Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 8 - Death Flags



Ability- Seeing through.

Rudy could see through anything if he stared at something for more than 10 seconds.

When Rudy moved his gaze at the fridge and stared at it for 10 seconds, he could see the contents inside, although it was empty with only one half-eaten leftover dish.

'Why does an ability like this even exist?!' Rudy exclaimed inwardly. 'It's wrong on so many levels.'

'With this ability, I can see anyone naked body if I want to…' An evil thought crossed Rudy's mind, but he shook his head and looked at Reina, who was confused after looking at Rudy.

'What's wrong?' Reina asked with a concerned look on her face.

"It's nothing. Let's finish the juice and go back to work," Rudy uttered. "You are going to open this place tomorrow, right?"

Reina nodded with a wry smile on her face and muttered, "I hope everything goes well."

Rudy wanted to say something to comfort Reina, but he averted his gaze because he could see Reina's naked body.

'Wait…' Rudy furrowed his brows and thought, 'I can see through anything if I stared at it for more than 10 seconds. So does that mean I was staring at Reina the whole time?!'

'No, no, no. Why would I stare at her…' Rudy once again found himself staring at Reina. 'Okay. I admit that she looks hot, but… no, Rudy, you cannot stare at naked girls! You are going to get a cute girlfriend after two years.'

'If I can somehow—' Rudy felt something hitting his pants, and when he looked down, he saw something was erect.

'Why do I have a boner?!'

In his previous life, Rudy spent his puberty and teenage years studying like a madman. He never got a chance to enjoy his life until he met his girlfriend, who changed him and his life.

However, right now, he was in a teenage body, where hormones ran wild. It was natural for any normal teenager to get a boner after seeing a naked girl. Here, Rudy even knew the pleasure of stepping into adulthood. His hormones were reacting to his feelings and emotions, making a mess out of his thinking.

Rudy closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

'I have got this. This is not the first time I have gotten a boner, and this is surely not the last time. I can abstain. I will just have to avoid looking at Reina for more than 10 seconds and do my work. Once I am done, I will get 2000$, and we both will go our separate ways.'

Are you sure about that, mister Rudy?

"How much did the taxi cost you to come here from the next city?" Reina asked. "I want to go there to buy some household things, so I was wondering if it could fit in my budget."

"I am not sure. I walked my way here," Rudy replied honestly.

"What?!" Reina exclaimed. "You walked 20 kilometers?!"

"No, it was less. I came through the tunnel."

Reina's face turned pale after hearing that. "Wh-which… tunnel?"

"The one which is abandoned," Rudy answered.

Reina slammed her hands on the table and shouted, "Are you out of your mind!"

"What's wrong?" Rudy nearly jumped off the chair.

"That tunnel is abandoned for a reason, you know?"

"What reason…?"

"It is haunted!"

"Pfft!" Rudy scoffed and laughed out loud. "I am sorry, but I don't believe in—"

At the same time, Reina said, "There have been hundreds of sightings of a girl wearing a school uniform with a pale face and disturbing walking style."

After hearing that, Rudy remembered his encounter with a similar girl.

"You are… kidding… right?" Rudy stammered on his words.

"I am not. You can check it on the internet if you want." Reina sat back on her chair and uttered, "Seriously, how do you not know about the tunnel?"

'That's because no such tunnel existed in my time.' After pondering for a while. Rudy wondered, 'Could it be that I am in another world?'

Rudy shrugged off the possibility and thought, 'That's not possible. Maybe I simply wasn't aware of such a tunnel in my previous life?'

"There is also a rumor that if you try to talk to the girl, she eats your soul," Reina asserted.

"...." Rudy started sweating after hearing that.

"There is also a rumor that if the girl follows you, she will possess you and kill you," Reina added.

After hearing that, Rudy gulped down in fear and thought to himself: 'I just died a couple of hours ago. I don't want to die again."

"There is also this rumor where—"

"Enough about the rumors! Let's go back to cleaning."

Rudy had not only tried to talk to the girl, but she also followed him. He now had two death flags on him.

Rudy and Reina cleaned all the ground area in the next three hours.

Of course, Rudy could have cleaned it in much less time, but he couldn't focus after hearing about the ghost girl.

When he tried to use telekinesis, he ended up pulling out a couple of tiles.

After cleaning the ground area, Rudy went to the upper compartments to wash them rides while Reina cleaned the stairs.

===

Author's Note- I want to clarify that Rudy won't even think about any other girl than his GF for the first couple of chapters. This might sound stupid, but he is still mentally an adult. He has morals, and he knows what is right and what is wrong. He won't use his powers to do bad things or commit crimes.

However, things will change. His first priority is to get rich. Just be patient until chapter 20 or so, where he will think about harem and start romancing with them girls. (of course, he will also make lemon juice.)
