Esper X Family – Chapter 593 – Your Magic Is In the Way

Lou Weiwei is an interesting person.

If you asked her whether she was socially dead or if she had lost her mind, she would just say that she had won.

And she even subconsciously flashed an extremely uncharacteristic thunderous smile!

If Ye Yao didn’t capture that smile and show it to her supporting fans, it would be a tremendous loss.

Down below.

The large screen that had just disappeared reappeared.

It showed the heartwarming scene of Magical Girl Lullaby welcoming the victorious Crimson Wheel and Void Heaven.

It looked just like a warm moment of a junior greeting her seniors.

It only reinforced the belief that Crimson Wheel and Void Heaven were the ones who brought Lullaby and the others into the magical girl world.

In other words, they were like teachers or mothers!

“Look, Crimson Wheel-chan smiled! So cute! Ah Wei is dead ¹ AWSL is usually short for 啊，我死了a, wo si le (ah, I died), mostly used as reaction to cute stuff. As for the ah wei version, it’s from a chinese drama where a character said 啊伟已经死了 (ah wei is already dead), implying that he’s no longer the old ah wei. !”

“Heavens! That Little Crimson Wheel who hasn’t shown any expression from the start can actually smile so warmly! I’m going to take a screenshot and make it my cover!”

“Who said the universe and the sun is cold? Doesn’t this smile feel just like a little sun?”

Meanwhile, the people at the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters were once again shocked after confirming that “Lou Weiwei” was actually the parallel Lou Wei from their memories.

“Was Lou Wei hypnotized?”

“It’s hard to imagine that he could show such a smile.”

A person who greatly admired parallel Lou Wei chuckled.

“Haha, fake, she must be a relative.”

“But if it wasn’t Lou Wei and the director, how could they have defeated such a powerful enemy?”

Parallel Xiao Jing didn’t join the discussion. Instead, she quickly took a photo of the scene with her phone, revealing a satisfied smile.

“If only we could take a family photo in that form. At least they’d look more pleasing to the eye.”

Space.

Ye Yao quickly reaped the “consequences” of her public execution.

【Thanks to your efforts, everyone saw another side of Lou Weiwei, making her more popular and contributing to family harmony. Reward: 20 attribute points.】

A smile is worth 20 attribute points?

Ye Yao suddenly felt a sense of deep respect.

You really are a precious adoptive father!

When will Standard Lou Wei ever learn?

Ye Yao had her fission body remind Sen Tong to turn off the screen again, as if the brief re-broadcast was only done for that one smile.

Maximum showing off.

As for the two magical girls who hadn’t yet undone their transformations, they had no idea what had just happened.

Parallel Lou Wei calmed her emotions again, no longer paying attention to the trivial matters on Bluestar. Instead, she looked at her adopted daughter, whose eyes were full of admiration.

“I made you worry.”

Ye Yao looked longingly at Crimson Wheel in her magical girl form.

“Father, your magic is in the way.”

Parallel Lou Wei paused for a moment.

She suddenly remembered a setting from the scroll: after transformation, there would be a passive magic called Solar Corona Light.

Its function is to provide all-around body protection, preventing surprise attacks from breaking through.

Of course, this passive can be deactivated.

Although she didn’t know what Ye Yao wanted to do, parallel Lou Wei deactivated the passive.

“Go ahead.”

No sooner had she spoken than the little white-haired girl threw herself into parallel Lou Wei’s arms. Only at this moment did she show the affection of a daughter for her father.

“You’re so warm. How about you just stay in this form forever, Father~”

Parallel Lou Wei was caught off guard.

What should she do in this situation?

She had no experience whatsoever!

But before parallel Lou Wei could be stunned for long, Ye Yao went over to hug the silver-gray haired girl beside her.

Parallel Fu Qi seemed to have already deactivated her passive body-protection magic.

It seemed that she had anticipated this.

“Uncle, you were amazing too! You worked hard!”

This was undoubtedly the comfort of family.

What else could parallel Fu Qi say?

She could only set aside the annoying matters and let out a breath.

Then she reached out to pat Ye Yao’s little head, doing her best to act like an elder.

“This is what we should do.”

No matter what, at least she was rapidly gaining favor with Ye Yao, and her progress was no less than that of the other world.

How could this not be a blessing in disguise?

“Well, now that it’s over, let’s go back first.”

Ye Yao pretended to let out a cheer.

“Hooray! Let’s go back and hold a celebration banquet!”

“We will.”

Forgot the beginning, forgot the middle. Anyway, the greatest achievement is engraved in the solar system.

Back on the ground.

Parallel Lou Wei and parallel Fu Qi finally deactivated the transformation effect of the scroll, returning to their reliable adult forms.

Fortunately, no one else was there.

Otherwise, seeing two beautiful, fair-skinned girls turn into grown men might have shattered some dreams.

Especially since they had just become the strongest duo, a sensation across the globe.

Ye Yao looked at the two who had returned to their original appearances and felt a bit regretful.

What’s wrong with Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi?

She didn’t mind having an extra mother and aunt.

What a pity.

Just as they returned to headquarters.

Parallel Fang Ze immediately came up to them.

“Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi? You two looked like you fought easily. Good thing you’re not hurt.”

Parallel Fu Qi’s face darkened instantly.

“You’ve mistaken us for someone else.”

Parallel Fang Ze feigned surprise.

“Oh, really? But the introduction on the screen just now said Fu Qiqi is the director of the Countermeasures Bureau. How many directors does our Countermeasures Bureau have?”

Parallel Fu Qi’s face turned even darker.

Damn All-Knowing Demon Eye!

How could it dox him to this extent?

It was practically calling him out by name!

And it just had to reveal his most sensitive identity!

“Then what about Lou Wei?”

“It said he’s the Light of the Countermeasures Bureau.”

Parallel Fang Ze’s face was full of teasing smiles.

He had been crushed by work that wasn’t even his lately.

Now that he finally found a chance to get back at his old friend, he was going to unleash his fury.

Parallel Fu Qi was filled with nothing but resentment.

Why was the introduction for parallel Lou Wei so vague, while his was so specific down to his job title?

It was over.

He could never clear his name now.

Parallel Fu Qi’s lips twitched.

“Fang Ze, I’ll leave my work to you for a while. I suffered some internal injuries fighting the interstellar overlord and need to rest. If anyone comes looking for me, just say I’m busy.”

Parallel Fang Ze: “?”

To be honest, he would rather take parallel Fu Qi’s place as a magical girl and go elbow the interstellar overlord!

Treating him like a workhorse!

Absolutely inhumane!

Just then, Ye Yao walked over to parallel Fang Ze, who was starting to question his life choices.

“Uncle, are you also secretly a magical girl?”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“Maybe your uncle was born a beast of burden. Beasts of burden don’t get to dream.”

“That sounds so miserable…”

Ye Yao felt a bit sorry for parallel Fang Ze.

Even in the parallel world, Old Ze had endless work. A natural-born beast of burden.

Ye Yao had initially thought about adding parallel Fang Ze to form a magical girl trio.

But seeing how busy he was, she felt bad about setting him up.

Poor Uncle~

Ye Yao bid goodbye to parallel Lou Wei.

“Father, I’m going to go chat with my friends. You must be very tired after defeating such a strong enemy. Get some good rest. We’ll hold the celebration banquet after you’ve rested.”

“Okay.”

Parallel Lou Wei had already calmed down.

His adopted daughter’s hug was enough to make him ignore his tarnished reputation.

He could probably even handle his colleagues’ teasing calmly from now on.

However, parallel Xiao Jing soon approached him.

“Can you still turn back into that form? I think we should try taking a family photo. Yes, as Lou Weiwei.”

“…”

“Any objections?”

“…No.”

Looking at parallel Xiao Jing’s calm smile, parallel Lou Wei admitted that he was sweating profusely.

My phone, which I’ve used for six years, runs out of power and shuts down within 30 minutes of being fully charged. It really needs to be replaced.

Text: Crying like a 500-ton Laifu ² 来福is a common pet name that literally means “bring fortune”, and apparently these kind of pets are treated as part of the family so they can bring fortune to the family, idk if thats true tho.
