Chapter 37: Next Time We Meet
[The Wizard King concluded that the attack on the Royal Capital had been the work of anti-Clover Kingdom terrorists.]
After the promise was made and the new rivalry/brotherhood ignited, a multitude of things followed. The Clover Kingdom began its repairs to the Royal Capital, Julius had gave a speech about the invasion and promised his people he would fight to protect them, the reason that the kingdom had been invaded was revealed that the mages in charge of the barrier had disappeared, and everything had calmed down a bit.
[He declared his intent to continue resolutely opposing them, and the masses were fully supportive. The enemy's invasion was enable by the disappearance of some of the mages who maintained the capital's Magic Barrier. Had the enemy done away with them, or had they defected? This fact was not made public, but the Wizard King was sure of it.]
Julius was in his office inside the Clover Kingdom castle looking out his window with a troubled look on his face as he turned his head to the right.
'I don't want to believe it, but there's a traitor among the mages in the Royal Capital.' Julius says not wanting to believe the possibility even though it was very clear.
It was now a new day in the Clover Kingdom and currently in the dungeon Interrogation Room, Julius, Marx, and at least fifteen mages were surrounding the captured George and Catherine, trying to get information out of them.
"It's no use. There's some king of protection on them, and I can't search for information." Marx informs Julius until they hear Catherine chuckle as they turn to her.
"Even if there wasn't, we'd never talk. Our master is the light in the darkness! He's our god!" Catherine shouts shocking Marx and the other mages minus Julius.
"He's the only one who has abandoned us." George begins speaking gaining their attention. "We will never betray him." He says leaving Julius and Marx with questionable looks on their faces.
Later after leaving the dungeon Interrogation Room, both Julius and Marx were making their way back to his office.
"Apparently, their master has some absolute unifying force and fearsome magical power. I'm assuming the one who defeated Captain Fuegoleon is also their master." Marx says.
"Indeed. Too bad he can't remember anything, we could've learned something. Not even your Memory Magic will be of any use. We'll just have to hope that his memories return on their own in time." Julius says.
Meanwhile inside a cave of an unknown location, Rades was blasting pillars of rock with Magic Bullets in pure rage.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all to hell!" Rades screams in anger as he huffs heavily. "They hurt. They hurt…my wounds hurt!" He yells clutching the scar on his right cheek. "That stupid little brat Asta…I'm going to kill him, no matter what! I'm going to gather the ultimate army of the dead!" He shouts.
"That Anti-Magic/Dragon Slayer kid, Asta…" Sally begins to say appearing from behind a pillar. "You can't kill him, Rades. I want to tinker with him while he's still alive." She says.
"What?" Rades asks in confusion.
"Not to mention, I already treated your wounds, so there's no way they'd still be hurting." Sally says.
"Shut up! They still ache! I saw that brat first! Hands off, Sally!" Rades shouts.
"Can't hear you, can't hear you, can't hear you!" Sally says covering her ears with her cloaked hands. "I hope I see you again soon, Asta!" She says walking away and into her laboratory. "For the next time I see you, Asta…I'll use the little samples I got while you were in the gel, and research and research!" She says in a sing-song voice.
In the same unknown location but in another area, Valtos was kneeling before the Light Magic user who managed to escape Julius.
"I couldn't save George and Catherine." The mystery man says holding Fuegoleon's stolen pendant in his left hand.
"Those two have big egos, but they worship you. They won't give them any information on us." Valtos says to the man as he pockets the pendant.
"That's not what I'm worried about. As long as they're still alive, I will save them, no matter what." The man says as he rolls up his right sleeve to reveal a withered arm which included his hand. "I thought I had dodged it, but I seem to have take a little of the attack." He says thinking back to when he encountered Julius and Asta. "Magic that accelerates time…and drastically. The Wizard King…as expected, he had phenomenal power. However, those Magic Knights, those…Lost Magic users…they're magic is unbelievably strong." He says thinking back to his fight with Fuegoleon as he rolled up his left sleeve to reveal a huge burn scar and then walks forward towards a ledge. "But we will build up our strength and defeat both them and the Wizard King." He says looking at the large group of hood Eye of the Midnight Sun members below him. "In order to get our revenge and establish a new country that will be ours alone." He says.
Meanwhile Asta and Noelle were meeting with the same little girl in a yellow dress that they had protected from Rades during the invasion, only now Noelle had bought a brand-new outfit that showed a little less skin but still a decent amount and shows off more of her cleavage because she now wears her Black Bulls squad robe just like Vanessa wears hers while also wearing her hair in a high ponytail.
"Mister and Miss Magic Knight, thank you for saving me!" The young girl says with Nero sitting on her head once again.
"No problem. It's what we do." Asta says as he gave a thumbs up to the girl.
"Indeed, we are Magic Knight after all. Plus I just did the obvious thing." Noelle says as she looked away, blushing at the compliment.
"Either way, as a token of my appreciation, this is to thank you." The girl say as she held up a basket of cupcakes. "I made them myself from scratch." She says.
Asta took the basket and looked closely at the pastries, admiring their appearance and wanting to try them.
"These look great!" Asta says complimenting the girl.
"Thank you so much for saving me. Bye, now! I'll see you later." The girl says giving them a smile and a bow as she left Asta and Noelle with Nero flying off her head and back to Asta's right shoulder.
The two Magic Knight watched with smiles as the girl went back to her family but didn't notice a small hand reach for the basket and yank it out of Asta's hands until the person made a sound.
"Yummy cupcakes!" Charmy says as she took the basket and placed it on the ground before taking one and eating it. "So good!" She sings.
"Why…?" Noelle begins to ask as the food loving Black Bull appeared out of nowhere.
"…are you here, Charmy?" Asta asks wanting to know why she was here and eating HIS and NOELLE'S reward cupcakes.
The little Black Bull turned around and put her fists on her hips before giving her reply with a mouth covered in cupcake.
"Where the nummy things are, there I shall be!" Charmy says before reaching into the basket. "More importantly, have a bite." She says thinking that they were originally hers when they were not as she quickly turned back towards around and brought out two cupcakes to give to Asta and Noelle. "Wanna try? Go on, you know you want to? La? La?" She asks.
Asta and Noelle just stared at their fellow member, a little confused to what she was thinking.
"Um, you do know she gave those cupcakes to us…" Asta begins to ask but the question was silenced by Charmy's mindset when it comes to food.
"It's alright, don't sweat the details. I don't mind sharing with you." Charmy says as she shook her head from left to right and then raise the cupcakes up to them. "Come on. They are delicious." She says.
"Um, th-thanks?" Asta says as he took the plain cupcake with some frosting on top in Charmy's right hand.
"I suppose I can honor this and accept it." Noelle says as she put on the snotty attitude and took the cupcake with seeds on top in Charmy's left hand.
Both Black Bulls ate the confections and gained looks of satisfaction.
"It's good!" Asta says in amazement.
"What a surprise. I'll admit, it's better than I thought." Noelle says with a look that countered her somewhat mean words.
No more than a second later, Charmy started to sing and skip around the basket while holding another cupcake. This drew their attention as it seemed Charmy was a lot more cheerful than usual.
"La la la! La la la!" Charmy sang as she skipped.
"You seem to be in an unusually good mood." Asta says.
"Yeah, its really creepy." Nero says as Asta broke off a piece of his cupcake and feed it to him.
"Yes, what's with you?" Noelle asked, curious to why she's doing this.
"It is because I had a fateful encounter. You're probably too young to understand." Charmy says as she stopped her skipping with a mouthful of cupcakes causing Asta and Noelle to look at each other in confusion before Noelle realizes something.
"Wait I'm confused, how did you even get into the castle anyway?" Noelle asks wondering how she got snuck in.
"Like this! Here, let me show you." Charmy says as finished her cupcake and opened her grimoire.
The food lover's grimoire glowed and soon, she was surrounded by a ball of cotton. The ball floated in the air before growing smaller and floating into the back of Asta's Black Bulls' robe, shocking the dragon slayer that Charmy used him as a Trojan Horse.
"Seriously?! You used me to sneak in?! What the heck?!" Asta shouts.
'Wow. I guess it's not just her appetite that's incredible but her magic as well.' Noelle thought as she watched the spell.
Asta turned his attention from Charmy in his robe as he smelled a familiar scent and turned to his left, seeing Yuno, Mimosa, and Klaus walking on a higher part of the kingdom towards who knows where.
"Huh? Oh hey, look over there." Asta says before he turned his body and waved. "Hey!" He yells waving his arm as the Golden Dawn caught this and stopped.
"There's only one person who yells like that." Klaus says as he, Yuno, and Mimosa turned towards the noise to see Asta and Noelle. "It's Asta and Noelle." He says seeing the two Intermediate Magic Knights.
"Hi, Asta!" Mimosa says as she waved back.
"Have your wounds fully healed? I asked you that before, didn't I?" Klaus asks being a bit forgetful.
"I'm fine, like I said before! Don't worry so much!" Asta says before setting his sights on his younger foster brother, not noticing Charmy floating out of his cloak. "Yuno, I heard you took down the enemy like it was nothing, you jackass!" He shouts.
"Why is he mad about that?" Yuno wonders as he stared at Asta.
"OH! My meal-saving prince is here!" Charmy says with a blush as she got out of her cotton ball spell.
Unknown to Asta and Noelle, ever since the banquet that Charmy snuck in and ate while everyone else was defending the Royal Capital, she had met Yuno after he unintentionally saved her food and instantly fell in love with him.
"Hey, Yuno! Greet your older brother properly, you jerk!" Asta shouts as he pointed to Yuno which drew Charmy's attention as she turned to him.
"HUH?! Wait, you know my prince?" Charmy asks.
"Don't go getting a big head just because you took one down!" Asta shouts ignoring Charmy. "Courtesy makes the world go round! So, come on! One "hello" isn't gonna kill you!" He shouts.
Yuno said nothing as he walked towards the edge of the sidewalk where he, Klaus, and Mimosa were walking before opening his grimoire.
"Yuno?" Mimosa asks as she watched her squad member in confusion along with Asta, Noelle, and Charmy until Yuno waved his hand and summoned a mighty wind that took the form of a giant hawk.
"Wind Creation Magic: Swift White Hawk." Yuno says as he then launched the attack and scared Asta and Noelle a bit but impressed Charmy greatly.
It would have hit if Asta didn't quickly regain his senses as he noticed his Dragon Slayer grimoire open in front of him and absorbing. He then began eating the wind made hawk as it quickly reduced in size as it entered his mouth.
"Sky Dragon Slayer Mode!" Asta shouts as his hair gained silver highlight and his Dragon Slayer grimoire turned to a blank page and began filling it with a description and spells.
As the new Dragon Slayer Magic was born it exploded outward in a whirlwind of power with great force, causing a wave of wind the blow to both sides. When the wave clear, Mimosa and Klaus were shocked as Yuno held a blank look on his face.
"Huh? Was that too much?" Yuno asks with a smoking hand.
"Are you crazy?! What do you think you're doing, Yuno?! You could've killed him!" Klaus says very shaken up from the sudden and unnecessary attack.
Meanwhile with the Black Bulls, Asta let his magic power die down while Noelle lowered her arms that she used to shield her face from her crush's burst of power. Asta had regained him composure and looked up at his younger foster brother with a bit of a frown.
"Jeez, is he stupid?! Was he actually trying to kill us?! I didn't expect Golden Dawn to change him this much." Asta says until he and Noelle looked down, seeing the wind gather and form a message.
"That's your reward for doing better than me. Next time I'll get the better result. Later, Shrimpsta."
This cause Asta to get angry as he glared back at Yuno, with Nero on his head.
"Who are you calling "Shrimpsta," Yuno, you jerk?! I'm still the older brother here! Come down here and fight me right now!" Asta shouts. "Don't shoot something like that just so you can write magic letters! Don't you dare ignore me and leave!" He kept shouting at Yuno in anger as he saw the Four Leaf-Clover wizard just turned around and walked away, causing Asta to get even angrier and shout more.
"Ah, the ferocious storm of love." Charmy says as she laid on the ground with her hands on her chest.
"Ignoring me is the worst thing you could do!" Asta continued his rambling but then let's go of his anger and crossed his arms with a smirk on his face.
"Hey, wait, Yuno!" Klaus shouts. 'Yuno's magic has gotten much stronger.' He thought centering his glasses, again. 'What could've happened in such a short amount of time?' He wonders not noticing Sylph on Yuno's shoulder.
'Asta.' Mimosa thought as she continued to stare at her crush while clenching her fists to her voluptuous chest in determination. 'I'm going to get stronger, so next time we meet, I'll be able to fight alongside you! And then…and then…' She thought before letting out a loud girlish giggle that caught Klaus' attention.
"I guess we'll just have to fight when we both get a lot stronger." Asta says with a dragon-like smirk. 'It doesn't matter how strong you get. I'm not going to lose, Yuno! The stronger you become, I'll get even stronger!' He thought as Noelle stood behind him with her arms crossed as well before smiling and giggling a bit.
'Is there any limit to how much I can fall in love with him?' Noelle wonders.
"Come on you two, let's head back to the base." Asta says heading in the direction of home.
Noelle nods and follows after him while Charmy, still in a love-struck state, uses her magic to carry her as it follows after them.
"Oh, by the way Noelle…" Asta begins to say gaining her attention. "I really like that new outfit you're wearing. Plus I also like your new hairstyle." He says causing a made blush to appear on the girl's face as she turns her head away.
"W-W-Wh-Where did that c-come f-from, you d-dummy?!" Noelle asks stuttering while cupping her blushing face. 'YES! This is exactly what I wanted from him!' She thought inwardly giggling happily as they continued their way back to the Black Bulls Headquarters.
A bit later, everyone was back at the Black Bulls Headquarters and Magna and Luck had come back from a mission.
"Welcome back, Magna, Luck!" Asta says greeting his fellow squad members.
"Man, I'm so exhausted from my mission." Magna says as he had a satisfied smile on his face.
"So tired." Luck says, agreeing with Magna.
"However! We got recognized for our deeds and got a star for each of us!" Magna says as he pumped his fist.
"That's great!" Asta says, happy that the Black Bulls were one star closer to catching up with the other squads.
"Not so close!" Magna shouts when Luck got in his personal space.
"That's right Magna! Our combo attack, the Crackling Black Magna Typhoon, was amazing, wasn't it?" Luck asks remembering the combo technique of combining Magna's body with his Lightning God Slayer Magic.
"No! We're never doing that move again!" Magna says, remembering that the move consisted on him spinning in a tornado of Lightning God Slayer Magic.
"Chuuuuuuu." Grey let out as he, Gauche, and Gordon sat in some chair and watched.
"Thank goodness you're all back safe." Gordon mumbled but no one except Asta and Noelle could hear him.
"Yeah, I'm gonna keep on showing the other Black Bulls how it's done!" Magna says to Asta. "Asta, my time has arrived! Make sure you keep up!" He says but no one seemed to mind his rambling as Yami was reading the newspaper with a cigarette in his mouth and Vanessa, in her underwear again, was asleep on the couch with wine bottles around her.
"That's not going to be a problem. Oh, by the way, Magna." Asta says with a happy smile.
"What's up?" Magna says as he and Luck payed attention to Asta.
"That special event Captain Yami mentioned before you and Luck heading on that mission was the Distinguished Service Ceremony where they made me a 4th Class Intermediate Magic Knight and Noelle was made a 5th Class Intermediate Magic Knight." Asta says with a smile as he rubbed under his nose and Noelle flips her ponytail that hung a bit on her left shoulder.
"What?! Huh?" The two shout in shock at first.
"Wait, what's a 4th and 5th Class Intermediate Magic Knight?" Magna asks in confusion because neither he nor Luck knew what it was until Yami spoke up.
"You guys have been Magic Knights all this time without knowing what that is?" Yami asks putting his newspaper down and stood up. "It's a Magic Knight rank. Magna, you haven't advance since you joined up and that means you're still a 5th Class Junior Magic Knight. Better start showing Asta some respect since he's now the highest-ranking Magic Knight in the Black Bulls after me." He says before remembering something Julius told him. "Oh yeah, Luck's also got ranked up to 1st Class Junior Magic Knight." He says.
"Wha?!" Magna said in shock and Luck said in amazement.
"And by the way, Charmy became a 1st Class Junior Magic Knight too." Yami says, blowing some smoke out of his mouth causing Luck and Magna to look towards the food loving girl as she stood with her hands on her hips.
"It's true, now on your knees, inferiors!" Charmy says with a smug tone in her voice.
"WHAT!?" Magna said in even greater shock as Luck just laughed.
"Make sure you follow me, you inferiors!" Charmy says as she turns around and pointed to her back with her thumb.
Magna was sent into a state of sputter as Luck just continued to laugh at Magna's displeasure. Yami soon walked behind them and continued to give the news.
"Apparently, they were impressed that she captured one of the rebels. Looks to me like she was just trying to beat her up, though." Yami explains as he saw Magna drop to his hands and feet while Charmy did a little dance.
"Worship me!" Charmy says as she repeatedly pushing her arms up to the ceiling and hopped one leg before alternating to the other leg and this causes Magna to get miffed off.
"What's with that weird dance?!" Magna asks as he grit his teeth.
"This is somehow very infuriating." Luck says with his usual smile but had some tension in his voice, showing that he too was annoyed by this since he and Charmy were the same rank as Asta just watched in curiosity.
"Anyway, well done, kid. You really stepped up." Yami says. 'I've got some big plans for you in the future.' He thought.
"But Captain Fuegoleon…" Asta begins to say as he looked down. "What if he doesn't regain his memories?" He asks voicing his worry for the Crimson Lion since he fought so hard and was worried that he won't be the same night as before.
"Huh? Fuegoleon? Who do you think you're worrying about, punk? That hot-blooded king of seriousness won't die that easily. And losing his memory and his arm won't break his spirit anytime soon. I bet he'll come back from this even stronger." Yami says even though he sounded like he didn't care, he was actually a kind person underneath when he needed to be and it showed its result when Asta got his smile back and put the dark thought aside not noticing Noelle and Nero appeared next to him and on his head.
"Of course! I can't be worrying about someone as strong as him not making it!" Asta says as he turned around. "All right! I'm going to train even harder and get stronger, too!" He shouts.
"Not a chance, kid. You're gonna rest." Yami says drawing Asta's attention. "You're too injured. You're going to die. Are you stupid?" He asks.
'But you made me do it in the first place!' Asta thought as Noelle got in his face.
"Yeah! You need to take a break!" Noelle says, her voice laced with concern.
"You too, Noelle?" Asta asks with a sigh.
"How stupid are you?" Noelle asks. "Have you even looked at that new Dragon Slayer Magic you just recently got?" She asks but it was then a sudden voice came in and drew everyone's attention.
"A break? You're getting time off, Asta?" Finral asks as he came out of a portal with a thumb up. "Then let's head to a mixer!" He says excitedly.
'Huh?!' Noelle thought in complete shock at the 21-year-olds suggestion.
"A m-mixer?!" Asta asks in shock as well.
"You need to get back to work." Yami says but it was ignored.
"I'll set everything up, my friend!" Finral says.
"I just told you to get to work." Yami says, trying to reach the loveless Spatial Magic user.
"Things are getting busy!" Finral says, once again not hearing his captain.
"I'll kill you?" Yami says in a threatening voice.
"Wait, do you wanna come too, Captain Yami?" Finral asks, turning to Yami and finally acknowledging him.
It was then the evening sky was filled with a primal roar and the sound of smashing as Noelle had a determined look on her face.
'Tonight I'm going to make my move, so I hope your ready Asta.' Noelle thought blushing lightly as she clenched her fists in determination for what she was planning on doing that night.
Later that night Asta was making his way back to his room and once he arrived and open his door, he received quite the surprise, his room was five times bigger than it was when he first became a member of the Black Bulls.
"Holy crap! What happened to my room?" Asta shouts his question in confusion.
"Hey kid, everything okay?" Yami asks walking up to his highest-ranking member.
"Captain Yami sir, my room seems to have gotten bigger than the last time I saw it." Asta informs his captain.
"Oh yeah I guess Magna forgot to mention that the rooms here get bigger when your status on the Magic Knight Ranking System changes. Since I'm the captain, my room is the biggest and right now you have the second highest rank in the Black Bulls so enjoy your new enlarged room and continue to push past your limits, kid." Yami says walking away and heading towards his own room.
"Yes sir, Captain Yami!" Asta shouts giving the Magic Knight salute before entering his new room and taking in the sight.
The room was not only bigger but the furniture was newer as well which also meant his bed was big enough for two people to sleep in, his desk was bigger and had a stack of blank paper and a few feather pens for him to write letters to Father Oris, Sister Lily, and his adoptive younger siblings, Recca, Nash, Aruru, and Hollo. Plus as book shelf filled with books on the history of Magic, the Clover Kingdom, usage of Mana, and many more. Next in the area between the bookshelf and bed there was a small round table for him and anyone who came to visit to sit at and talk. Next to the bookshelf was a large wardrobe that contained all of Asta's clothes with plenty of room for new ones as well. Lastly there was a nightstand next to the bed with a lamp on it and it was right under the window where Nero's nest was located.
"This is so amazing! I can't believe this is all mine now." Asta says admiring the contains of his new room. "What do you think, Nero?" He asks his Anti-Bird as he watched him fly to his nest.
"Much better than that cramped space of a room we had before." Nero says settling into his nest to relax.
"I guess your right. Well you settle in and I'm going to take a bath and later write a letter to everyone back in Hage Village telling them about our latest adventure." Asta says exiting his room and heading to the bath house.
Later that night Asta was currently at his desk writing a letter to his younger adoptive siblings back home wearing a white sleeveless shirt and black sweatpants. The window was currently open a little as Nero was out taking a little night flight.
"After Captain Fuegoleon awaken, I formed a new friendship/brotherhood/rivalry with his younger brother, Leopold Vermillion, the second son of the House of Vermillion, one of the royal families." Asta says writing in his letter his latest adventure. "Afterwards, we've been put on alert in order to find this terrorist group but don't worry, I'm capable of taking care of myself and so is Yuno. Not to mention all the good friends and squad mates we have by our sides. Anyways, hope your all doing we and can't wait to tell you about my next adventure, which I hope is soon." He says finishing his letter when he heard a knock on his door. 'I wonder who that could be.' He thought as he sent his feathered pen down and heading to the door. "Yes?" He asks opening the door to reveal that it was Noelle in her night clothes which was a purple lace spaghetti strap nightgown and her hair out of its ponytail as it cascade down to her midback. "Noelle? What are you doing here?" He asks trying his hardest to hide the growing blush on his face from seeing a large amount of her cleavage but was failing.
"Hey Asta, may I come in? There's something I want to talk about with you." Noelle says inwardly happy at seeing the reaction on her crush's face.
"Sure, come on in." Asta says as he lets Noelle enter his room heading towards his bed while looking around.
"I see your room was upgraded as well." Noelle says taking a seat on his bed.
"Yeah, I really like it and so does Nero apparently." Asta says taking a seat next to her.
"Were is Nero anyway?" Noelle asks not seeing their Anti-Bird anywhere.
"He usually takes a late-night flight but he comes back around 2 or 3 in the morning." Asta tells her.
'Good. This will be better if we're alone.' Noelle though as she takes a deep breath to steady her nerves. "Listen Asta, what I'm about to say…I want you to hear it all before you reply, okay?" She asks.
"Alright, go ahead. I'm listening." Asta says wondering what his crush has to say.
"When we first met, I thought of you like any other royal in the Clover Kingdom would have thought of a commoner, an incest who was below me, and when you saw me training to use my magic and attempted to say something I thought you were going to call me a failure just like my brothers and father did. Because of that my magic went out of control and I could've die if you hadn't saved me and you even attempted to shield from hitting the ground as we fell before Finral saved us with his magic. It was then you told me how amazing and strong you thought my magic was that I began to view you in a different way." Noelle says blushing a little as she continues to tell her love how her feelings for him came to be. "During our first mission together when I saw how hard you fought for Sosshi Village and how gifted you are in magic that those thoughts turned into admiration towards you." She says blushing a little brighter.
"Noelle…" Asta says softly in shock at listening to his crush's story as he blushes as well.
"It was during our trip with Vanessa to Kikka that I begin questioning how I truly felt." Noelle says feeling her heart beat faster as she gets closer to admitting that she loves Asta to him out loud. "When I saw how sad it made you that you couldn't buy it, I decided to get it for you as a token of declaration." She says lifting her right hand and gently flicking his dragon earring.
"Your declaration? Declaration of what?" Asta asks inwardly hoping she was about to say what he was hoping for.
"What I mean Asta is that it was at that moment that I realized that…" Noelle begins to says clenching her right hand into a fist over her heart as she gathers her courage and looks Asta right in the eyes. "…that I love you Asta!" She says loudly shocking him beyond belief.
'Noelle actually said she loves me?!' Asta thought in shock for a moment before it turned in happiness that the woman he loves feels the same way about him. 'This is my chance to tell her how I feel about her.' He thought about to open his mouth to say something but Noelle puts a finger to his lips.
"Please let me finish before you respond." Noelle says receiving a nod from Asta. "During our dungeon mission, those feelings continued with me and only seemed to grow more and more. But I also didn't know if you felt the same about me the same way I feel about you so I decided to give you a thank you gift for saving me back when we—" She begins to say until Asta had enough and gently cups her face and kisses her directly on the lips.
Noelle was in pure shock at the sudden act of passion but after a few moments she begin to sink into the kiss herself as she brought her hands to his face and returned the kiss as well with equal passion. The two stayed that way for a few minutes as they were lost in their own world where it was just the two of them and no one else until they finally remembered that they need to breath and released their lip-lock but continued to hold each other's face as they stared into the other's eyes.
"You don't need to explain yourself anymore, Noelle, because I love you too." Asta says placing a quick kiss on her lips again. "When we first meet I thought you were pretty cute and as I watched you grow from our first mission until now those feelings quickly turned into those of admiration as well but when I almost lost you in the fight against Mars I learned just how much you mean to me." He says stroking her cheeks with his thumbs. "But I have something to tell you…" He begins to says before looking down not knowing how she would take what he was about to say. "Being a Dragon Slayer means—" He was about to say until Noelle tackles him down onto his bed and straddles his waist while laying on top of him with her breasts up against his chest and resting her arms on either side of his head.
"Means that male Dragon Slayers can take multiple women as their mates." Noelle says with a gentle smile on her face at seeing the shocked reaction she saw on Asta's face. "You forgot that I'm a Dragon Slayer too so I know all about the whole harem thing." She says running her left hand through his hair.
"And you're okay with something like that?" Asta asks a little bit shocked by this.
"I'll admit I'm a little uncomfortable with that fact I'll have to share my boyfriend/mate but as long as I get to have you first and get final approval of who get to be apart of your harem I can live with it." Noelle says smiling down at her lover. "I love you Asta." She says as she locked eyes with him that were full of love.
"I love you too, Noelle." Asta says, leaning forward to capture Noelle's lips in a passionate kiss but this kiss was different from all their previous ones.
(Lemon Start)
This kiss was full of lust and desire. The kiss quickly became more heated, and Asta soon rolled them over until he found himself on top of Noelle; her full breasts pressing against his chest. Asta's tongue battled with Noelle's as both mages let their lust take over. When Asta and Noelle broke for air, they were blushing fiercely and slightly panting.
"Asta…I want you." Noelle says, as she ran her hand down Asta's cheek. "I'm ready if you are." She says as her hand continues to move down until her fingers were against his neck and her thumb still on his cheek, stroking it.
"Are you sure Noelle? There's no going back once we do this." Asta says, wanting to give Noelle a chance to back out.
"You're sweet for asking." Noelle says as she leaned forward and kisses Asta, as the silver haired teen gently pushed Asta backwards so that she was straddling his hips. "But I want to do this with you Asta. I love you, so I want you to claim me." She says with a lustful smirk spread across her face when she felt Asta's erection pressing against her ass. "And it looks like your little dragon is ready to go too." She says giving a dragon grin of her own after seeing Asta's.
"Alright Noelle, you asked for it." Asta says, a lustful dragon grin on his face.
"Well then…" Noelle begins to say with half-lidded eyes, as she beckoned Asta closer with her index finger. "Come and get me Asta, I'm all yours." She says teasingly.
'Holy shit, I've never seen this sexy side of Noelle before but I like it!' Asta thought, practically pouncing the beautiful silver-haired royal as the Elemental Dragon Slayer captured her lips in a fiery kiss, eliciting a moan from the Sea Dragon Slayer, however, as Asta kissed Noelle he ran into a problem. 'What am I even supposed to do now? This is my first time ever doing something like this.' He wonders.
Noelle, sensing Asta's hesitation leaned forward and kisses his forehead snapping him out of his thoughts.
"It's okay to be nervous, Asta. This isn't just your first time, its mine as well." Noelle says lovingly.
"You mean…" Asta begins to say.
"We're both going to make some mistakes but we'll just follow our instincts and learn as we go." Noelle says raising his confidence back to normal.
"Okay, I guess I'll wing it." Asta says, as he ran his hands up Noelle's sides.
The Elemental Dragon Slayer's warm and tingling hands caused Noelle to moan into their kiss. Deciding to test the waters, Asta's hands slowly snaked up to cup the bottom of Noelle's well-endowed breasts. When Noelle didn't protest, Asta gave the large orbs of flesh a quick squeeze. Noelle immediately broke their kiss to let out a loud moan. Thinking that he had hurt her, Asta immediately stopped what he was doing.
"You okay, Noelle?" Asta asks quickly feeling concern wash over him for his girlfriend.
"W-Why'd you stop?" Noelle panted out her question, seeing the concerned look in Asta's eyes caused the royal to smile as she reaching reached down and pulled the ends of her nightgown up. "You didn't hurt me Asta. In fact that felt amazing." She says to her boyfriend.
Asta eyes shot open when Noelle shrugged off her nightgown and threw it across the room. The Elemental Dragon Slayer's jaw hung open as Noelle only in her purple lace G-string panties.
"Your hands feel amazing Asta, and I want to feel them all over my body." Noelle says with a teasing smile as rested her arms around Asta's neck.
Asta couldn't believe what he was seeing, Noelle's bare tits were barely a foot away from his face and he was positive that Noelle's breasts broke some law of physics. Despite their above-average size, Noelle's breasts didn't show any hints of sagging not to mention they were perfectly round and jiggled slightly with each breath she took. The busty royal's nipples were also fully erect, showing that she really was turned on right now. Asta didn't know what to do, his mind seemed to shut down as he stared at Noelle's boobs. But then Noelle said something that caused Asta's heart to skip a beat.
"Go ahead Asta..." Noelle whispers hotly into Asta's ear as her lustful tone caused a shiver to run down Asta's spine. "Touch them." She finishes.
It was probably the greatest thing Asta had ever heard. Now knowing that he had full permission, Asta reached forward and cupped one of Noelle's breasts in each hand. Asta couldn't believe how soft the large orbs of flesh were. With each squeeze, Noelle's breasts would mold around Asta's fingers. The ash blond-haired Dragon Slayer had a field day with Noelle's breasts; groping the large mounds of flesh and pinching the silver's erect nipples. Deciding to be a little more adventurous, Asta took one of Noelle's breasts into his mouth, sucking on the erect nipple and swirling his tongue around the nub. While Asta's mouth occupied one tit, his hand massaged and kneaded the other. Asta's ministrations were turning Noelle into a moaning mess. The silver-haired Dragon Slayer couldn't focus on anything except the pleasure she was feeling. Another low moan escaped Noelle's lips, as she felt herself starting to get wet. As Asta continued to grope Noelle's breasts an intoxicating scent suddenly hit his nose. The smell overwhelmed Asta's senses and made him even more horny. The Elemental Dragon Slayer released Noelle's breasts and descended lower down her body.
"A-Asta? What are you doooooooo-" Noelle moaned loudly when Asta began to massage her womanhood through her panties.
"I can smell you, Noelle." Asta says in a husky tone, as he leaned closer to the royal; his face only a few inches away from hers as he continued to rub Noelle's pussy as he spoke while Noelle began to pant slightly as Asta slid off her skirt. "You're really turned on right now, aren't you?" He asks.
"Fuck yes! I want you so bad right now!" Noelle screams, feeling a warm sensation building in the pit of her stomach.
However, Noelle suddenly felt a strange burning heat, then she could faintly smell smoke. Looking down, Noelle squeaked when she saw that she was now completely naked; a small pile of ash was all that remained of her lacy purple G-string panties.
"Asta! That was my favorite pair!" Noelle yells also noticing that Asta's hair now had red highlights in it meaning he was in his Fire Dragon Slayer Mode.
"Don't worry…" Asta begins to say as he locked eyes with Noelle and when she saw lust in the Elemental Dragon Slayer's eyes caused Noelle to shiver in anticipation. "I'll buy you another pair later." He says.
Before Noelle had a chance to speak, Asta attacked her now exposed pussy. Asta's tongue delved into Noelle's wet folds. The male Dragon Slayer followed his instincts and did whatever he felt was right and judging from the lewd moans escaping Noelle's lips Asta knew he was doing a pretty good job for his first time.
"Oh my God! Asta! How are you so good at this!?" Noelle asks screaming, arching her back slightly off the bed.
While Asta's burning tongue probed her womanhood, Noelle was a writhing and squirming mess. Sweat formed on Noelle's brow as she bit her bottom lip to hold in her moans of ecstasy. Noelle had no idea how Asta was doing it, but the Elemental Dragon Slayer seemed to be hitting all of her sweet spots. She could feel the burning sensation building up in the pit of her stomach once again. Noelle knew that her orgasm was rapidly approaching, but she still needed one last push to go over the edge. As Asta lavished in the taste of Noelle's juices, he spotted a small nub of flesh. Reaching out, Asta gave the nub a quick squeeze. What Asta didn't know was that he had just pinched Noelle's clitoris, and that was the push she needed to experience her orgasm. Noelle let out a scream of pure pleasure as her orgasm rocked her whole body.
"H-Holy shit…I've never came that h-hard…" Noelle panted out as she to catch her breath.
"Damn, you taste good Noelle." Asta says licking Noelle's juices of his lips.
"Well…" Noelle says as she sat up and gently pushing Asta back onto his bed. "I think it's my turn to return the favor. Now let's get your clothes off, because it's not fair that I'm the only one naked right now." She says.
Asta had never thrown off his clothes so fast in his entire life, but when he reached for his boxers Noelle stopped him.
"No, let me do those." Noelle says with a lustful smirk on her face, as she ran her hand over the impressive bulge in Asta's boxers, causing the Elemental Dragon Slayer to let out a low moan.
Tugging on the waistband, Noelle suddenly yanked off Asta's boxers, which freed his trapped dragon. Noelle gasped when she saw Asta's bare cock. The royal had seen several male genitalia before in the more risqué magazines she had seen from Vanessa's collection after she became a member of the Black Bulls, and the erotic novels she had read gave her a pretty good idea of what to expect. But Asta blew all of those expectations out of the water. If Noelle had to guesstimate, she'd say the dragon slayer's manhood stood erect at around eight inches.
'How does he walk around with that thing between his legs? Well here goes nothing.' Noelle wonders steadying her nerves.
Slowly reaching out, Noelle gently gripped Asta's shaft. Much like the rest of his skin, Asta's cock was hot to the touch and sent pleasurable electric tingles throughout Noelle's body. Asta groaned in pleasure and leaned his head back, as Noelle slowly massaged his cock with her soft hands. Noelle's face was burning in both embarrassment and arousal as she stroked the ash blond-haired Dragon Slayer's manhood. Once Noelle was sure Asta was fully erect, she took a deep breath to calm her nerves. Asta was thoroughly enjoying Noelle's hand job, but he almost yelped when he felt something incredibly warm and wet wrap around his manhood. Looking down, Asta's eyes nearly bugged out when he saw that Noelle had his cock in her mouth.
"Fuck Noelle!" Asta moaned out, gently grabbing ahold of Noelle's long silver hair. "Where did you learn how to do this?!" He asks gasping with her suck she took.
Noelle slowly bobbed her head up and down on Asta's manhood, taking as much of it into her mouth as she could. Whatever her mouth couldn't reach she stroked with one of her free hands. Noelle wasn't experienced in performing fellatio, but she tried her best and used the information she had gained from the magazines and smutty books she had read from Vanessa. Remembering a passage from one of her books, Noelle swirled her tongue around the head of Asta's cock and used her other hand to massage his balls. Noelle continued to suck Asta's manhood, trying to take more of it in each time she bobbed her head. But every time Noelle tried to get further down Asta's cock her gag reflexes would kick in. After several attempts the busty royal gave up and opted to practice and try again another time. Asta suddenly began to slightly buck his hips, as Noelle felt his cock start to twitch. Knowing what was about to come, Noelle began to bob her head faster.
"I'm cumming!" Asta yells, as he grabbed ahold of Noelle's head to hold her in place.
Noelle's eyes widened when Asta's hot seed began to fill her mouth. The busty Sea Dragon Slayer managed to swallow all of it despite the large amount. The Elemental Dragon Slayer was panting slightly as he released Noelle's head.
"Damn Noelle that was amazing!" Asta says loudly and panting heavily.
"Mmmm, not bad." Noelle says with a seductive dragon-like smile while licking the excess cum from her lips. "I wouldn't mind tasting that again. But now…" She begins to say with her eyes full of lust and need as she slowly crawled up Asta's body; rubbing her dripping womanhood against Asta's still erect penis. "It's time we get to the main event." She says lovingly and seductively at the same time.
"You're still absolutely sure about this, Noelle? I don't mind waiting until you're fully ready." Asta says wanting Noelle to have one last chance to back out.
"Again, you're sweet for asking." Noelle says as she leaned forward and gently kissed Asta on the lips. "But my answer is still the same. I want this Asta. I want to be one with you. I want you to claim me." She says.
"Okay, then your wish is my command, my beautiful Sea Dragon Silva Goddess." Asta says smiling up at the silver-haired royal.
"Ohhh…hearing you call me that gets me all tingly." Noelle says shivering lustfully. "Here I go…" She says as she grabbed ahold of Asta's manhood.
The busty Sea Dragon Slayer lined Asta's cock up with her pussy, and slowly began to drop down. Both Dragon Slayers hissed as more and more of Asta entered Noelle. The Elemental Dragon Slayer was shocked at how tight the Sea Dragon Slayer was, while Noelle was amazed at how much Asta stretched and filled her. After about a minute, Noelle had fully impaled herself on Asta's manhood. Noelle had always heard how a girl's first time was a painful experience. But Noelle was surprised when she didn't feel much pain, just some discomfort due to Asta's size.
"You okay, Noelle?" Asta asks in a concerned tone, seeing the look on Noelle's face. "I know it's supposed to hurt the first time for a girl." He says.
"I'm fine, Asta…" Noelle replies, as she wiggled her hips a little to get more comfortable, which in turn caused her boyfriend to moan slightly at the sudden motion. "It's weird, but I don't really feel any pain. Just give me a few minutes to get used to you, okay?" She asks.
Asta nodded his head and smiled at the busty royal. Noelle returned Asta's smile and lays her head against his chest while she waited. A few minutes later Noelle experimentally rolled her hips. Instead of discomfort, pleasure shot through Noelle's body, causing her to release a soft moan.
"You can start moving now, Asta." Noelle says.
"I'm gonna start then." Asta says slowly pulling out of Noelle.
Both Dragon Slayers moaned at the movement. When Asta was about halfway out, he thrust back in. Asta had to hold himself back from violently pounding into the royal. His instincts told him to throw Noelle down onto the bed and ravish her, to make her scream his name in pleasure. But this was Noelle's first time, and Asta knew he had to take it easy for now. He would have her screaming his name in due time. Until then he had to keep the dragon inside him caged.
"Fuck…you're so tight Noelle." Asta says.
"Shit…this feels amazing, Asta!" Noelle moans loudly, as she began to rock her hips in time with Asta's thrusts.
Soon both Dragon Slayers had found a steady and pleasurable rhythm. As Noelle slowly bounced up and down, Asta reached up and grabbed the busty royal's jiggling breasts. Noelle moaned in pleasure as Asta's warm hands massaged her breasts. The busty silver-haired royal enjoyed the slow and filling tempo they had going, but she wanted to experience everything her Dragon Slayer boyfriend had to offer.
"Ah! Asta! Harder! Faster! Please!" Noelle begs moaning louder.
Noelle's moans spired Asta to pick up the pace. He grabbed ahold of Noelle's hips and began to pound into her wet pussy faster. Noelle howled in ecstasy as her pleasure shot through the roof. As Asta continued to pound into her, Noelle leaned forward and pulled Asta in for a fiery kiss. Both Dragon Slayers moaned as their tongues began to battle for dominance. However, Noelle squeaked in surprised when she felt Asta suddenly pick her up. Moments later, Noelle felt her back hit the bed as Asta loomed over her. With a lustful smirk the Elemental Dragon Slayer once again started to rapidly thrust like a piston in and out of Noelle. The busty Sea Dragon Slayer let out a loud moan, because of the pleasure the new position offered.
"Fuck! Asta you're amazing!" Noelle screams arching her back off the bed as Asta leaned his head forward and began to suck on one of Noelle's erect nipples, as he continued to make love to the silver-haired mage. "Shit! I'm getting so close Asta!" She shouts.
"I'm almost there too, Noelle!" Asta shouts, grunted out after giving Noelle's nipple a quick bite.
The silver's large breasts were now red from Asta's near constant groping. The Elemental Dragon Slayer could feel a familiar sensation as he felt his own orgasm quickly approaching. After a few more minutes of intense pounding, Asta was finally at his limit.
"Fuck! Where do you want it Noelle?!" Asta asks loudly.
"Inside! I want to feel it all inside me!" Noelle exclaims, as she went over the edge into her second orgasm of their lovemaking session. "Don't worry, even though its very rare, female royals are taught a spell to prevent early pregnancy in case we are ever captured and raped!" She explains to her boyfriend.
Right as Asta began to release his seed into Noelle, he followed his dragon instincts and bit down into the crook of her neck; pumping some of his magic into her. The Silva screamed in a mixture of pain and pleasure as the bite only seemed to enhance her own orgasm. A few moments later, Asta released Noelle's neck and slowly pulled out of her; a mixture of both their sexual juices following after him. The Elemental Dragon Slayer plopped down onto the bed, with Noelle laying down next to him. Both Slayers were panting slightly as Noelle drew lazy circles on Asta's muscular chest.
"Holy shit…that was amazing Noelle." Asta says turning to flash the busty Silva a wide grin.
"Yes…it really was fantastic Asta…" Noelle says as a lustful smirk spread across her face.
Asta quirked an eyebrow when he felt one of Noelle's hand snake down his body. Then the Elemental Dragon Slayer moans as Noelle began to stroke his cock back to life. Noelle then rolled on top of Asta once again.
"In fact…I want to do it again…if you're up to my dragon." Noelle says licking Asta's cheek.
Asta growled slightly when he saw the pure lust in Noelle's half-lidded eyes. The blonde began giggle when Asta lunged forward and began to kiss her neck. It was time for him to release his inner dragon.
(End Lemon)
The next morning with a soft yawn, Noelle awoke from her peaceful slumber. The silver-haired smiled when she felt a strong arm wrapped around her waist. She turned her head slightly to see that Asta was still fast asleep. Plating a quick kiss/lick on Asta's cheek, Noelle gently removed his arm but then noticed that there was another door on wall next to the bookcase.
"Um…Asta…" Noelle begins to say shaking her boyfriend/mate awake.
"What's wrong Noelle?" Asta asks rubbing his sleepy eyes. "Huh? Where did that door come from?" He asks slipping on his boxers as Noelle throws her nightgown back on.
The two Dragons Slayers make their way to the door and as Asta opens it, they see that its leads to someone else's bedroom.
"Hey this is my room." Noelle says walking inside and notices all her stuff is here as well as Nero who was currently sleeping in his second nest on Noelle's windowsill.
"I guess this place also knows when members of the Black Bulls become couples, too." Asta says leaning against the door.
"So I guess we'll be closer than we already are." Noelle says with a loving smile as she kisses her mate on the lips. "Well I'm going to head to the woman's bathhouse but I'll met you for breakfast in an hour or so, okay?" She asks.
"Sounds good, my beautiful Sea Dragon Silva Goddess." Asta says cupping her cheek as he returned the kiss with equal passion. "I love you, Noelle." He says.
"I love you too, Asta." Noelle says as she watches him return to his room pulling the door closed behind him. 'After last night I can't wait to see what the future has in store for me and Asta.' She thought gathering her bath supplies and head to the woman's bathhouse unknown that Nero opened one of his eyes.
'I knew they would get together soon but I never would have thought they'd get into it that quick.' Nero thought before resuming his early morning nap.
Author's Note: Hope you all enjoyed this chapter as well as my first attempt at a lemon. Hope you also enjoyed the surprises; Asta getting Sky Dragon Slayer Magic, a bigger room, Noelle's new outfit and hair style, and finally their rooms being connected to each other.
