Esper X Family – Chapter 274 – Do I Have to Transform Too?

“What my ability is?”

Upon hearing this question, Ye Yao fell into deep thought.

No one interrupted her thinking.

Both the people present and the two in the sky were quietly waiting for an answer.

Ye Yao reached out her hand, clenching and unclenching it a few times, showing a troubled expression.

“It seems I can’t use the power from before anymore.”

Neither Lou Wei nor Fu Qi in the sky were surprised by this.

After all, that was Ye Tong’s “prank”.

Naturally, it couldn’t be used after Ye Tong left.

What they feared now was Ye Yao calling upon her ability again.

And the troublesome Ye Tong responding to Ye Yao once more.

If this situation repeated, Fu Qi might just directly set aside his dignity as the director of the Countermeasures Bureau and plead with her to stop.

After all, she was ostensibly his “eldest niece”.

Ye Tong had only mentioned that she didn’t acknowledge Lou Wei as her “father”.

But she had never said that she didn’t acknowledge the familial identities of others.

Thus, his identity as “uncle” should still hold some validity.

So, it wouldn’t be inappropriate for an uncle to appease his “niece”.

Definitely not embarrassing at all.

“It’s fine if you can’t use it. Are there any other problems?

For example, can you feel some kind of power inside you?”

The relevant staff continued to ask according to the director’s instructions.

Ye Yao seemed to genuinely sense for something, and a hint of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

“Eh?”

At this moment, the hearts of several people suddenly leaped to their throats.

Especially Lou Wei and Fu Qi.

From Ye Yao’s expression, it seemed that Ye Tong had indeed left something behind!

What could it be?

They only hoped that it wouldn’t have too much of an impact on Ye Yao.

Then they saw Ye Yao’s expression change to excitement.

“I want to try something!”

After saying that, she turned to Mo Qiuli.

“Little Mo, come over and help me, summon your Mercury mascot!”

“O-Okay.”

Mo Qiuli nodded eagerly and summoned the embodiment of her ability.

A basketball-sized model of Mercury floated in the air.

It emitted a faint glow representing the power of her ability.

Full of special effects!

When Mo Qiuli went through her usual procedure, she had to touch this orb to transform like a magical girl.

That certainly made its presence felt.

Then, under the gazes of everyone, Ye Yao placed her hand on the Mercury model.

Mentally chanting, “Myriad Things Fission.”

The next moment.

A similar model was manifested on Ye Yao’s other hand.

Also emitting a magical glow.

Mo Qiuli’s eyes went wide.

“Two Mercuries!”

This was undoubtedly the effect of Ye Yao’s ability.

The relevant staff began to observe the differences between the two ability constructs.

But they found no abnormalities at a glance.

Mo Qiuli’s ability construct and the one in Ye Yao’s hand were nearly identical.

Both Lou Wei and Fu Qi in the sky were taken aback by Ye Yao’s feat.

“That’s her ability? Is that the legendary world-destroying ability?”

Fu Qi’s gaze locked onto the construct in Ye Yao’s hand, nearly unable to look away.

“Replication? From what Ye Tong just displayed, it seems she also copied the others’ ability constructs…”

But then he quickly rejected his own speculation.

“No, there’s no way it can be that simple. There must be something hidden!”

Lou Wei didn’t mind Fu Qi’s mumbling.

He was also thinking.

Finally, he reached a conclusion.

“It might be a weakened version of the world-destroying ability.”

Assuming that Ye Tong was Ye Yao’s ability avatar, she could naturally share part of her power back to her host.

However, this no longer seemed to require assumption.

Ye Yao had wholeheartedly called upon her ability, and it was then that Ye Tong had suddenly appeared.

It seemed that as the ability avatar, Ye Tong could respond to Ye Yao’s summons at any time, even ignoring the distance to return.

This was a side aspect of the world-destroying ability.

But Ye Tong also had her own thoughts.

Being independent, she had things she wanted to do herself.

Naturally, she wouldn’t want to respond casually to Ye Yao’s summons.

Therefore, she split off part of her power to return it, letting Ye Yao think that she could use her ability.

This way, she wouldn’t continue to be summoned.

From this, one could see Ye Tong’s care for Ye Yao.

It seemed that there was no need to worry about Ye Tong developing any adverse intentions towards Ye Yao.

As long as Ye Yao wasn’t disappointed with this world.

Even if Ye Tong had the strongest power, she probably wouldn’t act against it.

This was the only point of reassurance.

Of course, this was under the premise that no other factors interfered.

Fu Qi suddenly understood.

“A weakened version of the world-destroying ability? Then how much has it been weakened?

We might be able to deduce all the effects of the world-destroying ability from Ye Yao’s performance.”

In the practice ground.

Mo Qiuli’s emotions had already begun to stir with excitement.

Reαd оո ΚatReаdіոgСαfe

She looked at Ye Yao with bright eyes.

Suddenly, Mo Qiuli performed a swift transformation and directly transformed into Magical Girl Mercury.

Dressed in splendid attire, the blue-haired girl looked eagerly at the silver-haired girl who also possessed “Mercury’s Gift”.

“Ye Yao, hurry and try if you can transform into a magical girl too!”

Ye Yao was momentarily stunned.

“Do I have to transform too?”

Transforming into a magical girl in front of everyone?

She only dared to put on a magical girl outfit in a room without outsiders.

Let alone something as embarrassing as transforming in public.

In a sense, she could indeed control the fissioned object.

This “Mercury” construct was the embodiment of Mo Qiuli’s ability.

Theoretically, it was tied to this little one’s ability.

Thus, it seemed that Ye Yao could indeed utilize the properties held by this【Mercury’s Gift】to do things.

The greatest characteristic of Mo Qiuli’s ability was its plasticity.

Changing outfits, flying, beams of light, and so on, all very comprehensive.

Thus, Ye Yao could indeed try to transform into the magical girl Tong Yao using this power.

But how could she possibly do that?

“I… I can’t do it.”

Ye Yao averted her gaze, lying.

She clearly had a guilty conscience.

This detail was captured by the two powerhouses in the air.

There was no doubt that she could do it.

She just didn’t want to.

“How can this be!?”

The Mercury girl instantly transformed back into a soft, black-haired loli, letting out a cute cry of despair.

The relevant staff ignored this scene and continued to ask another question.

“Is that the only effect?”

“It should be… um, maybe… right?”

Ye Yao had an uncertain expression, looking a bit anxious.

She looked quite pitiful.

“Did I cause trouble after all?”

The next moment.

The expressions of the relevant staff slightly changed.

“No, your ability might have other effects that are yet to be discovered. We’re done with our questions.

You can now leave through a special passage back to your dormitory. Remember not to speak of what just happened.”

“Oh, thank you!”

Then the five of them were led away from the training ground through a special passage.

The adults didn’t follow behind them.

To avoid drawing too much attention.

In no time.

Ye Yao and the others reappeared outside.

The nearby newcomer Espers hadn’t dispersed completely yet.

It was particularly lively.

They were all speculating about who had caused the commotion earlier.

At that moment, the instructor who had guided Ye Yao in releasing her abilities noticed the petite figure.

“Ah?”

She wasn’t taken away for containment!?

Not even a powerhouse following her!

This doesn’t make sense!

The next moment, the guiding instructor realized.

Such high authority!?

Author Note

It’s still so cold today. My feet are freezing every night, and even with the air conditioner on for heating, I get dizzy. The weather forecast shouldn’t be lying. I’m hoping for a warmer day tomorrow to save me.
