Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Rebecca pondered as she gathered her thoughts.

"Yes… I have seen her acting touchy with you and making suggestive remarks. But… I thought she was… an innocent girl. I never considered her to be a girl like that. Whenever I noticed, I thought I had a corrupted mind for thinking something so outrageous.

But if she is truly trying to seduce you… then you should stop her."

"And say what? Hey, I don't like how you are trying to seduce me. Or something? First of all, she is making subtle moves to avoid making it look obvious. So even if we point it out, she would act innocent and get away with it."

"Then… just don't get seduced?" Rebecca came up with a perfect solution, which wasn't possible.

"Are you asking a normal high school teenage boy not to get seduced by a cute girl?" Rudy asked with a knowing look on his face.

"You are not desperate, are you? You have so many girls in your harem, and you can fuck any of them whenever you feel horny. So I don't understand how and why you would get seduced by another girl?"

"That's the law of horniness. When a guy sees a cute, hot, beautiful, and sexy girl, their bodies release hormones that makes them horny. You can't ask why the sky is blue during the day and black during the night."

It was as natural and logical as the water being wet.

"What happened to that 'I can make impossible, possible.' and 'There is nothing I can't do.'?"

Rebecca quoted Rudy's words with her fingers.

"Let me give you an example. If you have a $100 bill, why would you want another $100 bill if you already have one? They both are the same and function the same."

"..." Rebecca couldn't think of anything to say in response.

"I know it's a very lame example, but this is what I can come up with in such a short amount of time. And I hope you understand what I am trying to say. It's not about the quantity, it's about the value.

Having sex with Angelica feels different than having sex with Reina. They are different girls, living different lives."

Rebecca lowered her gaze as she took a moment to reflect on her choices.

All this time, Rebecca thought that even if she didn't start an intimate relationship with Rudy immediately, nothing would change because Rudy could always satisfy himself with other girls.

However, now she realized she was wrong. She needed to make efforts to gain something, especially when it came to a relationship where mutual feelings were required.

"Let's go home." Rebecca hugged Rudy's arm.

Rudy teleported outside the front door of his house and said, "Walk in after a few."

"Hmm?"

Rudy teleported to the bathroom and wet his body. Then, he changed his clothes but only wore shorts and kept his upper body naked.

He grabbed his shirt and a towel in his hands and walked out of the bathroom while drying his hair.

His eyes quickly searched for Lucy and found her sitting in the living room, watching the television after setting up the stove.

He stopped in front of Lucy and wiped his body, purposely spraying a few droplets on Lucy.

"Argh. It feels so good taking a bath so early in the morning." He looked at Lucy and asked, "Don't you think so, Lucy?"

"Move. I am watching a movie." Lucy said without looking at Rudy.

Rudy raised his brow with a curious look on his face. He was seemingly wondering why Lucy didn't look at him, especially when she always stole a chance to stare at him whenever he was around.

He sat beside Lucy half-naked and asked, "Whatchu watching?"

"A movie."

"What kind of movie?"

"It's a movie about a family."

"Oh? What's the plot?"

"A family of seven moves to a new city because of their father's new job. And they buy a house in a quiet neighborhood, which is mostly occupied by elderly people."

"Yeah, that sounds like the start of every paranormal movie. Is it horror?"

"More like a thriller."

"I see."

Rudy looked at the movie and took a few seconds to recall the movie.

'Isn't this the movie that was banned in almost all the country because of how gruesome and disgusting it was? How did Lucy get her hands on it?'

"Who recommended this movie to you?" Rudy asked Lucy.

"My friend did. I mean, she didn't recommend me, but she was talking about this movie. She hadn't watched it, but she said that her father didn't let her watch it because he saw something in the news about the movie."

"And you decided to watch it without asking mom or me?"

Lucy chuckled and said, "Why would I ask you? You are just a week older than me. And this movie is unrated, so I don't know if it should be under parent's guidance or not."

'The summary of the movie is that a family of seven— a father and mother, two brothers and a sister, and a grandfather and grandmother— moves into a new city, and since the cost of living is high, the mother has to start working too.

Not just that, but the tuition fees of their kids are high, too, so they are tight on budget. Things get worse as the grandmother suddenly gets a heart attack and is taken to the hospital.

The bills turned out to be more than the father's annual salary. Long story short, the mother starts doing multiple part-time jobs and comes home late at night. But she earned triple digits every day.

Eventually, the father finds out that the mother was having an affair with a rich kid, who paid her money to have sex with him. When things get out of hand, the mother accidentally murders the father.

That was just the first fifteen minutes of the movie. There is much more to the story, but…'

Even Rudy hadn't watched the full movie as he didn't like how things were going. So there was no way he was going to let Lucy watch something so outrageous.

Rudy snatched the remote from Lucy's hand and turned off the television.

"Hey!" Lucy jumped on Rudy and pinned him on the couch while her hands tried to steal the remote from him.

Of course, that was the perfect time for Rebecca to make her entrance into the house. And she saw Rudy half naked on the couch with Lucy on top of him.
