Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 352 Returning to the School

”I wonder if mom has returned yet.”

Rudy went downstairs to check, but Rebecca wasnʼt there.

”I guessed so…” he sighed. ”She will probably come late on purpose. Well, letʼs give her some time. I myself have no idea what I am going to talk to her about.”

Rudy went to the bathroom and took a bath with Angelica. He came out fifteen minutes later while wiping his wet hair with a towel.

”Itʼs so hard to take care of long hair. Even washing them was a pain in the ass.”

Angelica followed Rudy upstairs to his room with a cheerful smile on her face.

”Quickies in the morning are the best~”

After changing his school uniform, he looked in the mirror and wondered, ”What will I do with my hair? I canʼt go to school with them like this.”

Rudy grabbed his hair tightly by his head and used a sharp wind attack to cut them.

”There. Now they are short.” He threw the long hair on the bed and said, ”Letʼs go now.”

He teleported near Aliceʼs house and walked the rest of the way. But much to his surprise, her house was locked, and Alice wasnʼt there.

ʼShe may have already left since she doesnʼt know you are back,ʼ Angelica uttered from Rudyʼs body.

”Yeah. So now I have to find her on the way…”

Rudy hurried his way to school, but he couldnʼt find her.

”Great…”

He lazily entered the school and made his way to his classroom to see Alice sitting at her desk.

She was focused on the book and didnʼt notice Rudy had arrived.

Rudy sat on his desk and looked at Alice with a smile on his face. After a few seconds, Alice realized someone was sitting at Rudyʼs desk, so she turned her head to the side to see him smiling and grinning at her.

She stared at him for a few seconds with a dazed expression on her face.

”Before you ask anything, yes, this is not a dream,” Rudy said with a soft scoff.

Alice moved her hand to Rudyʼs face and touched it. Then, she moved her other hand and slapped him lightly on the other cheek.

”I was expecting a hug or a kiss, not a slap.”

”Where have you been?” she asked with teary eyes.

”Well… let me show you.”

Rudy placed his hand on Aliceʼs hands and showed everything to Alice.

”No way…something like that happened?” she asked with a baffled look on her face.

”Yeah.”

”And when your relationship with Rias got better and better, I kept ignoring you?”

”Yeah. You were obviously jealous.”

”So not only one, but you have four vampires in your harem…”

”Are you angry?” Rudy asked curiously.

”Not really.” Alice shrugged her shoulders and said, ”One or ten, it wonʼt matter if you have a harem already.”

”Wow. Thatʼs so optimistic of you.”

Rudy glanced around the classroom from the corner of his eyes and sighed after seeing half of the class was already full.

”When did you return?”

”Last night. I came to visit you, but you were sleeping,” Rudy responded calmly.

A few seconds later, Alice squinted her eyes and said, ”Did you do anything to me in my sleep.”

”Whoa~ Calm down. Donʼt you even dare think of such things. You need to stay innocent, alright?”

”Itʼs hard to stay innocent after you corrupted me with the pleasure of being a girl.”

”Why do I get blamed for everything? I am pure, innocent, and in every way holy,” Rudy said with a proud face.

”Oh? Is that why you made moves on your loverʼs twin sister, her maid, and her great grandmother?” she asked with a judging look on her face.

”Ahem!” Rudy and Alice were interrupted by someoneʼs presence.

Rudy moved his gaze and saw Janet standing there with tears in her eyes.

”Hey… whatʼs up?” Rudy asked with an awkward smile on his face.

Janetʼs eyes got more teary, but she didnʼt say anything. She turned around, wiped her tears, and went to sit at her desk.

”...?” Rudy turned to Alice with a confused look on his face and asked, ”What was that?”

Alice shrugged her shoulders in response.

ʼIn my past life, Janet confessed her love to me when I was in the university. And she told me that she fell in love with me after we spent time together at the university. So she shouldnʼt be in love with me right now. Unless… I messed up the events and… yeah.ʼ

Rudy recalled his talk and walk with Janet on the night he went to the vampire world.

ʼBut thatʼs a good thing. If I had let everything happen as it was supposed to, Janet would end up going out with some delinquent in the senior class and… I donʼt even want to recall that fiasco.ʼ

Alice and Rudy talked until the bell rang and morning call started.

After a few lectures, it was finally Rizeʼs lecture, and her mood was brightened after seeing Rudy had returned. However, the rest of the students in the class didnʼt like that.

When Rudy wasnʼt in school, Rize was also in a gloomy mood and didnʼt care about the class. Of course, she taught the students as she was supposed to but didnʼt give them any homework. She wasnʼt strict in class either.

In short, she wasnʼt acting like herself. But after Rudy returned, she gave them a lot of homework that she didnʼt give in Rudyʼs absence and scolded those who even moved their gaze to the side.

Once the school hours had ended, Rudy walked Alice to her house and bid her goodbye. Rudy then teleported to his house and went downstairs to check on Rebecca, but she had closed the door of her room.

When Rudy used his see-through ability, he saw her fast asleep on the bed with a happy smile on her face.

Rudy changed his clothes and wore a hoodie to cover his head with the hood.

”Now, time to go to the bank. The very first step of my journey to become the richest person on this planet.”
