Chapter 259
However, this bout of crying seemed to clear her mind, making her understand many things she couldn't figure out before.
Therefore, she is no longer as obsessed with winning or losing as before.
To describe it in a rather surreal, fantasy-style way.
That's probably what it means to have 'inner demons vanquished and the mind clear'.
After saying this so casually, Chen Xiaoxia waved to Xiao Bai and said:
"Alright, I won't challenge you again unless I'm prepared. Anyway, I can't beat you. I'm leaving now, it's so cold outside, I'm going to the living room to look at the Sky Screen."
Chen Xiaoxia came shyly but left gracefully, her steps even lighter, showing that she had indeed resolved her inner conflict.
Only after Chen Xiaoxia left did Xiao Bai vaguely remember something.
Didn't this guy say today that the loser had to promise the winner something?
And she just seemed to admit defeat?
No wonder she ran so fast!
So that's why she was afraid of remembering this.
Xiao Bai guessed wrong.
Chen Xiaoxia didn't really think much about it.
She just felt a little uncomfortable staying by Xiao Bai 'Xiao Bai side after confiding in him.
Besides, it was indeed a bit chilly on the balcony, and Xiaoxia was wearing pajamas.
Although Magical Girls are immune to both heat and cold, that doesn't mean they won't feel uncomfortable when they're cold.
Compared to the cold air outside, it's definitely more comfortable inside a warm room.
Almost all the Magical Girls were in the living room, even Aurora, who had been hiding from everyone, was sitting there with Xilisi.
Xiao Qiu and Dongdong are helping Xilisi integrate into the group.
Xiao Chun had been staring at the stairs. When she saw Xiaoxia come downstairs, she seemed to breathe a small sigh of relief, though it was unclear what she was worried about.
However, upon seeing Xiao Chun, Xiaoxia inexplicably thought of the words Fang Ming had reprimanded her over the phone earlier that day.
Those words... weren't harsh, but they effectively brought Xiaoxia to her senses, making her realize her mistakes and immaturity.
But when she thought of Fang Ming on the phone, gentle yet stern, scolding her like an older brother, Xiaoxia blushed a little.
She sat down next to Xiao Chun and said to Xiao Chun:
"Xiao Chun, I'm starting to understand you."
"Um?"
Xiao Chun looked over, confused.
Chen Xiaoxia rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the sky, and murmured, "Brother Fang Ming, he really is very handsome..."
"Of course... um???"
Chen Xiaoxia and tell her how outstanding Xiao Chun Fang Ming was, suddenly realized something was wrong.
Buhou!!
Xiaoxia is...?
Xiao Chun's eyes widened as she was about to ask Xiaoxia what she thought of Fang Ming.
It was at this moment that the Sky Screen suddenly lit up, and episode eight began to play in the sky.
The appearance of the eighth episode drew everyone's attention to the Sky Screen, and also made Xiao Chun temporarily give up questioning Xiaoxia.
Although Xiaoxia's change in attitude towards Fang Ming is making Xiao Chun very worried, well... there's still time, so let's finish watching episode eight first.
[Episode 8 of Sky Screen, following the end of Episode 7, which is the point in time when Aurora had just killed Xilisi.]
In the Dream World, Xilisi was killed by Aurora. In the real world, Xilisi's enormous body crashed down, only to be caught by Aurora and gently placed on the ground.
"..."
Aurora's expression was calm; she didn't even shed a single tear, and her calmness was frightening.
"Little Red...?"
Lien, perched on Luna's shoulder, called out to Aurora with considerable concern.
Aurora didn't answer; instead, she placed her hand on Xilisi's forehead and gently stroked it as if the other were still alive.
Suddenly, she asked Lien:
"... The Aurora Society... right?"
"What?"
"The guy who turned Little Xilisi into this, who insulted her life, was someone from the Aurora Society, wasn't he?"
"Um..."
"Tell me the location of the Aurora Society's base, as far as you know."
"...I'm sorry, I can't tell you," Lien said softly.
Aurora turned around instantly, her crimson eyes blazing with a fury that could almost devour a person.
"What did you say!!!"
She took two steps forward, intending to grab Lien and question her, but Luna forced her back.
At this moment, Lien said, "Something's wrong with you right now, so I can't tell you the location of the Aurora Society's base that I know. Little Red, you need to calm down..."
"Xilisi is dead!!!" Aurora's eyes finally reddened as she shouted, "And the person who turned her into this is still alive and well! How can I possibly stay calm!!!"
"I know, but... I'm sorry."
"You bastard--!!!"
Aurora was about to step forward again when Kelly stopped her, as she was about to do something to Lien.
"Aurora, calm down. You're exhausted and need to rest."
Kelly's gentle voice sounded in my ear.
Aurora stopped moving, staring blankly at Lien and Luna in front of her, before finally turning her head to look at Xilisi lying on the ground.
She knelt before Xilisi, gazing at her motionless 'sister,' and could no longer contain her grief. She collapsed onto Xilisi's body, letting out a mournful cry that echoed almost across the wilderness:
"Ughh..."
[OP plays.]

Uh, I was originally planning to post this tomorrow, since I need to keep some drafts in case of emergencies, but I didn't expect this part of the plot to be so controversial, so I'll just post it all together and skip this part of the plot.
And now...
I've lost my save file. [shrug]
So I plan to take a day off tomorrow and resume updates the day after tomorrow.
After all, I'm really unsure of myself without a draft in hand...
Volume 3 Side Story <Magical Girl Aurora>: Adding a leave request.
RT, I'm taking a day off, since I already submitted today's update yesterday.
(~￣▽￣)~
That's all, see you tomorrow~~~

Volume 3 Side Story <Magical Girl Aurora>: Chapter 285 Fang Ming Comes Knocking!
(Lightning Strike at the opening ceremony...)
(Sigh, I finally felt a little better after a day of recovery, and then this is what happens at the beginning of episode eight.)
(Xilisi, sob sob... my big catgirl...)
(Does anyone know what happened to Xilisi in real life?)
(I heard that Xiao Qiu and the others rescued her and she is safe now, but no further details have been released.)
(It's probably to protect Xilisi. Xiao Qiu and the others' whereabouts are no longer public; all we know is that they're in N City...)
(Please understand, after all, Xiao Qiu and the others are really famous now.)
Perhaps because the real-life Xilisi is still safe and sound, the comments on the Sky Screen didn't seem very sad.
Meanwhile, in reality, Xilisi was staring blankly at her reflection in the Sky Screen, blinking in disbelief.
"Is that... me? It's so big..."
In reality, Xilisi is not very tall, about the same height as Xiao Qiu, or perhaps a little shorter.
Xiao Qiu's height is average among Magical Girls; shorter than Xiao Bai and Xiaoxia, but taller than Xiao Chun and Dongdong.
But the Xilisi on the Sky Screen, standing over two meters tall, was practically a little giant, so it's no wonder Xilisi made that remark.
Seeing herself reflected in the Sky Screen, a different version of herself, left Xilisi with mixed feelings.
She spent half of her time today doing rehabilitation training and the other half listening to Xiao Qiu and the others explain the current situation.
She only had a little over an hour before the movie started playing on the Sky Screen to catch up on the episodes.
I've only just finished watching the second season and haven't seen the spin-offs yet, so the image of myself on the Sky Screen feels quite unfamiliar.
It's like they're two completely different people.
"That's the wrong form," Lien explained to Xilisi. "You shouldn't have become like that. You should have become Magical Girls. It was the Aurora Society you to enter the wrong form... So don't worry about the form on the Sky Screen. Just focus on experiencing your own Emotion Seed."
"... yes!"
Xilisi nodded seriously and wrote down what Lien had said.
She was a very serious and obedient child. Being experimented on by the Aurora Society did not make her lose hope in the world. On the contrary, when she heard that she might become Magical Girls, she was filled with hope.
Girls Emotion Seed can be activated are children like this, whose hearts are filled with hope and expectation for the world.
But it is often these kinds of girls who suffer the most.
Aurora sat down next to Xilisi, her expression softening considerably as she looked at the earnest Xilisi.
Although this was her first meeting with Xilisi, Aurora already regarded her as her younger sister, just like she herself in the Sky Screen.
The scene after the opening sequence did not continue with Aurora's crying.
A large sign reading "Three days later" appeared on the Sky Screen and then disappeared. The camera quickly panned down to a building in front of it.
Crocodile Real Estate.
The headquarters of the Crocodile Brotherhood.
Fang Ming, who was holding a cane for some reason, walked towards the Crocodile Brotherhood building.
No one stopped them at the entrance, because although this was the headquarters of the Crocodile Brotherhood, the actual offices of the gang were located on the twentieth floor and above.
Below the 20th floor is the Crocodile Real Estate office.
This place mainly deals in buying and selling houses and renting them out. There are many ordinary people coming and going. Fang Ming, who is alone and wearing a baseball cap and glasses, is inconspicuous in the crowd.
It wasn't until Fang Ming entered and, instead of going to the front desk, stepped into the elevator leading to floors 20 and above, that he attracted attention.
