Since Alice and Rias had decided to leave, Rudy went to the next room to ask about the other girls.
Of course, he walked into them, changing their clothes, and he did that on purpose. Obviously, Ruby wasn't happy about that and lost her respect for him, which Rudy had gained before the auction started.
In other words, nothing changed... except their clothes.
"So Rias and Alice want to go home. What about you girls? Are you interested in the party? If not, I can teleport you all."
Jane glanced around to make sure Rias wasn't around and asked, "Rias is not coming?"
"No."
"Does that mean I no longer have to act as your sister-in-law once she leaves?"
"That's right. But remember, we are going to the party and not to have fun. So if you are thinking that we will sneak out and fuck, then that's not going to happen. Not to mention, there are cameras everywhere. Even in this room."
That's precisely why Rudy didn't try to make moves on Rias and Alice when he was alone with them in a closed room.
"Ehh… then that's boring. I will go home with you."
Rudy turned to Ruby and Alice and asked, "And you?"
"Lilim would be at the party, right?"
Rudy nodded and said, "She should be."
"I want to meet her, so I will stay."
Now, all the gazes were fixated on Ruby.
"I bought a few items, so I want to check them before the one-hour return policy expires. Once I am done with that, I will meet you at the party."
"Alright. So Everyone is leaving except Maria and Mia."
Jane hugged Rudy and looked at him with puppy eyes.
"What?"
"Are you still mad at me? I will never get immersed in the television or my phone. I promise."
Rudy chuckled softly and kissed her on the lips before saying, "I was never angry at you. I was just teasing you."
Jane bit her lips and said, "I have decided."
"Hmm?"
"I will tell Rias everything about our relationship. I don't want to hide it any longer. I feel guilty for betraying Rias' trust. And I can no longer hold myself from touching you in front of her."
'That's going to fuck Rias' plan up. But I won't say anything to Rias or Jane. They both made it personal, and this is my best chance to teach them a lesson. They had many chances to talk things out with each other and settle the matter, but they still made it a big deal.
I will let them do whatever they want. I will let the sisters handle this on their own. I have already done my part by telling everything to Rias— although she already knew everything from the very start— as I found out after my time travel. I will stay neutral in their cases and won't take anyone's side as neither of them are at fault.'
"Good luck." Rudy kissed her.
"Ahem!" Maria cleared her throat to make her presence known and said, "I know you two are having a moment, but this is not the time. And doing it in front of Ruby is a bad idea."
Rudy glanced at Ruby and said, "Excuse me, you can turn your face to the other side if you are jealous."
"I am not jealous!"
"Anyway, let's go." Rudy grabbed Jane's hand and walked out of the room. "I will be back. Maria, you stay here. Mia can go wherever she wants."
Rudy called out Alice and Rias and asked them to come out of the room.
"Let's go."
"Where is this island on the map, and how far is the pool house from here?" Rias asked.
"I have no idea but judging by the speed the copter was traveling, and the time it took for us to reach here, I would say we are on the other side of the globe. Like, not a straight way, but more like umm… yes, it's a straight way, but not a straight direction," Rudy explained awkwardly.
"Can I go there by myself?" Rias asked hesitantly.
"Hmm? Why on earth would you want to do that when I can drop you off in less than a second?" Rudy asked with a curious and confused look on his face.
"It's been so long since I used my wings and flew. And since we are surrounded by the sea, an open sky with no one to see us from the ground… I want to fly."
"But it would still take you an hour."
"Thirty-five minutes max, believe me."
"I want to say no to your request, but I don't want to sound like a bad husband who doesn't let his wife do anything or, let's say… give her freedom," he sighed in frustration.
"So…?" Rias raised her brow and asked, "Can I…?"
After giving it some thought, Rudy nodded twice and calmly said, "I will let you go if Jane tags along. It would be better if you went together. Maybe even talk things out?"
He said while glancing at Jane.
"..." Rias caught the sign exchange between Rudy and Jane and realized they were up to something.
"That's fine by me. Jane also needs to use something other than her legs," she remarked while looking between Jane's legs, seemingly referring to her recent sex session with Rudy.
"I mean, I haven't seen her flying ever since we came to the human world. Usually, she used to fly over the palace in the vampire world," Rias shortly added to avoid suspicion.
'I am actually having second thoughts about leaving them alone. These constant exchanges of remarks are fine, but what if they fight? I highly doubt that would happen because if they wanted to fight, they already had many chances in the pool house.'
"You two can leave at any time you want."
"Excuse me, I was told to tell you to not show your powers in public," the guard informed.
"Yes, yes. They will fly from the other side. I will drop them there."
