"Charles, traveling with you may have its downside, but I had much fun. I wish you luck in your endeavors."

Those were her parting words. Constance, Melvin, and I were now back. Coming back to Celestial was no trouble when you already had documents for anything.

"Constance, good morning."

Now that we had returned, it was time to wake her up. It was a shame that even when awake, Constance was unresponsive.

"..."

It was time for me to start what I planned to do. The quickest way for Constance to return to her previous self would be to make her body remember why she was infatuated with me.

None of the girls knew that I had returned. This was the perfect chance to help Constance now.

"Constance, it seems like you're back!"

"Charles..."

Constance's mind was fuzzy. After what I had done to her, her mind was clouded with pleasure. It had taken me only a few minutes before she was completely done.

"Are you feeling better?"

"..."

Constance didn't speak and tried to remember what had happened. The ecstatic expression she had earlier disappeared as she remembered what had happened.

Constance's friends wouldn't return, as they were already killed. Any revival items I had were useless, as their souls had disappeared.

"It's not your fault."

Those were the only words I could say. Those vampires that had attacked had nothing to do with Constance. She was just unlucky for that to happen. I tried my best to comfort her as she wailed in tears.

This was my first time trying to console someone to this degree. As a loner previously, situations like these weren't my strong suit.

"Charles... Those three... Are gone!!! I couldn't do anything."

Constance's helpless figure was what had bothered her. Back on Earth, she was one of the strongest people there was. Being put in a vulnerable situation was what aggravated her.

She took my body and used it as a comfort pillow. I held her back and patted both her head and back. I could offer her encouragement, but she needed to let out some steam.

The sobs I heard coming from her made the room silent. Being here for her was the least I could do as her lover.

After crying her eyes out, Constance went back to sleep. Now that I was alone, I wondered if I should fetch Reina.

The only person in this house was Courtney. Just as I was about to leave, Constance held me, not wanting to let go.

"Charles... Please don't leave."

Those words stung even more when I knew I had a time limit. Instead of trying to leave, I felt that I needed to stay. Eventually, I drifted off to sleep with Constance embracing me.

"Charles, wake up."

Hearing my name, I could hear Courtney waking me up. Constance was still asleep as Courtney whispered to my ears, only wanting to wake me up.

"Morning Courtney."

After waking up, I managed to escape from Constance and face Courtney. We entered the living room and discussed what she wanted to say.

"Charles, did something happen to Constance?"

There were dried-up tears in Constance's eyes, so it wasn't hard to tell that something had happened.

"Her friends had died, and now she's in the gutter."

Giving Courtney a short rundown, I told her what had happened prior to saving Constance. Courtney nodded and understood what had occurred.

"How about we do something for her? It may not completely fix her, but it should lift her spirit."

Courtney's words held merit. Even so, what should we do to make her feel better? A party might work, but it didn't feel right for the occasion.

"We don't need to do much. Our goal is only to lift her mood. A small dinner with everyone should do it."

Reading my mind, Courtney had pointed out what we needed to do. If we were going to do what Courtney said, I would have to get everyone.

"Charles, before you leave, don't you have something you would like to do with me?"

Expectations were coming from Courtney's eyes. Her reasoning had worked, as she had convinced me with the amount of skin she had shown.

It's been almost a week since I've been with her alone, and I guess it was time for me to do my duty as her lover.

I returned to Constance's room with Courtney asleep to check on her. Constance was wide awake and stared at the ceiling, having a thought.

"Constance, I'm not intruding, am I?"

"No, I was just in deep thought."

Constance was a lot calmer compared to yesterday. She was still melancholic, but it was still a step up.

"Is that so? Is there anything you want to do?"

"No."

Well, I tried. Since Constance was down in the dumps, there was one thing I could do.

"Constance, why don't you build a grave for them? I found their bodies. It's the least you could do as their friends."

Instead of letting Constance lie on the bed all day, I should get her to do something. The work may be depressing, but it was a way for her to cut off loose ends. This was one way for her to move on, and this was the most I could do to help.

I brought them their corpse and let Constance do whatever she wanted. Since I think Constance would prefer to do this alone, I left her alone.

Since I had free time, it was time for me to pick Reina up. With this new place and an accident, I haven't stayed on Earth in a while.

And even now, I was only going there to fetch Reina. My stay wouldn't take long, as I needed her to help fix Constance up.

Doing that, I returned to Earth without any worries. I didn't feel the need to show up at my house, so I went to Reina immediately. Reina was sitting there watching on her computer. Taking her attention, I greeted her.

"Reina, I'm back."
