Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

When Rudy teleported to Reina's place, he assumed she would be sleeping as well as it was a late night, but the lights of her office were on for some reason.

'It could be that she kept them on after the last incident, but let's check it out.'

Rudy walked to her office, but the door was locked from inside. He used his see-through ability to look past the door and saw Reina was still awake and doing some work on her desk.

"Well, she is awake, so let's knock."

KNOCK~ KNOCK!

When Rudy knocked for the first time, Reina jolted in surprise and got up from the chair. She moved her hand to the drawer in her desk and grabbed a paper cutter.

"Put that down. It's me."

Reina squinted her eyes and asked, "Who?"

"Rudy, obviously. Did you forget me already?"

"How would I know if it's really you? Tell me the password."

"What password? We don't have such—"

"What's big, thick, and long?" Reina asked.

"My little brother."

Reina placed the cutter on the desk and rushed to the door to open it.

CLICK!

"Can I come in?" he asked.

"Of course."

Rudy entered the office, and Reina closed the door behind him.

"Alice visited me a few days back and told me everything. I was honestly worried about you. I even thought that you forgot your promise to me and left me behind," she said in a low voice.

"I wouldn't blame you for thinking something like that. But let's put that all aside. I am back now."

"Yeah… and..." She pointed her gaze at his clothes and hair and asked, "What's all that?"

"Long story short." Rudy placed his hand on Reina's head and showed her everything. "Many things happened."

"Three… most likely, four new harem members…" That was the first thing to come out of Reina's mouth.

SIGH!

"Can I… hug you?" she asked.

"Sure. Why did you even ask? You can do it any time you want."

Reina hugged Rudy and said, "I missed you so much."

"Did you masturbate thinking about me?"

She averted her gaze and said, "No…"

"That doesn't sound convincing coming from a girl who was caught kissing my picture on the phone," Rudy remarked with a grin on his face.

"I really didn't masturbate! I never got time even though I wanted to…" she muttered after yelling.

Rudy kissed her on the lips and said, "Why are you still awake?"

"Too much work. I was planning the events to attract more customers," she responded with an exhausting sigh.

"That's the manager's job, which is me. I will take care of everything. And do you think you can close the pool for a week or something?"

"Why? Closing for a week in the first month of opening will be bad for the business, right?"

Rudy nodded and said, "That's true. But we still have to do the maintenance of this place. There are no lights in the locker room and bathrooms. There is also the water issue sometimes.

And if you keep running the pool with such problems, some might end up leaving low-star reviews. Many people first check the reviews of the place before coming. And ultimately, the business you are trying so hard to run will flop even before you get your chance."

"Is that…so..?" Reina's face turned pale after hearing that. "I didn't have any complaints so far, so I thought it was alright…"

"That's the one thing, and you don't think that people will keep coming here once the summer ends, do you? This place will be dead, and you will get no revenue," Rudy stated.

"I know. That's why I am trying my best to attract as many customers as possible while it's summer."

"That's not a solution. Listen, as I have previously said, people who want to come here will come here regardless. Advertising this place will only help it boost, but it would be up to them to come or not."

After a brief pause, he asked, "Do you remember I said I will make this place an amusement park?"

Reina nodded without saying anything in response.

"We will start that later this week once I have taken care of your debt."

"But building an entire amusement park can take years, while you only asked to keep this place closed for a week," she muttered in confusion.

"Don't forget that I am superhuman. I will take care of anything, so you don't have to worry about anything. You just plan ahead on what type of rides and structures you want in the amusement park," he said calmly.

"Okay…"

Reina squirmed and said, "Since you are here after so many days, and I have been stressed, can we have some fun?"

"Sure. I will never say no to that. But before that, can you give me your phone?"

Reina unlocked and handed Rudy her phone.

"What do you need it for?" Reina suddenly gasped and said, "Don't tell me you suspect me of cheating!"

"Of course not." Rudy dialed Maria's number and called her.

After a few rings, Maria answered the call with: [Hello?]

"Hey… this is me."

[Uhm… Rudy?]

"Yes. Sorry I didn't contact you before. I was busy with stuff. Do you think we can meet later?" he asked in a calm voice.

[Later as in right now?]

"Only if you are free, of course."

[I am currently in the casino, playing against the strangers and stacking money to pass some time.]

"Great. I will meet you outside the casino after an hour or so."

[Okay. I will win a few thousand in the meantime.]

Maria hung up the call after saying that.

"Here." Rudy handed the phone back to Reina.

"..." Reina squinted her eyes and said, "I could hear the girl's voice from the phone."

"Yes. She is a mafia princess and supposedly a billionaire. She will be helping me out in everything money-related."

"I…" Reina lowered her gaze and said, "I know you are strong, but I don't think you should get involved with the mafias. They are bad people who kill and spread terror everywhere."

Rudy kissed Reina on the lips before kissing her on the forehead and said, "The only one who will spread the terror is… me."

After spending 'quality' time with Reina and having some 'fun' with her, Rudy teleported near the casino.
