Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 712 Brother-In-Law

While everyone was having the best time of their lives watching the beautiful sunrise, Ruby was standing in the underwater party hall, watching everything from the glass ceiling.

”I donʼt think you can quite see it clearly.” Rudy suddenly teleported behind her.

Ruby jolted in fear and glared at Rudy.

”I swear you are doing this on purpose!” she yelled.

”I wouldnʼt say no.”

SIGH!

Ruby turned around and looked up at the sky from the sea.

”So, what are you doing here, looking like a loner abandoned by everyone?” Rudy asked.

? ”Nothing. I just got here.”

”Thatʼs a lie.”

Ruby raised her brow at Rudy and said, ”Seriously, have you put a tracker on me or something?”

”No, but I have marked you, so I know your location.”

”Marked… me…? Like… What did you do to me?”

”Remember you kissed me when we first met? I kind of marked you at that time.”

Rubyʼs face flushed when Rudy mentioned the kiss.

”Forget about that kiss! It was the biggest mistake of my life that I regret every day.”

”Is that so?” Rudy grinned and said, ”Well, I, for one, liked that kiss, actually. Your lips are… very kissable.”

Rudy licked his lips seductively while saying that.

Ruby gulped down and backed a few steps from Rudy.

”Why would you say that?” She asked with a confused and curious look on her face.

”I am simply stating the fact.”

”No, no, no. The look in your eyes seems like you are going to jump on me and ravage my body.”

”You know I wonʼt do that.”

”I used to think the same until you walked in on me changing clothes in the hotel room.”

”Come on~ Donʼt act like you were totally naked. You were in your black undies. And hey, you have seen me naked too. I never made a big deal out of it, did I?”

”I didnʼt walk in on you changing clothes. You were already naked. Not to mention, I didnʼt even know you were in Mariaʼs room.”

”Still, we are even now, right?”

”I… guess?”

”Good.”

Ruby glared at Rudy with a judging look on her face and said, ”But you walked into the room on purpose! You knew I still wasnʼt done changing my clothes, yet you barged in.”

”If you know that, then you should also know that I can see anyone naked, even if they are wearing clothes. If I wanted to see your naked figure that badly, I would just stare at you and watch you naked all day.”

”...”

”That was a hypothetical statement. I am saying I could do it if I wanted… not that I ever did it.”

”Thatʼs obviously a lie.” Ruby retorted. ”No one in their sane mind wouldnʼt use that power to look at the girls naked.”

”Thatʼs called ʼabuseʼ, not use. And I have no interest in looking at naked figures of girls I donʼt know.”

Ruby raised her brow and commented, ”So that means you look at naked figures of the girls, you know?”

”Damn, that was a trick question?”

”I am sure you wouldnʼt fall for such an obvious trick question. So…?” She folded her arms and asked, ”Why would you tell me something that could be used against you?”

”I just wanted to prove that I am not a woman predator.”

”Your harem speaks for you. Anyway, what are you doing here? Shouldnʼt you be with Maria?”

”I asked you the same question a while ago, and I still havenʼt gotten my answer. What are you doing here?”

”I already answered that and said I just got here.”

”Thatʼs not a lie, but you came here after the party hours ended. Thatʼs not a coincidence, is it?”

He furrowed his brows and continued, ”I donʼt need your help with my relationships with them. You stay on the deal we made. Donʼt try to change it.”

”I thought you would be happy, what the fuck?”

”And what about you? Are you happy right now?” he asked with a judging look on his face.

”Of course I am. Do I look sad to you?”

”Oh, letʼs see. Watching the sunrise alone from the underwater hall made of glass… hmm~ Does that sound like a memorable experience to you?”

Rudy asked in an annoyed tone, seemingly frustrated by Rubyʼs attempt to hide her sadness.

Ruby turned around and mumbled, ”What does it have to do with you? You should focus on yourself and not get into someoneʼs business.”

”Thatʼs what I am trying to tell you, you stupid bitch.”

”If I am a bitch, then you are an asshole.”

”I would never deny not being an asshole,” Rudy shrugged with a proud look on his face.

”...” Ruby stared at Rudy for a few seconds and let out a laugh. ”Pfft! Whatʼs with you? I can never understand you.”

Rudy hacked into the music system and played Rubyʼs favorite song. Even the glimmering lightsʼ color was changed into Rubyʼs favorite shades.

Rudy moved closer to Ruby and held her hand. He placed his hand on her waist and started dancing with her.

”What… are you… doing?ʼ Ruby asked with a confused face.

”We are dancing.”

”But why?”

”Because you missed the party.”

”And why am I dancing with ʼyouʼ?”

”Because I donʼt see anyone else around.”

Ruby looked into Rudyʼs eyes and shook her head.

”I seriously canʼt understand whatʼs going through that head of yours. Sometimes, you are like a charming prince, while the rest of them, you are…”

Ruby stopped without finishing her sentence.

”Whatever you were trying to say… I think I would rather prefer that one instead of being a charming prince. Thatʼs not my thing.”

”You may not think of yourself as one, but I am sure the girl sees you as a dashing, handsome…. charming… powerful… mischievous…. prince.”

”Ughh~ Stop. I am not used to someone praising me that much.”

”They are not my words, by the way. For me, you are…”

”I am…?” Rudy asked with a grin.

”For me, you are just my brother-in-law.”
