Esper X Family – Chapter 557 – A Trivial Matter

“So it’s not true?”

Parallel Tu Sheng realized that she had been tricked when she heard Ye Yao’s satisfied voice.

“I knew you had a bit of a mischievous streak, but I didn’t expect you to joke about something like this.”

“Why do I hear disappointment in your voice?”

Now it was Ye Yao’s turn to be confused.

Parallel Tu Sheng: “Do you?”

Ye Yao fell into brief thought, trying to figure out how to expose the other party.

“Actually, according to the trajectory of the other world, you should be my older cousin.”

“So you’re my younger cousin. That’s still relatively close.”

Parallel Tu Sheng made a satisfied sound, as if she had obtained the answer she wanted.

At the same time, a system notification chimed in Ye Yao’s mind.

【Family recognition successful. Reward: 5 attribute points.】

Hehehe, now that we’re family, whether you want to speak your mind is no longer up to you~

A quick glance at the info, and I’ll decide for myself!

【Tu Sheng feels a little regretful. If the other world’s her were your “toy”, perhaps this world’s version would also receive a proportional amount of special favor like Luo Jianhua and Mo Qiuli. She thinks that it would be interesting.】

Disgusting!

Isn’t being cousins enough for you?

You really are Xia Lian’s rival!

Ye Yao didn’t dare to expose her on the spot.

Better not encourage her.

Since Parallel Tu Sheng didn’t know that Ye Yao could “read minds”, she could probably glean more interesting thoughts first.

“Now that you know some of the truth, are you going to tell anyone?”

“No, I won’t.”

Parallel Tu Sheng answered decisively, betraying the Countermeasures Bureau without hesitation.

“Oh? I might have destroyed my original world before I got here. I might destroy this one as well.”

“Based on recent intel, I don’t think you’re that cold-blooded. If you had really destroyed a world before, you wouldn’t be having this much fun here.”

“You talk like you know me so well.”

Ye Yao huffed, unconvinced.

“I don’t. That’s just my personal opinion. If possible, I’d like to know you from the beginning. Want to stick around and talk for a while?”

“No, I don’t.”

Ye Yao refused Parallel Tu Sheng’s invitation like a Sigma Loli ¹ It really is Sigma Loli in the raws… 西格玛萝莉xigema luoli… Anyway, here’s an unrelated Gigachad Cheshire I made. .

Did she not know what the other party was thinking?

She just wanted to ask about the other world’s situation to satisfy her curiosity, and through contact and conversation, further trigger the effects of【Cause and Effect】.

In a more twisted sense, she wanted to use her status as the older cousin to get close to her younger cousin and see if the vessel of the world-destroying ability was truly that terrifying.

In the original timeline, Tu Sheng’s shattered abilities had only been restored for a few months, which was not a long time.

That was just enough time to adjust to the inability to observe everything.

But in the parallel world, Tu Sheng’s abilities had been shattered for three years.

Three years of blindness. Once nearly omniscient, able to observe anything as she wished, she had shattered her own ability in pursuit of truth.

Those three years had built up a terrifying thirst for knowledge.

She was practically one request away from asking Ye Yao to be her “eyes”.

But in the end, Parallel Tu Sheng didn’t make that request.

“I’m so jealous. A world with you in it must be so much more vibrant.

What the other me gave up was rewarded. What I gave up feels like a joke.”

Her tone carried a hint of melancholy.

Logically, the original world Tu Sheng’s sacrifice was a great achievement.

She had not only located the world-destroying ability but also participated in the historic moment that changed the world’s course.

Meanwhile, Parallel Tu Sheng had brought her troubles upon herself. Other than a small sense of relief, she had gained nothing.

Many high-ranking officials of the Countermeasures Bureau found it baffling.

After all, Parallel Tu Sheng’s official reason was overuse of her ability.

It was just another example of the disparity between worlds.

“Whatever. Who says you got nothing?

No one other than you could have guessed where I came from.

Stand proud. You are amazing ² . In some ways, you are even more amazing than the Dayun Truck.”

Ye Yao immediately performed an Attribute Fission, raising her mental power to a level that could customize someone’s stats.

With the number of family members she had recognized in this parallel world, “Shared Hardship” was enough to cover the burden.

“And your greatest gain is to receive my reward.”

Without another word, Ye Yao repaired Parallel Tu Sheng’s shattered ability.

She had also cured her eyes.

Then, she ended the Attribute Fission and let out a breath.

“Call me Miracle Doctor Ye!”

“Huh?”

Parallel Tu Sheng seemed to sense something. Her hands trembled slightly as she removed the gauze from her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, the light felt harsh and unfamiliar. Like a computer rebooting, it was slightly unreal.

But this wasn’t conventional medical treatment, so no complicated recovery process was needed.

After a moment of adjustment, the person who had been blind for three years could see again!

Parallel Tu Sheng’s clear eyes reflected Ye Yao’s small figure.

White hair, purple eyes, delicate and lovely features, as well as gorgeous magical girl outfit… It all left an unforgettable first impression on Parallel Tu Sheng.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

“…I see you. No wonder Xiao Jing said she wanted to raise you like a daughter. You really are adorable.”

“Huh? That’s the first thing you say after regaining your sight? I thought you’d be more excited.”

“Do you want me to hug you and cry my eyes out? I could do that, actually. I just need a moment to work up the emotion.”

“No thanks. That sounds way too corny.”

Ye Yao muttered.

【Successfully restored a disabled family member’s sight. Familial Love value greatly increased. Reward: 20 attribute points.】

【Unallocated attribute points: 50】

It’s so satisfying to farm attribute points over and over again.

The same event can be farmed in another world.

That’s why parallel worlds are treasure troves.

Yin Yi’s value just keeps rising!

“I’m out. You should keep pretending to be blind. Don’t get in the way of my money-mak— I mean, don’t mess up your Brother Ye’s plan. If you get found out, just say it’s a magical girl’s miracle. I give you permission to blame everything on me.”

Ye Yao prepared to take off.

She had accomplished what she came for.

She had confirmed Parallel Tu Sheng’s guess and fulfilled the original Tu Sheng’s little scheme.

On top of that, she had farmed some attribute points as well.

Although she wanted to top Parallel Tu Sheng, the woman seemed like she might fall apart at any moment, like the fragility of legendary skeleton soldiers.

She was afraid that one small top might just turn into a murder case.

Parallel Tu Sheng was still too fragile.

“Can’t you stay a little longer? I want to look at you a few more times.”

Parallel Tu Sheng stared intently at Ye Yao’s figure with her newly restored eyes, as if committing every detail to memory.

“Being on the receiving end of your favor is rare. Now I understand why others are so devoted to you. It really is warm… And addictive.”

“Hmph. A magical girl’s help isn’t unlimited. Even if you’re my older cousin in a parallel world, you can’t just ask for anything.”

“Can you at least let me know your name?” Parallel Tu Sheng lowered her request.

“My name is Ye Yao. You’re not allowed to tell anyone.”

After satisfying that request, Ye Yao returned the way she came.

Back in the original world, fission body Ye Yao told the whole story to Tu Sheng.

Tu Sheng: “That easily? I thought you’d tease her a bit more.”

“Tch. You’re not qualified. Too weak.”

With one sentence, Ye Yao double-killed both of them, embodying the true beauty of a metaslave.
