Chapter 77 of "The SSS Ranked Villain's Return" opens showing suspense: The moments passed in silence until, eventually, they managed to finish the smoothie. And soon, the... Continue the adventure!

The moments passed in silence until, eventually, they managed to finish the smoothie. And soon, the waiters came back in, preparing the next dishes, which were couples-themed, much like the smoothie itself. Chocolate fondue, a gold-covered heart-shaped pizza too. His mother really did go all out. But nonetheless, everything was delicious and definitely worth both the time and the experience. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire Since, during it all, Neraxis could admire Celina's satisfied smile, the time felt worthwhile. However, after what felt like hours, they finished everything. Now, there was a question that hung in the air. What now...? The date is over, but do we just leave now... or what? [Why is it over?] Evangeline asked, puzzled. [It's still midday—why not go outside and walk around a park or something?] Really? Is that what people do on dates? Neraxis thought, tilting his head before turning to Celina. "...Do you want to go to the mall?" "Mall?" Her eyes practically lit up as she nodded back with a smile. "Now?" "Yes, if you don't mind." Neraxis stood up, stretching out his hand. "Okay," Celina replied, and the two immediately made their way out of the restaurant. Unsurprisingly, his mother had already paid for everything in advance. However, as they left, Celina suddenly brought him into a nearby alleyway. But before he could question her, she tore off her dress, revealing casual and comfortable clothing that surprisingly matched his own. Celina twirled her hair around and glanced at him, slightly embarrassed. "I had this ready just in case... It's more comfortable to move in." "I see..." Neraxis responded with a stiff smile. Suddenly, she jumped up, climbing onto a balcony and then leaping to the next, until she finally reached the roof of the building, looking down at him. "What are you waiting for? Let's go." Celina stated with a teasing smile as she slowly walked out of his view. ...I guess we're not taking a car. Neraxis didn't think too much about it and swiftly dashed up the wall, almost as efficiently as she did. And when he finally got to the top, he spotted her several buildings away. Fast, but... Neraxis began running, kicking off one building faster than the rest, until finally, he had caught up. However, to both their surprise, the bullets collided midair, flying off into the distance without hitting either of them. "Pfft... hahaha," Celina's laughter resounded as she looked at the revolver in her hands before glancing off to the side, where a timer was ticking down. "Seems like we can't go for round two." "Draw it is," Neraxis remarked with a chuckle, and soon, his vision slightly contorted as his body was moving backward on its own. And after just a few more moments, all kinds of objects, people, and everything else he could imagine materialized. The textures around him changed, too, as if adding a filter and becoming cartoonish. We are inside an animated movie? he thought with wonder, and soon, the movie began playing, with both him and Celina watching from the sidelines and even talking a bit in between each scene. The movie finished in what felt like the blink of an eye, with them finally stepping out of the virtual pods and making their way to another sector. But as the two looked to the sky, they noticed it was already growing darker. Therefore, it would be best if they wrapped it up. Therefore, Neraxis turned toward her before saying, "Want some ice cream?" "Sure," she replied cheerfully and walked beside him. After just a few minutes of walking, they arrived in front of an ice cream stand, which had all the flavors one could imagine. "What will you get?" he questioned, watching as her eyes scanned through all the flavors until eventually landing on one in particular. "Strawberry... I liked the smoothie, so..." Celina trailed off as her ears became a little red before she turned toward him. "You?" "I'll get the same then," Neraxis said with a soft smile. It did not take them long to get their ice cream, and they were in pretty big portions, so it would take them a bit of time to eat. But as he was about to dig in, Celina tugged on his sleeve before saying, "Wanna go up?" She pointed toward a ladder in the very corner of the mall, leading to the roof. "Pfft..." He let out a chuckle and nodded. "Let's go." Taking a few good looks around to make sure there were no guards, the two jumped on a few stalls and leaped toward a nearby tree, from which they immediately ran toward the ladder and climbed to the very top. And once they finally arrived, what greeted their sights was a gorgeous sunset, which was on the verge of fully disappearing. "Quickly!" She tugged on his sleeve again. Neraxis sped up his pace as he followed after the running Celina, who, after a few short moments, jumped down into a small hatch in the roof. With a puzzled look, he did the same, and once he did, a few mirrors came into view, perfectly reflecting what little sunlight there was, illuminating the miniature tile ceiling. It was almost like standing on top of clouds—especially with a beauty like Celina beside him—that left him speechless. "Is this...?"
