Esper X Family – Chapter 550 – Is It Too Late to Get Into Magical Girls?

Ye Yao was dumbfounded.

The system hadn’t mentioned that it was a passive ability.

But she adapted quickly.

It didn’t matter.

Overwhelming stats were the reason for dominance. Ye Yao didn’t care about sudden events.

Besides, it wasn’t【Cause and Effect MAX】, not nearly enough to throw Ye Yao into a panic.

Strengthening the connection probably meant making her presence a little more noticeable.

For example, it might help the vengeful spirits drifting outside time and space to sense her coordinates more clearly, then slowly crawl their way over. That just meant she could relax a bit until then.

No need to understand, no need to study, and certainly no need to prepare.

That was the confidence of a stat monster!

“Sequence Zero is on the right track too. Letting them try to stay active on their own isn’t a bad idea. I’ll step back to backline duty!”

After all, with all this non-stop work lately, everyone’s strength had skyrocketed.

Especially Parallel Gu and Parallel Jiang, their mental power had shot up like a rocket.

The former had a ton of “little cookies” to harvest, farming minions to his heart’s content. It was easy for the desert dog-head ¹ Nasus from League of Legends. One of his skills gets stronger the more enemies he kills with it. to evolve into the desert death god.

The latter had a masterpiece painting to study, providing an endless stream of inspiration, seemingly making him high every single day.

As for the others, it didn’t really matter.

As long as parallel Lou Wei and parallel Fu Qi didn’t show up in person, no one could do anything to them.

If Ye Yao wanted, she could even directly replicate the original world’s operations under the identity of Ye Ge, having the Countermeasures Bureau arrange proper identities for the members of Sequence Zero.

But the timing wasn’t right yet.

Ye Yao wanted to keep pretending to be a world-destroying big boss for a while longer. She couldn’t let people lose their sense of urgency that quickly.

After all, without pressure, where would the motivation come from?

Just keep acting!

“They should be about ready to come knocking on Little Mo’s door, right? Guess I do need to make some preparations.”

At the same time.

In a certain young girl’s room.

Three girls were gathered around a small table for a meeting.

Ye Yao looked serious.

“This is the Nth meeting of the Magical Girl Alliance. If I’m not wrong, Little Mo’s identity as a magical girl has already been exposed.”

The older Mo Qiuli looked shocked: “How could this be!? I hid it so well! And don’t we have Little Luo’s recognition inhibition magic?”

“Wake up, recognition inhibition magic isn’t omnipotent. Didn’t Little Mo leave a file with the Countermeasures Bureau? It’s pretty easy to connect the dots, right?”

“Uh…”

The older Mo Qiuli wasn’t the type to be in denial about reality.

She could also realize that using the alias “Morning Star” for “Mercury” was kind of a flimsy cover.

If anything, it was incredible that she had managed to stay undiscovered for so long.

Now that Ye Yao had pointed it out, she had to face the issue head-on.

“What do we do? Should we tell the adults?”

The older Mo Qiuli was a bit lacking in confidence.

After returning to reality, she had gradually realized that the Magical Girl Alliance’s recent actions had been a little too big.

Not only had they caused a huge scene in the island nation, but they had also smashed the Countermeasures Bureau’s “ceiling” to pieces.

If they were discovered, the life of “Mo Qiuli” would probably be over.

【Mo Qiuli is worried about getting scolded and is feeling uneasy】

Ye Yao glanced at the older Mo Qiuli’s inner thoughts and almost laughed.

She really had such a simple way of thinking.

If it were anyone else with that much power, they would probably have stopped eating beef ² It’s been quite a while since the last explanation of this one so I’ll explain again. Long story short, the origin is from a villain who said “I don’t eat beef” and started shooting everyone on scene. It’s been turned into a meme about being invincible and not caring about anything. long ago.

But the older Mo Qiuli was still worried about getting told off.

It just proved that she was kind at heart. No wonder her dream was to become a magical girl.

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle the confrontation. I’m invincible!”

Ye Yao took responsibility with a sweep of her arm, a true leader in name and deed!

The older Mo Qiuli immediately looked at her with admiration.

“That’s our Lullaby! Don’t worry, I’ll get scolded with you. The Magical Girl Alliance stands together!”

The older Luo Jianhua: “Do I have to get scolded too?”

“Yes!”

The older Mo Qiuli grabbed both girls with one hand each and pressed her cheek affectionately against theirs. It was enough proof of how deep the Magical Girl Alliance’s friendship had grown during this time.

Even though they had only known each other for less than half a month, their bond rivaled that of the Oath of the Peach Garden ³ Three Kingdoms reference. It’s the moment when Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei became sworn brothers. .

Magical girls are truly amazing, right?

Ye Yao felt the softness and warmth of the girl’s cheek against hers.

“Let’s rest for a while. Magical girl activities shouldn’t be like a job. We need some balance between work and relaxation.”

“Mm-hmm! Ye Yao is the leader. It’s up to whatever the leader decides.”

The older Mo Qiuli had been enjoying herself more than she ever had, anyway.

What could be more satisfying than forming a magical girl trio and doing heroic deeds together?

No need to hold back at all.

According to Ye Yao, even her counterpart in the other world hadn’t experienced this.

Now that was being way ahead.

It proved that she wasn’t a substitute for anyone in Ye Yao’s heart!

“Little Mo, just be prepared to have the adults come knocking. As long as we haven’t shown up in the island nation for a day, they’ll probably come looking.”

Ye Yao gave a reminder.

“Leave it to me. I’d never sell out Ye Yao and Little Luo. I won’t say a word even if they beat me up!”

The older Mo Qiuli pounded her chest with a solemn promise.

“I give you permission to sell me out.”

“Huh?”

“It’s fine if my existence gets exposed. It’s about time for some direct contact anyway.”

Ye Yao was actually looking forward to it a little.

Would anyone hiss at her?

Rеаⅾ оո КаtRеaԁiոɡСafе

She would definitely have to find a way to record the scene.

The next day.

The activation of the【Cause and Affect】trait didn’t disrupt Ye Yao’s rhythm.

If anything, it felt like nothing had happened at all. Maybe she would just have to wait and see.

Time passed slowly.

During the hours when the Magical Girl Alliance was usually active, they didn’t appear in the island nation. It was like they were on vacation.

Of course, parallel Fu Qi wasn’t about to let this opportunity slip.

“Lou Wei, you hold down the headquarters. I’ll go myself.”

“Okay.”

Parallel Lou Wei didn’t object.

He knew full well that Fu Qi was more suited for this.

After all, they had just clashed recently.

If they met face-to-face with their real identities, the situation would probably be extremely awkward.

Besides, there was another reason parallel Fu Qi had volunteered.

He was worried that a certain someone’s lion-like way of speaking would ruin everything.

It had to be parallel Fu Qi.

A while later.

The older Mo Qiuli, who was resting at home, suddenly received a notification from the Countermeasures Bureau.

“Huh? They want me to report to the base? Some big shot wants to see me?”

She wasn’t surprised.

It was just as expected, exactly as Ye Yao had said!

Rеαd on КαtRеaⅾіnɡCαfе

The girl Mo Qiuli immediately got up and prepared.

She was no longer the girl who had abandoned her dreams.

Now that she had truly come back to life, she naturally had the courage to face anything.

“Ye Yao, Little Luo, I’m heading out.”

“Go. If necessary, I’ll step in.”

Ye Yao wasn’t worried at all.

She would be waiting outside anyway, ready to throw a heavy punch at any moment.

The older Mo Qiuli just had to do her best.

If she messed up, worst case, the older Luo Jianhua could use “Mirror Flower, Water Moon” and start over.

Countermeasures Bureau branch base.

Parallel Fu Qi had rushed to the destination using his ability alone, without even taking a plane. That was enough to show how seriously he took this matter.

“Sigh. I just hope it’s not Ye Ge who comes to see me.”

She didn’t exactly look like someone you could have a conversation with. Only Lullaby seemed like a possible candidate for discussion.

Time crawled for parallel Fu Qi.

Then his assistant’s voice reached his ears.

“Director, Mo Qiuli has arrived at the base.”

“Good.”

She’s finally here.

Parallel Fu Qi just wanted to know how Mo Qiuli had ended up getting together with Lullaby.

It couldn’t really be that they were both magical girl fans, could it?

If that was the case… was it still too late to get into magical girls?

Author Note

It’s still a long way from being completed. At my current pace, I should be able to write for another two or three months with no problems.
