Chapter 237 Conflicted
"Yawndere?" Jane muttered with a puzzled look on her face. "What's there? A name of a monster?"
"No. It's a term used to define the personality of someone."
"Oh? What does Yawndere mean?" Jane asked curiously.
"Obsessive lover," Rudy answered awkwardly.
"Oh?" Jane's face flushed. "Is that a compliment?"
"No." Rudy shook his head and explained, "A yandere is a girl who is often violent or has a psychotic level of devotion to a love interest. They get jealous when their lover talks with the opposite gender. And they go as far as to harm someone to get their lover's attention. They don't care what their lover thinks, and they want their lover to love them as much as they love them."
"I won't go that far!"
"Well... you actually did." Rudy pointed his gaze at Jane's hands that were pinning him on the wall and said, "I just said the teacher was beautiful, and you suddenly got angry and kissed me after punishing me against the wall. That was the first stage of becoming a yandere."
Rudy had already started regretting calling Jane a yandere. He only said that as a joke, but it turned serious.
"If I am a yandere, then you are on a whole other level," Jane commented with a haughty face.
"Excuse me?" Rudy raised his brow and asked, "When did I ever act like a yandere?"
"Arara~ Did the human forget how he got jealous when I was drinking an animal's milk," Jane remarked with a smirk on her face.
'She is using my lines on me!'
"I was just acting possessive. There is a difference between obsessive and possessive."
"You called me a yandere, so you are one too. Hmph!"
"What are we even doing?" Rudy sighed. "Let's stop this nonsense and look around. You also have to meet the headmaster or whatever, right?"
Rudy was even more conflicted than before. He was going to take Jane and Rias to the human world regardless of what would happen next.
'Alright. I have decided. I will buy a big house. I will need a lot of money, and I can't make that much from gambling. I also need money to pay off Reina's debt.'
'Wait, what if I drop Rias and Jane at Reina's place? She has a big place, and they would surely love it. I will settle Reina's debt and also start working on the next project to make the place a theme park.'
'Now, I need money. I still don't want to do something illegal like stealing, but what if I rob the bad guys? There are lots of corrupt people in the world. Maybe... I should try different methods. I have superpowers, so I should use them.'
Rudy wanted to earn money in a legal way, but that wasn't his main problem. Even if he stole money from evildoers, he would eventually run out of money. Rudy wanted a passive source of income that could earn him money every day.
'Hmm. I just got many ideas. I will try them once we go back to the human world.'
"Rudy? Is everything alright?" Jane asked with a concerned look on her face after seeing the dazed expression on his face.
"Yeah. I am alright. I just had some amazing ideas that can change everything in my life!" he said excitedly.
"Wait..." Rudy raised his brow and asked, "Did you just call me by my name?"
Jane's face flushed red, and she nodded meekly.
"I thought I should start calling you by your name. But now, you also have to call me by my name, okay?"
"As you wish, princess," he teased with a grin on his face.
Jane puffed her cheeks and walked away, but she didn't seem angry. After walking a few steps, she turned around with a bright smile on her face and said, "Follow me, dummy!"
"...." Rudy followed Jane and caught up to her in a mere second.
"Where are we going?" he asked curiously.
"I want you to see my classroom. And before you ask, it was Rias' classroom too."
Jane held Rudy's hand and intertwined her fingers with his. She walked hastily but slowed down when they reached the stairs. She kept a firm grip and led Rudy to her classroom.
'I wish to see that smile on your face all the time...'
