Esper Harem in the Apocalypse
chapter-819

Leah watched Rudy for a few seconds and made a quick plan.

'You can do this, Leah! You have been taking acting lessons. You can make it natural. Your prey is a normal high school boy, and he is at the age when the boys only think of one thing— girls.'

Leah walked past Rudy and then pretended as if she slipped and fell into the pool. But she fell on the deeper side, where she could actually drown.

Rudy, who saw that, jumped into the pool to rescue Leah. He grabbed her by the waist and took her to the kid's side, where she could easily stand in the pool with her feet on the floor.

Leah pretended to be passed out at first, but after realizing that Rudy might apply mouth to mouth CPR on her, she changed her mind and simply hugged Rudy tightly.

She pressed her body against Rudy and said, "Don't let go! I can't swim!"

Her acting seemed so real that it even fooled Rudy. Had he used his ability to hear her thoughts, her plan would have busted in no time.

"Don't worry. You won't drown here. Look, your feet are on the floor," He said calmly.

Leah looked down and let go of Rudy, since it would have been awkward to hold him for no reason.

Then she stretched her swimsuit from behind to amplify her body figure.

"Are you okay?" Rudy asked.

"Yes. Thank you for saving me."

"That's my job," he smiled gently.

Leah's plan ended there, and she was supposed to get out of the pool after that. But for some reason, she wanted to talk a little more with Rudy.

"I must look like an idiot to you, huh? I am a high school girl and still can't swim."

"There is nothing wrong with that. I also learned how to swim recently."

"Can you teach me?!"

"Umm… I don't think anyone can learn to swim in one day. BUt if you truly want to learn, then you should join swimming classes."

"Do you give lessons?"

"I don't. I am a high schooler, just like you."

"I see."

"Wait… if I remember correctly, Lucy once mentioned that there is a pool at your school? Don't they give swimming lessons to students?"

In truth, Lucy hadn't told him that yet. He knew about it because of the memories of Rudy from the other world-line.

"Yes, our school has swimming lessons, but it's optional. So I chose the other subject instead. At that time, I thought I would never use my swimming skills even if I learned how to swim. I deemed it useless," she sighed.

'Holy shit! I thought the same thing! I am not taking any swimming lessons at school for the very same reason! I learned to swim because of my powers. Technically, I still don't know how to swim.'

Rudy used telekinesis to move his body in the water.

"Each and every skill you learn in your life will always be useful."

"I think I should leave."

"Yes, you should." Rudy pointed his finger at the ladder. "Where were you heading, by the way?"

"I was searching for the canteen."

"Oh. Just follow the red path and then turn left. You will find it."

"Thank you."

Leah walked to the ladder and climbed up, showing her body figure from the back.

"Hey…" Leah turned her face to Rudy and meekly asked, "Can you… give me support? I am scared that my leg will slip again."

"Sure."

Rudy agreed instantly, but he soon regretted it. He didn't know where to support Leah from. The only suitable place he could touch to push her up was her butt, and that was not an appropriate notion.

However, Rudy couldn't care less about that. He wasn't the type of guy who would shy away from doing something.

He placed his hands on Leah's hips and pushed her up.

"..."

Leah's face flushed as she experienced her first touch of a boy on her hips. She got out of the pool and walked away without thanking or looking at Rudy.

'Hot damn! She was so hot! I barely managed to not get a boner! I feel bad for having such thoughts for my sister's friend, but I am innocent here. It's a natural phenomenon and I shouldn't be blamed.'

Leah bought what the girls had told her to and returned to the reserved pool. On her way, she couldn't stop thinking about Rudy.

When she reached the reserved pool, she noticed Lucy wasn't there.

"Where is Lu?" she asked.

"She went to pee," Rose replied immediately.

"I can't understand her body mechanism. Does she really need to go to the washroom every hour? She does the same even at school."

"Oh, my~" Melinda covered her mouth with a shocked expression on her face and commented, "Look, Rina, Suzie, and Rosse. Leah hasn't even become an actress yet, and she is already body shaming her friend."

Leah scrunched her brows and shook her head without saying a word. She knew that anything she said would be used against her.

"Do you all love to bully me like this?"

"This is not bullying."

Leah placed the bags on the benches and sat under the shade.

"Wait, why are you wet?" Rina asked with a confused face.

"I fell into the water."

"You are the best swimmer in our class. How did you manage to be clumsy like Rosse?"

"I was… testing something…" she said with a smile.

The girls got out of the pool and sat surrounding Leah.

"Lucy's brother… he is not so bad. He is the only boy who I misjudged. I take back what I said about him earlier. He is 10/10 and the girl who marries him would be the luckiest girl."

"Whoa~ Calm down! What changed your thoughts?"

"He did. As you know, the boys would usually stare at my body, especially during P.E and swimming classes. But he didn't look at me. I even hugged him tightly, and he didn't react."

"Uhh… just to confirm, when you said he didn't react when you hugged him tightly, do you mean 'him' or his 'he'?"

"Just say dick. What are you so embarrassed about?" Rosse blurted the D word.

"Both. He didn't get hard."

"Did you touch his dick to check it, or what?"

"He was in the pool wearing shorts. Obviously, his boner would be visible."

"I… am not sure how I should feel about my friend seducing my sister's boyfriend…"
