Esper Harem in the Apocalypse-Novel

When Rudy reached Reina's office, the door and the windows were closed and locked.

"I only closed the doors and windows, I didn't lock them. Is she sleeping?" Rudy wondered.

'Well, we both have been awake for more than two days. And unlike me, she is just a normal human. She has also been doing a lot of work.'

'I don't know how it works for girls, but boys usually feel sleepy after a few rounds of sex. I remember Elise making fun of me about that once.'

'Reina had her first time, and I bet she feels exhausted by now.'

To confirm Reina was sleeping, Rudy activated his See-through ability to check on Reina, only to find her looking through his phone.

"..."

Rudy shook his head in disbelief and uttered, "Why was I thinking of her as innocent?"

Rudy knocked on the door to let his presence known.

As soon as Reina heard the knocking sound on the door, she lost everything on Rudy's phone and placed the phone on the dock.

Then, she rushed to the door but stopped before opening it and fixed her hair and clothes to make it seem like she was busy doing work.

She opened the door and saw Rudy standing in front of her.

"Oh! Hey…" Reina greeted him with an awkward smile on her face.

"Why was the door locked? Where are you sleeping?" Rudy asked with a knowing look on his face.

He decided to play dumb to test whether Reina kept her promise or not.

"Umm…" Reina first glanced outside and asked, "Where is she?"

"She is taking a shower." Rudy walked into the room and looked into Reina's eyes before asking, "So? What were you doing and why was the door locked?"

"I was preparing to sleep," Reina answered.

"Is that so?" Rudy gazed at his phone in the charging dock and asked, "How is my phone charging? It gets disconnected, again and again, so did you 'check' my phone properly?"

"Yes…"

After a brief silence, Reina let out a sigh and said, "I was lying. I wasn't sleeping."

"Hmm?"

"After you returned to the pool, I checked through your phone and looked at the pictures. Then, I resumed my work," Reina confessed everything honestly. "After a few hours, I was curious what you and Alice were doing, so I looked at the footage, but everything was still, or rather jammed for some reason. So… I started looking through your phone again."

"I am happy to see you told me everything," Rudy said with a smile on his face.

"Well, I would have lied, but you can easily catch me using your powers. Besides, it seemed as though you already knew everything, so there was no point in lying," Reina sighed with a scoff.

She looked at him with an anxious look on her face and asked, "Are you angry?"

"Why…? You told me the truth, so why would I be angry?" Rudy wondered with a confused look on his face.

"I looked through your phone without your permission and invaded your privacy…" Reina responded in a low voice while stuttering.

"Oh. No, I am not angry. What's there to be angry about?" Rudy shrugged his shoulders and uttered, "You are my lover, and you have permission to invade my privacy."

"..."

"I know some don't like this, and many relationships get destroyed because of this, but… I mean… I don't have anything to hide. I have already told you everything, and I can tell you more if you want me to. The same with other girls."

Reina scoffed softly and hugged Rudy tightly. "You are the best boyfriend anyone can have."

"No, I am not the best. In fact, I am far from the best," he said with a gentle smile on his face. "I just have some things easy because of my superpowers."

"That's not true!" Reina retorted. "Your superpowers won't make anyone fall in love with you. You are doing everything by yourself."

"..."

Rudy hugged Reina back and muttered, "Thank you."

"Say…" Reina squinted her eyes at Rudy and asked, "The reason why I couldn't see anything in the footage was that you messed with it using your powers, right?"

Rudy shrugged his shoulders and replied, "You were invading our privacy so…"

"Didn't you say I have permission to invade your privacy?" Reina asked with a judging look on her face.

"Yeah. You have permission to invade 'my' privacy, but not 'Alice's'. And you were invading both of our privacy."

"So… did you two do it…?" Reina asked with a curious look on her face.

"No…"

"So then… why did you jam the camera if you didn't do anything?"

"We did do a few things, but we didn't go all the way. And besides, I never planned to go all the way until I tell Alice everything," Rudy asserted with a wry smile on his face.

Reina could tell Rudy was anxious about telling Alice.

She placed her hand on his chest and felt his heartbeats that were also beating fast.

"Don't worry. Everything will be alright. You know she loves you, and as long as you love her back, I am sure she would be okay with the harem," Reina reassured Rudy.

"At least, that's the case for me," she then added.

"Anyway, I should be living now." Rudy kissed Reina on the lips and patted her head before saying, "Call me when you miss me."

"I miss you all the time…"

Rudy wore his clothes and turned to Reina as he walked to the charging dock to get his phone.

"I might visit you tomorrow to talk about the amount I need to pay for the debt," Rudy asserted and thought, 'I will visit the casino and win a few thousand bucks. Or… I might just talk this out with Maria and get her permission.'

"Alright." Rudy grabbed his phone and saw it was charged to 60%, but he noticed it was locked.

"Hmm?" Rudy showed his phone to Reina and asked, "What's the password?"

"Huh?"
