"I…" Rudy let out a short sigh and said, "I am from the future."


    "..."


    "And I have time-traveled to this timeline for some reason."


    "You…"


    "Hmm? Oh, I know you are shocked after learning that but don''t worry."


    "You promised to tell the truth!"


    "I am telling the truth!" Rudy groaned. "But it''s up to you to believe me."


    "Fine. I believe you. You don''t seem to be lying."


    "I also know what you are in the human world to find your mother."


    "I told you that the night we met!"


    "Yes, you did, but I knew it even before… that."


    At that time, Rudy realized something. He clenched the tennis ball in his hand as a sudden thought crossed his mind.


    ''Right now, Rias is in the human world to find her mother. But she would obviously return to the vampire world. And when I met Rias in the 2008 timeline, she was apparently looking for someone important to her.


    After my night with Jane in the vampire world, when Jane told me a few things about Rias. I assumed ''that'' someone important Rias was looking for was her mother. But there is a high chance that she was waiting for me!


    I can''t tell for sure, but I will ask her once I return to the 2008 timeline to confirm.''


    "What''s wrong? You went quiet all of a sudden?" Rias asked curiously.


    "I am just waiting for your third and final question."


    "Look back, you idiot."


    "Hmm?" Rudy was so lost in his thoughts earlier that he never noticed Rias'' voiceing from behind him.


    When Rudy turned around, he saw Rias standing there, squirming with a flushed face.


    "What happened to the third question?" Rudy asked with a dazed expression on his face, seemingly speechless after seeing Rias after a long time.


    "I asked two questions earlier, remember?"


    "Hmm."


    "But… I would like to ask one more question… if you don''t mind…" she uttered hesitantly.


    "Sure, go ahead."


    "If you are truly from the future, and thus, know me very well. What type of rtions do we have in the future? And why are you here?"


    "That''s two questions again," Rudy chuckled softly.


    Rias stared at Rudy without reacting and waited for his answers.


    "Well… we have a special rtionship. And I am here to make you fall in love with me," Rudy answered honestly.


    "But why…"


    "Do I need a reason to fall in love with someone?"


    "If you know me, then you must also know my sister, right?"


    "I do," Rudy nodded.


    "Then you should fall in love with her. She is better than me in everything. She is beautiful, she is strong, and she is more vampire-ish than me."


    "I know."


    "Then… why…" Rias clenched her fist.


    "As I said, I want to fall in love with you and make you fall in love with me. I have no other reasons or excuses."


    "Why would you fall in love with me?"


    Even though Rias had said she wanted to ask one question, she had asked many.


    "Firstly, I love you more than Jane. Andstly, Jane is not here. If she was, I would make a move on her as well," he answered with a straight face.


    Rias squinted her eyes and asked with a judging look on her face, "You are after our bodies?"


    "No. I believe in love and peace, and that''s why I opted for the harem," Rudy stated with a peace sign.


    "A… harem…?"


    "A harem is a man having multiple girls as lovers."


    "I know what it means, but… that''s disgusting!"


    "Oh,e on. You weren''t so against it in the future~" Rudy groaned.


    "That''s because this is not the future! And the future me must be stupid to let you have a harem!"


    "You would regret saying that in the future. And if you don''t, I will make sure to remind you."


    After that day, Rudy and Rias met daily, which continued for a few more weeks. They had gotten a lot closer, and whenever Rudy was free, he would go to Rias'' house to spend time with her.


    Of course, his rtionship with Elena was going well, and they would have fun every night.


    Rudy had a lot of chances to have sex with Rias, and he was convinced that Rias wouldn''t say no to him if he ever tried. However, he didn''t do more than hugging. He didn''t even kiss or touch her appropriately.


    He knew Rias was a virgin in 2008, so he couldn''t have sex with her in 1989. he could kiss her, but if he did, he wouldn''t be able to control himself and go all the way.


    Rias had waited for him for 19 years, so it was fair for Rudy to wait for her for the same.


    Rias had fallen in love with Rudy, and she always waited for him toe. She would even make food for him sometimes, and she learned a lot about the human world so she could have more conversations with Rudy about the human world.


    A few more weeks passed, and everything was going well until one day, Rudy didn''t visit Rias at the regr time. She got anxious and wanted to see Rudy but waited for him regardless. She thought he woulde soon, but he didn''t, so she decided to pay him a visit.


    She didn''t know where Rudy lived, so she had to search for him. After searching for him for a few minutes, she decided to head back and try to find him at night, when she could fly without worrying about anyone seeing her.


    However, when she returned, Rudy was waiting for her at the chair.


    "Where were you?!" she yelled at him with teary eyes. "I waited for you!"


    "Something came up, so I had to take care of it first. And I am only an hourte."


    "I was so lonely! You idiot! I hate you!"


    Rudy kissed Rias on the lips for the first time and held her hands in his hands.


    "Come with me."


    "Where…?" she asked with a puzzled look on her face.


    "To my house. I want you to meet someone."
