Rain poured outside. Thunder shook the tiny church. Father Orsi was peacefully sleeping in his chair.
Father Orsi: Zzz... five more minutes...
Suddenly—
BABY: WAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Father Orsi: AAAAAAH!
He fell out of his chair.
Father Orsi: WHO IS SCREAMING?!
Another baby started crying.
Baby: WAAAAAAH!
Father Orsi: TWO?!
Father Orsi ran outside and found two baskets sitting on the church steps.
Father Orsi: Two babies?!
He looked left.
He looked right.
Father Orsi: Where are your parents?!
Silence.
Father Orsi: ...Of course. They're babies. Why am I asking them?
He picked up the first baby.
Immediately, a beautiful golden aura surrounded the child.
Father Orsi: Ohhh...
The baby looked incredibly peaceful.
Father Orsi: This child has an angel-like aura.
Father Orsi: Maybe he'll become a great mage!
The baby smiled.
Father Orsi: Aww. How adorable.
Then Father Orsi picked up the second baby.
BOOM.
Every candle in the church went out.
Father Orsi: ...Oh.
Dark energy spread across the floor.
Father Orsi: OH.
The baby stared at him with completely innocent eyes.
Father Orsi: Why does this one feel like he's about to collect taxes from me?!
Behind Asta, a faint black aura shaped like a crown appeared.
Father Orsi: A King?!
The baby sneezed.
Asta: Achoo!
The dark aura vanished.
Father Orsi: Confirm a devil king ..Never mind.
Father Orsi sighed and carried both babies inside.
Father Orsi: Fine. You two can stay.
He placed them beside each other.
Yuno immediately grabbed Asta's blanket.
Father Orsi: Hey!
Asta grabbed Yuno's blanket.
Father Orsi: Hey! That's not sharing!
The babies stared at each other.
Father Orsi: Wonderful. They've been here thirty seconds and they're already fighting.
Father Orsi rubbed his forehead.
Father Orsi: I'll name you first.
He pointed at the peaceful baby.
Father Orsi: You look like a little angel.
Father Orsi: Yuno.
Yuno blinked.
Father Orsi: And you...
Asta grabbed his finger.
Father Orsi: Ow!
Father Orsi stared at him.
Father Orsi: Strong grip.
Father Orsi: Asta.
Asta giggled.
Father Orsi: Asta and Yuno.
Suddenly, a mysterious red thread appeared around Asta's tiny finger.
Father Orsi: ...What?
The thread stretched across the room and wrapped around Yuno's finger.
Father Orsi: A red string?!
He stared at it.
Father Orsi: The legendary thread of fate?!
The thread glowed brightly.
Father Orsi: This means you two are destined to each other
Silence.
Father Orsi: ...
Father Orsi: I'm going back to bed.
He walked away.
Father Orsi: Tomorrow, I'm hiring a Nun tontake care of you both .
Behind him, Asta and Yuno stared at each other.
Then both babies started laughing.
Father Orsi: ...I heard that.
The two babies laughed even harder.
Father Orsi: I'm already regretting this.
