Esper X Family – Chapter 40 – National Special-Class Protected Waste

Ye Yao slowly got out of bed.

She was still wearing her cute pajamas.

Luo Jianhua was by her side, helping her get ready quickly.

“ Fwaah~ ”

Ye Yao let out a small yawn and reached her arm into the sleeve Luo Jianhua held out for her.

It was a level of service where she didn’t even need to lift a finger.

After helping Ye Yao get dressed, Luo Jianhua picked up a comb to tidy her messy white hair.

Ye Yao felt as comfortable as a cat being gently petted.

Is this what it feels like to be taken care of by a loli?

Ye Yao couldn’t help but marvel.

“And you, my little sister, are a true mama ¹ .”

“Don’t say weird things.”

After straightening Ye Yao’s hair to perfection, Luo Jianhua smiled with satisfaction.

She was starting to get addicted to this.

No longer was it the life of early mornings and late nights spent in grueling training.

Instead, her days were spent taking care of a lazy yet adorable girl like Ye Yao.

Although it felt like their roles had been reversed…

Luo Jianhua still remembered that she was supposed to be the younger sister.

She was even slightly smaller than Ye Yao.

Normally, it should be the older sister taking care of the younger one.

“Hmm? Do you want me to take care of you? I can give it a try~”

Ye Yao suddenly spoke up, her tone slow and languid, giving off an extremely lazy vibe.

Luo Jianhua pouted.

Clearly, Ye Yao had been peeking into her thoughts again.

“Sister, you should start by waking up early.”

Rеaⅾ oո ΚаtRеаԁіnɡCαfе

“That’s definitely not happening.”

“Then just let me take care of you. Consider it a replacement for the training I’ve given up.”

In the past, Luo Jianhua’s life had been completely filled with training.

Now that she had free time, she didn’t know what to do.

Waking up early no longer meant mental power training but to act as Ye Yao’s alarm clock, ensuring that she woke up comfortably.

Naturally, Luo Jianhua felt that she owed Ye Yao for helping her escape that life of hardship.

Well, there was also the fact that her affection for Ye Yao had grown.

Luo Jianhua admired Ye Yao’s mindset and lifestyle.

She always felt a sense of awe towards certain kinds of strength.

Luo Jianhua wasn’t very good at handling the pressure others placed on her.

Yet Ye Yao seemed completely unfazed by the pressure around her.

She had a lot to learn from her.

The two walked into the living room.

Ye Yao greeted the mysterious newspaper-reading man who always seemed to refresh on the couch.

“Good morning.”

“Mm.”

Lou Wei responded as usual, although his gaze flickered slightly.

Ye Yao’s mental power had increased again.

While the increase was minor to Lou Wei, it was still quite significant.

Steadily improving mental power without targeted training was something that most Espers couldn’t achieve.

Could it be that Ye Yao’s mental power grew while she slept?

Lou Wei couldn’t help but wonder.

According to reports from the electronic surveillance team, Ye Yao spent her days watching anime with her friends.

At night, it was non-stop gaming.

Rеaԁ оո ΚαtReaⅾіոɡСαfe

Her lifestyle was so lazy it could only be described as “National Special-Class Protected Waste”.

With such a routine, there was no time left for mental power training.

That left only one possibility.

Ye Yao’s mental power might naturally increase.

This was incredibly unusual.

But it also fits the profile of someone destined to destroy the world.

If someone capable of destroying the world didn’t have some unique tricks, how could anyone believe that they could actually do it?

Fortunately, the rate of Ye Yao’s mental power growth was still within acceptable limits.

It was enough to simply record it, and no intervention was necessary.

Ye Yao had seen Lou Wei’s thoughts.

She didn’t react abnormally.

She was considering whether to hold off on increasing her attributes in the future, just in case the Countermeasures Bureau overreacted.

After Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua finished breakfast,

Mo Qiuli arrived at lightning speed.

“G-Good morning! I’m here to visit again today…”

“Mhm~ That’s great! Come on, let’s go to my room!”

Ye Yao pulled Mo Qiuli into her room as soon as she arrived.

She held Luo Jianhua with one hand and the other smoothly locked the door behind them.

A secret little space was born.

“Are we watching Magical Girl anime today?”

Mo Qiuli asked eagerly.

Ye Yao was at a loss for words.

This damn kid really never gets tired of it, does she?

If magical girls actually exists in this world, that’d be quite a spectacle.

Rеaԁ oո КаtRеаԁiոɡCαfe

Ye Yao shook her head.

“Let’s do something else today.”

“Okay…”

Mo Qiuli nodded, looking slightly dejected, but she quickly perked up again.

After all, she could watch magical girl anime anytime.

Skipping it for one day was no big deal.

“We’re going to hold a small meeting today.”

Ye Yao brought a small table over and placed it in the middle of the three of them, simulating a round-table conference.

Mo Qiuli and Luo Jianhua immediately looked at her with curiosity.

“Could it be…? Are we starting Magical Girl Alliance activities? When is it? I’m ready anytime!”

The thought alone got Mo Qiuli excited.

Her big eyes sparkled.

All her usual shyness and timidity were forgotten.

She couldn’t wait to transform into Magical Girl Mercury on the spot.

Punishment from the Countermeasures Bureau?

What’s that?

It can’t compare to the bond between magical girls!

Ye Yao placed a hand on Mo Qiuli’s head, pushing her back down from her overexcited state.

“It’s not that.”

“Ah… It’s not?”

The light in Mo Qiuli’s eyes instantly faded.

Her look of wanting to curl up in a corner and draw circles was so adorable, it made one want to pick her up and kiss her.

“Don’t be so down. It’ll happen eventually.”

Ye Yao patted her head to comfort her, which slightly improved Mo Qiuli’s mood.

Then Luo Jianhua spoke up, getting to the point:

“What did you want to talk about, Sister?”

Rеαd οո КαtRеаԁіոgСafe

Ye Yao rested her elbows on the small round table.

She propped her chin on her hands as she spoke in a soft, mysterious tone.

“Actually, I’m very interested in Sequence Espers.”

Mo Qiuli tilted her head, recalling Flame Demon from that day.

“Are we going to cause trouble for Sequence Espers? But even if I transform into a magical girl, I don’t think I can beat them…”

Mo Qiuli knew the fearsome reputation of Sequence Espers.

Even if she trained hard to get stronger, she still couldn’t compete with any of the Sequence Espers on the Countermeasures Bureau’s wanted list.

C-rank mental power was still too weak.

Looking for trouble would only result in Magical Girl defeat CGs.

It wasn’t something to be taken lightly.

“Silly Mo Qiuli, what are you thinking? Even if we wanted to cause trouble, we wouldn’t know where they’re hiding.”

Ye Yao stared at Mo Qiuli in exasperation.

“I just want to know which Sequence Espers are wanted. Preferably with an accurate list and basic information.”

If she could get her hands on that list and hand it over to the all-purpose “talent” Mu Luo…

They might be able to find them quickly.

“What do you want the list for?” Mo Qiuli asked, confused.

“Is it related to last night’s outing?”

Luo Jianhua quickly guessed the reason Ye Yao was seeking the list.

“Can you tell us why?”

Ye Yao blinked.

“I just met a few vigilantes who like to fight evil and bring justice to the people. They want to become heroes and eliminate threats, and I fully support them, so I’m helping them find the bad guys. That’s about it.”

“What… are you saying?”

Luo Jianhua’s brain short-circuited.

Oh no.

Ye Yao might have run into some weirdos.
