The gentle sensation on his hair woke Charlie from his sleep. As he opened his eyes, he saw Aishia caressing his hair with affectionate movements.
"Good morning, Charlie. Did I wake you?" Aishia's voice sounded soft, different from usual.
"Morning, Aishia..." Charlie rubbed his eyes, then became aware when he saw her not wearing a single thread. Memories from last night immediately flooded his mind.
"We really did it, huh..." He muttered, still half in disbelief, his hand embracing Aishia's shoulder.
"Does Charlie regret it?" Aishia asked with an expression that was still hard to read.
"Nonsense! Regret? Not at all!" Charlie hastily denied, afraid Aishia would misunderstand. "Honestly, I already suspected that someday something like this would happen. I just didn't expect it would take this long."
He explained how Astraea's presence at Empyrean Citadel always made him reluctant to do lewd things with Aishia. There was a kind of respect that made him restrain himself.
"I see..." Aishia said. "I thought Charlie wasn't interested in me after your relationship with the Sword Princess became serious."
"No, it was never like that." Charlie gently denied.
Suddenly, Aishia asked a question that made Charlie flinch.
"Isn't morning the period when men's libido is at its peak? Want to do it?"
While saying so, her hand slipped under the blanket and began moving up and down with movements that made Charlie gasp.
"Hisss... Where did you learn all this, Aishia?" He asked while taking a deep breath.
"The learning material came from Charlie's memories during his teenage years." Aishia answered innocently. "You know that you watched all kinds of adult videos on the internet back then."
"..."
Charlie fell silent, embarrassed that his dark past was known to Aishia. But before he could say anything, Aishia had already gotten up and sat straddling him, showing her beautiful and flawless body.
This beauty that would make many emperors and kings go to war to win her heart was now presented for only one man.
"So how about it? Want to or not?" Aishia asked, her gem-like eyes staring directly at him.
"Just for a little while." Charlie finally answered, surrendering to temptation.
Quickly, he used Senrigan to make sure Kei and Est were still asleep. But when his view reached Kei's room, he immediately turned off Senrigan.
The sight he saw made him shocked and guilty.
Kei was sleeping in a very vulnerable position. Her thin clothing had ridden up, showing the lower part of her firm breasts with pink areolas typical of young girls protruding behind the fabric. Meanwhile, her shorts had slipped down to her knees, revealing her groin that was just beginning to grow pubic hair the same color as her white hair.
What was more striking was the wet stain clearly visible on the sheets under Kei, proving her recent activities.
(Oh my god, I saw something I shouldn't have seen... Don't tell me, Kei masturbated? But, that's normal for teenagers her age.)
Charlie tried to calm himself with rational thinking, but the image was already imprinted in his mind.
"Charlie got excited quickly." Aishia commented, mistaking the cause of Charlie's arousal.
Even if she knew, Aishia didn't care. Without further ado, she inserted Charlie's body part that had taken her virginity last night.
"Ofuuu~"
Charlie moaned, feeling the warmth and softness that was beginning to feel familiar.
Aishia moved on top of Charlie, their morning rhythm began.
This time, there was no pain; only pure and renewed pleasure. Aishia moved awkwardly but passionately, trying to imitate the movements she learned from Charlie's memories. Her long pink hair cascaded over Charlie's face, and every movement produced soft, melodious moans.
Charlie gripped her hips, guiding Aishia into deeper and more rhythmic thrusts. He felt Aishia's extraordinary tightness, an intoxicating sensation that relieved stress. Each thrust was a release of the burden he had carried for months.
"Faster, Charlie! I want... faster! I can't... hold it!" Aishia moaned, her eyes tightly closed, tears of happiness and sensation flowing thinly at her temples.
Charlie nodded, ignoring all limitations, and increased their speed. He kissed her soft shoulder, tasting the sweat that began to moisten the Spirit Girl's skin. The collision of their bodies on the simple wooden bed produced a consistent rhythmic sound, a wild song played at the quiet Xinjiang dawn.
15 minutes later, Aishia arched her back, begging for more. She reached her climax with a sharp restrained scream, her body trembling violently. Charlie followed shortly after, exhaling a long breath, and burying himself in Aishia's warmth.
They both lay exhausted after making love for almost an hour, their hearts beating in unison, intertwined in an increasingly deep bond, spiritual, and now physical. That night and morning had fundamentally changed their relationship.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
The atmosphere at the breakfast table that morning felt different. Three women and one man sat enjoying breakfast dishes that were actually delicious, but colored by an awkward silence. Usually, their dining table was filled with light conversation about the day's plans, but this morning only the sound of clinking spoons and forks could be heard.
Except for Aishia and Est, who as Spirits had different perspectives and might not be affected by human morality, the other two humans had conflicting thoughts.
Charlie observed Kei, who looked restless. The white-haired girl kept avoiding eye contact with him, but occasionally her eyes would glance secretly before quickly turning away when caught.
(Kei is quieter today. Maybe she feels embarrassed after masturbating last night? Yes, that must be it.) He concluded in his heart, trying to understand Kei's strange behavior.
But on the other side of the table, Kei's thoughts were in turmoil.
(How do I interact with Charlie-san and Aishia-san after seeing all that? Oh my, Aishia-san isn't even trying to hide it?!)
Kei stared sharply at the hickey marks clearly visible on Aishia's white neck, right behind her hairline. Those red marks were undeniable proof of what happened last night. Shame mixed with curiosity and vague disappointment filled her heart.
To divert his thoughts from the awkwardness, Charlie took a piece of food cooked by Kei and put it in his mouth.
(Let's check on Wang Jian and Elena's situation.)
So, he mentally activated Senrigan.
Instantly, he saw Elena. Elena was leading the Ice Cavalry troops created through her Sacred Gear, Absolute Demise, clearing the vast and cold Russian plains.
Just like Charlie who was stuck in China for over a year, Elena also spent most of her time in Russia. After all, Russia was the country with the largest land area in the world. After she cleared the countries in Europe, Elena continued to Russia.
Then, Charlie shifted his focus to Wang Jian, who was on the African continent.
Suddenly, he choked hard.
"Cough Cough..."
"Charlie!"
"Charlie-san!"
"Onii-chan!"
After receiving a glass of water from Kei and drinking it, Charlie patted his chest.
"I'm fine. Just choked on food from being surprised."
He tried to calm the women who were worried about him.
Hearing that, Aishia, Est, and Kei were relieved it was just a trivial matter. They sat back down, although Kei still stared at Charlie with suspicious eyes.
(You're amazing, Wang! It seems this world still has a future.)
Charlie praised his male colleague in his heart, trying to hold back a wry smile.
What did he see through Senrigan that made him choke?
The answer was just one word: threesome!
At this moment, on the African continent, Wang Jian was having intense sex with Fujiwara Moeha and Koyasu Tsubame!
After all, spending more than a year together almost 24 hours a day, it was impossible for feelings not to develop. Moreover, Moeha was indeed proactive in teasing. Wang Jian wasn't the type of loser protagonist like Orimura Ichika, finally surrendering to the girl's persistence six months ago.
Hearing and peeking at the intimate activities of the two people almost every day, Tsubame, who initially felt embarrassed but driven by survival instinct and loneliness, also joined their relationship. She didn't want to be the only remaining human without a partner when it all ended.
Through Senrigan, Charlie had just seen Tsubame lying underneath while Moeha was on top of her, the two forming a human sandwich. Wang Jian was fucking them alternately and simultaneously.
(Really, you're good at this, Wang)
Charlie secretly gave a thumbs up to Wang Jian on the African continent, who of course couldn't see it. Wang Jian's existence had resolved his toughest dilemma.
At least, the human race in this Planar World would not go extinct. Wang Jian had shouldered that reproductive burden.
Now, Charlie could focus entirely on the Quest, without worrying about the tragic fate of Kei and the other girls.
