Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 30 - Strange Anomaly

Rudy looked at Angelica, who was laughing out loud after what had just happened.

"Stop laughing," he said with a furious look on his face.

"Oh? What will you do if I don't stop? Will you 'punish' me?" Angelica quoted the word 'punish' with her finger.

"Ahahaha!" She kept laughing out loud, and she laughed even louder after noticing how Rudy's snake went limp when he saw Rebecca.

Rudy let out a weary sigh and muttered, "I will teach you a lesson one day."

"Sure. I will wait for the day you learn not to get caught by everyone," she snorted.

It wasn't entirely Rudy's fault.

Usually, Rebecca would be at work during these hours. And since Rudy teleported back into his room, he didn't know whether Rebecca was home or not. Moreover, it wasn't even 7 PM, so Rudy wasn't expecting Rebecca to call him for dinner.

As Angelica had mentioned previously, Rudy had super libido. He has been abstaining himself ever since Angelica gave him a blowjob in the cubicle. After that, he couldn't focus on his studies because he was trying his best not to have naughty thoughts. However, Angelica's 'O' face kept flashing before his eyes.

After that, when the school hours ended, he kissed Rize, who was his first crush and his teacher. Then, he kissed Angelica like crazy but got interrupted because he was caught by Alice.

All the events of the day made Rudy so horny that he couldn't care less about checking the house, let alone lock the door—that was broken anyway.

Rudy immediately took out his clothes from the closet and went downstairs to see Rebecca was setting up the tables.

"The food smells nice. What did you cook?" Rudy asked as he filled his lungs with the scent.

"I was thinking of cooking something nice today, so I made your favorite dish," Rebecca replied.

'Thank god, she is acting normally,' Rudy sighed in relief and sat on his chair.

Rudy thought he was safe, but when they were eating together, Rebecca kept glancing at Rudy as though she had to say something.

"Uhh... I will try to fix the lock of the door of your room when I get time this weekend," Rebecca said in a low voice.

"I was changing clothes, nothing else," Rudy tried to defend himself, but it wasn't convincing since Rebecca heard and saw what Rudy had said while grabbing his snake.

"It's fine. You don't have to mention it," Rebecca said. "It must be tiring for you to live with a mother like me."

"What? No... of course not." Rudy shook his head and said, "Why are you saying that?"

"Boys at your age have a nice phone, a personal computer, a television, a gaming set or something. Also, you are a high schooler, so your daily expenses must be high too." Rebecca bit her lips and said, "I am sorry I couldn't give you the happiness like every other parent."

"No… don't say that…" Rudy held Rebecca's hand in his hand and looked into her eyes before saying, "You are great, mom. I can't describe how grateful I am to have you as my mother. I am lucky to have you in my life. So don't worry about all that. I am not interested in those things anyway."

"What…" Rebecca averted her gaze and asked, "What would you do if I wasn't your mother?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Rudy asked with a confused look on his face. "Oh! So you are saying 'if' I was born in a rich family or something?"

"Uhh… yes. Something like that," Rebecca sighed wryly.

Rudy kissed Rebecca's hand and said, "As I said, you are the greatest mother of the world, and no one can change that."

Rebecca patted Rudy on the head and kissed him on the cheek. She smiled at him and said, "You have really grown up into a fine man."

"I will become better," Rudy scoffed.

"I was really surprised when you brought a girl home and introduced her as your girlfriend. She was so pretty and…" Rebecca turned to Rudy and asked, "What was her name again?"

"Uhh…"

RING~ RING!

Rebecca's phone rang, so she went to pick it up in the living room.

'You have a girlfriend?' Angelica asked.

"Not that I can remember, no." Rudy pondered for a while and muttered, "My first girlfriend was Elise. And I never dated anyone in my school."

'So, what is your mom talking about?'

"I have no idea. But it seems… this is another anomaly of this world…"

Rebecca turned to the kitchen and said, "Rudy. I have to go for a job!"

"But didn't you promise you won't take a job?"

"It was Elenor on the phone. She needs me to be the cashier in the store for tonight. I can't deny her." Rebecca grabbed her purse and said, "I will be back before morning. Make sure to lock all the doors."

"Okay, mom. Take care!"

Angelica came out of Rudy's body and asked, "Who is Elenor?"

"Eric's mother. She is the owner of many convenience store franchises. She asks my mom for help whenever someone is late on their shift, or they can't make it due to personal reasons," Rudy answered.

"It seems your mother and Eric's mother get along," Angelica remarked.

"Well, they are friends," Rudy replied with a shrug. "But more importantly, we have to find the girl who is supposedly my girlfriend."

Rudy took out his phone and checked the photos, but he couldn't find a picture of a girl other than Rebecca and Alice.

"Well… shit. I don't have a single clue…" Rudy finished eating the food and went into his room to find any lead, but as expected, there was no proof.

"I will ask Eric. If I had a girlfriend, then he must know about it," Rudy stated.

****

So I want to make some things about Angelica and how her abilities work.

First of all, no one can see her. Her physical form has nothing to do with her being visible or not. Yes, she can choose to show herself to others if she wants to. But currently, she is only visible to Rudy.

Only Rudy can see her. And the only reason Rudy can touch her or Angelica can touch Rudy is that Rudy named her. She technically belongs to him, as Rudy had said. (Even when they couldn't touch each other, Rudy could still see her.)

Second of all, Angelica is living like an alive girl.

Angelica doesn't need to eat or drink, but she still eats sometimes because she wants to feel alive. She can taste food through Rudy's body when he eats, and she can also feel the emotions Rudy feels when she is in his body.

Angelica also breathes and blinks like an alive person. But she only does it because she wants to, not because she needs to.

Third, her body and soul are connected to Rudy. Without him, she wouldn't exist. Rudy is the only reason she is still in this world. She is bound to him, or rather his soul and body.
