'Hmm…smooth…'
*RUB RUB*
'…soft…comfortable…'
*RUB RUB*
'…nice'
Wilhelm hummed in content as he rubbed himself…
"Eeeep…"
…on Noelle's thigh who was blushing like a tomato, but did not move when Wilhelm rubbed his head on her thigh.
'Umm….aa…I should not move much right? It is all for Wilhelm's health anyway, hmph!' Noelle thought as she fanned herself from overheating far too much.
This sight did not escape from the eyes of Vanessa, who was drinking with Finral and Magna.
"Ahh…they look so cute together. Like a pair of dolls." Vanessa commented with a red on her cheeks due to one too many drinks she had.
"Eh, watcha' ya on 'bout?" Magna said with a scrunched-up expression.
"Don't hurt your peanut-sized brain. Shoo, go away." Vanessa commented with a scrunched-up expression as if she was shooing away a dog.
"You bitc-!"
"Now now, stop fighting you two. It is a nice day at the beach. Relax, like our juniors."
"WHOAAAA!!!"
"…Well, ignore Asta. He is…special." Finral said, putting it politely.
Back to the pair, Wilhelm was showing visible signs of stirring awake. Seeing it, unconsciously, Noelle began to use her magic to cool her hand's temperature that was caressing Wilhelm's face.
"Umm…do mow…" With an unintelligent sound escaping his mouth, Wilhelm nuzzled his face in Noelle's palm, who also brought it close to his face in return.
'He looks cute…Nehhh!!! (˶˃⤙˂˶)' Noelle thought as she later started to shake her head left and right as if snapping herself out of the reverie she had brought herself into.
But this action also disturbed Wilhelm's peaceful slumber.
'Hmm…where…' Wilhelm thought as he squinted because the light from the sun that peered through the shade of the umbrella disoriented him a bit, following which he shook his head.
Opening his eyes wider and allowing them to adjust to the light, he took a once over at his surroundings.
'Hmm…where am I?... Wait, Noell-'
"Argh!" He grunted in pain because he moved a bit seeing Noelle, which caused the pain in his body to flare up due to injury.
"Wilhelm, are you okay?" Noelle quickly asked in a worried tone, snapping out of her thoughts of shyness and denial.
"Nothin-*grunts*-ing!" Wilhelm replied through gritted teeth and he tried to get up but was stopped from moving any further by the gentle yet firm hand of Noelle.
"Don't move. You are badly injured." Noelle said with her eyes settled onto Wilhelm's, leaving no room for argument. Seeing this, Wilhelm kept on looking into her eyes for what seemed like almost an eternity when…
*THRUM*
"NEEH!!!"
…his body burst into fire and immediately relieved him of all pain in his body.
"…Fine." But he still collapsed onto a surprised Noelle's thighs, took her palm, placing on his cheek, and…
…drifted off to sleep.
"…"
'Wha-wha-what happened?' Noelle thought, with her jaw quivering and not able to even form a coherent thought. Something that Wilhelm knew all too well.
'Hmm…thighs are nice.' Wilhelm thought as if he had discovered some hidden truth.
Basking in the comfort of Noelle's thighs, who with much effort was finally able to calm herself, and was moving her hand through Wilhelm's hair.
Something that he did not like.
Trust him.
He is not the one to lie at all.
…
"Noelle."
"Hmm?"
"Noelle~"
"What?"
"No~elle~"
"What is your problem?"
"Well, I happen to have fallen for an absolutely stunning noble girl…"
"Eeep~"
"…with milky soft skin…"
"(๑﹏๑//)"
"…snow white hair…"
"(˶𖦹﹏𖦹˶)"
"…and lips that make me want to-"
"Neehh!! St-stop spouting"
Noelle made a weird, cute noise as she shut Wilhelm's mouth with a frantic expression, at which Wilhelm just gave her a smirk with his eyes and…
"Wha!"
…licked Noelle's palm over his face, which caused her to involuntarily take her hand back. Then, unceremoniously Wilhelm sat up from her lap and stood up too.
*YAWN*
He yawned as he extended his hands in either direction, stretching his back in the process. During this time, Noelle too got up from the sandy beach and dusted the sand off from her sundress.
Then he turned back to Noelle who had regained control of her emotions but still had a healthy blush on her cheeks.
"Fill me in on what led to me being treated to a lap pillow from Her Highness."
Ignoring what Wilhelm said at last for her sake, Noelle said with a satisfied smile, "Hmph, you were brought here all beaten and bruised by Captain Yami. Pitying you, I decided to help you, not because I like you or anything, just because it would not look bad on me if someone in your state was seen accompanying a royal."
"…"
*Walks Forward*
*Hugs*
"Thank you Noelle for taking care of me." Wilhelm said, ignoring all of the nonsense Noelle had spouted which shut her right up and freeze in her steps.
*PUFF*
And a small explosion occurred in her head.
Then without waiting for another word from her, Wilhelm left the shade of the umbrella and made his way to the warm light of the sun.
'Huh, so that's how that went.
When I fought those undead during the Capital attack using a sword, I thought that I was good at close-quarters-combat, but I am proven wrong it seems.
My reaction speed is sh*t, and that is putting it lightly. I suffer from tunnel vision a lot when I engage myself in a fight. Not to mention, I am not very good at handling pain.
I guess, Captain Yami was right, as much as I am good at distant fighting, I am just that much bad in close-quarters combat.
But how do I solve this…'
He contemplated as he left footprints behind on the sand. A gentle sea breeze hit his face, giving him a soothing calm.
'Wait, tunnel vision. The problem that plagues me is not lack of strength or speed. Beast magic helps in both of these. My real problem is tunnel vision because I am not able to SEE due to the speed, not the speed itself.
Tunnel vision is not something one can cure himself of just because one wants to, but with a bit of magic and engineering, it can be achieved.'
He thought looking at a fly on the bottom of the palm tree.
'It definitely can be achieved.'
He spoke internally as he walked as if he had an enlightenment.
…
Soon, the light of the sun was replaced by the light of the moon. In the dark of the night, Wilhelm was walking with Asta.
"…then Yuno and I went to a flower garden to create something for sister Lily, but then we walked into a bee hive, whose bees chased after us and stung me Yuno, which caused Sister Lily to look after us."
"Why am I not surprised?" Wilhelm said rhetorically as he rolled his eyes.
"Hahaha~" Asta laughed at this while scratching his head.
Then suddenly, a sound came.
"𝄞 ~ 𝄞 ~♪ ~"
"Hmm…you hear that?"
"Yeah, it sounds like someone is…singing." Asta replied to Wilhelm's question using his borderline inhuman ears.
"Singing this late at night…" Wilhelm muttered to himself as he spoke to Asta.
"Asta, let's go." Wilhelm said to Asta and continued to walk in the direction where the mesmerizing song was coming from without waiting for Asta.
"Wait for me!" Asta said as he broke into a fast walk to catch up to Wilhelm.
As they went closer, the sound started to become clearer, and the song became enchanting. As if his legs had a mind of their own, he started to move towards it, the same was the case with Asta, and finally got a look at the source of the sound.
A girl.
A girl was singing on a giant rock that seemed like a stage for her and behind her shone the moon like a spotlight. She seemed unbothered by the world and focused deeply on her music that she sang with closed eyes and an ethereal expression.
Seeing such a beautiful and captivating scene, Wilhelm had only one thought in his mind.
'…Noelle is more beautiful.'
But this thought caused him to snap out of his trance-like state.
"Hmm, where did that come from?" He said it out loud in favor of thinking.
"Where did what come from?" Asta who was standing beside him and was equally captivated by the scene turned to Wilhelm with a confused expression at his out-of-the-place words.
But this sound also fell into the girl's ears which caused the girl who was singing to stop singing and look in their direction. Then she jumped from her place and landed on the ground without so much as a wince on her face due to colliding with the floor.
Then in an instant, she appeared in front of the pair of Black Bulls.
"Who are you?" She asked keeping a finger on her lips…
"Oh, I am Asta and he is Wilhelm. We are from Black Bulls"
…but instead of thinking of her reply, Wilhelm was thinking something else.
'She is durable and fast. She did not use any magic when she jumped from the top of the gigantic piece of rock, and neither did she use any magic when she dashed so fast at us.
Her physique is like Asta's without any of the muscle. She is definitely not just a normal girl.
Better to cast an illusion on us just in case.'
He ended his train of thought as he cast an imperceptible layer of illusion.
Then with a warm smile on his face, he said, "Hello, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too. I am Kahono." Kahono introduced herself.
Then turning to the pair mirroring Wilhelm's smile, Kahono leaned forward a bit and said, "So, does that mean you are Magic Knights, right?"
"Yeah, we are. Look at our robes." Asta replied as he pointed to the crest on the robes, seeing which Kahono's smile widened, she reached out her hand and said, "Give me money."
"Sure…wait, what?" Wilhelm said but was thrown off by the unexpected comment, and looked at her as if he had heard wrong but her face said he did not.
"What? Is it not right to give money to an artist when you enjoy their art, hmm?" Kahono ended her statement with an inquisitive hum.
"Well, fair enough. Here you go." Wilhelm replied, agreeing with her words, and reached into her pocket to fish out a couple of gold coins that he gave to Kahono, who looked utterly gobsmacked.
"( ˶°ㅁ°) !!"
"What? You asked for it, and you, why are you surprised?" Wilhelm ended his statement by looking at Asta, who too looked at him just like Kahono did.
"So much money…do you know how many tomatoes we could have eaten with this?" Asta said with an urgent look on his face.
"Far too many." Wilhelm said to Asta before turning to Kahono who snapped herself out of her reverie and said, "Hey, Wilhelm, right?"
"Hmm…"
"Do you, I mean know people who are in entertainment?"
"No. Where did you get that idea from?" Wilhelm said with a weirded-out look.
"I mean, you look like someone who does." Kahono replied to which Asta gave him a scrutinizing look and said, "Now that I think about it…you do look like someone who is in entertainment."
"Well, then I am sorry to disappoint you that I am not someone who I look like. Why do you ask though?" He asked off-handedly.
"It is quite embarrassing but since I was young it has been my longtime wish to become an idol." Kahono replied to his question with stars in her eyes gazing into the distance.
"Good for you I guess." Wilhelm replied a bit unsure, not knowing the correct way to answer the Kahono who started to confide in them.
"Yeah Kahono, that is a great dream! You should totally go for it!" Asta on the other hand commented, totally believing every bit of his words.
'Huh, Asta does comment with his heart, and I find it hard to compliment people for even the greatest of things truthfully.
I guess this is an instinct for someone who uses illusion magic.'
