Chapter 443
(Is it really gone!? Is Xiao Bai really gone?! Why?!)
(Isn't this supposed to be for children?! Why are any of the main characters dying?! This doesn't make sense!! Screenwriter, come out here!!)
(There's no screenwriter involved! This Sky Screen is a parallel world's future, there's no screenwriter involved!)
(The Sky Screen didn't specify that it was for children.)
(No! I can accept that Fang Ming is Xiao Bai, but I really can't accept her death!!)
(Wake up, at least Xiao Bai in real life is okay... and Fang Ming is okay too!)
"Waaaaaaah!!!!"
"Waaaaah, Brother Fang Ming!!!"
In real life, Yu Muqiu and Song Niandong also cried together.
Even Xiao Chun and Chen Xiaoxia had red eyes.
Nino, who was completely immersed in the story, was also wailing loudly. The entire camp suddenly turned into chaos, with girls crying everywhere.
And it is the center of attention for girls.
Xiao Bai was under double pressure from both Xiao Qiu and Dongdong!
They held Xiao Bai in their arms, one on each side, and it was unclear whether they were trying to take advantage of her or suffocate Xiao Bai. They held her so tightly that they didn't even give her room to breathe!
Hey buddy! Can you give me some air?
I'm going to die--!
Xiao Bai used a lot of strength to push Yu Muqiu and Song Niandong away, and shouted:
"I'm fine! I'm great! I've already said that the Sky Screen is the Sky Screen, and reality is reality! Right now, the Sky Screen and reality are completely unrelated! Don't get too caught up in it!"
If I continue down this path, I don't know how many more accusations I'll have to take the blame for!
Oh, wait, I'm already dead, so it's alright! I don't have to take the blame anymore!!
Long live filming wrapped!! Hooray for the finale!!
After dissuading the two girls, Xiao Bai suddenly felt relieved.
I'm already dead in the Sky Screen, the filming is over! I shouldn't be dragging myself out of the story to create more embarrassing moments, right?
After all, the plot has progressed this far, and it looks like the next step is to retaliate against the Demons. It's impossible for them to do what the director of some small, broken-the-world movie did and bring back dead people to make a prequel, right?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!. jpg
So I can definitely stay calm and quiet for a while, at least I don't have to worry about new embarrassing incidents.
Hmm... But even though that's what I said, Xiao Bai was actually a little nervous.
In the end, the magical particles she transformed into didn't seem to completely dissipate like someone would when they die...
Where did they eventually drift away to?
Xiao Bai had a bad feeling; her right eyelid was twitching, and she sensed that this matter was probably not over yet...
The silvery-red, crystalline magical particles seemed to carry Xiao Bai's last soul into the distance.
While waiting at the airport due to a flight delay, Aurora, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, looked up at the sky, but saw nothing.
Back in the Americas District, Luna, in her bedroom, opened the window and gazed at the starry sky after the clouds had dispersed.
In the Eastern Ocean District, an orange-haired Magical Girls lowered her umbrella and raised her hand to feel the outside air.
The Xiao Yu has stopped, and the sun is shining brightly on the earth again.
A cheerful blonde girl ran up behind her and smacked her on the back, and then the two girls started chasing and playing around.
The scene changes to the accompaniment of soft background music.
The focus shifted back to Xiao Qiu.
"Heave--Heave--!"
Yu Muqiu and Song Niandong were doing a thorough cleaning of Fang Ming's house together.
A two-story detached villa is a little difficult to clean for two people, especially since they've decided not to use magic.
After putting the wardrobe back in its original place, Yu Muqiu sat down on the bed in Fang Ming's bedroom, staring blankly at the now-open door to the secret room.
After a day of cleaning, Yu Muqiu felt that nothing had changed, yet at the same time, it felt as if everything had changed.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 476 Fang Ming's Relics
Birdsong drifted in from outside the window, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.
Yu Muqiu walked to the window, looked at the big tree outside, and focused his gaze on the newly sprouted leaves.
It's already summer, and the first semester of second grade for Xiao Qiu and her classmates is about to end.
During this period, everything was calm and nothing happened; the world continued to operate on its previous trajectory.
Fang Ming had already prepared a backup plan. He donated half of his savings to a charity foundation in his own name, and left the other half to Dongdong and Xiao Qiu to use as they saw fit.
But no one knew that Fang Ming was no longer alive.
Even Fang Ming's relatives, Yu Muqiu's parents, didn't know this.
They just assumed Fang Ming had gone on a trip to gather inspiration, just like before.
That's why the house wasn't taken away and became Yu Muqiu and her group's secret base.
They occasionally come back to help clean the room, like today, and sometimes they even stay overnight.
Several months have passed, and they seem to have emerged from the grief of losing Fang Ming.
After all, the deceased are gone, and the living must continue to move forward.
Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling
The sound of a bicycle bell came from outside the window.
Yu Muqiu looked down and saw Chen Xiaoxia riding a blue bicycle, ringing the bell and waving at her, asking:
"Xiao Qiu! How's the spring cleaning going?"
"There are still some left to process, do you want to come up and help?"
Xiao Qiu smiled and asked Chen Xiaoxia.
Chen Xiaoxia parked her bicycle next to the villa and locked it before saying to Xiao Qiu:
"Of course! Wait here, I'm coming right now!"
After saying that, Chen Xiaoxia rushed into the room.
With Chen Xiaoxia's help, the cleaning progressed much faster.
Xiao Chun had gone to buy groceries, also came to the villa and helped Xiao Qiu and the others tidy up the rooms. The cleaning didn't take long before it was over.
After tidying up, the four of them reunited in Fang Ming's room.
Although the living room is spacious, it's here that the Magical Girls feel more at ease.
"Phew! Fang Ming's bed is so comfortable." Chen Xiaoxia was the first to lie down on Fang Ming's large bed, which was padded with high-quality soft mattresses.
Chen Xiaoxia sank into the soft bed.
Xiao Qiu teased from the side, "So that's why you came so early today, you've got your eye on Fang Ming's bed."
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Compared to the hard wooden planks in my bedroom, Fang Ming's mattress is something only nobles can afford! By the way, how much does it cost again...?"
As Xiao Chun tidied the books on the shelf, she casually replied, "It seems to be around a hundred thousand Federation Credits."
"Wow... Brother Fang Ming is really rich..."
"Yes, many of the books here are out of print."
Xiao Chun casually picked up an untranslated book from another region and started reading.
These books are all famous works from this region and other regions, many of which are signed limited editions, making them rare and highly sought-after items.
It's only because Fang Ming is a writer and part of this circle that he was able to easily collect this entire bookshelf of rare, signed books. Otherwise, who knows how much it would have cost for someone else.
When Fang Ming's brother was mentioned, everyone fell silent.
While everyone remained silent, Dongdong, who was in the secret room, suddenly called out to Yu Muqiu and the others:
"Sister Xiao Qiu! Come and see!"
"What's wrong, Dongdong?"
Yu Muqiu and the others immediately put down what they were holding and gathered in the small, secret room.
In a small, enclosed room, Song Niandong pulled a box out from under the table.
The box had a combination lock, but for some reason, it was open, and the numbers displayed on it were Yu Muqiu's birthday.
The box wasn't big, and there weren't many things inside.
A photo album, a collection of Fang Ming's draft works, an MP3 player, and a USB drive.
The group moved these items into the bedroom and first picked up the photo album to look through it.
There's not much to say about this album; it's a collection of Fang Ming's photos from childhood to adulthood. It includes photos of Fang Ming with his parents when he was little, individual photos from elementary school, and group photos from middle school.
As well as...
Photos of Xiao Qiu and the others.
I don't know when these photos were taken. Besides the group photo of Fang Ming and Xiao Qiu, there's also a group photo of Xiao Bai and them.
These group photos are few in number, taking up only two pages of the album compared to the previous photos.
But each one is precious, showing all the stages of Magical Girls' lives, from their youth to maturity.
The last photo is a group photo of Xiao Qiu and the others with Xiao Bai.
A group photo with Fang Ming, Xiao Bai, and all the Magical Girls from the Americas District at the island camp.
Upon seeing the photo, Yu Muqiu pursed his lips and remained silent.
She forced back the sadness deep in her heart and looked at the manuscript next to the photo album.
"This is... <Magical Girl Little ○ ○>? Fang Ming's new work... It's a pity there are only two chapters..." Xiao Qiu picked it up and glanced at it.
Besides <Magical Girl Little ○ Oo>, there are also drafts and designs for <Magical Girls Oo Leaf> and <Magical Girl Sakura>, but for some reason, Fang Ming didn't choose to publish these, but instead put these drafts here.
It's a bit of a pity.
"Speaking of which...could this MP3 player contain..." Xiao Chun picked up the MP3 player and looked at its design. She remembered the MP3 player she had found in Fang Ming's backpack last time.
That MP3 player with Xiao Bai's voice.
These two MP3s seem to be the same one...
Thinking this, Xiao Chun pressed the play button.
Sure enough, Xiao Bai's voice came from the MP3 player:
"... Oh dear~ Did I keep you waiting, brother? Sorry... I was cleaning the room... After all... you were coming..."
Xiao Bai's familiar voice echoed in the room. Xiao Chun blushed and quickly turned off the MP3 player, then expressionlessly put it into her pocket.
"Hey! Xiao Chun, I haven't finished listening yet! I want to hear just how many embarrassing sounds Fang Ming recorded without our knowledge."
Upon seeing Xiao Chun's actions, Chen Xiaoxia immediately protested, while also expressing curiosity about the remaining sounds in the MP3 player.
Xiao Chun dodged Xiaoxia's groping hand that was trying to snatch the 'treasure' and said warily, "No, I have to protect Fang Ming's reputation! No one is allowed to listen to this from now on!"
Except for me.
These were the words Xiao Chun didn't say.
Chen Xiaoxia didn't think too much about it. Seeing how protective Xiao Chun was, she could only regretfully give up her plan to snatch the MP3 from Xiao Chun.
After all, she knew that Xiao Chun liked Fang Ming.
"This last USB drive..."
Dongdong held the USB drive in his hand and looked up at Xiao Qiu.
Xiao Qiu put the drafts and photo album aside before taking the USB drive from Dongdong.
She glanced around, her gaze finally settling on the laptop in the room, before inserting the USB drive.
