Esper X Family – Chapter 90 – Get Out of My Room!

Xia Lian was very satisfied with her interaction with Ye Yao.

If she didn’t get hissed at every day, she would feel like something is missing.

“Let’s go, Wu Mi. Don’t pay attention to this cat-obsessed Xia Lian. You might catch her weirdness.”

Ye Yao pulled Wu Mi away from Xia Lian, her face full of disdain.

Far from being upset, Xia Lian wore a proud smile.

That’s just how White Catty was.

Even though she looked annoyed, she would still play along.

If you asked her to hiss, she would hiss.

If she was truly aloof, she would’ve ignored Xia Lian like air.

How could there be such an adorable cat?

Xia Lian made up her mind.

Tonight, she would sneak into Ye Yao’s room again.

No matter how tightly the doors and windows were closed, nothing could stop her from breaking into the cat’s nest!

But before that, it would be better to take a shower first.

On the other side.

Wu Mi looked down at Ye Yao’s small hand that was holding her own and suddenly wished that this moment could cycle forever.

But it seemed that she couldn’t make that happen.

“Ye Yao, was I useful tonight?”

“What are you talking about? You’re a gold-tier support! Without your crucial sustain, I’d just be a mascot.”

Ye Yao began to shower her with praise, not holding back at all.

Little Wu Mi needed a bit more recognition.

During tonight’s activity, Xia Lian, Jiang Huashen, and Gu Wenxin could be considered slackers.

At most, they had cleared out the small fries.

Mu Luo did deal a lot of damage, but most of them were ineffective.

Ye Yao, on the other hand, was the undisputed MVP.

When she unleashed her ultimate skill, no one could stop her!

Attribute Fission reduced her IQ to zero!

Reαⅾ оո ΚatRеаⅾіոgCаfе

She just poured on the damage relentlessly; anyone who came close was done for.

And Wu Mi was an essential component for that.

Putting it in game terms.

If a character could extend the duration of their teammates’ ultimates…

Paired with a character who, when they activated their ultimate, became an unstoppable force.

That would be absolutely overpowered.

Wu Mi was that kind of overpowered character who would be banned from matches.

“It’s great that I can help Ye Yao. I’m sure I’ll sleep well tonight.”

Wu Mi let out a sigh of relief, her face breaking into a happy smile, so cute it made one want to spoil her.

The only regret was that she still needed protection.

No matter what happened, she had to hide at the first sign of danger.

Wu Mi didn’t like this situation.

But she was powerless to change it.

She couldn’t just stay on the battlefield with her fragile body.

Not only would it distract Ye Yao and the others, but it could also lead to irreversible mistakes.

Then, Ye Yao suddenly spoke up. “By the way~ Since Wu Mi has learned to use her abilities and is getting more skilled, shouldn’t we go back and release those innocent people from their cycle state?”

Wu Mi’s attention was immediately diverted.

Her expression showed a hint of uncertainty.

“I think… maybe?”

In the past, she had always subconsciously resisted the power of her ability because she had hurt those around her.

But after Ye Yao’s guidance, she gradually gained control of her power.

Whether it was applying a cycle to an object or releasing it, she had mastered both.

In theory, she should be able to go back and save those she had accidentally harmed.

A faint light began to shine in Wu Mi’s eyes.

The victims of her out-of-control ability had always been a hurdle in her heart.

If she could go back and restore them, that would be the best.

But soon, the light in her eyes dimmed.

“But… those people seem to be under the Countermeasures Bureau’s care. If I go back, I’ll definitely be caught, and then I won’t be able to see Ye Yao anymore…”

“Hmm, let me think about that.”

Rеаԁ οո KаtReαⅾіnɡСаfe

Ye Yao fell into deep thought.

Logically, Wu Mi, who could now control her abilities, should be eligible for removal from the sequence list.

As long as it was confirmed that she wouldn’t lose control again and her personality remained stable, she wouldn’t need to be contained anymore.

Just like Luo Jianhua.

Luo Jianhua used to be a Sequence Esper under supervision.

But later, perhaps because her abilities and personality had stabilized, she was granted the freedom to move around and was removed from the sequence ranking.

Wu Mi should fall under the same category.

But the problem was…

Wu Mi had mixed up with Mu Luo and the others, so it wasn’t just a matter of being on the sequence list.

Once she went back, she would inevitably face questioning and containment.

She could never return to a normal life.

Wu Mi also began to think, wanting to spare Ye Yao some brain cells.

“Should I just tell them I want to save them? Maybe the Countermeasures Bureau will bring them out for me to release their cycle.”

“Uhh…”

Ye Yao’s brain almost short-circuited.

What a naive, adorable idea!

But when she thought about it, it did seem feasible.

The key was whether the Countermeasures Bureau would believe it.

Who knew if they would set up a trap.

Then they might end up fighting, and it would be a huge drain.

Ye Yao didn’t want that to happen.

“Alright, let’s test the waters with the Countermeasures Bureau. If it works, we’ll do it that way!”

The Countermeasures Bureau might not like the existence of Sequence Zero.

And they might not trust a group of potential threats running around.

But they probably wouldn’t refuse this proposal.

As long as they were sure that they could save people, there shouldn’t be a problem.

The only worry was that the Countermeasures Bureau might play dirty and set up an ambush.

They would have to rely on her main body secretly checking the Bureau’s intentions.

After all, even Lou Wei was keeping an eye on Sequence Zero’s movements.

Rеaⅾ оn КαtReαԁіngCаfe

Although he wasn’t carrying out other tasks, he would probably be involved in major discussions.

He was both a representative of their combat strength and part of the decision-making layer.

Overpowered, no need to say more.

Ye Yao’s mind was already mapping out the plan for the next period.

First, get the files on the new high-risk Sequence Espers.

Second, as the spokesperson for Sequence Zero, convey Wu Mi’s willingness to treat those affected by her ability.

Third, probe their intentions and execute the plan.

And the most important thing!

All of this had to be done while slacking off!

Ye Yao didn’t want to work herself to death and burn out her mood.

That would be too contrary to her original intentions.

“Let’s call it a night. Time to go back, take a shower, and sleep!

Oh, Wu Mi, do you have any spare clothes?

I didn’t prepare in advance, so I guess I’ll have to wear yours.”

Ye Yao figured that Wu Mi’s body type was similar to hers.

Both were petite, standard loli sizes.

The clothes should fit.

Wu Mi hesitated, then nodded. “Mm, I do…”

The problem was that none of them were unworn.

She was worried that Ye Yao might dislike wearing them.

“As long as they fit, it’s fine. Even if they have Wu Mi’s scent on them, I don’t mind.”

Ye Yao blinked and spoke mischievously.

We’re family, after all!

Why be formal?

“Th-They don’t have my scent on them!”

Wu Mi’s face visibly reddened.

Luckily, it was just a normal shy blush, not the kind of red that comes from anger.

“If Ye Yao doesn’t mind, then… I’ll lend them to you.”

Wu Mi could only agree.

Reаԁ оո KαtRеαⅾiոɡСαfe

Mainly because the mere thought of Ye Yao wearing her clothes made her heart race and her face flushed.

When it was time to sleep.

With her hair freshly dried, Ye Yao carefully locked all the doors and windows, ensuring that a certain cat abuser wouldn’t sneak in.

Even if she did, there should be some noise.

Ye Yao even pretended to be asleep for a while after turning off the lights and lying down.

Just to see if there was any suspicious movement.

After who knows how long.

A faint rustling sound reached Ye Yao’s ears in her drowsy state.

Ye Yao opened her eyes to see.

A slender figure stood by the bed, barely visible in the darkness.

Her little brain snapped awake.

“ AH! How did you get in!?”

“Hmm? If someone covers you with a blanket in the middle of the night, White Catty should politely say ‘thank you’.

Not ask nonsensical stuff like ‘How did you get in?’.”

Xia Lian’s tone showed no hint of guilt.

Ye Yao’s face turned red with frustration.

“Get out of my room!”

We’ve reached Friday.

Only those slightly rising numbers can soothe my cold heart.

As usual, I’m asking for a wave of free gifts~
