"Uhm… you have promised many things. I am not sure which promise you are talking about."
"The promise I made when we celebrated your birthday together for the first ti."
"Huh? What are you trying to say?" she asked with a confused look on her face.
Rudy conjured two ice cream cones in her hands, one was chocolate, and another was strawberry.
"Which one would you like, Rebecca?"
"If I have to choose, then it would be Straw… wait, did you just call by my na?"
"Yes."
"That's bad manners."
"Oh, co on. That's what you are surprised about? You didn't even react when I used my powers in front of you. "
"Huh… oh!" Rebecca covered her mouth with her hand and stepped back in surprise. Her eyes widened as the shock was evident on her face.
"Took you a while to realize," he chuckled.
"Oh, no! What have you done!"
"Huh?"
"You weren't supposed to reveal your powers to or tell anything!" she said furiously. "You ruined everything."
"What do you an? I thought you would be happy if I—"
"No! I already knew about your powers! I was waiting for you to rember everything before telling you—"
Rudy placed his hands on Rebecca's shoulder and said, "I know. And I rember everything now!"
Rebecca panicked after Rudy revealed his powers in front of her, but she cald down after hearing that he rembered everything.
"So… you rember everything?" Rebecca asked curiously.
"Yes. Well, more like I experienced it… first hand," he sighed. "I said the sa thing to Rias. I need to think of a new line now."
"What do you rember?" Rebecca asked impatiently.
"Everything."
"Why should I believe you? What if you are lying?" she asked with a judging look on her face.
"Wow. Are you seriously suspecting your son?"
"No, I am suspecting Rudy."
"..."
"Answer , please. It's very important for ."
"I am not lying. I just returned from 1990 and ca straight to you… after taking so stops in between to et the girls."
"The girls?" Rebecca raised her brow.
"Uhm… you know about my harem, right?"
Rebecca squinted her eyes and asked, "Your what?"
'Oh great, she doesn't know about that. Well done, Rudy. Well done.'
"Let's talk about that later. Tell more about you. Why were you freaking out when I revealed my powers?"
"That's…"
"And tell everything. What happened after I… disappeared? I have so many questions, but I am sure you already know what I am going to ask."
Rebecca nodded and said, "Yes. Go sit on the couch, I will be right back."
Rudy sat on the living room couch while Rebecca went to her room and returned with the diary in her hand.
She showed it to Rudy and asked, "I have shown you this before, and I asked if you rembered this, but you said no. I will ask again, do you know this diary?"
Rudy shook his head and said, "No. It's my second ti seeing it. What's it about?"
Rebecca placed the diary on the table and sat beside Rudy as if it was going to be a long talk.
"Ask anything you want, and I promise I will answer them honestly," she said calmly.
"Well, let's start in chronological order. Who are my real parents?"
"I don't know. I never saw them."
"How did you adopt ?"
"After we celebrated my birthday that night, and Jessica, Lilim, and I fell asleep, Elena suddenly barged into the room and hugged us all.
Jessica and Lilim were asleep, but I woke up because of how rough Elena was. I asked her what had happened, but she didn't say anything. She was crying and panicking. Her body was trembling, and she seed so scared that I thought she would break if I asked her more questions.
A few minutes passed, and Elena… she fell asleep while hugging us, but I later learned she had a breakdown and had passed out. I was still confused, so I thought I would ask you what was happening.
I left my room and went upstairs, thinking you were sleeping there, but you weren't. So I searched the entire house, but you were nowhere to be seen. I even assud that you did sothing to Elena and scared her.
At that ti, I looked outside the kitchen window and saw… a bright ball. It was coming closer, and it seed as though it was the second sun. For a second, it ca so close that it blinded , just like one would feel when soone turns a flashlight on their face at night.
I only closed my eyes for a second, but when I opened them, the ball wasn't there, and everything had turned silent. I saw colors moving in the space but didn't pay any attention to it.
Still, I was curious, so I left the house and went outside so I could get a clear view of the sky. For so reason, I felt really sad while looking at the sky, and I started crying without even realizing.
I only noticed when my vision got blurry. I wiped my tears and looked up again, but I didn't feel the sa again. I decided to go back inside the house, so I opened the door, but it was automatically closed by a strong force.
I got shivers. I felt sothing was standing behind , but I couldn't dare to turn around and look. So I courageously moved my hand to open the door again, but a voice stopped this ti.
'Child, you have been chosen for an important task.' The voice had said.
For so reason, all my fear vanished after hearing the sweet and ethereal voice. I tried to turn around, but the voice stopped .
'Halt and don't turn around, for you must stay ignorant and still have faith.'
My 12-year-old brain couldn't understand that, and I still turned around. And… I saw a baby… floating in front of . It was wrapped in a silky and warm blanket. I was surprised and imdiately took the baby in my arms."
"It was…. ?" Rudy asked the obvious.
"Yes."
