The Black Bulls stepped out onto long green grass blowing in the breeze. Asta stared from the grassy wasteland at the lake and cabin that lay just about 20 feet ahead of them.
"What is this place?!" Asta looked wide eyed at his surroundings. There was so much to take in but such little time. The lake had a nice beach with a volleyball net set up as well as some canoes for anyone wanting to venture out onto the water. There were sets of rolling hills running all around the lake, making for a great hiking trail. Asta couldn't stop thinking about how great the weather was here, just perfect for swimming. There were so many things to do here! "AAAAAAH" Asta yelled "I'm getting pumped!"
"Quiet down!" Yami smacked Asta on the head "We just got here and you're already being too loud."
"Here we are!" Finral exclaimed as he closed the portal off. "Make sure you don't let anyone know you're here okay guys? If my family finds out I let you come here then it won't be good."
"Don't worry Finral! Your secret is safe with us." Asta reassured him as he rubbed the new bump on his head.
"What are we doing standing around out here? Let's check it out!" Magna encouraged the squad, as he was clearly getting impatient standing outside. Everyone walked up the steps to the cabin and opened the door to what looked like a mansion.
"What is this?!" Asta and Vanessa asked at the same time, surprised by the size of the place.
"Well.." Finral nervously chuckled "I am originally from a noble family so…" He drifted off as he spoke.
"Haha you really outdid yourself this time!" Yami belted out a laugh as he pat Finral on the back.
"Haha… ow." Finral mumbled. "Before everyone starts exploring I want to give out the room assignments! This place may be big, but not big enough for everyone to have their own room." They all gathered around waiting for Finral to update them on where they were sleeping.
"Charmy and Vanessa, you two are together. Luck and Magna. Gauche and Gordon. Grey and Yami. Asta and Yours truly. Lastly, Noelle will have her own room, unless you'd rather try and squeeze in with Charmy and Vanessa?"
"Are you kidding?! As royalty, I should have my own room." Noelle turned away and crossed her arms.
"Great! Then everyone's happy with their room assignments." Finral smiled. He seemed happy with how he placed everyone. Asta was a little sad that he wasn't rooming with Yami, but he couldn't exactly put his finger on why. He couldn't exactly ask Finral to switch, that would be rude considering Finral is the entire reason they have somewhere to be right now. Asta decided not to sulk on it any longer and went to go put his bags away in his room.
After unpacking everything, Asta bolted out of the hallway to get started with his vacation but noticed Grey walking into the room down the hall from theirs.
'So that must be Grey and Yami's room huh?' Asta thought to himself. The only two rooms in this hallway, for that matter, on this side of the house, and it only had the four of them. Asta shook his head to get the thought out of his head. It's time to focus on relaxing and spending time with his squad mates!
