Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 754  Masterplan

"When I said— 'Yes, I remember everything.' a happy smile appeared on your face, and you hugged me. Then you looked at me with teary eyes and said, 'I knew it would work.'

I was confused, so I asked, 'What…?'

'What's my name?' you then asked.

'Eleanor.' I replied, wondering why you were asking that question. Seemingly, I would have called you Elena if I had remembered anything, just like now.

And your smile vanished. You then apologized to me and asked me to leave. I wanted to ask you many questions, but you seemed angry, disappointed, and distressed. I thought I would ask you when we meet again.

When I was done wearing my clothes, you looked at me and said, 'Please forget everything that happened last night, and don't ever mention it to someone else.'

At that time… I assumed that you were drunk last night and came into my room instead of someone else's and had sex with me by accident. That's all my brain could think. So I never mentioned that to anyone, and I eventually moved on."

"Oh, by the way, I slept for three days straight after that," he immediately added.

"I still can't believe I did something like that. But she was not me, and I am not her. I would have never r*ped you under any circumstances," Eleanor uttered while shaking her head.

"Perhaps you were too desperate? What if I had told you and everyone that I would remember everything when I turn eighteen, and all of you patiently waited for that day. And when I turned 18, I remembered nothing.

I can understand how disappointed and desperate you all must be. And that night, you were drunk and… decided to pull the switch? I mean, you asked if I remembered anything, so...

What if you thought I would remember everything once I had sex with you?" Rudy wondered.

"That's a possibility, yes." Eleanor nodded. "Still, that doesn't justify her r*ping you."

"Of course. But we both enjoyed it, so… I never actually blamed or took that to heart. And you were gentle as fuck. If you wanted, you could have chained or tied me up or something.

I am not saying that I was okay with you r*ping me, by the way. But I forgave you for that. I fucked you more than you fucked me. However, recalling that event, my mind has nothing but questions.

However, there are three questions I don't understand, which you might guess or know the answer to— since you are Elena.

The first question is, who the hell was that hot and mysterious bartender, and what did she mix in my lemonade?

Second, how did you know which room I was in?

Third, where in the world did you get the Vial? Now that I have knowledge of other worlds, I know that Vial contained a high-grade aphrodisiac. And if you can't guess, yes, that was not from this world.

The Vial itself looked luxurious and royal, and the liquid… the elixir inside it was glowing. It was something from another world. So how did you obtain it?"

"Don't expect me to know the answer, but I will try to make the guesses."

"That's good to hear."

"I don't know who that bartender was since… well, I don't fucking know. As for how I knew your room… maybe I saw someone taking you to the room, and I followed you? That's the best I can think of.

And as for the Vial… what if I was in contact with other races? So far, I have only met vampires and demon, that is, Rias and Lilim. I haven't met Rias since 1989 in this life, but perhaps she gave me that Vial in the other one?"

Eleanor had tried her best to assume the best possible and logical answers she could come up with.

"I don't think you got that from Rias. She was taken to the vampire world by Jane, and I never saved her. She was punished for six months and then stayed in the vampire world.

Because if she had returned to the human world, she would have tried to meet me despite knowing of the risks. That's how she is. Still, if you truly got that from Rias… she would have used it for herself."

"True… I guess we will find one answer eventually. I will arrange my birthday party and the opening ceremony just like in your past life. There you will meet your hot bartender again."

"..."

Eleanor was expecting a comeback from Rudy, but after having met with silence, she asked, "Are you okay?"

"I just… realized something…" Rudy muttered in a shallow voice.

"Hmm?"

"In my past life, I met Rias in 2008. And if I traveled back to 1989 and met you, I must have met Rias there too. I have no memories of going back in time, so I can't draw conclusions. But… doesn't that mean… I had a small harem in my past life too…?"

"Oh… Rias, me, and… Elise…?"

"Yeah…" he averted his gaze.

"But you didn't remember Rias or me."

"Yeah…"

"Hey, what are your guesses to your three questions? I am sure you can assume and guess pretty accurately if given the right clues and evidence."

"Uhh… I do, but… you won't like my guesses…"

"Try me."

"Well, fine then." Rudy let out a short sigh and sat beside Eleanor.

"..."

"See, it was your party and the opening ceremony of your hotel. Everything was arranged by you or the people you had assigned those tasks to. You were at the highest authority there.

What if you had asked that bartender to mix something in my lemonade, and you were the one who took me to the hotel room? That explains why no one ever came to knock on our door… because you had told them not to.

And the cherry on the top… I am now highly convinced that the bartender wasn't a human. What if you acquired the Vial from her? What if you arranged all that just so you could fuck me— to recreate the moments in the hope that I will remember something about 1989?"

"It… actually makes a lot of sense now. And doesn't that mean she actually planned to r*pe you from the very start? It obviously wasn't an accident… it was a devised plan…"
