Asta and company were currently enjoying the quiet life, or as quiet as a king and his subordinates could anyways. Asta had had it rough with his girls once he'd told them about what had happened to him. But they soon moved past it and grew to appreciate and love him even more after hearing how he'd waited to see them again for over a hundred years.

Soon after Asta and Fluttershy's daughter was born. Aurora Starfall. She was indeed born an earth pony much to Asta's relief. She had his green eyes but her mother's pink hair. Oddly enough the foal was born with no tail making her more human than a pony. tough she still had a few more of the more equine features like a slightly longer face and pointed ears like her mother. Twilight performed a scan on the filly and they weren't surprised when she'd didn't have magic, though they were still happy to have her in their lives.

The entire kingdom celebrated the new princess's birth not long after.

Speaking of the kingdom. It had never been more livid than even when the founding festival had started. Thanks to the victory over the invading Caribou army they had even more citizens than before. With the death of the commanding Count and Ichimonji, the Black Clover Kingdom's Territory hand effectively tripled in size overnight thanks to the count having three smaller territories under his control. Asta wasted no time and sent those he knew could clean up the cities into them.

Aj had gone back to Ponyville in order to spend time with her family. The Apples were overjoyed to see her ring but also those she had brought back with her. The reason why their family hated the Caribou, her ma and pa. The wife and husband weren't dead but had been enslaved in one of the cities Asat received from the battle. Aj's parents were grateful to the king and even more so to find out he was the one making Aj happy. Aj needed her time to adjust so Asta sent her home for a while to be with her granny and siblings while they adjusted to having her parents back in her life. She’d decided to stay in Canterlot and take lessons from Celestia and Luna to better control her more basic abilities.

Twilight was another story. Asta found that her powers had only grown so he did what he could and helped her train. He was no god but he had fought the original holder of these powers so he helped Twilight get better acquainted with them. It was also clear that her power wasn't the only things growing as her body had become more developed too, she and the girls caught him staring from time to time and often teased him about it. When they were in Canterlot for a lunch with Twilight's parents, some pony hit on her, he nearly put them in a coma. Twilight's parents approved the action with no qualms.

Rainbow Dash had been distant. Even Spike had been having a hard time with his marefriend as of late due to the incident with Gilda. Dash made her regular reports on Gilad but with disdain that only worsened each time. Asta decided to give them both some much-needed downtime in the form of Clousdale and Ponyville. Asta handled Gilda's imprisonment personally and came to admire the young hen's devotion to her family but still kept his distance from her.

Pinkie Pie was being Pinkie Pie, enough said with all the new arrivals to the city and the new additions to the kingdom's territories. She had plenty to do with the reformations and parties. She was actually planning another festival.

Rarity was helping out by giving sewing lessons and handing out clothes in one of the other cities.

The Shinigami had decided to help out around the city in her spare time. Which was actually most of the time. Asta was firm about them not coming into his city unless they had good enough reason outside a hollow attack or to report anything to Kisuke. They were currently held up in a house that Asta provided for them through any amenities were made, earned, or bought by themselves. Toshiro found this acceptable and promised they wouldn't make trouble for the king.

The demon slayers decided to stick around but Asta sent them to the other cities in pairs in order to help the Knights he'd dispatched. The Slayers didn't argue with their master and rarely ever questioned him. He kept Shinobu in Waillen to help with Ymir's treatment and rehabilitation.

The dragoness wouldn't be flying for a while and Asta was very upset that he let her wing get blown off. The young dragon told him it wasn't his fault, though that didn't stop him from thinking it. Her current has left Asta in a severally weakened state as well as he can't use his ancient or even his Wquestrain Magic nearly at all.

Ichigo was the only exception to the shinigami but for good reason, Asta considered him family and knew he could trust his old friend. Ichigo had stepped into his role as a big brother rather well. Yuzu and Karin were over the mountain when they first met Ichigo. He has been staying with the Kurosaki household since arriving in the city.

The teens were returned to Cantorlot for the time being. Asta was in the process of having Inoue and Chad's education switched to Waillen as they'd both expressed a great interest in the city and helping in the coming fight against Aizen. With no other way to have them come here, they needed a guard, thus the princesses appointed Atsa the role. Uryu decide to speak he wanted in as well in order to train under Masaki more, thus the Kurosaki family took in the Qunicy.

Asta's look had changed slightly with his hair having been cut during his battle with Ichimonji while also gaining a number of new scars. His face changed to in the last one hundred plus years having lost his baby and become much broader. He went ahead and had Rarity clean it up as to even it out a bit more. His hair now resembles his original look but is shaggier. He still preferred to wear his shihakusho or kimono over normal pants and shirts.

Currently, Asta was training in the Training Hall's courtyard. He was training with Ichigo while Fluttershy and their daughter watched from the shade of the Ironwood Tree with Yuzu and Karin. He was wearing an old loose-fitted kimono and using a normal katana.

Ichigo had been outfitted with a brand new gigai thanks to Urahara. This one allowed him better access to his augmented skills as a Shinigami while also letting the living world see them. He was also given a Substitute Shinigami badge by Kisuke, without the limiter of course, to allow him to quickly ditch the gigai. The pass also doubles as a quick transforming zanpakuto, though nowhere near the size of his actual zanpakuto. Asta also taught his brother how to access and use Fullbring powers.

"Come on Asta I thought you were better than that!" Ichigo smirks as he and Asta locked blades.

"Oh yea," Asta smiles back, "I may have taught you a few things but nowhere near everything!"

"How did this all start again Ms. Fluttershy?" Yuzu ponders.

"A sandwich," Fluttershy says with a sigh while Aurora claps. "All over who can make a better sandwich Dear," She picks up her daughter and holds her up, "You are definitely our father's daughter, enjoying a fight and you are not even old enough to walk yet," she cues.

"Yea give it to Ichi-nii," Karin yells out. "Show him who's boss!"

"You've gotten better at control," Asta notes as they break apart and land.

"Yea, well I do practice," Ichigo emphasizes.

"I think that's enough for today," Asta relaxes. "You can have this one bro. I'll see you later."

"Later bubba," Ichigo says and looks over. "Come on girls time to go home."

"Awwwwww....." the twins pout.

"You can both come by the palaces and see Aurora anytime you want girls," Fluttershy says as Asat takes their daughter. "It's getting late and you should listen to your brother."

"She's right Karin," Yuzu agrees. "Besides, you said you teach the neighborhood kids how to play soccer."

"Fine," Karin pouts more crossing her arms.

Asta was sitting on his balcony relaxing when he heard the call, the call of displaced… “Hey, this is a call for help. I need a bit more backup for a mission and I got this token from Edward, so I know I can trust whoever you are.”

“Shy,” Asta calls out, “I’ve got a summon I’ll see ya later,” he sighs standing up as a portal opens.

“Be careful,” Fluttershy calls out.

“Will do,” Asta replies walking into the portal.
