When Lucius used his Soul magic to transform Sister Lily into one of his evil Paladins, fans took notice that her attempt to kill Asta instead transported him to Yami's home country of Hino. At first, there was very little linking Sister Lily to Asta's unexpected teleportation until Asta saw a vender selling nomotatoes, a crop many fans and even Asta believed to be native to only Hage. Sister Lily had been known up until that point to having cooked or helped prepare Asta's favorite dishes of nomotatoes growing up, and since Sister Lily's past was still relatively unknown at the time (and still is), fans wondered if she could have originally come from Hino and brought nomotatoes with her to Hage to start a new life.

With this mystery still nowhere close to being answered, readers must instead deal with Asta having to fight against the woman he loves. Luckily, he has the Ryuzen Seven there to help him in .
