Chapter 248
Aurora slept in her arms, her tall frame tightly enveloping Aurora's body.
Xiao Bai leaned against Xilisi's back, while Luna lay on Xilisi's lap.
This scene of Magical Girls taking a nap together only occupies the lower half of the screen.
As the music begins, the upper half of the screen displays scenes from Xilisi's past.
The images containing Xilisi's memories slide one by one from right to left.
The screen scrolls slowly. When each lyric begins, the screen is in the center, and after the lyrics end, the screen moves to the far left, leaving the area of Sky Screen.
These scenes are all memorable moments in Xilisi's life.
There are scenes of Xilisi's birth, Xilisi learning to speak and walk, Xilisi playing with her parents, and picnicking.
Then... the fire took everything away. He and his companions escaped from the orphanage, scavenged on the streets, were scammed out of a high-paying job, and met Aurora...
As the music and visuals continue, the scene below also changes.
When the music reached its first stage, Luna woke up, picked up Lien, and left.
Then, Xiao Bai yawned, got up, ruffled Xilisi's fur, and left the frame.
Because of Xiao Bai's movement, Xilisi rolled over, and the blanket on her slipped to the floor.
Then Aurora woke up, stretched lazily, and with her hair all messy, she lazily left the scene.
However, Aurora soon returned from outside, covered Xilisi with the blanket, and then left.
As the scene above nears its end, the Magical Girls below awaken one by one, and the music comes to a close.
Finally, Xilisi woke up, hugging her blanket, looking around blankly, then got up and went to the window behind her.
She reached out and opened the window. The cold wind outside made her shiver and unconsciously wrap herself in a blanket, but she didn't close the window.
She wrapped herself in the blanket and looked up at the night sky.
The night sky was filled with twinkling stars when a shooting star streaked down from above, tracing a brief but dazzling arc across the night.
[ED, that's the end]
(Damn it, Sky Screen, are you going to kill me?!)
(If you're just listening to this song, it's fine... but seeing such a heartwarming scene, and then thinking about the plot of episode seven... I can't take it anymore.)
(Waaaaah, this is too much... waaaaah... this is just too much...)
(Xilisi, oh my, my Xilisi, my big catgirl...!)
Viewers were already feeling sentimental because of the plot of the seventh episode, but the ending theme music, paired with the heartwarming visuals, dealt them another heavy blow.
The more heartwarming the ending theme was, the more cruel it felt to everyone.
If the Aurora Society, and if Xilisi had been able to successfully become Magical Girls, the heartwarming scene in the ending theme might very well have become a reality.
Everyone gathered together, and when they got tired of playing, they lay down on the warm living room floor for a short rest.
No one was hurt, no one died, and no one left.
Instead of the ending of Sky Screen.
"..."
Chen Xiaoxia, who had finally managed to hold back her tears, broke down in tears again.
But she didn't cry out; she just silently shed tears, then silently transformed into Magical Girls. A giant sword appeared in her hand, and after a long silence, she suddenly roared:
"The Aurora Borealis will be here!!!!"
Just as Chen Xiaoxia was about to transform into a 'shooting star' to settle scores with the Aurora Society, the remaining Magical Girls quickly pulled her back.
"Xiaoxia, calm down! Calm down!! Xiao Bai should have already finished the battle, there's no point in going now, and... isn't Xilisi alright!"
Xiao Chun grabbed Chen Xiaoxia's arm and shouted.
It took a lot of persuasion to convince Chen Xiaoxia to come back.
But before the Magical Girls could breathe a sigh of relief, the post-credits scene on the Sky Screen made Magical Girls tense again.
Xiao Bai has left the dream.
But her situation is hardly good.
The dark red lines on her face had not faded, and her steps became unsteady. Finally, she collapsed beside a giant rock.
She landed Youyou beside her and said anxiously:
"This is too reckless! They know perfectly well there's no way to stop it!"
"... Xiao Qiu... saved me." Xiao Bai gasped for breath, struggling to steady her breathing. She said, "... Back then... she clearly saved me, why...?"
"You're different from Xilisi!" Youyou said. "You should say you're different from all the other Magical Girls! No one has ever been able to turn the power of corruption into their own power. Even if someone did... they would no longer be Magical Girls, or even human."
"So..."
"... Was there no way to save Xilisi from the very beginning?"
"..." Youyou silent.
Xiao Bai gave a self-deprecating laugh. Leaning against the boulder, she looked up at the sky and murmured to herself, "... What exactly am I doing? Giving someone hope without permission, only to let them despair in the end. Maybe I should have just... um!"
She didn't finish her sentence.
The sudden, sharp pain caused her to clutch her abdomen and collapse to the ground.
The black and red markings on her body began to fade, but the further she went, the more intense the pain became.
The background sound changed to the sound of a violent heartbeat, and with each wave of pain, a double image effect appeared on Xiao Bai's body.
Youyou anxiously knelt beside her, calling out, "Xiao Bai!! Xiao Bai!! Are you alright?! Hey!!! Cheer up!!!"
"..." Xiao Bai was in so much pain that she didn't have the strength to answer.
She lay on the ground, her vision blurring, and finally, unable to hold on any longer, she closed her eyes.
The screen went dark.
Finally, only Youyou's anxious shouts rang out:
"Xiao Bai --!!!!!"
End of episode 7.
(?)
(No!! Holy crap! No!!!!)
(Is Xiao Bai going to get into trouble too? Oh no...)
(Damn it, rumors are circulating that you're addicted to sending out daggers, huh! If anything happens to Xiao Bai, I... I... I'll go to the temple and curse you!!)
(Xiao Bai must have absorbed too much Erosive Power. Last time she was tainted by Erosive Power, she almost didn't make it back. This time...)
(My stomach hurts so much... Does anyone have stomach medicine? Help me...)
(What I need right now is nitroglycerin...)
"Xiao Bai!!"
This time, it was Xiao Qiu who was losing her composure.
Not only Xiao Qiu, Song Niandong and Xiao Chun also stood up at the same time. Several Magical Girls who cared about Xiao Bai wanted to rush to Xiao Bai's side immediately.
Fortunately, everyone remained relatively calm. After catching her breath for a while, Xiao Chun suppressed her worry and turned to Kelly, asking:
"Ms. Kelly, where is Xiao Bai now?"
"Ah... she's still at the Aurora Society, and she's fine, so don't worry."
Kelly reassured everyone.
On the Sky Screen, Xiao Bai lies on the ground, its fate unknown, but in reality, Xiao Bai is full of energy and has wiped out two Aurora Society bases.
Yes, there are two places.
One is the base where Luna discovered and rescued Xilisi.
And another place-
"You're the person in charge of this base?"
In the Aurora Society's third base, which was also the last top-tier base, the Xiao Bai Xiaobai stood before the last person in charge of this base.
Although Xiao Bai looks like a girl of about ten years old, the person in charge in front of him dared not lower his guard at all because of Xiao Bai appearance.
On the contrary, she was even more terrified, so terrified that her body was trembling.
Because in Xiao Bai's hands, the powerful monster who Aurora Society is now only left with his shoulders and head, dying with his eyes wide open, being held in the hands of the little girl Xiao Bai.
She carried the mangled body of the strange man in one hand, and held a scythe in the other, its blade pressed against the person in charge's neck.
With just the slightest movement, the person in charge would be decapitated.

Volume 3 Side Story <Magical Girl Aurora>: Chapter 274 Bear Sis?
"You... you can't kill me!!!"
The woman in front of him seemed to have thought of something, and as if grasping at a lifeline, she spoke anxiously and rapidly to Xiao Bai:
"If... you don't want anything to happen to another Magical Girls --Eek!!!"
The woman's threatening words had barely left her lips when Xiao Bai threw the grotesque body, now only a head and a small part of a shoulder, in front of her, causing her to scream in terror.
"Are you threatening me?" Xiao Bai tilted her head, asking seemingly calmly.
The woman immediately knelt down and cried out, "I'm sorry! I... I didn't... I... I just wanted to say... we... we still have a strange... no, Magical Girls! There's another Magical Girls here, just like Xilisi! And if we want her to survive, the base needs to keep operating!"
Where is she?
Xiao Bai spun the sickle, and the tip of the sickle cut a wound on the woman's neck.
The person in charge immediately said, "It's right here in the deepest part! I... I can take you there!!!"
"..."
Xiao Bai squinted and put away its sickle.
Seeing a glimmer of hope, the woman knelt on the ground with a sigh of relief, but the next second she kowtowed to Xiao Bai and said:
"Spare me... spare me!! I... I was forced!! Really...! It was the Aurora Society... those higher-ups in the Aurora Society wanted immortality, so they made me do this!"
"Those people... they're a bunch of scum, degenerates who deserve to die!! This world... this world certainly needs someone like you, someone who truly wields great power, to rule it! If you're willing, I... I can do things for you... I—"
"How many experiments have you conducted?" Xiao Bai suddenly interrupted the woman and asked softly.
The woman froze, "I... I did it..."
"You must have reformed quite a few people, right?"
"This is all... this is all because of the Aurora Society... Yes, I was taking emergency evasive action... I... I..."
"Aren't you addicted to it?"
Xiao Bai continued to ask calmly.
The woman didn't answer, but the smile on her face proved that Xiao Bai was right.
Under the spell's Suggestion, the woman made no attempt to hide her feelings; she truly treated the experiment as a form of entertainment to please herself.
This time, Xiao Bai didn't speak. She silently took out her phone, turned it off, and then used the chain to destroy all the surrounding cameras.
Afterwards, she put away her phone, and her body underwent changes in front of the woman.
A magical glow enveloped Xiao Bai, and after the light faded, a boy of the same age as Xiao Bai appeared before the woman.
"Huh?"
The change in gender confuses women, but what follows fills them with fear.
The little boy's body grew larger, enveloped in black and red magic, and his enormous form appeared before the woman.
Covered in armor, his cloak fluttering even without wind, the tall figure extended a finger to the woman, the tip touching her forehead.
