Chapter 386

Xilisi dared not participate in their discussion, and as they led her away, Xilisi dared not say anything.

Now it's even more so. Stella brought her here without explaining why, how long she'd be staying, or when she'd be taken back, and Xilisi didn't dare ask a single question.

Ultimately, she wasn't Magical Girls, so what right did she have to ask Magical Girls what they were supposed to do?

But then again... Stella isn't exactly Magical Girls, is she?

"Cough!"

As Xilisi was deep in thought, she suddenly heard a soft cough.

Xilisi paused, looking towards the sound of the cough, but saw nothing.

I looked around, but found nothing.

"?"

Just as Xilisi was puzzled, a slightly familiar voice came from in front of her:

"Here, here!"

"..."

Turning her head, looking down, Xilisi's eyes widened slightly.

On the rock directly in front of her, a cute, fluffy sheep doll was waving at her.

At first glance, Xilisi fell in love with the adorable sheep doll, but Xilisi soon realized what it really was.

"A... Magical Creatures?!"

Xilisi gasped in surprise.

But as soon as she finished shouting, Xilisi recalled the sheep doll's voice, and her pupils dilated again:

"Wait, you... you're not Xiao Bai, are you...?"

"Oh my, you actually guessed it?"

The sheep doll was quite surprised, but she didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "Yes, I'm Xiao Bai. This is my new form. Um... don't tell anyone for now. Currently, only you, me, and Kelly know about this form."

That day, Xiao Bai transformed into Magical Creatures, and Kelly was the only person who saw it.

Stella returned after Xiao Bai returned to normal, so she was unaware that Xiao Bai could transform into Magical Creatures.

As for the questions about Magical Creatures and second-generation Magical Girls that followed, Fang Ming just made up an excuse to ask them.

Therefore, very few people know that Xiao Bai can transform into Magical Creatures.

Fang Ming himself, Kelly, and now Xilisi —that's about all the people who know about this.

Looking at the Xiao Bai that could transform into Magical Creatures, Xilisi was quite surprised.

She couldn't understand why Xiao Bai could transform into Magical Creatures, or what Xiao Bai's purpose was in summoning her.

She blinked, about to ask a question.

Then Xiao Bai asked, "Xilisi, do you want to become Magical Girls?"

"!!"

Xilisi froze, pointing to herself and asking, "Can... can I still become Magical Girls?"

"Otherwise, why would I greet you in this manner?"

Xiao Bai countered with a question, and then stated directly to Xilisi, "In this form, I can form contracts with Magical Girls. Currently, I haven't formed a contract with any Magical Girls yet. If you wish, I can form a contract with you first."

"After all, you also want to become a Magical Girls, right?"

"I..."

Do you want to become a Magical Girls?

Xilisi stared blankly into thought.

Perhaps she did want to become a Magical Girls before, but after seeing the Magical Girls' performances in the Sky Screen and looking at the efforts of Magical Girls in reality, Xilisi felt that she was not worthy of becoming a Magical Girls.

She was just a lucky, tragic character who possessed a slight aptitude for Magical Girls and appeared briefly in the Sky Screen.

Whether she truly qualifies to become Magical Girls, or whether she can become a qualified Magical Girls, remains unknown.

Based on her performance in the Sky Screen, Xilisi even felt that she was probably not suited to be Magical Girls.

After all, she couldn't resist the erosion on her own.

A flurry of thoughts raced through her mind. Looking at the adorable little lamb before her, Xilisi bit her lip, and with great effort turned her head away, saying:

"... I... am not suited to be Magical Girls! Let's give this opportunity... to someone more suitable!"

As Xilisi spoke, the tiger ears on her head twitched restlessly.

Seeing her trembling ears, Xiao Bai knew that Xilisi actually wanted to become Magical Girls; she just didn't think she was suitable.

Xiao Bai stared intently at Xilisi for a long time, then suddenly said:

"No one can become a qualified Magical Girls from the start, including Xiao Qiu and the others. Anyone who watched the first season knows how inexperienced they were at the beginning, but in the end, didn't they still grow into qualified Magical Girls?"

"..."

"I don't expect you to accept immediately, but I hope you'll think it over carefully. This is a rare opportunity, and once you miss it, you may never have another chance."

After saying all this, Xiao Bai said to Xilisi:

"Alright, I've already sent Stella to pick you up. Go back and think it over carefully. I have things to do, and I hope that by the time I'm done and come back... you'll have thought it through."

As soon as she finished speaking, the little sheep doll disappeared from in front of Xilisi.

Xilisi stared blankly at the spot where the sheep doll had disappeared.

Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 418 Meeting with Lesos

What Fang Ming needed to do was to arrange the meeting with Lesos, as mentioned before.

With the Magical Girls' affairs concluded, Fang Ming naturally wanted to meet with Lesos.

Because it was already clearly shown in the Sky Screen that if the Magical Girls wanted more time to develop, then the Demon King and the four Demons Lords must be sealed away.

At this moment, the only person capable of sealing these heavyweight figures is Lesos, and it can only be Lesos.

But unlike the one in the Sky Screen Curtain, Lesos doesn't know Xiao Qiu and the others' potential.

She wanted to come to this world to put Xiao Qiu and the others to a test, but Yu Muqiu is currently unable to awaken the Shining 2 form.

Therefore, Fang Ming must first meet and negotiate with Lesos.

At the very least, it must be ensured that Lesos doesn't change her mind halfway through and turn the Magical Girls into Witch.

Through Stella, Fang Ming confirmed that the meeting place between him and Lesos would be outside the World Barrier.

And within Lesos's Witch's Barrier.

Choosing this location was also the result of discussions between Fang Ming and Lesos.

After all, Fang Ming wouldn't feel comfortable letting Lesos enter the World Barrier directly, and Lesos's clone here also needed to ensure its own safety. Therefore, Lesos's own Witch's Barrier became the best place for negotiation.

"You actually dared to come alone?"

This was the first thing Lesos said to Fang Ming during their meeting.

Fang Ming looked at Lesos with curiosity.

Just like the image displayed in the Sky Screen, she had silver hair, pale eyes, blood-red lips, and delicate, fair skin like a doll.

She wore a purple-black dress that resembled an evening gown, and held a parasol of the same color in her hand. Standing on the green grass within the barrier, she resembled a Western noblewoman, exuding aristocratic elegance and the charm of a noblewoman.

What's most eye-catching, of course, is her impressive female features. Fang Ming couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, but then his attention was drawn to the small screen next to the Witch:

The screen next to you is...

"Sky Screen, you should be able to see it."

With a wave of her hand, the Witch's magic within the barrier condensed and formed a white round table and chairs. The Witch, Lesos, gestured for Fang Ming:

"It's been around me since I first came into this world. I've watched the movies and the third season. Hmm... not a bad little trick."

Little trick?

Fang Ming noticed the Witch's choice of words. He casually sat down opposite Witch asked:

"Judging from your tone, you seem to know how the Sky Screen appears?"

"I don't know, but I have a guess."

The Witch continued to create teapots and teacups, and personally poured Fang Ming a cup of black tea.

He continued, "The only ones capable of creating this are those with either fate-related abilities or Precognition abilities. Of course, it's also possible that it's a projection created by a Magical Girls from the future, but based on my current observations..."

The Witch picked up her teacup, squinted at Fang Ming, and said, "This thing is more like a special kind of 'rule'."

"Rule..."

"That's right. What each Demons represents is actually equivalent to 'rules': death, fear, Greed Demon ... The Demons's name represents their nature, but it also represents the abilities they possess, and these abilities are the manifestation of the rules."

The Witch explained.

"What about Magical Girls?" Fang Ming asked again.

The Witch smiled and replied, "The power wielded by Magical Girls is, in fact, also a kind of rule."

"Whether it's hope or light, the essence of improving one's strength is simply advancing along the path of the rules one has awakened."

After listening to the Witch's explanation, Fang Ming roughly understood what she meant.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "So, does that mean 'the Sky Screen' is also a kind of rule? Is it related to Magical Girls, or to Demons?"

"I don't know, I'm not sure, and as I said, this is just my guess."

The Witch smiled and drank the black tea in her cup in one gulp.

Ultimately, the Witch's understanding of the origins of the Sky Screen was merely speculation.

Although Magical Girls have all sorts of abilities, it's not surprising that they possess Precognition abilities or the ability to project images from their minds.

However, creating such a massive Sky Screen across an entire world, and even having a screen right next to Lesos that can't be moved no matter what, is something no ordinary person could do.

Even Lesos thinks that someone capable of doing this is no exaggeration to call her a god.

Fang Ming didn't know what Lesos was thinking, but Lesos words gave him some inspiration.

Fang Ming knows now is that all the storylines about <Magic Autumn>—the main story, the spin-offs, and the theatrical version—are actually written by another person.

This is suspected to be Stella's future 'Record Bear'.

Let's define her for now as someone outside the box; she recorded everything in this world and turned it into 'anime' in her own world.

So the question is, who projected this 'anime' into the world?

From his two dreams about the Record Bear, Fang Ming concluded that the Record Bear itself might not possess any extraordinary powers.

She's probably just an ordinary person; she can't become Magical Girls, and she can't use magic.

Based on this, it's highly likely that the Record Bear lived likely didn't possess any extraordinary powers.

If that's the case, then the projection on the Sky Screen must have nothing to do with Record Bear.

The only people or powers that can project 'anime' into this world are those related to Magical Girls.

And it's very likely not 'now'.

At least not the Magical Girls Fang Ming knows now.

It's not hard to infer from Lesos's words that even Lesos herself doesn't possess such power, which means that the person who projected the <Magic Autumn> anime into this world must surpass Lesos, at least in terms of power and the application of rules.

Even surpassing the Demon King!

With such immense power, if He were truly on the Magical Girls's side, He certainly wouldn't stand idly by and watch her plight.

They might just deal with the Demon King directly.

But He didn't do that; He simply projected the animation from 'outside the box' into this world.
