Chapter 494
"Xiao Qiu, you've been hugging her for an episode and a half! Now it's my turn!"
"Ah...!"
Xiao Qiu looked very disappointed when the soft, warm sheep pillow was taken away.
Although Chen Xiaoxia felt a little reluctant, she still had no intention of returning the sheep-shaped pillow.
They had agreed to each take turns hugging for one episode! Xiao Qiu has already exceeded her allotted time!
After seeing Aurora off, Tsukinomiya Yuki turned around and returned to the Tsukinomiya Residence.
Aurora watched as Tsukinomiya Yuki returned home, and only left after seeing him enter the house with her own eyes.
However, instead of returning to the hotel immediately, she flew high into the sky, looking down at the entire Eastern Capital below.
The location overlooking the city wasn't for searching for the Aurora Society.
She was just spacing out.
I was thinking about the conversation I had with Tsukinomiya Yuki earlier.
"I'm... a little jealous..."
Recalling what Tsukinomiya Yuki had said, Aurora felt a lump in her throat for some reason.
Fang Ming seems to be gentle to everyone.
This was true for the Magical Girls of the Central Continent District, it was true for Aurora and the others, and now it's true for Tsukinomiya Ayaka...
But this gentleness also comes in different forms.
The feelings I had towards Xiao Qiu were completely different from the feelings I had towards Aurora.
Although Aurora believed that if she were in Xiao Qiu's position, and if she had to face the pressure of Pillar-Tier Demon, Fang Ming might also have sacrificed himself to buy everyone time to develop, just like he is now.
However, that's only a 'maybe'.
For Xiao Qiu, Fang Ming's 'maybe' would become 'absolute'.
Now, Fang Ming has become Tsukinomiya Yuki, and his attitude towards Ayaka is the same as that towards Xiao Qiu.
But between Xiao Qiu and Ayaka, there doesn't seem to be a place for Aurora.
Aurora felt somewhat uncomfortable.
A young girl's emotions are always changeable. Ever since she fell in love with Fang Ming, Aurora hoped that she could become the only one in Fang Ming's heart.
Not only her, but Murong Xiaochun probably thought the same way.
But neither she nor Xiao Chun succeeded in doing so.
It is precisely because Fang Ming loves everyone and doesn't show excessive favoritism towards any one person that Aurora and Xiao Chun are unable to receive all of his love.
Even if this love is only for a companion.
"But I still have a chance..."
Aurora took a deep breath and murmured to herself.
Fang Ming lost his memory and became Tsukinomiya Yuki —this is Aurora's chance!
If Aurora can gain Tsukinomiya Yuki's approval and make him fall in love with her during this period, then she will undoubtedly be the winner in this battle for love!
Therefore, Aurora needs to find a way to get close to Tsukinomiya Yuki and make a very deep impression on him.
If necessary... perhaps some methods from the Americas District could be used...
But before that...
"Phew, Little K, where is Stella now?"
Aurora took a deep breath and asked Kelly with an icy expression.
Kelly was silent for a moment, and a few seconds later she answered Aurora's question:
"We're currently in the commercial street of Ninth District, the largest commercial street in Eastern Capital."
"Hey, you still have the mind to go shopping at this hour?"
Aurora's lips curled up, appearing to be smiling, but to others, the smile seemed far too terrifying.
Kelly replied:
"They're probably looking for traces of the Aurora Society, um..."
"What's wrong?" Aurora was a little concerned when Kelly suddenly stopped.
Kelly is now using Stella's phone's location data to determine Stella's exact location.
He stopped talking halfway through his sentence, probably because he saw what Stella was doing.
So the question is, what exactly did Stella do to make Kelly suddenly shut up?
That's the question Aurora really wanted to ask.
After a moment of silence, Kelly responded softly:
"... Stella... just... went into a children's clothing store... um."
As we all know, among Magical Girls, apart from Aurora and Xiao Chun whose physiques are barely close to 'children', the rest of the Magical Girls are all considered 'adults'.
Including Stella herself.
Normally, she wouldn't need to go to a children's clothing store at all.
So, Stella's real purpose in going to the children's clothing store at this moment... is not hard to guess.
"Heh heh heh, this guy...! He really does have feelings for older men!!!"
Upon hearing this, Aurora gritted her teeth, and the fake smile on her face could no longer be maintained.
She didn't even bother to call and confirm Stella's location; once she found out, she transformed into a red Stella star and vanished from the sky.
Stella, that despicable philanderer who tried to sneak away, must be executed today!!
Death penalty!!]

"... I wonder if he likes these clothes... Hmm, he probably does, since he's still a kid..."
Inside the children's clothing store, Stella held a cute yet stylish children's trench coat in front of her and murmured to herself.
Although she impulsively claimed to be Tsukinomiya Yuki's girlfriend, Stella, skilled at manipulating people's hearts and extremely perceptive of their emotions, naturally sensed that Tsukinomiya Yuki didn't seem to completely believe her.
After that... Stella felt extremely shy and embarrassed, hastily left her contact information, and then ran away.
"Ugh, I must be out of my mind."
Stella put the clothes back, lost in thought.
She likes Fang Ming... or perhaps she does.
But Stella herself wasn't entirely sure about this; she just felt very comfortable with Fang Ming.
Especially when the other person is in a wheelchair and you are taking care of them.
Because she could sense other people's feelings and emotions, Stella could tell that Fang Ming did not discriminate against her, nor did he feel disgust towards her because of what she had done in the past.
In Fang Ming's heart, when Stella joined the Magical Girls team, she became their companion, someone who also needed his protection.
To be honest, although Stella was ostensibly taking care of Fang Ming during that period, in reality... it was Stella herself who truly enjoyed being taken care of.
Her identity in normal society, her interpersonal relationships in the real world, where she lives, and her 'pocket money'...
Fang Ming handled all of this.
Having been sold by her own parents and never receiving any kindness, it's quite reasonable for Stella to like Fang Ming, right?
However, when she was with Fang Ming, Stella never revealed her feelings for him.
There are many reasons. For example, Stella was ultimately Witch and couldn't integrate into the team. Also, at that time, Stella couldn't understand what her feelings for Fang Ming were.
But in the end... Stella was scared.
She was afraid that if she pushed her luck any further, she would lose everything she had.
She didn't care what the Magical Girls was like, but she didn't want Fang Ming to hate her.
After all, after Lesos disappeared, the only person Stella truly acknowledged and considered to be like her was Fang Ming.
But in the end Fang Ming still left.
He sacrificed himself to protect the Magical Girls.
Stella thought she would be alone again, but she never expected...
"Tsukinomiya Yuki... Heh, this name sounds better than the previous one."
Stella couldn't help but smile when she thought of Fang Ming, who had lost his memory and was now like a child.
Although her status has changed, his kindness towards her remains the same.
While no one else knew of Tsukinomiya Yuki's existence, Stella planned to nurture Tsukinomiya Yuki and make herself the only person he could rely on.
"I really want to just grab you and take you away, and then..."
"And then what?"
"And then make him dependent on me... uh... Aurora!?"
Stella instinctively responded, then suddenly realized something was wrong. Turning around, she saw Aurora standing beside her, staring at her with a dark expression.
(That's all~)
(Caught red-handed www)
(But to be fair, the Little Bear's thoughts are dangerous, kidnapping people and stuff... isn't that illegal?)
(Hilarious, you're trying to reason with Witch about law?)
(Luckily, Aurora knew this beforehand; otherwise, if Stella had really kidnapped her, Aurora and Xiao Chun would probably be devastated.)
(Xiao Qiu and Dongdong will cry too~)
(Sigh, I'd really like to see the scene where Stella kidnaps someone, that would be so interesting www)
Stella: "..."
If you want me dead, just say so! There's no need to beat around the bush!
Sensing her own thoughts reflected in the Sky Screen, Stella was now breaking out in a cold sweat.
She never expected that Sky Screen Stella would resonate with her real-life self in such a place!
Although their goals were different, Stella did consider kidnapping Fang Ming!
The only good news is that, because of Xiao Chun and Aurora's respect for Fang Ming, they won't barge into Fang Ming bedroom when Fang Ming's not in the room, so Stella can hide here for a while.
She's still alive!
But I just don't know how much longer I can hide.
"That's enough, Sky Screen! Stop! I'm really going to die if this continues!!"
Stella clasped her hands together in prayer.
She didn't know who had created the Sky Screen, but whoever it was, she asked them to stop there!
Otherwise, tonight's dinner will probably include an extra 'whole bear feast'!
["O... Aurora...?"
Stella was startled by Aurora's sudden appearance.
Her heart began to race, and feeling rather guilty, she looked away and whispered to Aurora:
"Why are you here? I... I haven't found anything out yet..."
"You're conducting research at a children's clothing store? Do people from the Aurora Society end up shopping at a children's clothing store like little kids?"
Aurora, expressionless, launched into a merciless interrogation of the bear-eared girl.
Stella was speechless for a moment, then made up an excuse. "Um... I was just browsing, and then I accidentally wandered over here..."
"Careless?"
"Yes! It was an accident!"
