Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 236 A Yandere?

It had been a few minutes since Rudy and Jane entered the academy, and Rudy's expression changed drastically as they walked further in.

After noticing the annoyed look on Rudy's face, Jane calmly asked, "What's wrong?"

"This place… or rather… the structure, to be exact, feels familiar. I am not talking about the interior and all the fantasy-like structures, but the hallways and the directions they lead… I don't know. All hallways are the same anyway…" Rudy's voice got lower as he spoke.

"Hmm. I think I know why."

Rudy stopped walking and turned to Jane with a curious look on his face before asking, "Hmm? Is there a reason behind it?"

"Well… the vampire world is ten times bigger than your world. And it's the exact replica too. Meaning the mountains, seas, and many other natural things that are not created but are always present are the same as here," Jane stated.

"I see."

"So you are currently standing in your town or something like that. And this academy is similar to your school," she added.

"Oh!" Rudy suddenly exclaimed and nodded as he said, "No wonder. The hallways and the location of the rooms, pillars, open space, everything looked like my school. But didn't you say only the natural places are the same? The school was built, so why is it…?"

Rudy didn't complete his question as Jane knew what he was asking. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "I have no idea about that. This academy is millennia old."

"Well, whatever. Now I am excited to find out more about this world." Rudy placed his hand on his chin and wondered, "But what about the palace? What's on that spot in the human world?"

"The house," Jane answered.

"Hmm. That makes sense. What about the massive arena? Even if you decrease its size by ten times, I don't think there is an open space similar to that in the human world. What about my house? What is located here?"

"I don't know where your house is, and even if I knew that, I don't think we would be able to locate the exact spot."

"I suddenly lost interest—"

"My, My, look who is here," a woman's voice uttered from the other side of the hallway.

Rudy and Jane turned around to see a beautiful adult woman wearing a suit. She had black hair and purple eyes, and she was wearing glasses.

"Hey, Miss Tia. Long time no see," Jane said with an awkward smile.

Tia walked closer and stopped in front of them. She looked at Rudy and fixed her glasses before squinting her eyes.

"Who is this?" she asked. "I don't think I have seen him in school before. But he somehow looks familiar. Hmm… weird," she said while inspecting Rudy.

"Uhh… his name is Rudy. He is the one who…" Jane couldn't finish her sentence.

"Oh! I remember him now! He is Rias' human lover, am I right?!" she said with an excited look on her face.

"Yeah…"

"Hmm~ I am 300 years old, and this is my first time seeing a human. I have always been curious about them."

"Uhh… but Virgil's third wife was also a human. Surely, you would have met—"

Before Rudy could finish, Jane covered Rudy's mouth and violently whispered, "We don't talk about that in public!"

"She was indeed a human, but we weren't allowed to meet her. Sure, I had seen her from afar but never went near her. In fact, the Vampire Monarch never let anyone go near her and always kept her security tight," Tia asserted.

Rudy shrugged Jane's hand and asked, "What happened to her?"

"Well…" Tia averted her gaze and muttered, "No one knows. But we haven't seen her since she gave birth to Veronica, so she is presumed dead."

'Veronica is Jane and Rias' mother, alright. I think I am learning more than I thought. My only reason to come here was to take Rias back with me, but I ended up deflowering her sister, and now I am stuck here for two weeks.'

'At least Rias will wake up in two days. I am both frightened and excited. She is probably… no. She will surely not be happy if she gets to know about Jane and my relationship. But let's not worry about that right now.'

"Anyway, what brings you here, Jane?" Tia asked.

"Oh, right! I just wanted to show this place to Rudy on the Vampire Monarch's order," Jane answered. contemporary romance

"..." Rudy squinted his eyes and stared at Jane with a judging look on his eyes as he thought, 'She could have just said 'we are on a date,' but she didn't. It seems she wants to hide our relationship from others. But that makes sense considering how much she has suffered in the past.'

"Okay. But be careful. Not all vampires are friendly like me. If they see a human walking on their ground, they will try to do something. But anyway, the grandmaster just mentioned you a while ago when I was in her office. You might want to drop by her office later on," Tia informed with a gentle smile on her face.

"I will do that. Thank you for letting me know," Jane nodded in response.

"Well then… I will take my leave now. I haven't slept yet since the party last night."

After saying that, Tia left.

Jane and Rudy glanced at each other from the corner of their eyes, but neither of them said anything.

"She was surprisingly kind, not going to lie. And she looked beautiful too," he said to ease up the mood.

Jane raised her brow and pushed Rudy against the wall. She kissed him on the lips without caring for anything else and said, "You can't have another vampire!"

"Huh?"

"Promise me that Rias and I will be the only vampire in your harem!" she said with teary eyes.

"Obviously. Why do you think I need another one?" he scoffed jokingly. "And besides, Alice will be mad if she learns I got two more harem members."

"But you called her beautiful!"

"Oh? It seems the princess has one more side of her, hmm?" Rudy teased. "I don't want to call you a yandere, but you seem like one."
