"Oh..." Noelle, slightly disappointed, dipped her feet into the basin, but immediately lifted them back up in pain. "Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
"Usually the first time is the most painful, it will be much better after that." Asta coaxed.
"Really?" Noelle said, tentatively putting her feet back into the basin. She found that it really wasn't as stinging anymore. Moreover, the recovery potion began to take effect, and her whole feet felt numb. After a bout of tingling, Noelle found that her feet felt exceptionally comfortable.
"Boom..." The sky suddenly became covered in dark clouds; it looked like a heavy rainstorm was coming.
"Oh no, the weather is turning!" Noelle immediately panicked; she didn't want to become a drowned rat!
"Don't worry about running. Have you ever tried soaking your feet during a rainstorm?" Asta smiled.
"You're a pervert! Can you even soak your feet on a rainy day?" Noelle exclaimed. Although her feet felt very comfortable now, if a downpour started in a moment and she got soaked, that wouldn't be comfortable, would it!
"Watch me!" Asta finished, put on his shoes, and ran out. Soon, a few scattered raindrops began to fall from the sky, and Noelle had to use her small hands to cover her head.
"Stupid Asta, what did you go off to do?" Noelle pouted. She didn't want to get soaked like a drowned rat, but Noelle instinctively chose to trust Asta. Soon, she saw Asta running back, dragging several large leaves from the nearby forest!
"Soaking your feet on a rainy day—it's quite atmospheric!" Asta said, using the leaves to construct a canopy. Then, fearing Noelle might get cold, he lit a bonfire nearby, and instantly, a warm atmosphere filled the leaf canopy.
"So comfortable..." Noelle couldn't help but stretch, finding it truly quite atmospheric.
Chapter 100: Gathering at the Royal Capital!
"It's raining just right now. When the rain stops, these river channels will be filled up." Asta said, looking at the heavy rain.
"Training freak!" Noelle couldn't help but pout; he really had no sense of romance.
The heavy rain lasted for a long time. During this time, seeing that the rain wouldn't stop anytime soon, Asta simply escorted Noelle back to the castle first, then returned to the rainy area to continue his training mission for the day.
"Asta is really pushing himself!" Magna couldn't help but exclaim, but what surprised him even more was Asta's performance next!
Everyone saw Asta bring over a large rock from somewhere; the rock looked like a small mountain. Then, Asta used iron chains to tie himself to the rock.
"C-Captain! Asta is committing suicide!" Charmy, coming out of the headquarters, happened to see Asta jump into the water tied to a large rock. Scared, her short little legs moved as fast as they could as she ran to report to Yami.
"You mean Asta jumped into the water tied to a rock, right?" Yami said calmly. Truth be told, when he first heard Noelle report that Asta was committing suicide, he was also startled. However, when he saw Asta swimming around lively in the water while tied to a large rock, he couldn't help but have a few black lines appear on his forehead.
"Yes, yes, such a big rock!" Charmy said exaggeratedly.
"I'm going to teach him a lesson! Damn it, training is training, but does he have to be so terrifying?" Yami said as he rolled up his sleeves and started walking out. Charmy quickly grabbed onto Yami's leg.
"Don't, Captain! Are you saying Asta is actually training?" Charmy asked.
"Yeah. If you go over now, you'll probably see Noelle, Vanessa, Magna, and Luck having a happy party on a giant rock!" Yami said while picking his nose.
"A... a devil! Where is his humanity!" The image of Asta working like a slave immediately appeared in Charmy's mind.
"Supposedly there are lots of snacks and drinks. Oh, right, Magna's even grilling skewers up there. I went up to play some cards yesterday, and the taste..." Yami's face took on a look of endless aftertaste as he spoke.
"I... I'm going too!" Hearing there was so much good food on the giant rock, Charmy immediately started sprinting. She soon reached the riverside and joined the giant rock carnival.
"Ah... this gives me the feeling of surfing at the beach!" Vanessa spread her arms. She and Noelle had each brought a beach chair up there, complete with sun umbrellas. When Asta dragged the rock, it generated an incredibly cool breeze. Drinking and eating meat in this environment was simply pure bliss!
"Asta, are you raising fish? Go faster! Let This Princess feel the sensation of riding the wind and waves!" Noelle had been more worried than anyone at first, but now she was having more fun than anyone.
"This little girl, her Princess syndrome is acting up again!" Asta couldn't help but curl his lip. Then he increased his power. At this moment, his muscles were nearing their absolute limit, but youth is about constantly surpassing oneself!
For the next few days, Asta continued training like this until the day they had to head to the Magic Knights Headquarters.
