Esper Harem in the Apocalypsechapter 875: halo garden

"Two days seems very long, My Lord," they said, their words carrying utmost respect for Rudy.

"I understand that the wait may feel long, but it is important that we approach this process with the utmost consideration and thoughtfulness," Rudy explained. "By opening the adoption system after two days, we can ensure that every parent is well-prepared and ready to embrace the responsibilities and joys of raising a child."

The mythical beings nodded in understanding, their excitement tempered by the realization that a little patience would lead to a more secure and well-planned adoption process. They trusted in Rudy's wisdom and commitment to the well-being of the newborns, knowing that the wait would ultimately lead to the best possible outcomes for both the children and their adoptive families.

An elderly lady stepped forward and uttered, "Who will take care of the innocent souls for two whole days? Who will feed them and provide for them? There are thousands of them."

As the mythical beings voiced their concerns about the well-being of the newborns during the waiting period, their worries filled the air. They expressed their genuine care for the infants, not wanting them to be left alone or unattended. Rudy listened attentively, understanding their anxieties and the desire to ensure the safety and comfort of the little ones.

With a gentle smile, Rudy raised his hand, a gesture to convey reassurance and calm. "Dear beings of myth, I understand your concerns and the love you hold for these precious newborns. Rest assured, they are not alone, nor are they without care during this time."

He went on to explain, his voice carrying a soothing tone, "The garden in which the newborns are currently laying is not an ordinary garden. It is imbued with magic and blessed by the presence of forest spirits who watch over and protect the little ones with utmost tenderness."

He described the magical garden in vivid detail, painting a picture of vibrant flowers, gently swaying trees, and the soft whispers of nature that echoed through its enchanted boundaries. "In this sanctuary of nature, the forest spirits have taken it upon themselves to provide the newborns with constant vigilance and nurturing care," Rudy assured them.

"They cradle the babies in their gentle embrace, whispering soothing melodies and filling the air with a sense of tranquillity," he continued. "The forest spirits possess an innate connection with the natural world, and they will ensure that the newborns are protected, comforted, and attended to until the adoption process begins."

Rudy's words carried a sense of reverence for the guardianship of the forest spirits, instilling confidence and trust in the mythical beings. He understood the importance of their peace of mind during this waiting period and wanted them to know that the infants were surrounded by love and guardianship, even in his absence.

"As we eagerly await the commencement of the adoption process, let us trust in the benevolence of the forest spirits," Rudy said, his voice filled with conviction. "They have been entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding these newborns, and they do so with unwavering devotion."

The mythical beings nodded, their worry dissipating as they absorbed Rudy's reassuring words. They found solace in knowing that the newborns were in the care of the forest spirits, surrounded by the nurturing embrace of nature itself.

With gratitude in their hearts, they expressed their appreciation to Rudy for sharing this knowledge and providing them with peace of mind. They knew that during these two days, the newborns would be cradled in a haven of magic and love, watched over by the guardians of the natural realm.

Rudy smiled, appreciating their trust and understanding. "Let us take comfort in the knowledge that the newborns are in safe hands, and that soon, they will find their forever homes with families who will cherish them."

The beings of myth left, their worries alleviated and their hearts filled with gratitude for the interconnectedness of their world. They knew that the forest spirits would continue their watchful care until the time came for the newborns to embark on their journey of love and belonging.

As Rudy turned to Angelica, he noticed the amused glint in her eyes and the faint hint of a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

Curiosity piqued, he couldn't help but inquire, "Why are you looking at me like that, Angelica?"

Angelica's laughter bubbled forth, melodic and enchanting. "Hehe," she teased, her voice tinged with playful affection. "I must admit, I have never seen you speak in such a gentle and kind manner before. It feels almost surreal."

Rudy chuckled, his own amusement mirroring in his eyes. "You don't like the way I talk? I can stop that if you want."

"No. Telling someone that I don't like the way they talk seems rude. All this time, I have seen you talk differently, so when I see you talk in such a manner, it makes me feel… irritated. I don't even know why I feel that way," she shrugged.

"It's just that circumstances often call for a different side of me to come forth."

Angelica nodded, her gaze softening as she regarded him. "I understand. It's just fascinating to witness these different facets of your personality, each one revealing a new layer of who you are. But I like the normal you the best— which is a normal high school boy."

A grin tugged at the corners of Rudy's lips as he leaned in closer. "And what about you? I have seen your mischievous side, you perverted spirit."

Their banter continued, exchanging light-hearted remarks and playful jabs, their camaraderie blossoming with every word. They shared moments of laughter and shared experiences, gradually growing closer in their shared journey.

Before long, they found themselves standing in the grand lounge of the castle, the opulent surroundings a testament to the magnificence of Rudy's dynasty. The room exuded an air of elegance and comfort, inviting them to relax and enjoy each other's company.

As they settled into plush armchairs, Rudy and Angelica continued their playful banter, their voices weaving through the air, filling the space with warmth and familiarity.

"This is relaxing. We are watching the first sunrise of this dynasty together." Angelica leaned close to Rudy.

"Yes, we are. Shame that the other girls are not here."

"They are missing out. They said they wanted to explore the castle, so they are probably wandering in empty hallways."

Rudy took Angelica's hand in his and kissed her head before asking, "Would you mind if I start calling you Jessica instead of Angelica?"

Angelica stayed silent for a while before answering. "It depends on how you see me. Do you see me as Jessica or Angelica? I am both, and nothing will change, no matter what name you call me by."

"I will keep calling you Angelica, then. I don't want to ruin the innocent image of Jessica in my mind."

"Dare you say the same to sis or Lilim? You can't because you don't have any other options."

"For Lilim, yes, I agree. But it's different for mom. But I have decided to stop playing two roles for the same relationship."

"You should be glad that I met you as a ghost."

"I am. I am glad I passed through that tunnel. If I get to retry that event and even if I don't have my powers, I would still go to that tunnel to save you."
