Esper X Family – Chapter 497 – Big Win, Huge Win!

Ye Ge is right next to the streamer?

This statement sent a jolt through the livestream viewers.

If any other streamer had said this, the viewers might’ve called it nonsense.

But this was the alt account of the legendary “Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one ¹ Fun Fact: The line was spoken by Shakyamuni Buddha (Prince Siddhartha) when he was born, basically announcing that it’s his last reincarnation and the end of his cycle, that his existence is most supreme in the entire world. As for the pose, one hand pointing up and another pointing down symbolizes the Heaven and Earth. “, the Great Emperor Tong Yao!

What she said was undoubtedly ninety-nine percent true!

Who could be more authoritative than her?

The Countermeasures Bureau higher-ups lurking in the livestream sucked in a cold breath.

Was it real?

Based on Ye Ge’s ruthless and unyielding personality, and from her attitude toward Ye Yao for failing to meet her expectations, she was the type to flick her forehead without a second thought instead of doting on her.

The Countermeasures Bureau higher-ups thought that it would take a long time for Ye Yao to tame Ye Ge.

But what did she mean by “she’s right next to her”?

Was the “taming” ceremony about to begin?

However, Ye Yao swiftly changed her tone, becoming very casual.

“Just kidding. I don’t know where Ye Ge is either.”

Of course, Ye Yao wouldn’t reveal how close Ye Ge was to her main body.

The goal was to maintain the perception that Ye Ge was uncontrollable, forcing the Countermeasures Bureau to struggle forward under pressure.

If Ye Ge seemed controllable, then wouldn’t all her scheming have been for nothing?

Looks like she would have to let Ye Ge make an appearance every now and then to keep her presence felt.

If Ye Yao’s identity couldn’t settle scores, then let Ye Ge do the settling!

The audience breathed a sigh of relief while also feeling a bit surprised by Ye Yao’s playfulness.

Even though they had always felt that the streamer was quite human, unlike an unstoppable powerhouse.

But to be so casual even after her identity was exposed, “Tong Yao” and “Ye Ge” really were just accidents, right?

Got it! This was the id, the ego, and the superego ² Basically represents the different parts of yourself. Id is the impulsive part that seeks immediate gratification, Ego is the rational part that balances Id with reality, and Superego is the moral conscience you absorbed from your parents, environment, etc. Honestly an interesting way to look at the splits that way with Ye Ge being Id, Ye Tong as Ego and Ye Yao as Superego even if they’re just made up roles~ – Proofreader Enncie !

As long as there’s no civil war, it’s a success!

The audience adapted very quickly, and their pace was lightning fast.

They would be discussing one topic, and the next second, switch to another.

“Streamer, was Tong Yao really a magical girl? What do you think about Magical Girl Mercury’s statements? Are you saying there really is a Magical Girl Lullaby? How come I’ve never seen her?”

As soon as this barrage of super chats popped up, the direction indeed changed.

This was undoubtedly a very bloody topic!

The Great Emperor Tong Yao who ushered in a new era actually used to be a magical girl?

If someone else said this, it might be dismissed as fake history.

But with the highly authoritative Magical Girl Mercury personally admitting it, and the doxxed intelligence from the All-Knowing Demon Eye…

This topic hadn’t cooled down at all the entire week! It remained incredibly hot!

There was no helping it.

Who asked Mo Qiuli to keep taking the lead outside, working tirelessly to rebuild homes and constantly staying in the public eye?

Every time people saw that blue-haired loli, they couldn’t help but think of “Magical Girl Lullaby”.

The contrast was simply too striking.

And topics with strong contrast usually spark intense discussion!

Who wouldn’t want to frantically go online and beg any witnesses to post a picture of Magical Girl Lullaby in action?

Seeing it would be a win!

To see such a powerful being in such a contrasting light would be worth the ticket price, even if it cost you your life!

Unfortunately, there were no witnesses.

Mo Qiuli actually had photos of Ye Yao wearing magical girl outfits in her collection.

But there was no way she would share that treasure with anyone else.

No one was more possessive than her in this regard.

Anyway, Ye Yao got a bit flustered the moment this topic came up.

“Wh-What magical girl? I don’t know about that. You guys made those words up. I’ve never known anything like that!”

How could Ye Yao admit it?

Playing along with Mo Qiuli’s role-playing was one thing.

But she never thought that this dark history would become a reality.

Mo Qiuli had also been eroded by heavenly will, actually revealing that identity.

By now, “Magical Girl Lullaby” was probably going to haunt her forever.

“E-Even if something like that exists, why are you asking me? Go ask the person herself. I’m just an ordinary, small-time streamer!”

Nothing confirmed this matter more than the streamer’s flustered tone.

So it’s not fake history!

Magical Girl Mercury was right. There really was a Magical Girl Lullaby in the world.

It seemed like she had retired, but could jump back into action anytime.

This contrast was simply too delicious!

“Streamer, I get what you mean.”

“There can be no two suns in the sky! From today on, my heart only has room for Magical Girl Lullaby as the one sun!”

“Magical girls are justice!”

“Streamer! I want to become a magical girl too. Do you have any channels for that?”

Ye Yao was about to turn red with embarrassment.

These guys really didn’t know how to write the word ‘fierce’, did they? Did they really think she was a pushover?

She was going to end the world!

She was going to create a world without “Magical Girl Lullaby”!

“Dammit! You guys better not sleep too soundly tonight, or I’ll have my friend grind you all into cat pancakes!”

With those words, Yao Catty angrily ended the stream!

But Ye Yao’s “threat” didn’t make the viewers tremble in fear. Instead, it made them find the streamer even more endearing.

Here were two figures from different worlds, their statuses as far apart as heaven and earth, yet they could casually chat through a screen.

They could even hear such adorable ‘scoldings’ and targeted comments.

What else was there to say?

Just be loyal!

At least in terms of emotional value, Yao Catty was in a league of her own among streamers!

Inside the dorm.

As Ye Yao logged off in a huff, Luo Jianhua and the others returned one after another.

Mo Qiuli had a guilty, hesitant look on her face.

“Ye Yao, did I do something wrong?”

Ye Yao put a smile back on her face and reached up to pat Mo Qiuli’s soft, fluffy black hair.

“Not at all. I don’t hate that identity. It was just for the show, yeah, just for the show!”

Although she didn’t hate it, accepting it openly wasn’t so simple either.

Ye Yao’s perception of herself was “Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one”!

She was born to shatter the whole world with one punch!

But the image of a “magical girl” was just too maidenly, it completely undermined her dignity!

Ye Yao decided that she would never fight under the identity of “Magical Girl Lullaby” again!

Mo Qiuli’s eyes lit up with understanding.

“I see. I thought Ye Yao was going to abandon me.

Speaking of which, it seems the Countermeasures Bureau is planning to make some anime starring me lately.

I’d like to include the image of Magical Girl Tong Yao in the anime. What do you think, Ye Yao?”

Ye Yao: “A-Awawa…”

Wh-What’s this?

Was her glorious reputation finally going to be ruined at the hands of Mo Qiuli?

But facing Mo Qiuli’s expectant and eager gaze, Ye Yao couldn’t bear to refuse outright.

In the end, she could only nod, tears welling in her eyes.

“I-It’s fine, as long as you don’t mention names…”

“Um, it’s okay for Ye Yao to say no. You don’t have to force yourself…”

Mo Qiuli looked a bit worried, thinking she was just putting on a brave front.

Ye Yao immediately objected.

“Hmph, are you denying the existence of our Magical Girl Alliance? I said it’s fine, so it’s fine!”

“Yay~”

Mo Qiuli made a happy sound. There was no need to mention how overjoyed she was.

Even though Ye Yao was usually too busy to do magical girl activities with her.

At least she could incorporate this wish into the anime!

Magical Girl Lullaby and Magical Girl Mercury active as partners in the anime.

How is that not a form of magical girl activity?

Mo Qiuli was winning big!

However, the thought of this alt account becoming recognized by even more people made Ye Yao feel like ants were crawling all over her.

Finally, she turned to look at Luo Jianhua, remembering something very important.

“Little Luo, the mentor who trained you back then… where do they normally hang out?”
