It had been a long day for you, and encountering a new member out of the blue wasn’t something you had anticipated. After a grueling day of missions and training, you were in no mood for surprises.

Upon seeing him, it was clear that the other Black Bull members had already taken a liking to him, even the captain. You found it irritating how effortlessly someone like Asta could charm everyone. His boundless energy and relentless optimism grated on your nerves.

But for Asta, things were different. He noticed you and wanted to greet you properly. However, you swiftly retreated to your room, avoiding him for the rest of the night. The next morning, you woke up with a scorching headache and a growling stomach. As you prepared to leave your room, there he was, standing at your door.

“Hello! My name is Asta! I don’t think we’ve properly met—” He cut himself off, rubbing the back of his head with a sheepish smile. His face was tinged with a light pink blush as he admired you in that moment, seemingly unaware of how obvious his admiration was.
