After a flash of aqua-blue aurora, Noelle finally cast her brand new magic—Sea Dragons Cradle!
A huge spherical water barrier appeared before the moonlit beach. That abundant Water Magic made everyone around feel moved!
"Is this Noelle's new magic?" After Luck came out of the villa, he was completely stunned and couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of royalty!"
"Finally, these two little ones succeeded!" Vanessa watched this scene unsteadily while holding a wine bottle, and then the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.
"Ah-re-re, to celebrate Noelle's success, I've decided to create some new delicacies to celebrate!" Charmy's expression became serious in an instant.
"Great, Asta, I succeeded!" Noelle hugged Asta excitedly, then caught sight of Yami looking relieved and quickly shouted, "Captain, I did it!"
"Hmm, I saw it. Well done!" Yami puffed out a smoke ring. As expected, his judgment had never been wrong.
"Waaaah, Captain, I told you to bet small, but you insisted on betting big. This time we lost everything down to our underwear!" Magna cried bitter tears; that was his entire month's salary!
"Marie, we can finally go into the sea. Wait for your brother's good news; your brother will be back soon!" Gauche excitedly took out paper and pen and began to write a letter frantically.
"Whoosh..." Grey was very happy but just didn't speak, only increasing the amount of exhaled air to show that she was happy. Beside her, Gordon was also muttering celebrations, but no one could hear what he was saying.
"Charmy, hurry up and make the food. I want to eat too. Also, Noelle and Asta's relationship is really getting better and better. I remember when they first met, it wasn't pleasant. During the argument, they seemed to have knocked Captain Yami down while he was in the bathroom on the second floor. I still remember the Captain's embarrassed expression as he held up his pants, looking like he wanted to eat everyone. Thinking about it now, it really feels like it happened yesterday. I hope everyone can always be this wonderful!" After Gordon said a long string of words, he found that Charmy had already had the sheep set up the grill.
"Yo-ho! Beer and barbecue are the best match for a celebration!" Charmy danced with joy.
"Noelle, Asta, since your squad is preparing to celebrate, I should be going!" Kahono said goodbye.
"Don't go, Kahono. Stay and celebrate with us. The food made by Charmy's Magic Sheep is very delicious!" Noelle invited.
"Delicacies from the surface?" Kahono licked the corner of her mouth, clearly tempted, but still said shyly, "Would it be bad for an outsider like me to stay here?"
"Don't worry, everyone in the squad is very hospitable!" Asta laughed.
"Yeah, yeah!" Just as Noelle finished speaking, Yami punched Magna away.
"Didn't I tell you not to keep muttering in my ear!" Yami gritted his teeth. He was also very regretful about losing just now, but don't keep saying it in his ear; it would make him feel like his gambling skills were very poor, okay!
"Hiss..." Gordon immediately shut his mouth, though he didn't really need to since no one could hear him speak anyway!
"Is this being 'very friendly'?" Kahono was shocked.
"Haha, that was an accident!" Noelle said quickly.
"The Captain is very fierce, but he won't do anything to girls." Asta also laughed.
"Alright then, I'll stay!" Kahono licked her lips. Thinking that she could stay here to eat skewers and also see what magic attributes the Black Bulls members had, it was simply a huge profit!
This celebration lasted until midnight before everyone reluctantly dispersed.
"Asta, Noelle, you guys can stop here. Grandpa doesn't like to see me associating with strangers!" Kahono looked at the two people beside her and smiled.
"Alright then, be careful on the road!" Asta nodded.
"What a strange-tempered grandpa." Noelle complained slightly.
"Can't be helped, old people are quite old-fashioned!" Kahono curled her lip.
"Bye-bye!" After Asta said goodbye, he took Noelle's small hand and walked back.
"Why are you holding my hand?" At this moment, Noelle's heart was fluttering, and her little head had already begun to wander. "Ahhh, now that the night is dark and the wind is high, and there are only the two of us on the beach, does this count as a date?!"
"Eh? I didn't think much of it, I just felt that under such a beautiful moonlight, walking hand in hand would be more romantic!" Asta laughed...
"That seems to be true~" Noelle blinked. It indeed felt more romantic. If she could, she hoped to keep walking with Asta like this!
"Haha, this Little Girl is too easy to coax!" Asta felt the slightly cool touch from his palm. A girl's hand really felt like Mutton-fat jade when held!
However, soon, the two returned to the temporary base.
"Yo, what do I see? Noelle and Asta are actually holding hands?!" Magna went out to pee and didn't expect to see this eye-opening scene. "The Princess is actually dating a Commoner?"
"Eek!" Noelle shyly pulled her hand away, and then a powerful water ball directly knocked Magna away.
"Damn it, what did I do wrong?" Magna summoned his crimson lancer majesty annihilator with tears in his eyes.
"Magna's skill at summoning his broom is getting more and more proficient!" Asta laughed.
"Why! Why won't you give me a Princess!" Magna cried while sitting on the annihilator.
"That's for being a blabbermouth. Let's go!" Noelle proudly took Asta's hand and didn't reluctantly let go until they entered the villa door. When they parted, she didn't forget to remind him, "Stupid Asta, don't you dare overthink it. I only let you hold my hand because the moonlight was too beautiful!"
"Of course, I definitely won't overthink it!" Asta had gotten the benefit, so naturally, he wouldn't tease Noelle anymore. Otherwise, if he angered the girl, there would be no more benefits to be had in the future!
"Asta, what do you think will be in the Underwater Temple?" Before leaving, Noelle was still a bit worried about the unknown temple. After all, it was at the bottom of the sea. If something happened, no one would be able to hear them.
"Don't worry, don't forget Finral. This guy has the ability to teleport us away instantly. The reason we aren't letting him teleport us for this mission is because he has never been to the Underwater Temple, so he can't teleport us there, but teleporting us out is more than enough!" Asta saw that Noelle was very anxious and quickly comforted her.
