Esper X Family – Chapter 562 – Everything Is Ready

Something is wrong.

Very, very wrong.

Parallel Fu Qi had the nagging feeling that his old friend might have finally snapped.

“What exactly did he do up in space? Did he actually find some kind of trump card capable of countering Ye Ge?”

To be honest, he could no longer see through this old friend of his.

He had probably been left far, far behind.

Parallel Fu Qi let out a soft sigh and urgently contacted Lullaby.

Although several days had passed and the Magical Girl Alliance wouldn’t stay at their headquarters forever, at least formal contact had been established. It was roughly the equivalent of a friendly exchange phase.

Moreover, Xiao Jing seemed to be getting along with them quite well.

There was almost no sense of distance between them. Anyone who didn’t know better would think that she had been turned against the Countermeasures Bureau.

All things considered, things were steadily moving in a positive direction.

Parallel Fu Qi was confident that he would eventually earn Lullaby’s trust and get her to reveal more key intelligence.

But time was not on his side.

In less than a week, his old friend was going to go all out and start a war with Ye Ge.

This was clearly abnormal.

Parallel Fu Qi felt that he had to do something.

Otherwise, his old friend would die on the battlefield without any meaningful contribution.

A short while later.

Ye Yao came alone to see Parallel Fu Qi, still dressed in her pure white, magnificent outfit.

“Magical Girl Lullaby, reporting for duty! Is there something you need my help with?”

Hearing this energetic, spirited entrance line, Parallel Fu Qi couldn’t help but feel dazed.

No matter how he looked at it, after getting to know this girl a little better, it was impossible to associate her with that Ye Ge.

She simply didn’t seem like a character from the same world.

“I have some bad news for you. Our combatant is about to engage Ye Ge in battle. It was the same man you defeated in the skies over the island nation the other day.”

“Huh? How dare he? He couldn’t even beat me.”

Ye Yao asked, even if she already knew the answer.

Parallel Fu Qi hesitated, then couldn’t be bothered to save face for Parallel Lou Wei anymore.

“If possible, please spare his life from Ye Ge’s hands. His current state is very abnormal… Maybe the pressure has gotten to him.”

“Leave it to me! Our Magical Girl Alliance are professionals when it comes to saving people! Not even Ye Ge can harm an innocent!”

Ye Yao staged the whole performance herself.

“Then I’m counting on you.”

Parallel Fu Qi had set aside his dignity as the Countermeasures Bureau director.

After all, this little kid’s combat power was genuinely terrifying.

Only she could stand on equal footing with Ye Ge.

There was no shame in a weaker person bowing to a stronger one, especially for a one-sided favor, even if she was a Magical Girl.

As the white-haired girl flew away, Parallel Fu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With her watching over things, nothing too disastrous should happen.

His old friend’s style of operation was far too extreme.

So extreme that even Parallel Fu Qi couldn’t keep up or coordinate.

If the pace were just a little more normal, he could fight alongside Parallel Lou Wei.

“How did it come to this? I haven’t dreamed any more of those scenes the past few days. Will Ye Ge really destroy the world in the end?”

Parallel Fu Qi frowned deeply, feeling a strong sense of incongruity, yet unable to figure out where the problem lay.

All he knew was that the situation would probably become even more chaotic from now on.

Back inside the painting world, Ye Yao started tinkering with her system.

During these boring days, she had dug deeper into the system’s functions.

Ever since the Found Family System upgraded, Ye Yao hadn’t really explored its other features. All her attention had been focused on the new entries related to the world-destroying ability.

But after some exploration, she discovered that the Found Family System actually had some very useful functions.

For example, “Family Record”. It could record interesting scenes and then share them with other family members in the family panel, presumably to strengthen familial bonds through sharing.

It fit the Found Family System’s purpose perfectly. Any feature that served the family could reasonably exist.

Ye Yao also discovered that this function could even be used for livestreaming!

The only downside was that only family members in the panel could see it, and no one else could.

It was a pity that she couldn’t crush Sen Tong’s domain.

Anyway, Ye Yao figured that she could manually transmit events happening in the parallel world back to the original timeline.

It might not be a bad idea to let the weakling Lou Wei from the original world see how embarrassing his parallel counterpart could be.

Besides that.

Ye Yao found another function.

“Emergency SOS”. It seems that it could consume attribute points to call on family members for reinforcements, giving it some sort of a summoning function.

But Ye Yao thought that this feature was a bit useless.

She had already ascended to godhood. Did she really need reinforcements?

If anything, many of the Found Family System’s features were more for entertainment, mostly designed to serve familial relationships.

She would test out the Family Record function first. Perhaps she could use it in her upcoming plan.

“Hmm, Family Record seems to let me share scenes I’ve witnessed with my family. I’ll use Weakling Xia Lian as the test subject.”

A mischievous idea immediately popped into Ye Yao’s head.

At the same time.

Back in the original timeline.

Inside the painting world.

Xia Lian watched as Yi Ling projected one bizarre-looking monster after another, while Sen Tong practiced her special camera angles off to the side. She felt that this kind of pastime wasn’t bad either.

Occasionally, she could go over to cuddle with White Catty, which felt even better.

The only pity was that her White Cattium reserves had dropped significantly recently.

There used to be three White Catties, but two had mysteriously disappeared, leaving only one permanently stationed at the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters. To sate her addiction, she would have to travel quite a distance.

Luckily, there were plenty of tempting “kittens” around White Catty, so she could still get her fill in one go.

And just then, Xia Lian suddenly saw a strange scene.

In the scene, someone who looked like her was radiating murderous intent as she launched an attack on Ye Ge. Then, while shouting the word “kill” over and over again, she made it clear that she would stop at nothing to put the other party in the grave.

Xia Lian was completely dumbfounded.

This didn’t look like a fantasy. It was more like a crystal-clear documentary playing before her eyes.

Xia Lian immediately panicked.

“That’s not me! That’s slander! Why would I ever attack White Catty?! Even if it’s the big black cat, I still love her just the same! Who’s setting me up?!”

Hiss!

Only hissing at thin air could convey just how frantic Xia Lian was right now.

Not far away, Yi Ling and Sen Tong couldn’t help but glance over.

“What is she doing?”

“I don’t know. But Master said she would occasionally lose her mind, so don’t worry about it.”

Inside the Countermeasures Bureau dormitory.

Fission body Ye Yao nodded in satisfaction when she heard news of Xia Lian’s “paranormal event”.

The effect wasn’t bad.

“White Catty, did you also see the scene I described?” Xia Lian’s voice was a little tense.

Of course, she still had no idea what Ye Yao had been up to in the parallel world.

“I saw it.” Fission body Ye Yao replied flatly.

“Huh!?”

Weakling Xia Lian immediately began to defend herself.

“White Catty, my love for you is clear for all to see!

Whether in the past, present, or future, I would never attack you!

Someone is definitely framing me!

When I find the bastard who’s pretending to be me in that scene, I will absolutely kill them!”

Ye Yao was a little speechless.

Could you even win?

“Alright, alright. I’m not suspecting you. That’s it. Bye.”

As the call ended, the white-haired girl’s expression turned somewhat expectant.

Everything was ready.

Wasn’t it just the Vengeful Spirit and Parallel Dayun Truck’s thrilling combo move?

You guys are the challengers here!

Author Note

It’s not an act. With my mental state, physical condition, intelligence, sex life, interpersonal skills, lifestyle, life experience, independence, and financial situation, I definitely deserve to celebrate Children’s Day.
