"What did you…say…?" Reina asked with a completely baffled look on her face, as though she couldn't fathom what Rudy just said.
"There is a ghost girl sitting beside you, and she is the first member of my harem," Rudy repeated himself, but this time in a calmer tone.
"Ghost as in… the horror stories…?" she asked hesitantly.
"Umm… not exactly, but similar, yeah…" Rudy nodded with an awkward smile on his face as he shot a glance at Angelica, who was pouting for some reason.
"Umm… I am not saying I don't believe you, but can you give any proof? I mean, you could be just messing with me, and then make fun of me…" she muttered in a low voice.
Rudy gestured to Angelica to do something, but she ignored Rudy at first.
'Why are you suddenly so angry?' Rudy asked using telepathy.
Angelica puffed her cheeks and said, "I was okay with you telling her everything. But why did you tell her about me?"
'What do you mean? I am going to tell every girl about you,' Rudy stated.
"But why?" she asked with a puzzled look on her face.
SIGH!
Rudy let out a weary sigh and opened his mouth to speak without using telepathy, so even Reina could hear what he wanted to say.
"Listen, if you think that I will let you stay alone when I am not around. Or that you will live the rest of your time without making any friends, then you are wrong," Rudy asserted.
Then, he looked into Angelica's eyes and said, "You are not alone."
"...."
Angelica's puffed cheeks slowly went back to normal, and her glare turned into gaze.
"Fine~" she groaned and jumped into the pool.
Reina watched as the water in the pool rippled and moved forward as though someone was swimming in the pool.
"Do you want more proof?" Rudy asked with a smirk on his face.
"How would I know that you are not doing this using one of your powers?" Reina asked with a judging look on her face.
"You have got a point…" Rudy turned to Angelica and said, "Can you…?"
"I don't mind, but are you sure?" Angelica asked with a knowing look on her face. "This would be my first time trying it, and��� anything can happen."
Rudy nodded with a smile and said, "Yes."
"I love you," Angelica uttered with a wide smile on her face.
"I love you too."
Reina squinted her eyes at Rudy and tried to say something, but Rudy pointed his gaze at the water and said, "You might want to look there."
Reina glanced at the pool and saw the water slowly forming a shape of a body, and it slowly became more and more visible.
"...!"
Soon, Angelica became visible to Reina, but she was transparent.
"Can she see me?" Angelica asked Rudy.
"Judging by her reaction, I would say yes, she can."
Reina immediately turned to Rudy and said, "How would I know you are not making me see this using your powers?"
"Wow… You just gave me another power idea: illusion." Rudy pondered for a while and said, "I will try it later."
A few seconds later, Angelica was fully visible to Reina.
"Is she truly a ghost?" Reina muttered under her breath. "She looks so beautiful. Just like a doll."
Angelica furrowed her brows at Reina and said, "You homewrecker."
"She is speaking!" Reina exclaimed. She then turned to Rudy and said, "She is speaking?!"
"Well, obviously. And I think you should focus on what she said," Rudy remarked.
Angelica walked out of the pool and sat between Reina and Rudy.
"She is so cute!" Reina said out loud.
"She is the ghost from the abandoned tunnel," Rudy informed nonchalantly.
"What…? The ghost who has been rumored to kill dozens of people?" Reina asked with an anxious look on her face.
"No." Rudy shook his head and said, "Angelica is innocent."
Reina stared at Angelia for a while and said, "So… how did you meet her? In the tunnel, I assume? But… wait…"
She squinted her eyes at Rudy and stared at him with a judging look on her face. She shook her head in disbelief and asked, "Correct me if I am wrong, but you said she is the first member of your harem, right?"
"That's what I said."
"So… that means you have… kissed her?!" Reina exclaimed.
Angelica hugged Rudy's arms and shot a glance at Reina. Then, she licked her lips and said with a smirk on her face: "He fucks me like a beast every night."
"...!" Reina glared at Rudy and shouted, "You had sex with a ghost? A ghost?! Seriously?!"
"Before you judge me or comment about this topic. Try touching Angelica and tell me how it feels," Rudy said in a calm voice.
Reina reluctantly moved her finger towards Angelica and poked her shoulders. However, Reina immediately retracted her finger after touching Angelica.
"How does her body feel?" Rudy asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.
"It feels like she is… alive…" Reina replied.
Rudy shrugged his shoulders and said, "There you have it."
"But still, how horny you could be that you fucked a ghost…" Reina muttered. "I am not trying to judge your relationship. I mean, our relationship is not normal either. But…"
Angelica frowned her face at Reina and said, "Just admit that you are jealous that I have had sex with him, but you have not."
Reina averted her gaze and said, "That's definitely not the reason."
"You are so easy to read," Angelica commented.
'Wow. I didn't guess that at all. I guess girls can understand girls better,' Rudy uttered inwardly.
AHEM!
He cleared his throat and said, "Listen, Angelica, Reina; I want you two to get along."
"You are asking too much!" Angelica and Reina said at the same time.
"I am not saying that you have to become best friends or anyone. You two just met, so I don't expect you to get along. But at least, don't become enemies."
"I guess I did steal you away from her, so it's natural for her to be a little upset with me. That's why, I don't mind becoming friends with her." Reina moved her hand forward at Angelica to shake hands with her and waited for Angelica to respond.
Rudy and Reina watched as Angelica moved her hand towards Reina's hand. But suddenly, she raised her hands and slapped Reina's breasts.
"They are the reason why you were able to seduce him!" she said as she slapped them again.
Reina covered her breasts and glanced at Rudy with teary eyes.
"Is that true?" she asked. "Do you like big boobs?"
"Don't bring me into this…" Rudy groaned.
Big ones, or the small ones. That was the question every man feared. While some preferred small ones, most preferred big ones.
But it wasn't as though they didn't like the opposite of their choices. One couldn't wish for big ones if their partner and small ones, and vice versa.
However, Rudy was going to touch all types of breasts sooner or later. And he was bound to be asked the question: Do you like big ones or the small ones?
Rudy honestly had no idea what to say because he himself wasn't sure of that.
Big ones are soft and bouncy, while small ones are easy to grab. Then there are flat chests, and flat is justice.
Rudy truly didn't want to answer the question. But he knew he had chosen either of them.
However, Rudy suddenly thought of an idea that could save him from this dilemma.
He slowly opened his mouth and answered, "I like the medium size."
"..."
"..."
Angelica and Reina squinted their eyes at Rudy and said, "Do you think we are stupid?"
SIGH!
Rudy let out a weary sigh and said, "Listen."
After a brief pause, he looked them into their eyes and continued, "Size doesn't matter."
"..."
"..."
"Unless you are talking about dick's size, of course," he then added.
"You could just say that you like the big ones, you know?" Angelica nudged Rudy and uttered, "Since small ones can get big, but big can't get small."
"..."
Rudy moved one hand toward Angelica's chest and another one at Reina's chest. Then, he grabbed their one breast and gently squeezed them.
"Mnh~" Reina moaned.
"Nmh~" Angelica moaned.
"See? Both of you felt an equal amount of pleasure, so I don't understand why you girls are always so sensitive about the topic related to breasts," Rudy scoffed.
"Just curious, but how were your girlfriend's breasts?" Reina asked with a curious look on her face.
"Ummm… a little bigger than the medium size." Rudy squeezed his hand in the air and said, "They fit perfectly in my grasp as though they were crafted for me."
Reina and Angelica shook their heads in disbelief after hearing Rudy's response. They had deadpan expressions on their faces.
"What's with that look? I answered honestly, by the way."
"I just realized something that Angelica might have realized a long time ago," Reina uttered.
"And that is…?" Rudy asked curiously as his ears twitched to hear more.
"That no matter how hard we try or how much we love and devote ourselves to you, we would never be able to win against your girlfriend," Reina stated with a soft sigh.
"That's not true. I will love all the girls equally…." Rudy stopped and uttered, "All as in the girls who love me."
Reina pulled Rudy close to her and started kissing her after saying, "For now, you are mine."
Rudy expected Angelica to interfere or stop Reina, but she simply watched them.
However, after realizing how the events were happening, Angelica got up and said, "I will go play around in the waterpark. You two enjoy and have some 'fun' in the meantime."
