Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

The employee handed Freya to Lucy and said, "She is all good. But please bring her for a check-up every two weeks, or at least once a month."

"Sure."

Rudy and Lucy left the vet and made their way to the pet shop to get the collar for Freya.

Fortunately, it was already named, so they paid for it and the food they had bought and left in a hurry as the last bus was arriving soon.

They reached the pick-up point soon and waited for the bus.

"Why don't you sit on the bench while you can?" Rudy commented.

"Hmm?"

"Well, there are chances that we won't get a seat this time either since this is a rush hour and the transports are usually crowded by this time," Rudy stated.

"No way! I am not standing again! My legs are so tired! They are going to hurt a lot tomorrow when I wake up! How will I go to school then?"

"I can carry you if you want," Rudy said jokingly.

"I will trust you on that," Lucy responded.

"..."

Lucy sat on the bench and glanced at Rudy without saying a word. Seemingly, she wanted him to sit beside her.

Rudy wasn't tired, but he decided to sit and enjoy the nice view of the cloudy sky.

"I told you it was going to rain soon," Lucy commented.

"It won't."

"How can you be so sure?! I know that the weather forecast is not always accurate, but come on. The sky is so cloudy, and the wind is so… windy."

"I am sure because I know it won't happen."

"Whatever!" Lucy puffed her cheeks and muttered, "Hmph!"

"..."

A few seconds later, she glanced at Rudy from the corner of her eye and said, "If it rains, you will have to do one thing, as I say."

"..."

"And what if it does?" Rudy asked curiously.

"Then I will give you a candy."

"Oi! Make it fair."

"Fine~ I will also do one thing as you say."

"Are you sure about this?" Rudy asked with a knowing look on his face.

"Yes. Because I know it will rain."

Rudy smirked from the corner of his lips and inwardly uttered, 'Now, I must make sure it doesn't rain.'

Rudy glanced at Freya and found her glaring at him.

'Of course, she doesn't like me.'

"Want to hold her?"

"No."

"Wow. You refused instantly. Were you just waiting for me to ask that?" she commented with a judging look on her face.

"No. But it's a normal question any pet owner would ask."

"Do you not like cats?"

"It's not that. I am just… not good with them…"

"Aww~ So you are afraid of them?"

"No…"

"Then try holding her. She is calm and nice, and she likes everyone."

'I know. But she didn't like me in the least! Whenever I tried to hold or pat her, she scratched my hands.'

Lucy pointed her finger at her lap and said, "Go ahead and pick her up."

'I don't think she can scratch me this time even if she tries, so there is no harm.'

Rudy slowly moved his hand to Freya and held her in his arms. Surprisingly, she did nothing to Rudy, but the glare in her eyes stayed unfazed.

"What now?" he asked Lucy.

"Nothing. Play with her, I guess?"

Rudy squeezed Freya's face and changed her expression, but the glare didn't change.

After a while, the bus arrived, and they quickly got on the bus. However, there was only one empty seat. Fortunately, no one got on the bus with them, so the seat was safe.

But, now, one of them had to sit, and one had to stand. Of course, Rudy was going to let Lucy sit as she was tired.

"Go sit," he said while pointing his gaze at the empty seat.

"What about you?"

"I will stand. Maybe someone will get up at the next stop."

"Or they will get on, and the crowd will increase," she commented.

Lucy agreed to sit on the seat, but she couldn't watch Rudy stand, so she got up and whispered, "How about you sit on the seat, and I sit on you?"

"What?"

"That way, we both can sit."

Rudy wasn't up for it, but he didn't care, so he sat on the empty seat and let Lucy sit on his lap. However, he soon regretted his action after his little brother woke up from a slumber.

Rudy thought Lucy would simply sit on the edge of his lap, but she was sitting on top of him, quite literally. Her hips were perfectly aligned with Rudy's crotch.

'Yeah. Something is surely up. One after another, such events keep happening. I honestly don't mind it, but come on. Why with my mother and sister?'

The bus they were riding was old, shaking up and down a lot, especially on the back seat where Rudy and Lucy were sitting.

The more time passed, the more Lucy's body moved up and down and stimulated Rudy's body with a feeling he was familiar with. Still, he kept his calm and tried his best to make his little brother fall asleep again.

However, it was impossible.

'I know I said this line like a dozen times today already. But this is bad. Like really, really bad! If this keeps on going, my dick will eventually rise and poke her ass. And if she notices that, it would be hella awkward.'

'Should ask her to stand up? But I already know she won't.'

A few minutes later, Rudy's little brother had completely woken up, and it began to poke Lucy's butt.

"..."

A few seconds later, the bus picked up the speed, and it began to shake more, resulting in his snake and Lucy's butt interacting with each other again and again.

It didn't take a while for Lucy to notice, and she tilted her head back from the side to look at Rudy with a knowing look in her eyes.

'Uh oh! I know that look in her eyes.'
