”Of course.”

”But you should be careful,” the old man added.

”Of?”

”The evil spirits. They feed on the negative emotions of people like you to get stronger. They bring bad luck to you. They eventually possess you at your weakest point and overwhelm you in every way possible.”

”Thanks for the heads up. You should tell them to be careful and not cross their paths with me,” he said with a blank expression on his face.

The old man pointed his finger at Rudy and said, “Currently, there is an evil spirit inside you.”

Rudy frowned his face and said, “She is not evil.”

”We know better.”

”Even if she is, I don’t give a **!”

”You should worry. You are emotionally vulnerable. Your old wounds are deep and will never heal until you meet the person you are seeking. Are you confident that you will be able to endure everything until the time that comes ahead?” the old man asked calmly.

”Whatever it may be.” Rudy gritted his teeth and said, “Once I have accepted someone as mine, I am never letting them go. I already did that once, and I don’t have the courage to do it again. And the evil you speak of; what is the evil for you, exactly?”

Rudy asked with a penetrating gaze.

The old man stayed silent and glanced at the other ghosts around Rudy.

”I don’t think there is an answer to that. But whatever you may do or choose to do, never tell the cause of death to the spirit inside you. I am saying this for your own good.”

”Do you know something about who killed her?” Rudy asked curiously.

”No. But I am sure it wasn’t pleasant considering the rage and hatred the spirit has inside her.”

”You should worry more about the rage and hatred I have for whoever killed her.”

”…”

”Well, then. I will be leaving. Let’s not meet again.”

Rudy teleported near his house and waited for Rebecca to walk in. After waiting for a few minutes, Rebecca entered the house and closed the door.

Rudy waited for a few seconds before going in as it could become suspicious.

When he entered the house, he saw Rebecca entering her room.

’No, you won’t!’

Rudy immediately rushed towards Rebecca’s room as there were chances that she would never open the door again until night. And then he wouldn’t get a chance to talk to her.

”Wait a minute,” he said.

Rebecca turned around after hearing Rudy’s voice and rushed into the room. She grabbed the door and tried to close it, but Rudy managed to overpower her effortlessly and entered the room after her.

”What do you think you are doing?!” Rebecca yelled. “Barging into my room like—”

She stopped when she saw the serious look on Rudy’s face.

”We need to talk.”

”No, we don’t.” Rebecca walked out of the room and acted like normal, but she was hiding her embarrassment behind her straight face.

Rudy followed her while saying, “Mom. Come on, you know what I am…”

While Rudy was speaking calmly, Rebecca suddenly started running.

”…”

”Alright. If that’s how you want to play.” Rudy chased after Rebecca in the house, but of course, she ran at normal speed.

”Stop chasing me!” she hissed.

”Then stop running!”

Rebbecca first went to the kitchen and ran around the dining table before rushing towards the living room. Rudy could have easily grabbed her if he wanted to, but he wanted Rebecca to stop at her own will. Otherwise, she wouldn’t listen to him.

After running around for a few minutes, Rebecca had gotten tired, and her speed decreased.

”Stop chasing me!” she yelled.

Rebecca tilted her head to the side to look at Rudy without paying attention to her front. She tripped on the carpet and fell flat on the floor, or she would have had Rudy not grabbed her and taken the damage.

There were too many new things in the house, and while they were arranged properly, it was still risky if someone fell down and hit their head.

Rudy swiftly grabbed Rebecca and carefully dogged all the things before falling to the ground with Rebecca on top of him.

THUD!

Rebecca’s body was pressed against Rudy, and instead of pain, he felt pleasure. They both looked into each other’s eyes before realizing their current situation.

Rebecca’s breasts were completely squeezed by Rudy’s hands, and their faces touched each other. Rebecca’s lips were so close to Rudy’s lips that if she moved even a little, she would end up kissing him.

Of course, Rebecca’s face flushed red like never before. It was natural, after all, she was in such a humiliating state that she couldn’t even escape.

However, Rudy also felt embarrassed. He gulped down nervously and looked into Rebecca’s eyes.

’What the ** is going on!’ he yelled inwardly.

Rudy knew Rebecca wouldn’t be able to move for obvious reasons, so the only option was for him to move. However, since Rebecca was on top of him, he couldn’t move.

His hands were squeezing Rebecca’s breasts, and with every little movement, his grip was getting tighter as he was also grabbing Rebecca’s body from there. If he let go of them, she would fall on him, and they would end up kissing in the most awkward way possible.

’What should I do?’ he asked himself. ‘If I try to move, mom will fall on me, and even if I don’t, she will fall on me. And my hands are… so soft…! No! No! Rudy! What are you doing?! You need to do something, but what?! Even if I try to push her on the side, I will have to push her by squeezing her breasts harder.’

At that time, Rudy had forgotten that he was an esper with any power possible. If he wanted, he would have moved Rebecca even without touching her. But alas, he was enjoying the life of a teenager.
