Esper X Family – Chapter 226 – Congratulations, Little Friend Ye Yao

This time, Ye Yao called the others to join her.

Mo Qiuli, Wu Mi, and Fang Tang.

The five of them headed to the Countermeasures Bureau base together.

It felt like they were going to school in a group.

Ye Yao began to consider whether she could bring them along.

Wu Mi and Fang Tang’s willingness wasn’t something to worry about.

They would definitely follow her.

But what about Mo Qiuli?

She didn’t seem to be in the know yet, so Ye Yao had to inform her in advance.

“Little Mo, if I said I’m going to the headquarters for advanced training, will you come with me?”

“Can I… really go?”

Mo Qiuli’s expression showed a sense of shock, as if she couldn’t believe someone like her could have access to an authoritative place like the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

To her, staying at a small branch seemed like the limit.

“I… probably don’t have the qualifications, do I?”

Mo Qiuli didn’t have much confidence in this aspect.

She was just a problem child that even the adults found troublesome.

Although her ability was unique, it wasn’t significant enough to be taken seriously.

Mo Qiuli had once looked into how to quickly improve her strength.

One of the ways was to receive focused training at the headquarters, which could grant her more training resources.

For example, guidance from powerful mentors.

Or more advanced auxiliary facilities.

And the latest research on medications without side effects.

One could say that the headquarters was full of opportunities to grow stronger.

It gathered many geniuses of different age groups.

Just learning a little about it made Mo Qiuli shrink back.

How was she any different from a country bumpkin entering the city?

Ye Yao could tell at a glance that Mo Qiuli was feeling inferior again.

“Is there a possibility that you, Little Mo, are actually a genius Esper?”

“N-No, no way, absolutely not!”

Mo Qiuli repeatedly shook her head in denial.

Compared to Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua, she seemed even more like a country bumpkin.

She was practically the bottom of the Magical Girl Alliance!

Just thinking about how the founder of the Magical Girl Alliance was so weak made Mo Qiuli feel a sense of helplessness.

Boss, our Magical Girl Alliance is doomed meow ¹ A meme based on the cats in Monster Hunter, specifically this one. I can’t seem to find that guy’s official name, but people in China call it 呆猫daimao (Stupid Cat), and the meme is basically it trying to help while saying “Boss, [insert line] meow”. .

At this point.

She could only pass the position to Ye Yao.

Let her transform into Magical Girl Lullaby and lead everyone to the top!

【Mo Qiuli plans to step aside and let you become the face of the Magical Girl Alliance!】

Holy crap!

No!

Let’s not wear that kind of yellow robe ² Ancient Emperors wear yellow robes. .

Ye Yao didn’t want to become the so-called poster child.

It would be a bit embarrassing.

“I say you are, so you are. If I ask you to come to the headquarters with us, will you come?”

“If I can… I’d like to go. I can no longer get used to daily life with me alone…”

Mo Qiuli didn’t hesitate at all.

After all, she had no other friends in this city.

The only ones she felt attached to were her parents.

But going to the headquarters for training didn’t mean that she wouldn’t come back.

It should be similar to going to school.

“As long as you agree, it’s fine.”

Ye Yao gently patted Mo Qiuli’s little head.

“Don’t worry, the Countermeasures Bureau will definitely recognize your talent.”

To be honest.

Ye Yao had always thought that Mo Qiuli’s abilities were anything but simple.

【Mercury’s Gift】had the potential to enter the Sequence ranking.

Its plasticity already surpassed many of her peers.

Which Esper could casually use mental power as an attack method at C-rank?

Flight, outfit change, offense, defense… Her ability was incredibly versatile.

It’s called magic, but it was actually a cheat.

Luo Jianhua, whose mental power was approaching B-rank, wasn’t as versatile as her.

And this was still without the B-rank enhancement.

Once her stats hit that level, it might directly turn into “I believe, so I can do it” magic.

The future is indeed promising.

Ye Yao seriously suspected that the Countermeasures Bureau hadn’t paid attention to Mo Qiuli simply because they recognized that she wasn’t easy to win over.

Someone immersed in their own world might not heed guidance even if they possessed powerful abilities.

Perhaps the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters had already sent someone to contact Mo Qiuli.

But then Mo Qiuli turned around and forgot about it because she was gushing over magical girls.

What else could they do?

They could only let the child play.

The Countermeasures Bureau hadn’t fallen so low as to pressure a little girl to quickly grow stronger and take the front lines.

In a short while.

The five of them entered the Countermeasures Bureau base.

Ms. Yang had been waiting for quite some time.

She glanced at the three people beside Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua.

Mo Qiuli was one thing.

Wu Mi and Fang Tang coming along was quite intriguing.

Ms. Yang showed a gentle expression.

“The people from the headquarters are in the meeting room. The others should wait outside first. Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua can go in.”

“Mm.”

Ye Yao adjusted her emotions, feeling as if she was about to enter hardcore grinding mode.

The two of them walked into the meeting room.

There was a man and woman who looked somewhat young.

“Hello, we are the representatives sent by the headquarters to verify your qualifications. We also want to further confirm your relationship with Miss Ye Tong.”

The man had a work badge on his chest that read “Lu Yan”.

“Don’t be nervous. We’re quite easygoing. You don’t have to think of us as strict adults, and you can say whatever you want.”

The woman wore a relaxed smile, giving off a sense of ease.

She also had a work badge on her chest, with the name “Yu Yayin”.

Ye Yao looked a bit nervous, her body not as relaxed.

“Hello, my name is Ye Yao.”

Lu Yan nodded, holding a tablet and scrolling through the interface.

“We’ve looked into your information. Your records show that you’re from an orphanage, with an unclear background, and later adopted by Mr. Lou Wei and Ms. Xiao Jing. You awakened your abilities less than two months ago.”

“The leader of Sequence Zero, Ye Tong, also has an unclear background. You share similar physical traits, suggesting a blood relationship, but there’s no concrete evidence to confirm this.”

Lu Yan’s tone was very procedural, almost making Ye Yao feel like she wasn’t being favored.

But this was probably to avoid raising her suspicions.

Even if she knew a lot, in the eyes of the Countermeasures Bureau, she knew nothing.

So the act had to be convincing.

Although Lu Yan seemed like an emotionless tech guy, Yu Yayin made up for it.

“Don’t be nervous~ Although there’s no substantial evidence, a quick comparison makes it clear that you’re sisters.

And according to Miss Ye Tong’s records at the Countermeasures Bureau, she once mentioned having a very cute little sister.

I suspect that she might have been silently watching over you, and perhaps once she completes a certain mission, she’ll return to acknowledge you.”

Ye Yao tilted her head.

The Countermeasures Bureau was starting to make things up to reassure her.

When did I ever say such things?

“I want to become as strong as her, otherwise, I might not have the face to see her…”

Lu Yan and Yu Yayin leaned back on their chairs.

This little one seemed a bit hard to persuade.

Her strength anxiety might not be easily alleviated.

Lu Yan continued with the procedure.

“According to our investigation, you haven’t successfully used your ability yet.

But within a month of awakening your abilities, your mental power surged to above C-rank.

Coupled with the fact that Ye Tong, who is suspected to be your biological sister, is incredibly strong, we believe that you qualify for focused training.”

Yu Yayin smiled and chimed in.

“In other words, congratulations, little friend Ye Yao! You can go to the headquarters for advanced training.”
