The Strange Bird and the Giant Rhino

"I'm suddenly quite curious about what books that uncle has written, and whether I can go to his book signings."

"Aren't you going to training tomorrow?"

"I can go to the book signing first, then go to training. Anyway, if all else fails, I can just fly!"

The location of the autograph session was quite far from the club.

But this didn't stump Aurora. After transforming and gaining the ability to fly, Aurora could travel back and forth between the two places in a short time, so distance was not a problem at all.

Kelly didn't try to persuade Aurora too much. In her opinion, it was good for Aurora to go out and relax, but there was one thing to be careful about.

Kelly pointed at Aurora's messy hair and said, "Since you're going, you'd better tidy yourself up, or you'll end up being thrown out like a homeless person."

"..."

Looking down at her messy hair, which seemed to have its own thoughts about growth, Aurora fell silent.

Fang Ming's autograph session was held at the stadium in N City.

At this very moment, thousands of people have gathered in the stadium, waiting for Fang Ming's new book to be released.

Fang Ming's new book is the final volume of <The Black Empire>.

It has to be said that books that are completely aligned with Western core themes have a real market here. Combined with Fang Ming's rare advanced skill: writing, it's no exaggeration to say that this book is even better than the movie from my previous life.

Furthermore, Fang Ming included his own movie-quality CG illustrations in the book, which further increased its popularity.

Therefore, the number of people in the stadium at this moment is not exaggerated, and is even somewhat small.

If Fang Ming hadn't limited the opportunity to get a signed copy to only the first 500 people, there would probably have been even more people here today.

As the apple of Ellis Industries' eye, Luna blended in very discreetly into the crowd.

Her contracted creature, the lion Lien, perched on her shoulder like a doll, communicating with Luna through magical Telepathy.

"... There are so many people here."

"Um."

Luna clutched her backpack tightly and nodded nervously.

She is socially anxious, not good at communicating with people, and dislikes places with so many people. The presence of so many people around her almost makes her dizzy.

If it weren't for Lien's encouragement, and if it weren't for wanting to meet her favorite author, Luna definitely wouldn't have come here.

No, even when facing her favorite author, Luna was starting to regret coming.

Even though his family was well-off, he could have simply had his father invite Mr. Fang Ming to his home. Instead, he insisted on showing off his 'Passion' as a fan by personally coming to the event to buy Fang Ming's autographed books.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

But since she was already here, Luna had no reason to leave.

Most importantly, she had been in such a long line, and it would be her turn soon.

Go, Luna! You're almost at the finish line! Almost there!

Suppressing her near-fainting feeling, Luna finally overcame numerous obstacles and arrived in front of her favorite author, meeting him in person.

This was a young man with short black hair; his expression was gentle, matching Luna's fantasy of an idol.

He looked somewhat thin, yet also seemed dangerous. Luna's danger radar was on high alert, but because he was her idol, Luna suppressed that sense of danger.

To be honest, this was the first time she had met the author of the novel she was reading.

Although she had been reading the novel written by the person in front of her, she had never paid attention to what he looked like. In addition, he rarely appeared in public. So this was Luna's first meeting with him, their very first meeting.

When Luna was in front of her idol, her mind went completely blank. She instinctively wanted to pick up a gun to protect herself, but when she reached into her pocket, she pulled out a very thick hardcover edition of Harry Potter.

The book, still covered in a colorful coating, was slammed hard onto the table in front of Luna.

Bang!

"Sign!"

Luna coldly pointed to the book in her hand and said.

Fang Ming: "?"

Are you here to cause trouble?

Luna's actions stunned everyone around her, even Lien remained speechless for a long time.

Didn't you say... this is your idol?

Is this how you treat your idol??

"..."

A blush crept across Luna's usually cool expression, her body trembled slightly, and she placed her hand on the hardcover book, unsure of what to do.

Looking at her like this, Lien felt that she might faint on the spot at any moment.

Just as he was about to use confusion magic to speak for Luna, he saw the short-haired young man sitting opposite him gently pick up the book next to him with a smile.

He skillfully signed his name on the book, placed the bonus setting book and other books next to Luna, and put his hand on the book that Luna was pressing down on.

He looked like he wanted to pull the book over and sign his name on it.

But the young man tugged...

He couldn't budge it.

Fang Ming: "..."

He looked down at Luna's hand, which was pressing down on the veins that were bulging, then looked up at Luna, whose face was expressionless except for a slight blush, and tilted his head to ask:

"... Didn't you want me to sign your autograph?"

"..."

Luna's face began to turn red.

From light red to dark red, and finally to crimson, transparent steam appeared above her head, and the sound of a kettle boiling could be heard in the room.

She was at a loss. She wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, or perhaps she could simply conjure up her own Magical Armament to arm herself and shoot herself in the head to give herself some peace and quiet.

In the end, Luna simply trembled as she removed her hand and watched as the other person signed their artistic signature on the blank page of her treasured book.

It looks great... but it's so embarrassing!!

The blue-haired girl was almost turning red-skinned. Fang Ming immediately saw through her nervousness and smiled even more gently at her, saying:

"Don't be nervous, it's over... Um, shall we shake hands?"

Fang Ming smiled and extended his hand to Luna.

Luna, her mind blank, instinctively reached out her hand to Fang Ming.

But the moment Luna's fingertips touched Fang Ming's fingers, a scene flashed through her mind.

A blank background, a strange man suddenly appears attacking him, Fang Ming reaches out his hand, and... that conspicuous smear of blood!

"!!?"

Luna activated her passive ability of Precognition and abruptly turned her head to look to the side. Just then, the ceiling suddenly shattered, and a strange creature resembling a bird descended from the sky, attacking Luna!

"Witch... capture her...!"

Luna's pupils contracted, and she was about to transform and dodge.

But just then, Fang Ming, who had been sitting there, suddenly sprang up, reached out his hand towards Luna, and shoved her away violently!

Tear--

The strange bird's sharp claws gripped Fang Ming's body.

The conspicuous blood stained Luna's pupils red.

The scene she Precognition unfolded before her very eyes.

Chapter 228 Strange Bird and Rhinoceros

(Cousin!!?)

(Don't mess with this, don't mess with this! My cousin didn't get into trouble in the main story, so please don't let him get into trouble in the spin-off!)

(Probably not, there's a scene in the Sky Screen sequence where my cousin is wielding a knife and attacking someone! How could he possibly fall here!)

(This isn't the first or second time the opening theme has been misleading... Have you forgotten the second season's opening theme?)

(It's alright, it's alright, look, Luna has made her move!)

Fang Ming, visible in the Sky Screen, had his arm scratched by the strange bird's claws, and blood splattered everywhere. Although it was pink blood, everyone knew that Fang Ming was definitely injured.

And it might even be a serious injury!

This scene made Fang Ming's fans worry, and even the Magical Girls under the Sky Screen couldn't help but worry about Fang Ming's safety.

Fortunately, Luna was right next to Fang Ming at the time and reacted the instant Fang Ming was injured!

Blood splattered before her eyes, and Luna's pupils contracted to pinpoints.

With her right hand raised, Luna completed her Magical Girls transformation in an instant, without giving the camera any time or space to show her transformation. In the slowed-down shots around her, she grabbed Fang Ming, who was still standing, and simultaneously raised her gun, aiming it at the strange bird!

Bang!!!

Gunshots rang out, screams finally erupted, and chaos ensued. Luna then hypnotized Fang Ming, knocking him unconscious before he could realize what was happening, and placed him in a corner.

"He... is injured!"

Luna, who had fired a shot, didn't check on the strange bird's condition; instead, she anxiously looked at Fang Ming, who had blocked the attack for her.

Lien poked her head out from next to Luna and said to Luna:

"Use magic to stop his bleeding, then try to find Little Red; she should have a healing form... but before that..."

Lien looked at the strange bird not far away.

Luna's shot brought the strange bird down from the sky. The bird lay fallen far away, its head still swaying as it struggled to its feet.

Around it, people were running in panic, everyone had seen the strange bird, and some even risked their lives, hiding under desks and cabinets, taking out their phones to take pictures.

The existence of this strange person was finally exposed to everyone at this moment!

Although the strange person in the hospital had already been exposed to others some time ago, for some reason, everyone around seemed to have forgotten about it that day.

Luna had no idea that the reason Xiao Bai was late was because he was trying to erase the memories of the onlookers and the surrounding video recordings.

That's why the strange person's situation wasn't exposed that day.

But now...

This strange bird had previously fallen from the sky, and now it has directly attacked the stadium, where the largest crowd is.

More importantly, last time the Demons only collected the Despair Power in the air and did not go down below to wreak havoc, which prevented the onlookers from running away.

But now, these passersby have scattered and fled when they encountered danger, and heaven knows how many of them have escaped their magical range!

The exposure of the weirdo is inevitable, but what's even more worrying is that there seems to be more than one weirdo!

"Witch--! Seize her--!"

Boom!!!

The wall outside the stadium was smashed open, and a huge rhinoceros covered in armor, like an armored tank, charged wildly toward Luna.

Luna was caught off guard, grabbed by the body, and propelled through the opposite wall, bursting out of the stadium and onto the street!

The screen rotates to show two minutes ago.

After tidying herself up a bit and using cleansing magic, Aurora, holding a cola in one hand and her other hand in her pocket, wearing wired headphones, looked like a delinquent girl as she staggered towards the gymnasium.

"The uncle's book signing is here? Hmm... it's quite big. I think this is where the mayor of N City campaigned last time..."

Aurora reminisces about the past.

A few months ago, the mayor of N City gave a speech here in preparation for his re-election. Harvey brought Aurora here for a visit and happened to watch the mayor's speech.

Therefore, Aurora was quite familiar with this place.

Kelly responded through Aurora's earpiece, "Mr. Fang Ming is a celebrity, so it's not surprising that he uses this place for a book signing... Hmm?"

"What's wrong?"
