I'm sorry for not being able to update, I've been feeling out of it but I'm back!

              Asta and Noelle talked about their day, well it was mostly just Asta telling his friend about what he did with the restaurant girl.  Noelle only gave silent nods, or huffs in response. Those were enough for Asta as he continued on eagerly, making large motions with his hands to emphasize his point. Supposedly he and Rebecca had gone shopping in Nean, ate together, then went to swim at the lake near her house. "It was AMAZING! She tried teaching me to swim but I'm not that good! HAHAHAHA!" Asta's laugh brought a small smile to the Royal's face as much as she didn't like the fact that he spent time with a love rival. At that thought, an idea popped into her head.

         "Ano... Bakasta. How about we go to the lake in Nean and I could try and teach you to swim. I am a royal so obviously I can teach you something as easy as that." Noelle looked at the wood floor of her room, trying to avoid the silver-head's gaze. "Hooooooo! Really Noelle?! That'd be amazing! I'll go tell Rebecca so we can all go together! We'll be leaving tomorrow!!" Wait what. Asta bolted up from the ground, grabbed Noelle's face, gave it a small squeeze, yelled a thank you and ran out her door.

After he had exited, there was a loud yell. He probably forgot about the trapped hallway. Noelle sighed. He had completely missed her point and she was honestly very very disappointed. The Royal propped herself up and made her way downstairs towards the rest of the guild.

The only people who wee still in the guild house were Finral, Charmy, Vanessa, and Magna. Hearing a shy pitter-patter coming from the stairwell, they all turned their heads to meet the eyes of the princess of the Black Bulls. Looking away from her friends, she makes her way towards her four other guild mates. "U-um, everyone... could you accompany me to to the beach in Nean w-with Asta and Rebecca?" At the last girls name, she makes a face.

Vanessa leans over the small coffee table, a smirk plastered on her beautiful face. "Oooh? Why do you need us there?" Noelle blushed slightly but it quickly dissipated remembering that all her courage she had mustered for her date was wasted on a stupid village girl. Finral and Vanessa's eyebrows quirked up. They looked at each other then looked back at the silver-head in front of them. "Well if that's what you really want then I'm fine with it. Plus there'll be a bunch of cute girls there!!! I'm down!" A large glow shined in his brown eyes. Vanessa only rolled her eyes at his antics and smiled at the younger girl in front of her.

"If that's what you really want, then well go with you." Vanessa smiled sweetly. She looked at Magna and Charmy who then nodded in agreement. At this, Noelle smiled a bit, genuine happiness bursting through her chest.

That faithful couldn't come any sooner. In front of the base, Asta, Noelle, Magna, Charmy, Finral, and Vanessa were standing with all their beach gear.  "OI FINRAL! Hurry the fuck up I wanna get to the beach already!!" Magna yelled out. Finral struggled with his and Vanessa's bags, sweating a little. "Allright I got it sheesh!" Once he finally reaches stability, he opens up a portal large enough for all of them to fit. "ALL RIGHT HERE WE GOO!!" Asta yelled out before running though the portal.

It's gonna be a long day...  Noelle sighed.
