Esper X Family – Chapter 533 – Accidentally Forgot

Ye Ge silently returned to the rooftop of the older Mo Qiuli’s home.

In this parallel world, there was no Countermeasures Bureau dormitory, nor the super-sized duplex penthouse she had bought, so she would have to make do for now.

Fission body Ye Yao shed the Ye Ge disguise once more and re-entered the painting world.

“All done. I helped you move. The old place isn’t safe anymore; the Countermeasures Bureau will probably investigate it soon.”

No one had any major objections to that.

Except for parallel Jiang Huashen, who wore a slightly odd expression.

“Did you forget something? Where’s Mu Luo?”

“Ah, accidentally forgot! But it’s probably fine. Let’s leave him be for now.”

It wasn’t really an accident.

Given parallel Mu Luo’s survival instincts, he was definitely still safely wriggling around in some dark corner.

Even Lou Wei would have a hard time catching him.

Leaving him outside for a while wouldn’t matter.

She would bring him back once he realized how important his companions were.

Otherwise, he would just keep obsessing over the Countermeasures Bureau’s restricted zones all day.

Regular junglers would at least occasionally feed their starving teammates.

So why was this mysterious wriggly guy only focused on jungling?

The teammates back home were getting thinner!

The older An Qi could sense Ye Yao’s resentment toward parallel Mu Luo.

It was the kind of anger directed at someone who hadn’t shouldered his responsibilities.

“Actually, Big Brother Mu Luo isn’t so bad. He comes back now and then to help me send letters to my grandmother. That’s helped ease how much I miss her.”

The older Wu Mi also nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, he brings me comics and books too. Thanks to him, I’ve been able to hold on this long.”

Yin Yi acknowledged the change in parallel Mu Luo.

“Compared to before, he really does care more about us now.”

“Is that so?”

Ye Yao blinked and looked over at parallel Xia Lian.

The girl stood tall, her chest puffed out with pride.

“I beat that into him.”

Impressive .

The mysterious cat-loving girl had beaten responsibility into parallel Mu Luo for the sake of the “cats” at home.

No wonder she had risen to S-rank within three years.

Turns out she had been pushing herself nonstop just to teach that stubborn parallel Mu Luo a lesson.

She had become an S-rank Esper without any external resources, relying solely on her own training.

She really is a genius, huh?

So, here was the question:

After being corrected by parallel Xia Lian, did parallel Mu Luo become a good big brother?

Not a chance!

What kind of good brother spends all his time wriggling around outside?

Parallel Xia Lian’s fists were still too slow, and not nearly vicious enough!

“Anyway, you all rest tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll take you all to do something big.”

Ye Yao automatically claimed the seat of “family head”.

Naturally, parallel Xia Lian had no objections.

“What about the Countermeasures Bureau? They’re the reason I haven’t dared go find inspiration outside.”

Parallel Jiang Huashen mentioned it.

Not that he needed to wander around spending time looking for inspiration anymore.

The painting《Tong Yao》that Ye Yao had lent him was a true masterpiece. Just a single glance at it could trigger an explosion of inspiration.

And that was before he could fully understand it.

Once he did, it might even be possible for him to advance to S-rank in a short time!

Naturally, Ye Yao had generously lent her prized collection to this parallel world’s Jiang Huashen.

This guy is a goldmine of attribute points!

As long as she let him study the painting, attribute points would keep flowing in.

Especially since it was the work of Old Jiang himself.

Like the left foot stepping on the right foot to ascend into the sky ¹ Fictional Wuxia technique where your left foot steps on your right to generate force that lifts you mid-air. Basically pulling yourself up by the bootstraps. , understand?

“The Countermeasures Bureau? A mere speed bump. Even if Lou Wei himself showed up, I’d still run him over. The only reason I haven’t is because it’s not necessary.”

Ye Yao’s dominance was fully on display!

If anyone else had said that, the others might have thought it was a joke.

But coming from Ye Yao, who had already conquered another parallel world… it actually seemed perfectly reasonable.

“Just rest well. I’ll protect you. I guarantee that no one will disturb you.”

Parallel Lou Wei returned to Countermeasures Bureau headquarters and quickly found parallel Fu Qi.

He immediately explained the situation, including the inexplicable lip movements of Ye Ge.

“𝚏𝚞 𝚚𝚒𝚗? What does that mean?”

Parallel Fu Qi looked completely lost.

Parallel Lou Wei was also deep in thought.

“I might have misread it. It could also be ‘𝚏𝚞 𝚚𝚒’. Maybe she was referring to you.”

“Really? Me?”

Parallel Fu Qi didn’t doubt Lou Wei’s observation.

At least for the combination of words derived from “𝚏𝚞 𝚚𝚒𝚗”, there was no obvious connection to Ye Ge.

It couldn’t possibly be “father”, could it?

How?

Parallel Lou Wei had dedicated his entire life to the country. He had no so-called family.

Parallel Fu Qi was the same, planning to retire before starting a family.

Neither of them had ever become a father.

So, the lip movement must have been “𝚏𝚞 𝚚𝚒”. Only the name “Fu Qi” matched most closely, with the strongest connection.

But why would Ye Ge say “𝚏𝚞 𝚚𝚒” to Lou Wei?

Parallel Fu Qi couldn’t figure it out at all.

“She already one-shot me like a stray dog. Why would she still be thinking about me?”

Parallel Lou Wei said, “Let’s have everyone else think it over. Many hands make light work.”

Soon, many of the higher-ups learned about the matter.

Including parallel Tu Sheng, who had been working on some hypotheses.

“𝚏𝚞 𝚚𝚒? 𝚏𝚞 𝚚𝚒𝚗? Could it be ‘father’? This is getting interesting.”

Parallel Tu Sheng didn’t plan to share her guess with anyone.

She just hoped that Ye Ge would come find her soon.

And then… they could have an honest, heart-to-heart talk.

One night passed.

Officers from the Countermeasures Bureau quickly searched the residence where Ye Ge was suspected to have been.

Inside, they found traces of the fugitive innate Sequence Espers’ stay.

Some paintings left behind, simple non-perishable food, various daily necessities…

It seemed that the Monitoring Department’s initial guess had been correct. This had indeed been a hideout for the runaway Sequence Espers.

Only, it wasn’t just those “rats” hiding out here. They had also been involved with the extremely heavyweight figure: “Ye Ge”.

That made things quite headache-inducing.

How had they even been involved?

Could it be that some mysterious wriggly guy had once abducted a young Ye Ge and brought her back?

Rеaԁ on ΚatReαⅾiոgCafе

They would be in trouble then.

With Ye Ge protecting those innate Sequence Espers, how could the Countermeasures Bureau ever contain them?

An even more serious problem was… could the restricted zones still be considered safe?

As unease spread among the group, the sky began to lighten.

Ye Yao brought breakfast back for the older Luo Jianhua and the Sequence Zero family members.

A beautiful day starts with “jungling” to feed the family.

Ye Yao felt like a mother bird finding food for her chicks that had just hatched.

The chicks couldn’t easily hunt on their own, so she alone had to find food to fill everyone’s stomachs.

But that was fine.

Even though she had no money on her, she could borrow some from the older Mo Qiuli.

She had left the residence too quickly last time and hadn’t brought any cash.

It looked like she would have to live off someone else’s kindness for now.

Ye Yao had a solid moral bottom line. She wouldn’t casually break the law.

Of course, her moral bottom line could also be flexible, depending on whether someone jumped in her face.

And soon enough.

Ye Yao brought the older Mo Qiuli into the painting world, further forming the parallel-world version of the Magical Girl Alliance.

“This is our Magical Girl Alliance’s secret base. Come on, let’s change this world fiercely – in the name of love!”
