Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 267 Blood Moon TreesRudy spread all the dirty plates and pots in the air and used the mixture of hydrokinesis to wash the dishes.

When Niti returned with a glass filled with a milkshake, she was left speechless to see all the plates were washed and cleaned. Not only that, but Rudy had also cleaned the table.

”Why… would you do all that? It was my job…” she muttered in confusion.

”Don’t get the wrong idea. I only did that because I was bored. I do it at home, and this is the best way to learn to control my powers precisely. They help me get a better judgment,” he stated.

Niti nervously glanced at Jane from the corner of her eyes and saw she didn’t look happy about it. Of course, she was glad that Niti’s work was done by Rudy, but she was displeased that Rudy did it for Niti’s sake.

It was but a simple feeling of every girl in love; jealousy.

”Here…” Niti handed a glass filled with a milkshake to Rudy.

”Red… or is it pink…?” The color was lighter than red but darker than pink.

”Uhh…” Rudy turned to Jane and asked, “Please tell me it’s not the blood mixed with milk.”

”It’s not,” Niti answered instead of Jane. “It’s pure milk and a blood moon fruit.”

”And… what is that fruit made of?”

”It’s a natural fruit from a tree.”

”Why is it called the blood moon fruit?”

”Ahem!” Jane cleared her throat to bring Rudy’s attention to her. Then she haughtily flicked her hair and uttered with a proud face:

”They are called the blood moon fruit because they only grow once a year under the full red moon, which is the blood moon week for us vampires, which is the current week. It is said that the blood moon tree was the first thing to be created in this vampire world. Of course, the Lord created it for us vampires, and it was also a substitute for blood.

However, the vampires didn’t like it. They wanted the real world, which angered the Lord. In the end, Lord created a few animals which milked blood instead of milk. That was to decrease the bloodshed in this world and maintain the ecosystem. If the vampires started hunting the animals for food, they would go extinct. Unlike the human world, where there are animals dangerous to humans, in this world, vampires are the most dangerous.

Yet, there were a few rebellious vampires who wanted to drink human blood. So they sneaked out and began hunting the humans until the Lord found out about them and crucified them.

Some say that it was the reason why the Lord had forbidden making contact with the humans. But I believe that wasn’t the whole story.”

’Yeah, that’s not the full story. Nyxia told me the other reasons as well,’ Rudy uttered inwardly.

Jane smiled innocently and waited for Rudy to praise her. But Rudy did something else.

He turned to Niti and said, “So in the end, it’s blood and milk.”

”You can say that, but it’s not the real world. The fruit is a delicacy to the vampires, and they are rare and expensive since there are only a few trees shared between the kingdoms,” she responded calmly.

”You can grow more trees, right? I am not a botanist, but I know many things about how plants and trees work. In fact, that was one of the first things I learned in biology.”

”Mitochondria is a powerhouse of the cell…” he muttered.

”We can’t grow the blood moon trees,” Jane interjected. She frowned her face at Rudy and continued, “Many tried but failed. It’s nearly impossible to grow it.”

”Nearly impossible is not impossible.”

Jane frowned her face even more, but Rudy ignored her and drank a sip from the glass. His eyes widened as he gulped down the entire glass in the second sip.

”Damn, that was awesome!”

”I am glad you liked it.”

”Can I get one more glass?” he asked with a resolute expression.

”Ummm… we are out of blood moon fruits. Today is the second night, and more fruits should arrive soon,” Niti responded.

”I see. Please make me a few glasses when they arrive.”

After that, Rudy tapped on Jane’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go.”

He walked a few steps towards the door but stopped and turned around when he didn’t hear Jane’s footsteps.

She was still sitting on the chair with puffed cheeks and a glare in her eyes.

SIGH!

Rudy used telekinesis and carried Jane into his arms. Then, he walked out of the dining hall while carrying Jane like a princess.

”Would you stop pouting and glaring at me at the same time? It doesn’t make you look scary. I find it rather cute.”

”You have to pay attention to me when I am around. Why were you flirting with Niti in front of me?” she asked in a gloomy voice.

”How was that flirting? I was asking her genuine questions.”

”You could have asked me.”

”You know nothing about food, so I didn’t ask you. And you did answer my question about the blood moon tree history. So what’s this drama about?” he asked with a curious and confused look on his face.

”You didn’t praise me for my answer.”

”I was thinking of rewarding you on the bed instead,” he uttered casually.

”Oh.” Jane’s anger vanished within a second.

Rudy carried Jane to her room, but he stopped halfway and decided to enjoy the cold breeze and the night scenery from the balcony.

”It’s truly so beautiful. I was so angry last night that I didn’t pay attention to anything.”contemporary romance

”Are we going to sleep or have ‘fun’ all night?” Jane asked with an excited face.

”Neither…”

”Huh?”

”Let’s go back.”

”Back where…? Do you want to visit Rias?” she asked curiously.

”No, I will do that in the morning. Right now, I want to go back to the labyrinth.”
