Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

At first, she stared at them for a few seconds before realizing what was happening. She even thought that they were pretending to be asleep because she woke up, but they were truly fast asleep.

It was noted that the quality of the pillow or the bed can affect the sleeping time of a person. The better the quality, the longer they would sleep. For Elena, Rudy was the bed pillow and the bed, and for Rudy, Elena was his soft and squishy blanket.

When Rudy opened his eyes after his nose caught the familiar smell of breakfast, he realized that it was late, but not too late to freak out.

Regardless, Rudy had no need to worry about waking up late, but Elena had to get to her house to make breakfast for her grandparents and get ready for school.

The faculties were supposed to arrive earlier at school before the students, after all.

Rudy already knew what would happen if he woke Elena up, so he let her sleep and made extra breakfast for three people with Rebecca. However, for some reason, Rudy felt as though he was getting a cold shoulder from her.

Rudy didn\'t pay too much attention to it as he didn\'t want to overthink on every slightest matter and make it big, but he should have done that as his hunch was correct, and Rebecca was indeed giving him the cold shoulder.

Once everything was ready, Rudy woke Elena up. At first, she was confused to see Rudy and glanced around for a few seconds before her memories finally caught up to her brain, and she recalled the event from the last night.

Then, she slowly moved her gaze to the clock on the wall, and her face turned pale after realizing it was already morning.

"Why didn\'t you wake me up!" she shouted and immediately got off the couch.

As she was in a hurry and didn\'t give time to her body to activate its functions, her legs couldn\'t carry her, and she fell into Rudy\'s arms.

"There, there. I know you want to embrace me, but now is not the time," Rudy teased her with a grin.

Elena pushed Rudy back and said, "Now is not the time for your jokes. I am so late!"

"But it\'s only 7:21 right now."

"It will take me fifteen minutes to reach home. Ten minutes to bathe and get ready. And a minimum of twenty minutes to make breakfast. And some other things!"

"What time do you have to go to school?" Rudy asked curiously.

​ "Sharp 8:00. And the students start coming after 8:15, but the time is 8:30."

"Remind me to thank my certain teacher," Rudy muttered.

He pointed his finger at the packed breakfast and said, "Your breakfast is already ready, so I just saved you twenty minutes."

"Still… I will be late! And I am always at the gate duty, so I have to make sure I am the first one there."

"Don\'t worry about it." Rudy grabbed breakfast and held Elena\'s hand. "I will drop you home."

Rudy turned to Rebecca and said, "You can wake Jessica up and take a bath together. I will be back by eight."

Rebecca turned her face to the side and went to the bedroom to wake Jessica up.

\'Well, I would feel awkward too if a family member suddenly brought their lover home. Let\'s hope everything will go back to normal by the time I return.\'

Rudy left the house with Elena and walked. But Elena was in such a hurry that she was basically dragging Rudy with her rather than walking with him.

"Calm down, my butterfly. Umhh…. yeah, that was bad. I regretted it the moment it came out of my mouth. I was trying to give you a nickname but… nevermind that. I forgot I suck at naming."

Rudy pulled Elena close and said, "No need to hurry."

"Are you trying to get me kicked out of my job?" Elena asked with a judging look on her face.

"Well, I wouldn\'t mind doing that if you ever felt like your job was too much, or you thought it was a burden. But I know you love your job, and I would be at ease if I knew that you were watching over Jessica.

What I am trying to say is… you don\'t have to do something you don\'t want to. We are now lovers, so we should share responsibilities and burdens too. And I want to make you happy.

You don\'t have to worry about money and stuff. I will take care of anything. And if you ever need something, I will get it for you in no time," he said calmly with a gentle smile on his face.

"Right now, I want you to let me go so I can reach home and not get too late for school."

"Hmm? Why do you want to go home?" Rudy asked with a grin on his face.

"Are you seriously asking that?"

"Look around, you idiot."

"Hah?!" Elena glanced around and found herself standing in her room. "Wha…t?"

"Since you were complaining so much about getting late, I expect praise for saving your time."

"Wait… what just happened? We were on the street and… how…."

Rudy smiled at Elena and said, "I did that."

"What?" Elena was confused and curious at the same time.

"I… have superpowers. And I can do stuff."

Earlier, when Rudy pulled Elena close to him, he had teleported to Elena\'s room, and Elena never noticed as she was too focused on Rudy.

That showed how much she loved Rudy, as even though she knew she was late and her job was at risk, she didn\'t put anything above Rudy. Even though she pretended she didn\'t care, she only cared and thought of Rudy whenever she was around him.
