Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

When Rudy looked at the amount of vegetables Rebecca had cut, he realized at first glance that she was making dinner for three people with only two eggs.

"Too many vegetables for only two eggs. Let's see… what else did she buy?"

Rudy looked through the bag and muttered, "Bread with eggs? Not the best dish to eat for dinner. Although I used to eat it a lot when I was a kid. Hmm~ she did buy a fistful of rice."

Rudy stared at the ingredients for a while and nodded, "Alright, let's do this."

'There is no gas line, so I wonder what mom was going to use for cooking on. Wait… is that a coal stove? Don't tell me she cooks food on that…'

Rudy grabbed the coal stove that was hidden behind the shelf and placed it on the platform. He looked inside the coals and muttered, "Not enough coals."

He copy-pasted a few coals and lit them up after placing a pan on the stove and adding some oil to it.

"Let's take care of the rest while it's heating up."

He duplicated the eggs, vegetables, bread, rice, and all the ingredients for later purposes. After preparing everything, he put the dish on the stove to get cooked.

Then, he walked to the main power grid of the house and checked if the wiring was still intact in the house. To check it, he first released a little bit of electricity and turned on the light switch.

'Hmm, it seems to be working.'

Rudy raised his hands to his stomach and focused on conjuring something.

'It should work since it sounds simple.'

A few seconds later, Rudy successfully created battery storage out of thin air. However, it was the same battery storage he had copypasted when the vampire gang moved in.

"Nice. So I can create things I have duplicated. What should I name this ability? Clipboard Conjuring? The name itself is self-explanatory."

Rudy filled the battery with electricity and connected it to the main power grid of the house. Then, he made ten more batteries and filled them up with electricity before connecting them to the first battery.

'I have no idea how long these batteries will last. But I will have to find another solution for this soon.'

Rudy checked all the electric devices to confirm they were working fine. Then, he cleaned the refrigerator and filled it with the ingredients he had copied.

"Vegetables and other ingredients last for a long time as long as you keep them refrigerated. But I can't do the same with bread and eggs. Eggs will most likely last for six weeks as long as they are adequately refrigerated.

I can put them in the freezer so they could last for a few months, but that would drain up more electricity. And to be honest, buying new eggs every week would still cost a lot less than wasting electricity for the freezer. Over a long time, of course."

Rudy checked the food and put the stove on low by putting out the fire from a few coals.

"Electricity, check. Now time for the waterline."

Rudy climbed onto the house to check the water tank, but unfortunately, it was in poor condition.

"I will buy a new one. And a bigger one. And…" He checked the waterline connected to the water tank and muttered, "I think it would be okay to connect it to the well. But what about the pressure? It would need high pressure so the water can climb up and fill the tank.

I can use the motor, yeah. Hmm~" He nodded and mumbled, "So, I will have to buy a new and bigger water tank, a motor, and a solar panel for the electricity. What else can I buy to make their life easier?

Maybe more electric appliances… no, that would just increase the load of electricity. There are enough lights in the house and fans too. As for the gas line, I can just buy an electric stove. Problem solved!"

Rudy wanted to leave for shopping, but he heard Rebecca shouting, so he jumped down and pretended as though he had just entered the house.

"What's up? Why are you yelling?" Rudy asked.

"What happened all of a sudden?! The refrigerator is filled! And the electricity is back! What did you do?!" Rebecca asked with a baffled look on her face.

"I told you right, your father has sent me here to help you girls out. What's so surprising about it?"

"But… why would you use your money on us?"

"Oh, no. That was the money given by your father."

"Did he…?"

"Yes. I have put the rest of the money in the drawer under the platform."

"...!" Rebecca immediately rushed there to check and closed the drawer as soon as she saw a big bundle.

"I don't think I need to tell you this, but use them wisely."

"How did father get so much money? Is he okay?! Why has he not visited us for the last few months?!"

'Well, I don't know where he is, and I don't care. I have no respect for someone who can't be there for their children. However, he might be somewhere, working hard or something, so I shouldn't judge him yet.'

"Yes," Rudy nodded. "He is just busy. He recently got promoted, which increased his work hours, so he had little to no time to leave. He is now the manager, so he needs to look out for everyone. And if you don't believe me, the money is the proof."

"I guess… you don't seem to be lying."

'So it is safe to assume that there is no phone in the house? Otherwise, they could have called him. No, I would have called him to know his whereabouts.'

"Anyway, let's eat."

"Yay!" Jessica rushed towards Rudy and hugged his legs. "Thank you, Rupert!."

"My name is Robert."

"Yes. Ropert."contemporary romance

"It's Robert."

They all ate together, and Rudy couldn't help but be grateful to get a chance to eat them and see the happy smiles on their faces.

"It's the weekend tomorrow, so you two don't have school, right?" Rudy asked them.

Both of them shook their heads in response as their mouths were filled with food.

"So hurry up and get to bed. We will be going shopping tomorrow!"
