Beach!!!!

It was one Sunny Afternoon.

Julian put on his Sunglasses and lay on a comfortable chair with his boxers on. Above him was a big umbrella making a shed blocking the Sun Light.

To his left, Yami was laying on a chair too with a bottle of wine.

Most of the other Black Bulls members could be seen enjoying themselves on the beach especially Asta who found himself overwhelmed due to the number of activities he could do to have fun.

Even Kirin was enjoying himself with the others while being careful not to use his magic as lightning and water is a disaster.

The beach the Black Bulls were currently mostly a vacation place This place had mostly resorts for nobles and magic knights but it was not only for them.

There were local inhabitants who opened various shops around the shore like restaurants, pearls, clothes, etc.

This place is full of people all year round and has the most people around the start of the year when a festival happens called " Moon chase festival ".

There is a fish called Lunar which is arguably the most delicious fish.

It can only be caught during the new year as it migrates from another part of the ocean to here during that time.

During this time a lot of people come to whiteness the series of events that happen related to it like cooking contests, fishing contests, storytelling contests, parades, etc. all related to the lunar fish.

It is also rumored that mermaids come up the shore during this time of the year.

Although not many people have seen them those who have seen them said that they have otherworldly beauty.

They are said to be relatives of the sea spirit Leviathan who holds the power to destroy civilizations with a single attack so hunters stay away from harming them.

The territory of the sea is the most dangerous part of the nation so nobody with a sane mind doesn't go venturing into the sea.

The ocean here is part of a grand magic zone with water currents with enough power to tear your limbs apart.

Sometimes dead carcasses of beasts about the size of 200 m wash on the shore.

This is enough proof that how dangerous the seas or oceans are.

The Star award festival happens after this event but doesn't have a fixed date as it depends on many factors.

Unfortunately, the Black Bulls missed the Moon chase festival as it just ended a few days ago.

All of them were busy having new year celebrations so nobody remembered about the Moon chase festival.

*********

"Sorry for the wait guys!!!" Vanessa called out drawing everyone's attention to her.

Vanessa usually roamed in her underwear while she is in the base but her swimsuit was even more revealing.

Noelle wore a green bikini with gemstones which certainly brought some changes to Asta.

Charmy wore a pretty normal swimsuit in comparison to others only relieving her arms and legs.

Charlotte wore a blue bikini with a transparent piece of cloth over it even making Yami who was usually not interested in girls stare at her making Charlotte even more embarrassed.

Finally, Secre wore a black swimsuit and hid her face with a big hat as she was too embarrassed to show her face.

Julian froze seeing her and like Asta and Yami, blankly stared at her.

[Hmmm…..I would rate each one of them ten out of ten….but that's beside the topic…

Stop staring too much, you are looking like a creep kiddo]

Kirin's mental message brought out Julian his state.

"Ahm! Let's visit the other side of the beach" not giving Secre much time to say anything Julian dragged Secre somewhere else.

'You look gorgeous Secre' Julian whispered in her year holding her waist.

"T-thanks…..does this make you feel something?" she asked embarrassed.

"Yes…. it's making me want to eat you up," Julian said connecting his lips with hers.

…..

..

.

"Y-Yami as Captains we must do different activities than the r-rest. Come with me, I know a place to enjoy" Charlotte said her face becoming red every second.

Yami didn't speak and just followed her.

Charlotte's current appearance was enough to even melt a person like Yami.

"So~how is Noelle looking, Asta? She especially dressed like this for you" Vanessa teased Asta.

"Well Damn! Ahem! I mean, you look very beautiful Noelle" Asta replied clearly charmed.

"DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA! I DIDN'T DO IT FOR YOU OR ANYTHING!" Noelle lashed out.

"Hahah~well then you two enjoy yourselves, I will go enjoy myself, " Vanessa said leaving Asta and Noelle alone.

For the rest of the morning, all of them enjoyed themselves in different ways.

Gordon didn't like water much and mostly stayed under the umbrella.

Vanessa spent most of her time swimming.

Luck, Magna, and Kirin mostly played amongst themselves and participated in some games with the others.

Charmy spent her time fishing and cooking different new dishes for everyone.

Gauche connected his mirror to the one which he gave to his sister Marrie and showed her the beach.

Seeing so many beautiful women Finral couldn't control himself and went with his failed attempt to flirt while Grey took the form of him and followed his steps.

There was a sand sculpture-building competition among the Black Bulls members which was won was Gordon who made the most realistic structure of Yami.

Even the watermelon smashing game was played with Charmy taking the prize.

Some people tried hitting on Vanessa or Noelle but got death glare from all the other squad members making them run for their lives.

Finally, after having fun, everyone returned to the resort for a meeting.

Yami could be seen in his best mood after everything. Charlotte was very satisfied with the outcome as she got to see Yami's embarrassed expression that she had never seen before.

"Did you do something naughty with Julian?~" Vanessa asked Secre while changing.

Secre just nodded with a red face but didn't say anything no matter how much Vanessa pestered her.

With everyone dressed, it was time for a meeting.
