Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 915 Celestial Elixir

”Drink this,” Alice said to him.

Taking the cup from her, he inhaled the fragrant steam and felt the warmth seep into his fingers. The aroma was inviting, and he took a sip, savoring the taste. ”This is fantastic,” he commented, his eyes locking onto Aliceʼs.

She smiled, a mixture of fondness and nostalgia in her gaze. ”Itʼs a drink called ʼCelestial Elixirʼ,” she explained. ”Lu Bela brought it. She said it was a popular drink back when she used to live here, thousands of years ago.”

”Even back then, they were handy with names.” Rudy nodded, intrigued by the history behind the drink. ”Itʼs amazing how some things can withstand the test of time,” he mused.

As he continued to sip the celestial elixir, his thoughts turned to the other members of his harem. He turned his attention back to Alice. ”Speaking of the others, where are the girls?” he asked, curiosity coloring his voice.

Aliceʼs lips curled into a gentle smile. ”Rias and Jane were already with you. I havenʼt seen Niti, though.” She answered, her eyes holding a knowing twinkle.

Curiosity tugged at him once again, and he looked at Alice. ”And what about the others?” he inquired.

Aliceʼs smile softened, and she leaned back in her chair. ”Their rooms are ready,” she replied. ”They all went to make their final adjustments and personal touches.”

His curiosity piqued, Rudy nodded. ”Thatʼs good to hear,” he remarked. ”Itʼs nice to know that everyone is settling in comfortably.”

Aliceʼs gaze held a hint of something deeper as she met his eyes. ”And what about you, Rudy? How are you feeling about all of this? This new life.” She asked, her voice soft.

He paused, considering her question. ”I feel... grateful,” he admitted, his gaze sincere. ”Having all of them here, sharing space with me, it means a lot. And knowing that youʼre here too... It makes everything feel even more special. I will convince mom too.”

Aliceʼs smile deepened, a warmth radiating from her. ”Iʼm not living in the castle like the others, though.”

”...”

As Rudy and Alice continued to enjoy their conversation, the topic shifted to more practical matters. Alice looked at Rudy with a playful glint in her eyes. ”So, when are you planning to take me home?” she asked, a hint of mischief in her tone.

Rudy chuckled, his gaze meeting hers. ”Well, I actually have plans to go out with Maria later,” he replied. ”But donʼt worry, Iʼll take you home right after we come back.”

Alice nodded, a small smile gracing her lips. ”Sounds like a plan,” she said. ”I donʼt mind staying here for a while longer.”

Rudyʼs smile was warm as he reassured her. ”Youʼre welcome to stay the night if youʼd like,” he offered. ”Iʼll talk to George about it.”

Aliceʼs smile wavered slightly, and she let out a soft sigh. ”I appreciate that, Rudy,” she began, her voice tinged with a mix of gratitude and concern. ”But I donʼt think he would let me stay at a boyʼs place overnight.”

Rudy chuckled softly, understanding her perspective. ”You have a point,” he admitted. ”But maybe I can convince him. After all, weʼre not just ʼany boy and girl.ʼ Weʼre friends, and youʼre a part of my harem.”

Aliceʼs expression softened, and she met his gaze. ”Thank you, Rudy,” she said sincerely. ”I truly appreciate your efforts. Itʼs just... you know how protective fathers can be.”

Rudy nodded, his own smile gentle. ”I understand, Alice,” he replied. ”But I promise Iʼll do my best to talk to him.”

Alice got up from her chair and smoothly settled herself onto Rudyʼs lap. She nestled against him comfortably, her proximity sending a gentle warmth through his body. With a teasing glint in her eyes, she posed a question that caught him off guard.

”Are you going to go out with Maria naked?” Alice inquired, her tone playfully mischievous.

Rudy couldnʼt help but chuckle at her remark. ”Well, that would definitely be a memorable outing,” he quipped, his eyes dancing with amusement.

”I was surprised to see you naked, but it seemed as though you were oblivious to it.”

Aliceʼs gaze shifted to him once more, a glint of curiosity in her eyes. In response, Rudyʼs fingers snapped, and in an instant, a casual and comfortable set of clothing materialized around his body. His nakedness was swiftly replaced by a laid-back outfit.

Alice looked at him with a raised eyebrow, her lips curling into an amused smile. ”How about now?” he asked, a hint of mischief in his voice.

Aliceʼs laughter rang out as she shook her head in mock exasperation. ”Much better,” she replied, her amusement evident. ”I suppose going out with clothes on is generally the preferred choice.”

Rudy and Alice stood up from their seats, their hands naturally finding each otherʼs, fingers intertwining in a comfortable and familiar way. The connection between them was effortless, a testament to the bonds that had formed within their harem.

They walked side by side, their footsteps echoing softly through the hallways of the castle. The air was filled with a sense of companionship and shared moments as they made their way toward Mariaʼs room.

As they reached Mariaʼs open door, they found her engrossed in giving instructions to an UnderBlade worker about the precise positioning of her vanity table. Rudy knocked on the frame of the door, drawing Mariaʼs attention away from her task.

She turned toward the door, her eyes lighting up as she spotted Rudy and Alice standing there. With an excited gasp, she rushed over to them, enveloping Rudy in a tight hug that conveyed her genuine affection.

”Rudy! Alice! Youʼre here!” Maria exclaimed, her voice bubbling with excitement.

Rudy returned her hug warmly, a fond smile gracing his lips. ”Of course we are, Maria. Your room looks amazing,” he complimented.

Mariaʼs joy seemed to grow even more contagious as she beamed at Rudyʼs approval. ”Iʼm so glad you like it!” she exclaimed.

Rudyʼs gaze shifted slightly, and he cleared his throat gently. ”Actually, I am here to take you out,” he informed her.

Mariaʼs eyes widened with delight, her expression a mix of surprise and anticipation. ”Really? Where are we going?” she asked eagerly.

Rudyʼs grin widened. ”Itʼs a surprise, but be ready in fifteen minutes,” he replied, his tone full of anticipation.

Maria nodded enthusiastically, her excitement bubbling over. ”Absolutely! Iʼll be ready in no time!”

After that, Alice went to check the preparation of her room, while Rudy teleported to Aliceʼs house, knowing well that George wasnʼt there.

He entered Georgeʼs locked room and faced the closet.

”I am always right and hate to be wrong, but this time… I hope I am wrong…” he muttered as he moved his hands towards the closet.
