Failed to Penetrate the Enemy's Armor!

It seems that from now on, we should try to avoid letting Fang Ming and Aurora be alone together.

We can't give them a chance to develop feelings for each other!

[After the opening sequence ends, the camera finally focuses on Aurora, the protagonist of the spin-off.]

A short, red-haired girl with red eyes walked out of the bedroom, looking rather listless.

I walked into the bathroom in a daze, left the bathroom in a daze, and then sat down at the dining table in a daze.

Only when she saw that there were only two slices of toast, a piece of ham, and a fried egg on the table did the girl finally come to her senses a little more, turning her head to look at the bearded man next to her:

"Are you serious? You ate this again for breakfast?"

The middle-aged man, who was putting ham between slices of toast and into his mouth, heard Aurora's question, looked at his niece, and said:

"What else? You know I don't have a job right now, this is the most lavish breakfast I can prepare."

"Then go find one! You bastard Harvey, are you trying to starve me to death by not going to look for a job?!"

Aurora kicked the uncle who cooked for her in annoyance.

At the same time, her monologue is played in the background.

'My name is Aurora Lyla Campbell, and the guy next to me with the messy beard who looks like a homeless man is my uncle Harvey Campbell.'

"For some reason... well, there's nothing really I can't say, it's just that my parents had an accident, and custody fell to Harvey, so I have to live with this gambling addict..."

In Aurora's confession, her simple 'argument' with Harvey escalated into a full-blown fight in the small room.

To be precise, it was Aurora who was bullying Harvey. With her little fangs, she bit Harvey's shoulder without mercy, just like a bullied little hamster.

Amidst the chaos, Aurora finished her breakfast.

The first half of the first episode is actually not much to say; it just tells the story of Aurora's daily life.

Because Aurora's family didn't have much money, and Aurora was expelled from public school for some reason, Aurora daily routine consisted of wandering around the city looking for any work that could earn her money.

Although Uncle Harvey was also looking for work, the occasional footage he was shown showed him spending money like water in casinos.

This 'harmonious' scene continued until the middle of the first episode, when Uncle Harvey gave Aurora a gift.

"Ta-da! This is your birthday present that your uncle prepared in advance. What do you think?"

Harvey somehow got hold of a cell phone and gave it to Aurora as a gift.

Unsurprisingly, that phone was Kelly's magic phone.

This marks the beginning of Aurora's contact with the magical world.

(Hey, the new protagonist... why does he seem a bit roguish?)

(She looks like a delinquent girl www)

(Where is the problem? Is it the height? www)

(So cute, even though it looks fierce!)

(But I smell a knife in my mouth. Aurora's uncle is a gambler, and as everyone knows... gamblers never end well...)

(And it seems like this guy isn't even in the opening sequence?)

(I think... there was a frame? I don't really remember...)

The first half of the spin-off's first episode transitions quickly through everyday life scenes: Harvey goes gambling, Aurora looks for a job, and they encounter some thugs who cause trouble, but she manages to escape.

Then Harvey went to a secondhand junk shop to buy a 'gift,' and after much persuasion, bought this no-name phone that had no brand and was difficult to turn on; it had probably been used many times before.

Harvey bought the phone with his winnings from gambling because it was red, similar to Aurora's hair color, and gave it to Aurora as an early birthday present.

As for why he didn't give the money on his birthday, Harvey stated quite confidently that he simply couldn't save the money until his birthday.

And naturally, this remark provoked Aurora to punch and kick him.

Harvey did not retaliate.

From the current footage, everything appears to be in harmony.

But Fang Ming, who had already gotten to know Aurora, foresaw the tragedy that was about to unfold beneath this facade of harmony.

"Aurora's uncle..." Fang Ming looked at Kelly on his phone.

Kelly said calmly, "Dead."

"..."

"To escape debt collectors, she accidentally fell from a building... Anyway, you'll find out soon enough, if Aurora becomes Magical Girls in the first episode."

When Harvey died, Aurora wasn't yet Magical Girls.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll see Harvey's fate in the first episode.

The art style, though depicting poverty, is heartwarming, but takes a sharp turn for the worse after just two scenes.

One night, under the cover of darkness, Magical Girls in azure blue descended from afar and landed atop a tall building.

Her gaze swept across the city, her brow furrowed deeply.

In the end, she found nothing, jumped from the high-rise building, and then disappeared.

The scene shifts again, this time to an alleyway where a humanoid creature covered in armor, resembling a modified organism, is panting heavily as it searches for something.

Finally, its ears twitched, and it heard the conversation of several gang members not far away. Its bright green eyes darted around as it approached the gang members.

After these several shots alternated, the main camera finally returned to Aurora's side.

At this moment, Aurora was still in the park, engrossed in playing with her phone, when suddenly Aurora discovered an app on her phone that she couldn't uninstall.

"What's this?"

Aurora tilted her head and tapped the software with the "K" icon.

She tapped it, but the icon didn't change.

I tapped it again, but the icon still didn't change.

Aurora raised an eyebrow upon seeing this and began tapping her fingers rapidly:

"That damn junk software! Uninstall it!"

Poke poke poke poke--

Aurora poked at the software for a long time with the intent to shatter the screen, but unsurprisingly, there was no response.

"... Tsk, what kind of no-name phone did that damn Harvey buy me!"

Aurora complained.

But seeing that the "K" sign was truly impossible to remove, Aurora sighed in frustration and stuffed her phone back into her pocket.

"Oh well, something's better than nothing... Time to go home."

A dozen minutes earlier, Harvey had texted Aurora, telling her to go home early, since the nights in the Americas District weren't particularly safe.

Aurora agreed at the time, but in the end, she was delayed because she was fighting against stubborn junk software on her phone.

It was now completely night, and there were fewer pedestrians around. It was indeed time for Aurora to go back.

Although she wasn't particularly afraid of the local thugs and gangsters, encountering them would always be a troublesome matter.

Aurora didn't want to be all sweaty from running around late at night, otherwise she'd have to go home and take a shower.

We're running low on water lately, so we need to be careful with our water usage.

With these thoughts in mind, Aurora walked home in a cheerful mood.

This should have been an ordinary day for her, just like any other, without any changes or troubles, a typical, unremarkable day.

That's how it should be.

But when Aurora arrived at her building, the 'figure' falling from the roof shattered Aurora peaceful daily life.

The figure was wearing a jacket with countless hands, and his stubble was filthy, looking like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

He landed not far from Aurora and instantly turned into a puddle of mud on the ground.

Blood flowed from beneath him; his last remaining life drew his attention to Aurora, who had come before him.

"Laila... Lyla..."

The man called out Aurora's middle name and extended his right hand to her.

Aurora froze, her legs feeling like they were filled with lead, unable to move. She finally slid to the ground, staring blankly at the person lying in a pool of blood.

This person is Harvey.

He is Aurora's only remaining family member in the world.

But now...

He will die in front of Aurora.

A few more images appeared.

Chapter 192 Failed to penetrate enemy armor!

The peaceful daily routine was shattered at this moment. Looking at her uncle Harvey lying in a pool of blood, Aurora's mind went blank.

She didn't know what she was doing or where she was; her once Passion eyes had dimmed and become lost.

It took her a while to realize what she was supposed to do. She went up to Harvey and asked him:

"Hey... Harvey! Don't scare me! Are you... are you alright? I'll... I'll take you to the hospital right away..."

"Lyla ..." Harvey coughed up blood, but he gripped Aurora tightly beside him and said:

"... I... I'm sorry... Quick... Run... Quick..."

Before Harvey could finish speaking, his hand had already limply released Aurora.

His life ended before Aurora's eyes.

"No... no..." Aurora held Harvey tightly, ignoring the blood on his body, and cried out to those around her, "Someone... someone save him! Someone—"

"Tsk! Trouble, to die here."

"Boss, this girl looks like he's related to this guy?"

"He's good-looking, take him back to pay off his debts!"

"!"

The sound of conversation coming from afar made Aurora suddenly look up towards the stairs.

A group of gangsters in black suits walked towards him. They were debt collectors from the Crocodile Brotherhood, specializing in collecting debts from gamblers like Harvey who refused to pay.

Aurora had some recollection of them because she had helped Harvey escape his debts before.

Hearing their words, Aurora regained some of her composure.

Debt settlement?

Me?

Thinking about all this, her body got up before her mind could react, and she turned and ran out of the residential area.

At that moment, she finally understood why Harvey had told her to run away.

It's clear that Harvey is heavily in debt again and has no money to pay it off. According to the rules of the Crocodile Brotherhood, if Harvey can't pay his debts, he'll have to use something else to cover them.

The house, the valuables in the house, even...

Wife and daughter.

Aurora was Harvey's niece, a direct relative, and now that Harvey was dead, the only thing left to pay off the debt was Aurora herself.

Aurora, who was at the very bottom of the hierarchy, knew best what would happen if she Crocodile Brotherhood.

Therefore, when faced with danger, her body reacts faster than her thoughts, and she begins to flee.

We absolutely cannot get caught!
