While Rudy and Maria were at the party, enjoying themselves, Ruby was discussing matters with the sellers about the items she had bought.
Alice had already fallen asleep as soon as Rudy left, and Rias and Jane were slowly flying towards the city.
Angelica was at the pool house, sitting on Jane's bed and watching anime on Rudy's phone with headphones on.
Vriti and Niti were sleeping, and she was the only one awake in the dark room.
Even though Rudy had installed dim lights, the vampires liked to sleep in a pitch-black room for obvious reasons.
Angelica was earnestly watching anime on the phone, but she didn't seem to enjoy it, judging by her reaction.
She finished watching the Ending song and placed the phone down.
SIGH!
She lay on the bed and muttered, "I just finished watching the eighth episode. This anime only has twelve episodes, and as per the internet, it's an original anime with no source material. It will never get a second season, so the remaining episodes must be too heavy for the plot."
The anime was about a normal high school student moving to the countryside after his parent's death and meeting a ghost girl at the school. When Angelica watched the trailer and researched more about it, she was excited to watch it and couldn't wait for all the episodes to be out so she could binge it.
'I thought I would find it relatable and compare it with Rudy and my story, but… it wasn't even close. The first episode ended with them meeting, so I expected more progression in the second episode, but that didn't happen.
It turned into a romantic comedy anime, but the romance progression was so slow. I am already at the 8th out of 12 episodes, and the main character doesn't stop blushing whenever he talks with the ghost girl.
I am not sure what will happen in the next episodes, but does it really take so long to fall in love and confess their love to each other? It wasn't like that with Rudy and I.
We met, talked, shared a bond, and… had sex. Although it was me who seduced him… kind of… I think it was a natural approach. To be honest… I was embarrassed at first. I remember I used to blush whenever he called me by the name he gave me.
But I knew if I kept acting like that… nothing would happen between us. I am truly glad I made the right move at the right time. Otherwise, who knows what future I might have held.'
Angelica curled up and muttered, "It's only been a few hours since he went to the party, and I am already missing him so badly."
"I should have gone with him when he asked me to," she sighed. "But I wanted Alice to spend time with Rudy."
"I… can't survive a day without him… physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually." After a brief pause, she said, "Let's add sexually too. I am going to have lots of sex with him once he comes back."
When Rudy lived a year in the past without Angelica, it was only a matter of five minutes for Angelica.
'I feel… lonely. It reminds me of… that tunnel…' She hugged herself and trembled in fear.
"I spent eight long years in that tunnel. It sends chills down my spine whenever I remember it. Had Rudy not passed through that tunnel that day… I would still be caged there.
Rudy passed through that tunnel because he didn't know it was haunted. And he didn't know that because the tunnel never existed in his past life. In other words, had Rudy not died in his past life and transmigrated… regressed to this world's Rudy's body… he would have never decided to pass through that tunnel since this world's Rudy must have known the tunnel was haunted.
Isn't it too far-fetched to call it a coincidence? The odds were in my favor. Why would that happen? And how did I never notice it until now? I am sure Rudy had already realized that, but he never told me because he himself doesn't have an answer."
'Thinking about it, I don't know much about Rudy even though I live inside his body. Sure, I have been with him all that time, and I know everything about him ever since I met him, but he rarely talks about his past life.
I still don't know who r*ped him in his past life. I don't know who was his first kiss with. How many relationships he had before he started dating Elise. Did he ever cheat on her, or was he ever in an intimate relationship with someone before and after he met Elise?
How is he so great at sex and knows how to pleasure the girls? It's not because of his super libido… that's just increased his sex drive. I don't think he can be a master at sex by having sex with one girl.
Sure, he said he and Elise had tried all types of sex, and her sex drive was crazy too, but… I don't know. I feel like he is hiding something about his past life.
Moreover, I know nothing about Elise. I used to feel like he talked about her all the time… but what do I even know about her?
Nothing.
Rudy must have realized that he shouldn't talk about her when he is with his harem, but isn't it natural for him to remember Elise at that time? When we eat a certain item from the menu, we naturally remember where and with whom we ate the same thing before.
Rudy must remember Elise every time he experiences something he experienced in his past life. There must be so many memories and feelings he would want to share with us.'
Angelica chuckled wryly and muttered, "I am such an idiot. He gives all his harem members freedom and lets them talk about whatever they want to talk about… but we never let him share his precious memories.
We all are taking his love and kindness for granted."
Happy new year to everyone reading this!
