Esper Harem in the Apocalypse Chapter 194 Direct Contact

Chapter 194 Direct Contact

'How can I fast forward the time even faster? It takes five minutes to boost one day, and that's not a small number, in my opinion. It's already crazy to be able to fast forward one day in just 5 minutes, but I want more.'
"If you don't mind, you can tell me how you did that. Maybe I can help you with it?" Virgil asked in a calm voice.
"It's... complicated to explain…"
Rudy started fast-forwarding the time again while thinking of a new way.
'Wait, what I am doing right now is fast-forwarding the time on Rias' body and tricking the spell into thinking that one day has passed.'
It didn't take a while for Rudy to realize what the problem was.
'Seriously, my own genius frightens me…'
"Virgil." Rudy turned to Virgil and said, "What type of spell did you cast to put her in a slumber?"
"It was the normal or rather, the basic spell used to put kids to sleep. I just enhanced it and made it six months long slumber," Virgil replied.
"What part of the body does it affect?"
"It should affect the whole body, obviously."
'I need to fast forward the spell, not Rias' body. But I will need to touch the spell for that. How can I touch the spell? A spell is just a…'
"Do you want to touch the spell?" Jane asked in a meek voice.
"Yeah…?"
"I can help you with that."
"How?"
"I can see the spell."
"Oh. But how will you help me see the spell? I can't see with your eyes." Rudy looked into Jane's eyes and said, "Unless…"
Jabe squinted her eyes and said, "Don't think of weird things. I will help you see it."
Jane got off the bed and hugged Rudy from behind.
"What are…you…"
"Keep quiet."
Jane pressed her body against Rudy's back and opened her mouth to bite him on the neck.
"Can I ask what you are doing? And it hurts when you bite me."
"I will share my senses with you, and to do that, I will have to make direct contact with you," Jane stated.
"But there have to be other ways to share senses, right?"
"There are, but this is the safest," she replied.
"Well, not for me." Rudy turned to Virgil and asked, "What are the other ways to share senses?"
"There is only one requirement to share senses, and that is to have direct contact between two conscious people. It can be done through biting, as Jane is trying to do, or you can kiss or go all the way. So you can say that there are three ways to share senses," Virgil replied while nodding with his eyes closed.
'I may be the Vampire Monarch, but I don't want to see my granddaughter do something like that in front of my eyes. As much as I hate it, I can't do anything to stop them,' Virgil uttered inwardly.
Jane squeezed Rudy's body under her grasp and whispered into his ears, "You wouldn't want to kiss the girl you hate so much, right?"
"I don't hate you, though…" Rudy muttered.
"...!"
Flustered, Jane bit her lips and asked, "So? What do you want to do? Would you rather endure the pain and let me bite you or kiss me?"
"Uhh… both of them are problematic for me, not going to lie…" Rudy sighed.
"If you choose the latter one, then you would be kissing your future sister-in-law. Don't forget that," Jane remarked with a grin on her face, seemingly trying to tease Rudy.
"What about you? Would you kiss your future brother-in-law?" Rudy scoffed softly and continued, "I wouldn't mind kissing you if that is for the sake of Rias. How far can you go for her sake?"
"..." Jane was even more flustered than before.
'He has been making fun of me since we met tonight. So I thought this was the perfect chance to get him back for everything he did to me so far. What happened to him?! I thought he was a shy and meek boy. How did he become so cheeky?!'
Jane had no idea that even now, she was being played by Rudy.
Rudy's telepathy had recently evolved into mind-reading, which allowed him to read or share the memories of the person he was touching. And currently, he could hear Jane's thoughts crisp and clear.
'What should I do?' Jane thought. 'I drank his blood earlier, and it was so tasty that I can't hold my thirst to drink his blood again. But… I also have a chance to kiss him. That is a little…'
Jane touched her lips and thought, 'I have never kissed anyone, and I have no idea how it feels. But I have heard my friends mentioning the magical feeling. Some even said it felt better than drinking blood.'
Jane gulped down to sate her bloodthirst, which made her even more thirsty.
'What should I do?! I can't decide!' Jane was conflicted, and she had forgotten the main purpose of making direct contact with Rudy, which was to share her senses with him.
'Now that I think of it, I can drink his blood even after sharing his senses. I will just make some excuse to do that. But I would never get a chance to kiss him again, nor would I be able to make any excuse. This is my best chance to experience the feeling of a kiss!'
"I… don't want to hurt you by drinking your blood, so let's k-kiss and be done with it…" Jane stuttered with a flushed face.
'She thinks she is fooling me, but she is only fooling herself. Seriously, I expected her to be a little more mature than Rias, although it's not like Rias was any more mature. Still, I can't believe she agreed to kiss me just because she wanted to experience the feeling of a kiss,' Rudy uttered inwardly.
Rudy turned around and pulled Jane close.
"Don't get the wrong idea! I am only doing this for Rias' sake!" she hissed with a flushed face.
Rudy didn't say anything in response and stared into Jane's eyes.
'Don't look into a vampire's eyes, they say. They will charm you, they say. Then why… I am the one getting charmed by looking into his eyes?' Jane thought as she submitted herself to Rudy.
