Vanessa suggested.
"Anyway, it's a day off now, and I don't mind lending you for a while. Let's consider it a thank you for this magic wand!"
Noelle gently played with her hair, her pink eyes holding both pride and tenderness, though she was used to hiding her tenderness beneath her pride.
"Thank you all for your kindness, but for a beast to grow, it is destined to undergo the tempering of frost and thorns. I believe Yuno will definitely resolve this crisis, because he is the fiercest beast in the forest besides me!"
Asta's gaze was like a torch. He believed that Yuno and the veteran leading the Golden Dawn would definitely see through the trickery of this operation.
"That makes sense. Then let's go back!"
Vanessa nodded, then took Asta and Noelle and flew toward the headquarters.
"You brats, did you have fun today? Did you spend money recklessly?"
Yami sat on the sofa, looking at Asta and the others who had just returned.
"We listened to your instructions and spent every penny where it counted."
Asta glanced at the magic wand held in Noelle's arms and said, implying a double meaning.
"And what about Little Noelle?"
Yami asked with a smile.
"Although I didn't buy anything, it was a pleasant shopping trip overall."
Noelle pouted and said.
"Captain, we're back, and we even brought you some snacks this time!"
Charmy said, holding up a quarter of the snacks she had in her hand, expecting credit.
"Damn it, when did so many experts show up at the casino..."
Magna walked in with a depressed look on his face.
"I'm back too. My angel really likes the clothes I bought."
Gauche, the siscon gamer, walked into the living room happily. Soon, the once desolate Black Bulls Headquarters became lively again. Whenever this happened, Yami always felt the most fulfilled, a sense of fulfillment that only those who have experienced the cruelty and loneliness of war can understand.
However, this good mood came with a prerequisite: no destroying public property right under his nose!
"You bastards, how many times have I told you not to destroy public property!"
Yami, absolutely furious, punched and sent half of the wall behind him flying. This made Magna, who had just punched a hole in the wall, feel very embarrassed.
"It's so messy here... Asta, do you want to go eat dinner together?"
Noelle had been complaining, but suddenly changed the subject.
"Sure!"
Asta's eyes lit up. This was the first time Noelle had invited him. Plus, with everyone making noise in the living room, they would likely be the only two in the cafeteria, right? It felt more like a date.
However, when they walked into the cafeteria, they discovered that wasn't the case. As soon as Asta pushed open the door, he saw Charmy burying her head in her food, eating voraciously...
"She really is diligent..."
Asta was speechless. How did this cute little thing sneak into the cafeteria?
Noelle, however, breathed a sigh of relief. Since this was the first time she had invited someone to eat, she had no idea what to say, but now with Charmy there, she didn't feel as nervous.
"Asta and Noelle are hungry too, right? Come on over, there's still plenty of food in the cafeteria!"
Charmy called out enthusiastically.
"Alright, then I'll show you what it means to burn through youth with appetite!"
Asta sat down opposite Charmy and said.
"Oh? Want to have an eating contest?"
Hearing this, Charmy stopped as if she had received a challenge.
"I didn't originally mean that, but youth is about constantly accepting challenges. Want to compete?"
Asta said with a squinting smile. Whenever he wore this expression, those who knew him would become wary, because it meant he was about to scam someone!
"You're on! When it comes to eating, I, Charmy, have never backed down from anyone!"
Charmy patted her small chest and said with a haughty look.
"Then dare to make a bet? If you lose, from now on, half of your salary will go to buying me delicious food."
Asta stared at Charmy under the candlelight. There is a saying that beauties look even more beautiful under the light. Although Charmy was a glutton and a bit chubby, her exquisite features and fair skin were quite appealing.
"Then what if you lose?"
Charmy's eyes lit up with excitement. The bet Asta proposed was simply too tempting for her. If Magna were here, he would definitely be rushing to tell Charmy to stay calm!
"I haven't decided yet, but it won't be anything excessive."
Asta said.
"Fine! So how are we competing?"
Charmy asked.
"Let's compete to see who can finish eating a whole wild boar first!"
Asta said, improvising on the spot.
"Then, I'll be your referee!"
Noelle said, raising her hand.
"Very well, prepare to feel the terror of Charmy, Asta!"
Charmy snapped her fingers, and her grimoire immediately flipped open. When it reached Cotton Creation Magic: Sheep Cook, three magical sheep immediately began setting up fires to roast meat in a flurry of activity. In no time, two whole roasted boars were prepared!
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Start!"
Noelle seemed to have fully entered the role of a referee, with tiny beads of sweat even forming on her delicate nose.
"Eat, eat, eat!"
Charmy immediately grabbed a huge pig leg and started gnawing on it.
"Hmph, feel the fear of the Blue Beast! Ninja Art: Wolf-Gulping Tiger-Swallowing Technique!"
Asta borrowed some cutlery from the sheep cooks, then tossed the wild boar meat from the dining table into the air. At that moment, his Chakra surged through the cutlery. Every time the boar meat fell, Asta would slice it and use the cutlery to launch it back into the air!
In this way, Asta's right hand was like a cutting machine, continuously slicing pieces of meat off the boar to eat. This efficiency was clearly faster than Charmy just gnawing on it.
