Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 718 Jessica Or Angelica

"Give me your phone. I need to make a phone call. Two, actually."

Maria handed her phone to Rudy and said, "You are using my phone more than I do."

Rudy called Elena's number to ask for updates about her schedule, but after a few rings, the call didn't go through.

"What's wrong?" Maria asked.

"She isn't picking up. Either she ignored the call because it was an unknown caller, or she was sleeping. When I called her last night before we left for the auction, she said she had rescheduled her meeting and merged the two together.

She said she has a morning flight and will get here by evening, but she didn't tell me if she meant morning for our time zone or hers."

"Where is she right now?"

"On the other side of the world, where it's currently night. So she might be sleeping," he shrugged. "Either way, I will try calling her from my phone and see if she picks up."

Rudy then dialed his number and called Angelica as she had his phone.

After two rings, Angelica answered the call with, [The number you are trying to reach is unavailable. Please try again after some time, or leave a voicemail after the beep.]

"I will beep you instead. Where are you?"

[Still at the store with your mom. She said she wouldn't go home until you leave for school.]

"You are lying. Stay there, I will come to pick you up." He hung up the call with a sigh.

"What did she say?" Lilim asked curiously.

"Nothing. I will go and pick her—"

THUD!

Angelica landed in front of Rudy out of nowhere.

"...!" Rudy was baffled by witnessing that.

"What the…" His eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "What… What happened to your hair? Why would you dye them while? And what's with every girl trying white hair? Is that a trend? Who is spreading rumors that I like white hair?"

"That's what you are shocked about? You are not going to ask how I came here?" Angelica groaned with a sigh.

"That's my second question." He raised his brow and asked, "Since when can you fly?"

"Since a few hours ago? And not only flying, but I can also do other ghostly things."

"Huh?"

Angelica glanced at the rock on the ground and moved her hand toward it. The rock shook a little and moved to Angelica's hand.

"It's not as powerful as your telekinesis, but I am learning."

Rudy placed his hand on his chin and asked, "Do your powers have something to do with your white hair?"

"Yes."

"Go on."

"Uhmm… I was asked not to tell you this, but who cares."

"Oh? Now I am curious."

"It's tough to explain, so why don't you just read my memory? I am sure you would understand better."

"As you wish."<.com>

Rudy placed his hand on Angelica's head and began to read her memory, but ANgelica stopped him.

"Stop."

"What?"

"You have to use a different method to read my memory."

"... I should have expected that from you."

"Then you should have done it without asking," Angelica puffed her cheeks about and pulled him closer.

"What stopped you from kissing me then."

Rudy kissed Angelica on the lips and read her memories of the last night. Since Rudy was witnessing a complicated and deep conversation, he had to deep kiss Angelica.

Lilim, Ruby, And Maria watched them kiss like hungry animals, but deep down, they all wanted Rudy to kiss them like that.

After the kiss, Rudy looked into Angelica's eyes and muttered, "Hey, Hey… is it okay to show me all that? The kid Rudy clearly stated multiple times that I shouldn't know about it or it would mess up his plan."

Angelica shrugged her shoulders and said, "I know, but it's not like I could lie to you. I would have to keep it a secret, but to do that, I would have had to lie one way or another."

"Do you know anything about his plan? Since you now have Jessica's memories, I want to know everything that happened after I returned to 2008."

"Those memories aren't loaded yet. I only know a few things. I think I might remember something once I have taken a rest."

"Hmm." Rudy nodded. "I did find a few clues after seeing your memories. And well done asking those questions. You played them well."

"Your milk makes me smart." Angelica licked her lips.

"Ahem!" Ruby cleared her throat to make her presence known.

"We are standing here, so stop flirting around," Maria remarked.

"That's right, daddy. Even if 'you' don't feel awkward having such a conversation, we feel awkward. Save it for when you are alone."

"Let's get you girls to bed."

Rudy opened the door to the pool house and dropped Ruby and Maria to their bed.

"Here." He handed Maria her phone and said, "Don't play with your phone instead of sleeping. I am pretty strict when it comes to schedules."

"I think if you release a few doses inside me, I will have a nice sleep," Maria responded with a grin.

"Wait for the castle renovation."

"You bought a castle?!" Angelica exclaimed in shock.

"Yes. It's big… very big, actually."

"That's what she said," Angelica snickered.

"..." Rudy facepalmed himself and muttered, "What am I going to do with you?"

"You can hold me and play with me," Angelica responded.

'I was anxious after I read Angelica's memories. I thought she would become Jessica after she regained her memories, but she still seems to be Angelica. I don't know how to say this, but I see Angelica and Jessica as totally different people.

I would never be able to choose either of them; hence, I don't want Angelica to become Jessica. Obviously, I would be happy if they both could merge into one. That would be the best solution, and that's what I am anxious about.'

Rudy looked at Angelica, who was talking with Lilim, and thought, 'Who is she right now? Angelica… or Jessica? I have to find out. She could be Jessica pretending to be Angelica since both of them now have each other's memories.'
