"Alright, the class has ended," the teacher announced. "Be careful on your way home. Remember, this is the only town out of a few neighboring cities that has a school running. The rest of the world is still in the pandemic."

  The school had ended, and everyone had started leaving. Rudy packed his bag too and prepared to leave, but someone hugged him from behind.

  "Rudy~ Let's go~" a cheerful voice that belonged to none other than Rias said.

  "……" Rudy furrowed his brows in annoyance but didn't say anything. He turned to Alice, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Alice, let's go—"

  However, Alice grabbed her bag and left without even making eye contact with Rudy.

  "……"

  Eric had already left after attending the first three lectures.

  "How rude of you, Rudy!" Rias puffed her cheeks and said, "I am inviting you to walk home with me, and here you are ignoring me!"

  Rudy got up from his seat and finally looked at Rias. He shook her head at her and said, "I don't know what to say at this point…"

  Rias and Rudy left the school together and walked their way to Rias' house.

  Rudy glanced at Rias from the corner of his eyes and thought, 'So beautiful!"

  It had been a month since Rudy and Rias met, and they had grown attached to each other since then, at least Rias was.

  "Why are you so clingy to me?" Rudy asked Rias, who was walking beside him while humming cheerfully.

  "I have already told you over a thousand times now!" Rias turned to Rudy and looked into his eyes before saying, "It's because I love you~"

  "Yeah, and I don't believe that," Rudy sighed. "I still can't get over our first meeting."

  After Rudy and Rias met for the first time, Rias jumped on top of Rudy and said, "You are an interesting human~ I will make you mine~"

  "Come on~ I have already apologized for that! Why do you always bring that up?" Rias asked with puffed cheeks.

  "To make you feel guilty," Rudy responded nonchalantly. "You know, I still have nightmares of your house."

  "Aren't you overreacting a little now? I admit that what I did was wrong, but that's because I thought you were a burglar."

  "Yeah, and you didn't see me wearing the school uniform or cared to recognize it even though you were also enrolled in the same school," Rudy remarked.

  Rias averted her gaze and said, "That was my bad…"

  "I will never forgive you for that. You have no idea how scared I was."

  "But it's not like I was serious about killing you. I never harmed you, did I?"

  "You did, actually. You gave me emotional trauma that keeps me awake at night!" Rudy hissed at Rias.

  Rias bit her lips and jumped on Rudy, wrapping her arms around his neck and legs around his waist.

  "What are you—!"

  "Shut up! Just because I am being all kind to you, you are getting on my head now. Maybe I should switch back to the scary vampire girl again."

  "……"

  "I will scare you every day and night. And I will do everything to make you mine~!" she said in a seductive voice.

  "I can't really tell if you are joking or not…" Rudy muttered under his breath.

  "Do you want to test how serious I am?" she asked.

  "……" Rudy padded with Rias on his back. He could feel Rias' big and soft breasts hitting against his back, but Rias was doing that on purpose.

  "How did you fall in love with me anyway? I don't remember anything happening between us. And that's why, I can't take your confession seriously," Rudy asserted in a calm voice.

  "Do I need a reason to love someone?" Rias asked curiously.

  "Yes, you do. Otherwise, it might not be love," Rudy responded. "Maybe you are simply curious about me as I am the first human boy you have ever talked to?"

  "No! It's love! Why can't you understand that?!"

  "Do you have anything to prove your love?" Rudy asked curiously, thinking Rias would give up on him as he was sure she wouldn't have any proof.

  "What do you want me to do for you? I will do anything!"

  "……"

  'What if she truly loves me, though? And what if I am hurting her every time I say she doesn't love me?' Rudy wondered. 'I mean, I would be sad as fuck if the girl I love constantly tells me that I don't love her.'

  Rudy felt a little guilty after thinking about that.

  "We don't even know anything about each other. And besides, you are not human. How are we supposed to have a relationship?"

  "I don't know. But I love you~" Rias nibbled on Rudy's ears and said, "And I want you to love me back~"

  "……"

  "Love me back~!" she yelled.

  "Shut up! Can't you see we are getting stares and glares from people around us?"

  "Why do you always yell at me? I don't understand."

  "……"

  Rias rubbed her cheek against Rudy's cheek and then licked his nape.

  "You know…" Rias looked at the vein on Rudy's nape and said, "I have always wanted to drink your blood ever since I fell in love with you~"

  "Don't you dare do that! You promised me that you would never hurt me, remember?"

  "I did. But my patience is running out. If you don't love me back, then I will have no other choice but to make you my slave and force you to love me back," Rias uttered with a grin on her face.

  "You are joking…… Right?"

  "For the first time, I am not. I am serious about it."

  "Wow. So this is your love, huh? Forcing me to love you back and make me your slave? I knew it! You are only interested in me because I am a human."

  "You realize that there are billions of humans in this world, and I can't take anyone I want, but I am choosing you as my first and the last partner."

  "……"

  "I apologize if I made you angry. I don't understand human customs and thoughts, but I am trying my best to learn them for you," she said in a calm voice.

  "……"

  "Oh!" Rias suddenly exclaimed and got off Rudy's back.

  "What?"

  "I have got an idea!"

  "What…? I am both worried and more worried…"

  "Let's go to your house!"

  "Huh?"

  "I want to meet your mother, whom you praise so much!"

  Oh. Oh! Oh!!
