Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

"Was this phone analyzed by your team?" Rudy asked.

"No. In this city, dozens of crimes happen daily— from small to big ones. And many cases are still pending. This phone was supposed to be tested by our team this weekend. Did you find anything?"

"No. There is nothing."

"But the manager said…"

"Yeah. But such a number doesn't exist. You shouldn't waste your time on this case anymore. Mark is as closed."

"We can't do that. Two robbers of that gang are still out there, and unless we catch them and bring—"

"You will never find them," Rudy stated nonchalantly.

"How can you say that? You don't know Cassy's abilities. She would find the culprit without moving from her desk if she had been provided with enough details."

John took the phone from Rudy's hand and looked at it.

"How can someone find someone if they were wearing a mask?" Rudy asked.

"That's the problem. We reviewed all the footage outside the bank where the van was parked, but the signals and camera were jammed, so they couldn't record anything," John informed.

"What about the other streets? There are cameras on the main streets, right? Did they spot any van passing by?" Rudy asked curiously.

"Yeah. That's what we did after that. But unfortunately, that wasn't helpful. The van number plate was removed, and the van they used was the best and most selling van for the last three years.

So narrowing it down— even by the color— is extremely hard. Our last hope was Ryan and you, but now you are saying that it's useless and a waste of time."

"That's why I said close the case," Rudy shrugged.

"I will report to Cassy. It's up to her to make the final decision. But knowing her, she won't give up that easily. Normal cases bore her to death as they are easy to solve, but she loves unsolved cases," John sighed.

"I have no idea how she turned out like this. She used to be normal until that incident when she suddenly wanted to become a cop," John shortly added.

"What incident?"

"Well… back when we were four years old, we were playing in the park with the other kids. Long story short, we all were kidnapped. We were saved later, but that sure left a traumatic experience for everyone."

Rudy patted John's shoulder and walked past him after saying, "Doesn't that make your blood boil? Knowing that the criminals are out there, living their lives while their victims are suffering."

John turned out to respond to Rudy, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did he… go?"

John rushed out of the room and the hallway, but he couldn't find Rudy.

'There is only one way to enter and leave the storage room. He couldn't have walked so fast to pass through in such a short time.'

Of course, Rudy had teleported to the pool as his job was done. He went to the police department for only one reason, to confirm whether the robbers were related to the Underworld or not.

They had used advanced technology during robbing, and there was only one place where the robbers would have gotten them— the Underworld.

Rudy wanted to find the remaining two robbers because he was suspicious of something, and he hoped his suspicion would turn out false from the bottom of his heart. He didn't want it to be true as it could destroy his relationship with a certain harem member.

When Rudy teleported to the vampire gang, he was left with an empty room. There was no one in the house.

"Where did they go?" he wondered. "Angelica and Alice are also not here."

Rudy rushed out of the room and jumped in the air, landing in front of Reina's office.

"..."

Reina wasn't in her office either, but Rudy knew where all the girls were. He walked to the reserved pool where Rudy and Alice had their first intimate act.

Upon reaching there, he shook his head in disbelief after seeing the girls enjoying the pool.

"I can't believe you all are having a pool party without me," he said.

All the girls were wearing swimsuits that Rudy had bought on his date with Renia.

Jane, Angelica, Niti, and Vriti were in the pool, swimming. While Reina and Alice were sitting on the ledge of the pool, and Rias was lying on the bench after taking a dip, enjoying fresh lemonade.

"You are finally here," Rias said. "You should have come a while ago. Jane just lost her sunlight virginity."

"Don't name weird terms. And I guess Niti and Vriti also got to experience their first sunlight."

Rudy turned to the other girls and asked, "So… what happened after I left? Why did you decide to have a pool party?"

Angelica stopped swimming and responded, "After you left, Jane, Niti, and Vriti walked under the sun, and then they said they suddenly felt like taking a bath. So Rias and I came here to ask Reina's permission to use one of the pools as the waterpark had already closed.

And Reina suggested this pool. And… then she gave us swimsuits, and everyone got ready for swimming."

"Well, now is time to go back." Rudy nudged Alice with his feet and said, "Come on, it's already past your curfew."

Alice slowly looked up and smiled after seeing Rudy.

"Rudy!" She got up and hugged Rudy tightly.

"You are here!"

'Why is she…' Rudy sharpened his gaze and asked, "Who gave her alcohol?"

The girls averted their gazes when Rudy asked that.

"She is underaged, you freaks."

"She insisted on drinking," Reina responded.

"She will never do that. She is innocent."

"Rudy, she is not as innocent as you think. She just pretends to be innocent in front of you, so you think she is innocent. In your absence, she is just like any other girl," Rias remarked.

Alice rubbed her breasts against Rudy's chest and said, "Rudy! Look~"

She pointed her finger at Rias and said, "There are two Rias and two Jane and two Niti and two Vriti. Isn't that amazing? I wish I also had a twin sister… I wouldn't have to spend my childhood alone after mama died."
