This flight didn't take much time, and the three of them soon arrived at the city street.
However, even after leaving the Black Bulls Headquarters, familiar figures would occasionally appear before them...
"Isn't that Gauche, riding a broom with a nosebleed!"
Noelle looked in surprise at Gauche, whose hands were full of new clothes. No wonder this gentleman was nowhere to be seen so early in the morning; he had gone to buy clothes for his sister. "But why is he having a nosebleed!"
"This gentleman must be missing his sister terribly."
Vanessa said, as if it were perfectly normal.
"That really is an extreme case..."
Asta couldn't help but sigh. However, if his sister looked like Noelle, he believed he would become very 'gentlemanly' too...
"Look! It's Charmy!"
Noelle pointed at the sneaky Charmy.
"Looks like she's off to feast again."
Vanessa remarked.
"I think we'd better leave here quickly."
Asta suddenly spoke, because he saw Finral, wearing his Black Bulls uniform, trying to pick up a beautiful woman who was with her family along the street, only to be miserably rejected...
"Uh, let's go, let's go!"
Both Vanessa and Noelle hoped that Finral wouldn't see them at this moment, and even if he did, they absolutely didn't want him to say hello, because they couldn't afford to be seen with him...
"Do you two have any shopping plans?"
Vanessa asked as she walked away quickly.
"None at all!"
Asta and Noelle said in unison. Primarily, since everything Asta needed was in the naruto mall, he didn't want to buy anything, and Noelle rarely visited the commoner streets, so she didn't have a goal either.
"Then we'll buy some essential herbs first, and then find a quiet place to browse."
Vanessa quickly formulated a plan. After purchasing the Stamina Recovery Herbs and Detoxification Ointments needed for the trip, Vanessa mysteriously led Asta and Noelle into a small alley.
"This is a very interesting place. Although it's a bit dangerous, you can buy many effective Magic Items. As members of the Magic Knight Squad, it's very necessary for you to know about this place."
Vanessa pointed proudly at a dilapidated wall. Whenever a newcomer learned that there was a whole other world behind it, they always showed a look of surprise.
"But there's no road here."
Noelle asked in confusion.
"To think they remodeled the entrance into a wall; whoever developed this market is quite creative."
Asta's face lit up with anticipation. His eyes had shifted from amber to deep red. After activating his Single Tomoe Sharingan, although he couldn't directly see through the mystery behind the wall, he could vaguely perceive a layer of magic circle covering it. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be spatial transfer magic.
"You could actually tell?"
This time, it was Vanessa's turn to be astonished. She hadn't expected Asta, who possessed no magic power, to have such keen perception of magic, enough to discern the secret of the black market entrance on his very first visit.
"What? The entrance is actually behind the wall?"
Noelle was slightly surprised, but after seeing Asta and Vanessa go in one after another, she hurriedly followed. However, when approaching the wall, Noelle was always worried about bumping her head. Yet, when her body touched the wall surface, a suction force pulled her and sent her inside.
"How magical, though it's a bit dirty..."
Noelle frowned slightly as she looked at the environment inside.
"You royals really don't like coming here, but there are many things here that help control magic power."
Vanessa said, grabbing Noelle's hand and walking toward a stall, which sold many magical accessories shaped like jewelry.
"So tacky..."
Noelle couldn't help but remark.
"Just try it out! This has the effect of stabilizing magic power. Wearing it should reduce the phenomenon of magic power running wild."
Vanessa pointed to a golden clavicle chain and said.
"Magic power running wild?"
Noelle subconsciously looked at Asta. By this time, Asta had already walked off elsewhere, but her earlobes uncontrollably turned red because she remembered what Asta had said... No matter when, if I encounter danger, will he really stand up for me?
"Snap out of it, Little Noelle. Keep staring at Asta like that, and be careful he notices!"
Vanessa teased.
"What! What! Don't just say random things..."
Noelle blushed instantly. Finally, as if to cover up her embarrassment, she hurriedly put on the clavicle chain. She felt that this chain did indeed have a stabilizing effect on her magic power, but because the style was too tacky, she still wasn't interested in buying it.
"Since you don't like this design, let's look at something else."
Vanessa patiently picked through items with Noelle. At this moment, a panicked man in a gray robe suddenly darted past them.
"Catch him quickly! That's the old woman's loot!"
An old woman walking with a staggering gait shouted anxiously in the distance.
"He really is panicking and choosing the wrong path, actually running toward me."
Asta, who was buying a magic wand, turned sharply and grabbed the gray-robed man's shoulder, then instantly subdued him with a clean and swift shoulder throw.
"Thank you so much! Thank you for helping me retrieve my loot!"
The old woman gratefully came before Asta.
"Be careful next time, old lady. Carrying money so openly in your hands like that, even a strong young person would get robbed!"
Asta cautioned, then returned the package to the old lady. But the moment he leaned over, his red Sharingan flickered imperceptibly. What powerful magic power!
Asta looked at the old person before him in disbelief. Although it was only for an instant, he clearly felt how powerful the magic leaking from this old woman was. The shock was like accidentally glimpsing a giant dragon from a small stream!
"What's wrong, young man?"
The old woman asked with concern.
"Uh, nothing, just feeling amazed at your luck, old lady, to have acquired so much loot."
Asta said with a smile, then turned without hesitation to Noelle and Vanessa's side. "Should we head back now?"
