Esper Harem in the Apocalypsechapter 703: discussion

'I asked Lu Bela for a body for Angelica so she could feel alive, but I never thought Lu Bela would go as far as select a gender for herself and experiment with the body.'

"Why would you go that far to fulfill my request?" Rudy asked calmly. "Don't tell me you are in love with me or something. Because it's going to take a whole lotta struggle to convince Maria and—"

"I am doing this to gain a favor from you," Lu Bela stated before Rudy could finish his sentence.

"My favor? Don't tell me you still want me to kill you."

"I do. But I won't force you to do it, nor will I pull any stunts like before. For now, I just want your forgiveness for what I did on the night of the VVIP Underworld gambling tournament."

"I already forgave you for that after you did me a couple of favors. I no longer have a reason to hate you."

"Does that mean you will kill me now if I ask you to?" she asked with a resolute expression on her face.

'There is no way I would slay the golden goose. But if I tell her that I don't plan to kill her, like ever… she might stop doing my work for me,' Rudy uttered inwardly.

"I will, once you have fulfilled all my requests. You still haven't given me any information about the two robbers from the van. A man lost his family because of them, and a hundred others would have lost their family too if I wasn't there."

"But that's not the reason you want to find them, right?" Lu Bela asked with a knowing look on her face.

"Well, yeah. It's something personal. I want to confirm my suspicion on a certain someone. If he happens to be involved… I am not sure how I will handle that."

"You can leave that person to us, in that case. Remember, you can come to me with any issue, and I will give my all to solve it for you. I will do anything as long as you promise to kill me," she stated with her utmost sincerity.

"Sure."

"Let's discuss more while eating."

"Umm…" Rudy glanced at Lilim and Maria, who were busy talking about their matters.

"Is there something after the grand feast?" Rudy asked Lu Bela.

"Yes. Everyone present here will get to see a sunrise. Believe me, watching the sunrise from the middle of the sea is a phenomenal and unforgettable experience."

"I will second that, even if I am sleeping."

"So let's go to the dining hall?"

"What's the time now?"

"Ten minutes left before the sunrise."

Rudy turned to Maria and said, "Can I have your phone? My phone is with Angelica, and I have to make sure Rias and Jane reach the poolhouse safely. Can't risk anything in this world."

Maria handed her phone to Rudy and said, "Lilim and I will go to the dining hall. Join us when you are free."

"Gotcha."

After that, Maria left the hall with Lilim.

"Talk to you later, daddy~!"

Rudy dialed Rias' number on his phone and prepared to call Rias.

"Oh, you can't call anyone outside the island. All the networks of every frequency are blocked."

Lu Bela turned on her upad while saying, "Wait, let me give you access to—]

"Don't worry. I already hacked into your security and gave myself access."

Rudy called Rias and waited for her to pick up the call.

As soon as Rias answered the call, she asked, [Is it Rudy?]

"You didn't bring your phone with you at the auction, so is it safe to assume you reached the pool house safely?"

[Yes. Jane and I got here a few minutes ago.]

"Where is she?"

[Sleeping. I was about to sleep too.]

"Okay. I will meet you in the evening then."

[Hmm.]

"Oh! Yeah. What's Angelica doing? She is probably sleeping, but it's Angelica, so she might still be watching something on my phone," Rudy chuckled softly.

[She is not here.]

"..." After a brief silence, Rudy asked, "Did you check properly?"

[I did.]

"Look at the ceiling if she is there. She does that sometimes."

[Already checked. She is not here.]

"...okay. Talk to you later."

Rudy hung up the call and dialed his number.

'Where could she have gone? It's not like her to wander off alone, especially at night. Could it be that she missed me and went looking for me?'

A few rings later, Angelica picked up the call with a: [Wassup?]

"Don't 'Wassup' me! Where are you?"

[I am with your mom.]

"...what the hell are you doing there? Don't tell me you went to scare her for what she said when she caught us?"

[No. I am not a kid who would get angry about a sex ban. I am helping her with the store.]

"I don't trust you. You better not have done anything to her."

[Sheesh~! I haven't. I know she is your favorite but don't worry. She is totally fine. You can confirm it once you return from the auction. Oh! More customers are coming. I am hanging up!]

BEEP~ BEEP~!

"..."

'Well… I don't think she would do anything to mom. But I am worried that she might end up telling some embarrassing things to mom.'

Rudy sighed.

'I am an adult, and adults shouldn't be embarrassed about anything other than their dick's size— or so I read somewhere. Luckily, I have a magical weapon to satisfy every girl.'

Rudy reassured himself with the truth.

"Is there anything else you would like to do before we head to the dining hall?" Lu Bela asked.

"Actually, can we skip the grand feast and the sunrise? I need to check the castle and return home. I can't be late for school today."

"If that's what you want, I can arrange it. But the castle is far away, and it would take us a few hours to reach there, even in a copter."

"Don't worry about that. I got a perfect solution for that. We can fly there at speed faster than the lightning."
