Chapter 522
She released Tsukinomiya Yuki, went to the door, and looked through the video doorbell outside:
"Who is it? Um... Reiko?"
Ayaka was initially somewhat dissatisfied, immediately deflated upon seeing a familiar face at the door. She sighed, opened the door, and said to the person outside:
"Reiko, what are you doing here...? Huh? Why is everyone here?"
After opening the door, Ayaka realized that Reiko wasn't the only one who had come to visit.
All the Magical Girls from the Eastern Ocean District, along with Aurora and Luna, were waiting outside the door.
Aurora saw that the Tsukinomiya Ayaka opened the door and immediately asked Ayaka:
"Tsukinomiya, where is Xiao Xue? I need to see him!"
The fact that Tsukinomiya Yuki had turned into Xiao Bai had excited Aurora for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that she had to help Kelly find the Aurora Society these past few days...
Aurora probably arrived the day after the incident ended.
Aurora's eagerness was noticed by Ayaka.
Looking at the 'senior' who seemed to have special feelings for Tsukinomiya Yuki, Tsukinomiya Ayaka's eyes couldn't help but show a bit more wariness.
She almost forgot that compared to Tsukinomiya Yuki becoming Magical Girls...
We should actually be more wary of Aurora!
Under Tsukinomiya Ayaka's watchful gaze, the scene freezes, and the opening sequence begins!
(Oh wow, Aurora's here!)
(Aurora didn't even bring Stella!)
(I can't believe how funny this is. Ayaka thought the reason Xiao Xue would 'go to a faraway place in the future' was to become Magical Girls and fight, but well...)
(It will be stolen away by a bad woman www)
(Is Little Red not a bad woman?)
(Metaphor, metaphor!)
"... It's okay, it has nothing to do with me anyway."
Seeing the lively discussion in the comments section, Ayaka muttered to herself with a touch of sadness.
Anyway, in reality she's not Tsukinomiya Yuki... no, Fang Ming's older sister, so there's no need to consider such a problem at all!
But even though I say that, I still feel a little sad. What should I do?
It seems that Ayaka has lost a lovely younger brother forever.
[OP ends.]
Everyone gathered again in Ayaka's room.
Ayaka's room became lively again, except for the absence of Tsukinomiya Yuki.
Aurora really wanted to talk to Tsukinomiya Yuki alone, but each time she was stopped by Ayaka.
Either Tsukinomiya Yuki doing her homework, or she's going out to play with her friends; whatever the reason, Ayaka won't let Aurora and Tsukinomiya Yuki meet alone.
Even when we meet, Ayaka must be by my side!
Aurora, belatedly realizing Ayaka's thoughts, finally came to her senses. Before the Magical Girls began discussing serious matters, Aurora quietly Telepathy to Ayaka:
"Hey, Tsukinomiya, you should know me, right? Xiao Xue is someone I used to know!"
"I know, but... I don't care who he was before, Xiao Xue is Xiao Xue now, and you're not allowed to lay a hand on him until Xiao Xue regains his memories! He's only eleven years old!"
Tsukinomiya Ayaka Saika protected Tsukinomiya Yuki like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and there was no way she would let Aurora, that 'weasel,' steal her away.
Aurora's face fell in displeasure.
"Xiao Xue was an adult before! So it's no problem!"
"... So you really want to hurt him! No means no! He's only eleven years old!"
Ayaka spoke again.
Regardless of how old Tsukinomiya Yuki was before, now, both the Federation citizen file and the bone age test result indicate that she is within the range of eleven or twelve years old.
Therefore, Tsukinomiya Ayaka would never allow her cute, innocent, and close younger brother to be taken away by these bad women!
"You...! Don't be so selfish! Don't you want Xiao Xue to regain her memories and reunite with her family?"
"Family?"
Mentioning this, Tsukinomiya Ayaka she looked indifferently at Aurora:
"You mean those loved ones who needed his past self to protect, sacrifice, and give everything... including his own life?"
"..."
"If that's really what you think, then I can't let Xiao Xue go back with you. He's already sacrificed so much. Do you really want him to regain his memory and continue to give everything for you?"
Tsukinomiya Ayaka excitement.
Although they were speaking Telepathy, the tension between the two drew the attention of the Magical Girls in the room.
Seeing the two staring at each other, Reiko tilted her head and asked:
"Aurora -senpai? Ayaka- chan? Are you... alright?"
"It's alright!" ×2
"Ayaka and Aurora shouted in unison."
The two looked at each other one last time before looking away.
They tacitly agreed not to bring it up again and found a place to sit in the room.
Aurora remained silent for a moment before slowly inhaling and addressing the crowd:
"... Alright, let's get down to business."
"Regarding the Aurora Society... we have located their main base..."
Volume 5 Side Story <Magic Mystery> Season 2: Chapter 561 Tsukinomiya Yuki's Thoughts
[In Tsukinomiya Yuki's room, which is separated from the Magical Girls by only one wall.]
Tsukinomiya Yuki sat leaning against the wall on the bed, eavesdropping on the Magical Girls' conversation.
Tsukinomiya Yuki actually overheard the conversation between Ayaka and Aurora.
Although it was unbelievable, Tsukinomiya Yuki definitely heard the conversation the two had made using magical Telepathy.
He seems to have a natural talent for Telepathy, especially for eavesdropping, as if he used to do it often...
Cough cough.
In short, Tsukinomiya Yuki heard Ayaka's protective words and also heard Aurora's intention to "take action against her."
The fact that she used to be so popular made Tsukinomiya Yuki feel both quite proud and helpless.
Actually, Tsukinomiya Yuki didn't care much about what happened in the past.
He has accepted his current life and his new family.
It doesn't seem so bad to just keep living like this.
And as Ayaka said, if he regains his memories and his past, wouldn't he have to go back and continue to give and sacrifice for people he doesn't know now?
But... that's what they say.
Tsukinomiya Yuki, however, felt that if there really was a group of people whom she had desperately protected before she lost her memories, then it meant that she must care about these people very much.
Just like how Tsukinomiya Yuki cares about Ayaka and Sanae at this moment.
Tsukinomiya Yuki really wanted to know what kind of people these were who she cared about, and what stories had happened between her and them.
Not the stories Aurora told him.
It's more about the everyday moments that Aurora never mentioned, moments that were intentionally or unintentionally overlooked.
That must be a wonderful everyday life.
But Tsukinomiya Yuki didn't want to let Ayaka either...
Buzz--
The phone suddenly vibrated, and before Tsukinomiya Yuki could pick it up, a small virtual figure jumped out from the screen.
She had a pair of antlers and wore a pure white robe, like a forest elf, as she hopped in front of Tsukinomiya Yuki.
"You are... Ah, Miss Kelly, right...?"
Tsukinomiya Yuki recognized the other person as Aurora's close partner.
He hadn't met Kelly much, but through Aurora, Tsukinomiya Yuki knew of Kelly's existence.
Kelly nodded to Tsukinomiya Yuki, giving her a polite greeting, and then Tsukinomiya Yuki and asked:
"Sorry, did I bother you?"
"No." Tsukinomiya Yuki shook her head and looked at Kelly: "Miss Kelly... is there something you need?"
"Yes, there are indeed some things."
Kelly nodded slightly, then looked up at Tsukinomiya Yuki and asked, "I'd like to know, what do you think of Aurora?"
"Miss Aurora...?"
Tsukinomiya Yuki was taken aback by Kelly's question, and then he fell into deep thought.
(Actually... it's not bad for my cousin to stay here.)
(What's so good about it? Xiao Qiu and the others are still heartbroken, okay?)
(No, more than a year has passed in the Sky Screen. Xiao Qiu and the others have probably moved on by now. Although they would definitely be happy if their cousin went back at this time, can you guarantee that their cousin, who has regained his memories, won't sacrifice himself again?)
(Oh dear...)
(Rather than having my cousin sacrifice himself again and Xiao Qiu and the others be heartbroken again, it's better to maintain the status quo...)
(So, is it definitely safe in the Eastern Ocean District? Tsukinomiya Yuki is Fang Ming. Although he has lost his memory, his thoughts and personality seem to be exactly the same, and his spirit of sacrifice is also the same.)
(That means Tsukinomiya Yuki will probably give up everything for Ayaka someday... just like my cousin did for Xiao Qiu and the others...)
"Brother Fang Ming..."
Yu Muqiu called out softly.
She unconsciously began to ponder, considering whether it would be better for Tsukinomiya Yuki on the Sky Screen to stay in the Eastern Ocean District or go back.
From a personal perspective, Yu Muqiu wanted Fang Ming to go back.
Because Yu Muqiu doesn't like anyone leaving her side, she prefers everyone to be together, in a happy and harmonious ending.
The ending, with one person missing, is clearly unhappy.
But the comments weren't wrong either. Even if Tsukinomiya Yuki were to stay in the Eastern Ocean District, he might do the same thing as Fang Ming in the future.
This time, it was for his family, Tsukinomiya Ayaka and Tsukinomiya Sanae.
Ultimately, Fang Ming is a very responsible person. He considers it his responsibility to take care of his juniors and his family.
He will do everything in his power to fulfill his responsibilities.
Even if it costs them their lives.
Of course, Fang Ming himself may not think so, but in the eyes of others, that is who he is.
Therefore, Yu Muqiu was unsure which side was better at that moment.
All of this may ultimately depend on the choices made by the individuals involved.
"Um... he's... a very good person?"
Because she didn't know much about Aurora, Tsukinomiya Yuki could only give Aurora a 'friend card' for now.
Kelly was speechless upon hearing this, and she said:
"You should know that Aurora likes you, right?"
"I know, but... she likes the old me, she might not like the me now."
Tsukinomiya Yuki laughed and said, "Besides, I'm really too young right now to be thinking about these things."
