After Lucy and her friends left for the washroom, Rudy decided to pay the visit to the girls to see how their meeting was going on.
Sure, he could easily know that using his powers, but he wanted the girls to know that he was there.
He was also curious to see how Reina and Rize reacted when they found out that they were part of Rudy's harem.
However, when Rudy reached Reina's office, he saw two girls standing outside, arguing with Reina. He assumed it must be the customers who wanted to complain.
This had become a regular occurrence, with customers complaining about the tiniest things that should not have affected their experience at all.
A customer expressed displeasure about the color of the rides and asked for something other than red.
"What's going on here?" he asked them.
Rina turned around and saw Rudy and instantly recognized him as she had seen him in the photos.
She then turned to Reina and exclaimed, "I knew it. You were fooling around while—"
"I asked him to help me. He is working as a lifeguard today." Before Rina could say something she shouldn't have, Reina stopped her.
Rina inspected Rudy and remarked, "I don't see the lifeguard's uniform on his body."
"Wait, why am I being judged? What's going on?" Rudy asked with a confused look on his face.
"Rudy, this is my sister."
"Oh. If I remember correctly, your name is Tina, am I right?"
"It's Rina!" she hissed.
"Rina?" Rudy raised his brow and muttered, "Isn't this the same name Lucy had mentioned when I asked her friends' name?"
"Are you friends with Lucy?" he asked.
"You know her too?"
"I am her brother."
"Wait… you are that Paul?!"
"Oh, hell no. Who is Paul? And Reina just said my name in front of you. It's Rudy."
"Just to confirm instead of creating a new misunderstanding… you are her boyfriend, right?" Rina pointed her finger at Reina.
Rudy looked at Reina's face to check her answer. After receiving a nod in response, Rudy said yes.
"Yes. I have been meaning to meet you, Rina. Reina has mentioned a lot about you."
He then turned his gaze to Melinda and inquired, "Are you perhaps Melinda?"
"You know me?" Melinda asked with a surprised look on her face.
"No, not really."
"Then how do you know my name?"
"I met Lucy and her friends earlier. I recalled the names of her friends and yours wasn't among them, thus I concluded that you must be her.
"Correct guess."
"Why are you here, Rina?" Reina asked her quietly.
"I had already informed you that I am coming today with my friends."
"Yes, I know. But why are you at my office?"
"So now I need a reason to be at your office?" Rina asked with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
'I have no idea what's going on, but it seems that Reina is preventing Rina from entering her office. I know the reason, but it shouldn't be a big deal. I don't want to be the reason to cause a rift between two sisters, so I guess I will handle this matter.'
"Rina, Reina is having a meeting in her office about the future construction and expansion of the water park to an amusement park."
"Yes. And I don't think it would be appropriate to walk-in in an ongoing meeting."
"Yes, I understand." Rina nodded. She turned to Reina and calmly continued, "I was here to inform you of my arrival and ask for your permission to use the reserved pool."
"Yes, you can."
"Also, did you find my button?"
"I tried, but I couldn't find it. I will inform you if I do."
"Okay."
Rina walked past Rudy while saying, "Let's go, Linda."
Reina waited until Rina was gone and gave Rudy a tight hug.
"Thank you for saving me!"
"Come on, it was nothing."
He kissed her on the head and patted her back.
"Do you want to join the meeting?"
"No. But I am curious how it's progressing."
"I am not even doing anything. It's Janet and Rias exchanging their opinions."
"Come to think of it…"
"Hmm?"
Before being forcibly taken back to the vampire world, Rias was a student in my school, and Jane's spell caused people to forget her.
The ironic part is that Rias, Alice, and Janet were in the same class, and Rize was an assistant teacher at that time.
Although she didn't have teaching classes, she was assistant to the teachers who taught us."
"In other words, they all already know each other…" Reina mumbled.
"Well, no one remembers Rias because of Jane's spell, except Alice. Jane removed the spell from her."
"No wonder Rias seems to be familiar with Janet's point of view."
"Yeah, they weren't exactly friends, but not enemies, either. You can say they had a rivalry between them, but now they are fighting for something else."
Reina looked up into Rudy's eyes and asked, "Don't you feel responsible for it?"
"I am the asset here."
"…."
"By the way, how was your reaction when you found out that Rize is a part of my harem?"
"I already knew it."
"You did…?" Rudy was baffled to hear that. "How… and when…?"
"We are friends. When she found out that I was in a relationship, she contacted me and asked for help. Apparently, there was a student who was blackmailing and threatening her to be his lover.
Imagine my surprise when I found out that it was you. Of course, I didn't say anything at that time. I didn't know if you had told Rize about the harem, so I was a bit hesitant."
"You could have told me," Rudy shrugged.
"You could have told me too."
"Anyway, if everything is going well… I will go back to my duty."
"Are you sure you don't want to come in?" she asked with a curious look on her face.
"I think if I enter this room, there will be bloodshed."
Reina gave Rudy a kiss on the lips and then moved her face towards his ear to whisper something to him.
