Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 561 B For Beach

They all ate dinner together, and then Rudy took them out to an ice cream shop to buy them whatever they wanted.

Jessica and Rias were the ones who ate the most. Rebecca and Elena were second to them, while Rudy only ate three cups.

After eating ice cream, Rudy asked Jessica where she wanted to go, and as always, she asked to go to the water park.

”The waterpark is closed today.”

”You are lying!”

”I am not. They are adding a few small slides for the kids. So the actual water park is not closed, but the kidsʼ pool is. And I am not letting you or Rebecca swim in the adult pool.”

Jessica puffed her cheeks in no time and said, ”Then letʼs go to a different water park.”

”There are no water parks in the neighboring cities. And why are you so obsessed with water parks?” Rudy asked with a judging look on his face and commented, ”You get all lazy when you have to take a bath every morning.”

”Bath is a bath, and water park is a water park!”

”Well, canʼt deny that.” Rudy pondered for a few seconds and said, ”How about we go to a beach?”

”A beach…?” Jessica looked at Rebecca and asked, ”Is that where the sea and the land meet?”

”Yes.”

”Can we swim there?”

”If you want to.”

”Will there be slides?!” she asked excitedly.

”Of course not.”

”Then I donʼt want to go.”

Rudy grabbed Jessica and picked her up in his arms.

”No~! Put me down! I donʼt want to go!”

They were still at the ice cream shop, and the people started giving Rudy glares after Jessica yelled:

”I donʼt want to go! Put me down! I want to go home!”

Rudy stared into Jessicaʼs eyes to scare her off, but that didnʼt work.

”Alright.” Rudy let go of Jessica and shrugged his shoulders before saying, ”If you donʼt want to go, then I cannot force you.”

”Hmph!”

”You know the direction to the house, right?” Rudy handed the house keys to Jessica and said, ”Here.”

”....” Jessica glanced back and forth at Rudy and Rebecca with a confused look on her face.

She took the keys from Rudy and asked, ”Why are you giving me this?”

”Because you are going home.”

”What about you all?” she asked nervously.

”We are going to the beach.”

”Huh? Why?”

”Because we want to?”

”But I am not coming.”

”And?”

”You canʼt go without me!” Jessica jugged Rudy and said, ”Stay with me!”

Rudy, once again, received glares from the people around him.

”Rebecca, Elena, and Rias want to go, and you are the only one who doesnʼt want to go. Itʼs 3:1, so I have to take them to the beach.”

Jessicaʼs eyes got teary as she said, ”I want to go too!”

ʼWell, that worked. I kind of feel bad, but I had to teach her a lesson that she canʼt get everything by demanding or sulking over it. She has also been too much of an attention seeker lately, but I donʼt mind that in the least,ʼ Rudy uttered inwardly.

”Alright then, letʼs go to a mall and buy your girls some nice swimsuits for the beach?”

”Didnʼt we buy one recently?” Rebecca asked.

”Whatʼs wrong with getting another one?” Rudy shrugged and turned to Elena and Rias. ”I highly doubt Rias has one, and I donʼt think Elena has bought one recently.”

”I havenʼt.” Elena shook her head. ”Beaches and water parks are not my things. And I have been alone most of my high school life, so I never got a chance to go out that much. No one likes to go to those places alone, right?”

”It depends, I guess? I am not an extrovert, but I canʼt say I am an introvert, either. But yeah, I wouldnʼt go to those places alone unless I am going for a different reason.”

Afterward, they went to the mall and bought swimsuits for girls. However, he didnʼt expect to get pressured by the girl to buy one for himself too.

Rudy didnʼt plan to swim, so he didnʼt want one, but he decided to buy one in case he changed his mind.

They then got on the bus and reached the beach within an hour.

”Itʼs almost 4 PM right now. We will leave after watching the sunset, so letʼs hope we donʼt get kicked out before that. Some beaches have time schedules.”

Even though Jessica wasnʼt interested in coming to the beach, she was the one who enjoyed it the most.

Rebecca didnʼt swim much, but she stayed with Jessica to keep her eyes on her. Elena was with them, too, while Rias was with Rudy.

”You donʼt want to swim?” Rudy asked her.

”I want to, but… there are too many humans around and… I might lose control…” she muttered.

”But you donʼt feel the thirst for blood like the other vampires, right?”

”Yes, but if you see too much food, you would want to at least take a bite, right?”

”Err… this is my first time hearing you mention humans as food. I am somewhat surprised, to be honest.”

”Do you hate me now?”

”Of course not. But if you really want to taste the food so badly, you can have my blood.”

”Are you sure?”

”If you want to,” Rudy shrugged.

Rias gazed at Rudyʼs neck and gulped down. She licked her lips as her fangs slowly grew.

”What if someone saw us?”

”Donʼt worry, I will take care of that,” Rudy reassured.

Rias brought her face close to Rudyʼs neck and opened her mouth to bite Rudy. However, just as her fangs were about to penetrate Rudyʼs skin, Rebecca yelled his name.

”Wait a minute.”

Rudy used his vision ability to see at a distance, and he saw Elena under the water with only her head above the water.

Sure, that wasnʼt strange, but the water wasnʼt that deep.

”Something is wrong. I will be right back.”

Rudy rushed to the girls and asked, ”Whatʼs wrong?”

Rebecca pointed her finger at Elena and said, ”Her top…”
