章 62: Aftermath

'If I'm this strong now, I wonder how strong I'll be I'm the future.'

"Madara!" Asta yelled as he flew into Madaras' back. Noelle then came and pushed Asta out the way to talk to Madara.

'How fast did she just run?'

"No one asked for your help. But I guess you saved us. You should've shown up sooner." Noelle said, with her arms crossed.

'I'm going to enjoy breaking you.' Madara thought as Vanessa came and pushed Noelle out the way to hug Madara.

"Oh, Madara! I think I might've fallen for you." Vanessa said as she poured wine into Madaras' mouth.

"I wonder. What do I do with this vital piece of information?" Madara asked with his hand placed on his chin while looking in front of him.

"Act on it," Vanessa whispered in Madaras' ear as Finral approached Madara.

'I'm not going to regret what I do to you.'

"I thought I was going to die..." Finral said as he buried his face into Madaras' shoulder. "I saw my life flash before my eyes..."

"You were useful out there, unlike Sakura or Aqua," Madara said, whispering the last part.

"Thanks, but who's Sakura and Aqua?" Finral asked before being pushed out the way by Grey.

With her hands covering her face, she said, "Y-You were amazing, Madara!" She then got too embarrassed and ran off.

'Grey doesn't look half bad.'

"La, you were amazing!" Charmy said, atop one of her sheep. She then jumped onto Madara as she was praising him.

Charmy then jumped back onto her sheep, after Yami came caving through the ceiling. He walked over to Madara, ignoring the rest of the squad. When Yami stopped, it was right in front of Madara.

The tension between them was thick. The other was confused about why Yami seemed to be in a mood.

"You bastard," Yami said as he took a drag from his cigarette. "If you gave me a little time, I would've surpassed my limits."

"You mean you were going to take the credit for everyone else's work, am I right?" Madara asked, causing Yami to laugh.

"That's exactly what I was going to do!" Yami said while laughing. This made the rest of the squad stare at him blankly.

"You all did well. Good job not dying because if you did," Yami's expression turned serious. "I would've killed you myself."

After that, Gifso thanked and congratulated Madara for defeating Vetto. Yami asked Gifso for the magic stone, but he said he didn't know what it was.

After a little time, Secre came with a blue stone in her mouth, as she landed atop of Madaras' head. Secre dropped the stone and it landed in Madaras' hand.

He looked at the and for the time before giving it to Yami, he felt his Magic power jump. He didn't know if the others felt it and didn't decide to say anything, or they just didn't care.

'They'll have to work for the last one. I'm not giving it up so easily this time.' Madara thought seeing Yami pocket the stone.

"All of you... Well done." Yami said, making the squad hold up the clover sign. Then, six out of nine of them either passed out or fell to their knees.

'I wonder how the women of the temple or in bed. Maybe I should go and find out.'

888

Sitting in the infirmary, Luck, Magna, Gauche, Vanessa, and Finral were lying on beds with a string of bubbles connected to their arms. The infirmary was different no matter where Madara was, but it was all the same, but unique.

While everyone else was talking, Madara was deep in thought. Madara was sitting on the still along with Charmy while waiting for the others to heal.

Though he had his eyes closed, he could still see. At least his eyes were only on Vanessa. He wasn't jealous about the lack of clothes, he was waiting to see her without any clothes.

But he knew he had to wait on that. He had to wait because of the upcoming attack from the Diamond Kingdom.

To be honest, he wasn't even sure if they would attack. Since Madara and Charlotte took out most of them. Well, it was Charlotte who took out most of them.

While thinking, Madara heard the people of Seabed Temple cheering for him, and his squad. Honestly, it felt good to be praised by the people.

After a while, the people kept thanking them and it's got annoying after the first thirty seconds. They even got food, and the people were still thanking them. Of course, Madara and Vanessa shared a bottle of wine.

Time passed and it was time to leave Seabed Temple. They could've left earlier, but Madara didn't feel like making a portal. The reason? Because he didn't feel like it.

Asta was talking to Kiato and Kahono about not giving up on their dreams. Before Asta could finish, Madara put his arm around Noelle and whispered something in her ear.

Well, what was said is unknown, but from Noelle's reaction, we still don't know what he said.

Noelle's knees almost buckled, her face turned scarlet, and her eyes dropped a little. Almost to this dazed state.

He looked Kiato in the eyes before he winked at Noelle. It wasn't that he didn't like him, it was him sending a message that he was hers.

Kiato seemed to get the text, but not the message.

He looked Madara in the eyes with a determined look, like he was still going to fight to make Noelle his. Madara scoffed as Noelle regained her composer and pushed Madara off of her.

Noelle, on the other hand, seemed to be in deep thought after hearing what Madara said. The reason she pushed him off her wasn't because of what he was, but because she was embarrassed.

She wasn't ready for the sudden change. Even if she wasn't ready yet, she couldn't say that she didn't enjoy it. Without noticing, she smiled thinking about Madaras' touch.

Madara saw this and pretended like he didn't. He just had a few more seeds to plant and he was fine, for now.

'It's too easy,'

Finral created a portal back to base, and without wasting any time, Gauche was the first to go. Then the others followed behind saying their goodbyes.

As they left, the people sent them off with a song. Honestly, when Kahono started singing, it wasn't bad, but Madara would never want to hear her sing in that state again.

Everyone else started singing as well, it didn't sound half bad.

'Why couldn't they have sung this when I was in the reincarnation center?'

888

When they made it back to base, everyone got comfortable and fell asleep. Not long after, Yami, Asta, Charmy, Finral, and Madara made their way to the capitol.

Asta then recalled the stone Secre picked up looked like a magic stone. He was about to ask Madara, but Yami clenched his skull with gorilla grip strength.

In Julius's office, they were talking about the Eye of the Midnight Sun. He then got into this sentimental stuff that Madara could care less for.

After they were talking, Marx appeared through communication magic and said the Diamond Kingdom was attacking.

'They still did it... How stupid could they be?'

"Hey, Julius. If I bring you the leading ones this attack and the rest, can you do me a favor?" Madara asked, causing everyone to look at him.

Though they wanted to say he was crazy, in the past, he has proven his strength numerous times. Julius thought about it for what felt like hours, then spoke.

"Keep the killing to a minimum. But if you can bring me those three, I will grant your request and give you and your squad stars." Julius said, receiving a smirk from Madara.

"I accept. But about the killing thing, no promises."
