I may be running out of chapter names.Ehe~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Y/N) POV -
I didn't realize when I'd fallen asleep, but I woke up to the noise of a camera.
I opened my eye and saw that Paimon, Ae and Amber were clicking photos of me. I tried getting up, but something was on me.
I looked at it and realized why they were taking pictures. Noelle fell asleep on me!
"Looks like we got some nice blackmail material" Ae said.
You dare use my own spells against me Aether?
He noticed me and gave a smug grin.
"Now, now. We don't want Noelle to get up, do we?" he said.
That... woke her up.
Ae started panicking.
"Umm. Where am I?" Noelle said, still sleepy.
She didn't fully wake up and went back to sleep while covering herself with me wings.
"Fluffy" she mumbled as she fell asleep.
Ae, realizing that he was safe for now, clicked another picture as they ran away.
Mark my words, Vengeance will be mine!
I was getting bored so I decided to play with Noelle's hair.
She got up a few hours later, and this time fully.
"Whe- AHHHH! I'M SO SORRY MR. HONORARY KNIGHT!" she shouted while bowing.
I got her up and told her that it was no problem.
"You look cute while sleeping ;)" I wrote and she punched me in embracement... It might have been too strong because I went flying for a few meters.
"I'm so sorry!" she said, as she helped me up.
"No problem. But be ready for tomorrow, I'm going to make you go through a Spartan training session" I wrote.
She didn't understand what a spartan was, but was happy that I wasn't angry.
"Thanks for agreeing to my request Mr. honorary knight" she said as we started going towards Mond.
"You can call me Asmoday. I don't like all the honorary knight stuff coming from my friends" I wrote.
"O-ok... Asmoday" she responded.
Oh god, my heart just died.
When we returned I noticed that everyone was looking at us. That's weird. I was still wearing my mask.
We decided to ignore them and went to the HQ. Lisa and Amber were talking near the entrance and noticed us.
"Ara ara~ Our Noelle is growing" the horny MILF said as Amber started giggling.
Noelle - *Visible confusion*
We got away from them and bid farewell.(or whatever it's supposed to be. IDK shit about English)
"I'll see you tomorrow Hon- I mean Asmoday" she said with a smile as I went back.
When I returned home the first thing I saw was Ae and Paimon filling a bunch of letters with photos of me and Noelle, so I burned them.
"WHO THE FUCK DID THA- Oh.... Asmoday.... Paimon has something important to do, so Paimon will be leaving you two together to talk" Paimon said as she quickly floated away.
"Ehe?" Ae said before I tackled him into a playful hug, tickling him as he begged me to stop.
"Can you blame me? Both you you looked cute together" he said between his laughing fit as I stopped tickling.
"You don't tell anyone in Mond about that and I won't ask why Amber was walking weird a few days ago" I threatened him.
"Ehhhh! But I don't have to do that" he said.
I looked at him confused.
"Ah! So you didn't notice" he said as he removed a paper rose from my hair.
So that's why everyone was looking at us. It's the one Noelle gave me and same as the one she uses in her hair.
I covered my face with my mask and just sat on the couch, embarrassed.
Ae did an OwO face as he sat besides me.
"Don't worry, I can give great dating advice" he said.
"We're not dating! It was a gift and Noelle doesn't know the real meaning of a rose" I wrote.
"She's an adorable dork, huh?" he said.
"Says the guy whose GF didn't notice my missing arm till a dragon attacked me" I wrote.
"But you aren't denying that she's adorable" he said, hoping to embarrass me.
"Can't deny that" I wrote.
"So you gonna try something?" he asked.
"Not now you dummy! I've known her for 1 day. Maybe sometime in the future if we get closer :)" I wrote.
"If you say so" he said as he went to the kitchen to make dinner.

Noelle POV -
After I returned to my room, Amber and Lisa cornered me.
"W-what?" I asked.
"So, you proposed or something?" Amber asked, sitting on my bed.
"P-propose? Amber what are you talking about!?" I asked.
"Sweetie, don't think we didn't notice your crush on Asmoday, and the rose you gave him" Lisa said.
"What's up with the rose?" I asked.
Lisa chuckled and gave me a book. Does she keep random books with her?
I opened the book and read the meaning of a red rose... OH BARBATOS!
I covered my face in embarrassment and jumped on my bed.
"Uwahhh! He must think that I'm weird now" I mumbled with my face buried in a pillow.
"Don't worry about that. I'm sure he understands" Amber said.
"But the whole city saw him with the rose in the his hair. What if-" I tried to say but Lisa stopped me.
"No one will say anything bad. Our Amber is dating Aether and no one says anything" Lisa said.
"L-Lisa!" Amber shouted.
"No need to try and hide it Amber. I'm sure everyone noticed how you 'stubbed your toe' a few days" Lisa said.
I chuckled as they turned their attention towards me and tackled me into a group hug and all of us started laughing for no reason.
"O-ok guys, leave me. I have to go with Asmoday tomorrow" I told them while laughing.
"Didn't you just say that noting happened between you two? Amber asked me while giving a smug look.
"We're going to train!" I told her.
"Sure. 'Train'. Have fun ~" Lisa said as both of them left me.

*KING CRIMSON!*
(Y/N) POV -
Noelle came to our house at 5 in the morning. We were still sleeping when she came and I accidentally went to open the door with Paimon still sleeping in my wings.
I saw that it was Noelle and invited her inside, which woke Paimon up.
"Whomst has awoken the ancient one!?" she said, still hap asleep.
I patted her head and she went back to sleep.
Noelle found it funny and started giggling. I took Paimon back and pasted a note on her forehead saying that Noelle was here so I'm going now.
I returned and saw her in the kitchen.
"Oh, I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep so thought that I'd make you breakfast" she said as I joined her to help. I couldn't cook much because of my arm, but I was able to give her the ingredients she needed.
After some time her signature pancakes were ready and I invited her to join.
When I removed my mask to eat I saw that Noelle was staring at my face. Ah! It was her first time seeing my face. I booped her nose and she came back to reality.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare" she said.
I did a little wave, trying to tell her that it was no problem.
"If you don't mind me asking... can you tell me what happened to your eye?" she asked.
My face dropped. The memory of Lumine stabbing me was still quite fresh because of my memory. Noelle realized that it was something bad because of the way my face became and quickly apologized. We finished the breakfast in silence and left the house.
By the time we reached stormbearer mountains my mood had gone back to normal and I was looking forward to Noelle's training.
We did some warmup and I assured her that I wasn't angry because of her question as she began showing me what she could do.
Her geo vision gave her quite a boost but something felt wrong. Her physical strength was pretty high so she had been using her vision to boost her claymore's power. It was great in theory but didn't match her fighting style at all.
I asked her to try creating a shield around her and then try swinging her claymore. The shield covered the openings created by her attacks and it looked better. I found out that her biggest weakness was that she thought she was really weak and got nervous during exam.
I decided to spar with her. Perhaps defeating an honorary knight of Favonius would help her confidence.
"Are you sure?" she asked and I nodded.
I created a barrier of concentrated electro around me and attacked her with small electro arrows. She started attacking me and the shield was able to protect her.
I defended by making small overload shockwaves when her attack came near me and she couldn't damage me. Her shield was starting to break and she was getting hurt when she realized that I won't let her go away if she lost too fast. It wasn't an exam, it was a battle till one party collapsed.
The fear of dying triggered something inside her as she quickly got some distance and covered me with geo spikes. I tried flying away but Noelle jumped and attacked me with her strongest attack. By concentrating all her power in one swing, she was able to go past my barrier and she managed to cut my wings.
The pain was too much for me as I forgot that I was supposed to train Noelle for a second. I launched an electro spear at her but she barely deflected it with her geo covered claymore and attacked me.
K-KONO POWA!
When the fight was over both of us were laying next to each other. Her attacking my wings early in the battle caused her to win.
My wounds had healed but wings were still damaged. Noelle broke her wrist because of deflecting the electro spear but only had scratches on rest of her body.
We patched her up and sat under a tree to rest.
"Asmoday, thank you. Because of you I learned a lot of things" she said.
I gave her a smile as we rested for some time. When my wings had stopped hurting I picked Noelle up and started flying.
It was already night time and it would take us too long to walk back.
Noelle panicked at first but calmed down when we saw the night sky while flying.
"Pretty" she said as she looked up. Was that meant for the sky or me?
Seemed like she realized it too and started blushing.
"Y-you're handsome too" she mumbled as I started blushing.
We reached the waypoint and teleported back. I took her to Barbara and she healed Noelle.
Noelle was about to leave for the HQ but gave me a small kiss on my cheek.
"Thank you" she said before running away.
She didn't realize what she just did. Right?
I smiled as I returned home.
