Chapter 414
He sat on the bed, staring at the box for a long time, then unconsciously closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Nothing more was said that night.
The next morning, the sun rose as usual, the Magical Girls got up and continued their training, and the World Barrier in the sky healed further.
Everything is moving in a stable direction.
It seemed like an exceptionally peaceful day.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 447 "Is it even possible to do this?"
At the edge of the island camp, in that area with reefs and beaches, Xiao Bai was sitting barefoot on the reefs.
She was wearing clothes that were a little too big for her, sitting on the rocks, looking up at the World Barrier that was gradually closing.
Logically, the Magical Girls should have repaired the barrier immediately after defeating the Demons.
But Xiao Bai didn't let the Magical Girls do that.
Because...
After the barrier is repaired, if Xiao Bai wants to leave this world, she will have to reopen the barrier, which will be very troublesome.
Stella was standing not far behind Xiao Bai. She too looked up at the sky and finally asked Xiao Bai:
"Have you made up your mind?"
"Um."
"Alright, I won't try to persuade you anymore. I just want to remind you that this barrier will automatically repair and close by tonight at the latest. Whatever you want to do, you only have this much time left."
Stella knew what Xiao Bai was going to do.
He also knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade her, Xiao Bai would never change her mind.
So that's all Stella could say; there was nothing else Stella could do.
Xiao Bai nodded again, but this time remained silent.
The waves crashed against the rocks, seagulls cried in the sky, and Stella watched Xiao Bai's retreating figure in silence for a long time.
After a while, the silence between the two was broken by Yu Muqiu's voice.
"So you were here."
Yu Muqiu strolled over Youyou, her hands behind her back. She looked at Xiao Bai, who was sitting on the largest rock, and smiled at her, leaning to one side.
"I've been looking for so long... Hey, Xiao Bai, you've come in your true form this time."
"..."
Xiao Bai sighed, not immediately answering Yu Muqiu's question, but turning to Stella and saying:
"First Release on '0u. com Reading Club'"
"Stella, you should go back now."
Stella glanced at Xiao Bai, then her gaze fell on Yu Muqiu, before she turned and left without looking back.
After Stella left, Xiao Bai jumped off the rocks and faced Yu Muqiu.
Yu Muqiu's smile remained, but Xiao Bai's face showed little of a smile.
After gazing at Xiao Qiu for a long time, Xiao Bai whispered:
"Xiao Qiu, let's go back."
"I refuse."
Yu Muqiu refused without hesitation. Her smile faded slightly as she looked directly at Xiao Bai and said, "I heard your conversation. Although I don't know what you're planning to do, I know... if I let you go now, I... I'll definitely regret it for the rest of my life."
"That's just what you think," Xiao Bai.
"Are you going to give me another lecture, Xiao Bai?"
"It's not a matter of logic, I just felt you should know that..."
"I won't listen." Yu Muqiu interrupted Xiao Bai, took a step forward, and the contract runes on the back of her right hand shone brightly. She said seriously:
"All I know is that I won't let my friends leave, I won't let my family leave. That's all I know, and I don't want to hear anything else!"
Xiao Qiu's magic was surging, and it was clear that if Xiao Bai answered incorrectly here, Yu Muqiu would take action and forcibly keep Xiao Bai here.
She can do it, and she definitely will.
Xiao Bai noticed this; she clenched her fist, and the magical runes on the back of her hand emitted a faint glow.
The two Magical Girls, one in pink and one in white, were staring at each other. The atmosphere between them grew increasingly tense, and even the background music began to play with a fast and urgent tempo.
Just as the two Magical Girls were about to clash, the background music suddenly stopped, and a tremor ran through both of Magical Girls.
The sudden tremor caused the two Magical Girls to simultaneously raise their heads and gaze at the unrepaired damage in the sky.
As the camera gradually zooms out, passing through multiple barriers, beyond the largest barrier, a Demons shrouded in black mist, its features obscured, opens its crimson eyes.
Pillar-Tier Demon!
We've arrived!
The ending theme song begins.
(So fast!?)
(Wait a minute! This is only the end of episode 7! Pillar-Tier Demon has already appeared?! We're going to fight Pillar-Tier Demon in episode 8?!)
(That's too fast! Even if the Pillar-Tier Demon appears at the end of episode eight, there are still four episodes until the finale! Are we going to have to fight for four episodes?)
(Based on the first two seasons and the spin-off, the boss should be defeated in episode ten...)
(But the Pillar-Tier Demon is already outside!)
(Perhaps it will take him some more time to find Xiao Qiu and the others?)
(So what will episodes eight and nine be about? A battle between Xiao Qiu and Xiao Bai? Let's not...)
(It's unlikely that Xiao Bai's physical condition will allow him to fight Xiao Qiu... well, it's hard to say...)
(The Magical Girls are going to have another civil war. Speaking of which, Xiao Bai and Xiao Qiu started fighting as soon as they first met.)
(Does it end the same way it began...?)
"Xiao Qiu in the Sky Screen and I probably won't fight."
Upon seeing the Sky Screen enter the ending sequence, Xiao Bai made a judgment.
Xiao Chun nodded slightly.
The Xiao Bai "cannot fight" here doesn't mean that Xiao Qiu and Xiao Bai won't fight, but rather that Xiao Bai, currently in a bad state in the Sky Screen, is no match for Xiao Qiu in her Shining 2 form.
If a fight really breaks out, the battle could probably be over in an instant.
Then Xiao Qiu will tie Xiao Bai up, pack him up, and take him away... Hmm, why do I suddenly want to see this happen?
Xiao Chun's mind wandered, and she replaced Xiao Qiu in her imagination with herself, a smile unconsciously appearing on her face.
Chen Xiaoxia didn't notice Xiao Chun's reaction. She looked up at the scrolling comments and muttered to herself while stroking her chin:
"If episodes eight and nine aren't about fighting the boss, or the battle between Xiao Qiu and Xiao Bai, then what are they?"
"Yes, what could it be...?"
Xiao Bai was very distressed.
Those who know the truth probably already know what the next two episodes will be about.
Especially for Xiao Bai.
It has to be said that the production team treated Xiao Bai and Fang Ming quite well, perhaps because Xiao Bai was very popular in the world of Record Bear?
In short, the fact that they dedicated two episodes to describing the relationship between Xiao Bai and Fang Ming is quite a generous treatment.
But for Xiao Bai herself, she would rather skip those two episodes!
"Well..."
With a long sigh, Xiao Bai resigned herself to her fate. Then, suddenly remembering something, she turned to Xiao Chun and said:
"By the way, Xiao Chun, you should also go to the Witch for special training later. Although it may not be able to unlock Shining 2, it should improve your strength."
"Hey! Am I going too?" Xiao Chun was a little surprised. She didn't really want to be separated from Xiao Bai, but in order to improve her strength, Xiao Chun didn't refuse.
However, before heading to the Witch's place, Xiao Chun shyly made a request to Xiao Bai:
"Well... before we go, Xiao Bai, could you... call me 'Sister Xiao Chun' one more time?"
"..."
Oh.
A smile appeared on Xiao Bai's face.
She glanced at her 'Voice-Acting Technique,' which were now almost at LV4 without her even realizing it, and her smile became even more meaningful.
Very good, Xiao Chun, this is what you asked for yourself.
"... What's going on?"
When the Witch Lesos saw Xiao Bai carrying Xiao Chun, who was almost melting and slumped over with a flushed face, she was completely astonished.
She thought that after this episode ended, Xiao Bai would probably send Xiao Chun over as well.
After all, everyone comes here to train, so Xiao Chun can't fall behind.
Judging from Xiao Chun's performance in the Sky Screen —referring to combat— the Witch has a fairly good impression of Xiao Chun. She believes that if Xiao Chun is properly trained, she should be able to become a good strategist.
But now...
Looking at Xiao Chun, who was slumped on Xiao Bai's body and still murmuring "one more time," the Witch began to have deep doubts about her own thoughts.
Is this girl, who seems to have just rewarded herself... really the calm and wise Xiao Chun from the Sky Screen?
Well, this wasn't the first time she'd seen the difference between the Sky Screen and the ground, so there really wasn't anything surprising about it now.
"Yes, I only used my voice to make her consciousness 'fly' away for a moment."
Xiao Bai explained nonchalantly.
The Witch was even more confused.
Simply put, it's an intracranial hyperplasia, but there's no need to tell the Witch about that.
Xiao Bai handed Xiao Chun over to the Witch, then looked around and asked:
"By the way, where are Xiao Qiu and the others?"
"After watching, I went back to training."
The Witch answered casually.
Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow. "So, what were the results of the training?"
Hearing Xiao Bai's question, the Witch smiled, snapped her fingers, and soon Song Niandong appeared beside Xiao Bai.
When Xiao Bai saw Song Niandong, her eyes widened slightly:
"This is...?"
Shining Form!
That's right.
Song Niandong is currently in her Magical Girl Form, and it's the Shining Form that appeared in the Sky Screen before!
In just one day, Song Niandong has already had her Shining Form developed by the Witch!
Although Song Niandong was not in good condition at the moment, covered in sweat, pale, and with a slightly frightened expression, the Shining Light emanating from her did not dim much.
Upon seeing Xiao Bai, Song Niandong's lips trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, and without thinking, she rushed towards Xiao Bai.
"Waaaaah!! Xiao Bai Sister!!!"
She hugged Xiao Bai cried, "I don't want to train anymore! I've already activated my Shining Form!! So take me away quickly, Xiao Bai White!!"
"Um... this is..."
Seeing that Song Niandong looked as if she had suffered great psychological trauma, Xiao Bai looked at the Witch in astonishment.
