Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

\'Judging by the pattern and the reactions I received from my other harem members and their first meeting… I am sure they would ask me to leave and let them discuss the matter among themselves.

I, for one, am okay with that and want to give them all the freedom they need. But I am anxious about letting Janet lose. The vampire gang sleeps during the day, so there are chances that she will never get to talk with them.

In fact, it\'s better in many ways. The last time I talked to Rias, I asked her what she planned to do now that I had got a castle for them. And she said she just needed a room and a bed.

I think she is ready, but…\'

Rias had told Rudy her plan of perfect revenge on Jane, but he wasn\'t sure if Jane would like that once Rias was done with her revenge. Still, he had to please Rias. He owed her that.

SIGH!

He let out a weary sigh and looked at the time.

\'An hour left before the meet-up.\'

Rudy raised his hand and summoned his phone in his hands.

"I will let Rize know. She said she would come. But since Janet has informed Alice, she must have also informed Rize."

Rudy called Rize and waited for her to pick up.

After a few rings, she answered the call, [Hello?]

"Umm, Rize. I will pick you up at 10:15 from the park near your apartment. Is that okay with you?"

[Sis is taking a bath. Who are you?]

\'....\'

"..."

Rudy was surprised to hear that.

\'Their voices are so similar sounding. I couldn\'t tell the difference over the phone call. Anyway, she called Rize \'sis\', so she can\'t be her older sister— Emma. So it must be her little sister.

What was her name again… Grace? Yeah, it was Grace. Rize has only mentioned her once, so I am not sure of her name.\'

"Is this Grace?" Rudy chose to ask her instead.

[Yes. Who are you?]

"My name is Ruby. I am Rize\'s colleague who teaches at the same school as her." Rudy responded, his time in a feminine voice.

[Okay. I will let her know you called her.]

After saying that, Grace hung up the call.

Rudy let out a soft sigh and muttered, "What was Grace doing at Rize\'s? Doesn\'t she live with her parents? I had to lie to her because I didn\'t want anyone to discover that Rize was interacting with a boy.

I am not doubting Grace that she would tell her parents, but I am not taking any risk. I am barely holding myself from killing her parents. If I kill them, I will never find that son of a bitch.

Man, this really sucks. I have the power to do anything. No one can stop me, yet… I can kill some shits I want to kill. The frustration is real."

Rudy snapped his finger, and an orb appeared in his hand. It was the same orb the fairy— Zia, used to talk with Rudy.

Rudy blew air on the orb, and it began to shine bright yellow, but the light was calm and not blinding or extreme to the eye.

Rudy tossed the orb in the air and caught it. He continued doing that to pass the time as he truly had nothing to do. He didn\'t want to keep his mind empty because he knew his brain would find something to overthink.

\'I can take a quick nap, but I can\'t guarantee I will wake up on time. Today is an important day, so I don\'t want to take any risks.\'

Rudy looked at the orb and muttered, "I thought I would talk with her, but it looks like she is currently unavailable."

[Can you hear me?] The orb spoke.

"..." Rudy held his urge to facepalm himself.

[Looks like I need to find another orb. This one is not working properly.]

"It\'s working perfectly fine."

[Oh, hellow, there. Lord\'s assistant. How are you today?]

"Bored and frustrated," Rudy responded honestly.

[Why is that? Why would the Lord\'s assistant ever be bored or frustrated?] Zia asked with curiosity in her voice.

Wherever Zach had the time or the orb glowed, Rudy talked with Zia like that to learn more things about fairies.

Since Rudy continuously tossed the orb up and down, the voice also traveled up and down, making Zia sound a little funny.

[Hellow?]

"Yes."

[Tell me, why are you bored and frustrated? You are the Lord\'s assistant. There is nothing more honorable than that.]

Since their first talk, Rudy had introduced himself as an assistant of the Lord, and all this time, Zia thought she was talking with the Lord\'s assistant while she talked with the Lord himself.

"I am frustrated because of that only," Rudy answered.

[Why is that? Do you not like being the Lord\'s assistant?]

"I don\'t like hearing people ranting about everything and seeking solutions from the Lord."

[But that\'s the Lord\'s duty.]

"Don\'t you think that the Lord also must have his own life to take care of?"

[That could be true. But you are the Lord\'s assistant, and you need to forward all the requests to the Lord once his incarnation awakens.]

"That\'s exactly my problem. I don\'t get anything in return for being the Lord\'s assistant. This job is not fun at all."

[Hmm… I don\'t think you should say that.] Zia\'s voice turned lower as she spoke.

"Why? Because the Lord might find out and kill me?" Rudy asked sarcastically with a slight smile on his face.
