Esper X Family – Chapter 140 – Cat, I Like it!

Fang Tang didn’t panic immediately.

Because she saw the “human” she had been longing for.

“Human, are we dreaming again? What kind of dream is this? Who are these people?”

Fang Tang sat up from the ground, looking around her surroundings with some confusion.

It was reasonable to think that it was a dream.

After all, she had never left that room before.

Only in dreams would she appear in new places.

“No, this isn’t a dream. I’ve brought you out of that place.”

“Huh?”

Fang Tang, who had been a little dazed, suddenly perked up.

“I’ve left that place? I don’t have to go back?”

“Mm, that’s right.”

Ye Yao nodded in confirmation.

“You can shout ‘No more cages! ¹ Sylas’s pick voiceline in League of Legends. ’ and I won’t laugh at you.”

“Human, how did I get out?”

Fang Tang seemed very concerned about this question.

Ye Yao glanced at her thoughts.

【Fang Tang is worried that the people who had been taking care of her will be concerned if she disappeared.

Although her daily life is boring, she clearly know that she is being protected.

While she claimed to dislike it, deep down, she still feels a hint of gratitude.】

“Don’t worry, they gave you to me. From now on, we’ll be the ones taking care of you.”

Ye Yao lied with a straight face.

“Really?”

Fang Tang was somewhat convinced.

Human didn’t seem like someone who’d lie.

Last time, she had said that she would come find her, and now she really had.

“Of course it’s true. This is a transfer of custody!

Reаⅾ оո KаtReαԁіոgСаfе

You’re free to go out and play with us.

Or do you want to go back to that room where you couldn’t leave?”

Ye Yao countered.

Fang Tang shook her head like a rattle drum.

“No, I don’t!”

She quickly accepted the situation, her eyes gradually lit up, and her whole person became full of energy.

“I’ll follow you then, Human! You must take me to do lots of fun things!”

Her incredible adaptability made the people around her sigh in amazement.

Xia Lian’s lips curved into a slight smile.

She clearly took a liking to this cat they had “picked up” together.

“This cat we picked up is quite interesting.

White Catty, we hit the jackpot.

The cat you’ve been eyeing is indeed a good one~”

Xia Lian couldn’t help but affectionately hug Ye Yao from behind.

She began casually getting handsy again.

Fang Tang noticed the particularly interesting term.

“White Catty? Human, are you actually a cat?”

Seeing the stars in Fang Tang’s eyes, Ye Yao felt a sense of foreboding.

Oh no.

Being called a cat by Xia Lian is enough.

Don’t add another one!

“No, I’m a human. You can keep calling me ‘human’.”

“Nope, she’s a cat, an adorable White Catty. You can call her ‘cat’ too.”

Xia Lian added fuel to the fire from behind.

She seemed intent on corrupting Fang Tang.

Ye Yao hissed.

“Ugh, stop causing trouble!”

Rеaⅾ οո ΚаtRеаⅾiոɡCаfe

“See, she’s hissing. Doesn’t it feel like a cat puffing up its fur?”

Xia Lian said with a smile, swiftly hiding behind Wu Mi.

Convinced by Xia Lian’s words, Fang Tang let out a delighted sound.

“Cat, I like it!”

Ye Yao covered her eyes with one hand.

She didn’t dare to look, hoping that everything was just her imagination.

Evolving from “Ghosty” to “Human”, and now devolving into “Cat”.

What kind of downgrade is this?

It feels like going from an extra large cup to a small cup.

Damn it!

Wu Mi stepped forward and patted the slightly puffed-up Ye Yao.

She also took the opportunity to observe the new companion.

“Although I’ve seen her a few times in the world of cycles, meeting her now confirms it. She really is a strange girl.”

It seemed that Sequence Zero would be even livelier from now on.

Fang Tang was a new source of entertainment.

The little pink-haired girl’s attention soon shifted to Wu Mi.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Wu Mi, one of Ye Yao’s most important friends.”

Wu Mi stood close to Ye Yao, emphasizing her words.

She felt a slight sense of wariness toward Fang Tang.

She had a feeling that this girl was the type who would cling to Ye Yao.

She had to be wary.

Fang Tang circled around Wu Mi once.

Then, she quickly shared her thoughts.

“Mi, cute. You look like an interesting person.”

Wu Mi was starting to sweat.

“The way you address people… is it always this strange?”

“Isn’t it nice? It sounds fun, and it brings us closer. I like it.”

Reаd on КαtRеadіոgСαfe

Fang Tang then turned to look at the others.

They were unfamiliar.

It would take time to get to know them.

But as long as they didn’t lock her up and took her out to play, they could all become friends.

“From now on, let’s get along well~ My name is Fang Tang. I don’t like a boring life, so please take care of me!”

“Mhm, very energetic, but it’s getting late. Let’s go to sleep first.”

Ye Yao walked behind Fang Tang and pushed her toward a room.

“You’ll be living here from now on. Pick a room and decorate it.”

“Cat, which room do you live in?”

Fang Tang turned slightly, curious.

“Do you want to live with me?

That’s not possible. It’ll be uncomfortable if it’s too crowded.”

Ye Yao quickly shook her head.

Wu Mi always came over with a pillow to sleep with her at night.

Xia Lian was even more extreme.

Ye Yao would wake up in the morning to see her sitting by the bed with a comb ready.

If all the girls of Sequence Zero gathered in one room, it would be a disaster.

“Cat, I want to live next to you. After all, I’m only familiar with you. Is that okay?”

Fang Tang stared at Ye Yao with pleading eyes.

Although she had always wanted to leave the restricted zone, suddenly being in a new environment was inevitably somewhat unsettling.

Having someone familiar nearby would make it much easier.

Ye Yao played that role.

The few days they had spent together in the world of cycles had likely made Ye Yao an important friend in Fang Tang’s eyes.

“Hmm~”

Ye Yao fell into thought.

The second floor had plenty of space.

And there were many empty rooms, resembling a castle’s layout.

Rеαd оո КаtReαԁіոgСаfе

Currently, her room was next to Wu Mi’s, and across from Xia Lian’s.

There was another adjacent room where Fang Tang could stay.

Originally, the girls were supposed to live in one concentrated area.

Although Ye Yao wasn’t entirely a girl, it didn’t matter!

As for Mu Luo and the other two, they lived on the other side.

It was quite far away.

“Of course you can. I’ll help you tidy up your room and tell you about our daily activities. I promise you won’t be bored.”

Ye Yao had brought Fang Tang back, so she had to take responsibility for her.

As Lou Wei had thought.

In order to make Fang Tang want to stay, they also had to solve her problem.

First, maintaining her good mood was the priority.

Fang Tang’s attention was indeed captured, and her melon-eating nature emerged.

“Cat, you mean I can see interesting things every day?”

“That depends on how you define ‘interesting’.”

Of course, they would take Fang Tang along when everyone went out to eat.

But Fang Tang had a big problem.

Her ability going out of control needed to be addressed.

Otherwise, they might get caught up in some incident every time they went out.

If it was just bad luck, Sequence Zero’s lineup could handle it.

But if the Countermeasures Bureau found out, how could they pretend to be law-abiding citizens?

Correct!

She must be properly corrected!

Translator Note

It was mentioned in this chapter, but to make it clearer, Fang Tang calls others with one-word nicknames. So far she used Ghosty ² Actually just ‘Ghost’, but I thought Ghosty sounds more like a nickname , Human, Cat, and Mi (鬼，人，猫，and 米 respectively).
