Esper X Family – Chapter 71 – How Can Magical Girl Activities Be Considered Corrupting?

“Remember to call when you arrive at your destination to let us know you’re safe.”

“Got it, it’s not far anyway, so don’t worry.”

Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua set off after dinner.

As soon as they stepped downstairs, they saw Mo Qiuli waiting at the entrance of the residential complex.

Mo Qiuli’s eyes lit up the moment she saw her two friends approaching.

“I’ll lead the way.”

Her mood had never been so wonderful!

She had been waiting for this day.

Not only had her punishment period ended, but she could also engage in a magical girl activity with Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua.

What a great day!

Mo Qiuli had never dared to imagine that two people would accompany her in protecting the city.

They had even dressed up as magical girls before.

Although Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua wouldn’t be dressed as magical girls this time, Mo Qiuli could easily rely on her imagination to fill in the gaps.

As long as her imagination was rich enough, there would be three magical girls working together tonight!

Ye Yao was speechless when she saw Mo Qiuli’s thoughts.

A magical girl fanatic is really…

But who told Mo Qiuli to be so adorable?

Mo Qiuli’s home wasn’t far.

Ye Yao could see the building where Mo Qiuli lived from her own balcony.

Although walking there would take some time, it could be considered an after-dinner walk.

After all, it was still early.

Ye Yao glanced up at the sky.

It was 6 PM after dinner.

It would take a while before the sky turned completely dark.

According to their usual habit, Mu Luo would come to pick her up after 9 PM.

Once he arrived, he wouldn’t easily show himself.

Any normal person would know that Lou Wei wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.

Ye Yao needed to figure out how to discreetly pass information to Mu Luo and the others.

It was indeed quite difficult to cause trouble under Lou Wei’s nose.

“Sister, how does it feel to go out for once?” Luo Jianhua’s voice rang in Ye Yao’s ear.

Ye Yao suddenly realized that this was only her second time going out in her main body.

The last time was when she encountered Mo Qiuli in the park.

After that, she had cooped up at home.

Only sneaking out with her fission body at night.

Now, this feeling of being out in the open was somewhat novel.

“It’s quite nice. Looks like I really should go out more,” Ye Yao said as she walked along the roadside, watching the passing cars and pedestrians.

It felt like she had fully integrated into city life.

During her time at home, she had been completely disconnected from society.

Although there wasn’t anything wrong with that.

After all, she had two little lolis to talk to.

At night, she could also wander around other cities with her other group of friends.

In a way, it didn’t seem like she was that much of a shut-in.

Now that she had left the residential complex with her main body, Ye Yao suddenly felt a refreshing sensation, like taking off stuffy underwear in the morning.

It was probably because there were too many Espers living in the complex.

It felt like living in an extremely heavy circle.

Now, with only ordinary people on the streets, Ye Yao felt a sense of relaxation, as if she was just one of the masses.

For a moment, she almost forgot that her ability could destroy the world.

Of course.

It would be better if Ye Yao didn’t know about the Dayun Truck floating above her head.

Otherwise, she would feel a lot more relaxed.

Mo Qiuli, who was unaware of this, had already started discussing tonight’s plans.

“Ye Yao, Little Luo, when should we start our operation tonight?”

Ye Yao didn’t mind chatting with Mo Qiuli about this.

After all, Luo Jianhua had already informed Lou Wei and the others beforehand.

It was just a simple magical girl activity.

In the eyes of those adults, it was nothing more than a low-risk game of make-believe.

With Lou Wei keeping an eye on them, there was even less to worry about.

“How did you usually do it before?” Ye Yao asked in return.

Mo Qiuli pondered for a moment.

“Hmm… my family doesn’t know that I’m a magical girl.”

“I usually sneak out through the window on bedtime.”

“That way, my family won’t notice, and the surveillance cameras won’t catch me either.”

She spoke like a repeat offender.

No wonder she was considered a problem child.

“Then let’s do it that way,” Ye Yao said, not wanting to say too much.

She acted obediently, leaving everything to Mo Qiuli.

Even if Lou Wei personally saw her sneaking out from the window on the tenth floor, Mo Qiuli would be the one to take the blame.

If asked, the answer would be: Mo Qiuli taught me.

Loli Mercury would ultimately bear all the responsibility.

“Mhm, I’m very experienced. I can transform into a magical girl and fly out with you guys,” Mo Qiuli said, brimming with excitement after being suppressed for a week.

She was completely unaware of the massive responsibility she was about to shoulder.

Luo Jianhua commented from the side.

“Little Mo, you’re acting like you’re corrupting us. If the adults find out, you’ll be labeled as a bad kid.”

Mo Qiuli didn’t care at all.

Or rather, she was long used to it.

“How can magical girl activities be considered corrupting?”

“It’s just that adults don’t understand magical girls.”

“Soon, I’ll make them see the day when Magical Girl Mercury is worshipped by everyone.”

Whenever Mo Qiuli started talking about magical girls, she became completely immersed in her own art.

Ye Yao couldn’t even imagine how energetic she would be tonight.

It gave off the vibe of someone who had abstained for a month and was ready to speedrun their collection in one night.

A while later.

Mo Qiuli finally brought Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua to her home.

A rare case of having both parents present ¹ This is super rare in novels… .

However, they were both ordinary people without abilities.

They warmly welcomed Ye Yao and Luo Jianhua.

If the two hadn’t already eaten before coming, Mo Qiuli’s mother would have undoubtedly rushed to cook a few dishes to entertain them.

“Ye Yao, Little Luo, come to my room! I’ll show you my collection!”

Ye Yao curiously stepped into Mo Qiuli’s room.

Aside from Luo Jianhua’s room, this was the first time she had entered another girl’s room.

At a glance, Mo Qiuli’s room was quite spacious.

Although not overly luxurious, it wasn’t cramped either. There was enough space for two or three large beds and a wardrobe.

Apart from that, Ye Yao was quickly drawn to the various magical girl posters inside the room.

A strong wave of 2D atmosphere hit her.

Although Ye Yao already knew that Mo Qiuli’s obsession was intense, she was still shocked by her dedication.

Fortunately, Mo Qiuli’s room was clean and tidy, just with a lot of magical girl posters.

It still had the feel of a girl’s room.

Upon closer inspection, she felt that it was quite charming.

Perhaps Ye Yao was also someone obsessed with 2D at heart.

Or perhaps she just loved watching anime too much.

“Ye Yao! Little Luo! Look, I framed our group photo and placed it by my bedside. I look at it every night before sleeping.”

Mo Qiuli happily handed the small framed photo on her bedside table to the two.

Ye Yao took a closer look and realized that it was indeed a photo of the three of them as magical girls.

This made Ye Yao feel a bit embarrassed.

“Uh… I’m glad that you consider us your closest friends, but won’t it be easily seen by others?”

Like Mo Qiuli’s parents, for example.

Ye Yao was still a bit concerned.

Mo Qiuli, however, was confident.

“Don’t worry~ I always hide it whenever I leave the house. Even my mom can’t find it.”

“And my parents don’t just barge into my room. They’ll never see it.”

“That’s good, that’s good.”

Ye Yao let out a sigh of relief, then reminded her.

“Then you must be careful. If the photo gets leaked, I’ll have to take it back.”

Mo Qiuli’s expression turned serious as she tightly hugged the frame to her chest.

She looked like an adorable little creature fiercely protecting its food.

“D-Don’t worry, no one will ever see it!”
