Chapter 515
Some of the bullets were deflected by the Information Demon, but all of them were blocked by Ayaka's shield. The few that Ayaka couldn't block were neutralized by Luna's subsequent attacks.
Although the rebounding attack might be much stronger than the original attack due to the amount of data, as long as one's own power is controlled to a certain extent, it is not impossible for Ayaka to completely block it with his defensive capabilities.
"Shiori!"
On the other side, Reiko also called out to Shiori, and the two Magic Link. At the same time, Reiko drew Card Swap cards, placing a buff on Shiori.
Shiori increased her speed again, attacking the Information Demon even faster Aurora!
The magical radiance released by the Magical Girls Shine in this enclosed data space.
Lights of different colors and attacks of varying sizes collided and shone.
The Information Demon's form shattered, then reformed, ran to another place, and was found by Shiori again.
The data space wasn't very large, enough for Shiori to run back and forth countless times. Therefore, no matter where the Information Demon flashed to, Shiori could arrive in front of her in the next second!
For a time, the Magical Girls seemed to have the upper hand in their battle against the Information Demon.
Aurora, who was the first to suggest taking action, did not participate in the attack on the Information Demon.
One issue is that her speed is currently not as fast as Shiori's, and she can't catch up with the Information Demon. She also doesn't have any ranged attacks, so she can't perform ranged attacks like Luna or Reiko who has drawn her Weapon Card.
Therefore, we can only remain where we are for the time being.
The other one is...
Aurora felt something was off.
The Information Demon's strength is undoubtedly Middle Rank; she should have easily defeated these Magical Girls whose magic power is only at Lower Rank level. So why...?
Just as Aurora was thinking this, she suddenly caught a glimpse of an unusual red light out of the corner of her eye.
It was a light with a similar magical attribute to Shiori's, except that Shiori's was golden, while this light was red.
Within this red light, a vague human figure emerged.
The figure also wielded two swords and moved with such speed that it was impossible to react. The moment it appeared, it Speed Demon towards Kazama Reiko!
"!!"
Noticing this, Aurora instantly appeared beside Reiko, and before Reiko could react, her arm was already blocking Reiko's shoulder.
Clang!!
The twin swords, identical in style to Shiori's Magical Armament but different in color, landed on Aurora's arm guards, but were firmly blocked by Aurora.
The figure that attacked Reiko appeared in that instant. Reiko belatedly looked over, and when she saw the attacker's face, she couldn't help but gasp in surprise:
"Shi... Shiori?!"
"What is this?!"
Meanwhile, Tottori Shiori also let out a similar exclamation of shock as Reiko.
Following Shiori's gaze, behind the Information Demon stood a red phantom that looked almost exactly like Reiko.
Her magic was connected to that of Red Spirit Shiori, and the card reader in her hand was also emitting a light that represented 'Status Card'!
That red phantom even copied the Magical Girls' abilities!
And that's not all.
After the phantoms of Shiori and Reiko appeared, more phantoms of Magical Girls appeared one after another.
Except for Aurora and Luna, all the Magical Girls here have copies of the red phantom!
"Phew~ I barely made it. Honestly... it's not good to fight outnumbered, but it's almost enough now."
The Information Demon spoke to the crowd in a relaxed tone.
Then she snapped her fingers and said with a smile, "Let's begin the second round, shall we?"
Snap--
With a snap of the fingers, Aurora and Luna vanished along with the Information Demon.
Only the Magical Girls and their clones remained, staring at each other.
(I get it, the boss has entered the second phase, right?)
(So that's why she only hit people and didn't fight back earlier; it turns out she was doing it to create clones of Magical Girls...)
(This character is way too overpowered! Is this Information Demon even real??)
(Is it possible that everyone is fighting on someone else's home turf, which is why the Information Demon seems so powerful?)
(I don't care about any of that, I only have one question: where's Xiao Bai??)
(Yeah, why aren't Xiao Bai here Magical Girls??)
(Xiao Bai didn't know where the Information Demon's true form was, and the Magical Girls were in such a hurry that they didn't tell her, so it's normal that she didn't make it in time.)
(Perhaps Xiao Bai already knows and is on its way this way?)
(... Xiao Bai is still on his way. jpg)
The viewers in the live chat were hoping for Xiao Bai to reappear.
Unfortunately, Xiao Bai is still in the rest area far away from them, and when Kelly discovered the Information Demon, time was too tight, so she didn't have time to come back and find Xiao Bai.
From this perspective, the way Magical Girls enter the data world should be through some kind of mental ability.
It shouldn't be necessary for him to meet with Kelly in person.
Otherwise, if Luna, who is dozens of miles away, can go to the data space, there's no reason why she would hesitate to spend so much Kung Fu searching for Xiao Bai.
And right now, Xiao Bai should still be taking care of Nishino Hitomi, right?
As Fang Ming thought this, the scene on the Sky Screen changed, confirming his guess.
While the Magical Girls were engaged in their 'final battle' against the Information Demon, Xiao Bai was staring wide-eyed at Nishino Hitomi.
"I want to go!"
Having just become Magical Girls, and currently in her Magical Girls form, Nishino Hitomi said to Xiao Bai:
"I'm Magical Girls now! I can also become the power of Shiori and the others! If you're going to help them, you have to take me with you!"
Nishino Hitomi's voice was childish, but her tone was very firm.
Xiao Bai said helplessly to Nishino Hitomi, "The enemy they... are facing right now is definitely no match for us. If we go over there, we'll only cause them trouble."
"So you wanted to go just now!"
Nishino Hitomi brandished the 'Magical Armament' in her hand and pointed at Xiao Bai, shouting.
At this moment, Nishino Hitomi was wearing a pale yellow outfit, similar to that of a shrine maiden.
However, unlike ordinary shrine maiden outfits, her crimson hakama (traditional kimono) is more yellow and doesn't look like pants; it's closer to a skirt.
Her upper body was also more revealing, with her armpits exposed, making Xiao Bai constantly fantasize about some shameless witch.
She has many Magical Armament in her hands. One is the one that Nishino Hitomi is currently swinging around, which has many 'large coins' on it that look like strips of paper. In her other hand is the 'Kagura Bell'.
Nishino Hitomi now looked like a little witch, puffing out her chest and looking up at Xiao Bai.
Let's get back to the present.
Nishino Hitomi also knew that she shouldn't cause trouble for her older sisters.
But Xiao Bai clearly wanted to go over just now, yet now she's trying to use these words to make her stay, which is something Nishino Hitomi can't accept.
We all look about the same age, so why can you go over but I can't?
The little girl also has self-respect; she doesn't want others to look down on her.
Xiao Bai hesitated, unsure how to explain to Nishino Hitomi.
She couldn't very well say that she was actually a veteran Magical Girls who was just leveling up again after her level was reset, could she?
Um... it seems like saying that won't really make a difference...
Xiao Bai wasn't very good at interacting with children. She scratched her head, seemingly at a loss, when a familiar voice sounded from beside her:
"Because this girl is actually a very strong Magical Girls."
Stella, who had somehow crept over, bypassed the ordinary people sleeping on the ground and came to the two Magical Girls. She smiled and said to Nishino Hitomi:
"Don't let her appearance fool you; she's actually much older than you... a big sister~"
Stella paused strangely when she said "big," clearly indicating that she hadn't meant to say that word.
Xiao Bai was able to guess it, but he didn't have any objection to Stella.
She picked up where Stella left off, saying to Nishino Hitomi, "That's right, I'm actually a veteran."
After Xiao Bai finished speaking, he gave Stella a thumbs-up, indicating that she had done a great job.
Stella was stunned as she stared at the incredibly lively, agile, and adorable Xiao Bai.
This is so different from the Xiao Bai she remembers...

Volume 5 Side Story Magic Mystery Season 2: Chapter 554 The Despicable Stella
(Xiao Bai is so cute...!)
(Compared to its previous appearance, Xiao Bai looks so much cuter now, why is that?)
(Because it feels more alive, right?)
(God damn meow is alive)
(Isn't that right? The old Xiao Bai was sometimes cold and aloof. She was cute, but... she always gave off the feeling of being a pre-programmed doll.)
(Exquisite dolls, I understand!)
(So now, Xiao Bai is lively and agile, making her even cuter.)
Even though you're complimenting me, I really can't accept you constantly saying I'm cute!
Fang Ming thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."
Fang Ming used to feel a little uncomfortable when people called him cute. Now, although he's gotten used to being called cute by Magical Girls because he often transforms into Xiao Bai and Magical Creatures, Fang Ming still feels strange sometimes.
Frankly, calling a man 'cute' is completely inappropriate, isn't it?
Fang Ming isn't a boy or a girl!
However, on the other hand, Xiao Bai in the Sky Screen is indeed much more lively than before. This contrast, which is completely different from before, is perhaps the reason why the audience finds Xiao Bai cute.
After much persuasion, Nishino Hitomi was persuaded to stay and guard the unconscious person here.
Xiao Bai followed Stella, who had just arrived, and walked outside.
After leaving the rest area and reaching an open space, Stella said to Xiao Bai:
"You're really different now... than before."
"Really? What was I like before?"
"Hmm... When she's a boy, she's very gentle and mature, giving people a sense of reliability and reassurance, but her Magical Girls form is completely the opposite..."
Stella recalled what Xiao Bai used to look like and said to Xiao Bai, "Anyway, you're much cuter now than before."
"Um... thank you for the compliment...?" Xiao Bai scratched her cheek rather shyly before saying to Stella, "But I can't quite remember what I used to be like, cold and aloof... was that just a facade?"
"No, although your acting skills were very impressive back then, probably at the level of a professional actor, your attitude after the transformation wasn't fake."
"Perhaps it's because you're male? In any case, your emotions are indeed suppressed quite a bit after the transformation."
Stella searched through her memories related to Fang Ming and explained to Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai seemed thoughtful upon hearing this. After a while, Xiao Bai suddenly asked, "You sound like you know me quite well. I mean... the old me."
Of course I understand.
Stella looked at Xiao Bai with a slightly complicated expression.
There is probably no one in this world who understands Fang Ming better than her, after all, she has read Fang Ming's memories.
Although some memories were inexplicably impossible to see no matter what, even seeing some past memories was enough for Stella to gain a sufficient understanding of Fang Ming.
