Charles had his meal and parted ways with Aurora, even declining her suggestion to go shopping. He felt uneasy without his weapons; normally, he carried at least the Blood Rose, and before he had the Blood Rose, he would carry the Vampiric Hand Axe and a Magnum Hand Shuttle.
Aurora said nothing but asked Charles to escort her back to the Foreign Minister's residence.
After dropping her off, Charles hurried back to the embassy street. When he found Taoles and retrieved the Blood Rose and the Withing Rose, and stored them in the bloody vortex inside his left arm, he finally took a deep breath of relief—the sense of security returned.
He thought to himself, "It's a pity the Anti-Space Sniper Rifle and the two Silver Rhinoceroses are at Machu Picchu, otherwise I'd feel even more secure."
