Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

"Are you okay with me having a harem?" Rudy asked in a calm voice, but he was anxious from the inside.

"..." Alice didn't say anything and simply stared at Rudy with a judging look on her face.

"Come on~!" Rudy groaned. "Don't keep me in suspense like that. It's nerve-racking."

"It's just hilarious that you are asking your girlfriend if she is okay with her boyfriend fooling around with other girls or not," Alice commented. "And no girl would be okay with that."

"Well, the other two are…" Rudy muttered.

"Yeah, because they know they wouldn't stand a chance. Or that they don't have any other choice but to be okay with it," she said and added, "And honestly, that pool girl seemed to be the type of girl I wouldn't get along with. She had the nerve to… to have sex with you while I was standing in the waiting line to order the food!"

"Well, that wasn't entirely her fault. I also kind of…"

Alice raised her brows and said, "So I wasn't enough for you…"

"..."

"We were on a date, Rudy. And you couldn't stay mine for one day. Yet, you are expecting me to share you with other girls all the time?"

"The only reason I did it with Reina in her office today was that I was… horny. I already told you about my super libido and how dangerous that is."

"Oh? So you saw many half-naked girls in the waterpark and got horny, so you fucked a girl while you were on a date with me?" Alice remarked with a knowing look on her face.

"No. I was horny because of you."

"Because of me? Don't lie. My swimsuit wasn't even revealing."

"You have no idea how beautiful you looked in the swimming suit. All of my hormones were going wild, you know?"

"Alright. I believe that. But that's no excuse for what you did." Alice furrowed her brows at Rudy and said, "What else did you do behind my back today?"

"Nothing."

"What about the ghost girl you mentioned? You have fucked her the most, right?" Alice squinted her eyes and asked, "Where is she? Is she standing beside me?"

"No. She is not with me today," Rudy answered in a calm voice.

"Is that so? Or is she just afraid to face my wrath?" Alice scoffed.

'Not going to lie, I expected her to be angry, but this is on a whole other level. Of course, it's natural for her to be furious, and I am not complaining, but… by the looks of it… she might say no to the harem,' Rudy thought.

"Do you love both of them?" Alice asked.

"Yeah."

"More than me?"

"I would rather not answer that. And I won't be answering that to any girl on that matter. I have said this before and I will say it again, that I have and will love each and every girl in my harem, equally," Rudy stated without stuttering.

"You speak big words and make heavy promises, but do you have what it takes to fulfill them?" Alice asked with a judging look on her face. "Anyone can make an impossible promise, and that itself is not a big thing. You will hardly see anyone fulfilling their promise nowadays. And that degrades the value of promises."

"I have superpowers, and even if I did, I would try my best to love you all equally and keep you happy and satisfied," Rudy said without breaking eye contact with Alice.

"I know, and I don't doubt your words. But what about the unavoidable circumstances?"

"What do you mean…?" Rudy asked with a puzzled look on his face

"According to you, I am not the main girl; it's your girlfriend— Elise. And she is the most important to you, am I right?"

"..."

"Suppose, I agreed to be part of your harem, but what would you do if she said no to the harem?"

"I…"

"Okay. Let me rephrase my question." Alice stared into Rudy's eyes and said, "What would you do if I said no to join your harem? Would you leave all the girls for me? Or would you leave me for the other girls?"

"And obviously, I don't mean it in an evil way. I know you want to save those girls like you want to save me. So I am not talking about saving them, I am asking about you falling in love with them or they falling in love with you," she added.

"Reina also asked me this…"

"What did you answer?" Alice asked curiously.

"I did not answer her. I want to avoid answering this question." Rudy let out a weary sigh and said, "It's honestly terrifying. I don't want to imagine it."

"Yeah. It is a terrifying question, and that's why I asked you."

"If that's your answer to my question, and if you are truly against the harem, then I will answer your question too," Rudy uttered in a solemn voice.

"That was a hypothetical question."

Alice laid down on the bed and covered her head around the pillow as though her brain was malfunctioning.

"Listen, I don't want to force my opinion on you, but it's not like…umm... our relationship would change much if you were a part of my harem. In fact, I want you to join my harem," Rudy uttered in a low voice.

"And that's called forcing your opinion on me," Alice remarked.

"No, I am just stating my thoughts and feelings. But it's up to you to decide if you truly want to be a part of my harem or not."

"You can't be serious. Forcing this tough decision on me…" Alice puffed her cheeks and said, "Having a harem is every man's dream; it only exists in fantasy, but you are trying to make it a reality."

"I am not denying that. Never in my life have I thought about harem if it wasn't for Angelica talking me into that. And honestly, I can't see any other option either. I already lost you once, and I don't want to lose you again," he said with a slight smile on his face.

Alice sat back up and said, "I have made my decision."

Rudy gulped down with an anxious look on his face and asked, "And… that is…?"

Alice looked into Rudy's eyes and opened her mouth to say, "I…"
