Chapter 455
"If this question is difficult to answer, then there's no need to..."
"The first Magical Girls I encountered after becoming Witch was probably the ninth generation..."
Lesos interrupted Fang Ming and began to recall.
Fang Ming immediately shut up and listened attentively to Lesos's story.
The Witch continued, "At that time, I had just awakened after transforming into Witch, and my mentality was not very stable. In addition, the ninth generation of Magical Girls was extremely weak, and I almost died in every battle with Demons, which made my temper even worse."
"What I was thinking at the time was, my comrades and I sacrificed so much, and I sacrificed so much myself, all to protect you, and yet you're all so weak..."
The Witch paused for a moment, then remained silent.
Fang Ming asked cooperatively, "... And then?"
"... Then I beat them all up."
"..."
"After that, every time we met, we would argue, and it would always end with me beating them up... Eventually, I got tired of seeing them and started hiding away."
"Um... they should be able to understand that you're doing this for their own good, right?" Fang Ming thought of how he looked when he first appeared as Xiao Bai, and scratched his cheek a little awkwardly.
The feud between Lesos and the Ninth Generation sounds familiar...
The Witch rolled her eyes upon hearing this and continued, "I don't know what they think of me, but when I came into contact with the new generation of Magical Girls again, they were very hostile towards me. It seems that the ninth generation of Magical Girls said a lot of bad things about me in their records."
"Tsk, back then I got the news that the Demons were going to invade, and I originally wanted to warn those little ones who had already set up the Magical Girls Headquarters, but they treated me like an intruder... and even accused me of bringing the Demons here..."
"I couldn't hold back and smashed their newly established headquarters..."
Fang Ming: "..."
No wonder they're hostile towards you...
Lesos sighed, then continued in a somber tone, "And then the third time..."
Besides?
Fang Ming stared blankly at Lesos.
Lesos seemed to have opened a floodgate of words and continued:
"The third time, I fought the Pillar-Tier Demon 'Demons Fear'. In the middle of the fight, I discovered that the Fear Demon had already detected the Magical Girls's headquarters, so I went to warn him again. However, I underestimated the Fear Demon's speed, which made it appear as if we had arrived together..."
"Then I got attacked by them along with the Fear Demon, and that fight... completely destroyed the 'Tea Party' world they had painstakingly built..."
Upon hearing this, Fang Ming sighed and rubbed his forehead.
He had previously thought there might be some misunderstanding between Lesos and the Magical Girls, but now, hearing what Lesos said, Fang Ming realized... there might indeed be a misunderstanding...
But Lesos clearly has more problems!

"Then, every time I went to warn them, I would end up fighting with them first, so the Magical Girls' attitude towards me wasn't very good, and over time, that attitude just stuck..."
Lesos sighed again at this point, "... But recently our relationship has improved a bit. At least when I go to their Tea Party, they don't attack me anymore. But then, a Demon King Demons..."
The feud between Lesos and the Magical Girls is, strictly speaking, not a big deal.
If the initial misunderstanding could have been cleared up, the Magical Girls might not have been so hostile towards Lesos.
However, if Lesos could calm down and speak properly, she wouldn't be herself.
Didn't you see that Lesos started fighting with the Magical Girls as soon as she appeared in the Sky Screen? Under these circumstances, it's no wonder the Magical Girls couldn't possibly like Lesos!
But no matter what, that's all in the past.
At least for now, Lesos has a good relationship with the Magical Girls.
"Anyway, that's pretty much it. Of course, there's also the reason I don't want to be with those kids. Sometimes I think their ideas are too childish, so even if we do sit down and calm down, we'll keep arguing."
Lesos explained.
Fang Ming asked in surprise, "But I see that you get along well with Xiao Qiu and the others?"
That's because of you.
"?" Fang Ming pointed to himself. "Me?"
"That's right. The reason I get along well with Xiao Qiu and the others is because at least there are people here who understand me, and..." Lesos pointed to the sky. "The Sky Screen has already revealed my thoughts, which is why I'm able to get along with Xiao Qiu and the others."
"Otherwise, do you think a Magical Girls would allow a Witch, an 'evil person' who could potentially turn other Magical Girls into Witch, to give them special training?"
"... I see."
Fang Ming understood what Lesos meant.
The most important reason why the other party was able to get along harmoniously with Yu Muqiu and the others was that Sky Screen had already informed everyone of Lesos's thoughts.
Everyone knows that Lesos isn't a bad person, at least not as bad as people imagine.
Even Lesos in the Sky Screen 'sacrificed himself', proving himself by perishing together with the Demon King.
That's why Yu Muqiu and the others didn't have much malice towards Lesos.
They all knew that everything Lesos was doing was just a test for them, a way to protect them.
Secondly, at times, Fang Ming's ideas are similar to Lesos's.
Or it could be the same kind of 'adult thoughts' that children perceive as dirty.
As long as the goal can be achieved, the process is not so important. Sometimes the Magical Girls may suffer, and some methods may be unacceptable to the Magical Girls, but as long as the result is good, Fang Ming and Lesos are willing to use them.
Fang Ming's ability to understand Lesos allows him to be more tolerant of Lesos.
Given these prerequisites, Magical Girls would be more accepting of Lesos.
That's why they can get along so well.
Otherwise, if it were Lesos from the Sky Screen who, after losing Fang Ming, made contact with the Magical Girls, they would probably fight each other first, just like before.
Having learned about the 'grudge' between Lesos and the Magical Girls, Fang Ming pondered for a moment, then stood up and said:
"Anyway, regardless of the past, at least you're with the Magical Girls now. If the Magical Girls ' 'Tea Party' is ever re-established in the future, you could come and serve as an honorary advisor?"
"Hmph, let's talk about that later. I don't have much time left," Lesos said softly.
Fang Ming was taken aback and looked up at Lesos.
The Witch didn't answer; she simply pointed to the ground beneath her feet.
The hem of that dark purple dress had somehow become transparent. Fang Ming squinted and quickly spotted the magical light emanating from the transparent hem.
In just a moment, Fang Ming understood everything.
"Your body... is about to disappear?"
"This is just a clone. If the original body were still there, I could maintain it through the Magic Link with the original body."
"But now that the main body and the Demon King have been sealed in another world, the connection has been completely severed. The remaining magic power has already reached its limit in sustaining us until now."
The Witch Lesos reveals the reason for her disappearance.
If the original Witch's true form still existed, there would be Magic Link between Lesos's clone and the original. As long as this Magic Link remained, Lesos's clone could continue to exist.
But now, the Witch's true form has been locked in another world. In that completely sealed world, Lesos is unable to exchange magic with her clone.
The clone that remains here now operates entirely on the magic power it previously reserved.
The fact that it has been able to maintain this state until now is already a testament to its immense power.
Even so, Lesos's clones have reached their limit.
She is about to disappear, taking her memories with her, and return to her original form.
Fang Ming hadn't expected this. He hesitated, looking at Lesos, but ultimately didn't try to stop her. Instead, he said to Lesos:
"Can you hold out until you finish watching the spin-off?"
"If the spin-off can be broadcast within three months, I can still watch it, but if it's after three months..."
"Can you sustain this for another three months?"
"It's possible without using magic."
With her remaining magic power, Lesos can hold on for a while longer, but if she consumes more magic power during this time, the time Lesos can maintain her existence will be greatly reduced.
Upon hearing this, Fang Ming estimated the time and frowned.
It's the end of June now. According to the time in the Sky Screen, the side story will begin a year from now.
Even if Sky Screen could broadcast the spin-off ahead of time, it should still be broadcast before the start of the spin-off's storyline.
It might be a few months in advance, or it might be six months in advance...
Even if it airs six months in advance, there are still a full six months until the spin-off is released.
Lesos probably won't last that long...
Fang Ming looked at Lesos, wanting to say something to comfort her.
Lesos chuckled, just about to say something, when there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Chun's voice rang out at the same time:
"Brother Fang Ming! The Sky Screen... the Sky Screen is brightening!"
"Um?"
Fang Ming and Lesos were both taken aback and looked at each other in surprise.
Is the Sky Screen brightening?
Are they planning to start airing a spin-off?
The spin-off's plot was aired a year early??
That's way too early!
Inside the lounge, the Magical Girls still at the base gathered together, looking up at the ceiling that had been transformed into transparent glass, gazing directly at the Sky Screen that had lit up again.
It was nearing evening, and the sun had already set halfway down, meaning the Sky Screen's start time would be moved forward again.
Because the Magical Girls Headquarters is located near the Americas District, according to the Americas District, the Sky Screen broadcast time has been moved up by at least two hours this time.
"Heh, it seems someone has been keeping an eye on us."
Lesos saw the projection on the Sky Screen and suddenly laughed.
Fang Ming nodded slightly.
Lesos had just told him she was leaving when the Sky Screen started; it's hard to say if that was a coincidence.
Furthermore, if the focus is truly on the Central Continent District, then even if Sky Screen screening is moved forward, it's impossible to show it while most viewers in the Central Continent District are asleep.
Unless Sky Screen already knows that the Magical Girls are no longer frequently in the Central Continent District, but have moved to the training base in the Americas District, it is unlikely that Sky Screen would broadcast the side story so far in advance.
"Huh? Brother Fang Ming, what are you talking about?"
Yu Muqiu overheard the conversation between Lesos and Fang Ming and cast a puzzled look at the two of them.
Fang Ming shook his head. "It's nothing, let's see what the Sky Screen is showing first."
Fang Ming didn't tell anyone that the Sky Screen might have been projected by Yu Muqiu, who would later become the God of Magical Girls.
The same goes for Lesos.
After all, this is just their guess, and guesses can't be taken seriously.
In addition, Fang Ming was very concerned about the 'ending' mentioned in the Record Bear world, so he kept this matter buried in his heart.
Therefore, Xiao Qiu and the others had no idea what their future held.
Fang Ming didn't want to talk about it, Xiao Qiu didn't ask any further. The Magical Girls looked at the Sky Screen that had lit up again, eagerly waiting for the story to begin.
(Here it comes!!!!!)
(So early!! Or rather, too early!!! It's only 4 a. m. here! I was just getting ready to go to sleep!!)
