Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

1037  What's Wrong With Alice?

Rudy couldn't stop thinking about various things, including the changes and differences he could compare after having the memories of multiple variants of the same world.

He was on his way to Alice's house, walking instead of flying or teleporting, since he was early and there was no need to hurry. "So Alice and I are now dating, but apparently I have another girlfriend whom I haven't met yet. I don't know who it is and I can't ask anyone or it would sound ridiculous. Nonetheless, Alice still agreed to go out with me. That doesn't sit right with me. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Alice is a kind of girl who would let harm fall on herself rather than herself. The motto of her life was to do good and expect good from others. So why would a girl like her confess her feelings to me and date me? Why would she want me to cheat on my so-called girlfriend?"

After reaching Alice's house, he rang the doorbell and waited for a response. After a few seconds, George opened the door and smiled a bit after seeing Rudy.

"Oh, what's up?" George asked.

Rudy squinted his eyes a little and thought, 'He is acting strangely normal.'

"I am here to pick Alice for the school," Rudy replied casually.

With a puzzled look on his face, George responded, "Uhh… I am certain she already left for school a few minutes ago."

"As soon as she heard the doorbell, she hurriedly left the house. I thought that was you, but now I am not sure."

"Oh, I see."

"I will check her room just in case. Wait here."

Rudy used his supervision and scanned the house, but after confirming that Alice wasn't there, he left without waiting for George to return.

"Where the hell did she go?" he wondered.

He teleported to his usual spot in the school— the washroom, and went straight to his classroom, ignoring the greetings he received on the way.

He wanted to ask Alice why she had left early, and more importantly, with whom. However, when he looked into the classroom, Alice wasn't there.

'What the fuck?!'

"I should have put that tracking spell on her," he muttered. "No, that's a little too much. Since when did I become so controlling? This usually happens when people newly start dating, but I have five years of experience! I shouldn't have such insecure thoughts."

Rudy calmed himself down and sat in his seat.

After a few minutes, his ears twitched as he heard Alice's voice from far away. She glanced around but didn't see her in the room, so he activated his supervision and scanned the entire school.

He saw that Alice was walking through the school gate together with none other than Eric. Right behind them was Janet.

"Uhh… before this insecure 17-year-old mind overthink and jumps to conclusion, I will guess what happened," he mumbled. "It was Janet who went to Alice's house, and they left for school together. And they met Eric… either on their way to school or the school gate. Obviously, people would run into each other when their destination is the same."

Alice shortly entered the classroom with Eric and Janet, and they all took their respective seats. Alice to his right, Eric to his left and Janet in front of him.

As soon as they sat in their seats, Rudy greeted them with a good morning.

Janet turned her head slightly back and responded, "Good morning."

"Morning, my man!" Eric greeted Rudy passionately. "You are too busy to hang out with your bro, but you have got a lot of time when it comes to hanging out with girls, huh?"

'Is he talking about the water park trip I went on with Janet and Alice?' Rudy wondered.

"You asshole! It was you who was busy! You didn't even talk to me for a full ten seconds when I had called you!" Rudy responded with the same energy.

"Duh! I am famous! Like a celebrity! I have so many things to do, so of course I am busy!" Eric grinned.

"And you expect me to be free for you?" Rudy raised a brow. "Excuse me, mister, but you gotta have to get an appointment if you want to talk to me. I myself am somewhat popular, you see."

'I don't know how or why, but it seems that I don't just get the memories of the girls I have been with, but also mutual things around us. After kissing Alice, I also remembered a bit about Eric and Janet of the past Worldline. Janet was mostly the same as before, although she has changed a lot in this one.

She is friends with Alice and me already.

However, the interesting case here is Eric. In the previous two world-lines, which were normal and completely devoid of any form of monsters and magic, Eric was a normal high school boy. However, in this one, there is a system, magic, and monsters.

Things went differently with Eric, and he became a hero. He is currently in the top 100 strongest heroes in the entire world. Not only that, but he is the youngest top 100th hero, right below Erika.

Eric had earned a fortune during the apocalypse, but he donated most of his earnings to help the victims of the apocalypse. Now that the apocalypse has strangely ended, the hero organization is steadily declining due to the lack of monsters.

The only reason it's still up and running is because there are still millions of monsters roaming around in the world and they need heroes to get rid of them.'

Rudy let out a short sigh and grabbed his head, facing his desk.

'Leaving everything aside, what's up with Alice?' He shot a quick glance at her.

When Rudy greeted them with a good morning, only Eric and Janet had responded. Alice completely ignored Rudy and his greetings.

'Is she angry with me?' Rudy wondered. 'I don't remember doing anything that would anger her. Sure, we didn't talk after the… going out thing, but that was because I spent the entire time sleeping since my head kept feeling like it was going to explode.

And Alice is not the type of girl to fret over such things. If something was troubling her, she would have told me.'

SIGH!

Rudy felt bored at school as he had already graduated from school and university and he didn't want to attend the school again, no matter how much he had missed it. Now, Rudy had a mission. Mission— Find out what was wrong with Alice and how to make up with her.
