Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 805 Before The Meeting

Reina asked him to come closer and said, ”I am looking for a button, but canʼt find it. I think itʼs in one of the three drawers. Can you use your power to…?”

”I sure can. Tell me, how does it look?”

”Itʼs… black… shiny…”

Rudy activated his see-through ability and scanned through the drawers. He then turned to Reina and said, ”Nope. Not in the drawers.”

”Oh…”

”Was it… important?”

”Not really. It wasnʼt mine. As you know my little sister Rina comes to visit me sometime. The last time she came, a button from her dress had come off. I found it later that night when I was cleaning, and I put it on the desk.

Today, she is coming here and she must have noticed the dress was missing the button, so she called me and asked me if I had found it. I said yes. But now that I am looking for it… I may have misplaced it somewhere.”

”Wait, your sister is coming?” Rudy asked with a hint of surprise in his voice.

”Yes.”

”But I told you today would be the meeting of the girls.”

”Donʼt worry. She is coming here as a customer. She is bringing her friends along to have fun in the water park.”

”We can arrange the meeting at the pool house,” Alice quipped.

”I canʼt come to the pool house. I have to be present here. Also, the vampire gang is at the pool house. Jane and Rias canʼt be present in the same room while discussing the harem.”

Alice shot a glance at Rudy and said, ”That issue still hasnʼt been solved?”

”Rias is working on it. Give her one day.”

”How are we going to discuss without either of them?”

”Pick one, then,” Rudy shrugged. ”And I know Jane. She wonʼt join the meeting.”

”We will handle that.” Janet stepped closer to Rudy and stood in front of him.

”You sure can…”

”The question is, what will you do? You are not allowed to sit in the meeting.”

”I will enjoy the pools. Stare at beautiful girls.”

”...”

”I am joking.” Rudy walked to the door and waved his hand before saying, ”Not really.”

”Rudy. Can you work as a lifeguard for today?”

”Whatʼs my wage?”

”Hmm~” Reina hummed in amusement and pondered for a few seconds before replying, ”The time you spent as a lifeguard would give you a free ticket to spend equal, if not more, time with me.”

”Oh~ Nice~”

Rudy went to the storeroom and changed his clothes to the lifeguardʼs uniform. Then, he proceeded to climb the lifeguardʼs post and made himself comfortable.

”...” Janet fell silent after Rudy left and crashed on the couch.

Alice and Reina glanced back and forth at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

”Should we not inform the girls about our arrival?” Alice asked curiously.

”I donʼt think there is any need. Rias and Jane must have already sensed his presence.”

Meanwhile, Rudy was playing an indie game on his phone to pass the time. If it was someone other than Rudy, they would have already been fired for using their phone on duty, especially as a lifeguard, since their one mistake could endanger the lives of many.

However, Rudy did not need to pay attention to his surroundings since he was fully aware of everything. He didnʼt have to use his eyes to monitor them, as he had his super senses active.

”Whatʼs up?” he suddenly uttered.

”Oh! Someoneʼs using his power the right way today,” a cheerful voice responded.

It was Rias.

”I always use my powers the right way.”

”You mean during sex?” she chuckled.

Rudy glanced at Rias from the corner of his eyes and said, ”You wouldnʼt know.”

”Why do you look angry?”

”You tell me.”

”When will the castle be ready?” Rias sharpened her gaze and let out a soft sigh.

”In a few hours. Hopefully, before evening.”

”Then tomorrow it is. As I have said before, I only need a room and a bed.”

Rudy took a moment to reflect and turned to Rias.

”Do you think that is a good idea? Is there no other way to take this ʼrevengeʼ of yours?”

”There is. But what kind of revenge would it be if I could not take it to the extreme and do the exact same thing that she did to me?”

SIGH!

”Well, I have already announced my promise to not interfere with any of my haremʼs personal matters. I could stop you from taking your revenge on Jane, but… even if I do, you twin wonʼt be the same… ever. So finish this rivalry and go back to being normal.”

Rias inserted her hands in the pockets of her hoodie and stretched them down.

”Just so you know, you are standing out in that outfit of yours.”

Rias was wearing casual clothes, unlike everyone else around who were in their swimsuits.

”What a world it is… covering my body instead of being half-naked is considered abnormal,” Rias commented in an emotionless voice while staring at something in the distance.

”....”

Rias stood there without saying a word, while Rudy didnʼt know what to say in response.

It was an awkward moment, and their interaction had paused.

”Where are the others?” Rudy broke the silence.

”On the way.”

”What about Jane? Is she coming?”

”Asleep. She was watching a cartoon about vampires.”

”You mean anime,” Rudy corrected her.

”I canʼt tell the difference.”

”Cartoons are for children, while anime is for… everyone, I guess?”

”Oh. Then that anime seemed pretty childish to me, so that means it is a cartoon for me.”

ʼShe is in a bad mood, alright.ʼ Rudy uttered inwardly. ʼLetʼs hope Janet doesnʼt say something stupid in front of Rias. I could use my ability to hear their conversation and spy on their meeting, but letʼs not do that. I will respect their privacy.ʼ

”Just because you can travel freely under the sun doesnʼt mean you should forget about the risk of being seen by others,” Lilim commented as she stopped near the post.

”Thatʼs right,” Angelica seconded.
