Esper X Family – Chapter 627 – Don’t Fall for It

Silver Frost felt as though her understanding of things had been completely overturned.

She had initially assumed that people like Ye Tong, having lived through the Bluestar Defense Battle, would hold some degree of resentment or wariness toward alien civilizations.

But to her surprise, the All-Knowing Demon Eye and the Memory Spirit were still alive and well. They weren’t wiped out.

No, wait.

She should be calling them Sen Tong and Yi Ling now.

Their races had been swept into the dustbin of history, leaving behind little more than their racial talents to prove what they once were.

Silver Frost was now contemplating the possibility of the expeditionary fleet hiding in space being exposed.

If things really took a turn for the worst, perhaps simply stating their intentions openly could avert a devastating war.

After all, if even Sen Tong and Yi Ling could survive, then there was no reason the Watcher Civilization, whose members were structurally very similar to humans, couldn’t do the same.

Silver Frost finally understood what Ye Tong was thinking.

As for Ye Yao, there was no need to even analyze her.

Just watching her stroke both Sen Tong and Yi Ling’s heads at the same time made it clear that she adored these two cute little girls.

Such an inclusive heart spoke volumes about its greatness.

However, this was still not enough for the White Comet faction to decide on full transparency.

Their observation was far from over.

Ye Yao and Ye Tong, who lacked any overwhelming power, were not the priority.

The expeditionary fleet sent by the Watcher Civilization was specifically designed to counter the source of calamity predicted by the Evolutionary Divine Machine.

According to the intelligence they had gathered, the most powerful being on Bluestar right now was Ye Ge.

Ye Ge had personally slain an interstellar overlord.

If Ye Yao, Ye Tong, and Ye Ge together formed a complete whole…

Then Ye Yao represented the absolute good side, Ye Tong the diplomatic side, and Ye Ge the military side.

According to intel obtained through【Myriad Analysis】, almost every time Ye Ge appeared, violence always followed.

Even though there were records of Ye Ge being influenced by Ye Yao, White Comet’s team was not ready to accept that as fact.

Only through direct observation and analysis could they confirm Ye Ge’s true nature, and only then would the fleet’s higher-ups consider revealing their existence.

And for now… it was still too early.

“Well, this is an eye-opener. If you hadn’t told me all this, I probably would’ve gone my whole life without knowing such interesting things!”

That was all Silver Frost could manage in reply.

She couldn’t just expose her teammates out of personal feelings.

She carried the weight of saving her civilization’s future on her shoulders!

Even if she wanted to do something, she had to discuss it with Commander White Comet first.

Ye Tong narrowed her eyes, unconcerned with Silver Frost’s attitude.

She didn’t expect to break down the defenses of this alien loli spy with just a few words.

This wasn’t hypnosis.

Besides, she had already achieved her initial goal.

“Hehe~ It’s great that you can accept this. That means we’re on the same side. And as long as we’re on the same side, we can get along just fine.”

【Successfully made a family member you just met feel a little more at ease. When interacting with you, her tension will be greatly reduced. Reward: 10 Attribute Points.】

Ye Tong pulled Silver Frost into her arms and stroked her head, using her complete lack of personal boundaries to get all the close contact she wanted.

This was a genuine alien loli!

Unlike Sen Tong or Yi Ling, who had been filtered through a “beautification mod”.

It would be a shame not to appreciate closely.

Ye Tong couldn’t be bothered with taking things slow.

“Good girl, good girl. No matter where you come from, I’ll treat you like family. Remember to have fun, okay?

I’m not like Ye Yao. I don’t have her sense of restraint. If I find out you’re unhappy, I’ll do something willful to cheer you up.

Like this. Do you like hugs and nuzzles? Doesn’t it feel like our hearts are connecting? This is the most direct way to show goodwill~”

Ye Yao usually had to maintain a composed image and couldn’t act so freely.

But Ye Tong had no such worries.

Her philosophy was simple: do whatever makes you happy, hug whoever you want. She would even dare to drag the esteemed “Lou Weiwei” into a livestream.

As long as she didn’t cross any principled lines, no one could really stop her.

Just like this.

So what if Silver Frost was Commander White Comet’s confidante?

Once she was by her side, she was hers!

The more family, the better; especially when they were this adorable.

And what did Silver Frost think?

She had no opinion.

Under Ye Tong’s unreserved actions, her brain had already turned to mush.

Even a trained agent like Silver Frost found it hard to cope with someone whose next move was completely unpredictable.

A sudden gesture was enough to throw her into disarray.

And Ye Tong’s way of speaking was nerve-wracking in itself.

Silver Frost replayed the phrase “no matter where you come from” in her mind. It almost sounded like she already knew her true identity.

But fitting it into the “village girl” cover story, it also carried a warm sense of acceptance and non-discrimination.

In some stories, this would be the classic “domineering loli CEO falls for the author who keeps flopping”.

That kind of tactic was the most effective at winning hearts.

Of course, Ye Tong and Ye Yao’s character modeling also did a lot of the heavy lifting!

“P-Please let me go. I’m a bit shy…”

Silver Frost’s voice came out soft and weak, not daring to use the strength she had shown in the training grounds. Her movements were as feeble as any ordinary girl’s.

Ye Tong loved teasing these “passive” little cuties.

As for types like Xia Lian and Tu Sheng, who boldly “seduced” others, Ye Yao would just push them away. She had no interest in such games.

Meanwhile, in space.

White Comet sensed the flurry of emotions coming from Silver Frost: “shy”, “tense”, “flustered”, “happy”, and she felt a little conflicted.

“Corporal Silver Frost, don’t fall for it.”

“I-I won’t!”

White Comet caught the slightly embarrassed reply in her mind and couldn’t help but shake her head.

Most members of the Watcher Civilization believed that the universe was one big family.

They tended to approach newly discovered civilizations with goodwill first.

Strictly adhering to the principle of non-interference.

If the other side showed goodwill in return, they would earn higher favor from regular members of the Watcher Civilization.

Of course, given the Watcher Civilization’s technological and power levels, they were far from being naive individuals, and they could tell sincerity from deception.

Silver Frost was essentially a carrier of that mainstream mindset.

Back on Bluestar.

Only when Ye Yao saw Silver Frost shoot her a pleading look did she step in to separate them.

“Alright, Sister Ye Tong, stop picking on Little Frosty. Can’t you see she’s uncomfortable?”

“Oh, really? I thought she seemed pretty happy.”

Ye Tong glanced at Silver Frost, who was staring down in shy silence, and wore a satisfied expression.

【Silver Frost keeps repeating in her mind: “Forever loyal to Commander White Comet”.】

It seems the earlier impact was quite intense.

Alien loli spies are so easy to handle.

Just one more push.

Ye Yao used her galgame trick of skillfully patting heads. No matter how unyielding she might be, she went for it while the iron was hot.

She really was too charming.

Even the alien loli spy couldn’t withstand it.

“Little Frosty, don’t mind this Ye Tong. Come on, I’ll introduce you to some other friends. They’re at a secret base. If they know we have a new companion, they’ll definitely be thrilled.”

“O-Okay, then… I’ll leave it to you…”

Silver Frost just wanted a moment to catch her breath. Ye Tong had poured way too much “friendliness” into her.
