Esper X Family – Chapter 32 – Going Out to Fish~ I’ll Catch a Big Fish!

“Little Luo, why don’t you join the Magical Girl Alliance too?”

After seeing Luo Jianhua in her magical girl form, Mo Qiuli started calling her “Little Luo” just like Ye Yao.

Ye Yao was starting to wonder if any girl wearing a magical girl outfit could charm her.

“What’s the Magical Girl Alliance?”

This was the first time Luo Jianhua had heard of such an organization.

It sounded quite frivolous.

Since Luo Jianhua wasn’t an ordinary person, Mo Qiuli didn’t need to keep it a secret.

“It’s an alliance of magical girls, of course. I’m Magical Girl Mercury, and Ye Yao is Magical Girl Lullaby.”

“No, I’m not,” Ye Yao quickly shook her head in denial.

She couldn’t even bear to meet Luo Jianhua’s strange gaze.

Mo Qiuli, this magical girl fanatic, had actually started making things up.

Ye Yao felt like grabbing the loli’s shoulders and shaking her back to reality.

“Oh, I see…”

Luo Jianhua knew that Mo Qiuli was playing the role of a magical girl.

But she hadn’t expected them to have such an organization in private.

“Since Sister is there, I’ll join too.”

As Luo Jianhua said this, her expression was somewhat peculiar.

If her teachers found out that she was hanging out with a problem child like Mo Qiuli, they would probably be too furious to eat.

After all, Mo Qiuli was a complete outlier in the Countermeasures Bureau.

She had single-handedly isolated herself from all her peers in the Bureau.

She didn’t even participate in group training, acting entirely on her own.

Anyone her age who interacted with her risked being “corrupted”.

But now that Ye Yao was here, the teachers probably wouldn’t dare to say anything even if she played with Mo Qiuli.

Luo Jianhua could already imagine her teachers trembling in a corner, intimidated by Ye Yao.

“Pfft~”

It seemed so funny.

Ye Yao nodded in satisfaction beside her.

That’s right, that’s how it should be.

With me around, who would dare to object?

As for Mo Qiuli, she started cheering as soon as Luo Jianhua agreed.

“Yay!”

She even broke through her normal form’s logic, getting so excited it was as if she had transformed into her magical girl form.

But soon, Mo Qiuli’s mood cooled down.

“Too bad I still have five days of punishment left. Otherwise, we could go out tonight to protect the city together… Three magical girls is the classic combo, after all ¹ Indeed, magical girls usually appear in groups of threes. .”

Ye Yao completely ignored Mo Qiuli’s disappointment, continuing to deny her claims.

“No, I’ve said it before, I’m not a magical girl. I’m an advisor ² Military strategist or advisor. I decided to go with Advisor from now on. , understand? Advisor!”

She couldn’t let this slide.

Ye Yao was afraid that one day, this loli would imagine her as a magical girl and pin her down.

Repressed emotions could be terrifying.

Now that she thought about it, she remembered that Mo Qiuli’s strength attribute was completely above hers.

Ye Yao didn’t care about other attributes at all.

She had spent all her attribute points on mental strength.

Without undergoing fission, Ye Yao’s physical strength really couldn’t compare to Mo Qiuli’s.

Damn it!

Can’t strength just increase on its own?

I really don’t have any attribute points to spare for you!

Ye Yao sadly realized that compared to the two lolis beside her, she was truly weak and powerless.

Her single-digit strength in normal state was so embarrassing.

The topic of the Magical Girl Alliance quietly passed.

Next was anime-watching time.

Mo Qiuli quickly immersed herself in it, to the point where ‘eyes glued to the screen’ was the only way to describe it.

Luo Jianhua was also engrossed, staring at the screen with great interest.

Unlike yesterday, she wasn’t constantly thinking about how to please Ye Yao now.

Since she had joined this so-called ‘Magical Girl Alliance’, Luo Jianhua felt that she should take it seriously.

Learning a bit about this stuff was also a way to be responsible to her friends.

Reaⅾ оո ΚatRеaⅾiոɡСαfе

At least it was much more relaxed than her previous lifestyle.

As for Ye Yao?

Ye Yao was thinking about her plan to go out with her fission body tonight.

The earlier commotion had made her itch with curiosity.

Since it wasn’t work, following her whims and indulging her curiosity was another form of slacking off.

Time flew by, and it was already afternoon.

Mo Qiuli left on time, promising to come back again tomorrow.

This loli practically treated Ye Yao’s home as her own.

She spent half of her twenty-four hours here.

What could Ye Yao say?

A cute loli was, of course, very welcome.

Dinner time.

Lou Wei actually appeared at the evening meal, which was rare. His expression showed no signs of fluctuation.

“The neighborhood security has been a bit off lately. Stay home for now and don’t try to go out.”

This seemed to be directed at Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua.

But the real focus was entirely on Ye Yao.

Everyone present knew this.

Including Ye Yao herself.

Ye Yao blinked, her gaze lifting slightly.

【Lou Wei discovered the presence of Sequence 012 Esper near the park this morning. He launched a long-range attack but failed to hit. He suspects that the target is you and believes that the other party will make another attempt. For your safety, Lou Wei decided to personally warn you.】

012?

That number sounds familiar.

Ye Yao quickly recalled.

Wasn’t that the mysterious person I encountered in the park?

He actually came back.

Then Lou Wei spotted him by chance and took a shot.

He’s lucky to be alive.

“Mm, I like staying in my room.”

Ye Yao nodded obediently.

She now had a legitimate reason to stay in her room and slack off.

Lou Wei said nothing more.

After finishing his meal, he put down his chopsticks and left.

He acted like a silent, busy father figure.

Although it wasn’t exactly an act.

After dinner.

Xiao Jing was cleaning up the dishes. Seeing Ye Yao head to the bathroom, she asked Luo Jianhua, who was helping with the dishes.

“Aren’t you going to join her for a bath?”

“No need,” Luo Jianhua gently shook her head.

Xiao Jing was curious.

“You seem different today, Little Jianhua. Your spirit is much better than yesterday.”

At this point.

Xiao Jing wore an expression of “could it be?”

“Did you complete your mission?”

Completing the mission meant that Luo Jianhua had obtained information about Ye Yao’s ability.

She could return to headquarters and report.

No longer burdened by her pressure.

If that were the case.

Her spirit would indeed improve.

Like a resigned workhorse.

Luo Jianhua just smiled and shook her head.

“No, it might still take a long time. I might stay in this home for a while.”

“Is that so? Then do your best. You’re welcome to stay for as long as you like.”

Xiao Jing didn’t push or offer any advice.

For her, being a good mother was enough.

A while later.

Ye Yao stepped out of the bathroom, steaming hot.

It’s time for tonight’s gaming session!

Under these circumstances.

Let’s “stream” and feed the audience first.

Ye Yao’s katana was thirsting for action!

Unlike yesterday, a loli was watching intently today.

Luo Jianhua showed great interest in Ye Yao’s gaming, which motivated her to perform even better, aiming for cool moves.

Remarkably, there were no major mistakes during the gaming session.

“How about I ask the great foster father to get you a computer too? If I ask, he’ll definitely agree.”

“Just watching you play is enough for me.”

“That won’t do. What if I need someone for co-op? You’ll have to be my companion and slack off with me.”

“Alright.”

“Don’t worry, the specs will be top-notch!”

By ten at night.

Ye Yao turned off the computer and gently pushed Little Luo Jianhua out of the room.

“Time to sleep. Remember to come wake me up tomorrow.”

“Mm, I’ll be here on time to wake you up, Sister.”

Luo Jianhua smiled and bid her goodnight.

Ye Yao returned the gesture, then closed the door and turned off the lights.

As she leaped onto the bed, her eyes shone brightly in the darkness.

“Hehe~ Time to go ‘fishing’!”
