Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Rudy turned to Elena and asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know. I was helping Jessica swim, and I felt my top got loose, so I checked and realized that the lace was missing," Elena said while covering her chest and grabbing her top.

"When did it happen?"

"Around two minutes ago?"

'I can't use restoration.'

Rudy hugged Rebecca and teleported to the bathroom of his house.

"....!"

"Why… why did you use your powers in front of everyone?!" Elena shouted in panic.

"I don't care if someone sees me. You are more important to me. And even if someone saw me, it's not like anyone would believe them if they told someone. I doubt someone was recording, and even if they did, here is no internet or anything to spread that clip," Rudy retorted.

"But Rebecca and Jessica… they saw you."

"That's fine. I was planning to tell them about my powers sooner or later, although it sucks that they will have to find out about it in the least interesting way."

Rudy filled the bathtub with water and said, "Anyway, stop thinking about anything else. Go take a dip in freshwater. I will bring the girls here."

"..." Elena hugged Rudy and muttered, "I am sorry. If only I had paid more attention to my…"

Rudy checked Elena's top and confirmed that the lace was missing.

'I see….'

Rudy teleported to Rias as he knew that Rebecca and Jessica would have rushed to Rias after witnessing Rudy and Elena disappear.

"Rudy!" Jessica hugged Rudy and said, "I thought you drowned!"

Rudy touched Rebecca and Rias and teleported to the house.

"Wha—!" Jessica ran around the living room and said, "It's our house!"

While Jessica was excited and didn't care about anything else, Rebecca was surprised and confused.

She glanced around and looked at Rudy to ask him what had just happened, but she changed her mind after seeing the look on Rudy's face.

"Is everything okay?" Rias asked Rudy in a calm voice.

"I will be right back." After saying that, Rudy teleported to the beach again.

He activated his vision ability to find the person he was looking for.

'The cut on Elena's top wasn't a defective product. It was cut here. Someone must have done that when they were swimming, and I need to find out who.'

He slowly scanned each and every person to see who was carrying scissors or a cutter that could cut cloth, but Rudy couldn't find one.

'Let's think about it from another perspective. If it was me who had cut the lace, what would I do? Would I stay around and watch the girl getting shamed in public and enjoy the show?

But why would someone do that in the first place? What would they get by humiliating an unknown person? Unless they had a bigger plan.

Thinking forward, what would a girl do after her top slipped? She would find her top, obviously. But if too many people were watching her, she would be too embarrassed to stay there and run away.

However, where would she run? To grab something to cover her body, of course. If she was with someone, like her friends or lover, she would go to them and ask for something to wear.

Still, it's not like they would be carrying an extra pair with them. And even if they did, they would keep it in a bag, which they wouldn't carry around. So the girl would go to the locker room for two possibilities but for the same reason.

Let's say she was alone, so she would go to the locker room to get the clothes she originally wore before changing. Same reason if she was with someone else.

Now, what are the chances that whoever cut the lace was waiting for the girl to arrive in the locker room or changing room to do the unspeakable with her? I know I am stretching it too far, but that's how I am.'

Rudy's habit of overthinking on every matter was helping him understand and find every slight possibility. And this time, he thought everything with a criminal's mindset.

Had he ever decided to become evil, or even if he never had his superpowers, his habit of overthinking wouldn't have changed. He would have become the most wanted criminal in the world.

Meanwhile, in the girl's changing room. There were lockers on the right and changing spots covered by curtains on the left.

Two boys who looked teenagers were hiding behind the curtain of the farthest changing spot, and they were wearing long hair wigs to pretend to be female. They had gotten in using a broken entry on the backside that was connected to the men's changing room.

But the broken entry seemed old, and it was hidden behind the mirror, which was also two-sided. Men and women shared the same mirror from both ends, although the other side was not visible from either side.

"Are you sure she will come here?" one boy asked.

"Yes. It always works, doesn't it?" the other boy answered.

"But what if she wasn't alone?"

"Doesn't matter. She should come to change her clothes here."

"What if she goes to the spot next to us?"

"She won't. I was watching when she came here; her locker is right in front of this spot. So naturally, she would choose this spot to change her clothes."

"Should we hide in the men's changing room now? It would be messy if she saw her."

"Not now. Just keep an eye on the entrance, and if you see any shadows, let me know. We already have our men in the men's changing room to make sure someone else doesn't take the spot."

The first boy rubbed his hand while licking his lips and said, "I can't wait. Why hasn't she come yet!"

"Patience, bro, patience. Her body was so sexy. Our patience will be rewarded when we knock her out. You have the napkin ready, right?"

"Yes." The boy showed the napkin drenched in some liquid and said, "I added more chloroform this time. The last girl had woken up in a few hours and started yelling. We have to make sure the same thing doesn't happen again."

"Yes. I will make sure the same thing doesn't happen again," Rudy asserted in a lifeless voice.
