Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Rudy unlocked the door and walked in. He glanced around the table and the kitchen to see if Rebecca had left any notes, but she hadn't.

"Where did she go?"

Soon, Rebecca walked in the front door.

She was wearing formal clothes as though she had gone to a function or something.

"Where were you?" Rudy asked in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Court," Rebecca replied with a sigh. "I just got married."

"Oh! How did it go?"

Rudy walked to the kitchen and took out a water bottle from the refrigerator. He filled the glass and gave it to Rebecca.

"Nothing much. We simply had to sign on the documents and needed one witness. I was going to call you, but you were at school. So Joe had brought Lucy," Rebecca responded in a calm voice.

"So… when are they moving in?" Rudy asked hesitantly.

"Maybe next week. They got some issue with the landlord of the current apartment they are living in," Rebecca sighed.

"What happened?"

"Apparently, the landlord wants them to pay for the next month too, even though they are leaving at the end of this month," Rebecca stated. "He stated it was stated in the policy or something."

"Should I take care of it?" Rudy muttered.

"Hah?!" Rebecca scoffed and said, "What will you do?"

'She heard me…!'

"Let Joe take care of it. And besides, they have to move their stuff, so it's going to take a week anyway."

"I see…" Rudy nodded.

'Well, in my previous life, it took them a while to move in. But this landlord incident didn't happen.'

"Putting all that aside…" Rebecca turned to Rudy and said, "You are okay with this, right?"

"With what? Rudy played dumb.

"With this marriage, of course." Rebecca sighed and thought, 'This was supposed to happen as written in that diary. I have to follow it. Otherwise, I might change everything, and if that happens… I don't know what it would lead to…'

"Mom?" Rudy called out to Rebecca and said, "What's wrong?"

Rebecca shook her head and said, "I was worried that you might not be okay with this marriage."

Rudy raised his brows with a curious look on his face and asked, "What would you do if I say I am not okay with your marriage? Would you annul it?"

"I think it's too late to do that now." Rebecca smiled wryly and uttered, "So you are not okay with this?"

Rudy held Rebecca's hands in his hands and said in a calm voice: "It's not like that. If it was a normal marriage, I wouldn't have said anything. But you are marrying Joe for selfish reasons, right? You are doing this all for me, right?"

"Well…" Rebecca averted her gaze and replied, "It's more like I have to do it. I already talked to Joe about all this. And he told me that he has no interest in me and our marriage."

'I knew that already.'

"And… it's kind of embarrassing to say, and I am not sure if I should tell you about this, but…" After a brief pause, she said, "We don't plan to make our relationship intimate, so you don't have to worry about… you know…"

'I know that too. But I am glad to hear that Joe is impotent in this world too. I mean, it's bad… but I am glad,' Rudy uttered inwardly.

'Thank god. I cleared this up with him. Otherwise, he would have hated me once he remembered everything,' Rebecca uttered inwardly and sighed in relief.

'I just tried hearing what mom was thinking, but I couldn't hear it. I couldn't hear Alice's thoughts either.' Rudy sighed and muttered, "I really need to work on my telepathy."

"By the way, you are fine with sharing a room with Lucy, right?" Rebecca asked with a curious and judging look on her face.

"Yeah, it's alright," Rudy replied instantly.

"..."

Rebecca gave Rudy a judging look and said, "Not going to lie, I was expecting you to resist a little or say something like 'can't she sleep in your room' or something. But surprisingly, you agreed to it as though you were already prepared for this."

"I kind of was." Rudy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since I knew Lucy was going to move in, I expected her to stay in my room. We only have two bedrooms; one is yours, and one is mine. So obviously, you would choose mine."

"That makes sense." Angelica looked at the time and said, "Go take a bath. I will make dinner and then leave for work."

Rudy squinted his eyes at Rebecca and said, "You better not be working too much behind my back."

"I am not, geez! You are so overprotective sometimes," Rebecca groaned.

"I don't want my beloved mother to get hurt or exhausted. Just do one job at the convenience store, and that's enough for us. You should even take a few days off to relax," Rudy suggested.

Rebecca got up and walked to the kitchen after saying, "Go take a bath already."

Rudy grabbed his bag and went to his room. Then, he took out his night clothes from the closet and came downstairs to go to the bathroom.

Rudy was too lazy to take a bath, so he decided to dip into the bathtub and take a short shower later.

He stretched his body in the bathtub and muttered, "So many things happened today."

"I am glad I didn't screw up, and everything turned out well…" he sighed.

'What happened today? Did I miss something important?' Angelica asked from inside Rudy's body.

"You are finally awake? Come out, fast." Angelica came out from Rudy's body and got into the bathtub with him naked.

"So… what happened?"

"Alice and I made out in the park today…"

"What?!" Angelic exclaimed. "What's with the sudden development?"

"I know, right? I myself am surprised," Rudy said with a grin.

"So… how did it end up like this?" Angelica asked with a curious look on her face.

"Well… it just happened... I guess?" Rudy replied with a shoulder shrug.

"I want details!"

Rudy pulled Angelica close to him and kissed her on the lips before saying, "I will tell you everything while exploring your cave with my snake."

"Why are you hard?!"

Rudy swiftly penetrated his snake inside Angelica's cave and said, "After remembering all those kisses from Alice made me hard again."

"Anh~!"
