Chapter 409

"Huh!?"

Xiao Qiu let out another strange cry, her eyes wide open, her head filled with question marks.

She had no way of knowing whether Xiao Bai was joking or genuinely opening up to her.

However, after thinking for a while, Yu Muqiu didn't care about these things. She just looked at Xiao Bai, whose expressions were becoming increasingly rich, and blinked as she said:

"... Xiao Bai, you seem to be smiling a lot lately."

"Really?" Xiao Bai was stunned.

Yu Muqiu nodded seriously. "Yes, not only do they smile more, but they also like to joke around more."

Not only that, but there were also emotional fluctuations in his voice.

If Xiao Bai was a cold, emotionless robot before, then the current Xiao Bai is much more like a human.

It also gives people a stronger sense of... Fang Ming's older brother?

Hmm? Strange, why would I think that? Yu Muqiu tilted his head, more questions popping up above him.

After being reminded by Yu Muqiu, Xiao Bai realized this through her memories.

It seems... that's indeed the case.

Leaving aside distant examples, just consider the sound she made when Yu Muqiu changed her clothes yesterday... that was a sound that Xiao Bai would never have made before.

The Magical Girls's body seems to have become more emotional.

After glancing at the [Magic Source] skill in his skill bar, Xiao Bai pondered.

Is it because all of his extraordinary abilities have been combined into one?

However, this might be a good thing. In the past, Xiao Bai was cold and aloof, and her sensitivity to Emotional Force was also very slow. She couldn't follow the traditional Magical Girls path at all, and she probably couldn't even activate her Shining Form.

Regardless of the circumstances, at least we can sense emotions now, and the Emotion Seed is the core power of Magical Girls. The increase in emotions is not a bad thing; it's a good thing that can enhance our strength.

But when this was mentioned... Xiao Bai suddenly thought of Yu Muqiu.

She stopped and turned to Yu Muqiu, asking:

"By the way, Xiao Qiu, do you want to unlock a new form?"

"..."

When the topic of Shining 2 came up, Xiao Qiu couldn't help but recall the time she failed to unlock her new form yesterday.

Her expression darkened slightly, but she quickly shook her head, her expression resolute.

"Think!"

"Then come with me later, I need to take you somewhere."

Xiao Bai said softly.

The place Xiao Bai mentioned isn't exactly a secret.

That was the Witch's 'garden'.

Yes, Xiao Bai plans to ask the Witch for help. Although the Witch doesn't seem to like Yu Muqiu, if we're talking about who knows Shining 2 best, it's probably only the Witch Lesos, who was with the original.

To unlock Shining 2 form, Xiao Qiu needs to meet with Lesos.

Let's talk face-to-face, in person.

Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 442 The Sky Screen, Whoever Backs Down Is a Coward!

"Sigh... Kelly really knows how to order people around..."

Emerging from the dreamscape of the Eastern Ocean District, Xiao Chun couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Qiu told Xiao Bai that she came to the Eastern Ocean District because the Magical Girls there had encountered a small accident, and she was actually right.

The story begins with Kelly setting up her Dream World.

In order to help the Magical Girls in the Eastern Ocean District quickly develop a real sense of being Magical Girls, Kelly put them through many trials in the Dream World.

From Kazama Reiko to Tsukinomiya Ayaka in the end, Kelly sealed their perception of the real world while setting up a series of 'plots' for them.

In this Dream World, Kazama Reiko and her friends went through a series of hardships and eventually formed a fairly cohesive and complete team.

But just as every team has a smarter member, the Magical Girls of the Eastern Ocean District are not lacking in smart kids.

Although they were in a dream and had their memories of reality obscured, Tsukinomiya Ayaka still sensed that something was wrong.

She nearly discovered the truth about the Dream World before the 'plot' set by Kelly came to an end.

In order to fully confirm the potential of these children, Kelly had no choice but to call Xiao Chun over to play the role of the 'bad guy' in order to cultivate the teamwork among the Magical Girls of the Eastern Ocean District.

Xiao Chun... spent a long time in her dream about this before finally completing her task.

"I wonder if Xiao Qiu actually laid a hand on Xiao Bai... Xiao Qiu should be able to resist, right? Hmm... No, I'm a little worried..."

Worried that Xiao Bai might be taken advantage of by Xiao Qiu while she was away, Xiao Chun returned much faster.

It didn't take long for Xiao Chun to return to the island camp.

To Xiao Chun's surprise, several Magical Girls were missing from the rest area of the island camp.

Xiao Qiu, Dongdong, Aurora, and Luna are all nowhere to be found.

Only Chen Xiaoxia stared intently at Xiao Bai, not Xiao Bai of her sight for even a moment.

"Xiaoxia! Xiao Bai!"

Xiao Chun landed from the sky and came to Xiaoxia and Xiao Bai's side, who were playing a staring game. She asked in confusion:

"Why are you all here...?"

Xiao Chun turned to look at Xilisi, who was talking to Stella not far away. After looking around the neighborhood and making sure that Xiao Qiu and the others weren't there, she asked Xiao Bai:

Where are Xiao Qiu and the others?

"He's gone to training."

Xiao Bai answered casually.

Xiao Chun asked in surprise, "Where are we going??"

If they're training in the dream world, their true forms should be here too.

Xiao Bai raised her finger, pointed to the sky, and said, "The Witch's Garden."

"!"

The Witch's... garden?!

Upon hearing Xiao Bai's words, Xiao Chun immediately realized where Xiao Qiu and the others were training. She looked at Xiao Bai in surprise and asked:

"Sending Xiao Qiu and the others to the Witch for training?! Such a thing..."

"It's alright. Thanks to this idiot in front of us, the Witch will no longer side with the Demons. As long as Xiao Qiu can awaken successfully, the Witch will immediately set off to seal the Demon King, just like she did in the Sky Screen."

Xiao Bai paused briefly, then added, "And even if Xiao Qiu doesn't awaken, it doesn't matter; the Witch will still be on our side."

"Why?" Xiao Chun didn't quite understand.

Xiao Bai calmly replied, "Because of me."

"Huh? It's because of me!" Chen Xiaoxia pointed at herself with her thumb, not giving up. "The first person in reality to activate the Shining 2 form was me!"

"Yes, yes, you were the first to activate Shining 2. You're the best, aren't you?"

Xiao Bai spread out his palms and said dismissively.

This blatant perfunctory attitude, as expected, enraged Chen Xiaoxia. Her forehead veins throbbed with anger as she stood up and said to Xiao Bai:

"So you really want to fight again, huh!"

The feud between Chen Xiaoxia and Xiao Bai is nothing new; it would be a rare occurrence if they met without arguing.

However, Xiao Bai didn't want to argue with Xiaoxia at the moment. After all, the thought of her identity being exposed made Xiao Bai completely lose the desire to bicker with the idiot.

So Xiao Bai decisively unleashed her trump card. A smile suddenly appeared on her face, and her voice suddenly became more assertive, as if she were a real girl, as she spoke to Xiaoxia:

"So you wanted to fight me, Xiaoxia ~"

"!!!!!"

Xiaoxia... Sister Xia... Sister...

Xiao Bai's soft and sweet "sister" immediately slammed down Chen Xiaoxia's fury. She froze there, completely pathetic, and even her nose started to itch, as if something was about to spill out.

Her face flushed instantly, and Chen Xiaoxia pointed at Xiao Bai and said:

"You... you... don't think you can bribe me with this trick...!"

"What 'bribery'? I don't quite understand, Xiaoxia- jie~"

"!!?"

Pfft!

The second syllable of "Sister Xiaoxia" completely overwhelmed Chen Xiaoxia.

She let out a strange scream and collapsed on the beach, a slightly disgusting smile on her face that left everyone speechless.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai proudly raised her chin, turned to Xiao Chun, and gave her a "V" sign.

Xiao Chun stared in disbelief at the scene, then suddenly pointed at Xiao Bai and said:

"You... you... you... who are you?! I don't care who you are, get off Xiao Bai!! Ouch--"

As soon as Xiao Chun finished speaking, Xiao Bai angrily threw the paper teacup on the table at Xiao Chun's forehead.

Yeah, that definitely sounds like Xiao Bai!

Based on the sensation of Xiao Bai frequently tapping her forehead, Xiao Chun determined that the Xiao Bai before her was indeed Xiao Bai, not someone in disguise. But precisely because of this, Xiao Chun was utterly shocked, and she Telepathy asked Xiao Bai:

'Brother Fang Ming! You... you can call Xiaoxia that without any hesitation...? Aren't you afraid the Sky Screen will be exposed?!'

He's already on the verge of exposure, and now he's adding to his embarrassing past—this is completely different from Xiao Bai's usual style!

When Xiao Chun asked her question, Xiao Bai answered confidently:

'Since we're about to be exposed anyway, let's grab as many benefits as possible before then!'

Having one more dark history doesn't make a difference, and having one less doesn't make a huge difference either. It's like the saying, "If you have too many lice, they won't itch." Xiao Bai has already come to terms with it.

Xiao Chun pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then suddenly realized what was going on.

But a few seconds later, Xiao Chun moved closer to Xiao Bai, pointed at herself, and said with a smile:

"Then, Xiao Bai... can you call me 'Sister Xiao Chun'? And please make it sound sweeter~ Please~"

Glancing at Xiao Chun, Xiao Bai first looked at Chen Xiaoxia lying peacefully on the ground, then smiled and leaned close to Xiao Chun's ear, gently breathing into her ear:

"So you like it this way, Xiao Chun -jie~"

"Ugh!!"

Xiao Chun coughed up blood from her nose and collapsed peacefully to the ground.

In less than a minute, another 'corpse' appeared on the ground.

"Tsk."

Looking at the two people he had completely sunk, Xiao Bai shook his head and clicked his tongue, then sat back down in his chair, sipping his tea and watching the sunset gradually descend over the sea.

Sigh, as expected, as long as you willingly abandon your principles, you're invincible!

Come on! I'm ready! Let the storm rage on!

Sky Screen!! Come on!! Anyone who chickens out is a coward!!

Looking up at the sky, Xiao Bai's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit.

On the island at night, the seventh episode of "Magic Autumn" aired as scheduled.

However, there were noticeably fewer Magical Girls watching anime tonight.

Xiao Chun also needs to keep an eye on the Magical Girls in the Eastern Ocean District. Xiao Qiu and the other Magical Girls who haven't awakened Shining 2 or Shining Form are all undergoing special training with the Witch.

Inside the camp, only Chen Xiaoxia, who had already activated Shining 2, and Xiao Bai, the Magical Girls being closely watched by Chen Xiaoxia, were present.

The remaining ones are Stella, the second generation of Witch, and Xilisi, an ordinary person who is neither Magical Girls nor Witch.
