Chapter 448
Moreover, Yu Muqiu believed that Lesos must have her own backup plan, and she wouldn't die so easily.
Therefore, Yu Muqiu did not try to stop Lesos, but before Lesos took action, Yu Muqiu still wanted to do something for Lesos.
Before Lesos could reply, she extended her hand to him and said:
"Senior Lesos, we're planning a celebratory trip. We were wondering if Senior Lesos has time to join us?"
"... Celebrating the trip?"
"Yes, we've all unlocked our new forms, so we're planning to celebrate. And it's all thanks to you, Lesos- senpai. This celebratory trip wouldn't be complete without Lesos, so... Lesos- senpai, would you like to join us?"
Yu Muqiu chuckled and extended an invitation to Lesos.
Currently, even Magical Girls, Luna is the slowest to activate her Shining Form, has successfully activated it, so it can be said that all of them are Shine.
Although the Magical Girls have already held similar celebrations, such as a barbecue on an island, they decided to take a round-the-world trip after the third season ends to relax.
Yu Muqiu had already planned to invite Lesos, and now he took this opportunity to extend an invitation to Lesos.
Lesos looked at the hand Yu Muqiu offered, raised her head slightly, and looked at Yu Muqiu's sincere and genuine smile. She was deeply moved.
Xiao Bai walked up to Lesos and calmly said to her:
"Just agree. After all, you're only a clone here, aren't you? Being with them won't interfere with your main body's work."
"... boring."
Lesos muttered to herself, not taking Yu Muqiu's hand, and turned away, no longer looking at the Magical Girls.
She poured herself another cup of black tea and whispered to the Magical Girls:
"It's getting late, you should go back."
"Senior Lesos..." Yu Muqiu was taken aback, and she wanted to persuade her again.
Lesos interrupted her, saying, "I'll consider your invitation, but right now I want to be alone, so please don't bother me."
After Lesos finished speaking, she snapped her fingers, instantly sending everyone back to their world.
The people who suddenly appeared in the sky were all a little stunned. Yu Muqiu asked Xiao Bai with a bit of frustration:
"Senior Lesos, does she dislike us?"
"No, that guy's a tsundere too," Xiao Bai remarked. "She's definitely interested, she just doesn't want to admit it."
No one could refuse Xiao Qiu's sincere invitation!
After all, she's the Sky Screen acknowledged protagonist of the world! The chosen Magical Girls who best embodies the word 'Magical Girls'!
Sometimes Xiao Bai herself couldn't resist Xiao Qiu's smile, let alone Lesos, who hadn't experienced much kindness before.
Xiao Bai could sense from standing next to Lesos that Lesos almost reached out to hold Xiao Qiu's hand, but in the end, she managed to restrain herself.
Clearly, Lesos was not as indifferent as she appeared.
Xiao Bai suggested that Xiao Qiu wait a little longer, because maybe one day Lesos would come over on her own and join their celebratory trip.
That is indeed the case.
Xiao Qiu wasn't kept waiting any longer.
A few days later, on the evening before everyone was scheduled to leave the island camp, Lesos personally visited the camp and decided to stay there until the day she sealed the Demon King in the Sky Screen.
The third season of Sky Screen has ended.
But in reality, everyone has many things to do.
In addition to the in-depth development of the Shining Form, there is also the new power that Yu Muqiu showed after the end of the third season.
That is, to borrow the strength of one's companions.
Unlike Shining 2, Yu Muqiu actually had some clues about this power, because like Sky Screen Autumn, Yu Muqiu usually used Shaping Magic to imitate the abilities of his companions.
Chains, scythes, greatswords, Arrows, even books.
Yu Muqiu frequently uses these abilities in battle, with chains and scythes appearing most often.
However, because there haven't been any particularly intense battles recently, Yu Muqiu's development in this area has been slow, and he hasn't been able to truly utilize the power of his companions.
However, Yu Muqiu herself said that she could sense that subtle feeling, and given some time, she could master this move even faster than her counterpart in the Sky Screen!
Besides the first-generation Magical Girls, the Magical Girls from the Eastern Ocean District, who were classified as 'second-generation', also began their daily training.
With predecessors like Yu Muqiu as role models, and the dream training base built by the Magic Network, the second-generation Magical Girls are training very quickly.
Meanwhile, the investigation into the mysterious boy who last appeared in the Sky Screen has basically come to a conclusion.
Tsukinomiya Ayaka lives with only her aunt, Tsukinomiya Sanae, and has no other relatives.
The boy who appears to be Ayaka's younger brother in the Sky Screen does not exist in reality.
Furthermore, the boy bore a striking resemblance to Fang Ming... so it was almost certain that the boy in the Sky Screen was Fang Ming in his shrunken form.
It seems that Xiao Bai in the Sky Screen did not die after all, and even benefited from the misfortune by obtaining the same form as Fang Ming.
It's unclear whether he acquired the complete 'Magic Source' skill or something else entirely.
We'll probably only know for sure when the second spin-off movie is officially released.
The Magical Girls shifted their focus to their individual strength, and Fang Ming himself finally gained some time alone.
On the eve of the trip celebration at the island campsite, Fang Ming was finally able to rest alone in his true self!
These past few days, being treated like a 'little sister', have been a nightmare for Fang Ming!
Knowing Fang Ming's true identity and being familiar with Fang Ming character, Yu Muqiu and the others actually dared to hug Xiao Bai like a pillow and sleep with it!
Not only that, Fang Ming experienced all sorts of things, from dress-up dolls to playing house... things that made him so ashamed he wanted to commit suicide on the spot and start over!
Fang Ming felt as if he had been having a nightmare these past few days.
A terrifying nightmare that made him tremble with fear!
If Fang Ming couldn't turn back... he probably would have succumbed to the endless pampering of Xiao Qiu and the others...
"Hiss--"
Shivering again, Fang Ming sealed away all the nightmare memories in his mind, then lay peacefully on his small bed and closed his eyes.
"I should be able to get a good night's sleep today..."

As it turns out, once Fang Ming truly enters a deep sleep state, he may dream about things from another world.
For example, after the second season ended, Fang Ming dreamed of Record Bear.
After the spin-off ended, Fang Ming dreamed of the two assistants who Record Bear and overheard their conversation.
And unsurprisingly, after the third season ended, Fang Ming returned to the home of the Record Bear.
Unlike the previous times, it was at night.
Fang Ming arrived at the Record Bear family's house during the daytime this time.
The Record Bear and her two assistants were working in the living room, each holding a graphics tablet and wearing glasses, drawing and sketching on it.
Fang Ming leaned closer to the girl who resembled Xiao Bai and glanced at her, raising an eyebrow.
The girl, whom Xiao Yu, a naive college student next to her, calls "Sister Bai," is drawing storyboards.
Judging from the character introductions beside it, this should be a storyboard from a spin-off.
"Hmm... after the spin-off ends, it'll be the plot of the fourth season of the main series, right..."
Halfway through drawing the storyboard, Sister Bai suddenly asked the Record Bear question.
The Record Bear continued drawing without looking up, and answered softly:
"Yes, season four should air in January next year."
"No... I didn't mean to ask about the playback time." Sister Bai put down the tablet, stretched vigorously, then leaned on the table and said to the Record Bear:
"I wanted to ask, teacher, are you really planning to end season four?"
"The main plot can be described in one season. The rest of the daily life is covered in the four-panel comic strip 'Xiao Qiu's School Life,' so there's no need to go into detail... If we included everything, it would be too bloated..."
"Teacher, you know perfectly well that's not what I wanted to ask."
Sister Bai sighed.
The Record Bear finally stopped drawing, looked up at Sister Bai, and asked, "So, what do you want to ask?"
The room suddenly fell silent.
Xiao Yu, who was proofreading the comic storyboards, also sensed something was wrong. She shrank back and forth between the Record Bear and Sister Bai, and finally whispered:
"I... I'll go buy you some drinks..."
After saying that, Xiao Yu got up and ran out of the room.
After Xiao Yu left, Sister Bai sighed and said, "Let's not talk about the plot of the anime for now, but as for the plot of the manga, everyone can see that there should be another part after the ending."
"Right now, whether you're a manga fan or an anime fan, everyone wants you to draw a few more chapters after the manga's ending..."
"What's the point of drawing a manga that's already finished?"
Record Bear interrupted Sister Bai, preventing Sister Bai from continuing.
She lowered her head again, her digital pen tracing lines on the whiteboard, and said softly:
"That ending was already perfect; there's no need to continue writing it."
"... Xiao Qiu will fight alone forever? What kind of perfect ending is that...?"
"I already said! This is the best ending!"
The Record Bear couldn't help but yell at Sister Bai.
After the loud noise, the room fell silent.
Only the ticking of the clock's second hand remained.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 482 Aurora Bravely Charges Forward!
Inside the room, even the air seemed to quiet down.
Record Bear a deep breath and slowly exhaled, repeating the same deep breaths several times. Finally, she stood up, glanced at the clock in the room, and said to Sister Bai:
"... It's noon, let's go take a break."
Record Bear picked up his graphics tablet and walked towards the bedroom.
Sister Bai didn't say anything more, but simply tapped lightly on the board with her digital pen. Finally, she sighed, placed the board on the desk in front of her, and got up to walk towards the door.
Creak.
The door opened, and after a moment's thought, Fang Ming followed Sister Bai out of the room.
Strangely enough, the door that had previously blocked Fang Ming from entering the room seemed to be non-existent to Fang Ming now.
He easily passed through the door and saw Sister Bai and Xiao Yu standing in the hallway outside.
After leaving the room, Fang Ming realized that it was an apartment building with only two units per floor.
The elevator was right outside the door. Across from Record Bear's house was another house, but judging from the dust on it, the rooms across the street seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time.
Xiao Yu and Sister Bai leaned against the window next to the elevator. Xiao Yu was carrying drinks and ice cream she had bought. She glanced cautiously at the house of the Record Bear, then asked Sister Bai:
"Sister Bai... the teacher, she..."
"She didn't want to continue with the ending, although I had already guessed it... but I didn't expect Teacher Record Bear to be so determined."
As she spoke, Sister Bai took out a square box from her pocket. She subconsciously opened the box, then pulled out a long, thin object and stuffed it into her mouth.
After putting it in her mouth, Sister Bai paused for a moment, then looked at her hand.
That's not a cigarette box, it's a chocolate bar box.
After biting off the chocolate bar, Sister Bai reluctantly took the box back. "I almost forgot... I quit..."
Seeing Sister Bai's actions, Xiao Yu covered her mouth and smiled. She glanced at the room where the Record Bear was staying again, and then said to Sister Bai:
"Is it because Teacher Record Bear didn't want to draw what happened after the ending of 'Magic Autumn'? In the teacher's mind, the world after the ending is even more cruel than the world at the time of the ending?"
