Esper X Family – Chapter 34 – Who Are You Calling Cat and Dog!?

“You don’t believe me?”

Ye Yao’s expression gradually turned cold.

Her usual carefree attitude vanished completely.

It was as if she had flipped a switch.

“That Flame Demon wanted to join an organization of Sequence Espers, so he killed many people and caused massive destruction.”

Sequence 012 began to notice something off in Ye Yao’s tone, and his interest was quickly piqued.

“Were you there at the scene?”

Ye Yao seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and her teeth clenched in frustration.

“I heard the wails of many people, saw things I shouldn’t have. What kind of nightmare do you think I had that night?”

Although she had managed to sleep that night, Ye Yao did indeed have a nightmare.

She just didn’t show it the next day.

It was thanks to her strong mindset.

“Interesting. Go on, I’m listening.”

“Hmph, in the end, I killed him without mercy, right in front of the Countermeasures Bureau Espers.”

Ye Yao snorted, cutting straight to the end without giving him the chance to hear the full story.

Usually, she was the one eating melons ¹ Slang for watching a spectacle from the sidelines or gossipping about something. .

No one got to eat her melon.

At this point, Sequence 012 no longer took Ye Yao’s words as a joke.

If this was indeed a joke, then he could only admire her acting skills.

Her expression and tone were too convincing.

Sequence 012 narrowed his eyes, instinctively tensing up, his tone no longer casual.

“How did you do it? It’s hard for me to believe that you’re the mysterious Esper in black mist.”

Ye Yao wasn’t afraid to reveal her identity to him.

Black mist rose from her feet, gradually obscuring her figure.

A muffled voice emerged from the mist.

“What do you think? Should I demonstrate for you?”

The aggressiveness in her tone was palpable.

After realizing that Sequence 012 might be associated with that Flame Demon, Ye Yao was ready to go out in a bang.

Anyway, her true body was guarded by Lou Wei in the residential complex.

Sequence 012 would have to get past Lou Wei if he wanted revenge.

Otherwise, Ye Yao’s nightmares would remain unresolved.

Seeing Ye Yao’s stance, Sequence 012 finally fully believed her.

“Hah… what a coincidence. Who would’ve thought that the girl I randomly kidnapped was the mysterious Esper who killed Flame Demon?”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

He seemed delighted by this dramatic turn of events.

“What is this? A case of ‘planting willows and reaping shade’?”

He had come for that mysterious Esper.

He thought that he would return empty-handed.

Who could’ve guessed that he would stumble upon her by sheer chance?

Sequence 012’s emotions gradually calmed down as he stared at Ye Yao, who was now shrouded in black mist.

“Although I don’t know how you did it, killing Flame Demon is proof enough of your abilities.”

Ye Yao didn’t respond, only feeling that his tone was odd.

As if her killing Flame Demon was something that pleased him.

Aren’t they supposed to be on the same side?

Then, Sequence 012 seemed to recall something.

“Hey, could it be that when you said you’re a Sequence Esper, you were telling the truth?”

He began to realize that Ye Yao might not have been lying.

A Sequence Esper had actually slipped out from under the Countermeasures Bureau’s watch.

Ye Yao didn’t want to answer that question.

“You answer first, was the Flame Demon one of your people?”

She was ready to unleash Attribute Fission and go out like a firework.

How come this guy is still dragging his feet?

“No, he’s just a madman.”

Sequence 012 sneered.

“Thinking that becoming a Sequence Esper will grant him entry, as if it’s that easy.”

His tone was full of disdain for the Flame Demon.

“If he had come to us for that reason, I might’ve killed him myself.”

Ye Yao: “???”

You’re saying this after I’ve sharpened my blade?

Where am I supposed to direct my pent-up emotions now?

Ye Yao deflated like a balloon, the black mist around her dissipating in the wind, revealing her petite figure once more.

“Hmm… are you telling the truth?”

“Why would I lie for that arrogant lunatic? I could crush that trash with a flick of my finger.”

“Oh…”

Ye Yao could sense that Sequence 012’s tone was genuine.

So they really aren’t on the same side.

“Then, are you a good person?” Ye Yao tilted her head and pressed on.

If Sequence 012 answered no, she was ready to go all out and fight him.

Life is short, might as well live boldly!

People live for the sake of being carefree!

“I think I am,” Sequence 012 replied.

“You think you are so you are, huh? (Annoyed)!”

Ye Yao could see it now.

This guy wasn’t exactly normal either.

“What? Does opposing the Countermeasures Bureau’s Espers make me a bad person? Since when did they get to define good and evil?”

Sequence 012’s words were full of disdain for the National Countermeasures Bureau.

“I’m just taking away those who, like me, can’t control their own fate. What’s wrong with helping people take control of their own destiny?”

“If you say so, I won’t argue.”

Ye Yao wasn’t about to engage in a philosophical debate.

Arguing over such things wasn’t her style.

“Since it’s all a misunderstanding, I’ll head back. Do whatever you want.”

Ye Yao muttered.

She had no intention of getting involved in the conflict between the two sides.

Meddling wasn’t her style.

But then Sequence 012 stopped her.

“Wait, are you going back to live under the Countermeasures Bureau’s containment? Can you accept that kind of life?”

“Gotta make a living…”

If she ran away from the Countermeasures Bureau.

Who would compensate her for the comfortable life she would miss?

Was she supposed to hide under a bridge and cover herself with a small blanket?

Just thinking about it made life seem bleak.

Sequence 012 extended his hand to Ye Yao.

“Since you’re also a Sequence Esper, join us. Our fate should be in our own hands. No one has the right to dictate our future.”

“Hmm…”

It sounded like an interesting option.

But it held no appeal for Ye Yao.

Then, Sequence 012 added one more thing.

“Also… I brought back a girl about your age. She’s been in a bad state lately and might need someone her age to accompany and guide her.”

“Take me to her right away!”

Ye Yao’s eyes lit up, instantly energized.

A fission body joining still counts as joining, right?

A loli is in trouble! Ye Yao to the rescue!

Since it wasn’t a real terrorist organization, there was no harm in checking it out.

After all, it wasn’t her main body going.

Sequence 012 nodded without further ado, leading Ye Yao into the darkness.

That feeling of swimming through slime returned.

Fortunately, it didn’t last long.

When Ye Yao opened her eyes again, she found herself in a new place.

It looked like a farmhouse near the suburbs.

Clearly far from the bustling city center.

Probably to minimize the frequent harassment from the Countermeasures Bureau Espers.

“Let’s go.”

Sequence 012 walked into the yard, with Ye Yao curiously following behind.

As soon as she stepped into the yard.

A pleasant voice rang in Ye Yao’s ears.

“You’re back? And you’ve brought back a cute little one~”

“You’re still as addicted to picking up strays as ever. Does picking up cats and dogs really satisfy you that much?”

Ye Yao: “Hah?”

The white-haired loli hissed!

Who are you calling cat and dog!?

When she was angry, she even dared to hiss at a speeding truck!

She had even provoked the stat monster Lou Wei.

Who has the right to call me cat and dog!?
