Chapter 473
This battle, perhaps, can be won.
That's what Kazama Reiko was thinking.
But from nowhere, a sharp and enormous rapier appeared out of thin air.
The angle at which the rapier appeared was extremely dangerous, precisely in Kazama Reiko's blind spot!
When Reiko caught sight of the rapier out of the corner of her eye, it was too late for her to dodge or block it!
Not good...!
This is... the second Demons?!
Kazama Reiko immediately realized that, in addition to the Shadow Demon, there was a second Demons present.
Even though she realized this, Kazama Reiko had no way to solve the problem. She could only watch helplessly as the suddenly appearing rapier pierced her heart!
I'm going to die--!
The thought flashed through Reiko's mind.
But just as the rapier was about to strike Reiko, an invisible whirlwind suddenly appeared from Reiko's body. The whirlwind seemed to be the strongest barrier, blocking the rapier from entering!
The powerful resistance almost suspended the rapier in mid-air, and it was in this momentary delay that the silver shield crashed down from high above!
"Go to hell!!!"
A gray-haired knight wielding a silver shield appeared before Reiko like a divine warrior descending from the heavens.
She swung her massive shield, the sharp edge of which slammed heavily onto the swordsman behind her!
Clang!!!!
A loud metallic clang rang out, and only then did Kazama Reiko see that the person wielding the sword was actually a Demons who looked like a Western fencing athlete!
At that moment, the sword-wielding Demons used the rapier in his other hand to block the gray-haired girl's shield attack!
Is he also Demons?
Looking at the creature that was almost indistinguishable from a normal human, Kazama Reiko was astonished.
Unlike Kazama Reiko, who was stunned by the enemy's appearance, Tsukinomiya Ayaka, who came to provide support, was not.
She continued to exert force on the shield, its sharp edge clashing with the Western Demons's rapier. Sparks flew at the point of impact, and at that moment, Tsukinomiya Ayaka her teeth and shouted:
"You're not Demons!! What are you!?"
"Snort."
The swordsman did not answer; he quickly withdrew and retreated, intending to disappear into the shadows once more to deliver a fatal blow to the Magical Girls.
What the swordsman overlooked was that Ayaka wasn't the only one who came to his aid.
"You... you're a weirdo, aren't you?"
A cool, clear voice sounded behind the swordsman.
As the sound rang out, cold frost covered the strange man's feet, immobilizing him.
The strange man with the sword looked behind him.
A white sheep, about the size of a doll, stood not far behind him, its crimson vertical pupils revealing a chilling coldness.
The temperature was even colder than the frost that froze his body!
Magical Creatures?
The strange man with the sword looked at the Sheep Baa-Baa, in surprise.
The Aurora Society had gained some understanding of Magical Creatures, and they were certain that normal Magical Creatures simply could not wield such powerful magic.
The sight of the Miemie capable of casting ice magic was truly unexpected for the sword-wielding Demons.
No, it's not just ice magic.
The sword-wielding monster remembered the whirlwind shield that had blocked his attack earlier; that magic must have been used by the sheep in front of him!
It can even use multiple spells...
The sword-wielding monster's gaze, hidden beneath his facial armor, became filled with astonishment.
The sword-wielding monster stared at the sheep, Tsukinomiya Ayaka shielded Kazama Reiko.
There was a brief moment of silence among them.
But a second later, this brief silence was broken by someone.
"I'm here to help you, Reiko!!"
Whoosh--!
A golden figure appeared in the middle of the crowd like lightning, leaving a trail of lightning behind her as she stopped.
It's Tottori Shiori!
While Reiko was engaged in battle, Tottori Shiori finally retrieved her phone and successfully became a Magical Girls!
However, Tottori Shiori, who had become Magical Girls, was somewhat astonished when she saw what was happening before her eyes.
Who is this gray-haired girl who suddenly appeared?
Who is this guy with the rapier?
And this adorable sheep plushie... did she just speak??
So... what exactly happened in such a short time?! Can anyone explain this to her???
Reiko, Ayaka, Shiori, and the others stared at each other, wide-eyed.
It was during the moment when the group exchanged glances that they realized what was happening.
The ending theme quietly began to play.
(Shiori looks confused. jpg)
(Shiori probably thought Reiko was still struggling, but when she arrived, she found a bunch of unfamiliar people had appeared.)
(If it were me, I'd be totally confused too www)
(Shiori's magic is indeed speed!)
(You can tell from the opening sequence that Shiori's magical power comes from the 'Lightning Mode' that Little Red used before, and Shiori herself is a track and field athlete, so running is her forte.)
(Shiori the Flash!!)
(Wrong, it's Lightning Magical Girls Shiori!!)
(Hopefully, Shiori, who is the fastest, won't be late for important matters in the future www)
"Phew... episode two is over too."
The second episode ended there, and the Magical Girls couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as the ending theme played.
It's true that watching anime series in a row is very enjoyable, but when watching Reiko and the others fight in the Sky Screen, and Xiao Qiu and the others Sky Screen, I can't help but get involved and worry about their feelings.
That's why, after watching the whole episode, Xiao Qiu and the others all felt somewhat tired.
But before Xiao Qiu and the others could relax for long, the Magical Girls perked up again and looked up at the Sky Screen.
There is no other reason.
As expected, the Sky Screen continued playing even after the second episode ended.
It's starting to show the plot of the third episode!
Volume 5 Side Story Magic Mystery Season 2: Chapter 508 I also have ordinary female friends... right?
(?????)
(What's going on? Are you really done with this?! Three episodes... no, four episodes in a row?!)
(Hey, Sky Screen, you're not planning to finish this in one day, are you? Is it really necessary to be so fast?!)
(There's a problem! There's definitely a problem!!)
(What's the problem? Just leave it like this! Let's finish the whole season right away!! Sky Screen, I love you!)
The audience was undoubtedly the happiest when the third episode aired on the Sky Screen.
Fang Ming couldn't help but frown.
Although the continuous broadcast of the spin-offs was indeed very good, he always felt that the pacing of the Sky Screen was a bit too rushed.
From one episode a week at the beginning, to one episode a day, and then to three episodes airing back-to-back at the end, it's clear that Sky Screen was trying to air the episodes earlier each time.
This is even more true now.
Normally, the timeline of the second season of the spin-off should be a year later. According to the previous broadcast rules, it should be broadcast at most three months or six months in advance.
But now, it's happened a whole year earlier!
If the Sky Screen truly is another world, something created by Xiao Qiu who has become a 'god,' then does this repeated advancement in time mean... the crisis in reality is also being brought forward?
The Magical Girls must resolve all the problems appearing in the Sky Screen before they can have any chance of achieving a happy ending?
As the oldest 'adult' among the Magical Girls, Fang Ming had to consider these things.
Based on the Record Bear's account, the Magical Girls in the Sky Screen are unlikely to have a good ending; in fact, it's very likely that they will all perish in a bad ending.
To achieve a happy ending in the real world, all potential problems must be resolved.
The beginning of the third episode does not continue from the end of the previous episode.
Instead, the focus shifted to Tottori Shiori.
"Hitomi! Listen carefully, I have something very important to do! So, I need your phone!"
Tottori Shiori pointed to the phone that Nishino Hitomi was holding and said seriously.
Even though she was facing a child, and the other person was holding a phone she used to own, Tottori Shiori could have simply taken the phone without caring about Nishino Hitomi's feelings.
But Shiori did not do that.
The phone is indeed hers, but we should add the suffix "formerly" before it.
This phone belongs to Nishino Hitomi now. Even if Tottori Shiori really wants to become Magical Girls to help Reiko, she should at least ask Nishino Hitomi's permission first!
Besides, aren't Magical Girls synonymous with love and hope? If she rudely takes someone's phone and becomes Magical Girls without caring about anything, then what kind of Magical Girls is she?
Kazama Reiko will surely be disappointed in her too.
"Huh? My... phone...?"
Upon hearing Tottori Shiori's words, Nishino Hitomi instinctively gripped her phone tightly with both hands; she still hadn't figured out what was going on.
Shiori succinctly stated:
"Do you see that monster over there?"
Shiori pointed to the Shadow Demon over there.
Nishino Hitomi nodded.
Shiori said earnestly, "That monster is called Demons, and the one who can destroy it is Magical Girls!"
"The older sister who just saved you is Magical Girls, but it would be very dangerous for her to face the monster alone, so she needs someone to help her!"
"While it might sound like I'm bragging, I do have the qualifications to become Magical Girls, but... I need what you have."
Nishino Hitomi seemed to understand. "This... so... Shiori- neechan, you... want to become Magical Girls? Using this?"
Nishino Hitomi looked at the yellow phone in her hand.
Shiori nodded, then took out her new phone and handed it to Nishino Hitomi, saying earnestly:
"I know it might be a bit much to take back what I've given away, so... here's my new phone. You can use it for now. We'll change the number once we've resolved things on our end, Hitomi..."
Shiori looked at Nishino Hitomi with considerable trepidation.
Nishino Hitomi hesitated for a moment, but only for a second, before decisively handing the phone to Shiori:
"This originally belonged to Shiori -neechan, so Shiori -neechan can just take it! As for the new phone... we don't need it, since Shiori- neechan and... that Magical Girls sister just saved me!"
"Hitomi! You're such a good girl!" Shiori stepped forward and hugged Nishino Hitomi, saying with great emotion:
"I swear, once we take care of this monster, I'll take you to buy a new phone! I definitely will!!"
Making a serious promise, Shiori picked up her phone and quickly started searching.
