Chapter 423
(Wait... did I miss something? Dongdong said Xiao Bai is her only family? What's going on??)
(Well... you'll find out as you read on...)
(It seems some of the guesses on Tieba were correct...)
(What? What are you talking about? Are we watching the same anime? I don't see anything!)
(We'll find out soon; looks like this episode's going to be a hit www)
At this moment, Song Niandong, who was in the Sky Screen, had already revealed the most basic and crucial information.
It is known that Song Niandong is currently all alone, and her only guardian is Fang Ming, who used some means to gain custody of her.
So who exactly is the 'only relative' that Song Niandong is talking about?
It's really hard to guess (reads in a flat tone).
[One problem after another arises. Looking at the animated dolls that vaguely surround her, Xiao Bai sighs softly.]
She looked at the stubborn, purple-haired girl in front of her, who refused to leave, her gaze complex.
The purple-haired girl's eyes held a resolute determination, and the animated dolls around her also possessed considerable power.
Given that it is in its Shining Form, if it is truly determined to keep Xiao Bai really has no way to stop it.
The magical fluctuations below grew stronger, and Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia began to use their respective signature spells on each other.
If this continues, putting aside the situation with Xiao Bai, if the two Magical Girls, Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia, were to really get into a fight, Xiao Bai would feel guilty even if she left.
So she looked at Song Niandong in front of her, then at the World Barrier in the sky that was about to close, and slowly exhaled.
Xiao Bai can still use magic, but each time she uses it, it only worsens the negative effects on her body.
There is only one way to alleviate the negative state.
Knowledge of combustion.
So what should be done now? I believe many people already understand.
"I'm sorry, Dongdong."
Xiao Bai apologized to Song Niandong in a very quiet voice.
Dongdong heard Xiao Bai's apology and understood that Xiao Bai didn't intend to take her away.
She was about to direct the animated doll to catch Xiao Bai, but in the next instant, time around Xiao Bai seemed to stand still!
Countless memories surfaced around Xiao Bai, and countless pieces of knowledge circulated around the silver-haired girl.
The advanced skills that these silver-haired girls had accumulated over the years were now completely unnecessary.
Besides the essential fighting, the silver-haired girl made a new choice...
Burn it all!
Memories burned, and the silver-haired girl's power surged infinitely. In that instant, the silver-haired girl's total magic power broke through the Upper Rank limit!
Her body transformed into a silver-red light in the blink of an eye, instantly passing through everyone's encirclement and rushing to the outside of the closing barrier at top speed in the shortest amount of time!
Song Niandong didn't expect Xiao Bai to unleash such speed, and Yu Muqiu below was equally surprised!
By the time the silver-haired girl realized what Xiao Bai had done, she had already arrived outside the World Barrier and used her magic to accelerate its World Barrier!
"No... no!!!"
Song Niandong flew towards the barrier at top speed, but her speed was ultimately no match for the barrier's closing speed.
Seeing this, Yu Muqiu completely gave up on entanglement with Chen Xiaoxia. She stretched her hand towards the sky, and realizing she couldn't grab Xiao Bai before the barrier closed, she let out a Pain cry:
"No!! Brother Fang Ming!!!!"
"!!!"
"!?"
"!!!"
The girl's voice was filled with Pain and sorrow, and upon hearing her words, the Magical Girls all stopped what they were doing. Except for Song Niandong, the remaining Magical Girls froze on the spot as if struck by Lightning Strike.
Xiao Bai, who was outside the World Barrier, also heard Yu Muqiu's shouts.
She paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face.
It was a laugh that seemed like a relief, a laugh that sounded like he was telling Xiao Qiu, "You knew all along."
The silver-haired girl spoke softly, uttering a few words slowly.
Her voice couldn't be heard, but Xiao Qiu was able to tell what she said from her lip movements.
The silver-haired girl said "I'm sorry" again and "From now on... I'm leaving this world to you."
The barrier then closed.
The silver-haired girl's figure has vanished forever.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 456 The Chaotic Magical Girls
(?????)
(What did Xiao Qiu just shout??)
(Did you call the wrong person...?)
(Ber, don't tell me... Xiao Bai really is...)
(No, no, no, how could Xiao Bai be my cousin!? I can't accept it!!)
(Hahaha, that's it!! We knew it!! Our guess was right! Xiao Bai really is the cousin!! Haters, speak up!)
(... There are no haters anymore. Xiao Bai's fans and his cousin's fans are probably going to explode now.)
(It's already blown up, thank you)
As Xiao Bai's figure disappeared, the screen was suddenly flooded with comments.
Without a doubt, Xiao Qiu's final cry was no less than dropping a nuclear bomb into the Sky Screen, causing a huge uproar.
Compared to the barrage of comments on the Sky Screen, the Magical Girls below were even more bewildered.
Especially Xiao Qiu and the other Magical Girls who didn't know Fang Ming's identity were stunned on the spot, standing there as if they had lost their souls.
"Xiao Bai ...that guy...actually..." Chen Xiaoxia pointed at the Sky Screen, then turned to look at Xiao Qiu beside her, finally managing to stammer, "...Did Xiao Qiu call the Sky Screen a mistake...?"
"... How could that be?" Stella rolled her eyes and said, "Before, Xiao Qiu ... I mean Sky Screen Autumn, wasn't she hiding something? Now it seems she already guessed Xiao Bai's true identity, but just didn't say it."
There are many reasons why it wasn't actually announced.
For example, they might be considering Fang Ming's feelings, or they might not have enough evidence yet, or they might not have had time to say it.
But whatever the reason, now that Xiao Bai... that is, Fang Ming, has personally left this world, Sky Screen Autumn can no longer keep it a secret.
The words that finally came out, whether intentional or unintentional, certainly came from Yu Muqiu's heart.
She truly didn't want Xiao Bai to leave, and even more so, she didn't want Fang Ming to leave.
However, the problem now is... Sky Screen Autumn's shout was satisfying, but in reality...
Stella glanced at Xiao Qiu.
"Xiao Bai... Brother Fang Ming... Huh? Xiao Bai is Brother Fang Ming? Brother Fang Ming is Xiao Bai? Wait... Huh!? So what Xiao Bai is trying to escape is... Huh?!!"
Good, this guy's already confused.
Although Yu Muqiu wasn't the type to act as a strategist, he wasn't stupid either. Given all the previous Suggestion, when Sky Screen Autumn shouted this out, Yu Muqiu had no choice but to believe it, even if he didn't want to.
Because Yu Muqiu knew very well that he wouldn't lie to himself.
Xiao Bai is indeed Fang Ming.
Stella couldn't help but laugh when she thought about yesterday's OVA episode.
She turned her head to look at the Xiao Bai bedroom in the island camp.
I wonder what expression Xiao Bai himself is making right now.
Xiao Bai...
Oh no, what other expressions could Fang Ming possibly have?
After realizing his identity had been exposed, he switched back to his original form, sitting peacefully in a chair as if his soul had gone to Heaven.
Although he had known this day would come, Fang Ming still found it hard to bear when it actually arrived.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he used the identity of Xiao Bai to do many things that are difficult to talk about.
These countless dark histories have now become sharp blades piercing Fang Ming's soul, leaving his body riddled with holes.
He felt extremely uncomfortable, wishing he could fly out of this world immediately, like Sky Screen Bai, and never come back!
So... where are the Pillar-Tier Demon?
Come on! Let's fight!!!
Let's fight to the death!
The silver-haired girl's figure disappeared.
But the influence she left behind still exists.
Looking at the World Barrier that had been completely repaired, Yu Muqiu cried as he raised his hand, wanting to shatter the World Barrier and bring the silver-haired girl back.
But as soon as he raised his hand, Yu Muqiu had to put it down again.
The silver-haired girl risked her life against the Pillar-Tier Demon for the sake of this world. If Yu Muqiu were to shatter the barrier now and accidentally attract the Pillar-Tier Demon, then the silver-haired girl's efforts would be completely wasted!
They've already sacrificed so much to protect this world. If Yu Muqiu really shatters the barrier, she will not only betray the silver-haired girl's feelings and trample on them like trash, but she will also betray the 'hope' of this entire world!
She should be Magical Girls who brings hope, not someone who causes despair.
Yu Muqiu stopped what he was doing, and the Magical Girls around him finally came to their senses. The first to rush over was Xiao Chun, who had been freed from her chains. She grabbed Yu Muqiu's hand and asked anxiously:
"Xiao Qiu, what were you shouting just now! What happened to Brother Fang Ming!"
Xiao Chun had just heard Xiao Qiu address the silver-haired girl, but she refused to believe it.
Chen Xiaoxia also came to Xiao Qiu's side, forcing a smile as she said:
"Xiao... Xiao Qiu, you just called Xiao Bai... Fang Ming brother... you... you got it wrong... right?"
Chen Xiaoxia also didn't want to believe that she was the one who had cut off the lifeline of her best friend and the boy next door she liked.
Compared to this, the truth that Fang Ming was actually Xiao Bai seemed less important.
Yu Muqiu originally intended to keep it a secret.
But now that things have come to this, there's really no need to hide anything anymore.
After all, with Xiao Bai gone, the two puppet clones she left behind will also lose control, and everyone will be able to know the truth.
So...
"I didn't call you by the wrong name," Xiao Qiu said calmly.
It was even eerily calm.
She gazed at the empty sky before her and murmured:
"Xiao Bai... that's Fang Ming, just as she herself said, perhaps... she was never a Magical Girls at all..."
"Xiao Qiu, this joke isn't funny." Xiao Chun's voice trembled as she tried her best to calm herself down and appear normal.
She said, "Brother Fang Ming is a boy, a boy... how could he be Magical Girls? So you've probably been fooled by Xiao Bai, Brother Fang Ming is definitely..."
"..."
Yu Muqiu remained silent; she simply turned her head and calmly met Xiao Chun's gaze.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
Finally, Xiao Chun's eyes reddened, and she suddenly rushed towards the camp below, moving at an extremely fast speed, as if she were falling like a meteor.
She quickly arrived at the center of the camp and rushed into Fang Ming's room.
Then she saw...
Fang Ming was lying in bed.
