03x35 - Charmy's Century of Hunger, Gordon's Millennium of Loneliness

[bunniefuu]

In Clover Kingdom

where magic determines everything,

the only boy who cannot use magic

is called Asta.

With hard work and determination,
he joins the Magic Knights.

Despite being wounded and bruised,
he is still determined

to keep fighting towards his goal
with all his might.

Peasants or nobles,

poor or rich,

anyone in this world can shine.

He's working hard to prove that

and to become the Magic Emperor.

Black Bull travels to Raque

to commence special training.

While they were there, Asta and Noelle

reunited with Kahono and Kiato.

However, unusual changes
occurred on the seabed.

A sea creature
known as Master Nushi went mad

and even the Seabed Temple
fell victim to the havoc.

Noelle and the others rush
to the seafloor to pacify Master Nushi.

Mother, watch over me.

I'll become stronger.

However, Noelle is not the only one
who is determined to become stronger!

So this is…

The food that will give us
an expl*sive surge of magic power!

So we just have to eat it
to get that effect?

Then I'll dig in.

You don't have magic to begin with.
Eating it won't change anything.

Maybe it'll increase my Anti Magic!

-Let's eat!
-Let's eat!

Amazing! I can feel it instantly!

It seems as if magic power
is continuously emerging in my body!

What is this?

My body is moving on its own!

This is fun!

You two!

What is going on?

It's happening to her too!

Charmy, please help out!

No, this food isn't good enough.

-Everyone, stop!
-Right!

I'll go to that person!

MAGIC KNIGHTS' HEADQUARTERS

JAMO

You want to become my apprentice?

Her fervent, blazing eyes.

Her fervent, glistening drool.

On top of that,

her fervent, dazzling forehead!

Just like always,

she is really something else!

Okay, I understand!

Little one, starting today,
you are my apprentice!

Thank you, Master!

Food that increases magic power?

If it is simply food
that replenishes magic power,

my magic can already make that.

But the food I need to make now

must give my teammates
an expl*sive increase in magic power!

I see.

That is no easy task.

Little one, are you ready?

Ready!

!

!

- , , …
-Sheep Cooks are your magic.

Even so, leveling up your magic
won't give you what you need.

-Seal your magic.
- .

-Push your body to its limit.
- .

-That will allow you and your Sheep Cooks
- , …

to truly learn how to make food
that increases magic power!

!

, !

The strength training stage is over.

According to this book,

the next stage is to acquire

three unknown ingredients
that not even I have seen before!

"Three unknown ingredients"?

First is the bulb
of the mentanpin mandrake!

Got it!

Second is the scales
of the nobody-knows-it-fossilized fish!

Third is the hide of Bigfoot's butt!

What did you say?

The little one?

You pushed yourself too hard!

Master, I have…

completed the task…

Tonight, I, Charmy Pappitson,

can serve everyone

my once-in-a-lifetime
magic-enhancing dishes…

So these are the real
magic-enhancing dishes!

Why was I called here too?

We will need you in case anything happens.

What could go wrong with eating?

Charmy is taking this very seriously!

Eat!

I'll pass.

I think I will too.

Me too then.

Please eat them!

Charmy worked so hard on this!

I beg of you!

These dishes were made by the little…

By Charmy for her comrades.

She risked her life to get the ingredients
to make these for you!

Who are you?

Master! Asta!

I guess we have no choice.

Don't tell me it's…

Come on! What is this?

Watch out, everyone!

Spatial Magic, Fallen Angel Gate!

That hurts!

What are you all doing?

Captain Yami?

Are you guys using my errand boy
to sneak out so late?

Yami, now is not the time for that!

What is that?

It's a demon cuisine!

Demon cuisine?

You just made that up, didn't you?

Don't make things up, assh*le!

Who is that guy?

It's the first time I have seen this.

She must have infused it
with intense desire and magic,

giving the food life of its own!

No such thing!

How else would you explain
this thing then?

Charmy infused the food
with an intent to enhance magic!

This is a manifestation of that sincerity,

and thus, the food itself
has an expl*sive magic power!

I gave life to the food?

Charmy, what's wrong?

What's happening?

Magna?

For some reason,
I don't have any strength.

Luck!

My magic is being sucked away.

What the heck is going on?

Demon cuisine
is sucking away our magic power

in order to increase its own power!

So who are you?

My special cuisine…

Hey, Little Brat.

Why are you just standing there?

If you use your sword,

you should be able to get rid
of that huge food monster, right?

But…

Fine.

Make it a two-for-one deal.

I'll do it myself--

No!

Why not?

The food is filled with Charmy's love!

Yes, it's food!

What are you talking about?

Asta!

Please get rid of it!

Okay!

Don't tell me you…

I'll eat up all of Charmy's food!

Don't come to me if you get a stomachache!

My magic is slowly coming back.

Is magic leaking out
from the part that Little Brat ate?

I can't let Asta eat alone!

We can't let those two do all the work.

You are right.

Now that that's settled,
this shouldn't take too long.

Go and eat up that huge food monster!

What? Me too?

I'm not doing that!

Right.

Who the hell are you?

Great job, guys.

It's a hellish sight.

-Charmy.
-Yes?

That food tasted different
from your usual dishes.

What?

I don't know how to explain it.

It felt like the sole goal
was to increase magic power.

Your desire to make the people
eating your food happy

is usually in your food,
but this seems to be missing that.

Sorry! I don't know what I'm saying!

Master!

Perhaps we have forgotten
our most important goal as a cook.

Charmy.

No, little one, let's start over again!

Yes, Master!

Again!

Again!

Every day, I am surrounded
by many close friends.

This is perhaps
the happiest time of my life.

We must win the battle against the devil.

Or these wonderful days
will come to an end.

That one felt great, didn't it?

Asta.

Can I join in on your training?

Of course!

-Noelle, why don't you take a break?
-Okay.

Please hit me with all your power!

All my power?

I don't really want to,

but it should be fine if it's Asta.

Here I go.

Poison Curse Magic,

Dwelling of the Poison Cloud.

Gordon, are you okay?

You are strong.

I'm no match for you.

I gave it everything I had.

Perhaps I have grown weak.

When I first came to Black Bull,
I was very lonely.

However, I was sharp as a blade

with a strength that
kept others at a distance.

In contrast, the person I am now…

PLEASE DON'T TRY TO FIND ME.
GORDON

I cannot stay
in my comfort zone called friends.

This is to defeat the devil

and for the purpose of finding
the strength I had back then.

I must once again return to solitude.

FOREST OF POISONOUS DEMON BEASTS

I heard that Captain Mereoleona
once roamed the Grand Magic Zone alone

and gained the powerful
strength she has now.

That's why I came here,

the Forest of Poisonous Demon Beasts
that lies before the Witches' Forest.

The Grand Magic Zone

is a bit scary.

So I'll just give this forest
right before it a try.

Things seem to be going well.

This must be
the result of being in solitude.

Okay, I'll take a rest for a bit.

Plus, I'm hungry.

What?

That's a whole week's worth of food!

Wait!

DAYS LATER

I couldn't get my bag back.

I guess I should head back.

I have experienced
enough loneliness already.

Wait.

I don't know the way back.

Eating alone is awful.

Meals with everyone else

are quite noisy, but so much fun.

If my friends were here
at a time like this…

Gordon, I brought back
a lot of delicious food!

Gordon, cheer up.

Gau of Gau-Go-Buddies is here with you.

Gordon, are you tired?

You've got more in you than that!

I'm sick of b*ating Magna.

Gordon, you are next!

What am I doing?

This is my chance to test out the strength
I have regained from being alone!

Poison Curse Magic,

Dwelling of the Poison Cloud.

Again!

Why?

Poison Curse Magic was ineffective!

I have indeed gotten weak!

Thank goodness.

My first sip of water in three days.

I'll stay here alone for a while.

Foraging for food alone.

Sleeping alone.

Washing my face alone.

I remember Asta and I washing
each other's backs at the Black Bull base.

I also drank and chatted
with Vanessa all night long.

I helped Gauche clean his Marie doll.

I have even risked my life
dueling with Luck.

I must become stronger.

But being alone is so difficult.

Even though this was normal for me

before joining the Black Bull.

I wonder what everyone else is doing.

This is…

We have to hurry!

Okay, let's head out right away!

-Yes!
-Yes!

Are they frantically searching for me?

Are they here already?

Is this the parent
of that demon beast earlier?

This is…

We have to hurry!

Okay, let's head out right away!

-Yes!
-Yes!

Poison Curse Magic,

Aufwachen Dachs!

This is bad. My magic doesn't work on it.

I'm doomed.

I'm going to die here alone.

I get it now.

They haven't abandoned me.

I finally understand.

What I need is not solitude.

It was because of my friends
that I have become stronger.

You could say this loneliness
is a poison of sorts

and the antidote for this poison

is my friendship with everyone!

I'm sorry.

It was a moment of desperation,

but I still hurt
innocent creatures like you.

As a Magic Knight
who protects this kingdom,

this is unacceptable behavior

because you are also a comrade
who lives in the Clover Kingdom.

No.

You are my friend.

Thank you for showing me the way.

So you are resistant to Poison Magic!

Is that why my magic didn't work on you?

I'm back.

Everyone must be out searching for me.

They might have run into danger somewhere.

Now it's my turn to find them.

I won't ever leave my friends again!

-This is good!
-So tasty!

Listen up, you guys!

Eat until you have surpassed your limits!

I already have!

Yami, the staff here are staring at us.

Who cares?

They're doing an inventory count
and selling off all their ingredients.

-"Everything is % off."
-I can eat more!

It says so here!

PLEASE DON'T TRY TO FIND ME.
GORDON

I won't lose!

No matter how much food there is,

I will eat it all!

I'll stake my stomach on it!

Who is Zara?

What? Is that Zora's dad?
