Chapter 396

That's why she decided to become Magical Girls, so that even if she died, at least she would know how she died.

It seems that Wu Huayin's decision to become Magical Girls was indeed well thought out, so Fang Ming doesn't need to worry about that.

Both Kanon Ayaka are fine.

Fang Ming finally looked at Reiko and Shiori.

The two girls, neither of Ayaka nor were as mature as Kanon, were still somewhat undecided at this moment.

Shiori clearly prioritizes Reiko's feelings, even though she often bickers with Reiko, she still considers Reiko's perspective.

After hesitating for a long time, Reiko suddenly made a decision.

She stepped forward, holding her phone in both hands, and bowed deeply to Fang Ming, saying:

"Please... please withdraw your Emotional Force!!"

"?"

Fang Ming was taken aback by Kazama Reiko's actions.

The others also looked at Reiko with surprise.

Shiori grabbed Reiko's hem and whispered, "Reiko! What are you doing...?! This is Magical Girls!!"

"I know!!"

Kazama Reiko suddenly spoke loudly. She didn't stand up, maintaining her bowed posture, and said in an even louder voice, "Precisely because I know! That's why I'm returning the Emotional Force!"

"Reiko... right? Get up first, can I hear your reasons?"

Fang Ming asked Reiko.

Reiko sat up slightly, looking at her phone with a complicated expression, and said in a low voice:

"Because... because I don't think I can be a qualified Magical Girls. I... I'm neither brave nor strong. If... if I really encounter Demons, I... I will definitely run away! I will absolutely run away!"

"Someone like me... someone like me is absolutely unsuitable to be Magical Girls! So... please give this opportunity to someone more useful! Fighting Demons and all that... I simply can't do it!"

Kazama Reiko spoke, she bowed again and handed over her phone.

Her arms were trembling, and her body was trembling; clearly, it took a lot of courage for Kazama Reiko to give up such an opportunity.

Watching Kazama Reiko's retreating figure, Shiori, standing behind her, also looked down at her phone.

She pursed her lips, her gaze shifting back and forth between the phone and Reiko's retreating figure. Finally, she gritted her teeth, walked to Reiko's side, and handed the phone to Fang Ming, saying:

"Take mine too!"

"Shiori!?"

Reiko looked at Shiori in surprise.

Tottori Shiori scoffed, "What you can't do, do you think I can? Without your help, how could I dare to fight Demons! I can't do it, I can't do it!"

"And another thing! Don't try to show off all by yourself, acting like you're the only great one."

Tottori Shiori said this, but her gaze gradually hardened.

Although she also longed to become Magical Girls, she understood that the one here who most wanted to become Magical Girls Kazama Reiko, who was quite fond of the profession.

If Kazama Reiko hadn't become a Magical Girls, and Shiori had instead, how would Shiori have stayed by Reiko's side in the future?

Shiori is actually capable of fighting Demons.

But Tottori Shiori herself to distance herself from Reiko or separate from her because of this!

Just like what Shiori just said.

If I can't do it, I simply can't!

If that's the case, it would have been better not to be Magical Girls in the first place!

With orange and yellow phones laid out in front of him, Fang Ming looked at the two little ones who had handed over their chance to become Magical Girls, and suddenly laughed. He turned to Kelly and asked:

"That's what they say, what do you think?"

Kelly's gaze softened as she looked at Kazama Reiko and Tottori Shiori, and she smiled as she said:

"Take your phones back. If you really don't want to become Magical Girls, just leave them alone. The Emotional Force will return on its own. In the meantime, you can think it over carefully."

It's clear that Kelly is very satisfied with the 'Windbird' duo.

After all, there aren't many children like Reiko and Shiori who can resist the temptation of power.

Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 429 The New Form Finally Unveiled... But Xiaoxia!?

The Magical Girls from the Eastern Ocean District dispersed.

After they left, Fang Ming asked Kelly:

How are these children?

"They're all good kids, especially Kazama Reiko. Although she claims she doesn't have the courage to fight Demons, I can tell that if a real crisis were to occur, she, with her power, certainly wouldn't stand idly by."

Kelly, who has made contracts with many Magical Girls, is quite qualified to speak on this matter.

Fang Ming stroked his chin and asked Kelly:

"Should we still do the 'Dream Trial'?"

"Of course." Kelly spread her hands helplessly. "Although I don't know what kind of problems they will encounter in Sky Screen future, the real people will definitely not be able to experience the same things as them in the Sky Screen. In fact, they may not face any crises for a long time to come."

"Therefore, it is necessary to pull them into dreams and use dreams to temper their minds. We must help them grow as quickly as possible in a short period of time."

The Demons wouldn't give the Magical Girls time to dawdle. Now that they'd decided to recruit Kazama Reiko and the others, they couldn't hesitate; the necessary tests and trials had to be conducted immediately.

Otherwise, if the Magical Girls are left without their necessary fighting force, they'll be in for a world of trouble.

"Then the task of constructing dreams is entrusted to you."

Fang Ming put his phone away and said to Kelly.

Kelly's phantom returned to the phone, and she asked Fang Ming, puzzled:

And what about you?

"I'll go check on how Xiao Qiu and the others are doing with their preparations."

"Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere?"

"... I did say that, but I didn't say I wouldn't go see them. I have to make sure they're safe. What if the Witch really doesn't hold back and tries to kill me?"

Fang Ming helplessly shrugged.

Although the Witch favors Magical Girls, she is not Magical Girls herself, and she has an unspeakable and special past with Magical Girls. No one knows what the Witch is really thinking.

If the Witch suddenly takes a dislike to Yu Muqiu and the others and decides to kill them, then someone has to stop her.

Fang Ming is the 'insurance' that prevents the Witch from suddenly striking a deadly blow.

"It seems the Witch was right," Kelly said sarcastically upon hearing what Fang Ming was going to do.

Fang Ming asked, puzzled, "... What?"

"You really are a siscon..."

"... Uh, don't talk nonsense. It's just that the people I want to protect happen to be younger than me."

Fang Ming spoke with righteous indignation.

What siscon? He's not a siscon at all!

Besides, it's inappropriate to label someone who doesn't even have a younger sister as a "sister-complex"!

Fang Ming left the conference room while inwardly complaining.

After leaving the meeting room, it transformed into Xiao Bai and flew towards the location where the Witch was about to arrive.

It's different from what's shown in the Sky Screen.

The Witch arrived silently, without making any grand spectacle.

It's just that the barrier was broken, and then I quietly entered this world.

Just like when Nino and other Magical Creatures first arrived in this world.

The place to greet the Witch, of course, is at sea.

The powers of Magical Girls and Witch are so great that even with Magic Barrier protecting them, it's impossible to prevent their power from leaking out.

Therefore, choosing the vast ocean as the location for the test is a very reasonable decision.

When the Witch arrived, Yu Muqiu and the others were already prepared.

Without any pleasantries or pleasantries, the Witch briefly introduced herself to the Magical Girls after her arrival, exchanged names, and the 'test' began.

The Witch struck first, casting a barrier that enveloped the Magical Girls.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Muqiu used the Magic Network and the Magic Link method to enhance his own power and fight against the Witch.

The details of the battle are omitted here, as they were similar to those depicted in the Sky Screen.

The only difference is probably...

Even at the very end, Yu Muqiu was unable to activate the Shining 2 form.

"... Truly disappointing."

The Witch looked down at the Magical Girls below.

Only the trio from the Central Continent District participated in the battle; others, including Song Niandong, were unable to participate.

This is a battle Upper Rank Magical Girls; the others, who aren't even Middle Rank, naturally don't have the qualifications to participate.

Normally, even with just the three-person team from the Central Continent District, they should be able to barely handle the Witch.

After all, they still have the Power of Hope of the entire world to help them.

But reality is extremely cruel.

Yu Muqiu ultimately failed to unlock the Shining 2 form, even though the Witch had murderous intent during this time, she still couldn't activate Yu Muqiu's Shining Heart.

That's why the Witch Lesos said that.

Compared to the Yu Muqiu in the Sky Screen, she was truly disappointed in the real Yu Muqiu.

"I thought I'd see your potential, but in the end... you're far from the you in the Sky Screen."

The Witch showed no mercy in mocking Yu Muqiu, saying, "If this is all you've got, then this world might as well be abandoned. Ah, I don't even have the heart to transform you into Witch. I might as well just take Xiao Bai away; she's more to my liking."

"..."

The Witch's words were like sharp blades, piercing Yu Muqiu's heart.

Her eyes were red, her lips were tightly pressed together, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, the Witch was even more disappointed:

"Fine, let it be... If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have had any expectations of you..."

"Sorry..."

"Huh? You're apologizing to me?" Lesos frowned even more, and said sternly to Yu Muqiu:

"Who am I to you? Or are we some kind of close friend? What's the point of you apologizing to me? Or do you want to hear me say things like, 'Oh, it's okay, you did a great job,' or 'Believe in yourself, you can do it,' then I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Lesos paused briefly, then said with a sharp tongue:

"I won't encourage you. In fact, from my perspective, I have absolutely no reason to encourage you. And the person you should really apologize to isn't me."

Lesos's lips curled into a mocking smile, and she pointed a finger towards the sky as if pointing at someone, saying:

"Someone came to negotiate with me in his original form specifically for your sake. He thought you would definitely succeed, but in the end... you didn't even reach one-tenth of what you were in the Sky Screen."

"The person you should really apologize to is him, not me... Oh dear, are you crying? Did my words hurt your fragile little hearts? I'm sorry, do you want me to hug you and comfort you, and then feed you some fresh milk?"

"... That's enough!!"

Chen Xiaoxia wouldn't listen.

Seeing her friend almost burst into tears after Lesos's sarcastic remarks, Chen Xiaoxia stepped forward and said:

"You won!! We admit you won! Isn't that enough?! How long are you going to keep going?!"

Bang--
