Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

[The entire mansion suddenly collapsed overnight without any sign of earthquake or natural phenomena nearby. But the investigation revealed that the house was forcibly demolished by something.]

[Of course, that's the only possibility, but it sounds so stupid. I don't understand why the police think that we citizens would believe that. If it was really demolished by someone, the neighbors would have seen it. While the neighbors claimed that the house collapsed within seconds, and no one, and I repeat, none can demolish a house in seconds. So do the police think we are stupid? Well, they probably do.]

[Putting all that aside— just kidding, I have been warned before this, and right now too, my boss is glaring at me. I think I might get fired after this session, and in case I do get fired, please follow me on social media. I will keep you all updated.]

[And you know what? I think I will leave this place before they fire me. I mean, self-respect is a thing, you know? Heh! They forget that this show is only alive because of me. Now, now. I know I sound like a narcissist, but it's true.]

[You all love my voice and commentary, don't you? You can listen to songs anywhere, but you can't listen to my voice. Well, anyway, let's go back to the topic.]

After a brief pause, the voice continued, [It seems that the owner of the house was in the house when this all happened. And his body was found completely squished under the debris. Poor fella.]

[But he must be sleeping when this all happened, so I don't think it would have hurt him much, or maybe he was still alive after all that, and he died, slowly slowly, as the death got near him, his body stopped moving and his vision faded.]

"..." Rudy felt anxious after hearing that. The description the voice gave about dying was the exact same as how Rudy felt when he was dying in his past life.

Of course, it was more painful, and Rudy was already blind. But the experiments made Rudy highly sensitive to pain, and even a little poke hurt him more than a thousand needles.

[However, it has also been claimed that the incident was the same as the incident that occurred with the abandoned tunnel in the neighboring town. While it may be true, they need to find the culprit first before claiming anything.]

'They got that true, but I am sure it was a wild guess. However, I think I should be more careful about all this.'

Rudy wasn't worried about getting recorded in a video as he knew that the current phone didn't have the resolution and power to catch something moving far away at high speed.

[Moving on, the second news is about the bank robbery, or should I say— bank heist that happened in the capital bank.]

'Oh? This never happened in my past life.'

[The heist was done the way it was done 6 months ago, but this time, they had advanced equipment which was never seen by someone. Even the scientists and the experts said that the technology was far too advanced for us.]

[However, the government did pull a nasty move against the robbers. They devalued the money stolen from the bank. By that, I mean that the money stolen from the bank was newly printed. And as with every other note, they had a serial number.]

[So, the government declared that the note bills with the serial number xx from xxxx will be devalued. Now that's a nasty payback to those—]

For some reason, George smashed the 'off' switch and turned off the radio.

However, Rudy was lost in another thought.

'The heist was done the way it was done 6 months ago, but this time, they had advanced equipment which was never seen by someone. Even the scientists and the experts said that the technology was far too advanced for us.'

After hearing that, Rudy couldn't help but think of the advanced technology the landlord had in his house that he used as security.

'The landlord had said that he got his hands on the advanced technology from someone he met in the underworld. And even though it is possible for the underworld to have mysterious and secret things, I highly doubt that they can prepare advanced technology without advanced mechanisms and equipment.'

'Unless something else is involved. Something… supernatural.' After a brief pause, Rudy thought, 'I think I will have to visit the underworld soon, and for that, I will have to pull my connections.'

'If I ask Maria, she would take me there, but that would mean exposing my plan and using Maria's help. I would be allowed to enter the underworld, but not without Maria. That's why, once the tournament starts, I will win as much money as I can and make my name. And after that, I would get entry to the underworld.'

Rudy's to-do list has been constantly increasing, and he had so many things he had to do. Not to forget to not repeat the same mistakes as his past life, and remember every major event that occurred in his past life to make them better.

There were too many things, and it wasn't easy. But with the help of his superpowers, Rudy was confident enough that he would do better than he had expected.

A few minutes later, the car stopped in the street opposite the waterpark.

George turned off the car and said, "We have reached."

Alice got out of the car and pulled Rudy with her.

"Thanks, dad."

"No problem." George shot a glance at Rudy and said, "Be careful."

"...?"

"The waterpark closes at around 7 PM, so I will come to pick you two up," George asserted. "Don't make me wait."

"There is no need to. Rudy and I will go to a café or restaurant afterward."

George drove off without saying anything.

Alice and Rudy glanced at each other and nodded in agreement as though they both were thinking of the same thing.

They both turned around with a smile on their faces. However, Alice jumped for a hug, while Rudy tried to kiss her.

"..."

They weren't thinking the same thing, after all.
