Reborn In Black Clover With Demon Slaying Magic - Volume 1 Chapter 41 Backing It Up
‘Oh ho, now that’s some malice.’ Feeling Gauche’s murderous aura, Grim couldn’t help but smile as his fire sword manifested in his hand.
Seeing the loving look Marie was giving Grim and Asta, Gauche couldn’t hold himself back as his mana started to fluctuate. “For tainting the mind of my beloved Marie, I SENTENCE YOU TO DEATH!”
[Mirror Magic: Reflect Ray]
Summoning out a large mirror tool, Gauche’s mana ran through his body and into his grimoire as he prepared to activate a spell.
Grinning at the prospect at fighting a new opponent, Grim dug his feet into the ground as he lowered his stance as prepared to shoot forward.
[Breath of Flames: First Form – Unknowing Fire]
*BOOM!!*
Bursting forward at neck breaking speed, Grim left a fiery trail of flames behind him as his figure shot forward and appeared in front of Gauche with the tip of his sword pressed against his adam apple.
‘…W-What!?’
Unable to believe what had just occurred, Gauche blinked several times until he was sure that the cold feeling pressing against his throat was a sword.
‘H-He’s in front of me!!’
“You thought you could kill me with this amount of skill?” Grim spoke in a quiet time so that only Gauche could hear him. “I don’t know if I should feel insulted or not.”
Feeling the sword dig deeper into his skin, worry finally descended upon Gauche as he realized that he was seconds away from death. And to make matters even worse, this damned brat was smiling like with f.u.c.k.i.n.g joy!
‘This bastard!’
“You couldn’t even react to my speed and yet you thought you could kill me? Are you retarded?”
But just before Grim could push the sword forward, a loud voice stopped him from proceeding any further and drew in everyone’s attention.
“WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!?”
“Huh?”
“Eh?”
Turning their heads in the direction the voice was coming from, the gray haired nun Theresa stood there and looked at him and Gauche questionably.
—
“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO!!” Theresa shouted as both boys stood before her.
“What? I was just showing him that you shouldn’t be arrogant unless you have the ability to back it up.” Grim smiled innocently while switching between magic attributes for practice.
“Arrogant? YOU’RE THE MOST ARROGANT PERSON HERE!!”
“Hehehe yeah.”
‘This muthaf.u.c.ka!’
[A/n: Lol, calm down sister.]
“Tch, where’s Marie.” Gauche muttered no longer caring about Grim. After sister Theresa came out, Marie and the other children were sent back inside the church while she reprimanded the two of them.
“And you!!” She turned her attention onto Gauche. “Why in God’s name did you pick a fight with this psycho!”
“Psycho? That’s a bit harsh.” Grim said after hearing Theresa chastise Gauche.
“BE QUIET!!” She yelled growing more and more annoyed by Grim’s nonchalant attitude before switching back to Gauche.
Ignoring Gauche getting reprimanded, Grim realized that he still hadn’t had a rematch with Theresa yet.
“You Goddamn sister loving fr-
“Hey sister, how about we go at it again?” Grim asked without anyone around them understanding the context.
“What?” Surprised by Grim’s sudden question, Theresa stopped reprimanding Gauche and looked at Grim with confusion.
“You know what. The last time I was here you left me laying flat on my ass from exhaustion. For an old lady you really wore me out, now I want to show you that just what I’ve learnt in these last couple of months!”
‘WHAT!!’
Misunderstanding the context behind the conversation, Rebecca’s eyes went wide as she couldn’t stop looking back and forth between Grim and Theresa.
‘WHAT THE HELL!!’
“You okay?” Asta asked after seeing her face go pale.
“G-Grim and sister Theresa t-they…”
“I know right.” Asta nodded and made a serious face. “To think that Grim would get beaten by an old lady like sister Theresa, I never would have guessed.”
“Wait what?!”
—
“You damn brat! Stop saying things that will make people misunderstand!!”
“Eh?” Taking a moment to think about his previous wording, it slowly dawned on him what she was talking about. Looking at the horrified look on Gauche’s face and then back at Theresa, Grim couldn’t help but burst into laughter as he dropped to the floor and started rolling around.
“Pffthahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Oh God!! Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!”
“What’s so funny about getting with me!” Theresa glared at him after seeing tears gathering in the corner of his eyes.
[A/n: Weird thing for a nun to say.]
Unable to hear over the sound of his own laughter, Grim continued laughing until Theresa eventually left.
—
“Oh f.u.c.k, my cheeks hurt from laughing so much.” Standing up from the ground, Grim felt a stretching pain in his cheeks as he started to massage them.
‘Hey Grim.” Rebecca called out seeing that he had finally calmed down.
“Hmm?”
“Its getting dark, do you guys have a place to stay the night?”
Now that she mentioned it, Grim realized that Asta basically dragged him here and the two of them hadn’t really planned on staying for this long.
‘How did I not notice how dark it was getting?’
[A/n: Because you were to busy laughing…]
Seeing as how Grim had fallen silent, Rebecca gathered her courage and spoke up.
“I-If you have nowhere else to go, you guys can spend the night at my house.”
“Really?” Grim looked at her suspiciously.
‘She’s being weirdly nice.’
“Sure, its only one night.”
“…What do you say Asta?” Grim turned to his friend and asked.
“Sure!” He smiled.
“I guess we’re spending the night then.” Grim said turning back to face Rebecca.
“Oh… Are we bringing him along?” She pointed to a stone faced Gauche.
After realizing that he hadn’t spent anytime with his sister, Gauche was stuck in this frozen state as he was still recovering.
“Lets leave him.” Grim said after seeing that Gauche was paying attention to them.
“We can’t do that!” Asta denied. “He’s a member of our squad! We can’t just leave him.”
“Sure we can, all we have to do is walk away without looking back.”
“GRIM!!”
*Sigh* “Fine, you can bring the sis-con along with us.”
“Thanks Grim!” Asta smiled before picking Gauche up.
