Esper X Family – Chapter 642 – That Direct?

Seeing that Silver Frost hadn’t reacted, Ye Tong couldn’t help but reveal an amused smile.

If she knew the truth about the Trinity, the perfect image she held in her heart would probably shatter, right?

“That’s right, including Ye Yao. She knew your background and purpose from the very beginning. She just never exposed you.”

“Huh?”

Silver Frost felt like the sky had fallen.

She had thought that she could at least leave a good impression in Ye Yao’s heart before disappearing from her life.

But it turned out that her nature as a “liar” had been exposed from the start.

Silver Frost was so mortified she almost wished she could die.

“Kuh… kill me already ¹ The classic line… If you know, you know. !”

She had originally planned to follow Bluestar customs and burn paper offerings for Commander White Comet.

And while she was at it, burn some trash for Deputy Commander Gray Marsh.

Her next plan had been to live alone on Bluestar.

If the Watcher Civilization noticed something was wrong and sent another fleet, Silver Frost could show up in time to point them toward a way to survive, avoiding meaningless sacrifices.

But now that her cover was blown, Silver Frost felt like following in White Comet’s footsteps.

Death might be the best ending.

She no longer had the face to live in this world.

As for the expedition mission… it didn’t matter anymore. Forget it.

Seeing Silver Frost cover her face, unwilling to face anyone, Ye Tong found her utterly adorable.

Are all the pretty ones from Watcher Civilization this amusing?

Would it be too late to invade now and take them all in?

Ye Tong gently pried Silver Frost’s small hands away from her face, looked straight into her flushed cheeks, and felt a sense of delight at her overwhelming sense of shame.

Sigh. Compared to her, Ye Tong felt that she herself probably wouldn’t be reduced to a beet-red face over any single matter.

When exactly had she completely transformed into a little demon bead?

“Let me tell you something. Actually… ‘Ye Ge’, ‘Ye Tong’, and ‘Ye Yao’ share the same memories.

In a certain sense, they are three as one, just different in appearance and name.

For now, you can think of Ye Tong and Ye Ge as Ye Yao. That’s about it.”

Ye Tong said something that could shake the entire world in a light, airy tone.

Silver Frost was stunned at first, then plunged into a mental storm.

What does that mean?

Three as one?

It’s that kind of symbiotic relationship, right?

That kind of mind-linked connection, right?

According to the data, Ye Tong and Ye Ge did indeed originate from the original Ye Yao. The Trinity made sense; they could be regarded as three different individuals.

After all, based on their behavior, it was nothing like one person playing three roles.

But according to what Ye Tong just said…

Didn’t that mean everything she had said earlier was being communicated face-to-face with Ye Yao herself?!

Shame, panic, regret… all of it surged into Silver Frost’s brain at once.

She couldn’t face it. She hoped that it was just her imagination.

Under the crushing weight of this shocking truth, Silver Frost went “crack” and passed out cold.

Ye Tong looked at the lingering expression of “mortified enough to die” on the girl’s face and couldn’t help but nod thoughtfully.

“Is it really that shocking? Maybe I bullied her a bit too much.”

Still, the goal was achieved.

【Under your efforts, the “bomb” buried in Silver Frost’s heart has been defused. She will no longer seek death by suicide. Reward: 20 attribute points.】

Although the process had been a bit tortuous, at least this phase of the conquest was complete!

The only problem was that Silver Frost would probably have to face a social death when she woke up.

Ye Tong gently poked Silver Frost’s delicate cheek, feeling a little regretful.

“I haven’t even told her about the situation in space yet. You just assumed that White Comet died in battle. If she finds out, she’s definitely going to give you a piece of her mind.

And you’re supposed to be an S-class Esper far beyond the norm, yet you faint that easily. How embarrassing.”

Ye Tong picked Silver Frost up from the floor and carried her to the bed to rest.

She planned to hide her for a while, “keeping a beauty in a golden house” to keep her from going out and disrupting Black Haze’s “plan”.

She could just leave a fission body here to watch over her.

As for the parallel world, disappearing for a few days didn’t matter. She had already notified the others. One Yao could split into three cats, setting a grand trap for the Watcher Civilization fleet!

Wiping them all out would be a waste. Better to squeeze every last bit of value out of them!

Outside.

Night had fallen.

Black Haze suddenly realized that Silver Frost was missing.

No matter how she tried to contact her, there was no response. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

Yet, within the Countermeasure Bureau, no corresponding mobilization had occurred.

When she asked Ye Yao, the reply was: “Silver Frost said she needs to go home for a while.”

Apparently, the message had been sent by Silver Frost herself.

But Black Haze knew very well that Silver Frost had no home on Bluestar.

Everything had been a facade to infiltrate Bluestar.

If Silver Frost had left at this time, it was either to break through the atmosphere with her physical body and check on the fleet in space, or she had already met with misfortune.

Black Haze leaned toward the latter.

If the anomalies with the fleet were Ye Ge’s doing, that meant she had already detected some of the expeditionary fleet’s covert moves.

Dealing with an Observer who had infiltrated Bluestar might not be that difficult.

If that were the case, then perhaps Silver Frost hadn’t been watching her because she simply couldn’t?

If so, Black Haze had misjudged her.

Black Haze felt a complicated mix of emotions, a sense of fox grieving over the fallen rabbit regarding Silver Frost’s presumed fate.

But if that was how it played out, so be it.

If Silver Frost wouldn’t stop her, then Ye Ge could come and sweep everything clean.

That way, Ye Yao wouldn’t fall into Deputy Commander Gray Marsh’s hands, and she wouldn’t have to suffer betrayal and harm.

The other restless Observers would probably be cleaned up too.

With that thought, Black Haze felt much lighter.

It was just death from mission failure.

She had long been prepared for that.

However, night arrived as expected. Black Haze went to Ye Yao’s home, planning to stay overnight, but still didn’t see Ye Ge coming to settle accounts.

If Ye Ge had come to deal with her early, that would actually have been the best outcome.

That way, Ye Yao wouldn’t have to endure the emotional highs and lows. Black Haze felt that being dealt with as an enemy wasn’t so bad.

Even if she couldn’t repay Deputy Commander Gray Marsh’s kindness, it would just be due to her own lack of ability.

“Black Haze, what are you thinking about?”

Ye Yao and the other girls were sitting in a row on the sofa, watching a movie.

It was a magical girl film.

According to Mo Qiuli, they were revisiting a classic.

The question just now came from Ye Yao, who seemed to notice Black Haze zoning out.

Black Haze looked around.

Almost all the girls Ye Yao cared about were here.

Xia Lian had apparently tried to sneak in too.

But she got kicked out, which served her right.

Who told her to bring cat-ear headbands with her? She was clearly up to no good.

Black Haze thought that that person was a pervert.

“…Ye Yao, I… I want a hug.”

The words reached her lips, but she couldn’t say them outright, so she veered toward her subconscious desire, and she even blurted them out.

Not only did Luo Jianhua and the others show subtle expressions.

Even Ye Yao was surprised.

“Huh? Are you acting cute?”

Black Haze froze on the spot, feeling an urge to dig a hole with her toes.

In the end, she finally made a decision to exit the stage as an “enemy”.

“Actually… I want to kill everyone other than Ye Yao…”

Ye Yao: “?”

Bro, WTF!? From acting cute to mass murder, isn’t that a bit of a leap?

Author Note

Hiss, it seems like the short video promotion has triggered a big wave… maybe… Maybe I can still continue to write some filler slice-of-life stuff?

Text: Are you not going to kiss me?

Translator Note

Looked at douyin, and it seems like there are a lot of videos where they use AI voice to narrate the events of chapter 1. Most of them are just AI voice narration over random satisfying videos, but this one particular example has AI anim— actually, it’s more like a slideshow or PPT.

Anyway, don’t ask me why they turned Ye Yao into a shota. I have no idea either…

I still can’t believe that this novel is joining the ranks of Chinese short form drama brainrot…
