Esper Harem in the Apocalypse-Novel



Rudy hovered in space and looked upon the blue planet wistfully. His face showed no expression, it was still and stiff, like a statue.

'Why is this worrld still living a peaceful life? Where is Chaoss? Where is blood? Where is destruction? You know humansss don't deserrve to live a peaceful life. So why are you prrotecting them?'

Rudy recalled Pearu's words to which he hadn't responded.

"What am I supposed to do?" he muttered to himself.

He moved his hand and pointed it toward the blue planet before covering it with his fist.

"I can crush it with ease and kill every human on the planet. But then what? Create a new planet, a new human race, and repeat all over again? Humans would end up the same way they do in every timeline and reality.

I am in no mood to reset the world again and again. I just want to live my life peacefully with my lovers. But I know that's not possible. So let me live this life a little longer before I announce my Lordship.

Then this world can meet its doom for all I care. They are the abandoned race for this reason."

He took a deep breath and released a heavy sigh. Then, he cracked his fingers and stretched his body.

"Now that I am in space… come to think of it… I always end up in space whenever there is a fight. I can easily deal with normal humans without even using my powers. But once superpowers are involved, I end up in space.

I can literally blow up the planet if I accidentally use a fraction of my power. But come to space whenever there is a fight… that's boring. Well, whatever. Fighting in itself is boring since I always win.

I wonder if I will ever meet someone with whom I can fight seriously, where my life can be in danger. That would be a thrilling experience which I long for and have long forgotten."

'I will do the daily search for Elise since I am already in space.'

Rudy landed in front of Eleanor's store after five minutes.

His countenance seemed even more worse than before. Seemingly, he had no luck in finding Elise this time either.

Rebecca, who was taking things out from the debris of the fallen ceiling— that had destroyed the shelves and the items on them. But the packed food and snacks seemed to be in the best condition.

Rebecca noticed Rudy was standing outside the store with his back facing the door.

"Eleanor, I think my shift hours have ended, so I will take my leave now," she said without taking her eyes off Rudy's back.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Eleanor shouted from her office. "You are going to leave me in the middle of this mess?"

She came out of her office, hoping to convince Rebecca to stay a little longer until help arrived, but when she saw Rudy, she stopped and stood beside Rebecca.

"Are you not going to go talk to him?" Eleanor asked Rebecca.

"I… I don't know. I am feeling repulsed… like… something is telling me to not approach him right now…" she muttered.

"I feel you. But I think you should… go. He needs you."

"I guess…" Rebecca gulped down anxiously and handed the packed snacks to Eleanor.

She walked to the store's store as it automatically opened and walked a few steps forward before stopping.

"Rudy, are you okay?" she asked in a calm voice.

Rudy moved his hand to his face and forced his lips to smile. He pulled his cheeks up and opened his eyes wide.

He turned around with a happy face and said, "Never been better. What are you two? The ceiling didn't fall on you, did it?"

Rebecca shook her head and said, "I know you made sure to not let that happen."

"That's true."

A few seconds later, Eleanor walked out of the store wearing a black fedora hat and black sunglasses, her hair swaying from the sides and dancing as she walked. She wore a black suit and a leather coat over it, black tights, and black heels.

On top of that, she was carrying a shotgun with one hand, and her other hand was busy applying black lipstick on her lips.

"..." Rebecca raised her eyes and bit her lips after seeing Eleanor.

While Rudy had forgotten everything and was captivated by Eleanor.

Eleanor stopped in front of them and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"You definitely did that on purpose, didn't you?" Rebecca asked as her face twitched.

"Hmm?"

"You didn't have to do all that?"

"Do what?"

"The hat and the sunglasses. And the coat and the black lipstick!"

"I just closed the store, so I got my stuff before leaving."

"You are not fooling anyone with that." Rebecca turned to Rudy, "Right, Rudy?"

"A hot and badass milf… now that's a rare combination."

"Oh my, thank you. I am glad it worked."

Rebecca shot a glare at Eleanor and said, "What about the store? I can still see that the lights are on."

"The store is temporarily closed down until it's repaired. I might renovate it and make a mall, to be honest. What do you think?" She asked sincerely.

"Looks like I am about to lose my job…"

"That's up to you. You no longer have to worry about the money or raising Rudy. You work before you like to work. If you want to work, I can make you the manager once the mall is ready. And that will be a daytime shift."

"I will think about it."

Eleanor took off her sunglasses and moved close to Rudy.

"What do you think? Did I make you horny?"

"Yup."

"Heh," Eleanor smirked from the corner of her lips and kissed Rudy on the lips while glancing at Rebecca.

"If Rebecca doesn't give you any, you can always come to me. I can always make time for my lovely husband."

"There is actually something I want to talk to you about. Let's meet in the evening for a… dinner?"

"Sure."

Eleanor handed the sunglasses to Rebecca and placed the hat on her head before pressing it a little to obstruct Rebecca's views.

"Now, now, be careful, or you will get burned."

Rebbeca raised the hall a bit and said, "But the sun rose a few minutes ago. It can't burn anyone.."

"I was talking about you burning from jealousy," Eleanor scoffed.
