Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 17 - [Bonus ] Culture Crisis

Chapter 17 - [Bonus ] Culture Crisis

Rudy got off the bed and watched Kaguya do her work. He smiled at her and thought, 'So today is her first day. She should be 19 years old.'

Kaguya noticed Rudy was staring at her, so she turned to him and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Uhh… is there something I can do for you? Or do you need anything?"

"No, I am good." Rudy walked to the door and glanced at Kaguya one last time, only to see she was staring at him.

"See you soon," Rudy said before walking out of the door.

Kaguya rushed out of the room and said, "You shouldn't say that!"

Rudy turned around with a confused look on his face.

"Saying 'see you soon' in the hospital means you want to be admitted again. And that's a bad thing." Kaguya furrowed her brows and continued, "You should take care of yourself, so you don't have to come here again."

Rudy bit his lips after hearing that.

'I never thought I would hear this line from her mouth again…'

Kaguya used to say those lines to all the patients. Especially Rudy. She hoped that Rudy would be cured one day, and he would be able to walk and live like a normal person again. Even though it was impossible, she never gave up hope.

Rudy walked to Kaguya and hugged her.

Kaguya was surprised, but she didn't say anything.

"Umm... I think you shouldn't hug a nurse like that…" Kaguya muttered.

Rudy let go of Kaguya and looked at her with a gentle smile on his face.

"Are you okay?" Kaguya asked with a concerned look on her face.

Rudy nodded and said in a calm voice: "I will be back."

"You shouldn't…" Kaguya tried to say something, but she stopped after looking at the grin on Rudy's face.

"Well… I guess you can come for fever and cough…" she muttered under her breath.

Meanwhile, there was a girl hiding against the wall at the end of the hallway.

That girl was Reina, and she saw Rudy hugging Kaguya.

Reina rushed to the hospital after seeing the news on her phone.

The news had announced Rudy's full name, so Reina was sure it was the same Rudy. Not only that, when he heard about the tunnel, she remembered how Rudy mentioned pa.s.sing through the tunnel and recalled all the deadly rumors. So without wasting any time, she left the water park and rushed to the hospital in the taxi.

Reina clicked her tongue with a dissatisfied look on her face and got into the elevator.

'If I knew he had a girlfriend, I wouldn't have gotten my hopes high…'

Reina thought Kaguya was his girlfriend because Rudy hugged her and talked with a smile on his face.

It was natural for her to a.s.sume that because the way Rudy looked at Kaguya described how deeply he cared about her.

Of course, he had become a little sentimental after seeing Kaguya again, but the reason was different. However, the feelings were the same.

Reina let out a weary sigh and uttered in a disdainful tone: "And he was the first boy I started to like…"

The elevator stopped on the ground floor, and the door opened. However, Rudy was waiting for Reina at the door.

He had seen Reina entering the elevator, so he rushed downstairs and waited for Reina.

Reina tried to leave the elevator, but she was so surprised to see Rudy that she pressed the b.u.t.ton and closed the door again.

"Oh, no! I closed the door because I was too nervous to look at him! What should I do?!" she asked herself while panicking.

"May I ask the reason you are nervous after seeing him?" Rudy asked from behind Reina.

"Well, he has a girlfriend, and I felt awkward and ashamed after—" Reina stopped and looked back to see Rudy standing behind her.

"Aaa!" she yelled in surprise and turned to the corner. "How—How are you here?"

"I asked the question first," Rudy said with a grin on his face. "And she wasn't my girlfriend."

"She wasn't?" Reina asked with a happy face and sighed in relief.

"No."

"I see…" Reina was feeling genuinely delighted after hearing that.

"Wait…" Reina furrowed her brows at Rudy and asked, "Now answer my question. How did you get here?"

"I teleported here," Rudy replied sincerely.

"Hah?!" Reina scoffed and said, "Come on. Tell me."

Rudy squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you going to the water park now?"

"Yes." Reina nodded and said, "But I will have to wait for the bus because I can't afford the taxi fare."

"Then it's better if I show you…" Rudy got close to Reina and grabbed her by the waist.

"What are you—" Reina's face flushed as she said, "It's too early for—"

Reina was left speechless when she found herself in a familiar room.

She was in her office.

"What… how?!" she asked and stared at Rudy with a baffled expression on his face.

Rudy shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I told you."

"How did you do that?!" Reina asked with a curious look on her face. "Teach me too!"

"Heh!" Rudy laughed out loud after hearing that and said, "You can't do that."

"But, if you want to go somewhere, just call me." Rudy winked at Reina and added, "I will be there to pick you up."

'That was so dumb and cringe! Let's not do it again.' After saying that, Rudy disappeared from Reina's sight and teleported back into the elevator.

After that, he met up with Rebecca and Eric and went home.

Rebeca went to the playground to sell candies in the festive season, while Eric went his home.

Rudy was exhausted after using too much power, so he fell asleep as soon as he got on the bed.

When Rudy woke up, it was nearly night.

He sat on his bed and muttered, "I wonder what happened to that ghost girl?"

'Maybe because the tunnel is now destroyed, she was able to pa.s.s on to the afterlife?' Rudy wondered.

Rudy glanced at his phone and gulped down as though he was thinking of something.

He walked to the door and glanced around before closing it.

"I don't know why, but I think it's because I hugged three girls today… or perhaps because I am in my teenage body… I am feeling kind of h.o.r.n.y…"

Rudy grabbed his phone and got on his bed. Then, he grabbed his headphones and turned the volume to 50.

"Let's do it…"

He connected to a neighbor's wifi and opened a p.o.r.n site to watch some cultured video.

"I can't abstain anymore…"

Rudy pulled down his pants and started stroking his sword.

'This feels so good! This will be my first time masturbating after all those years…'

As Rudy was lost in heaven, his room door opened as the voice followed: "Rudy, I brought some food—"

It was Rebecca, and she froze after seeing Rudy masturbating.

Rudy's face turned pale after noticing Rebecca, and he threw the phone aside and pulled up his pants.

"It's not what it looks—"

"It's okay!" Rebecca interrupted Rudy and said, "You are that age, so it's normal. Just… come downstairs when you are done with…"

Rebecca didn't even finish her sentence and closed the door.

"I forgot that my door's lock was broken…" Rudy muttered with a sigh.
