The next morning.
Fujiwara Ai slowly opened his eyes and immediately felt a heavy weight pressing against his body.
Looking down, he discovered Yotsuya Miko clinging tightly onto him like an octopus.
Her long black hair spread messily across the pillow, while the small face that usually carried traces of fear now showed a peaceful and completely satisfied sleeping expression.
He slightly moved his arm, only for the movement to instantly wake the girl sleeping in his embrace.
“Mmm…”
Miko drowsily opened her eyes.
The moment she saw Fujiwara Ai, she blanked out briefly before revealing an incomparably bright smile.
“Good morning, Ai kun.”
Her voice sounded soft and hoarse from sleep, sweet enough to make someone’s heart tremble.
Then she naturally leaned closer and gently kissed him on the lips.
“Morning kiss.”
Fujiwara Ai quietly looked at her.
This girl had changed tremendously.
The cautious probing and uncertainty she carried before had completely disappeared, replaced by confident intimacy.
Now she no longer looked like someone desperately searching for shelter.
She looked more like the mistress of this house.
“Morning.”
Fujiwara Ai reached out and gently tidied the messy bangs covering her forehead.
“Does it still hurt?”
The instant he asked that question, Miko’s face instantly turned bright red.
She buried her face against his chest before quietly whispering:
“A little…
but I’m really happy.”
Fujiwara Ai helplessly smiled.
Just as he was about to continue speaking, the system that remained silent throughout the entire night suddenly exploded inside his mind.
[Ding!

[Description: Passive effect.
No matter the distance separating you, both parties may sense each other’s location and safety.
Cooldown: 7 days.]
Fujiwara Ai silently stared at the endless reward notifications appearing before him and genuinely felt dazzled.
Charisma 85?
God’s Eye?
Instant teleportation?
Did this system just empty its entire treasury?
“System…
are you trying to make me stop working hard?”
He silently complained inwardly.
[Ding!
Conquest is merely the beginning.
Maintaining harmony afterward is the true long term challenge.
As your charisma continues increasing, the battlefields of love you face will only grow more complicated.
Please remain mentally prepared, host.]
“…”
Sure enough, there was no such thing as a free lunch.
“Ai kun?
What’s wrong?”
Noticing Fujiwara Ai becoming distracted, Miko lazily traced circles against his chest with her finger.
“Were you thinking about another woman again?”
Although her tone sounded playful, the dangerous gleam hidden inside her eyes clearly proved she wasn’t joking.
Fujiwara Ai returned to his senses before grabbing that mischievous hand.
“I was thinking about how to keep you well fed.”
He casually made up an excuse before immediately trying out his newly acquired [God Tier Massage] skill.
His fingers lightly pressed against Miko’s waist with perfect force, accurately finding every sore pressure point.
“Ah…
mmn…”
Miko immediately let out a comfortable moan as her body softened like water.
“Ai kun…
you’re incredible…”
“Natural talent.”
Fujiwara Ai calmly replied without changing expression.
The two remained tangled together in bed for quite a while before finally surrendering to their protesting stomachs and getting up reluctantly.
Washing up.
Cooking breakfast.
This time Miko insisted on holding the ladle herself.
Although Fujiwara Ai possessed [God Tier Cooking], Miko stubbornly insisted on fulfilling what she called her “wife duties.”
Watching her busy figure moving around the kitchen while wearing an apron, Fujiwara Ai suddenly felt that this kind of daily life wasn’t bad at all.
After breakfast, the two left the apartment together.
Since today was Sunday, there was no school.
Fujiwara Ai planned to visit the instrument store to buy some guitar accessories for Bocchi as repayment for earlier favors, while Miko intended to visit the supermarket and buy ingredients for the coming week.
Specifically ingredients for Fujiwara Ai’s home.
Walking along the streets.
The effects of 85 charisma points immediately became obvious.
Previously people merely turned their heads.
Now they practically stopped walking entirely.
Whether they were teenage girls shopping together, mothers pushing strollers, or even stray cats lounging beside the road, all of them unconsciously paused the moment they noticed Fujiwara Ai.
Their eyes filled with amazement and fascination.
The atmosphere almost looked like pink bubbles floating through the air.
“How terrifying…”
Miko tightly hugged Fujiwara Ai’s arm while warily glaring at the surrounding “hungry wolves.”
“Ai kun…
feels even more handsome today.”
“There’s this dangerous feeling that makes people want to commit crimes.”
She quietly muttered under her breath while tightening her grip further. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
“No.
I need to hide Ai kun away properly.”
Fujiwara Ai silently pulled his mask higher before lowering the brim of his hat.
This charisma level truly was a double edged sword.
Just as the two passed by a bookstore, a familiar voice suddenly called out toward them.
“Ah!
Fujiwara san?!”
Fujiwara Ai turned around.
Standing outside the bookstore entrance was Kitagawa Mimu holding several manga volumes while staring at them in surprise.
“What a coincidence!
I didn’t expect to run into you here!”
She remained as energetic and dazzling as ever.
Miko’s body instantly stiffened and her gaze sharpened.
That blonde woman again.
“Morning.”
Fujiwara Ai calmly nodded.
“Hehe, are you two on a date?”
Marin glanced toward their tightly interlocked hands.
Although traces of disappointment flashed across her face, she quickly regained her cheerful smile.
“Right right!
The photos!
The photographer sent them over last night and they’re incredible!
Want me to send them to you?”
She immediately pulled out her phone excitedly, wanting to show them the results.
“No need.”
Before Fujiwara Ai could respond, Miko coldly rejected the offer.
“We still have things to do.”
“We won’t disturb you any longer.”
After saying that, she immediately pulled Fujiwara Ai away.
Marin froze briefly before awkwardly lowering her phone.
“Ah…
okay.
Then…
see you next time!”
She waved while watching their departing backs, loneliness briefly flickering through her eyes.
“Even though…
I met him first…”
She quietly muttered to herself.
After walking a considerable distance away.
Miko finally loosened her grip on Fujiwara Ai’s hand only to immediately wrap both arms around his waist instead and bury her face against his chest.
“Ai kun.”
“Hm?”
“Do you think I’m unreasonable?”
“No.”
“Good.”
Miko raised her head before revealing a sweet and deeply satisfied smile.
“Anyway, Ai kun already belongs to me now.”
“The mark has already been engraved.”
She lightly pointed toward her lips, clearly implying the meaning behind her words.
Fujiwara Ai helplessly smiled again.
Although the battlefield of love still continued ahead and the future would undoubtedly remain noisy and troublesome.
At this moment, however, the sunlight felt warm and the breeze felt gentle.
And the person in his arms belonged to him.
That alone was enough.
