"The Devil-Binding Ritual" 「従魔の儀 Jūma no Gi」 is the 27th volume of Yūki Tabata's Black Clover.
Summary
"Asta will need to get much more powerful if he ever hopes to defeat the demonic leaders of the Spade Kingdom. Things look bleak, but then a mysterious mage named Nacht appears—and he knows a few things about harnessing a devil's power. Does Asta have what it takes to learn how to control his devil power and rescue Captain Yami?"
Author's Note
"This happened in the summer, but when we were taking a family walk through the neighborhood, we came across a goldfish shop. While the boy next to us ripped his paper scoop right away, through some mysterious power my wife scooped up goldfish like crazy, getting all flustered as she completely filled her bowl with them. We had so much fun that we impulse-bought goldfish, and now there's even more life at my house."
