Chapter 484

Therefore, personally conducting the body search is absolutely out of the question, and having someone under his control conduct the search could easily trigger a stress response in Kondo.

That's why Stella wasted so much breath trying to get more information from Kondo.

But... Stella clearly underestimated the ruthlessness of the Aurora Society.

"It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just... cough cough...!"

Kondo looked at Stella, the corners of his mouth turning up high, when he suddenly began to cough violently, and a strange aura rose and surged around him.

Sensing this powerful magical reaction, Stella's pupils contracted, and she retreated swiftly without a second thought!

At this moment, Kondo uttered his last words:

"But... I'm out of time! Witch!! Let's die together!!!"

Boom!!!!

As Kondo finished speaking, a surge of powerful magic, mixed with the aura of high explosives, exploded instantly in the VIP room!

In an instant, flames engulfed the entire floor!

(Ugh, I'm sick and tired of talking about how disgusting the Aurora Society. So when is this lousy organization going to die?)

(The aurora in the Sky Screen is unlikely to happen anytime soon, after all... the Aurora Society in the Sky Screen is clearly closely linked to the government.)

(They really have connections everywhere, both in the underworld and the legitimate world. If it weren't for Sky Screen, who knows how long the Aurora Society in reality would have been wiped out.)

(Is Stella alright? She doesn't seem to have any abilities other than telepathy?)

(She's Middle Rank- level 'Witch' after all, she'll be alright... right?)

The concerns expressed in the live chat are not unfounded.

From her first appearance until now, the abilities that Sky Screen Stella has demonstrated have all been related to the mind.

Unlike Xiao Qiu and the others, she doesn't possess extremely high combat power. Judging from her current performance, she's more like a fragile mage.

That's why the viewers in the live chat couldn't help but worry when they saw Stella engulfed in flames.

What the audience doesn't know is that, whether they are Magical Girls or Witch, once their rank crosses the Middle Rank level, they are no longer ordinary humans.

The explosion caused by Kondo in the Sky Screen should not have much impact on Stella.

What truly had an impact was the magic mixed in with the explosion.

That magic originated from the same source as Stella; who knows if it will harm Stella?

Volume 5 Side Story <Magic Mystery> Season 2: Chapter 520 Stella and Tsukinomiya Yuki

The largest casino in the Prosperity Harmony Association was bombed from the inside. In response to such a major incident, the Federation immediately dispatched troops and rescue personnel to the scene.

Incidentally, they are also searching for traces of the Witch Stella.

Clearly, there are members of the Aurora Society within the upper echelons of the Federal Government in Eastern Capital; otherwise, they wouldn't have reacted so quickly.

The only good news is that the Aurora Society doesn't know who the Magical Girls 'destroyed' the casino really is.

They didn't even know the Magical Girls's specific identity; they only knew that the Magical Girls existed in Eastern Capital.

Stella doesn't need to worry about the Aurora Society seeking revenge for the time being.

But the bad news is...

"Cough cough... I got tricked..."

In a secluded alleyway away from the Prosperity Harmony Association building, watching the patrol officers running past outside, the bear-eared girl pulled her hood tighter, her smile bitter.

She appears to be in good condition, but in reality, her inner magic has become unstable.

Stella unconsciously recalled what Lesos had said to her.

"Stella, remember, your physical condition is not very stable right now. You know why."

During the time Stella Aurora Society, Lesos spoke to her Telepathy, saying the following.

Stella, who was still searching for Yu Muqiu and the others, nodded and replied to Lesos:

"Because my body... has not been fully developed yet..."

"That's right, in human terms, you're a 'premature baby' right now. Normal magical fluctuations won't have much of an impact on you, but... in your world, the Mutant Magic that activated your Emotion Seed and turned you into what you are now can easily harm you..."

"Therefore, before your body fully 'grows,' you need to be careful not to be affected by the Mutant Magic, otherwise..."

"... Otherwise, it would turn out like this?"

Stella raised her hand, her palm trembling, magic surging beneath her veins.

The surging, Mutant Magic seemed to be tearing open her blood vessels, bringing negative effects and changes to Stella's body.

As Lesos stated, in order to ensure her successful escape, Stella's body was not fully developed when she fled; she was a complete 'premature baby'.

In fact, it's uncertain whether Stella would have survived if she hadn't become Witch.

Originally, Stella's situation should have been handled by Lesos. Lesos would have helped Stella eliminate the negative effects on her body and gradually bring Stella body closer to that of a normal person.

But...

Lesos didn't stay long before being driven back by the Magical Girls.

In order to buy time for the Magical Girls, the main body did not even enter this world before perishing together with the Demon King.

No one could help Stella sort out the chaotic magic within her body.

Only Fang Ming, during the few days he 'cooperated' with Stella, managed to use his own special abilities to barely help Stella sort out the Mutant Magic within her body.

Normally, as long as Stella doesn't suffer from the corruption of some Mutant Magic of the same origin, it's only a matter of time before her body returns to normal.

However, the magical power generated when Kondo self-destructed just now happened to be the same magical power that Stella had.

This shared magical power is causing Stella's body to begin developing into a monster.

Of course, Stella is currently able to control herself, and given time, it's not a problem for her to gradually return to normal.

But Aurora Society really give her time?

"I have to find Aurora... No... no..."

Stella was about to go find Aurora, but then she quickly dismissed the idea.

Ultimately, Stella is a Witch, and Lesos's relationship with the Magical Girls wasn't exactly good.

Influenced by Lesos, Stella is not very close to the Magical Girls.

When Fang Ming was around, things were alright. With Fang Ming acting as a 'middleman,' Stella was still willing to talk to the Magical Girls and help them.

However, after Fang Ming left, there was always an unclear barrier between Stella and the Magical Girls.

Even though she was quite familiar with Yu Muqiu and the others, it was still the same.

Now that she's experiencing health problems, Stella doesn't dare ask the Magical Girls for help. She's afraid they'll treat her as an outsider and eliminate her.

"If only... she were still here..."

Slumped against the alley wall, Stella slowly slid down and sat on the ground, muttering to herself.

The 'she' Stella was referring to was Fang Ming transformed into Xiao Bai.

During the time she took care of Xiao Bai, Stella could feel that Xiao Bai was genuinely kind to her, and because she knew about Xiao Bai's memories, she felt even more at ease with Xiao Bai, and the two had a very harmonious relationship.

If Xiao Bai... Fang Ming were still alive, Stella would probably tell him her situation right now.

But Fang Ming is no longer here.

Stella was lost in thought when suddenly, a boy's voice appeared in front of her:

"Sister... are you alright?"

"!?"

Stella looked up abruptly upon hearing the sound.

She was enchanted with a 'no unauthorized entry' spell; normally, even if an ordinary person saw her, they would ignore her! How could anyone possibly greet her?

Stella's first thought was that people from the Aurora Society might come knocking on her door.

However, when she looked up and saw the boy standing in front of her, Stella's pupils contracted instantly.

"... Fang Ming?"

She subconsciously uttered the other person's name.

But she was met with puzzled looks in response.

(Oh, so the Little Bear in the Sky Screen is in such poor health?)

(Hasn't the reason already been stated? It's because he was a 'premature baby')

(Premature baby... Pfft, that's quite a vivid description...)

(Wait, is my cousin really that popular with Little Bear?)

(After all, my cousin was the first person to show kindness to the Little Bear.)

(Where's Xiao Qiu?)

(Hmm, is Xiao Qiu the second one?)

(Good heavens, I never expected to find my cousin's harem hidden away!)

(Oh no, Stella has sneaked into our house before we can meet Little Red!)

Aurora & Xiao Chun: "???"

Below the Sky Screen, having witnessed Sky Screen 'Stella inner thoughts, the two Magical Girls, one red and one green, almost simultaneously looked at Stella sitting in the corner.

Stella, who was sitting with Lesos, was about to put a can of cola in her hand when she felt the gazes of Xiao Chun and Aurora. She looked up at her own thoughts reflected on the Sky Screen, remained silent for a while, and then put the cola back.

She turned to Aurora and Xiao Chun and said:

"You should all know very well that the Sky Screen under the sky is different from reality, right? In other words, I may not necessarily like Fang Ming now."

"'Not necessarily'... well..." Xiao Chun narrowed her eyes. "... So why is it 'not necessarily'?"

"..."

Hearing Xiao Chun ask that question, Stella suddenly felt like slapping herself.

She only said "not necessarily" to be more precise.

But they forgot that in the hearts of girls like Xiao Chun and Aurora who liked Fang Ming, this 'not necessarily' was almost equivalent to 'absolutely'!

Although Stella did have a slight liking for Fang Ming, it had absolutely nothing to do with a romantic relationship!

So she should have just said she didn't like Fang Ming!

"I misspoke. I won't like Fang Ming, I absolutely won't like him! And I won't try to steal him from you! So you can rest assured."

Stella quickly changed her tune and spoke seriously.

She feared that if she didn't change her tune, she wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Chun said again, dissatisfied:

"Fang Ming isn't that bad, is he? You don't like him at all?"

Stella: "???"

Are you alright?! So, should I like you or not?!

Stella felt that Xiao Chun might have some mental issues.

Fortunately, Xiao Chun and Aurora didn't look at her anymore. It seems they understood that Stella in reality hadn't spent much time with Fang Ming and didn't have the fertile ground to develop feelings for Fang Ming, so the Love Seed couldn't possibly grow.

Stella breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao Chun and Aurora were no longer looking at her.

But perhaps influenced by the Sky Screen, Stella still secretly glanced towards Xiao Qiu, her gaze lingering on Fang Ming sheep in Xiao Qiu's arms.

So... if nothing changes, will I fall in love with him?

This feeling... is a bit strange...

["!?"

Stella stared blankly at the white-haired boy before her.
