Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1018  Otherworldly Water park

KNOCK~ KNOCK!

Rudy knocked on the door even though there was a doorbell.

A few seconds later, Alice's father— George, opened the door with a judging expression on his face.

"Oh, Rudy. Alice was expecting you." George then looked at Janet and continued, "And you must be Janet."

"Was?" Rudy raised his brows as he stepped inside without George moving aside to make a way for them. "Where is she now?"

"She is in her room. She got tired of waiting for you so she went to her room to grab her phone that was plugged in."

RING~ RING!

Rudy's phone rang.

"It must be her."

Rudy picked up Alice's call and greeted her normally.

[Hey! Where are you!] Rudy could sense the frustration in Alice's voice.

"I am at home, why?"

[What?! Did you forget we were supposed to go to the pool today?!]

"I didn't. Come downstairs. I am chatting with George."

[Oh… so it was you. Okay, wait for five minutes. I will be there.]

After saying that, she hung up the call.

'Are we not getting late now?' Rudy asked himself and let out a soft sigh.

George asked Rudy and Janet to sit on the couch while he went to grab water for them.

"Would you like to drink something specific?" George asked as he handed them the glass full of water.

"No, I just had breakfast," Rudy responded before taking a sip.

Janet took a sip and shook her head in response.

George sat with them and asked how they were doing in school.Rather than answering, Rudy asked, "How's your job going?"

George froze for a second before casually replying, "I would rather not talk about it."

"Wait, what do you do again?" Rudy asked George with a curious look on his face. "I can't recall what kind of job you do."

"It's a..umm… complex job. I doubt you would understand it."

"Oh, try me," Rudy said confidently with a smile on his face.

A few seconds later, Alice came downstairs and greeted Rudy and Janet.

"You are late," said Alice.

"We were on time. You are the one who is late," Janet retorted.

"I don't count. This is my house so I can never be late at my house."

'If I let them continue talking, they will waste an hour. I should interrupt them and get them out of here,' Rudy thought to himself.

Rudy got up from his seat and turned to George, "Shall we go? They can talk in the car."

George nodded, "Alice, lock the house. I will take the car out of the garage."

Five minutes later, everything was settled. George was driving the car and Rudy was sitting beside him on the passenger's seat. Alice and Janet were sitting on the backseat and they wouldn't stop talking.

George turned on the radio and Rudy increased the volume to detach himself from the world and become lost in the songs.

They reached the waterpark after a little more than thirty minutes.

"We are finally here!" Alice and Janet rushed out of the car the moment it stopped.

Rudyalso got out of the car and closed the door gently. He looked at the entrance of the waterpark and furrowed his brows.

'What the hell? There wasn't something like this in the other worldline. When Alice said it's a waterpark, I assumed it would just be a regular pool, which is always crowded because it's small. But… damn.'

"Hey, Rudy." Rudy was about to leave but George called him out.

"Hmm?"

"I know you don't need this, but take care of Alice."

"Don't worry. She is in safe hands."

George drove off, leaving Rudy wondering why George was glaring at him as if he was about to kill him.

"He acted normally and his facial expressions were friendly. However, his eyes… he couldn't hide the emotions in his eyes."

Rudy was unsure of what to think about it. Perhaps, it was something work related that made George furious. Maybe George didn't want to seem unfriendly to Janet and Rudy, which is why he chose to conceal his emotions that were directed to something else.

"Well, as long as he didn't put his emotions in his words and actions, it's fine," He muttered. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Hey~!" Alice called out to Rudy, while Janet was preparing to throw a pebble at him which she had picked up from the garden near the entrance of the water park.

When Rudy noticed the pebble in Janet's hand, he raised his brows and remarked, "Always so barbaric. And then she wants to act cute and look beautiful with the power of makeup."

"I wasn't going to throw it directly at you! I was going to miss on purpose!" Janet hissed and threw the pebble at him anyway.

Although she missed, it wasn't on purpose.

"Heh!" Rudy sneered and joined the girls.

"Who has the tickets?" Rudy asked as they walked through the entry.

Alice handed them the tickets and after being scanned, they were allowed to step in. They walked a few steps and finally entered the main area of the waterpark.

The heart of the water park, the pools.

The water park sprawled out like a water wonderland, teasing the thrill-seekers with the promise of aquatic excitement. The pools were weaving together a tapestry of experiences. The Chill Zone had bathers lazily floating, oblivious to the world, while the Volcano Plunge erupted with the shouts and splashes of the bravest souls.

Meanwhile, the Tsunami Tides were roaring, delivering wave after thrilling wave to the eager swimmers.Over by the VIP Splash Lair, the chosen few reveled in luxury, a sanctuary of cool amid the watery chaos.

Rides and slides, seemingly from another dimension, dotted the landscape. The Galaxy Gusher was spiraling through neon-lit tunnels, offering a disorienting descent. Meanwhile, the Quantum Splash wove water and light into a surreal dance, leaving those who dared it breathless.

Unworldly rides dominated the skyline, drawing gasps and cheers. The Black Hole Whirlpool, a dark vortex, swallowed the brave-hearted, and the Warp Speed Rapids whisked riders away on a breakneck journey. Tears were left behind in the splash zone, forgotten in the wake of adrenaline.

The sheer amount of people present in the park were incomprehensible.

"Holy shit!"

'How the hell did the management pull this off? There could be more than ten thousand people. Even with twelve pools, the number of people is too much. I am curious to… wait, twelve pools? How do I know there are twelve pools?'

"The park is crowded. Look at the rides!" Janet groaned as she continued, "The waiting line is longer than the slide itself."

"Is that legal?" Alice wondered. "Aren't there capacities set according to the rules and regulations?"

"If you girls are feeling uncomfortable, we can leave. Also, I don't think the crowd would become any less. The park just opened an hour ago and the people would keep coming in."

"There is a reserved pool in the park. Maybe we can go there?" Alice suggested.

'The cost of the reserved pool would be ridiculous. But Alice is right. I can't let Janet and Alice wear swimsuits in such a crowded place. I will talk with the manager first, I can use my powers to hypnotize them or something.'

When Rudy was out practicing his powers, someone had seen him flying. In panic, Rudy learned to hypnotize and made the person forget everything.

"You two, wait here. I will be back in a few minutes."

Rudy glanced around to search for the office and spotted it around the corner.

He knocked on the door and entered the office, only to find it empty.

'Looks like the manager is out.'

Rudy looked at the desk and read the name of the manager.

"Reina Iyuk."

"Yes?" A female voice replied from the doorway.
