[Asta's Treehouse, Asta]

Good thing I woke up before Leo, I could prepare him lunch and offer him the stuffed animal I bought yesterday. Now that I think about it, when he sleeps, he snores like a lion... 'That's cute.'

I just noticed but... I think I'm observed but it's not a human it looks more ... something supernatural. 'It's not hostile.' not worth giving too much importance to it. Oh, the snoring stopped, he must be waking up now.

[Leopold]

"Mornin' Sleeping Beauty" I hear Asta, but I don't see him in the bed. I decide to get up and look around and I see him near the table where there is lunch 'It's smells good.' "Morning! What did you make, it smells so good!" "Hmm, you're hungry, am I wrong? Well, it's just a basic meal nothing more. Here, your plate." So we eat quietly and it's really delicious ! But after a while, I start to feel observed... I think Asta feels it too, but he didn't care, it's probably out of danger then.

"That's remind me, I bought you something from the Capital, but I forgot to give you yesterday so... here, for you." He hands me a lion stuffed animal "It's beautiful, thank you very much!" I said by kissing him, I managed to get him a smile! "It was reminding me you, so I bought it." It just took me by surprise because I can feel my face turn red and I make a slightly embarrassed smile. "Thank you..." "Oh, but it's nothing." I look at him surprised by what he just said when he just smiles 'I'm lucky to have him...'

[Somewhere in the forest]

It's been a while now that a strange creature is watching Asta and Leopold with shock. Indeed, it hadn't seen Asta wandering in the forest for a long time, and when he returns, he is accompanied 'Asta is back! But who is he? He usually never brings anyone with him...' "Hey Kyle, what are you staring at?!" A voice appears in the distance. The creature named Kyle, walks to his friend "Nothing, just that Asta came back and he took a person with him." He answered, still in shock. "A-Asta?! He's back?! But it's great, we have to tell the others! Hold on... You say he's with someone?" Kyle nod. "Hmm... it must be someone important then... Come on, we're going to announce Asta's return."

[Asta's Treehouse, Asta]

'We're not observed anymore.' Now that I think about it, I feel like I know the 'things' that were watching us... Strange. "Tell me Asta, can we visit your village? I want to see what it looks like..." Leo asked me in a hesitant voice. 'Maybe he's afraid I'm going to react badly...' "Of course, anything for you, baby." Wait, He called me Baby!' thought Leo while blushing like crazy. "Yay!" I must admit, his excitement makes me ... happy.
