Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 338 Classic Catch

Chapter 338 Cla.s.sic Catch

"What the f.u.c.k?" Rudy got up from the bed and left Jane's room by jumping out of the window.

'I am here for four days, and now I can somehow tell what time is right now.' Rudy glanced at the moons and muttered, "It's around 8PM. I might be wrong, and this could be 4AM in the morning too. But no one came to wake me up, and I don't think Jane and Rias would let me sleep when there was a celebration party."

He flew to the royal hall and landed through the hole in the ceiling, or he wanted to, but there was no hole in the ceiling.

"..."

He decided to go there through the door, only to see it was empty. There weren't even decorations that would suggest one of a function.

'Maybe the function is not here and somewhere else?'

He rushed out of the hall and searched through the entire palace of the high vampires quarter in the innermost area of the palace, where royals and n.o.bles stayed, but he didn't see a single person.

"What's going on?"

He looked at his hand and slapped himself on the face to confirm he wasn't dreaming. And it indeed was a dream.

He woke up in Jane's room and glanced around to see Jane was changing her clothes in the wardrobe. Her face was facing the bed, and she didn't notice that he had woken up.

Rudy sighed in relief and slowly sat up. He got out of bed and hugged Jane from behind.

"..,!" Jane jolted in surprise and turned around.

"What's with this reaction?"

"You scared me!" she hissed.

"Why would you be scared? You knew I was sleeping, and we were the only ones in the room."

"You never know. Rias has woken up, and I can't help but feel anxious. She said she forgave me, but she hasn't talked to me like she used to before," Jane muttered with a gloomy face.

"Did you meet her again after I left with her?"

Jane nodded and said, "I was with her until a few minutes ago. I came here to change clothes for the function."

"Did she mention anything about us or give any hints?" Rudy asked curiously.

Jane shook her head and began wearing her clothes, but she was having trouble, so Rudy helped her. But he didn't miss the opportunity to grope her b.r.e.a.s.t.s while helping her.

'Why hasn't Rias told her that everything is already sorted out?' Rudy wondered. 'She said she would get revenge on her and will do the same thing Jane did to her. Is this part of her plan?

If yes, then I shouldn't ruin it, or all of Rias' anger will once again shift on me. I will let the sisters fight for me.'

"What about you? Are you not going to get ready for the… wait a minute…." Jane checked Rudy's clothes and said, "You were wearing another pair of clothes in the morning, so how—"

"I think I had already told you that I was going to take a bath."

"Oh!" Jane exclaimed and nodded in response. "Right. I forgot about that. I am so stressed out that I…"

"Don't worry too much. I know I have already said this many times, but I really mean it. I am not going to leave you behind, no matter what happens. We love each other, and no one can come between us, not even Rias or any girls; just like how you can't come between my relationship with them.

When you agreed to join my harem, you accepted me as a whole. You are under my protection whether you need it or not."

He smiled gently at her and kissed her on the lips before calmly saying with an earnest look on his face: "You underestimate my love, princess."

Jane jugged Rudy and muttered, "I love you, and I can't leave without you. I am the third strongest vampire alive, and my only weakness is you."

"Let's go now, shall we?"

"Umm… I need to do my hair. Niti should be on her way right now. So you can leave and spend time with Rias, or she will get suspicious."

'She already knows that I am in your room, though,' Rudy uttered inwardly.

"Okay." Rudy fixed his clothes and asked, "How do I look?"

"Handsome as always."

"And what about my hair? Last time Niti did them, but I didn't get a chance to do any after I took a bath."

"Hmm~" Jane hummed in amus.e.m.e.nt after looking at Rudy's hair and noticed Niti's hair that she had used as a thread to tie them up.

She raised her brow and pulled Niti's hair.

"Whose hair is this?" she asked with a judging look on her face while showing it to Rudy.

'Ah s.h.i.t. I dug my own grave, didn't I?'

"Hmm? What's that? It's probably my hair."

Rudy gulped down nervously as Jane compared the hair color.

"They don't look the same nor feel the same…"

'This was the worst way of getting caught. And ironically, the most cla.s.sic way too, where the wife sees a long hair on her husband's shirt or suit and gets accused of cheating.'

"Oh, by the way. I just had a weird dream," Rudy suddenly said.

"Don't try to change the topic," she said with a knowing look on her face.

However, Rudy continued speaking, "In that dream, I woke up from my sleep and walked around the palace. I went to the royal hall, but it was dark and empty. I searched through the high vampire quarters, and I couldn't see a single person.

There was no sign of life around. I was genuinely freaking out, not going to lie. And then I decided to slap myself to see if I was dreaming or not, and it was actually a dream.'

Rudy simply said his dream to Jane to divert the topic, but for some reason, Jane was baffled after hearing that, as though she couldn't believe her ears.

"What…?"
