Rudy ran as fast as possible even though his legs were giving out. The sad look on Rias' face kept flashing before his eyes, giving him a reason and motivation to keep moving forward.
After running for more than 20 minutes, Rudy stopped for a few seconds to catch his breath. His vision was getting blurry because he had never run that fast before.
He took heavy breaths as his heart beat loudly. He felt like his heart was about to explode.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching him and stopping in front of him.
Rudy knew without looking that it was Rias because of her sweet scent. He raised his head to look at her, only to find her grinning at him.
"Why are you grinning?" he asked.
"It was so funny and satisfying to see you running like that," she replied.
"..." Rudy furrowed his brows and asked, "You.. you were watching me this whole time?!"
