Leaving the hospital building lobby in the Minato District, the awkward atmosphere that had briefly overshadowed Charlie and Mahiru gradually melted away, replaced by a refreshing enthusiasm.
Given that the doctor's three-day "fasting" verdict would only officially take effect tomorrow, today belonged entirely to the two of them.
They decided not to head straight back to the apartment, choosing instead to turn the remainder of the day into a sweet and unforgettable date.
Their first destination was a premium movie theater in the Roppongi area.
Inside the cool, dimly lit theater studio, Mahiru sat incredibly close to Charlie's side.
Throughout the screening of the romance film, their fingers remained tightly intertwined atop the armrest, sharing warmth in the midst of the darkness.
Mahiru would occasionally rest her head on Charlie's shoulder, enjoying the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, feeling as though the outside world, which was filled with terror, had completely vanished.
After the movie, they spent the afternoon taking a leisurely stroll through a city park surrounded by lush green trees.
Under a twilight sky that was slowly turning an orange-purple hue, they walked side by side like any ordinary young couple.
While enjoying ice cream bought from a roadside stall, Mahiru laughed out loud—a pure, unburdened laugh that had not been heard for a very long time since the string of tragedies befell her life.
Gazing at that smile, Charlie tightened his embrace around the girl's slender waist, vowing in his heart to destroy anyone who dared to snatch away this happiness again.
However, the innocence of that afternoon date instantly evaporated without a trace the moment night fell and they stepped back inside the apartment unit.
The moment the front door was closed and locked tight, the atmosphere inside the room instantly shifted, becoming heavily laden with an explosive sexual tension.
Aware that starting tomorrow at dawn Charlie would have to begin a grueling, full three days of abstinence, Mahiru chose to cast all her embarrassment aside.
The girl set her bag down, turned around, and immediately wrapped both of her arms around Charlie's neck, gazing up at the youth with a heavy, submissive look.
Without needing any cue, Charlie instantly ambushed Mahiru's sweet lips, devouring them in a deep kiss.
Their clothes came off one by one along the corridor leading to the bedroom, left scattered across the floor.
That night, Mahiru truly dedicated her entire body and soul to accommodate the full libido and mighty energy of the Level 6 Adventurer.
Atop the constantly creaking bed, union after union occurred with an intensity far wilder than in previous days.
Charlie pumped mercilessly, exploring every warm corner of Mahiru's sacred cave, which by now had become completely accustomed to his megapolis size.
"Ah... ahh! Charlie... kun! More... fill me up more...!"
Mahiru moaned, her consciousness already drifting at the peak of release.
The intimate sound of slapping skin and the Angel's erotic groans echoed, filling the dark bedroom.
Every time Charlie was on the verge of the limit, Mahiru would always lock the youth's waist with both of her smooth thighs, refusing to allow the giant asset to be pulled out.
As a consequence, the thick, hot, and dense fluid was spurted repeatedly, directly striking her cervix, flooding the deepest part of Mahiru's body with none of it going to waste.
"..."
That hot activity continued until late into the night in a dynamic that was both exhausting and intoxicating.
The intimacy performed multiple times without pause eventually caused Mahiru's initially flat lower abdomen to gradually appear bloated, slightly taut, and sated by the accumulation of Charlie's life fluid filling her womb until it overflowed onto the bedsheets.
Mahiru lay flat on her back, panting heavily, staring down at her warm, bloated stomach with a tired yet triumphant smile, satisfied at having successfully drained the passion of the man she loved before the fasting period began.
"..."
Lying comfortably on top of Charlie's warm, broad chest, Mahiru played with her fingers against the youth's skin.
The bedroom atmosphere had returned to a calm state, leaving only the steady sound of their breathing after the exhausting storm of passion.
"Charlie-kun... school officially starts back up tomorrow." Mahiru whispered softly, breaking the silence of the night.
Charlie, who was caressing strand after strand of Mahiru's smooth, soft blonde hair, gave a faint nod.
"Yeah. After all, the ministry of education can't keep canceling school indefinitely, even if there was a terrorist incident."
"But, from the information I gathered, there are many parents who have requested to transfer their children to other schools deemed safer. So, most likely, the number of Seijo High School students showing up tomorrow won't be as many as you remember."
Mahiru did not seem surprised to hear that fact. Her eyes stared blankly into the darkness of the bedroom.
"If possible... I want to transfer schools too, Charlie-kun. But I know it would all be useless." The girl exhaled a heavy breath, laden with resignation. "The Abyssal Devourer is targeting me and Fujimiya-kun. No matter where we go or hide, that creature will definitely keep chasing us."
A brief pause ensued before Mahiru gently squeezed the skin of Charlie's chest.
"Charlie-kun... I don't want to go to school anymore."
The movement of Charlie's hand caressing Mahiru's hair stopped.
He did not interrupt her immediately; instead, he remained quiet in a listening posture, waiting for the girl in his arms to continue sharing her heart.
Mahiru propped herself up slightly, resting on both elbows atop Charlie's chest to look directly into the white-haired youth's eyes.
"I want the two of us to go far away... go as far away as possible from this place, far from modern society."
"I don't want anyone else to have to die just because they are near me. Is that alright, Charlie-kun?"
Seeing Mahiru's eyes begin to well up, holding back a flood of tears, Charlie reached out his hands, pulling the girl's body back into his embrace, and then whispered incredibly gently right next to her ear.
"Of course it's alright, Mahiru. Whatever you want in this world, I will definitely make it happen for you."
"What does it matter if you drop out of school? For ordinary people, they pursue higher education to chase a future and a better life. But you are different. You have me by your side now. I guarantee... I will take you to live a new life that would make any woman in this world feel envious if they knew about it."
Given the depth of the emotional and physical bond that had been forged between them all this time, it was impossible for Charlie to just leave Mahiru behind in this world.
Charlie was absolutely certain that with Mahiru's mental state having been shattered and then pieced back together by him, if he ever dared to leave her alone, the girl would definitely take a shortcut to suicide without hesitation.
The mentality of people in Japan was indeed known to be quite fragile and extreme when faced with emotional despair.
As for how to bring Mahiru along with him to the Danmachi Planar World, Charlie did not feel troubled by it at all.
He planned to use the special reward quota he obtained from completing the Quest.
After all, the case of bringing Shirogane Kei previously was a special exception.
As to whether using a valuable reward just to bring an ordinary woman along was considered a waste, that all depended on the perspective from which one viewed it.
To other ambitious Saviors, Charlie's actions might be judged as a foolish extravagance. But to Charlie, this was completely worth it.
With the accumulation of various abilities he currently possessed, that capital was more than enough to sustain him for a long time to know.
"Charlie-kun!"
Hearing Charlie's agreement, a flush of joy blossomed on Mahiru's face. The heavy burden that had been pressing down on her shoulders all this time seemed to evaporate without a trace.
With overflowing emotional feelings, she immediately brought her face forward, kissing Charlie's cheek repeatedly with deep affection.
"Thank you, Charlie-kun...! I love you... I love you so, so much to the point that I feel like I won't be able to live anymore if you aren't by my side."
Charlie wiped away a small tear at the corner of the girl's eye before replying with the same intensity.
"I love you very much too, Mahiru."
Hearing the reply of love from her boyfriend's lips, Mahiru smiled with relief.
She rested her head spoiledly back into the crook of Charlie's neck, hugging the youth's waist tightly with their legs intertwined beneath the warm blanket.
Under the cover of the late night and the silence of the apartment, the two lovers gradually closed their eyes, drifting off into the dream world together.
