Esper X Family – Chapter 49 – Three Parties in Position!

There was still a long time before nightfall.

Mo Qiuli arrived with her collection of faithful magical girl outfits.

In the end, Ye Yao couldn’t escape this fate.

“Th-These are the magical girl outfits I’ve carefully selected. They’re absolutely perfect for Ye Yao and Little Luo.”

The bespectacled, wavy-haired loli was holding ten bags of clothing.

It was hard to imagine how strange she must have looked carrying all those bags on her way here.

The thought of trying on several different magical girl outfits later made Ye Yao feel like the sky was about to collapse.

She couldn’t help but glance at Luo Jianhua, who was preparing to share this ordeal with her.

The short-haired loli didn’t seem as resistant.

After all, it was just trying them on in the room, not wearing them outside for others to see.

For a girl who cared about her image, this was still somewhat acceptable.

But Ye Yao was different.

Wearing such outfits was a daunting challenge for her.

Ye Yao wore a look of resignation.

“Come on, I’m ready.”

The loli was prepared to face death.

Mo Qiuli was in high spirits and quickly pulled out an outfit from one of the bags.

“Ye Yao, try this one. I call it the ‘Pure White Angel’. The main color is white, with pink cherry blossoms as decorations. It’ll definitely suit your long white hair perfectly!”

The door was locked.

To better express her emotions and ideas, Mo Qiuli activated her ability and transformed into her magical girl form.

Her long blue hair and dazzling blue dress made her shine.

She was completely immersed in her art.

Ye Yao’s vision darkened.

There’s no stopping this Loli Mercury now.

How could there be such a strange loli obsessed with magical girls?

Looking at the pristine, gorgeous dress in Mo Qiuli’s hands, Ye Yao tilted her head.

Pure White Angel?

Rеaԁ οո ΚаtRеаԁіոgСαfе

Pure? Angel?

It’s cute, sure.

But it didn’t match my lazy personality!

But seeing the expectant look in Mo Qiuli’s eyes, Ye Yao couldn’t bring herself to ask for a different outfit.

It would’ve been better if Mo Qiuli wasn’t holding a camera ready to take pictures.

No way!

This magical girl fanatic even prepared a camera!!!

This is simply a black history generator!

“D-Do we really have to take pictures? Isn’t just looking enough?” Ye Yao tried to resist with all her might.

But Mo Qiuli was adamant.

“Beautiful things must be recorded! If Ye Yao is shy, you can take a photo together with me and Little Luo!”

A photo of three loli magical girls together?

That would definitely be a collector’s item.

Ye Yao glanced at Luo Jianhua, whose face showed “no objections.”

Alright.

My “dear” sister is on Mo Qiuli’s side.

A total “traitor”!

Turning her gaze back to Loli Mercury, Ye Yao said, “Turn back into your normal state before talking to me.”

But Mo Qiuli firmly shook her head.

“No, I wouldn’t be able to express many of my thoughts that way. Ye Yao, you shouldn’t take advantage of my weakness. As a magical girl, you have to keep your word.”

“But I’m not a magical girl…” Ye Yao muttered in protest.

Damn it!

She saw right through me!

This mere Loli Mercury actually has such a sharp mind!

“Fine, let’s do it! As long as you don’t show it to anyone else!”

“Ye Yao, you’re so brave~ Now you really look like a magical girl.”

“Still with the magical girl thing, I told you I’m just an advisor!”

However, Mo Qiuli selectively ignored Ye Yao’s protests.

Rеαԁ οn КatRеаⅾіոgCαfе

Ye Yao was filled with humiliation as she was manipulated by Mo Qiuli and Luo Jianhua, wishing that her base stats were stronger.

Otherwise, these two lolis wouldn’t be able to boss her around like this!

In her normal state, Ye Yao was truly just a ball of white cotton.

Thousands of miles away.

Dark shadows writhed within a dim alley.

In the blink of an eye.

A tall figure leaned against the wall.

Mu Luo originally intended to take out the A4 paper Ye Yao had given him.

But he paused.

Only then did he remember that the papers had turned into ashes last night.

“The things she brought out can’t last long? Sigh, she should’ve mentioned that earlier.”

Fortunately, Mu Luo had memorized all the useful information with his powerful memory.

For an Esper of his caliber, remembering a bit of information didn’t take long.

He only needed a glance to remember everything on those A4 papers.

Now, Mu Luo didn’t need the list to find the people based on the information he remembered.

He had already started moving last night.

And he had successfully located one of the high-risk Sequence Espers’ hiding spots.

Mu Luo could have crushed that bug with a single strike.

But after remembering Ye Yao’s words, he didn’t do it.

This was a group activity.

He couldn’t hog all the glory.

Otherwise, the community he built wouldn’t be able to support each other and move forward.

“Next… we just wait for nightfall.”

Mu Luo lowered his head and closed his eyes to wait, seemingly asleep.

The dark, eerie environment of the alley didn’t affect him.

Rеаⅾ оn КatReaⅾiոɡСαfе

On the contrary, he liked this kind of atmosphere.

The embrace of darkness felt very warm.

The sound of rats knocking over a tin can reached his ears.

Mu Luo opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

The moon hung high.

It’s time.

Time to pick up the others.

At the same time.

The light of a certain room in a high-end residential complex was lit.

Ye Yao, who had just finished showering, was admiring the photos.

“Mhmm~ I’m so cute.”

She had endured great humiliation today.

She had worn a bunch of flashy dresses.

And posed in embarrassing magical girl poses with Mo Qiuli and Luo Jianhua for the photos.

If this were a magical girl anime, they would definitely be the main trio.

When Ye Yao wore the “Pure White Angel” outfit, Mo Qiuli seemed completely entranced, hugging her tightly and refusing to let go.

She kept saying things like “Bliss~”, “This is a true magical girl”, and “Let’s debut and protect the city together”.

It scared Luo Jianhua, who thought that Mo Qiuli was going to take Ye Yao home to raise her herself.

It only eased up after Ye Yao changed back into her everyday clothes.

Mo Qiuli had returned home satisfied.

She didn’t even take the magical girl outfits back with her.

They were neatly left behind in Ye Yao’s wardrobe.

She only took the series of photos she had taken with her camera.

The photos Ye Yao was holding were the ones Mo Qiuli had taken, developed, and brought back.

It was somewhat acceptable.

Digital photos could easily be spread everywhere.

Rеaԁ oո ΚαtReаԁіnɡCаfе

Physical photos reduced that risk.

As long as they were stored properly, there was no risk of her black history being leaked.

Luo Jianhua was comparing a few photos beside her, a gentle smile on her face as her gaze fixed on them.

“These cute outfits really suit you, Sister.”

“Well, you’re not bad either, Little Luo. You’re unbelievably cute.”

Ye Yao was too lazy to argue.

She couldn’t deny the fact that her body was cute.

“Me standing next to Sister is like green leaves complementing a flower.”

“Don’t praise me while putting yourself down. Your name even has the word ‘flower ¹ the 花huā in Luo Jianhua. ’ in it.”

Luo Jianhua blinked.

“But my ability name also has the word ‘leaf’ in it~”

“You and your twisted logic.”

Ye Yao tapped Luo Jianhua’s forehead with her finger, wearing a displeased expression.

Then, she stood up and smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes.

“Alright, it’s time to get ready. I need to sneak out tonight.”

Luo Jianhua looked out the window.

The residential complex was still peaceful.

But her genius intuition told her that it wouldn’t be that simple.

“Be careful. Don’t get caught.”

“Hehe~ Don’t worry. It’s impossible to catch me!”

Ye Yao smiled confidently.

But she didn’t know.

High above.

A pair of calm eyes watched over the land.
