Chapter 299
Nino suddenly thought of something and asked Xiao Chun:
"By the way, where is Fang Ming now? He hasn't shown up at all lately, only talking to us via video. At this rate, will he be able to come back on the Confession Day?"
"... You don't need to worry about that! I'm sure I'll see Brother Fang Ming!"
Xiao Chun said with absolute certainty.
But when this was mentioned, Xiao Chun suddenly looked towards the children's clothing section of the mall.
He suddenly remembered that Fang Ming didn't seem to have many clothes to wear. The only clothes that fit him were Fang Ming bought casually from a roadside stall after he shrunk.
How can this be!
Fang Ming is very charming; even as a child, he's the most handsome kid!
Xiao Chun didn't want Fang Ming's charm to be overshadowed by his clothes, so... why not pick out a few outfits for Fang Ming?
Xiao Chun has figured out what gift to give.
Just as Xiao Chun was choosing a gift, her phone suddenly rang.
Surprised, Xiao Chun opened her phone. Before she could even see who was calling, Kelly's Data Doppelganger instantly popped up from the phone and said to Xiao Chun:
"Something terrible has happened! Xiao Chun! Come back quickly!!"
"!!"
Kelly's anxious look instantly put Xiao Chun into a serious state, and she asked in a deep voice:
"What's wrong, Ms. Kelly? What happened? Did the Aurora Society show up? Or is it Demons...?"
"No! None of that!!" Kelly exclaimed urgently, "It's Xiao Qiu! Xiao Qiu and the others are missing!!!"
"!!!?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chun held her breath.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 327 Youyou: You've finally met your match!
In the Magical Girls's lounge.
Xiao Bai, Aurora, and Xiao Chun gathered together, sitting around the coffee table, looking at the book on it, speechless.
After a while, Xiao Bai pointed to the book on the coffee table and asked Kelly:
"So, this thing is the [Wish Book] from the game? Does that mean Xiao Qiu and the others are inside this book right now?"
"Well, if the surveillance footage in the lounge hasn't been altered, then that's about it."
Kelly pointed to the security camera in the corner of the lounge and said.
After the Magical Girl Alliance designated this place as its headquarters, Xiao Bai installed surveillance cameras throughout the base.
Except for bedrooms, public restrooms, and bathrooms, almost every other place has one.
Xiao Bai explained that this way, if anyone has an accident, everyone can observe what happened through the surveillance footage.
Kelly initially thought Xiao Bai was making a mountain out of a molehill, but now it seems Xiao Bai was right.
If it weren't for the surveillance cameras in the break room, they don't know how long it would have taken them to discover the truth about Xiao Qiu and the others' disappearance.
Kelly, who had observed Xiao Qiu and the others being drawn into the Wish Book through surveillance, immediately went online to search for detailed information about the book.
Without a doubt, this is a prop that was activated through Dongdong's 'Friend Magic'.
Its function is very simple: to create a paradise-like world within it and fulfill the wishes of certain people.
Of course, since it's called a paradise, the wish that was fulfilled is naturally fake, but for the people involved, the wish that was fulfilled is absolutely real.
Moreover, once the wish is fulfilled, the book's magic will wear off; in short, for most people, it's just a harmless toy.
But toys aside, the problem now is that Xiao Qiu and her friends are caught up in this book, and how can Xiao Bai and the others outside get them out?
"Normally, when Xiao Qiu and the others are satisfied, or if there is external force forcibly intervening, they will be able to leave."
Kelly looked at the information online and explained.
Xiao Bai placed her hand on the book, magic surging within her. "So, we can just destroy it?"
"Pretty much... but I don't recommend doing that."
Seeing that Xiao Bai was really about to destroy the book, Kelly quickly tried to persuade Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow at her. "Why?"
"If someone suddenly wakes you up from a sweet dream, wouldn't you be annoyed? So..."
Kelly used an analogy that everyone could understand.
The girls who are now inside the book are essentially having an extremely beautiful dream that they can immerse themselves in.
It is obviously not a pleasant thing to forcibly wake someone from a beautiful dream through external force.
Besides, everyone has been busy lately, and this is a rare time for rest. It's a bit inhumane to not give people a chance to dream after they've finished their work and to forcibly interrupt their dreams.
After all, given Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia's abilities, if they really wanted to get out, they probably wouldn't need to wait for Xiao Bai and the others to return.
The fact that they haven't been able to get out now strongly suggests that they've chosen to stay inside.
So--
"Alright... then let's wait for them to come out on their own."
Xiao Bai exhales.
"But speaking of which..." Xiao Chun suddenly said, "... I'm a little curious about what their wishes are..."
"Hmm."
Xiao Bai pondered for a moment, then looked at the Wish Book on the desk and asked Kelly:
"Can we go inside this book?"
"The magic has already been activated, so it's unlikely you can get in. However... if you turn the pages, you should be able to see what they're doing."
Kelly provided the answers.
The Magical Girls outside exchanged glances. Finally, Xiao Chun took the book and said very seriously:
"Just take a look. If there's anything you don't want to see, close it immediately!"
"Can."
Xiao Bai nodded in agreement.
The three Magical Girls then exchanged glances and turned to a page in their book.
The first scene to appear is Dongdong's wish scene.
Sunshine, blue sky, white clouds.
It was a sunny summer day.
Song Niandong linked arms with Fang Ming, and they strolled around the amusement park together.
The two were dressed in similar styles, making them look like siblings, but also more like a couple.
At first glance, they looked almost no different from the other couples who had come to the amusement park.
"Brother Fang Ming, I want to play this!"
"Brother Fang Ming, I want to play this too!"
"Brother Fang Ming, let's take a picture together!"
While strolling around the amusement park with Fang Ming, Song Niandong would occasionally act coquettishly towards Fang Ming. Her charming tone and bold words were completely different from her usual slightly introverted self.
Fang Ming, from the Wish Book, will also earnestly respond to all of Song Niandong's requests.
Whatever the requirement.
Judging from the current situation, Song Niandong simply wanted to have a 'date' with Fang Ming that was just the two of them, and it was the kind of date that was between siblings. Overall, she didn't do anything too outrageous.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
It seems that the wishes that can be fulfilled in the Wish Book are relatively positive, and there won't be any wishes that are too outrageous or contrary to human nature.
Seeing this, Xiao Chun felt relieved and nodded in satisfaction at Song Niandong in the book.
Very good. As long as you don't have any impure thoughts about Fang Ming, I don't mind having another little sister!
Don't worry, Dongdong. If Fang Ming I really get together in the future, I will definitely take good care of you together with him.
Xiao Chun exuded the air of an "official wife," but the scene that appeared in the book immediately made Xiao Chun smile vanish.
After playing with Fang Ming all day, Song Niandong and Fang Ming rode the Ferris wheel in the amusement park together.
This is probably a must-do activity for most visitors to amusement parks.
Couples, in particular, often choose to ride the Ferris wheel at night to enjoy the city's night view and then do some intimate things with their partners.
Song Niandong and Fang Ming are set up as siblings, so logically there shouldn't be any ambiguous scenes between them.
But—perhaps because she felt she was in a dream, Song Niandong's actions became much bolder.
As the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, Song Niandong, in a coquettish tone, made one last request to Fang Ming:
"Brother Fang Ming, can... you kiss me?"
"Good."
Fang Ming smiled and nodded in the Wish Book.
The background between them suddenly turned pink, with bubbles of ambiguity surrounding them.
The two were about to kiss on the Ferris wheel.
Xiao Chun slams the book shut in an instant, and the scene freezes at that moment.
"... Shameless!!!"
Xiao Chun, having closed the book, shouted loudly to Song Niandong inside.
Aurora looked at Xiao Chun with a strange expression. Recalling Xiao Chun's behavior towards Xiao Bai recently, she muttered to herself:
"You don't seem to have the right to talk about people like that, do you?"
"...!"
Xiao Chun froze.
No matter what Song Niandong thought about it, it was only in his dreams, but Xiao Chun had already done something similar in reality.
In this comparison, Xiao Chun really doesn't seem to have the right to talk about Song Niandong...
"But that's one thing, that's another!! Dongdong... she... she's shameless for doing that!"
Xiao Chun said, her face flushed.
Song Niandong has always been seen as Fang Ming's younger sister. Because she is his younger sister, Xiao Chun is not very wary of Song Niandong, and Song Niandong herself has never thought about becoming Fang Ming's girlfriend.
But now, in the dream... no, what's going on with the Wish Book?
Did she actively ask Fang Ming for a kiss?
Is this something a younger sister should do?
Which 'little sister' is this!?
Xiao Chun gritted her teeth, feeling remorse and self-blame.
She was careless; she never expected that Song Niandong, this pretty young girl, would betray her!
"Um, well... let's look at the next page."
As the object of their rivalry, Xiao Bai didn't know what to say. She coughed, interrupting Xiao Chun and Aurora's debate, and turned to the next page of her book.
As for Song Niandong's matter, we can educate her properly after she comes out of the book.
Let's see what other people's wishes are.
Having seen a side of Song Niandong that no one else knew, Xiao Bai now very curious to know what the others are like in the Wish Book.
The next page contains Youyou's wishes.
