Esper X Family – Chapter 602 – I’m Coming for You Tonight!
Ye Yao pulled out the photo they had taken at the wrap-up party earlier.
This was practically a collection of dark history for the whole extended family.
Lou Wei and Fu Qi couldn’t even appear in their original forms for the group shot. They had to show up as “Crimson Wheel” and “Void Heaven”.
Naturally, Ye Yao wasn’t spared either. Dressed in her Magical Girl costume, she stood right at the core, the undisputed center position.
Her greatness needed no explanation.
“Ahh~ it’s a decent memory, I guess. No use dwelling on it!”
Ye Yao shook her head and shifted her focus elsewhere.
But there was another key point.
This large-scale family event had actually given Ye Yao a total of 200 attribute points.
【Through your efforts, all the little families have set aside their past grievances and merged into a harmonious whole, participating together in a family activity full of understanding and affection. Reward: 200 attribute points.】
【Unallocated attribute points: 810】
The movie hadn’t even been released yet, and she had already gained so many rewards!
There would definitely be more gains later.
This was also one of the main reasons Ye Yao was in such a good mood.
Even if it was embarrassing, it was totally worth it!
“Starting the stream, starting the stream~”
As Ye Yao’s impromptu livestream went live.
A horde of bloodthirsty spectators flooded into the stream room.
“Just got here, where’s my Magical Girl Movie?”
“I’ve been waiting for over half a month! It should be out by now!”
“I’ve already watched the site story over a dozen times!”
“Only a dozen? Not loyal enough! Go watch it a few dozen more times!”
“Mama! Mama!”

Where did that Junior Brother Wa 1 Wa is short for the Chinese term for Valorant. Long story short, they did a study and found out that Valorant players treat women more respectfully than CS:GO players, which resulted in memes of Valorant players being submissive to women and being treated as the little brothers of the FPS community. come from? Kick him out!
Only Xing Lan had a legitimate reason to call her “Mom”.
Ye Yao cleared her throat lightly and organized her words.
“Ahem~ today’s stream is to tell you all that the Magical Girl Movie is pretty much finished. It should be hitting theaters pretty soon.”
Her words were clear and powerful, transmitted instantly through the livestream signal to countless screens around the world.
It was by no means just a simple announcement.
No one needed to give any orders.
Various media outlets and fan pages spontaneously began clipping and reposting segments of the stream.
#MagicalGirlMovieCompleted
#MysteriousStreamerYaoCattyOfficialAnnouncesImminentRelease
The related topics shot to the top of global social media trending charts at an astonishing speed.
Each one was followed by a red (EXPLOSIVE) tag.
Even Ye Yao couldn’t help but stare in disbelief after she ended the stream.
“Is it really necessary to go that crazy?”
Out of habit, Ye Yao went anonymous and browsed on various platforms.
It was incredibly lively, practically a full-blown carnival online.
“Heeheehee aaaaaah! It’s here, it’s finally here! My Magical Girl life-saving medicine is finally coming!!” (ID: DuoduoKing 2 Based on the other IDs, this one should also be a reference to one of the author’s previous novels. It’s quite unclear but through the process of elimination, this can only be《捡到濒危少女的我成了种族交际花》 )
“I’ve been waiting since the side story dropped. The days of watching the side story ten times a day are finally over! Just drop the official trailer already!” (ID: NightingaleIsntCooCoo 3 From the author’s previous novel《铁打的双子,磁铁打的反派小姐》. 夜莺ye ying can be translated as “Nightingale”. Unfortunately, this novel didn’t get popular so the author didn’t commission art for the mc. )
“Ten-year veteran fan here, I’ve had my eye on Magical Girl Lullaby for a long time. This time, can our Lullaby-sama claim the number one popularity spot?” (ID: TentacleIsNotWeakling 4 For no particular reason at all, I wanna remind you that the author’s pen name is Tentacle-san. )
“Let Crimson Wheel and Void Heaven see what a real Magical Girl looks like! Lullaby will definitely surpass all the other Magical Girls!” (ID: NightNightSky 5 From another one of the author’s previous novel《每天都是颓废摸鱼小城管》. The main character’s name is 夜空ye kong, which literally translates to “night sky”. )
“More Magical Girls! I’m supporting all of them!” (ID: NightNightTwins 6 From another of the author’s previous novel《转生反派王女也能成为团宠吗?》. The mc separated into 2 people, Ye Xing and Ye Lan.There is separate footnote that contains sus versions of the artwork so prepare yourself before you open it. 7 )

“A must-watch for manly men! I’ve got my ticket money ready, ready to charge at any moment! We’d win!” (ID: OtherworldLittleFox 8 Reference to yet another of the author’s past novel《正派团宠惊坐起反派竟是我自己》.The main character has multiple forms, including a cherry blossom form and a nine tailed fox form. )
Ye Yao had a strange expression on her face, like an old man looking at a smartphone 9 .
“Maybe I shouldn’t have promoted it at all. Why does it feel like I’m losing more than I’m gaining?”
But what was done was done, spilled water can’t be gathered back!
Ye Yao could only accept this explosive level of popularity and wait for the day the movie finally premiered.
As everyone eagerly awaited, the Countermeasures Bureau finally announced the official global simultaneous release date.
The moment the news broke, the internet seemed to experience a brief suffocation, followed by an even more violent eruption.
Ticket platforms around the world faced an unprecedented flood of traffic.
“Tickets are on sale! Tickets are on sale! Brothers, charge!”
“Holy crap! It froze! The page went white!”
“I’m in! I’m in! Damn! Why is everything gray?!”
“Gone in a second! I refreshed once and they’re all gone?! Are you guys living inside the servers?”
“YEAAAH! I got one!”
“Ugh! I can’t get one at all!”
Ye Yao looked at the report that read “Global First-Day Presale Box Office Breaks Records” and twitched the corner of her mouth.
“These guys… are they afraid of getting spoiled if they watch it too late? That’s some terrifying enthusiasm. You’re all here to see Lou Weiwei and Fu Qiqi, right?”
She had still underestimated her own drawing power.
Time flew by quickly.
Finally, the highly anticipated premiere day arrived.
Long lines snaked outside cinemas around the world, the atmosphere resembling a festive celebration.

Of course, Ye Yao also planned to watch the movie on this special day.
After Sen Tong finished producing it, she hadn’t viewed it in advance. She had saved it for this particular day.
So that she could watch it together with the rest of her “family”.
Inside the huge private theater, the atmosphere was somewhat peculiar.
Lou Wei and Fu Qi occupied the corner seats, seemingly trying to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible.
As if that would preserve even a shred of their dignity.
Xing Lan, the little fat bird, flew around in the air before finally landing on Ye Yao’s head, serving as a lively little mascot.
Tu Sheng sat to the side, curiously staring at the little white bird, clearly having already guessed its identity.
She didn’t dare use her ability to observe it, afraid that it would shatter again.
She had no idea how Ye Yao had managed it, but her boldness was simply unmatched.
Even Lou Wei wouldn’t dare to pull such a stunt.
Ye Yao picked up the popcorn she had prepared in advance and steeled herself to watch the whole thing with a straight face.
As long as she didn’t feel embarrassed, it would be everyone else who felt embarrassed!
If everyone suffered social death together, then no one actually suffered social death!
“Ye Yao, it’s starting, it’s starting! Our record of fighting side by side!”
Mo Qiuli was undoubtedly the most excited one.
At this moment, she was filled with gratitude toward Ye Yao, the kind that made her willing to dedicate her entire life.
After all, the Magical Girl Movie had been Mo Qiuli’s dream all along.
The fact that Ye Yao had taken it seriously and brought in so many warm and reliable adults to cooperate made her the best partner imaginable!
“Alright, alright, sit down properly.”
Ye Yao grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into Mo Qiuli’s mouth, then grabbed another handful and stuffed it into Fang Tang’s mouth as she leaned in.

As the lights dimmed, the massive screen lit up.
Ye Yao’s heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
When the visuals fully unfolded and she appeared on the big screen in that iconic Magical Girl outfit, striking that pose she herself found utterly mortifying…
“Pfft…”
Someone let out an extremely faint laugh in the darkness.
Already feeling embarrassed, Ye Yao’s face immediately flushed red.
“D-Don’t laugh!”
She recognized it.
It was clearly Xia Lian’s laugh.
How audacious!
If the setting weren’t inappropriate, Ye Yao would have kicked her out long ago.
Xia Lian seemed to sense Ye Yao’s dangerous glare and immediately sat up straight.
“I think White Catty is really cute! I’m definitely not making fun of you, believe me, really!”
Ye Yao’s eyes were full of resentment, her gaze clearly saying:
Don’t you dare sleep too soundly tonight!
Betting on my title as the strongest in the world, I’m coming for you tonight!
