Chapter 501
Wu Huayin walked beside Tsukinomiya Ayaka, looking around and feeling that everything around her was full of incongruity.
"Do you feel that way too?" Ayaka turned to look at Kanon and said, "Me too, I always feel... like I've forgotten something..."
"... What are we here for?" Kanon asked again.
Ayaka, "It seems they're here to handle something..."
"Handling something? What is it?"
"... I forgot..."
"Me too..." Wu Huayin's eyes revealed a sense of bewilderment.
The two girls looked at each other, and after a while, they suddenly asked at the same time:
"Who are you?"
The background music abruptly stopped, and an eerie sense of dread spread among the girls.
"Not good!"
Kelly, who was still searching for Stella with Aurora and Xiao Chun, suddenly exclaimed, "It's the Forgetting Demon! Although it should be just an avatar of the same entity as the Aging Demon, it's still a Pillar Rank Demons! The children in the Sky Screen are in danger!"
"The Forgetting Demon? Does his ability make people forget everything?" Xiao Chun asked in surprise.
"That's right! Although he's Pillar-Tier Demon among the Twelve Pillars who isn't good at combat and his combat strength isn't ranked high... he's the most troublesome of all the Demons!"
"If Magical Girls is no match for him in strength, she will gradually forget her purpose, her identity, and even... her past during the battle!"
"Wow, there are such troublesome Demons..."
Aurora sighed, "Twelve Pillars, that's really troublesome."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't be the Twelve Pillars ..." Kelly said softly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chun couldn't help but worry about Ayaka and Kanon in the Sky Screen:
"So... how will they break this deadlock?"
"I don't know... If it were Aurora... I mean, the Aurora in the Sky Screen, perhaps there would still be a chance to eliminate the Forgetting Demon's counterpart, but... right now there's only Ayaka and Kanon..."
Kelly's words were also full of worry.
With Aurora around, perhaps there's still a way to break the deadlock, thanks to Aurora 'Heart of Passion'.
Ayaka and Kanon's magic—one is for protection, the other for Healing —are both primarily support-oriented. How will they possibly fight the Forgetting Demon?
They didn't even have any Magical Creatures to tell them what to do!
"This is indeed a bit troublesome... uh, no, what is that...!?"
Aurora muttered in agreement.
But no sooner had they finished speaking than they saw a streak of azure light suddenly flash across the Sky Screen in the distance.
[Tsukinomiya Ayaka and Wu Huayin looked at each other, having forgotten each other under the magic of the Forgetting Demon.]
They are even gradually forgetting about their own identities.
The two girls seemed to have lost sight of each other.
This is also the magic of the Forgetting Demon, which makes people forget the existence of those around them.
Even the deserted streets right now are a product of the Forgetting Demon's magic.
Because they forgot everything here, Ayaka and Kanon couldn't see anyone else, let alone the culprit— the Demons who made them forget each other!
Just as the two Magical Girls were about to completely forget each other, and even themselves, suddenly, a straight streak of azure light flashed from the far distance!
A beam of azure light stretched across the sky, shooting straight from outside the Eastern Capital towards the District Three within the Eastern Capital!
The light, like a sword of judgment, pierced straight into the interior of a building in the District Three.
As the azure light flashed, a piercing scream echoed throughout the entire block—
"Eee..."
A piercing scream rang out, and the confusion in Ayaka and Kanon's eyes vanished instantly.
They looked towards the source of the screams almost simultaneously, only to see a strange Demons Nightmare Seed had been shattered and was gradually dissipating.
That's the counterpart of the Forgetting Demon!
He appeared before the two Magical Girls!
However... he is indeed a 'dying man'!
Who is it?
When the Forgetting Demon died, Kanon and Ayaka also regained their memories, but as soon as they regained their memories, the emotion in their minds was replaced by 'shock'.
To be able to instantly kill such a powerful Demons in such a short time, and with a ranged attack at that, is definitely not something any Magical Girls they know, let alone Aurora, who is not a melee specialist!
The two Magical Girls looked toward the source of the azure ray, but even with their enhanced eyesight, they could not see the person who had helped them.
Only the Sky Screen, stretched infinitely by the camera, revealed Luna, atop a tall building in a nearby town outside the Eastern Capital, as she reloaded her sniper rifle.
The spent casing of the magic bullet ejected, transforming into specks of magical light. Luna once again focused her gaze on the sniper scope, her voice calm and indifferent as she spoke:
"One, problem solved."
The camera pans to a full view of Luna, as well as to the lion Lien beside her.
Then the background music (BGM) started playing, followed by the ending theme (ED).
Episode 6 ends with Luna's reinforcements!
(Wow! A new character suddenly appeared! [straight reading])
(She was clearly the second female lead in the previous season, but she didn't appear until the sixth episode in this season www)
(Nonsense! Wasn't the second female lead in the previous installment Xiao Bai?!)
(No, Xiao Bai is the female lead!)
(Aurora: Shouldn't I be the female lead?)
(No, Aurora is just a mysterious random girl [not really])
(The mysterious passerby is Xiao Chun, right? www[bushi])
The first "mysterious passerby woman" remained expressionless.
The second "mysterious passerby" puffed out her cheeks. "Seriously, I'm not some mysterious passerby..."
Xiao Chun muttered to herself.
But upon closer reflection, whether it's the main story or the spin-off, Xiao Chun's screen time is actually quite limited.
On the contrary, Fang Ming, whether in his main body or his clone, seems to have a lot of screen time.
In terms of total screen time, Fang Ming and Xiao Bai combined almost have more screen time than the actual female lead Yu Muqiu!
Who exactly is the female lead?!
"Alright, hurry up and find Stella! If we don't find her soon, she'll probably run away!"
Aurora didn't care about such things; she had no interest in these nicknames. What Aurora cared about more was where Stella was hiding.
Thinking of Stella, Xiao Chun quickly regained her composure and began to think seriously:
"We've searched every place we could think of. Now, the only places left to search are..."
"...(Brother Fang Ming's ) Uncle's room!"
Xiao Chun and Aurora shouted in perfect unison.
Because they respect Fang Ming, and because Fang Ming has repeatedly emphasized that they should not barge into his room, Xiao Chun and Aurora rarely sneak into Fang Ming's bedroom now.
This is especially true when no one is around.
Therefore, for Stella, there was no place safer than Fang Ming's bedroom!
"Damn it! I only just thought of that!" Aurora cursed under her breath, and followed Xiao Chun to Fang Ming's bedroom.
Xiao Chun's face was also dark. "It seems this girl really does have designs on Fang Ming! I actually believed her lies before!"
Two girls, one in red and one in green, ran menacingly toward Stella's hiding place, talking as they went.
At that moment, Stella, who was hiding in Fang Ming's bedroom, suddenly shivered.
Just as she was about to leave for another place, she suddenly realized that she had been hiding here for a while.
She seems... like...
There's no escaping it!
Volume 5 Side Story <Magic Mystery> Season 2: Chapter 539, Episode 6 End and Intermission
"Wow! Episode 6 is finally over! My neck is sore from watching for so long."
After the sixth episode ended, Chen Xiaoxia stretched and complained a little.
While the three-episode run is fast-paced and enjoyable to watch, for most people, watching a movie for nearly an hour and a half straight can indeed be tiring.
Moreover, everyone's nerves have been on edge ever since the Information Demon appeared.
Now that episode six has ended, everyone is actually quite relieved that Sky Screen didn't immediately start airing episode seven, otherwise they probably would have had to go back to rest first and watch the rebroadcast the next day.
"But it's Luna!"
The character who appeared at the end of episode six surprised Yu Muqiu greatly.
She looked around and found Luna, who had been lurking in the corner and barely noticeable.
At that moment, Luna was carrying Lien, intending to go back to her room to rest. Seeing Xiao Qiu's gaze, she tilted her head in confusion and pointed to herself:
"?"
"Ah, it's nothing, I was just a little surprised that you were the one who came to help last. I thought it would be one of us."
Yu Muqiu said to Luna, somewhat embarrassed.
As Luna's mouth double, Lien spoke on Luna's behalf at this moment:
"Well, after all, my Luna is the second female lead in the spin-off, so it's normal for her to appear, right? Rather, it's a bit late that she only appears at the end of episode six."
"Give my child more screen time, Sky Screen!"
As Lien finished speaking, she even waved her little fist at the Sky Screen, clearly quite dissatisfied.
In the first season of the spin-off, Luna's role is actually quite similar to that of Xiao Bai in the main series. In the early stages, she is both an enemy and a friend of the main characters, but later she will fight alongside them to eliminate their common enemy.
Such a character should generally be quite popular, and Luna herself is also quite beautiful, ranking in the upper-middle range among all Magical Girls, and her popularity is similarly high.
Logically, he should have a significant role in the second season of the spin-off.
Not only did he only appear in a few scenes in the opening sequence, but he also didn't officially appear in the main series until the sixth episode.
The spin-off season 2 has already aired halfway through, and she's only just officially appeared. What kind of second female lead is she?!
No wonder the comments section was full of jokes about this being a new character.
However, Luna herself shook her head, indicating that she didn't care about this.
"It's okay, fewer scenes are fine too."
She never liked being in the public eye, and now that she's being treated like a celebrity, it's making Luna even more exhausted.
The fact that she didn't have much screen time in the early part of the spin-off season 2 actually made her very happy. On the contrary, her reappearance made Luna a little depressed and a little worried.
She worried... that she would also leave a dark mark on her past in the Sky Screen.
Just like Xiao Qiu and her Magical Girls predecessors...
"At least Luna's appearance was crucial, and that's enough." Fang Ming interjected as he overheard the Magical Girls' conversation.
"Often, characters with a lot of screen time are not necessarily memorable, but those who save the day in time are the ones that are unforgettable."
"Luna's timing was perfect. She appeared just when the Magical Girls were facing an insurmountable crisis and were on the verge of disaster, delivering a fatal blow to the enemy. This kind of plot makes Luna even more memorable."
Fang Ming commented.
In fact, in his opinion, Luna's appearance at the end of the sixth episode was somewhat abrupt.
After all, there had been no prior indication of any connection between Aurora or Stella and Luna, as if Luna had appeared out of nowhere.
It has a bit of a deus ex machina feel to it.
