Esper Harem in the Apocalypse
chapter-448

"What are you doing— wait, that's not your phone! What are you doing?!" the first maid shouted furiously at the second maid.

"Well… this bodyguard's phone was ringing, so I checked it and accidentally ended up replying to one of the texts."

"..."

"What the fuck did you do?!" the first maid snapped at the second maid and yelled, "Are you out of your fucking mind?!"

"Don't worry. I read all their chats, and I am talking exactly the way this bodyguard talks."

"Who are you talking to anyway?"

"Uhh…" the second maid showed the screen to the first maid and said, "It's someone called daddy. So it's her father."

The first maid read the chats between Rudy and Lilim and raised his brows with various expressions on her face.

"I am pretty sure it's the other 'daddy' here,' the first maid sighed in annoyance. "Now that you have started chatting, don't stop. Or that person will get suspicious."

"Are we done here?" the second maid asked. "If we are, then let's leave. This person seems to be on his way here."

"We are done, but let's scout the estate. There might be someone hiding somewhere, which could be trouble for us. I don't want to take any risk ruining this mission, or the boss will be angry," the first maid stated.

"You are right." The second maid nodded and carried Lilim to the nearest couch.

After placing Lilim on the couch, she sat beside her and continued talking with Rudy over the chat.

"...." The first maid's face twitched in anger as she yelled, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you are going to scout the estate? And this estate is massive. It will take you a few minutes even with your prowess, so I was just sitting here instead of waiting for you," the second maid replied with a smile.

"You are also going to scout!"

"Ehh. I don't want to."

"If you don't, then I will tell the boss that you didn't do shit! You were a useless and worthless burden to the mission. And guess what the boss will do to you then?" the first maid asked with a wide smirk on her face.

The second maid's face turned pale as she nearly dropped the phone from her hand. She gulped down anxiously and muttered, "You wouldn't do that, right?"

"You bet I will."

"How can you do that?! We are friends, right?! We are best… no, we are childhood friends!"

"..." The first maid's face twitched again as she said, "We are sisters, you bitch!"

"Oh! Right. I forgot about that."

SIGH!

The first maid facepalmed herself and shook her head in disbelief as she let out a sigh.

"Why are you an idiot," she muttered.

The second maid squirmed and said, "Stop praising me."

The first maid took out a ball from her bag and said, "Why don't I trap you with the others."

"Wait! I have a reason to stay here!"

"And that is?"

The second maid pointed her finger at Lilim and said, "I am keeping my eyes on her. What if she wakes up like the last time?"

"She won't wake up for the next twelve hours… hopefully."

"But you said she is not a human! So there are chances that—"

"No." The first maid interrupted the second maid and said, "We gave her the double dose, which is enough to knock out even a dragon. And this girl is… Ummm…."

The first maid's eyes suddenly shined purple for a few seconds.

"She is a demon."

"Oh! A demon?" The second maid poked Lilim's cheek and said, "She seems awfully like a human. Demons are more… dark-skinned and kind of ugly, right?"

"Stop with that and go scout the left. I will go right."

The maids left and returned after fifteen minutes.

"Yeah, no one is here. I used my powers to scan every corner of this estate but didn't find anyone. What about you?" the first maid asked.

"Yeah, same," the second maid replied while chatting on the phone with Rudy.

"I don't even believe that you scouted the area. But oh well, I don't care."

"This girl's father is a funny person. He is talking to her… well… me, like she is more like his lover or something."

"I already said that's a different kind of 'daddy' here."

"What should we do about this girl, though? We were only ordered to bring the Ross family member. Should we kill her?"

"No. We are not tasked to kill anyone. And this is just a bodyguard. She is innocent. I could capture her in the ball, but I am out of them. And… I have a feeling that the boss will be happy when she learns that we brought her a demon."

"Yeah, we should hurry!" the second maid yelled in panic.

"What's wrong?"

"This person just asked me to pick him up at the entry gate of the underworld. We shouldn't keep him waiting, right?"

"Argh!" The first maid groaned and snatched the phone from the second maid's hand. Then she turned it off and threw it on the couch.

"Let's leave, you idiot!"

She took out a flat-rectangular device from her bag and placed it on the floor. A transparent screen appeared from the device with a strange beeping sound in sequence. Soon, the screen became more and more visible and began to glow in a peculiar manner with a number of coordinates in it.

"Come on, let's go."

That was when Rudy had used 'find my prey' to check up on Lilim and had found her in the estate.

The second maid picked up Lilim and passed through the screen like the other maid. However, instead of passing through the screen, they never came out from the opposite side. They had disappeared after touching the screen, almost as though they had teleported using that device.

The screen on the device once again slowly became transparent, and it began to beep loudly. A few seconds later, the device exploded and was destroyed into ashes.

A few minutes later, the door was shattered, and Rudy walked in.

"...."

Rudy opened his eyes, watching all the footage, and muttered, "Knock, knock."
