Esper Harem in the Apocalypse
chapter-719

Rudy pondered for a while to figure out who he was talking to— Angelica or Jessica?

'But how will I find out? If I think about it, Angelica came into existence after Jessica died, which means Angelica can be Jessica, but Jessica can't be Angelica.'

Rudy snapped his fingers and said, "Hey, pervert."

Angelica turned to Rudy while talking with Lilim.

"Hmm?"

Rudy pointed his finger at the jug on the table and said, "Can you get me a glass of water?"

Angelica raised her brow and said, "You can use your telekinesis to get it, right?"

"I can, but I am feeling a little tired after the trip, so I might end up spilling water on the girls. It's better to be cautious, right?" he asked with a shoulder shrug.

Angelica walked to the table and grabbed the jug. She then picked up the glass and began filling it with water.

"Angelica," Rudy called her out.

"Hmm?" Angelica glanced at him.

"Nothing." Rudy smiled slightly and said, "Be careful not to spill it."

"Shut up. If you distract me like that, I will lose focus."

After filling the glass, Angelica took it to Rudy and stood in front of him.

"Thank you." Rudy moved his hand forward to grab the glass.

Angelica also moved her hand, but instead of giving it to Rudy, she drank all the water and handed the empty glass to Rudy.

"Here."

"...."

"You can get on for yourself," she smirked with a grin.

"Looks like you want to be punished."

"Always."

'Yeah, she is Angelica, who was once Jessica. She passed all three tests. Still, transferring one's memories into another… I never thought of doing that. Well, Angelica is the only one who could benefit from that ability.

No one else who needs their past memories… wait…' Rudy pulled his upper lips with his thumb and muttered, "I think I know what the kid Rudy was trying to do."

After I returned from 1990, Rias told me that I had asked her to remind me of something— which I would know when the time comes. That was confusing. Like what, did I set a timer on my memory or something?

As ridiculous as it sounds, that's actually possible. But I don't think that's the case. Since the kid Rudy had the powers, I am sure he has created and mastered the abilities I am not unaware of.

Come to think of it, telepathy and super strength… they were automatically activated after I transmigrated into this body. If I am supposed to be merged with the kid Rudy… I should have gotten his memories, too… but I didn't.

Now I know that the Rudy from this world always had superpowers since birth… and he knew that I would transmigrate to his body… he must have done something to erase those memories.

That would explain the blank memory.

I have already tried to recover those memories multiple times, but it didn't work. Had he sealed those memories, I would have retrieved them, but that's not the case. Either he erased his memories or took them out of his brain.

It's highly unlikely that I would ever erase my memory… even to prevent someone from accessing it. So he must have hidden those memories somewhere safe. I have no idea where… but maybe… one person does.

Nyxia… she has known everything all along. We met in 1989 for the first time, and we were supposed to meet at the vampire academy in 2008. But since the kid Rudy and I shared the memories… he must have contacted her somehow.'

Rudy looked at Angelica and wondered, 'I highly doubt Angelica knows everything. She could provide me some information, but I don't think the kid Rudy would have told her everything about his plan.

It's 'me' we are talking about. He must have expected that Angelica would tell me everything and thus created several backup plans. I can win against any and everything… but winning against myself… Now that's challenging.

Since they broke the perfect loop and created a divergence point in the timeline, the kid Rudy should have become one with the universe. He no longer exists… so, unfortunately, I can't contact him directly.

Nyxia is my only lead, but I can't locate her even with my advanced tracking. Well, she is going nowhere, and neither am I. But I should visit the vampire world once my castle has been renovated.'

Angelica gave Rudy's phone to him and said, "Here. It's almost out of charge."

"..." Rudy gave her a stare without saying a word.

Angelica stretched her arms in the air while yawning and went inside Rudy's body.

'I will sleep now. Good night. Also, I don't like white hair, so make them black later. I don't want to be called a cheap copy of Jane.'

Now, only Rudy and Lilim were awake in the pool house.

"We should go someplace alone," Lilim suggested.

"And we shall. But first, I need to check up on Reina. See you at the pools."

After saying that, Rudy teleported to Reina's office, while Lilim decided to walk there as she wanted to give some alone time to Rudy and Reina.

Reina wasn't in her office, so Rudy activated his vision ability and found her by the pools. She was watering the plants.

Rudy quietly teleported behind her.

'Man, the smell of wet soil always gets me.'

Rudy hugged Reina from behind and squeezed her body.

"You are back."

"Yup."

She turned her face to the side to look at Rudy and asked, "Did you find the house you were looking for?"

"I did. I got us a castle."

"A castle?!"

"Yesh."

"How did you manage to find a castle in this era? And is it safe? Most castles need heavy renovation, and they are not safe to live in."

"Stop worrying about all that."

Reina leaned on Rudy and said, "Your hands are cold."

Rudy moved his hand up under Reina's top and squeezed her care breasts.

"This will make them hot."

"Mnh~"

Rudy kissed her on the neck and whispered, "Want to have some fun?"

"I have to open the waterpark soon, so no. Drop by later in the evening if you want me."

He kissed her on the lips and said, "Alright. See you later, then."

Once Lilim had arrived, he teleported to his room.

Thanks @Daraekin for the generous gifts!
