Esper Harem in the Apocalypse
chapter-578

Rebecca was already aware of Rudy and Elena's relationship, but she never expected that a day would come when they would get married. Still, she had no problems with their marriage.

Jessica raised her hand and asked, "Does that mean Miss Elena will live together with us?"

"That depends on her. She has to take care of her grandparents, so I guess she can't always be here. But yeah, she will be with us most of the time," Rudy answered.

"So I no longer have to do homework?" she then asked.

"Why is that?"

"Because Miss Elena will become my sister."

"And…?" Rudy was trying to grasp what Jessica was trying to say.

Jessica hugged Rebecca and said, "Sis helps me out with my homework and sometimes even does my homework. So if Miss Elena becomes my sister too, she will do my homework, right?"

"..." Rudy had no words to say.

"Excuse me, you little brat."

However, Elena had a lot to say.

"I am not a brat!" Jessica retorted.

"Once I marry Rudy, I will watch over you closely. And I will make sure Rebecca doesn't do your homework. Not only that, I will teach you even when you are not at school. So think of it as you will be in school 24x7."

Jessica's face turned pale after hearing. She turned to Rudy and said, "Don't marry her!"

Rudy gently smacked Elena on the head and said, "Don't scare her like that."

He then turned to Jessica and calmly said, "Don't worry, Jessica. She won't do anything like that. She will be Miss Elena only at your school. Here, in the house, she will be Elena. Only Elena."

"Daddy~" Lilim rushed to Rudy and jumped on him.

"Whoa! Don't jump around like that."

Rudy grabbed Lilim mid-air and picked her up in his arms.

"Why are you jumping like that?"

"You are awesome!"

"I know, I am," he nodded with a smug face.

"You found mommy!"

"Hmm?"

Lilim pointed her finger at Elena and said, "Mommy!"

"Oh… right."

'So she thinks Elena is her mother. I am glad she is happy, but I should try looking for her real mother. And her father too, of course.'

It was Lilim's second day with the girls, but she had become so close to them that she thought of them as her real sisters. She even asked them where their horns and tails were when they were playing earlier in the morning.

Rudy later teleported with Elena to her house and gave breakfast and lunch to her grandparents.

Rudy had also gotten close to Elena's grandparents in the past year, and he thought of them as his grandparents. They gave him so much life advice, and Rudy was grateful to them for everything they had done for him.

Rudy didn't have any relatives or grandparents, so spending time with Elena's grandparents gave him a sense of love he had never felt before. He had no idea what he was missing in his life before he met them.

After delivering the food to Elena's house, they teleported back and ate breakfast. As always, Lilim chooses to sit on Rudy's lap rather than on an empty chair. Jessica would often pout and glare at Lilim, but Lilim had no idea why Jessica was doing that.

Undoubtedly, Jessica was jealous of Lilim. Before Lilim's arrival, Rudy paid the most attention to Jessica and spoiled her rotten, but Lilim had replaced her and taken her spot from Rudy. Or so she thought, but that wasn't the case at all.

Just like Rebecca, Jessica now yearned for Rudy's attention.

After having breakfast and washing the dishes with Elena, they left for a picnic. Since it was Lilim's first time going anywhere in the human world, Rudy asked her if there was a place she wanted to go.

But, of course, Lilim had no knowledge of the human world and had no idea where to go. Jessica took that opportunity and told Rudy the places she wanted to go.

A few hours passed by, and later, Rudy decided to rest at the nearby park and eat the lunch he had made. After lunch, he bought them ice cream, and they all relaxed for a few minutes.

"It's so hot today. I want to go home~!" Jessica demanded.

"We are not going anywhere. But you are right, it's hot today, so let's go somewhere where we can sit and relax."

"Home?"

"No. We will go watch a movie in a theater that has air cooling. We will watch a movie, eat snacks, drink juice, and relax until the movie ends. Let's just hope that good kid-friendly movies are airing."

"Should we go check?" Elena suggested.

"Uhm… actually, we are in luck. There is a special movie airing right now."

"Is… that so?"

"Yeah, it's called house alone."

They all watched the movie, returned after two hours, and went to a mall to shop for the wedding.

"The kid in the movie was just like Jessica, except he was clever," Rudy remarked while looking at Jessica.

"I am smart too!"

"You are just spoiled and always get in trouble."

Jessica puffed her cheeks and started walking behind Rebecca.

'Wow, she is sulking now.'

"Lilim is your favorite now, so you don't love me anymore," she muttered.

"It's not like that. I was just teasing you like I always do. But if you don't want me to tease you, then I will stop."

"No!" She quickly grabbed Rudy's hand and said, "Please tease me!"

"..."

The people passing by shot weird glares at Rudy.

"Today is a special day, so I will buy you whatever you want," Rudy announced.

"Everything?!"

"Not everything. We don't have a house that big."

Elena nudged Rudy and said, "You don't have to do that."

"I want to," he said while kissing her on the cheek.

Rudy used his ability and glanced around the mall to find a tailor shop so he could have a handmade suit and gown.

"Found one."

Rudy went to the store and asked them to make clothes for them.

"That would take us three weeks minimum," the owner said.

Rudy placed ten bundles of notes— one thousand dollars each— and said, "What about now?"

"One week."

"I need it by tomorrow evening. I don't care what you do. You can overwork or hire more workers. It's urgent."

"But sir—"

Rudy placed fifty thousand dollars on the counter and once again said, but in a calm voice, "It's urgent."

"Consider it done, dear sir."
