Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 247 Teleport Malfunction

'Now that I think of it, Jane herself said that she 'let' me seduce her. I wonder how far she had planned everything. Could it be that it was her plan all along, and I danced on her fingers?'

After pondering for a while, Rudy shook his head and thought, 'Nah, Jane might be haughty and cheeky at times, but she would never do something like that. Especially after how she reacted when she found out that Rias and I never had an intimate relationship. Not to forget how she acted after waking up this morning.'

'Still, she is the girl I wouldn't want to make enemies with. But well, she was my enemy before I seduced her. It's kind of exciting on its own.'

"Umm… can I ask you a question?" Niti broke her silence and brought Rudy back to his senses.

"Yes?"

What did you do to Princess Jane?"

"What kind of question is that? I didn't do anything to her," Rudy replied with a shrug.

"No, you have obviously done something to her. Before last night, or rather, before the last full moon when she left for the human world, she wasn't like this."

"...?"

"I shouldn't say this, but she also knows that her personality is not good. She always angered people around her on purpose and liked to taunt them regardless of whose fault it was. She was like a spoiled brat, but from the inside, she was kind, of course," Niti stated.

"But now she has changed. She is showing a lot of expressions and emotions on her face. And I saw the smile on her face, which I had never seen before. I am just curious how you manage to do that."

"Hmm. I made her fall in love with me— if that's the answer you are looking for," Rudy responded calmly.

"I see. I hope you take good care of her. She deserves to be happy. And please be there when the 'time' comes."

Rudy nodded with a smile on his face and asked, "Can I ask for how long have you known Jane? She told me that you are her personal maid, and you do everything for her, including waking her up in the morning and singing her a lullaby at night."

"I have known her ever since her mother left her in this world. Princess Glorias' personal maid is my daughter," Niti answered honestly. She turned around and began fixing the bed sheet that she had forgotten to do.

"How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?"

"I am not sure. We low-rank vampires don't have the time or privilege to waste our life on such things. But I believe I am 120 years old, and my daughter should be around 69 years old."

"Oh! So both you and your daughter are technically the Godmothers of Jane and Rias, I assume?" Rudy asked curiously.

"Godmother? Whatever does that mean? But it sounds like something a highly ranked person would have. Unfortunately we—"

"Godmother means a woman who takes care of a baby and raises them or something along those lines. It's not a common thing anymore, but it once used to be."

"I did raise Princess Jane, so you can say that."

Niti continued her work, and Rudy didn't feel like disturbing her from her duties. But he felt awkward watching her do everything.

'I can't leave the room, or Jane might get angry. What should I do now?' Rudy looked at his hands and remembered how his clothes teleported without him.

"What was that?" he wondered. "Teleport malfunction?"

Rudy glanced around the room, and his gaze stopped on the vanity table with a big mirror in the middle with several drawers on the sides. It was also fantasy-like, making Rudy automatically attracted to it.

Rudy walked there and stood in front of the mirror to see how he looked in the fantasy-like attire, but much to his surprise, his reflection wasn't showing in the mirror.

"...."

Niti noticed Rudy standing in front of the mirror and stated, "This mirror is made from cosmos magic. In the human world, vampires can't see themselves in a mirror or a photo, but we have special types of mirrors in the vampire world. However, it only works for vampires."

"Oh, okay. I was freaking out, to be honest." Rudy let out a sigh of relief and looked at the things on the table.

'Makeup? Why does she even need makeup? She is beautiful as heck!'

Rudy grabbed a rush from the table and walked to the middle of the room.

'I don't know if this would work or not, but let's give it a try.'

Rudy looked at the brush in his hand and tried to teleport it back to the table.

"...."

It didn't work at first, but after a few tries, it teleported to the table.

'Yes! With enough practice, I can do it!'

Even at a dire time, Rudy made use of his powers and found a few teleportation ability, which was nothing but a teleportation malfunction at first.

Rudy tried the new technique a few times and mastered it.

'I wonder if I can use this ability to send something to the human world. I also don't know if I can teleport from this world to the human world, but I don't want to try it. What if I can't come back?'

Sure, Rudy wanted to go home last night, but that was before everything happened with Jane. Now, he wanted to stay and spend time with Jane. Besides, Rias was now going to wake up in two days, and he couldn't afford to leave.

"I will write a letter and teleport it to the human world," he muttered a fantastic idea.

Sometimes, his genius… frightens me!
