Esper Harem in the Apocalypse-Novel

Rudy expected Alice to be angry at him because he was more than five minutes late, but for some reason, Alice was smiling at him.

'Well, it's not that strange, to be honest. I would be happy as hell too if I was waiting for my crush to arrive. And I am currently thrilled, and I still can't believe that I am going on a date with Alice— my childhood friend, who is also the school idol.'

'Everyone wants to go out with her, but here I am, going on a date with her. I can't wait to see the reactions of the schoolmates once Alice and I officially start dating.'

Rudy forgot that in that school, there was someone who would be most shocked of all, and that was his math teacher, Rize— who was there on her internship. But he soon realized that, and his happiness decreased by 0.69%.

'If everything goes alright today, and I manage to convince Alice to join my harem. I will make moves on Rize tomorrow,' Rudy decided inwardly.

Rudy stood in front of Alice and smiled awkwardly at her.

While he may look confident from the outside, he was still a little anxious from the inside.

Sure, this wasn't his first date with a girl since he had gone on many dates with his girlfriend and one more girl in his past life. But still, it was his first time going on a date in this life, and that too with Alice.

"Good… morning…" Alice greeted Rudy with an anxious smile on her face.

However, Alice was more anxious than Rudy.

"Sorry, I am late. There was this dog barking at me outside and…" Rudy stopped on his words after seeing how beautiful Alice looked.

"How do I look?" Alice asked as she spun around.

"I… don't know how to describe it in words. So…" Rudy closed his distance and moved his face close to Alice's face to kiss her after saying, "Can I show it with a kiss."

Rudy expected Alice to pucker her lips and wait for the kiss, but instead, she pushed him away.

"..."

Alice pointed her gaze at the car standing behind them and whispered, "Dad is in the car."

"Oh…"

Rudy cleared his throat and said, "Shall we go now?"

"About that…" Alice averted her gaze as she said that.

"Don't tell me you can't come today either…"

"No, that's not it." Alice sighed and said, "He is saying that he would drop us in his car."

"You don't want him to…?" Rudy wondered with a puzzled look on his face.

"I thought you wouldn't like it…" Alice uttered in a low voice.

"I think it's fine." Rudy nodded. "We will have to wait for the bus and…" Rudy looked at the time and said, "We just missed a bus. The next one is after 30 mins."

"Okay then."

Alice and Rudy walked to the car and stood in front of the front door.

Alice's father— George, rolled down the window and stared at Rudy for a few seconds before moving his gaze to Alice.

"I told you to wait in the car, yet you waited outside…"

"I wanted to greet him properly," Alice uttered in a low voice.

George turned on the car and said, "Hope in."

Alice opened the backdoor and sat on the backseat, and Rudy wanted to sit in the passenger's seat beside George, but Alice grabbed his hands and gestured to him to sit with her in the backseat.

Rudy sat in the backseat beside Alice and shot a glance at George, who was looking at them from the rearview mirror.

'Isn't he behaving strangely?' Rudy wondered. 'I mean, I am going on a date with his daughter, and that too to the waterpark. But it's still strange for him to act like this. He is normally a chill guy, at least from what I know and how I interacted with him in the past few days.'

'Besides, wasn't he the only one who kept making jokes about my and Alice's relationship?'

In the end, Rudy shrugged it off thinking it was simply a father being protective of his daughter.

George drove the car and turned on the radio for some music.

'Ah, yes. The old songs… bring back memories. I also have many of them on my phone, but the quality is shit, the internet is expensive, and the storage is full. Maybe I should buy a new phone?'

Rudy's current phone was given to him by Rebecca, but of course, it was a second-handed and damaged phone.

However, the only reason Rebecca bought him the phone was that she could call him whenever she wanted and keep in touch with him. At that time, Rudy was against getting a phone, and he wanted a feature phone as they were cheaper and easy to use.

But now that Rudy has traveled back in time, Rudy has seen advanced technology. Even after Rudy had got into an accident and was left crippled, he could still see the world evolve and move into the era of technology. The later years were revolutionary and humankind had achieved unbelievable feats. But unfortunately, everything ended when Rudy became blind after two years of experiment.

Halfway through their destination, the song changed and switched to the live broadcast.

[We just got two big pieces of news that could either blow your mind or leave you speechless. Either way, they both are the same thing, so don't worry about it.]

'Is this a comedy show?!'

[The first news is about a strange anomaly that happened in the 69th street of downtown. A house that belonged to a person named— just kidding! I can't disclose the name, or I would lose my job.]

'That's the landlord's address. I guess this was supposed to happen. But let's see what the investigation says about the incident. I didn't leave any clues behind, so I should be safe,' Rudy uttered inwardly.

[This incident happened the night before yesterday, but it was made public today a few minutes ago.]

'They must have investigated before making it public.. But let's see if they did a good job on that nor not. '
