Chapter 477
Ayaka and Shiori exchanged glances, each looking at the newly arrived 'Magical Girls senior' with puzzled expressions.
Before they could ask, Aurora sat down in an empty seat and said to Reiko:
"No need to call me senior, it sounds weird. I already said my name is Aurora, you can just call me by my first name."
"Aurora ..." Shiori stroked her chin. "That's a name from the Americas District or the Nordic District, right? So... they have Magical Girls there too?"
"It's not just the Americas District." Aurora, now seated, looked at the Magical Girls from the Eastern Ocean District and explained:
"There are Magical Girls in the Central Continent District too. Otherwise, who do you think solved the Demons disaster eighteen months ago?"
"!!"
The Magical Girls were all taken aback.
Reiko excitedly told Shiori, "See! I told you there was something Magical Girls about those things!"
Ayaka hearing this, Aurora looked at Aurora in surprise. "So... Magical Girls and Demons have existed in this world for a very long time?"
As she spoke, she looked at Miemie hadn't told her about this.
Miemie didn't show any expression; she was just eating her dessert.
She's already said she's forgotten a lot of things and doesn't remember the other Magical Girls, isn't that normal?
"I'll arrange for you to meet the Magical Girls of the Central Continent District when I have time, but for now..."
Aurora said casually, her gaze sweeping across the faces of the group, before she said seriously:
"Let's talk about your own affairs now."
"?"
Reiko and the others exchanged glances. Shiori asked, "Do we... have a problem?"
Aurora glanced at the Miemie was still eating:
"This sheep should have already told you, right? You're not Magical Girls in the conventional sense."
Reiko & Shiori: "????"
Ayaka these words. She suddenly thought of her Sheep Baa-Baa and pondered for a moment before saying:
"Miemie does seem to have mentioned it... she wanted to sign me, but... I was already Magical Girls at the time..."
"Such a thing is true?"
Reiko's eyes widened.
What do you mean they're not regular Magical Girls? What do you mean they were already Magical Girls before they signed the contract?
Having just become Magical Girls, they were completely baffled and had no idea what was going on.
Miemie then explained, "Although I don't remember the specifics, generally speaking, to become Magical Girls, you should have to sign a contract with Magical Creatures like me..."
"But you're acting strangely. Even though there are no Magical Creatures around you, I can't form a contract with you because, in my perception, you're already Magical Girls... So, do you know what's going on?"
Miemie finished speaking, she looked at Aurora.
In those crimson pupils, there was the shadow of a red-haired girl, as well as a hint of scrutiny and confusion.
The scrutiny stemmed from the fact that Miemie and Aurora had never seen each other before.
The reason for her confusion... was that Miemie felt Aurora looked familiar.
So, did I know this child before?
Miemie pondered Aurora's identity, but Aurora didn't pay much attention.
In response to Miemie's question, Aurora placed her phone on the table.
He then pointed at the phone and said:
"Of course it's related to me, because the Emotional Force within you originated from my phone... Um, Little K, come out and say hello?"
As soon as Aurora finished speaking, the little girl with antlers suddenly peeked out from the phone.
Her illusory image stood on the phone screen, politely greeting everyone and introducing herself:
"Hello, my name is Kelly, and I'm Aurora's partner."
Volume 5 Side Story <Magic Mystery> Season 2: Chapter 512 How did we get exposed so quickly this time?!
Kelly's appearance caught Miemie's attention.
She gazed at Kelly's body, lost in thought. Tottori Shiori, however, didn't seem to care much; she curiously asked Kelly:
"You're Magical Creatures too? Why do you look... like a virtual projection?"
"Well... it's a long story..." Kelly explained simply, "For some reason, my original body no longer exists, so I can only enter the phone as a soul. And originally, I actually came to this world carrying several Emotional Force ..."
Kelly briefly explained her situation and also clarified the matter of Emotional Force to the Magical Girls.
After a while of explaining the matter clearly, the Magical Girls of the Eastern Ocean District finally understood the meaning of Aurora's earlier words.
Reiko hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Aurora:
"So... you want to take back the Emotional Force within us?"
Since these Emotional Force belong to Aurora, they should logically return them to their rightful owner now that she has come looking for them.
Reiko thought to herself that even though she didn't really want to give up the power of Magical Girls, she also didn't want to actually take something that belonged to someone else.
Shiori was even more surprised upon hearing this. "No way! I just became Magical Girls... Sigh, and I can only experience it once...?"
Tottori Shiori couldn't help but sigh.
But judging from her words, although she felt regret, she also had the idea of returning the Emotional Force.
Only Tsukinomiya Ayaka clenched her fists when she heard Kelly's words.
Now that she has finally recovered her health and can get out of bed and walk on her own two legs, Ayaka absolutely does not want to go back to being disabled.
But... this is someone else's stuff after all...
For a moment, Ayaka's expression shifted between light and shadow.
But before Ayaka worry for long, Aurora's voice suddenly reached her ears:
"Who said I was going to withdraw my Emotional Force?"
Aurora looked at the Magical Girls with a strange expression and said, "Since the Emotional Force has chosen you, it proves that you are definitely more suitable to use this Emotional Force than I am."
"Besides, there are already so few Magical Girls, and Demons keep popping up all over the world. How could I possibly do something as stupid as reducing my own allies?"
Hearing Aurora say this, the Magical Girls had different reactions.
Reiko and Shiori both breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they were also a little uneasy, worried that they wouldn't be able to become qualified Magical Girls.
Ayaka breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but at the same time she was a little puzzled:
"Then... then tell us all this..."
"At least I should tell you the truth, right?" Aurora shrugged. "I should at least let you know why you became Magical Girls, and also tell you some things about the Magical Girls world, and... about the Aurora Society."
Aurora had no intention of retracting her Emotional Force.
After the Emotional Force dissipated, Aurora's strength actually increased. Even without transforming into Magical Girls, she could use magical powers, which was completely different from when she first got the phone.
The Emotional Force is too mixed, which will actually slow down Aurora's progress in improving her strength.
So even if the Magical Girls wanted to return the Emotional Force, Aurora would definitely not agree.
Besides, Magical Girls are already few in number, while Demons are gradually increasing. Yu Muqiu once told Aurora that, given the rate at which negative emotions accumulate in this world, Demons will only appear more and more frequently in the future.
Once an Upper Demon, or even Pillar-Tier Demon's clone, appears in this world, it will immediately attract the attention of the Demon Army outside.
By then, it will probably be a final battle between Magical Girls and Demons.
Under such circumstances, the more Magical Girls the better.
Aurora explained to the Magical Girls her reason for telling them all this, and then brought up the Aurora Society.
After telling the Magical Girls everything about the Aurora Society, Aurora took her leave and walked away with Kelly.
She needed to give the Magical Girls in the Eastern Ocean District time to process the information, and at the same time, she needed to go back and see Tsukinomiya Yuki as soon as possible.
However, despite this, Aurora did not stay away for long after she left.
She stood far away on the high-rise building, watching the Magical Girls leave, and after seeing Ayaka and Sheep Baa-Baa part ways, she took the initiative to follow behind Sheep Baa-Baa.
Stella had previously felt that the Sheep Baa-Baa somewhat familiar, and Aurora felt the same way after meeting the Miemie in person this time.
The feeling was strange, almost like facing Tsukinomiya Yuki.
This made Oro pay Sheep Baa-Baa.
"Little K, are you sure that Magical Creatures isn't one you recognize?"
While tracking Miemie, Aurora also confirmed with Kelly again.
Kelly answered seriously and decisively:
"That's right, I've never seen her before, and her magical reactions are very strange."
"What's the meaning?"
"I can't quite put my finger on it... In short, her magical reactions don't seem like those of Magical Creatures. The spells she cast earlier, in essence... seem to be closer to those of Demons?"
Kelly herself was a little unsure.
Normal Magical Creatures can use some simple spells, such as teleportation, Telepathy, sound barriers, and simple Suggestion... Magical Creatures do know these kinds of spells.
After all, they always need to hide themselves from ordinary people. If they don't know anything about magic, how can they hide themselves?
But they definitely don't have the same fighting ability Sheep Baa-Baa!
Controlling the wind, creating ice, drawing upon the power of the earth...
These spells are essentially only usable by Magical Girls or Demons, but Miemie can use them, which Kelly finds very puzzling and also makes her somewhat wary.
She worried that Miemie might have been modified by the Demons, just like Youyou had been before.
This explains why she lost her memory and why she was able to use so much magic.
The fact that Meimei had been modified by the Demons wasn't a big deal; what Kelly was really worried about was that Miemie was a spy sent by the Demons!
The sense of familiarity Stella felt from Witch Miemie might be because the Miemie's magic is similar to that of Demons, yet it is not Demons. This "characteristic" that is similar to that of Witch's magic in some ways is the fundamental reason why Stella felt that the Miemie was familiar!
Kelly was very worried about this, Miemie is why she asked Aurora to follow Meimei and see where she was going.
"Is that so..." Aurora trusted Kelly, so she continued to stare at the Sheep Baa-Baa, watching her separate from Ayaka and then disappear into a less crowded alley.
Seeing this, Aurora and Kelly's hearts sank. Could it be... that their guess was correct?
(No way? Miemie doesn't seem like a bad person to me...)
(Little Red must have misunderstood. If Miemie were really a spy for the Demons, she wouldn't have been able to save Ayaka in the first place.)
(But Aurora probably doesn't know this, because she didn't even see the scene where Miemie guides Reiko to become Magical Girls.)
(After all, we're from God's perspective, while Little Red Hong can only speculate based on snippets of the Magical Girls' words...)
(Huh? Wait a minute?! Look! Miemie's a sheep--!)
The comments section was still debating Miemie Meimei was friend or foe, but the scene that appeared in the Sky Screen immediately silenced the comments and the Magical Girls below.
Aurora followed the Miemie into the alley.
As Middle Rank- level being, there was virtually no chance of her being exposed while tracking a Magical Creatures whose magic power level was suspected to Lower Rank.
Miemie, naturally, didn't notice her, and under Aurora's gaze, her body released a strange, special magic.
That magic was peculiar, somewhat similar to the nature of Demons, but at the same time it also had the shadow of the Emotional Force of Magical Girls. Kelly even caught a glimpse of the characteristics of Magical Creatures within it!
Under the influence of this special magic, Miemie's body began to change right in front of Aurora!
As the light enveloped him, his thin body began to lengthen and grow taller. To Aurora's astonishment, Miemie had transformed into a little boy who looked to be only about ten years old!
Aurora knew this little boy!
He is Tsukinomiya Yuki!!
Tsukinomiya Yuki! Sheep Baa-Baa!?
"What's going on?!"
Hidden in the shadows, Aurora couldn't help but gasp in surprise, her voice even changing.
