"It seems the two of us have had similar experiences!"
Vanessa lovingly pulled Noelle into her arms to comfort her.
"Vanessa, big sister, is it like that for you too?"
Noelle asked, surprised, because Vanessa didn't seem like the type at all.
"Yes. Until the Captain rescued me, I was kept in a room like a canary. I was so bored that I could only use Thread Magic to create some dolls to talk to. Honestly, this is the first time I've ever playfully wrestled with someone so intimately too!"
Vanessa couldn't help but say as she recalled the past.
"So, you were brought back by the Captain!"
Noelle realized then that Vanessa hadn't joined the Black Bulls through the regular selection process.
"More than just me. Many of the members in the squad were brought back by the Captain himself. For example, that sister-complex, Gauche; he was a fugitive the Captain was chasing at the time, but he ended up being recruited into the squad."
Vanessa said.
"Come to think of it, I didn't join through the proper selection process either!"
Noelle sighed.
"Little Noelle, you can be considered lucky, because you have peers from the same intake. Unlike us, who were mostly on our own; there weren't really any people of our own age group."
Vanessa said with a smile. After the playful wrestling, she found that her bond with Noelle and Asta had deepened.
"It's getting late, let's get some rest!"
Asta suggested.
"Alright, see you tomorrow!"
Vanessa waved, and she and Asta left one after another.
"I'm going to be alone again!"
Noelle gazed at the empty room. Outside the window, it seemed to be drizzling with light rain, but recalling the playful wrestling from just now, the corners of her mouth curled up happily.
The next day, Noelle was still fast asleep when she heard someone knocking on the window.
"Noelle, wake up, I'm here to give you a massage!"
Asta said, acting like a thief.
"Asta?"
Noelle sat up with a start, quickly opened the window to let Asta in, and then guiltily looked left and right. After realizing no one was paying attention, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Should I have come later?"
Asta couldn't help but say as he saw Noelle wearing only a thin Princess-style nightgown.
"Ah!"
Noelle immediately covered her chest and then gave Asta a flying kick, but she missed. And because this was real life, the hem of her nightgown didn't have anti-gravity. This sudden magical critical hit caused Asta to spray a nosebleed.
"I can't go on living!"
Noelle cried.
"I didn't see anything! My eyes have been irritated by the wind since just now. Besides, your nightgown is so long, I couldn't see anything anyway!"
Asta hurriedly comforted her.
"Really?"
Noelle tapped her nightgown. It really seemed to be just as Asta said; it wasn't very revealing. She felt a sense of relief.
"That's right. How about it? Did you sleep well yesterday?"
Asta asked.
"It was alright!"
Noelle tossed her hair, regaining her Princess-like tsundere attitude.
"Very well, now let's start the quick massage!"
Asta said, turning Noelle over. His face was solemn and serious, his heart pure and clean, and his hands began to knead meticulously like a professional bone-setting master.
"That... do you have to massage that area too?"
Noelle blushed, trying to cover it with her hand.
"Of course. This area is very important. If it's not relaxed, it will cause strain!"
Asta said seriously.
"Alright then!"
Noelle let go.
"So comfortable..."
Noelle soon happily narrowed her eyes. Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and both of them were startled.
"Who is it?"
Noelle asked, trying to remain calm.
"Little Noelle, it's me!"
Vanessa said with a smile.
"Vanessa, big sister, why are you here so early!"
Noelle opened the door and asked, surprised.
"Isn't someone here even earlier than me?"
Vanessa looked at Asta and laughed teasingly.
"Vanessa, big sister, you're here for a massage too, right?"
Asta said.
"Yes. Have you finished massaging Noelle?"
Vanessa asked.
"Yes, I have. Since you're here, lie down!"
Asta pointed to the bed...
"Little Noelle, you won't be jealous, will you?"
Vanessa asked.
"How could I? Asta and I don't have any relationship!"
Noelle waved her hand dismissively.
"Then this big sister won't stand on ceremony!"
Vanessa said, lying carelessly on the bed. After a while, she complained, "Why aren't you massaging so many other areas?"
Asta:...
He would have liked to, but Noelle had been watching from the side like a tiger stalking its prey. Those pink eyes, filled with killing intent, seemed to be saying that if he dared to massage those areas, she would kill him!
Noelle:...
Is this the difference between a girl and a woman? She was annoyed that Asta massaged too many areas, but Vanessa was actually complaining that he didn't massage enough!
"Can you massage my waist a bit more? That warm energy entering my body feels really comfortable!"
Vanessa said coquettishly.
"Alright, alright, I'll satisfy you. But Vanessa, big sister, you can't just rely on massages every day without exercise. You need a balance of work and rest!"
Asta said earnestly. After all, who knew how his relationship with Vanessa might develop in the future? If she were to become his woman, he had to make sure she maintained her figure!
"Then I'll just follow you and exercise every day!"
Vanessa readily agreed.
"And me!"
Noelle said quickly. She wouldn't give any other woman the chance to be alone with Asta!
"Alright then. After we get back, I'll take you both training. And with me watching the whole time, there won't be any risk of overtraining. By then, not only will you be healthy, but your figures will also get better and better!"
Asta smiled with satisfaction.
"Really?"
Noelle's eyes lit up. As expected, what a young girl cares about most is her own physical development!
"You're so full of energy!"
Vanessa sighed, then got up from the bed. She was hungry!
"Let's go eat. By the time we finish, it should be time to set off!" Asta said.
"You guys go ahead, I'll be there shortly!" Noelle said.
"Understood!" Vanessa glanced at Noelle's little pajamas, understood instantly, and then followed Asta to the cafeteria.
