And I am her son. Don't you see how wrong and immoral it is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immoral? How exactly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on. You are not seriously asking that, right? It's wrong on so many levels.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay. Listen. You love her, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... yes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You love her romantically, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You love her as a woman, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you want to kiss her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you want to fuck her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... imagined that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ehe~\" Angelica licked her lips seductively and said, \"Legally, it's questionable. Morally, it's disgusting. But personally, I like it~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's because you are a pervert and a degenerate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, my~\" Angelica squirmed and said, \"Don't praise me too much. You will make me blush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Rudy facepalmed himself and muttered, \"I shouldn't have told you anything. I know you will make fun of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not. Seriously. And I always expected something like this to happen. You might not have realized, but you had a thing for her, but I couldn't dare to say that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nyxia said the same thing...\" Rudy recalled. \"Did I truly look at mom... like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not as intense, but yes,\" Angelica nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow... so... what should I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you asking me? And I already told you. Add her to your harem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? Are you afraid of something? Or is there anything that stops you from doing that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obviously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who? Is it Joe? What can he do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. Not him. It's...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, are you worried about what the world might think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since when did you start caring about what the world thinks? Perhaps, you are afraid of getting judged by the other harem members?\" Angelica asked with a curious look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. But I am more worried about what mom would think. We are finally on talking terms again, and if I try something funny... I am scared of being hated by her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy lay down on the bed and said, \"I would rather have a normal relationship with her and stay with her for the rest of my life than try to make a move on her and get hated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are the Lord. You are the harem Lord. Come on. You can make any girl fall for you. Why are you so afraid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, the girl in question is my mother, and you don't know her well. But I will try to... make moves on her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about you go now?\" Angelica suggested with an innocent face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. She is taking a bath right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then that's a golden opportunity! Dash inside and play dumb like you always do. Say 'I didn't know anyone was in there' or something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She mentioned in front of me that she is going to take a bath. That won't work. And just let her rest. I will think of plans later when I decide. It's still wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy touched his lips and sniffed his hands as he said, \"Her lips were so juicy, and her boobs were so soft. She smelled nice too, and it was... otherworldly! I can't describe how excited I was!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelica nodded and patted Rudy while saying, \"You have finally become a man of culture. I am so proud of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you are still Mommy's Boy,\" she added with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy sighed and said, \"I don't think I can deny that now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging by what you told me. Are you sure it was an accident?\" Angelica asked with a knowing look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your powers allow you to do anything you want. Perhaps, deep down, you wished for something like that to happen, and it happened,\" Angelica shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not how my powers worked. For example, currently, I am wishing for the night, so I can go and gamble. But there will be night when the time comes. You can't say my powers did that. That was supposed to happen, so it happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. But even if something happens, it doesn't just happen. It gets triggered by something. And that was your power. They triggered this incident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By that logic, it means that the gambling I won was because I wanted to win, and my powers helped me win,\" Rudy remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Super luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not exactly deny your theory. It might be possible, but there is no solid proof. Still, I will experiment with this and confirm it,\" Rudy nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I go back to sleep.\" Angelica entered Rudy's body and said, 'Keep our emotions in control.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy sat at his desk and began doing the homework that Rize had given to all the students. When he was halfway through, he received a message from Alice asking about the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of replying, he video called her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hey....] Alice said, but her screen, or rather the camera, switched to the rear camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Switch your camera. I can't see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I look weird on video calls. The quality is not that good, and everything looks horrible. My nose looks big, and the--]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Change it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fine~!] Alice groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice switched her camera to the front while saying, [Don't laugh.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, come on. You look so pretty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What were you doing?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing. Reading Rize's love letter,\" Rudy replied with a short scoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Huh?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am talking about the homework.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Oh! I just finished it a few minutes ago.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about you send me the answers so I can save my time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No. Do it for yourself. But if you are having a problem solving the equations, you can let me know. I will help you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, even if I don't do the homework, I don't think Rize would do anything to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Oh, she will. She will punish you with all her heart's content.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's a great idea!\" Rudy suddenly exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What is...?] Confusion was visible on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just have to get on Rize's nerves, so she punishes me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice had to take a minute to understand what Rudy was saying. She was worried something might have changed him in the vampire world, and he became a masochist.\u003C\u002Fp>",1042,"2026-06-06T12:42:09.049Z",1,"novelbin.me","2a824f8bf2a9ce4b774d189e19326868977f1c69d60f4296166fbfd4927fffbb","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-386","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-384",1163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fesper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-cover.jpg"]
