Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

The people eventually left as the closing time of the water park drew close. And soon, the entire water park was empty.

Rudy and Reina were in her office, staring at each other with alluring gazes in their eyes.

However, it wasn't how it looked like.

While it was true that Reina was staring at Rudy, Rudy couldn't stare at Reina because Angelica was sitting in between to block Rudy's view.

Of course, Rudy could use his see-through ability to look past Angelica's body, but Angelica was being annoying again.

Rudy wasn't angry, but he was a little mad because she wasn't letting him stare at Reina's breasts.

"Do you want your tickets now?" Reina asked curiously.

"Yeah," Rudy nodded. "But I am surprised no one came to get tomorrow's tickets. I assumed I would have to stand in line, but I guess I am lucky to have the owner and the manager paying extra attention to me."

"Uhh… well, if you had come yesterday, you would have had to stand in the line. But we opened online bookings starting today, so I guess people would prefer to buy online, don't you think?"

"Who usually sits on the ticket window?" Rudy asked with a curious look on his face.

"I do."

"Heh!" Rudy scoffed out loud and said, "Then, I wouldn't mind standing in the line even for 10 hours."

"Hmm?"

"I mean, if I can get to see you, it's worth a wait."

Reina finally realized what Rudy was trying to say.

"You… were you always this good at flirting?" Reina asked with a flushed face.

"It's an art."

Reina got up from her seat and opened the drawer to give tickets to Rudy.

"How many friends are you bringing with you?" Reina asked. "I think you mentioned it in the morning, but I forgot since I was happy and excited to see you after a week."

"I am bringing one friend with me," Rudy replied.

"..." After a brief silence, Reina turned to Rudy and asked, "Just curious, but that one friend of yours doesn't happen to be a girl, right?"

"Umm… it's a girl…" Rudy uttered with an awkward smile on his face.

Reina squinted her eyes and asked, "Is she only a 'friend' or something else? I am not saying it's strange, but I do think it's a little too brazen to bring a female friend to a water park."

"Well… we are… more than friends…"

"..." Reina stared at Rudy in disbelief and asked, "What's your relationship with her?"

"We are more than friends, but less than lovers," Rudy replied honestly.

"So… in short…" Reina formed an 'O' with her thumb and finger and inserted the middle finger of her other hand in the 'O'. Then, she uttered, "Friends with benefits?"

'I hate how Angelica said the same thing!' Rudy groaned inwardly.

"It's because it sounds like that," Angelica quipped. "No matter how you look at it, your relationship with Alice is the same as friends with benefits. And the only difference is that you two love each other."

'And that makes us lovers. We have already confessed to each other, so now I only need to ask her out. And I will do that tomorrow after the date ends,' Rudy asserted.

"Rudy?" Reina called out to Rudy and said, "Do you love that girl?"

"I do…"

"Hmm…so… did I just make out with a man who belongs to someone else…?" Reina asked with a curious yet calm look on her face.

"Not really. We two are not going out."

"I see…" Reina licked her lips and asked, "Have you kissed her yet?"

Rudy nodded and said, "I have."

"..."

"More than you," he added.

"Have you done 'it' with her?" Reina asked with a hesitant look on her face, as though she was afraid to know the answer.

"No."

"Hmm. So we both are on the same level, huh?" Reina smirked.

"..." Rudy raised his brows with a surprised look on his face when he saw Reina smirking. It wasn't as though it was his first time seeing her smirking, but the look on her face matched the look on Angelica's face.

"Actually… I haven't sucked her boobs, but I sucked yours. So… I guess that leaves you on the winning side…" Rudy wondered.

Reina took out two tickets from the drawer and handed them to Rudy: "Here. Two tickets for adults."

Rudy placed the tickets in his pockets and stared at Reina with a judging look on his face.

"What?" Reina asked after noticing Rudy's gaze.

"I am surprised you are not angry or jealous…" Rudy uttered in a low voice after realizing he shouldn't have asked that. Or at least, he should have phrased it better.

"Well, it's true that I am not angry. But I am jealous…" Reina muttered. She puffed her cheeks and said, "I can't get angry because you started your relationship with her before me. So I have no right to stop you. In fact, it would be devastating if that girl asks you to break your relationship with me."

"I am… not sure about that, to be honest." Rudy held Reina's hand in his hand and said, "let's go talk outside.

"Okay…"

Reina followed Rudy's lead without any hesitation.

Rudy took her to the nearby pool and said, "Do you want to take a dip with me?"

Reina looked at the water in the pool and said, "I don't know how to swim."

"And… you run a water park…" Rudy stared at Reina with a judging look on his face.

"That has nothing to do with it!" Reina yelled with a flushed face. "I grew up here. So when I was a kid, I slipped into the pool and nearly drowned. It was nighttime, and my little sister and I weren't allowed to go near the pools. But…"

Reina stopped and glared at Rudy, who was laughing at her.

She puffed her cheeks and said, "You meanie!"

Rudy walked close to Reina and placed his hand on her waist. He looked into her eyes and said, "Don't worry. You don't have to learn to swim. I will be your water, and you can swim on me."

Rudy kissed Reina on the lips and jumped in the pool with her.

At first, Reina freaked out, but she believed in Rudy. Sure enough, Reina didn't drown.

It wasn't as though Reina had miraculously learned to swim, but Rudy was using hydrokinesis to control the water that allowed Reina to float in the water."

Then, Rudy grabbed Reina's hand and pulled her close before pressing his lips on her lips.

They kissed and kissed. But after a few minutes, Rudy stopped and stared into her eyes with a serious look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Reina asked with a puzzled look on her face. "You look all serious suddenly…"

"I have something important to tell you." Rudy had decided to tell Reina everything about his past life.

"Wait a minute…" Reina took a deep breath and exhaled sharply. Then, she looked into Rudy's eyes and asked, "Are you going to say 'our relationship won't work out' or something along those lines?"

"What? No. But it's related to that. And it would be up to you to decide where to take our relationship." After a brief pause, Rudy continued, "I am going to tell you something that could make you question the reality. However, there are chances that you won't believe me and brand me as an insane person."

After noticing the anxious look on Rudy's face, Reina kissed him on the lips and said with a smile on her face: "I would never do that. I would believe in every word you say."

Rudy smiled back at Reina and pointed his gaze at the edge of the pool.

"Let's talk while sitting because it's going to be a long story."

30 minutes later.

Reina was staring at Rudy in disbelief with a baffled look on her face as though she had heard unimaginable things.

"You are kidding, right?!" she exclaimed.

Rudy squinted his eyes at Reina and asked, "What happened to that 'I would believe in every word you say'?"

"No, no. I am not saying that I don't believe you. You have superpowers, so obviously you are telling the truth. But still… really?!" she exclaimed again.

"You went through all that pain and suffering for years? And I was thinking my life is hell. It is nothing compared to your life struggles…" she muttered with an anxious look on her face.

"Yeah. But I am in a better place now." Rudy kissed Reina and said, "With you and the other girls."

"I am still not completely sure about the harem, though." Reina furrowed her brows and said, "You make it seem like you are a playboy."

Rudy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Honestly, I can satisfy all of you girls. So I don't think there should be any problems."

"Have you told this to any other girls in your harem?" Reina asked curiously.

Rudy nodded and answered, "You are the second one. And I plan to tell every one of them once my relationship advances."

"Who is the first one? The 'friends with benefits'?" Reina asked with a judging look on her face.

"Her name is Alice. And please, don't call her that," Rudy uttered in a calm voice.

"Fine~ I will call her Alice," Reina groaned. "Tomorrow, I will see what type of girl she is."

"Oh! There is one more thing I forgot to tell you."

"Hmm?"

"There is a ghost girl sitting beside you. And she is the first member of my harem," Rudy uttered nonchalantly.
