Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 246 Oh. Oh? Oh?!

Chapter 246 Oh. Oh? Oh?!

Rudy and Jane walked, but they couldn't find the exit. The further they walked, the slower Jane's steps became.

Rudy shot a glance at her and uttered, "Did you forget the way?"

"I d-didn't! It's surely ahead."

"We have been walking for about an hour if you haven't realized that yet," he remarked.

"It's not my fault! I came here after 22 years! Maybe even the pathways have changed," she responded with a shrug.

"Yeah, yeah. The princess—"

Rudy suddenly stopped as his ears twitched for some reason. Upon noticing that, Jane asked:

"What's wrong—" Rudy placed his hand on Jane's lips to stop her from speaking.

"There is someone here…." he whispered to her.

"Hmm?" Jane's eyes widened after hearing that, and she scanned the area with her eyes. "I can't see anyone, nor can I hear anyone. I don't sense any presence either. Are you sure?"

Rudy nodded and said, "I heard footsteps coming from the other side. But I don't know the distance. They could be near or far away."

"What should we do now?" Jane asked with an anxious look on her face.

"To be honest, I don't think there is any need for us to worry. Why should we care in the first place?" he scoffed softly. "It's not like this place is restricted for entry or something—"

Jane averted her gaze and muttered, "The books to get clues about the secret pa.s.sages were in a restricted area, so this place has to be restricted too…"

"...." Rudy shook his head in disbelief, but he didn't seem to care much. He had no need to fear anyone.

"Where is the exit?" Rudy asked.

"We are currently lost…" she said without making eye contact with Rudy.

"Oh, great. So now we can't do anything." Rudy let out a weary sigh and grabbed Jane's hand tightly. "Let's go walk around. I am sure we will find the way."

"But what if we run into someone?" she said with a concerned look on her face.

"You are worried about the wrong thing."

Rudy and Jane walked to the pa.s.sage where the sound of the footsteps was coming from.

Jane tried to stop Rudy, but she had no other option but to do what he said.

After walking for a few minutes, the sound of the footsteps became louder, and now even Jane could hear that clearly. But that made her more anxious.

She didn't want to get caught breaking any strict rules as she could be easily criticized like she had been her entire life.

After talking for a few more minutes, Rudy nudged Jane and whispered, "Whoever it is, they are now walking on the same pa.s.sage as us. What do you want me to do?"

"We should hide!" she whispered violently.

"Who else can be in this pa.s.sage? Someone who is in a higher position and knows about this place. And I didn't want to say this, but... Honesty, this place is creepy as f.u.c.k. One wouldn't want to come here, even in their dreams."

Jane hid behind Rudy as the footsteps approached them, but Rudy suddenly thought of an idea.

'When I entered this world, I tried to teleport from the chamber of the valley to the human world, but I couldn't. So I tried to teleport from there to the portal, but I still failed.'

'This world was messing with my powers, or maybe it was the 'cosmic interference' Nyxia was talking about?' Rudy asked himself. 'It happened around the same time.'

'But now that I have spent enough time in this world, maybe I can teleport?'

Rudy tried to teleport to the palace, but it didn't work.

"Tch!" he clicked his tongue in annoyance.

He once again tried to teleport, but only his clothes were teleported.

"....!" Now, Rudy had no choice but to hide. He didn't want anyone to see him naked. But he tried to teleport once again, and he found himself in the palace in Jane's room.

Surprised, Jane glanced around the room and walked to her bed to confirm it was truly her room. But she sighed in relief and said, "It's not my room."

"No, it's your room," Rudy uttered. "I teleported us to your room."

"No, no. It's not my room. Remember there were bloodstains on my bed? They are not here," Jane responded calmly.

"That's because I changed the mattress and the sheets," a voice uttered from the other side of the room.

Jane looked past Rudy's shoulder and saw her maid— Niti standing at the doorway, with Rudy's clothes — that were teleported— in her hands.

"Niti! Close the door before anyone sees us!" Jane whispered violently.

Niti closed the door and looked at naked Rudy before looking at his clothes in her hands. She handed the clothes to him and said:

"I believe they are yours."

"Yes. Thank you."

Rudy instantly wore the clothes and fixed his colors and sleeves.

'Not going to lie, the maid is very composed, and she never loses her cool. Even in the morning, when she walked on us having s.e.x, she didn't react much and waited for me to finish. So I don't think she was bothered after giving me a handjob.'

"Niti! I am glad to see you!" Jane rushed to Niti and asked, "You didn't tell anyone about what you said in the morning, right?"

"No. But I had to get your mattress and sheet washed, so I think the other servants will notice the scent of the human world," she informed in a neutral tone.

"Oh, no!" Jane looked at Rudy and said, "I will be right back!"

Jane rushed out of the room, leaving Niti and Rudy alone.

"..."

"..."

They stared at each other but didn't say anything.

'Well, this is awkward.'

"Umm…" Rudy tried to start the conversation by saying, "Thank you for last night."

"Hmm? Whatever I did to have you thank me?" she asked with a curious and confused look on her face.

"Uhh… you jerked me off last night when I was unconscious, right?"

"No." She shook her head and uttered, "I don't recall doing that. I simply helped the princess carry you to her room. And after that, she told me to keep everyone away from the room."

"Oh….!"
