Chapter 510

"So when someone says they can get us moving again," "of course we'll agree."

"Terminal illness..." Shiori suddenly realized something and turned to Reiko, saying, "So, Aurora Society been using these patients for experiments? Does that mean the hospitals in this city might also be..."

The Twin Demons looked at Shiori this time.

Perhaps having escaped the Nightmare Seed, their humanity was gradually returning. As Demons, they actually spoke to Shiori and Reiko on their own initiative:

"The hospital we were previously at was the central hospital of the District One..." "This is the only information we can give you."

"District One ..." Reiko murmured to herself.

That District One, jokingly referred to as the 'aristocratic district'?

So the Twin Demons are actually residents of District One? Even they... couldn't escape the Aurora Society's clutches?

"That's all we can say." "We're so sorry for hurting you, but... we don't regret it." "Therefore, we don't deserve any sympathy."

"Farewell, Magical Girls."

Leaving behind their final words, the Twin Demons vanished completely before Reiko and Shiori.

The Demons crisis here has been resolved, and the ordinary people around who were controlled by the Twin Demons are gradually regaining consciousness.

Although many people were injured, at least no one died.

Despite this, Reiko's mood was not as good as she had imagined. She clenched her fists, her gaze still fixed on the spot where the Twin Demons had disappeared, her heart heavy.

Aurora Society...

Reiko now has a profound understanding of the 'evil force' that only exists in the words of Aurora and Miemie Sheep.

This organization... is indeed, as Aurora and Miemie Sheep said, a cancer on the world!

"Reiko...?"

Seeing that Reiko was still silent, Shiori put her hand on Reiko's shoulder. "... We should go, Aurora- senpai... and Ayaka and Kanon are waiting for us."

"Um."

Reiko composed herself and nodded earnestly.

Shiori stared at Reiko's figure, her expression slightly dazed.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that something about Reiko had changed.

That different thing, perhaps, is called 'growth'.

(Ah, these Demons were human before, so they really were.)

(Isn't that obvious? The Aurora Society doesn't have the ability to conjure Demons out of thin air... Okay, maybe they do, but these Demons are probably uncontrollable for them...)

(Sigh, I chose to become a volunteer in order to get treatment, but I ended up becoming Demons...)

(Put away your sympathy. Didn't you hear them say they don't regret doing this? If they had another chance, they would still choose to volunteer at the Aurora Society.)

(But being tormented by illness is truly unbearable...)

(Speaking of which, if Ayaka hadn't met Miemie and become Magical Girls, would she also...?)

Tsukinomiya Ayaka silent.

Regarding the issue of comments, Ayaka really wanted to say that she wouldn't do that, that she definitely wouldn't become Demons... or something like that...

However, when Ayaka recalled lying in the hospital bed, she wasn't so sure anymore.

If Aurora Society find Ayaka before Miemie does, then Ayaka might indeed become one of the Demons above.

Ultimately, Ayaka's desire to become Magical Girls wasn't as pure as others'; she genuinely didn't want to stay in a hospital bed forever.

And this feeling is almost identical to that of the Twin Demons.

"Miss Ayaka, don't think so much." Suddenly, Wu Huayin's voice rang in Ayaka's ear.

Ayaka around, and there stood the long-haired black Magical Girls beside Ayaka, looking up at the Sky Screen, and saying to Ayaka:

"Anyway, you're Magical Girls now. Whether you're Sky Screen or under the Sky Screen, you're Magical Girls, and that's enough."

"... I know."

"But it's really a pity, those two Demons, they might have become Magical Girls too."

Wu Huayin sighed as if changing the subject.

Judging from the fact that the Twin Demons were able to retain enough sanity, they might actually be qualified to become Magical Girls.

It's a pity they had already died in the Sky Screen.

I wonder if they will become Magical Girls in real life.

"Can they become Magical Girls?"

Aisaki Ai turned to Fang Ming, who was standing beside her, and asked the question that Kanon had been thinking about.

Fang Ming said regretfully, "They do have the potential to be Magical Girls, but... their potential isn't very strong."

"Are qualifications... also graded?"

"Yes, I only learned that after I became Magical Creatures, that I could vaguely sense the limits of a Magical Girls's growth."

"In my perception, they might only be at most at the Middle Rank."

Once Magical Creatures reach a higher level of magical power, they can vaguely sense the potential of Magical Girls.

In Fang Ming's eyes, someone like Nishino Hitomi has great potential and may even have the potential to rise to the Upper Rank, or even surpass Upper Rank.

The four Magical Girls from the Eastern Ocean District, perhaps because they were blessed by the fate of Magical Girls, each possessed magical aptitude that exceeded the limits that Fang Ming could perceive.

Just like he sensed Xiao Qiu and Aurora.

On the contrary, the prototypes of the Twin Demons are two girls named Ami and Yumi. They do have the potential to become Magical Girls, but their potential is not very good.

But this is actually normal. After all, not all Magical Girls can successfully reach the Upper Rank or even Pillar Rank. When the headquarters of Magical Girls still existed, having the aptitude of the Middle Rank was often enough to become a qualified Magical Girls.

Despite this, Fang Ming had no intention of signing a contract with Gemini.

In the upcoming battle against the Demons, even high -Middle Rank strength, let alone Upper Rank strength, would be practically useless. Making the twins Magical Girls would only be sending them to their deaths for no reason.

"That's a real shame..." Aisaki Ai sighed.

As a fan of <Magic Autumn>, she was well aware that in the world of magic, ranks were almost impossible to cross, and the potential of being only at the Middle Rank was enough to prove that the Twin Demons would have no future in the world of magic.

Unless, in the future, Demon Society completely eradicated and Magical Creatures are able to be born again.

In that case, perhaps there would be more Magical Girls, and the twins would have the opportunity to become Magical Girls.

"By the way, Mr. Fang Ming." Suddenly, Aisaki Ai seemed to remember something and asked Fang Ming:

"Although it seems somewhat unlikely, do I have the aptitude to become Magical Girls?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ming glanced at Aisaki Ai in silence, and replied slowly, "... Yes, but..."

"... Your qualifications... aren't enough, right?"

"Feel sorry."

"It's alright," Aisaki Ai laughed. "Having it is enough. I'm already satisfied."

Compared to ordinary people who don't even have the qualifications, Aisaki Ai, who has the qualifications to become Magical Girls, is clearly much better.

After a brief pause, Aisaki Ai asked Fang Ming with a slightly strange expression, "By the way, can I... actually be considered a girl?"

"..."

Fang Ming had no answer to that question.

At 26, Aisaki Ai could no longer be called a 'young girl', but even if Fang Ming was a straight man, he at least knew what he could and couldn't say.

Saying directly that the other person is past their 'shelf life' is too impolite.

Therefore, Fang Ming ultimately chose to remain silent.

"Still unable to make a choice?"

In the city, now completely turned into a desert, the Desert Demon shook his head and sighed at Aurora:

"They said that if she were Magical Girls, she should have made the choice easily, but now it seems they were clearly wrong."

"Do you think I'm stupid!" Aurora said coldly, "Even if I revealed my identity, do you think you could let these people go?"

"How can you know whether I'll let these people go if you don't make a choice?"

"Fine, then release them first! Release them first, and I'll tell you who I am!"

"Hehehe, sorry, I can't do that. After all, I can't guarantee that you'll be able to tell me after I release him."

"That's what the Desert Demon is saying."

Then the topic returned to its original point.

Aurora didn't trust the Demons, but the Demons didn't believe Aurora would actually obey, and the two were at an impasse.

But in this respect, Aurora is actually more passive.

Because the quicksand controlled by the Desert Demon is gradually swallowing up the ordinary people buried underneath.

If Aurora continues to hesitate, these ordinary people could be in mortal danger!

But getting Aurora to reveal her identity is something she definitely wouldn't do.

If it were just Aurora alone, it would be fine; she could just say it and wander the world Aurora herself.

Unfortunately, Aurora had been to Central Continent District, and her movements and the people she knew were all recorded online.

Once she exposes her identity, Xiao Qiu and the others will be exposed as well!

This is something Aurora doesn't want to see.

Therefore, she couldn't answer, and absolutely could not answer.

For a moment, Aurora was quite at a loss.

Volume 5 Side Story <Magic Mystery> Season 2: Chapter 549 Leave this to me

If an older man were here, what would he do...?

Aurora couldn't help but think of Fang Ming.

Then, I couldn't help but laugh inside.

If Fang Ming were transformed into Xiao Bai, she would probably disregard the lives of ordinary people and kill the Desert Demon directly.

She would probably say, 'You're the one who killed these people, I just need to avenge them,' and then swiftly and decisively eliminate the Desert Demon.

As for the ordinary people who died as a result, she would probably turn a blind eye to the sins imposed upon her.

Aurora could actually do that too.

But...

Aurora was ultimately too influenced by Xiao Qiu and the others. She didn't want to see anyone die because of her, nor did she want the old man to think she was a cold-hearted person.

Even Aurora would find it difficult to bear the guilt of 'indirectly killing tens of thousands of people' all at once.

So... what should we do?

Honestly, we agreed to finish this quickly, but in the end, we're the ones who've wasted time. I wonder how Reiko and the others are doing.

Aurora's thoughts became jumbled.

Completely at a loss for what to do, she became increasingly frustrated.

Fortunately, Aurora was not alone.

'Hey, Aurora!'

Stella's voice suddenly rang in Aurora's mind.

Aurora's expression remained unchanged, but she was inwardly delighted as she said to Stella:

Stella! You're finally here! Where are you now?

"Outside of Eastern Capital, I have some good news for you. Because the Information Demon has focused all his energy on Eastern Capital, and even on preventing Kelly from hacking into the network, the network security of the Aurora Society outside has been significantly weakened..."

We've now found some clues about the Aurora Society...

'This isn't the time to talk about that! You can see what I'm going through right now, right? Help me think of a solution!'
