Esper X Family – Chapter 390 – Ye Yao Is Twice as Strong as Jack!

Ye Yao had Luo Jianhua’s warning for the deed had only stated that the swap would last one day.

But how could the real situation possibly be just one day?

One day wasn’t nearly enough time to have fun. It was barely enough for one livestream session.

So, this was just a smokescreen!

She was going to play again the next day!

But would the Countermeasures Bureau believe this information?

The scheduled exchange time was already over. If the next day arrived as expected, would they treat her as Ye Yao or Ye Tong?

Luckily, tomorrow was the last day of the weekend, so she could follow her usual routine and visit her uncle’s house.

She would see how things went then.

If Fu Qi dared to avoid her this time, she was really going to make a scene.

After dinner.

Ye Yao sat in front of her computer, secretly reading the chat logs.

Mo Qiuli and the others had already returned from outside.

A certain magical girl was sharing the details of today’s magical girl activity with everyone.

“Today, I helped a lot of people in trouble!

Now that everyone’s awakened their abilities, they need help more than ever.

When I set out at noon, I saw a fool who used their levitation ability, drained all their mental power, and fell into the water.”

Ye Yao was also listening to Mo Qiuli’s stories.

Who wouldn’t want to know about a magical girl’s adventures?

“If it wasn’t for Magical Girl Mercury showing up to save them, that fool might’ve been fished out by some angler, right?”

Ye Yao responded to Mo Qiuli’s story with a smile.

“Yeah, yeah, exactly. It’s thanks to me, Magical Girl Mercury, appearing just in time. Otherwise he would’ve been done for.”

Mo Qiuli was thrilled that Ye Yao was interested.

“And then! Someone accidentally started a fire while using their ability. I used magic to put it out right away, so it didn’t spread.”

“Mm-hmm, the people will thank you, and the firefighters will too.”

“Hehe~ A magical girl doesn’t have time to bask in gratitude and admiration while doing good deeds.

I want to restore the glory of magical girls, and eventually become a magical girl who can fight alongside ‘Lullaby’!”

Ye Yao looked like a mother shedding her tears.

“That’s great. Even without transforming, my little Mo already has the aura of a magical girl.

Sparkling with hope and vitality, my little Mo has truly grown up… I can rest easy now.”

Hearing this, Mo Qiuli’s cheeks puffed up in anger.

“Don’t talk to me like a mother, Ye Yao. We’re comrades-in-arms, not mother and daughter. Stop ruining the magical girl worldview.”

Ye Yao blinked.

“Can I not be a magical girl?”

“No.”

Mo Qiuli wasn’t about to let her best partner go.

The Magical Girl Alliance is unbreakable!

Even “Lullaby” herself couldn’t object!

Ye Yao had no choice but to nod in resignation.

“Al… right then.”

Mo Qiuli smiled with satisfaction.

“Speaking of which, Ye Yao, I’ve noticed that when I use magic recently, it feels much easier. The consumption isn’t as high as before. Have I become really strong?”

Ye Yao used the system to check Mo Qiuli.

【Ability: Mercury’s Gift

Mental Power: 486】

Her mental power was close to breaking into B-rank.

It seemed like Mo Qiuli had been working really hard lately.

Besides, she was a genius to begin with, and her ability was a hidden high-level one.

If it weren’t for the fact that her ability was already stable and didn’t show too much threat, she would’ve probably become an innate Sequence Esper long ago.

After all, whose ability could be related to a celestial body?

Mercury’s presence in the solar system was certainly not insignificant.

In the future, Mo Qiuli might even be able to project Mercury itself to crush her enemies.

She would call it “magic of love and justice”, of course.

During her last Apotheosis, Ye Yao had strengthened the connection between Mo Qiuli’s ability and Mercury, accelerating her growth.

Once she reached B-rank, she would probably display talents far surpassing many geniuses.

She had the potential to become the new-generation’s stat monster!

“Little Mo has indeed gotten much stronger.”

Ye Yao affirmed Mo Qiuli’s words.

The bespectacled loli immediately became overjoyed.

“That’s great! I’m one step closer to fighting alongside Tong Yao!”

Hey, why is this kid so fixated on that?

Reαⅾ оn КαtReαⅾіnɡСafe

Think about your original dream, think about the initial impulse in your heart, think about your family, think about yourself…

Ye Yao wanted to say something but held back. She read what Mo Qiuli mentally categorized as “magical girl-like friendship” but was actually indescribable feelings.

She could only resign herself and gently stroke Mo Qiuli’s fluffy hair.

“As long as you’re happy.”

Mo Qiuli closed her eyes in contentment like a spoiled kitten.

“Oh, by the way~ while I was out doing magical girl activities, I also promoted the Magical Girl Alliance a bit. I said Lullaby is Magical Girl Mercury’s best partner, but no one took it seriously. They all thought I was joking.”

Ye Yao gently scratched under Mo Qiuli’s chin with practiced expertise, trying to cheer her up

“Silly Little Mo, have you considered how the world sees my alt account? Spreading rumors that Tong Yao is a magical girl… you’re lucky no one’s cursing you out.”

Mo Qiuli had only been doing good deeds, practically a little angel who loved helping others.

If it were some other brat who did nothing but spread rumors, they would’ve been scolded long ago.

Perhaps Mo Qiuli was just a good-natured child full of imagination in their eyes, empowered by Tong Yao.

Treating the one who gave her power as a partner… little girls’ thoughts could be that simple sometimes.

But they would never imagine that Mo Qiuli was also a “closed beta player” and had genuinely formed the Magical Girl Alliance with “Lullaby”.

After scratching her chin, Ye Yao rubbed her cheeks. This combo move left Mo Qiuli dazed, unable to even think clearly.

Under this technique, any worries could be easily forgotten.

She had learned it from a certain weakling Xia Lian.

Setting aside other things, her cat-petting skills were pretty good.

At least there was one area where she excelled.

Fortunately, Mo Qiuli still maintained a sliver of reason.

“But… But it’s obviously true…”

“It can’t be helped if people don’t believe it. Once your popularity is a bit higher and you have more prestige, you can announce it to the world. Maybe some people will believe it then.”

Ye Yao would never step forward and admit it herself. That would be tantamount to a public execution.

It was better to let Mo Qiuli work for it herself.

It would become motivation for her growth.

“Mm-hmm!”

Mo Qiuli was completely satisfied.

But while she was satisfied, the others could no longer contain themselves.

“Cat! I want to tell you about my day too. Quick, pet me!”

As always, Fang Tang was direct about what she wanted.

“Ye Yao, Cycle petting…” Wu Mi looked at Ye Yao expectantly.

“Sister~”

Ye Yao was brimming with confidence.

This was the first time Ye Yao had faced the four little girls at once.

Jack could fight two monsters at the same time ¹ Ultraman Jack Text: This is Jack’s first time fighting two monsters at once , but she was taking on four lolis all at once.

She was twice as strong as Jack!

“Alright, alright, come at me together. Let my divine hands give you all a good, relaxing time!”

Giving pressure to the Countermeasures Bureau’s old-timers; giving gentle pats to the little lolis.

That’s how you stay well-rounded!

Author Note

The numbers I’m getting from Fanqie is decreasing, and the number of people following me is also declining, making me increasingly less motivated. Everyone’s suggesting that I offer a bounty for extra chapters to keep things going, but I feel like it’s a bit late, since fewer and fewer people are joining as the story progresses, and I doubt I’ll be able to add many extra chapters anyway.
