"What?"
Magna instantly jumped out of the bath. "You... you're joking, right!"
"You can choose to keep soaking!"
Asta gave a devilish smile, which made Magna shudder.
"Let's go, let's go, I'll take you to the next place!"
Magna had originally wanted to soak comfortably, but after hearing Asta's words, he had no interest left at all.
"OK!"
Asta smiled with narrowed eyes. Actually, he wasn't being alarmist; it was said that the reason ancient Romans had low fertility was largely related to their love for hot baths.
"Next, I'll take you to the most sacred place in this castle, and that is—the women's dormitory!"
Magna spoke mysteriously.
"That is indeed very sacred, but what's with all these dense spiderwebs and poison arrows!"
Asta couldn't help but ask.
"These are all trap magic. If a man intrudes without permission..."
Magna paused, then looked at Asta profoundly and said, "With our skills, we'd kick the bucket in an instant, so don't say I didn't warn you!"
"You'd be the one kicking the bucket!"
Asta said speechlessly. With traps like these, he could completely dance a cha-cha inside and come back out!
"Alright, next is the most important place: the men's toilet! Remember, this isn't Hage Village. If you dare to relieve yourself anywhere else, I'll kill you!"
As Magna spoke, he arrived at the toilet and pulled open the door. At this moment, even though he was still looking at Asta, for some reason, he felt an icy aura mixed with a thick stench wafting out.
"I'll kill you, Magna!"
Yami spoke with a dark face. He never expected that taking a dump would result in being watched by two brats. Does he, a dignified Captain, not care about his reputation!
"So sorry!"
Magna's hair stood on end from fright. He immediately slammed the toilet door shut and fled.
"Ahem, although I didn't expect Captain Yami to be there, that's not the point. The point is that now you know where the toilet is. Next is the beast room!"
Magna introduced as he ran.
"Even the beasts have a room?"
Asta asked.
"Of course, this is the Captain's hobby, so a room was specially opened for the beasts. Look, these are the beasts with colorful eyes. Aren't they cute?"
Magna looked at Asta and said persuasively, "It's worth mentioning that the glorious task of feeding the beasts doesn't fall under a newcomer's scope. You should know this is a sacred profession that we veterans are always fighting over. It just so happens to be my turn to feed them. Do you want me to give it to you?"
"I think you should keep doing it yourself."
Asta looked at the fierce creatures behind the iron gate with a face full of black lines. Although they were far from Tailed Beasts, where on earth were they 'cute'!
"Tch! Next is the library!"
Magna quickly brought Asta to a library that was roughly one-fiftieth the size of the dining hall.
"As expected of the Black Bulls... the dining hall is practically bigger than a playground, but this library is practically smaller than the toilet..."
Asta curled his lip, but this was fine; he got a headache whenever he saw books anyway!
"Now I'll take you to see our Black Bulls' game room!"
Magna spoke excitedly.
"There's even a game room!"
Asta's eyes lit up; that sounded pretty good!
"Hahaha, how about it? Are these things fun?"
Magna pointed mischievously at the equipment in the room.
"Are you sure this isn't an interrogation room?"
Asta looked at the equipment, which had iron nails driven into everything from the benches to the gears, and couldn't help but curl his lip.
"Hmph! Next, I'll take you to see something fun!"
After Magna finished speaking, he ran quickly toward the next destination, but as he ran, he slowed down because a pink-eyed girl appeared at the end of the corridor.
Asta looked up, feeling a sense of peaceful times. He hadn't expected the girl he caught a glimpse of at the exam venue to be in the same squad as him!
This kind of unexpected joy was very much like seeing a beautiful female classmate at the registration desk when starting school, and then discovering that she was actually in the same class. Sometimes fate is just that mysterious and wonderful.
But regardless of what entanglements might arise between him and this pink-eyed girl in the future, her expression right now seemed somewhat hostile. It looked like he needed a explosive opening that could break her cold aura!
"Asta, she's your fellow newcomer."
Magna stopped and introduced her.
At this time, the pink-eyed girl walked unhurriedly toward the two of them. Her steps didn't pause for a moment; she only said as she approached Asta, "Don't look at me with those eyes, you magic-deficient little insect!"
Asta rubbed his nose and chuckled, "It seems you really don't like contact with people?"
"Isn't that obvious? I am Noelle Silva, royalty of this kingdom!"
Noelle looked at Asta rudely.
"Then what if you suddenly threw yourself into my arms?"
Asta asked with a smile. Magna was all too familiar with his current smile, because when Asta was pranking him last night, he had this same fox-like smile!
"Should I give this newcomer a kind reminder..."
Magna looked at the arrogant and haughty Noelle and suddenly felt, why bother reminding her? It would be better if she got pranked hard by Asta!
"Throw myself into your arms? How could that be possible!"
Noelle had a look of total disbelief. Would she, a dignified Princess, do something as stupid as throwing herself at someone!
