"Hmm," Badr mused, stroking his chin as if talking to himself.

"I wouldn't mind, as long as you don't mind being treated like a rare zoo animal wherever you go," Mai Sakurajima replied casually. Badr understood what she meant.

If their relationship were made completely public, people would likely refer to him as "Mai Sakurajima's boyfriend" whenever they saw him.

"I'm not worried about that. The common sense alteration still works..."

"Wouldn't it be better not to go public in the first place? That way, at least fewer people would pay attention," Mai said calmly.

"That's true, but this way, our relationship would be official, wouldn't it?"

Badr smiled faintly. "I have such a lovely and famous girlfriend, but no one knows. It's a shame I can't show her off."

Mai remained unmoved. "Is that all you have to say after disappearing for days?"

Badr raised an eyebrow, his voice laced with mock seriousness.

"Actually, my love for Mai fills my heart to the brim, but I don't know how to express it in words."

"Do you enjoy sweet-talking?"

Mai stepped forward and stomped on his foot without hesitation.

Badr winced.

"Mai, you're wearing heels."

"I know. Is there a problem?"

"...No problem."

Badr wisely chose not to retort. It was clear that Mai had been worried sick during his disappearance, even if she wasn't showing it now. It was best to let her vent her emotions.

Ignoring the passing crowds, Badr gently wrapped his arms around Mai's waist, pulling her into a hug.

Mai struggled briefly before relaxing into his embrace, her arms circling his back.

"Don't let it happen again," she murmured, her words carrying a deeper meaning.

Badr understood what she was referring to, his sudden disappearance for several days.

"It was truly an unforeseen circumstance. I'll be more careful in the future," he assured her softly.

Holding Mai's tall and slender frame, Badr felt a sense of tranquility wash over him.

After a while, Mai gently patted his shoulder, pulling back slightly to look into his eyes.

"So, what exactly happened during these past few days?"

Badr didn't want to hide anything from her.

"To put it simply, a Fallen Angel mentioned in the Bible suddenly went berserk and tried to destroy this city, triggering a war between the three factions."

Mai's jaw dropped. Badr's simple statement had delivered a massive shock...

She remained speechless for a long time, stunned by the revelation.

"...Can you tell me more? I... I feel like I don't know anything about your life..."

Mai confessed after a moment of silence, sounding somewhat dejected.

"Of course. Why don't we head home first?"

"Okay..."

Badr bent down and swept Mai into his arms, bridal style.

She gasped in surprise. "Eh?"

"Hold on tight. We're flying this time."

As he spoke, a pair of black devil wings unfolded behind him. He shot into the sky, carrying Mai in his arms!

"..."

...

Perhaps due to her first flying experience, Mai seemed a bit tense.

"Are you scared?"

"T-this is nothing. It's not a big deal."

Mai tried to act tough, but her forced composure and the slight hint of fear in her expression amused Badr.

She was always stubborn in these strange ways.

Just like when Badr made suggestive jokes, she would pretend to be mature and knowledgeable, only to end up blushing furiously after a few words...

Of course, it always ended with her adopting a regal, queen-like attitude, and Badr playfully submitting, a routine they both enjoyed...

Badr chuckled, finding her cute expression endearing. "Should I fly higher then?"

"...S-sure."

Mai tried to maintain her composure, but her arms tightened around his neck, as if afraid of falling.

Feeling Mai's soft body pressed against his, Badr smirked to himself and soared higher into the sky.

"It's not as good as an airplane..."

Mai huffed, knowing Badr was teasing her when she saw his amused expression.

"I'm fine, but you might not be able to handle flying so high."

Badr chuckled. "And we're high enough anyway. When I was learning flight, the first thing I thought of was taking you to see the scenery from above."

His calm voice carried an unconscious tenderness. 

When facing the person he loved, the loving gaze in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

That's exactly how Mai felt at this moment.

Her heart was touched.

This boy had truly changed a lot...

When they first met, he was quite a solitary person.

If it weren't for those events that brought them closer, they wouldn't have ended up together like this...

Mai thought to herself, gazing down at the city below. Suddenly, the once ordinary city seemed beautiful.

This was the city where she and Badr lived together.

Badr flew in silence. After the recent incident, he had realized his determination to protect what was important to him. That's why, even in the face of such danger, he had never thought of retreating...

It didn't take long for Badr to carry Mai back to his apartment.

At the entrance, Mai bent down to take off her shoes, and Badr noticed another pair of pink slippers.

"Is your sister still at your place?"

"Nodoka? Yes, she's still here, but she's been busy with rehearsals lately. She doesn't come back until two in the morning."

"That late?"

"She has a car that picks her up. The driver is the mother of one of her team members, who manages their group." Mai changed into her slippers, sighing in relief at the soft, comfortable feeling.

It was so much better to be home and wear slippers instead of heels.

Badr also changed into his shoes and walked into the living room, settling onto the sofa.

Mai sat down beside him.

"Alright, tell me about what happened."

"Well, let's start with the current situation of the three factions. The three major powers used to be the God of the Bible, Devils, and Fallen Angels. But now, humans are also a dominant force."

Badr began to explain, sharing everything he knew with Mai. He didn't want her to harbor any doubts or worries.

After all, his disappearance for several days had caused her considerable anxiety.

Mai's worldview was completely overturned after hearing his story.

So this was the world she lived in. Not only was there the human world, but also the Underworld and Heaven...

"...Are there many war-mongering individuals like the one you mentioned?"

"Probably not many anymore," Badr chuckled. "Don't worry. The current leaders of the three factions have agreed to cease hostilities. Such dangerous situations are unlikely to happen again."

Of course, Badr didn't hold out too much hope in his heart.

After all, the world was vast. Who knew what crazy individual might be lurking in some forgotten corner, ready to jump out and try to destroy the world...

As for whether it was related, Badr didn't bother thinking about it. No one could predict the future.

Mai also knew that Badr's optimistic outlook was a bit naive, likely meant to comfort her.

She sighed softly. "I'm sorry I can't help you with any of this..."

Badr shook his head with a smile.

"It's alright. I don't need you to put yourself in danger. In fact, if you did, I'd be even more worried."

He gently wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Even now, in this world, whether it's angels or devils, it's not as peaceful as being a human."

Badr had already made up his mind. Once he officially became a high-class devil and received his Evil Pieces, he would have Mai reincarnated as a devil, allowing them to live together eternally.

"...Eternity? The thought of being with you forever makes me wonder what would happen if I got tired of you one day."

Mai feigned indifference, trying to sound nonchalant, but her blushing cheeks betrayed her shyness.

"If you ever get tired of me, I'll try to win you back again," Badr said with a gentle smile. "And no matter what, I'll always succeed."

Mai's lips curled into a slight smile. "I won't say yes so easily next time."

"Heh, that's worrying. I wonder when that next time will be."

"I guess it'll be in my next life," Mai replied, leaning against Badr's chest, her voice playful.

Badr smiled faintly at her words.

"Then I'll just have to pursue you again in your next life."

With that, he leaned in and kissed her.

Mai melted into his embrace as their lips met in a passionate kiss. Gradually, they sank deeper into the sofa.

Badr's hands moved expertly, slowly dismantling Mai's defenses. When she finally broke away from the kiss, her eyes widened in surprise...

She hadn't even noticed how her clothes had disappeared...

Badr kissed her neck, showering her cheeks and ears with gentle kisses, making her head spin.

Her face flushed crimson, and she shyly closed her eyes.

Seeing her adorable expression, Badr chuckled and took the opportunity to tease her further...

With a soft gasp from Mai, their love intertwined. Their fingers intertwined as they surrendered to an endless embrace.
