Lucy turned to Freya to ask, "You claim to be the Celestial being. Can't you access the vampire world using your powers?"
[No. It's not an open door which we can simply pass through. It requires certain conditions to be t. But yes, of course, I can open the portal to the vampire world.]
"Shouldn't we hurry then?"
[Hear out first. The portal to the vampire world can only be opened when the conditions are t and they depend on the moon and the stars. According to my calculations, we will be able to open the portal after two weeks.]
"That's…. Sigh. Fine. What can we do in the anti?" Lucy wondered. "I don't want to waste ti."
[I suggest eting the Lord again.]
"Uhh… I obviously want to et him, but shouldn't we be preventing that from happening? Nothing good will co out of it."
[Rudy is not a fool. He will discover the truth sooner or later. We should et up with him and beco close to him. We want him to trust us. We shouldn't stay strangers to him.]
"But… how? I ran into him today and running into him again, even by coincidence, will make him suspicious." Lucy muttered.
[I suggest we should tell him what we know.]
"We know everything," Lucy shrugged.
[I believe he has already discovered his powers. We should use that excuse.]
"Argh! I don't know!" Lucy groaned in frustration. She rolled to her bed left and right and ended up falling.
[Have you finally lost your mind because of the mories of multiple wordlines?]
Lucy opened her eyes and comnted, "I like you better when you are quiet and owing all the ti."
After a brief silence, Freya Said, [Agreed. Now I won't speak even if you beg to. Let's see how you manage everything by yourself. Seeing you cry would be a feast to my eyes.]
"You need to work on your anger issues, Celestial being."
Freya walked out of the room in a classic cat style.
"Why do I have to do everything? I didn't ask for all this… I an… I am happy that I have mories… but still… I don't want responsibilities. I am scared of ssing it up."
Lucy got up from the floor and let out a soft sigh. She then grabbed a towel and went straight to the bathroom to calm down.
anwhile, Rudy was still at the water park. He was done for the day and ready to head back ho, but the girls weren't done yet.
'I can't enjoy the sa thing for more than 2 hours. I get it, swimming is fun, but we could do sothing better.'
Rudy was simply feeling left out because the girls seed to be enjoying themselves. He was invited by the girls for the rides, but he turned them down because he wasn't sure about it.
Ever since he discovered his powers, he began to see the normal things in a different way. What if he started to fly in the middle of the slide? What if the rides broke because of his destruction force?
Rudy didn't feel confident enough to have a sense of reassurance to be around people.
"Why are you sitting all alone?" Soone asked Rudy.
It was Reina who ca to talk to Rudy after she found him alone.
"Why are you here? Don't you have things to do?"
"That's what I am doing." She sat beside him and added, "I am on patrol duty."
"A manager doing a patrol duty?" Rudy chuckled. "You have caras all over the park. There is no need for patrol, is there?"
"Caras can be fooled easily, but not by human eyes," Reina responded.
"Must be tough managing this place by yourself." Rudy uttered as he glanced around.
"It is, but it doesn't matter. My little sister helps out at the end of the day. And it's not bad. I can't have a normal life because of the water park, while others dream of having my job. No one can be truly satisfied with their life," Reina asserted in a solemn tone.
She had a distant look on her face, as though sothing troubled her deeply.
Rudy pondered for a few seconds, and said, "I used to think the sa. But… lately, sothing has changed."
"aning?" Reina asked curiously.
"You see, everyone has certain life goals which they want to achieve. But once they have completed their goal, they will feel empty. They would either set a new goal or chase after random things.
Either way, both options are unsatisfactory. They won't have any sense of fulfillnt within them."
"Then what do you suggest? Should one have a near impossible goal which they know they can never achieve?" Reina wondered.
"No. They should just cope with it."
"Uhh… that's a rather anticlimactic solution."
"It works. A life where you keep chasing after sothing becos hell. And a life where you have everything becos… a reason for living hell. Every day, you would expect sothing, only to be disappointed."
Reina squinted her eyes slightly and said, "The way you are speaking makes it seem like you are speaking from personal experience."
"You must be mistaken."
Rudy and Reina watched the sunset together, sharing a lovely mont.
Soon, Alice and Janet returned from the washroom. They had gone to take a fresh shower and change their clothes.
When they returned and saw Rudy with Reina, they asked him various questions. But when he introduced Reina as the owner of the water park, their deanor suddenly changed.
They thanked Reina for letting them use the reserved pool.
After that, they left the water park.
"We can catch the last bus if we hurry. We have 10 minutes to reach the pickup stands," Rudy inford them.
"Slow down. We are exhausted. We can't walk anymore."
"I don't care. Get your assessnt walking or I am leaving you both behind."
"So cruel~"
"Carry us, Rudy."
"I can't carry both of you at the sa ti."
They sohow managed to get to the pickup stand on ti and caught the bus.
