rampages around the dungeon, which causes the traps to activate. As the traps activate, Yami, Noelle, and Asta run but are still captured by the sand monster.

Back in the present, Yami wonders where Luck had gone which Asta says that Luck might have gone deeper into the dungeon. As the sand monster attacks, Yami and Asta counter and free themselves. Yami says that they will defeat the monster and chase after Luck.

Elsewhere in the dungeon, Luck is running down a corridor. Luck thinks about how there are no Magic Knights here, even through they should have arrived earlier. Luck also thinks about how he can feel a dark mana source far deeper in the dungeon. Luck says that he hopes the others are all okay since he is not a bad as he used to be. Luck also thinks about how at the rate that he is going, he will be able to overtake the enemy.
