Chapter 21

Madara and Astrea spent a few weeks in Hekylo village after the bandit raid at the request of the village chief and was given the title as the hero of the village. During those weeks Madara's relationship with Sol also changed a little bit as she becomes shy whenever he is around and will sometimes space out like Astrea but the most important change was that she started to train hard and even asked Madara to train her after Astrea told her that she has been training with Madara. Madara agreed and trained her in some Earth Release jutsu and before he left the village, he bought some jutsu scrolls for her to study.

Currently, You could see Astrea fighting against dozens of thunder wolves while Madara sat atop a tree with a bag of cookies in his hand while watching the fight.

Astrea was dressed in her usual combat attire and had her sword in hand which was burning in her flames as she channelled her flames through it to make it extremely sharp.

SWOOSH!!

Astrea was able to easily exterminate a bunch of the thunder wolves with a flaming slash and continue to hunt them down with an amazing speed that made the wolves fearful of her.

SHREIK!!

The remaining thunder wolves shrieked in fright as the seemingly harmless girl turn out to be a demon. They turned quickly to run away but they couldn't as they were trapped by the ground they stood upon even before they decided to run.

Astrea gave Madara a side glance when she noticed that the wolves have been trapped on the ground and decided to use a magic spell to kill off the remaining thunder wolves instead of using her sword.

With that decision made, Astrea inhaled a massive amount of air and unleashed a massive amount of flames from her mouth.

'Flame Magic: Breath of a dragon.'

FWOOSH!!

Astrea unleashed a tremendous amount of flames that covered more than a hundred meters of radius and burnt everything within it to ashes.

"*Huff*... *Huff*"

Astrea started to catch her breath after she cancelled the spell. That spell took a little over half of her mana reserves and it was also unnecessary to use such a big attack on those thunder wolves but because she wanted to impress Madara, she did and it worked as she could see a tiny smile on his lips.

"That's impressive but also reckless, that attack took more than half of your mana reserve. The reason I trapped them was so they don't run away as you couldn't keep up with their speed, Sigh!"

Madara got down from the tree and admonished Astrea for that attack even though he knew why she did it then he sighed.

"Anyway, there is no use complaining about spilt milk, is there? Do you have a swimsuit? Astrea."

'Why would you ask me that, Madara.'

Astrea became extremely flustered when she heard Madara's question and started fantasizing about doing naughty things with Madara on the beach but she hasn't seen a beach before then she was brought back to reality when she heard Madara cough at her.

"Cough! Can you focus for a second?"

"S-Sorry, Madara. I didn't mean to lose focus like that. I don't have a swimsuit, why do you ask that?"

Astrea became even more flustered when she realized she was caught by Madara.

"I have decided on the next location to start your next train and we will need a swimsuit."

"Huh! Why would we need a swimsuit for training?"

"You will know when you get there, now enter."

Madara created a purple swirling portal for them to go through using his space-time manipulation, Astrea wasn't surprised at the sight and just entered as Madara asked her to with no fear. Ever since she started following Madara she has gotten used to his god-like prowess and also from the story he told her about him made her aware that he wasn't from here.

Anyway, after Madara and Astrea entered the portal, it disappeared and then materialized somewhere in an alleyway of the castle town Kikka and they came out.

"Hmm! Madara, where are we?"

Astrea asked in confusion as she looked around her surroundings because she was expecting something fancier than this.

"We are in one of the big towns of the Clover kingdom, Kikka. I opened the portal here so we could not attract unwanted attention, this way, follow me."

Madara explained to Astrea as he knew that this was her first time coming to a place like this so she may be confused. Madara then started walking after he told Astrea to follow him and they came into the busy streets.

"Stay close to me if you don't want to get lost."

Astrea nodded her head but then an idea came into his mind as she realized that this is a lifetime opportunity that she can't let it pass by her.

"C-Can I hold your hand while we are here, if you don't mind that is?"

Astrea had a red face at the prospect of holding hands with the man that has conquered her heart but she also became nervous about whether if Madara will allow her or not but that nervousness went away when Madara nodded his head and she quickly took his right hand into her hand.

'Aah! I can't believe I'm holding hands with him, it feels so amazing. His hand is as smooth as a baby's butt yet firm like steel, it's wonderful.'

Astrea fell into her world of fantasies as she imagine herself being held by the firm hands of Madara and steam started coming out of her as the imagination got vulgar.

'Is she having a meltdown again?'

Madara gave side glances to steaming Astrea and thought to himself. He had been aware of Astrea's feelings for a while now and had admitted that he also feels the same way about her but he thinks it's too early to start a relationship with someone at the moment.

Madara and Astrea silently went through the crowd of people and arrived at the destination which was a bikini shop.

"It's anyone here?!"

Madara shouted to get the attention of whoever is the shop owner and a few seconds later a hot milf came from a door behind the counter and she was wearing a very attractive bikini.

"Oh my, a handsome customer. How may I help you, kind sir."

The woman murmured the first part of her sentence but both Madara and Astrea he'd her loud and clear made Astrea annoyed as someone else was checking out her man.

"Nothing much, I came to look for some swimsuits for my friend here."

Madara pointed to Astrea as he answered the woman's question.

"You have come to the right place, young master."

'She went from kind sir to young master? What will she call me next? My lord maybe.'

"So young lady, what is your preference? We have many types of swimsuits for you to try out and find what suit you the most."

The woman pulled Astrea away and started showing different kinds of bikinis from sexy ones to unspeakably lewd ones which turned Astrea into a blushing mess. She tried out many swimsuits and with the help of Madara as the judge ended up buying more than a dozen bikinis but Madara didn't mind that as they will spend a lot of time at where they will be going next so he paid for all of them.

"Thanks for doing business with me, my lord."

The woman said enthusiastically as she watched Madara and Astrea exit the shop with a lot of shopping bags.

"Give them to me."

Madara took the shopping bags that Astrea was holding after they exited the shop and stored them in the system inventory before opening another portal and Astrea entered without waiting for Madara to tell her to. The reason for that was because during their shopping the shop owner told Astrea a little about the famous beach in the Clover kingdom.

Madara just shook his head at Astrea's sudden enthusiasm about the trip and entered the portal then it vanished.
