Chapter 495

"..." Aurora took a deep breath, her eyes growing even more hostile. She stared at Stella, gritting her teeth:

"Don't pretend! I've met Uncle... Xiao Xue! He told me everything!!"

General!!

Stella, who was still trying to argue, widened her eyes upon hearing Aurora's words:

"How do you know about Tsukinomiya Yuki... no, you actually know about Tsukinomiya Yuki?! Since you know about him, why didn't you tell us... didn't you tell Yu Muqiu and the others?!"

"Is that the point!? Besides, you didn't even say anything!! You thieving cat!!"

Aurora yelled at Stella.

The argument between the two girls attracted the attention of other people in the shop.

Seeing that the passersby were staring at her, Stella felt a little embarrassed. She grabbed Aurora's hand and, as if fleeing, led her out of the children's clothing store and into a nearby alley.

After confirming that no one was around, Stella casually set up a protective barrier and asked Aurora, feigning composure:

When did you find him?

"I met him after I encountered the Magical Girls from the Eastern Ocean District," Aurora replied, her gaze still fixed on a certain Witch.

Stella's lips twitched. "So you already knew about him!? Then why didn't you tell us?"

"Because I wasn't sure at the time! I thought I'd meet him in person before deciding, so we arranged to meet today! But I didn't expect..."

Aurora gritted her teeth, grabbed Stella by the collar, and said through gritted teeth:

"You... you actually have those kinds of thoughts about this older man? And you even say you're his girlfriend? I wouldn't even dare say that!!"

It's not that I dare not.

"... You've misunderstood." As a psychology master who was well-versed in human nature, Stella came up with a reason for her excuse in just one second.

She calmly said, "I was just testing him to see if he was Fang Ming. If he really is Fang Ming, he will definitely deny it."

"You know perfectly well that he has no memory of his past! And you still want to argue!"

"I... I only found out later..." Stella's voice weakened.

Aurora snorted coldly, suddenly took out her phone, and said to Stella, "Fine, then let me call Xiao Xue out, and we'll confront her face to face, how about that?"

Snap!

Before Aurora could even make the call, Stella grabbed Aurora's arms with both hands. "Wait--!"

What else do you want to say?

Aurora stopped moving and looked at Stella.

But Stella fell silent at this moment, and didn't speak for a long time.

Aurora wasn't in a hurry and waited quietly to the side.

After a moment, Stella released Aurora's arm and sighed:

"Okay... okay..."

As she spoke, she sighed again, then took several deep breaths before Stella finally made up her mind and said seriously:

"I admit it, I... maybe I really have fallen for Fang Ming."

"..." Aurora's eyes hardened further. "So that's your reason for lying about being this older man's girlfriend?"

"Yes."

Stella actually admitted it!

Aurora's eyes widened instantly.

She seemed surprised that Stella would admit it so readily, but with Stella's direct admission, Aurora didn't know what to say.

Stella, however, started talking and said to Aurora:

"I know what I did might have been despicable, but... this might be the closest I've ever come to Fang Ming in my life."

"After all, I'm not like you. I've never fought alongside him, nor have I ever trained with him. I'm not even Magical Girls. If we used normal methods, I could never be with him in this lifetime."

"So, since I've encountered such a rare opportunity, of course I have to seize it. After all, I'm Witch, and what's wrong with Witch being a little despicable!"

Stella's tone even carried a hint of pride as she finished speaking.

That's right, she's Witch whom Magical Girls call 'despicable' and 'shameless'!

Given the current reputation of Witch among Magical Girls, why should Stella care about morality and ethics?

If you like someone, go for it, even if it means using dirty tricks!

She believed that if her sister Lesos were still here, Lesos would definitely support her!

Faced with Stella's confident and assertive statement, Aurora was momentarily speechless.

But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, what Stella did was actually what she wanted to do, only Stella did it earlier than planned.

In this respect, Aurora has no right to say anything about Stella.

Aurora was really angry about was that Stella had hidden the fact that she liked Fang Ming, and she was angry that she hadn't noticed it herself.

But none of that matters now.

Now that things have been discussed openly, it's time to establish a framework, just like the framework she and Xiao Chun established.

"Alright... let's put that aside for now, but since you also like older men, we have to follow the rules."

Aurora crossed her arms, raised her head, and said to Stella, "Even though you're Witch, you have to compete with us fairly in these matters!"

Volume 5 Side Story <Magic Mystery> Season 2: Chapter 532 The Sudden Appearance of the Information Demon

When it comes to matters of the heart, it doesn't matter whether you're Witch or Magical Girls.

Since we've fallen for the same person, the competition must be fair and square; any attempt to sneak away is absolutely unacceptable!

Um... to add, it's not allowed in certain situations...

"Upright and honorable indeed..."

Stella gave Aurora a meaningful look.

In her eyes, the competition between Aurora and Xiao Chun was hardly fair and square, at least not at times.

However, now that Aurora has unilaterally acknowledged her as a 'love rival,' Stella wouldn't be foolish enough to exclude herself.

At least this way, even if Stella gets close to Fang Ming... Tsukinomiya Yuki and Aurora are very angry, they won't stop her too much.

If this is truly denied, Aurora will likely keep a close watch on Stella from now on, which is something Stella doesn't want to see.

Thinking of this, Stella said to Aurora:

"Okay, I know what to do."

"Good to know."

Although Aurora still had some reservations about Stella, this was the best possible outcome.

It was just that Aurora felt a tiny bit resentful deep down.

She should have been the one who found Tsukinomiya Yuki and gradually developed feelings for her.

But now, there's another Stella.

Tsk, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have asked Stella for help in the first place...

Aurora sighed inwardly, while comforting herself at the same time. At least Xiao Chun hadn't joined the battle yet, and Dongdong hadn't come over either. Her only competitor was Stella, and she still had a significant advantage!

With just a little effort, winning over a middle-aged man who looks like a cute boy is definitely no problem!

After all, they had been living together for several months!

Having barely settled their score with Stella, the two girls fell silent for a while, then, quite surprisingly, brought up another topic.

"Prosperity Society, have you investigated them?"

Stella suddenly asked Aurora.

Aurora nodded. "I had Little K investigate. This organization... does have some issues. They have very tight security on their online information. Even with Little K's abilities, they couldn't find any information about them before they started."

Seeing that the two Magical Girls had finally gotten down to business, Kelly finally found an opportunity to chime in.

She flew out of the phone, forming a ghostly image beside the two girls, and said to them:

"Aurora Society knows I'm a 'hacker'. I can't connect to the network in some places. I don't know if they physically disconnected the network or if they found a way to prevent me from accessing their internal network."

"Of course, losing my previous platform and the significant drop in computing power is also one of the reasons."

If we're talking about Kelly on the original phone, she could be considered the world's undisputed 'number one hacker'.

Even disregarding the Emotional Force stored within it, the technology contained in that phone far surpasses the average level of this world.

With that phone, Kelly could freely hack into any network in the world.

But not now.

The new phone she's currently using is just an ordinary phone that you can buy on the market.

Although it's the latest model and has a high level of technology, it's still far behind its predecessors.

As a result, Kelly's hacking ability also decreased, and she was unable to find all the information about the Aurora Society through the internet.

"Not being able to find any information is the biggest news, isn't it?"

Stella gave a cold laugh, a laugh directed at the Aurora Society.

She said, "When it comes to the study of magic, no one in this world Aurora Society except us... no, even Magical Girls probably can't beat them in this aspect."

"So, if they encounter obstacles while investigating magical properties, wouldn't that be 100% proof that they Aurora Society?"

"That's true," Aurora sighed, "But what are we supposed to do now? We can't just go to the Prosperity Society headquarters and cause a scene, that would be too stupid."

Fang Ming didn't Hope Magic girls to be known by people with ulterior motives, and if Aurora and the others really went to break into the headquarters of the Prosperity Society, their existence would most likely be exposed to the public.

At that point, the Magical Girls will find themselves in a passive position.

Stella shook her head:

"No, of course we won't do that, but... that doesn't mean we can't find someone to do it."

"... What's the meaning?"

"I already have some ideas about this. If you trust me, you can leave it to me. Until I have a result, you can continue playing house with the Magical Girls here."

"Tsk, judging from your tone, it's like you're treating me like a child..."

"I just didn't want you to know the darkness of this world... Isn't that what Fang Ming has always been doing?"

Stella glanced at Aurora meaningfully.

Fang Ming is alive... Before he lost his memory, he was always trying to keep the Magical Girls' hearts pure. He tried his best to keep the Magical Girls away from the dark things in this world and prevent their pure hearts from being tainted.

After Fang Ming left, someone had to take on this responsibility once again.

And of all these people, no one is more suited to handle these matters Stella.

Through her Mind Magic, she had long seen the darkness in this world, so it was most appropriate for her to deal with it.

But Aurora looked on with disdain:

"Don't underestimate me, you bastard. I grew up in the Americas District; I've seen all sorts of dirty things."

"Oh, what a coincidence, me too."

Stella smiled slightly and said, "Besides, I've seen far more than you have."

(Alright, alright, I know you two are in a bad situation, if we keep going it'll turn into a misery contest)

(Well, if we're talking about the most tragic one, Stella definitely comes to mind...)

(Indeed, although Little Red has experienced and seen a lot, she can at least be considered middle class. Before her uncle passed away, she lived a decent life.)

(Little Bear and Xilisi were actually at the very bottom of the Americas District, otherwise they wouldn't have been captured and used for experiments...)

(... By the way, how's the Americas District doing these days?)

(Ah, I heard that the Magical Girls have established a group called [Star Path], which is dedicated to doing charity work for the lower classes... Anyway, things are much better than before.)

(Ah, Magical Girls... ah, it's so nice...)

(Magical Girls Are Gods!!)
