Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Elena pondered for a few seconds and nodded before saying, "Okay."

"Okay?"

"Okay!"

"No… what, okay? You are not going to ask more questions?"

"No. I just want to know what you want me to know. I won\'t ask you things you don\'t tell me. And besides…."

"Besides…?" Rudy eagerly waited for the following words.

"Besides, I am getting late, so now is not the time."

"...."

Elena grinned at Rudy and remarked, "What? Are you going to sulk now?"

"I never sulk."

Elena grabbed Rudy\'s hand and said, "Come."

"Hmm?"

"Don\'t you want to meet my grandparents?"

"No…"

"..."

"I was joking. But… not really. I don\'t think I should meet them."

"Why not?"

"I mean…. they are old, and they probably have the old mentality of the 1900s." Rudy shrugged and said, "What would they think if their granddaughter woke up late and brought a guy home from her bedroom? I don\'t see that ending well, to be honest."

"Don\'t worry. They are okay with all this."

"Is that so?"

\'Did she already tell them about me?\' Rudy wondered.

Elena took Rudy downstairs, where her grandparents were waiting for her at the dining table.

"Hey, gramps!" Elena fist bumped with her grandfather and grabbed a plate from the kitchen to serve them breakfast. "Here you go. This breakfast is made by my boyfriend, so let me know how it is. And… I will go take a bath."

After saying that, Elena rushed to her room to grab her clothes.

\'What the—! She left me alone with them?!\'

Rudy looked at her grandparents and found them staring at him.

"So you are that young man she keeps talking about," the grandmother said.

Rudy awkwardly smiled at them and nodded.

"No need to be nervous." The grandfather moved a chair for Rudy and said, "Come sit."

Rudy reluctantly sat on the chair and said, "Thank you."

"So, what is your name?" the grandfather suddenly asked.

"It\'s…" Rudy stopped and thought, \'Has Elena not told my name to them? But what if she has and I get the name wrong?\'

"My name is Robert."

"Robert… that was the name of my bud back then."

"I see…"

The grandparents began to eat, but Rudy sat there. He felt awkward and wished that Elena would finish her bath soon.

"When did you two meet?\' the grandmother asked this time.

"Around three weeks ago."

"Three weeks?! And you two are already a thing?!" the grandfather exclaimed.

"Yes. Elena is very straightforward, and things just… happened."

"Haha! I know what you mean. She is very spoiled, and her anger is… just like her grandmother," the grandfather remarked while laughing at the grandmother.

"...."

"Have you two already done the deed?" the grandfather asked. "You came from her room, so I would expect a yes."

Rudy felt uncomfortable talking about all that to them, but he tossed everything aside and nodded.

"Yes."

"You should consider yourself lucky that you have someone like Elena to take care of you," the grandmother said.

"Oh, I am. I am glad that she is my… lover. She is very kind and considerate of me. And she—"

"Are you sure we are talking about the same person?" the grandfather remarked. "Because Elena is none of the things you mentioned."

"..."

"Anyway, I am impressed that you have already done the deed. Had you said no, I would have been angry."

"Can I ask why?"

"If a man stays in the same room as a beautiful girl like Elena and doesn\'t do anything to her, then that man is not a man."

"If you put it like that, then yes. You are not wrong."

"Back in my day when I was your age…" The grandfather stopped to take a bite.

\'Oh, there we go. The \'back in my day\' comparison. I can already guess what\'s going to happen next,\' Rudy uttered inwardly and prepared his poker face.

"Where was I…? Ah, yes. Back when I was your age, there were not many schools. Only academies are far, far away from towns. Many cities share one common academy, and there will be thousands of students."

He looked at Rudy and asked, "Do you understand what I am trying to say?"

"Uhmm… back then, students focused more on their studies?"

"Oh, Nah. Thousands of students mean too many pretty girls on campus."

"..."

"When I was your… wait, how old did you say you were again? You look no older than eighteen."

"Yes." That\'s all Rudy could say.

"When I was in the academy, I was one of the most attractive males on the campus. The girls used to call me prince charming, and they all fawned over me. Oh, my days. I wish I could go back to that time and enjoy my life even more.

So as I was saying, I had too much fun in my youth. I met girls and enjoyed my nights with them. But all that came to an end when my fiance reached the age and enrolled in the same academy as mine.

Of course, I am talking about this old lady sitting beside me. She is my cousin. And back then, parents loved to set up arranged marriages when we were only toddlers. But hey, I am not complaining. I don\'t see how that was a bad thing over the current generation\'s culture. Marriages lasted long back then, but there were also other factors that played a role. Still, I am sure the future generation would be much worse.

Love has lost its meaning, and it\'s sad to see that it has become a word with no value. Anyone can say it to anyone without genuine feelings. Oh, there. I am going off the topic. I shouldn\'t care about the future generation. I would be dead by then. Haha!"

"..."

Rudy talked with them until Elena came out of the bathroom and ate a few bites of breakfast before leaving with Rudy.

Rudy teleported her near the school and somehow managed to get there on time without getting late. Afterward, he returned to the house and ate breakfast with the girls.

Rebecca left for her school, and later, he dropped Jessica to her school. Once he was done with everything, he decided to meet Rias and see what she was up to.
