Esper X Family – Chapter 232 – Family Location Sharing

Lou Wei was indeed standing on top of the airplane.

He was there to ensure the plane’s safety.

As the plane took off.

Lou Wei’s clothes and hair remained completely still against the wind.

It was as if the wind and air resistance deliberately avoided him.

He stood there like an immovable statue.

One could say that as long as he was there, the plane would never crash, no matter what happened.

Even if a natural disaster struck, it wouldn’t affect the plane’s normal flight.

Inside the cabin, Ye Yao withdrew her gaze.

She decided not to dwell on the Dayun Truck.

Instead, she thought about what she should do after arriving at the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

There were quite a few things to consider.

For example, she could show off a bit of her strength.

Using ‘Myriad Things Fission’ to give those guys a scare.

This would prove that she was the true stat monster.

Lou Wei was not.

When it came to facing the future, Ye Yao had never feared anyone.

After that, she would need to find a way to meet the legendary Prophet.

Besides, she could also try to see if she could snag some attribute points.

She had an “Uncle” at the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

He probably wouldn’t meet her as the Bureau’s Director.

It would be hard to squeeze any gold coins out of him.

But would she encounter new family members?

Ye Yao was looking forward to it.

As she thought about it, she couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

“Did I forget something?”

Meanwhile.

Jiang Huashen, who had been out collecting materials for a week, returned to the residence in the suburbs.

The young man stood dumbfounded as he looked at the empty house.

The quiet front yard seemed desolate.

It looked like it had been abandoned for several days.

There would have been some traces if someone had been living there.

“Where did everyone go?”

Jiang Huashen had kept his phone turned off to avoid distractions.

Even after collaborating with the Countermeasures Bureau, he rarely used electronic devices.

He spent all his time collecting material and painting.

Jiang Huashen quickly took out his phone and turned it on, expecting to see messages from Ye Yao or others.

But when he checked his social apps…

【Notifications: 0】

Jiang Huashen took a deep breath.

“Am I benched now?”

On the other side.

Ye Tong, who was traveling and enjoying the scenery with Xia Lian, received a phone call.

At that moment, the girl’s expression turned to one of realization.

She finally remembered!

“White Catty? Who’s calling?”

Xia Lian curiously leaned over.

“Old Jiang. I forgot to tell him when we moved.”

“Pff– Ahaha~ Did he think he’s become a stray dog?”

Xia Lian burst into laughter, completely abandoning any semblance of ladylike behavior.

After calming down, she looked at the girl beside her.

“By the way, White Catty, our journey seems a bit too casual. It doesn’t feel like we’re looking for people.”

“What? Should we be posting missing person flyers and asking around?”

Ye Tong shook her head.

She knew that the method wouldn’t be efficient.

It was better to just go with the flow.

Eat when hungry, play games at an internet café when bored, and sleep at a fancy hotel when tired.

It was like a vacation.

Of course, she was still thinking of ways to find them.

They couldn’t rely on the Countermeasures Bureau.

Relying on luck probably wouldn’t work either.

So, she could only study the system to see if there were any other functions she could use.

Ye Yao had noticed that the Found Family System wasn’t like the systems in traditional web novels.

Those proper systems at least introduced themselves.

They would clearly explain their functions to the Host.

But this Found Family System felt like a defective product.

Not only did it not issue tasks proactively, but the Host might also need to dig out its functions.

It was even lazier than Ye Yao herself.

Where’s the manual?

That aside.

The system interface was simple and clear.

There were no extra icons to choose from.

It seemed that only voice commands could activate functions.

Ye Tong had been pestering the system in her mind for days.

And she was still doing it.

“System! I want to actively include someone in the Found Family section.”

【No targets detected within range.】

“Useless! Query the locations of other family members.”

【Family Location Sharing activated.】

The next second.

A map only she could see appeared before the girl’s eyes.

Several light dots of different colors flashed on the map.

They were blue, gray, and pink, representing the initial Found Family, Sequence Zero, and the Magical Girl Alliance.

Ye Yao’s main and fission bodies were white dots.

On the map, a white dot, two blue dots, one pink dot, and two gray dots were moving together.

It was probably the flight heading to the headquarters.

This was the new function Ye Tong had discovered these past few days,【Family Location Sharing】.

She didn’t need the consent of other family members to know the whereabouts of everyone in the Family section.

This way.

If other family members were in danger or trapped, Ye Yao could rush to their rescue.

Unfortunately, this only worked for family members recognized by the system.

The three initial members of Sequence Zero who had strayed from the group were beyond her reach.

Thus, Ye Yao continued to interrogate the system.

“I need to find the family members on my own. Can I add them to the family first and then verify them later? If they don’t fit the family group, I can remove them.”

Ye Yao came up with this idea and tentatively consulted the system.

The system quickly responded.

【Family Reserve Section activated. Host can input family member details and temporarily include them in the family.】

“Hoho~”

Ye Tong let out a delighted sound.

Xia Lian looked at her curiously.

“What’s wrong, White Catty? You’ve been spacing out, and now you’re making strange noises. Do you want me to pat you?”

“I’m in a good mood right now. You can pat me~”

“Shocking! White Catty isn’t hissing!?”

Xia Lian’s cherry lips parted slightly, her eyes wide as if she couldn’t believe her ears.

After all, every time she wanted to pet Ye Tong, she would get a symbolic hiss in reply.

But now, she was so docile?

Ye Yao was indeed very happy.

The system was finally being useful.

It even allowed her to reserve family members.

She wondered if she could see their locations on the map after inputting their details.

Right now, Ye Yao didn’t know much about her missing companions’ information.

She would probably need to get some data from the Countermeasures Bureau.

If she only input names, it would be hard to include them in the section.

“Let’s go, Xia Lian. We’re heading to the local Countermeasures Bureau. I know how to find our missing little buddies now.”

Meanwhile.

At the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters.

Fu Qi was waiting for Ye Yao’s arrival.

Also waiting was a seemingly frail girl with her eyes covered.

Fu Qi asked, “Are you going to meet her when she arrives?”

“Of course I’ll meet her,” the girl replied with a faint smile.

“As a relative or as a member of the Countermeasures Bureau?”

“Wouldn’t combining both be better?”

“Indeed, it’d make the meeting less abrupt.”

Fu Qi pondered.

He couldn’t just casually meet Ye Yao.

Ye Yao had already obtained his phone number before setting out.

She even knew his real name.

Appearing as the Bureau Director might give her a huge shock.

It might even expose other plans.

He would have to adapt to the situation.

“The headquarters has already prepared a cozy trap for her. We’ll see if she falls into it.”

“Who knows?”

Translator Note

Unfortunately, there were no author’s notes for these two chapters.

But the author just posted new chapters a few hours ago. The notes and memes are there, so it’s not the end of the world yet.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, but I usually keep a gap of around 1 day with the raws.
