Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 791 Just A Regular Siblingʼs Fight

ʼWalk in a few.ʼ Rebecca pondered on Rudyʼs words before he suddenly vanished.

”What did he mean? Maybe he didnʼt want to enter the house simultaneously?” Rebecca looked at her wristwatch and muttered, ”I will walk in once the secondʼs hand reaches 12.”

Rebecca patiently waited for a minute to pass, but then she remembered she was still wearing Eleanorʼs sunglasses and hat.

ʼI think I should take them off. I have no need to wear them inside the house.ʼ

Once a minute had passed, Rebecca moved her hand to open the door.

ʼWait… Jessica and Lilim stayed the night here. And Joe returned from his trip too. I was out all night, so I donʼt know what they did last night. Joe went to sleep as he was tired, but Rudy and the girls were awake.

Keeping Lucy aside… What if Lilim and Jessica… no, they are already indulged in an intimate relationship with Rudy, so there shouldnʼt be an ʼifʼ involved. They definitely fucked last night.ʼ

Rebecca suddenly gasped in realization and covered her mouth with her hand.

ʼIs that why Rudy asked me to wait for a few minutes before entering the house? He wanted to erase all the evidence! No, you wonʼt! I will catch you red-handed!ʼ

Once again, Rebecca had opened the door of her judging-nation and already come to a conclusion without even knowing a fragment of the story.

She hurriedly opened the door and walked in, only to see Rudy lying half-naked on the couch with Lucy on top of him.

Rudy smiled a little and closed his eyes, seemingly, he had accepted his fate.

Lucy was so focused on taking the remote back from Rudy that she hadnʼt noticed Rebecca.

”Whatʼs going on here?” Rebecca asked with a furious look on her face.

”Rebecca! Look! He is teasing me!”

”You are on top of him. How is he teasing you?”

”I was watching TV, and he suddenly turned it off! I am trying to get the remote from him!”

Rebecca scanned Rudyʼs hands with her eyes to look for the remote.

”There are other proper ways to get the remote back. You didnʼt have to get so close to him. Even if he is your brother, he is a boy with no blood relation to you. As a girl, you should be careful about all that,” Rebecca explained calmly but with an angry face.

”And why are you half-naked?!” She then shifted her anger to Rudy.

ʼI just wanted to hurry and get out of the bathroom because mom could enter at any minute. But… I improvised my plan, and then there was a minor unexpected turn of events.ʼ

Of course, Rudy could say that.

”I just came out of the bathroom.”

Rebecca squinted her eyes but didnʼt ask more questions to Rudy.

”Mom! Please tell Rudy to give me the remote back!”

”Rudy, give her—” Rebecca suddenly stopped and turned to Lucy. ”Did you just call me mom?”

”Yes…” Lucy meekly nodded. ”Is it okay if I call you that? Because calling you Rebecca feels weird when Rudy is around. And I donʼt want to call you aunty or something. I consider that disrespectful.”

ʼI am pretty sure calling someone by their name is more disrespectful, but thatʼs my opinion,ʼ Rudy uttered inwardly.

”No, no. I am fine with that. You can call me ʼmomʼ if you want to. In fact, I would rather prefer you call me that all the time, not just when Rudy is around. I think of you as my daughter, so nothing makes me happier than you calling me mom.”

Rebecca repeatedly shot glances at Rudy while saying that.

”...”

”And Rudy thinks of you as his sister, so feel free to call him brother if you want,” she shortly added.

ʼI saw that coming. I knew she wouldnʼt miss the chance to slip that in.ʼ

Lucy looked at Rudy from the corner of her eyes and said, ”I would call him brother if he calls me sister.”

”Okay, lil sis.”

”Donʼt add lil!”

”But you are younger than me, so technically, logically, naturally, legally, practically, and whatever -ally has left— you should be called my lil sis.”

”Then I will call you little brother,” she said while licking her lips.

ʼOh, man. How did she turn out like this? Is she on some medication that turns on her switch?ʼ

”Enough of this. Rudy give her the remote. Why would you turn it off in the first place?”

ʼBecause she was watching a really questionable movie. But if I tell that to mom, Lucy will realize that I was faking my interest in the movie and already knew everything about it.

And then she would say, ʼIf you have watched it, why canʼt I?ʼ

I know Lucyʼs character very well. After all, she was the first girl to get close to Rudy in the other timeline. Well, anyway, I honestly canʼt let Lucy watch that movie.ʼ

”Lucy said she is going out with her friends—without telling either of us, by the way— but now she is watching a movie. I will handle the breakfast, but she has yet to bathe.

Not to mention, the movie just started five minutes ago, and it will run for… I donʼt know, maybe two hours. Now, I think thatʼs enough reason to turn off the TV.”

”But I wasnʼt going to watch the entire movie in one go! I was going to watch until breakfast was ready.”

”You could have taken a bath in the meantime,” Rebecca suggested.

”But Rudy was bathing.”

”And I finished. After which, I turned off the TV because you werenʼt behaving.”

”Argh! Fine!” Lucy got up from the couch and glared at Rudy. ”I will remember this! You better watch out!”

”...”

After saying that, she went to Rebeccaʼs room to get her clothes and then entered the bathroom.

ʼThe last time she said that in the other world line, Rudy had to sleep at Ericʼs house for a week. But… thatʼs not bad in this world. I would gladly spend a week with Elena.ʼ
