"Ah, why me?" Charmy's face instantly fell.
"Don't think I don't know that you slept from beginning to end. If you don't get to work, watch out, or I'll smack you!" Yami said viciously.
"I'm sorry for making you fall into a deep sleep." Kahono quickly apologized to Charmy.
"It's fine, it's fine, I'll be right back!" Charmy quickly waved her hand to signal. Very soon, she gathered the three members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun into her palm using Cotton Restraint Magic. As for the other member who used Spatial Magic, he had been accidentally killed by Yami.
"The heroes are coming out! Look, the Goddess of the Sea and the God of War of the Sea are walking together!" The residents of the Underwater Temple had long been surrounding the temple exit. Now, seeing Asta and the others come out, they immediately welcomed them. Various flowers and praises were thrown at the group as if they were free.
"Hahaha, everyone is quite enthusiastic!" Charmy scratched the back of her head and laughed.
"That big-headed Little Girl, although she slept through the whole match, she was quite diligent when cleaning up the battlefield alone at the end!" After an underwater man smirked, Charmy's anger flared up instantly, but her little ears soon heard another piece of good news.
"Tonight, the High Priest is so happy, do you think there will be a Dragon Palace Banquet!" An underwater resident asked in confusion.
"I think it's highly likely. That gathering features the most complete collection of our underwater delicacies!" Another underwater resident said, drooling.
"Dragon Palace Banquet? Just hearing the name makes me hungry!" Charmy was extremely excited, her mind filled with imaginary underwater delicacies.
"Kahono, is there really fine wine underwater that doesn't exist on the surface?" Vanessa asked quietly.
"Of course, Sister Vanessa. The wine we brew underwater is always infused with a plant that only exists on the seabed. Whether it's beer, wine, or liquor, it's exceptionally delicious!" Kahono said proudly.
"Little sister, besides becoming a singer, her biggest dream is to sell these specialties to the surface." Kiat leaned on a homemade crutch and smiled, "However, due to the inconvenient transportation, it is very difficult to send these foods up."
"I'm not thinking about making money, I just feel sad thinking that the residents on the surface can't eat the underwater delicacies!" Kahono immediately pouted, looking as cute as could be.
"Right, right, right, we who can't eat underwater delicacies are very pitiful!" Charmy quickly nodded in empathy.
"You're the only one who thinks that!" Magna rolled his eyes, then couldn't help but look at Asta. The young man before him had really shown a different side since he first joined the squad. That hot-blooded heart infected everyone in the squad. He was really happy to be a partner with Asta.
"Hello, beautiful ladies of the seabed, can you go on a date with me!" Finral was already so happy he forgot to return home, as if Zhu Bajie had arrived at the Spider Cave, and he was already dazzled by the choices.
"Sorry, I want to get to know that silver-haired boy~"
"Are you close with the God of War of the Sea? Does he have a girlfriend?" The underwater girls surrounding Finral also shyly asked their own questions.
"Not a single person... asked about me..." Finral lay on the ground, crying sadly.
"Marie! Marie! Marie! Did you see that? This is the beautiful Dragon Palace! No, the Underwater Temple! But it's as wonderful as the Dragon Palace! You want to come too? Okay, okay, Finral has the coordinates now, you can come anytime!" Gauche had already started video chatting with his sister Marie by himself.
"By the way, Finral, bring Gordon over. He must be quite lonely up there by himself!" Asta suddenly turned his head and said to Finral, who was kneeling on the ground crying.
"That's right. Thinking about it, Gordon is so pitiful; he's never included in anything!" Noelle naturally supported Asta's left arm.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Finral!" Vanessa supported Asta's right arm. In truth, Asta could walk perfectly fine on his own, but whether it was psychological or not, the moment Noelle and Vanessa leaned in close, he felt like he couldn't walk at all.
"Alright!" Finral nodded.
"Bring my sister over while you're at it!" Gauche said immediately.
"Seriously? Do you think this is a vacation?" Finral was shocked.
"The mission is already over anyway, and my sister Marie wants to see it, so what's the harm in bringing her over?" Gauche glared at him.
"So fierce. Shouldn't we ask the Captain for permission first?" Finral shrank his neck back.
"Then go ask for permission already!" Gauche said.
"I'm not going. Whoever asked for it should go!" Thinking of Yami's temper, Finral refused to budge.
"Captain, it wouldn't be too much to bring a few friends over, would it?" Asta thought it would be livelier with more people, so he asked.
"You contributed the most during this mission and were injured the worst, so it's up to you!" Yami said without turning his head. Now that the Magic Stone was in hand and Vetto had been killed, he figured there was no more danger, so bringing a few people over wasn't excessive.
"Great! Big Sister Vanessa, do me a favor and use your Thread Magic to record a list!" Asta quickly said to Vanessa.
"You're too close, Asta!" Vanessa protested slightly. Because she was supporting Asta, when he turned his head, their faces were almost touching.
However, Asta seemed completely oblivious, even leaning closer to Vanessa's ear to whisper the list of people he wanted to invite. "Did you hear that, Vanessa?"
"I heard you!" Vanessa rolled her eyes. She might be a heavy drinker, but she was quite smart, alright? She immediately used her Thread Magic to create a list and tossed it to Finral with a thread.
"This isn't..." Finral looked at the first name on the list, and his whole demeanor instantly soured.
