Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

"I don't know Angelica's real name so finding out about her was a little hard. The only way to know about her death incident was to read physical newspapers, but that was all futile.

Due to the pandemic, everything before it is destroyed. The entire world was affected by it except my town and the neighboring ones, and it was nasty. Watching it on the internet made me realize how bad it was."

"You… didn't say why you are scared of losing her… I mean, how would you lose her?" Rias asked with a calm and curious look on her face.

"First thing first, I cannot look for clues about anything related to Angelica when she is around. She lives inside me, so she is always around me. So I have to make sure she is sleeping before researching more.

I want to tell her everything, but I want to know it first. I wanted to find her killers, her family, her friends. But the clues I have obtained so far lead to only one possible reason.

The tunnel was the first mega project of this town, and it brought revolution, quite literally. When it was made, everyone came to look at it— even from the other towns and villages.

And teenagers are obviously more interested in that type of stuff.

When Angelica died, she was eighteen years old. And when I saw her for the first time… or should I say, found her? She was wearing her high school clothes, which would imply that she had gone to the tunnel before or after school.

I tried to search for the school using the uniform, but no school had such a uniform. And there is a possibility that Angelica wasn't from this or the neighboring towns or cities.

After thinking about it for a while, the murderer could be a serial killer who just enjoyed killing people, or… it was someone Angelica knew. Or else, why would anyone let someone come near them if they didn't trust them enough?

Unless, of course, it was a surprise attack from a serial killer, who just loved killing the victim in a barbaric way, or it was someone Angelica knew. She was stabbed 112 times, and that's not the work of a normal killer. Anyone would run or try to run after getting stabbed once and I am sure Angelica did too, but she was stopped and stabbed again and again.

She was left to die like that… she was still alive after the stabs as the killer had missed the vital organs. She waited for help but she died… helplessly… in pain. What I concluded is… that Angelica was killed by her classmates. I am not completely sure about it, but that's what I think.

I could tell everything I knew to Angelica, but… she could become evil and seek revenge. I honestly don't care about that. Even if she turns evil, she will still be Angelica, and I will gladly be her accomplice in revenge.

However, there are high chances that her soul will pass away once she has taken her revenge. I don't know how it works, and until I am not entirely sure about that, I don't want to learn more.

The only thing Angelica has asked me is to find who she was and who killed her. She never asks me about it, but she sometimes mentions it subtly. I want to find out, and I want to tell her.

But… that has to wait until I have sorted out everything. I am going to take care of that once I get you all a better house. Maybe a palace or a castle would suit you."

He chuckled softly in Rias' ears and smiled distantly before continuing, "And… I never thought I would actually say this, but…"

"...?"

"Angelica… no, all the girls in my harem think that I love Elise the most, and then you are my second favorite. But… the truth is that Angelica is my favorite."

"Oh! Now that's something I had never expected to hear. I was defeated by a ghost, huh?"

"I will never say this to Angelica or the other girls. I don't want them to fight over me to become my next favorite. There is no point in doing that, in my opinion. And obviously, I will treat you all equally regardless of your statuses," he added.

"You had sex with all the girls a while ago, didn't you?" Rias asked with a knowing look on her face.

"I knew you would notice it. That's why I called Jane first because had I taken Niti with me, Jane would have sensed and smelled my scent and essence on Niti. So I took Jane first, so even if Niti returned after swallowing a few loads, Jane wouldn't notice and think that it was coming from herself.

That reminds me…" Rudy pulled Rias' cheek and asked, "When are you going to tell Jane? I won't play along with this act if you keep stalling it."

Rias bit her lips and frustration and asked, "Why do you keep asking me that?!"

"Because you have the responsibility."

"What about her, then? She is the one who laid her hands on my lover! She never came to tell me about it, so why should I initiate this matter?"

"It's not about that. And she was going to tell you, but I told you first in her stead. If you want, I can tell her in your stead too. I just want you two to get along. You two are sisters, twins at that. If you want time, then you can take it, but do it as soon as possible. I want to get sister sandwiched," he uttered in a neutral tone.

"Sisters sandwich? What's that?" Rias asked with a puzzled and curious look on her face.

"Threesome with two girls who are sisters."

"..." Rias shot a glare at Rudy and remarked, "I can't believe you just said that."

"I don't think there are many lucky men like me who have had threesomes with sisters, twin sisters at that.
