Esper Harem in the Apocalypsechapter 32: my ghost girl

Rudy stared at the demolished house for a few seconds until Angelica brought him back to his senses by yelling in his ears.

"I think we are at the wrong address," she said.

"No." Rudy shook his head and said, "This is the 9th house of the sixth block in 69th street. We are at the correct address."

"So why is it demolished?" Angelica asked with a curious look on her face.

"According to Rize, we broke up because she was going to move out. Maybe that's why?"

"But why would someone demolish a house?"

Rudy glanced around and saw an elderly woman who looked to be in her late 80 peeking through the window of the neighboring house.

"The best way to know is to ask the neighbors."

Rudy walked over to the old lady's house and rang the doorbell.

The old lady didn't open the door, but she replied from the window.

"What do you want?!" she yelled.

"Uhh... I want to know about the people who lived next door," Rudy said in a calm voice.

She closed the window and shouted, "Go home!"

Rudy could feel the anger from the old lady's voice. But he assumed she was angsty because he disturbed her at night.

He didn't want to make her more angry, so he left. But after a while, the old lady came back and opened the window.

She stared at Rudy but didn't say anything.

"Umm… hello?" Rudy greeted awkwardly.

"What is your name?" the old lady asked in a calm voice as though her anger had suddenly vanished.

"Rudy," Rudy replied with a smile.

"That's a weird name," the old lady remarked. "What's your family name?"

"Well… I don't have one…"

For some reason, Rudy never had a family name. Even in his past life, he didn't have a family name until his mother married her co-worker.

"What's the name of your old man?" the old lady asked in a little annoyed tone. She thought Rudy was lying to her.

'Why is she taking my interview?' Rudy sighed. 'I shouldn't have approached her.'

"I will tell you if you answer my question first," Rudy said with a forced smile.

He was still a young adult from the inside, so he knew how to handle people of all kinds.

The old lady squinted her eyes and glared at Rudy after hearing that.

"Your face makes me angry for some reason," she commented. "It reminds me of that annoying old man. What was his name… Ostwald?"

"Never heard of him." Rudy took a deep breath and said, "You look like my grandmother. She passed away when I was a kid."

"Oh… my dear child…" the old lady said in a low voice. "I will tell you what you want to know."

However, Rudy was lying. He had never met or even seen his grandmother. In fact, he has never ever encountered or heard of any of his relatives, not even in his past life.

'I feel bad for lying, but I have to do what I have to do,' Rudy sighed. He pointed his finger at the demolished house and said, "I want to know about the people who used to live there."

"This house was demolished a month ago, but it has been abandoned for 60 years. It belonged to my best friend from high school who disappeared one day under the red moon," the old lady said with a distant smile on her face.

"..." Rudy facepalmed himself and thought, 'What's going on?'

The old lady turned to Rudy and asked, "Why did you want to know that?"

"Ah, I think I came to the wrong address. I will leave now."

"Be careful." The old lady closed the window after saying, "Mysterious beings roam at night."

"...."

Rudy walked to the demolished house and glanced around to find some clue, but all he could see were bricks and marbles.

Angelica pulled Rudy's sleeves and said, "What did that old lady mean by mysterious beings?"

"I don't know." Rudy shrugged. "Maybe ghosts?"

Angelica trembled after hearing that and hugged Rudy's arms.

Confused, Rudy raised his brows and asked, "What… happened?"

"Don't mention ghosts! They are scary!"

"But you are a ghost too…"

"Oh!" Angelica gasped and let go of Rudy's arms. "I have been so lively lately that I felt like I was alive."

"..."

She hugged Rudy and said, "I am really grateful that you saved me."

"What's with the sudden love?" Rudy scoffed. "And I am the one who is glad to meet you."

"..." Angelica didn't say anything and kept hugging Rudy.

"You know, when I first ran into you in the tunnel, I thought you were a passerby like me. So I called you, but you didn't respond. Then after a while, I found you following me. I was honestly creeped out, but I kept myself positive and kept walking. And before I had realized, you had stopped following me."

"I know…"

"I am saying this because…" Rudy paused. "If... I knew that it was a haunted tunnel, and you were a ghost, I wouldn't have entered the tunnel or talked to you."

"You are lying." Angelica hugged Rudy tighter and said, "You came back to the tunnel even after knowing it was haunted. You came back to me even after knowing I was a ghost. You saved me. You are my hero, my savior, my master, and now I want you to be my lover."

"..."

Angelica looked into Rudy's eyes with her teary eyes and said in a calm yet solemn voice: "Can I be your first harem member?"

Rudy kissed Angelica on the lips and said, "I thought you already were one."

"I love you!" Angelica smiled and kissed Rudy back. She hugged him and said, "I love you so so much!"

Rudy hugged her back and said, "I love you too."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure you are not saying it to make me feel good?" she asked with a judging look on her face.

Rudy squeezed Angelica's breasts and said, "I would rather do something else to make you feel good."

He looked into her eyes and said, "Of course, I love you, my ghost girl."

"Then…" Angelica moved her face close to Rudy's ears and said, "Fuck me."
