Esper X Family – Chapter 531 – Do I Have to Choose?

“We are family by fate!

Would your Bro Ye lie to you?

Don’t give me that look like I’m some naive child!

I’m serious!”

Ye Yao quickly won the favor of the three with her astonishing affinity.

There was hardly any suspicion or resistance during the process.

First, the older An Qi had always relied on the guidance of fate.

Second, the older Wu Mi welcomed this further change that would break the “cycle”.

And finally, the older Yin Yi’s eyes lit up upon hearing that Ye Yao came from a parallel world.

She truly was a fellow traveler from home.

Ye Yao was completely open with them.

After all, to truly earn their trust, strength alone was not enough. She had to reveal some important intel.

It wasn’t like she was dealing with the Countermeasures Bureau, nor did she need to set up any schemes for these grown-up little ones.

Meanwhile.

Inside another painting world.

The older Luo Jianhua finally understood why Ye Yao had been acting so strangely.

“So this is the reason you want me to call you Sister?”

After hearing the general story, she managed to shed her slightly robotic facade and face this unbelievable development with the mindset of an adolescent girl.

After all, Ye Yao had seen through her true nature and kept using her gentle voice to break down her psychological defenses. There was no way she could keep up the act.

Coupled with the story that sounded as if it had truly happened…

The older Luo Jianhua could only show a complex expression.

“But even so, the Little Luo in the story isn’t me, and we are definitely not family.”

“I don’t care about that. Either I call you Mom, or you call me Sister. You pick.”

“So I have to choose…?”

“Yes.”

Ye Yao was being completely unreasonable, ignoring Luo Jianhua’s attempt at distinction.

Family is family.

It was the same even in a parallel world.

The system has already certified it, do you still think you can run away?

“…I’ll call you Sister then.”

The older Luo Jianhua let out a relieved sigh.

“So it was all a misunderstanding. Were the mentors beaten up like that to stand up for me? Thank you…”

This was the first time she had met someone so concerned about her mental health.

Others were more focused on her improvements in strength.

Sure, some had paid attention to her mental state, but they could never see anything wrong.

And facing this little girl who seemed capable of mind-reading, Luo Jianhua couldn’t pretend anymore. She could only reveal her true self.

Facing Ye Yao, the older Luo Jianhua didn’t have to bear any pressure, nor did she have to meet the heavy expectations of others.

It seemed like she only needed to do as Ye Yao said: forget everything and just be an ordinary little sister.

“How enviable…”

The older Luo Jianhua murmured.

“What are you envious of?”

Ye Yao didn’t use the system to read her mind.

“I’m envious of Little Luo in the story, that she had met such a gentle big sister early on, while I’m just a stranger stealing her family.”

“What are you mumbling about? You are both my wings! If I don’t show favoritism, I’ll top you to death!”

Like a domineering CEO, Ye Yao pulled the girl into her arms and ruthlessly petted her head.

What’s this about stealing?

She could transform from one Yao into three cats!

How could there not be enough?

One for you, one for me! Everyone gets a share!

Even if it was a parallel world, it wasn’t like she couldn’t stay here permanently.

She never said she would leave forever after achieving her goal.

And this parallel world’s timeline is three years ahead!

With so many new games and anime to catch up on, she wouldn’t have time to finish it all.

This world is basically perfect for slacking off!

Luo Jianhua still didn’t know her well enough.

But that was fine. There would be plenty of time for her to learn.

“Stop overthinking and forget the Countermeasures Bureau. From now on, you’re my person.

What ‘second Lou Wei’?

To me, you are Luo Jianhua. You are my little sister.

If anyone tries to take you back, I wouldn’t mind beating them into a pulp again.”

Hearing this, Luo Jianhua muttered softly.

“Do I have the right to refuse?”

【Luo Jianhua has decided to entrust herself to you. She firmly believes that you can solve all problems, just like the Little Yao in the story】

Saying one thing but meaning another.

Ye Yao snorted lightly.

“No! If you refuse, I will destroy the world. You know I have that ability.”

“Isn’t that the reason used in the story too? Sister is so lazy… but, it’s really effective. Since Sister says so, I can only obey.”

Although Ye Yao’s words also carried a sense of imposing expectations, Luo Jianhua felt an exceptional warmth.

This feeling was great. It was something she had never experienced in the Countermeasures Bureau.

Through Ye Yao’s blunt talk therapy, Luo Jianhua finally opened her heart and stopped suppressing her emotions.

Although she was still somewhat reserved, she had already started embracing the identity of “little sister”, actively hugging Ye Yao’s petite frame to bask in this warmth that shouldn’t have existed.

“Sister, what did you mean by ‘top to death’ just now?”

Ye Yao had just been basking in the joy of the “successful conquest” when her expression stiffened.

Oh no!

She couldn’t help making a dirty joke upon seeing Luo Jianhua all grown up.

Judging by her reaction, she didn’t seem to know these strange internet slangs.

After all, her daily life consisted of nothing but training.

“Uh… it probably… probably means a very intimate action.”

“Then, can Sister try topping me? Isn’t Little Luo in the story often close to sister?”

The curiosity in Luo Jianhua’s eyes was becoming hard to contain.

It turned out she didn’t want to fall behind the Little Luo in the story.

She also wanted to be even closer to this angelic sister.

Ye Yao fell silent.

“Little Luo, let’s join the Magical Girl activity tomorrow. I’ll introduce you to someone.”

“Huh? What’s that? Why is Sister changing the subject?”

“Never mind that.”

On the dark and windy night.

The explosive clash of abilities in the suburban residence couldn’t be concealed.

The Countermeasures Bureau’s monitoring equipment, which had been upgraded over three years, quickly detected that massive surge of mental power.

“What the hell was that noise? Send someone to check it out!”

“This energy level is extremely high! Those involved are likely beyond A-rank Espers!”

“Could this be a hideout of those runaway innate Sequence Espers?”

“Hurry! Report to headquarters and dispatch an S-rank Esper! They mustn’t escape!”

At the same time.

Headquarters received the latest news.

A hideout of runaway innate Sequence Espers?

Such a coincidence?

Ye Ge had just appeared, and now a hideout was exposed?

Parallel Fu Qi quickly contacted Parallel Lou Wei.

“Lou Wei, go check it out. I’ll guard headquarters.

Ye Ge is important, but those runaway innate Sequence Espers can’t be ignored either.

Bring them back. It shouldn’t take much time.”

Parallel Lou Wei nodded.

“Alright.”

The next moment.

A great wind swept over the capital.

Parallel Lou Wei decided to take care of this as a side task.
