Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Rudy sat Rebecca on the couch and calmly said, "I was going to wish you at 00:00 AM sharp, but you were sleeping, so I didn't wake you up."

"That's fine. I don't care about all that."

"You don't…?"

Rebecca shook her head and said, "I only care about your promise."

"Yes… of course. So… what do you want me to do? Last year, I was here on your birthday, but you never asked me for anything. I wanted to celebrate your birthday, but… if you still hadn't opened up to me like Jessica, I didn't want to… well, whatever. Let's focus on today."

Rebecca glanced at her room and saw Elena helping Jesicca pack her bag.

"You will go to school now?" she asked.

Rudy was a teacher at Jessica's school, so if he went to school, more than half a day would pass by.

"Are you going to school?" Rudy asked her.

"I don't want to go today."

"Then I won't go either."

"But… you are a teacher…"

"Elena would cover up for me." Rudy sat beside Rebecca and smiled at her before saying, "I am not going anywhere unless you are with me."

"..." Rebecca didn't say anything in response, but she smiled with a little flushed face.

"You want to be spoiled today, right? I will spoil you as much as you want."

"You will do anything, right?"

"Yes."

"What if you don't do something I ask for?"

"I will pay the penalty, maybe? But I hope you don't make any improper demands which could raise multiple questions."

Rebecca puckered her lips and said, "I don't know what you mean by improper demands. Can you give me a few examples?"

'She revealed another trait. Mom would also do the same whenever she felt like teasing me for something.'

"Well, I currently don't have any examples, but I will let you know if you make an improper demand."

Elena came to the living room with Jessica and Lilim and stood in front of Rudy and Rebecca.

Of course, Lilim rushed and hugged Rudy as soon as she saw him.

"Where are we going today, daddy?!"

"You are going to the same place as Jessica. Elena will take you there, okay?" he said calmly.

"What about you?"

"I am busy today."

"Nuu! I want to be with you!"

"I know. But it's only for today." Rudy pointed his gaze at Elena and said, "Don't you want to spend more time with mommy?"

"I do… but… if daddy is not there… I will…" Lilim sniffed and started crying.

"Hey, hey." Rudy gently wiped her tears and said, "What happened?"

"Daddy is going to leave me behind!"

"No… I won't. I would never leave any of you behind."

"Then why can't I come with you?"

"Because you need to be a good girl. Mommy and Jessica will take you to school, and you will learn new things. It will be fun."

"Really?" she sobbed.

"Yes. And…" Rudy touched Lilim's horn and said, "We also need to hide them."

Rudy pondered for a while and said, "Can I hide your horns and tail?"

Lilim shook her head and said, "I can do it on my own."

"Oh."

Lilim's horns retracted into her forehead, and her tail also disappeared.

"Wow. I am impressed!"

"You… are?"

"Yes, you are awesome!"

Lilim touched Rudy's hair and asked, "Can I see your horns too?"

"Uhm… okay."

Rudy turned to the girls and said, "You might want to turn around."

"I want to see!" Elena stepped forward.

"I also want horns!"

Rebecca also stood in front of Rudy and said, "I want to see."

"You guys are making me nervous now."

Rudy moved his hair back and made some space between so his horns could come out easily.

"Ready?"

The girls nodded in unison.

SIGH!

Rudy manifested his horns and showed them to the girls. And, of course, their reactions were mixed.

Lilim was happy, and she started touching his horns. Jessica didn't know what to do, but she also touched his horns. Rebecca was surprised and wanted to feel his horns, but she didn't want to do it in front of anyone.

Elena, however, didn't know what to say. She noticed how Rudy's image changed from a human to a devil just by manifesting his horns.

No, she wasn't scared. If anything, she felt attracted towards the horn, but she wanted him to be a normal human Rudy rather than the demon Rudy.

"Are you satisfied? I will retract them now."

Rudy retracted his horns and clapped his hands before saying, "Alright, now! Go to school before you get late."

Rebecca stood beside Rudy and looked at Elena.

"Bye-bye," she waved her hand.

Elena raised her brow and asked, "Aren't you a little too happy that you are getting to spend time with my to-be husband?"

"Of course I am. He belongs to me for today."

"..."

Rebecca smirked a little and said, "Rudy, I don't want you to meet or talk with Elena for the rest of the day."

"...."

"You said you would do anything."

"Well, I am indeed going to spend my time with you today, and Elena is going to school. Then she will go to her house and prepare for the wedding tomorrow. I don't think I would have gotten any chance to meet her anyway," Rudy shrugged.

Elena placed her hand on Rebecca's shoulder and looked into her eyes before saying, "Take care of 'my' man."

After saying that, Elena left for school with Jessica and Lilim.

"Now that they are gone, what do you want to do? Go out somewhere?" Rudy asked Rebecca.

"If I ask you to break up with Elena, would you do it?" Elena asked curiously but with an innocent look on her face.

"Obviously not. That counts as an improper request."

"Hmm~" Rebecca went to her room and came out with a purse in her hand.

"Isn't that Elena's purse?"

"Yes." Rebecca nodded and said, "I want you to treat me as Elena today."

"I don't treat her any differently than I treat you."

Elena grabbed Rudy's hand and said, "I want to recreate your first date with Elena."

"You mean… you want to go on a… date?"

"Yes. We will do exactly the same thing you did on your first date with Elena."

"Sure. I will remove some improper events, and we will do the same thing."
