Esper Harem in the Apocalypse
chapter-532

Rudy wanted to use his phone, but obviously, there was no network, and using the internet was impossible. So he couldn't do it while watching videos like old times.

He returned to the house an hour later in a bit of a conflicted mood after what happened with him at school, but he didn't want to think about it. He was simply glad that he didn't have to waste his time releasing ten loads and returned within an hour.

"I should take a bath…" he muttered.

When he returned, Rebecca had woken up, and she was taking a bath. Jessica was still sleeping, so Rudy went to the kitchen and saw his note that said he was going to get something for breakfast.

Initially, he planned to make eggs but changed his mind as they ate the same thing last night. So he left the house and flew to the supermarket.

Luckily, it was open, and the stock was fresh, so he bought a few vegetables and sweets. Then, the milk smell hit his nose, so he bought some milk for the dairy nearby.

After his little shopping, he returned home and made breakfast for three people. Soon after, Rebecca came out of the bathroom and went to her room to get dressed appropriately.

Once Rebecca was done, she came to the kitchen and watched Rudy cook breakfast and make tea.

"I have done everything, but you must keep your eyes on the stove. Can you do that for me? I will take a bath real quick."

Rebecca nodded in agreement and stood in Rudy's spot while Rudy rushed to the bathroom. He first took off his clothes and dipped them in a bucket full of water. Then, he filled the tub with water and took a dip, but he wanted to have a hot bath, so he increased the temperature of the water and enjoyed his hot bath.

Ten minutes later, he emptied the bathtub and filled it again so Jesicca could take a bath if she wanted.

After that, he squeezed the water out of his clothes while increasing the temperature. Eventually, the clothes were completely dried up but horribly wrinkled. So he swiped his hand on them with a high temperature and removed all the wrinkles.

He was ironing his clothes using his hands.

"Never in my wildest dream had I thought that I would use my powers like this."

He got dressed and left the bathroom, acting normal. But Rebecca gave him a weird stare after she saw him in the same clothes.

"Why… would you wear the same clothes after taking a bath?"

"Let's not talk about it."

Rebecca got the breakfast ready and began serving them on the table while Rudy was checking the waterline of the house from inside the house using his abilities.

'I just glanced through them yesterday, but looking at them closely, there are only three pipelines in the house. One to the kitchen, one to the washroom, and one to the bathroom.

That makes sense, but water is not going to be a big issue compared to electricity. One thousand liter water tank might actually last for a week in this house.'

A few minutes later, Jessica woke up and brushed her teeth. But when Rebecca asked her to take a bath as they were going out, she refused and started eating breakfast.

After breakfast, they all left for the shopping.

"Where are we going?" Jessica asked.

"To the mall."

"But there are no malls here."

"I know. And that's why we will be going to the next city."

"Are we going to ride a bus?!" Jessica asked excitedly.

"Indeed."

They went to the bus pick-up stand and waited for the bus to arrive. Once it arrived, they dashed in, and fortunately, it wasn't fully packed.

There was a row of three seats left, and Jessica wanted the window seat, so Rebecca let her sit first. And then Rebecca and Rudy were seated next to her.

They reached the next city a few minutes later and got off at their stand.

'Now… I am not familiar with the locations in this timeline. And the malls I have been to were made in the last decade. I can't use maps on my phone because it doesn't exist yet, so… I guess we will be walking a lot.'

"Where do you girls want to go first?"

"Waterpark! There is a waterpark here! I want to go there!" Jessica jumped in joy.

"Jess, we are here to shop. Not to have fun," Rebecca remarked.

"Oh, no. You girls should enjoy it. And you were also supposed to enjoy the shopping," Rusty shrugged. "Let's go. I will take you to the waterpark."

'I am kind of excited and nervous to go there!'

Rudy took Rebecca and Jessica to the waterpark, and he was surprised to see how crowded it was.

Of course, it was the same water park that was run by Reina's parents.

He bought two tickets and talked with the staff to get in.

"What about you? You are not going to come with us?

"I have something urgent to do. I will be back by noon, okay?" he said calmly.

"Hmm," Jessica and Rebecca nodded.

"There is a separate pool for the kids, so make sure you only go there, okay? Don't go to other pools."

"Okay~!"

"But what about our clothes? We didn't bring an extra."

"I will buy a few pairs for you two when I return."

Jessica was excited, so she didn't care about anything, and Rebecca reluctantly agreed and left for the children's pool.

'Now… time to fix some things.'

On his way out, he saw a little girl trying to walk outside the waterpark's inner area.

"..."

The girl seemed to be a few months over a year old, and her walking was stumbly.

"Uhh… she is not…"

Suddenly, a woman rushed after the girl and grabbed her from behind.

"Come on, Riena~ I take my eyes off you for a second, and you start to explore this water park," the woman said.

That little girl was none other than Reina.

"..."

Rudy locked his eyes with the woman and then with Reina.

"Uwaa!"

Reina started to cry after seeing Rudy and hugged her mother.

"..."

'This feels so so weird. But then again, when I was one year old, Nyxia was already thousands of years old. Rias and Jane were also most likely in their thirties.'
