Chapter 525
"Of course." Kelly's illusory figure stood on the phone and nodded to Aurora, "Magical Girls can encounter all sorts of situations in future battles. It's not a bad thing to let these kids hone their skills before the Demon Army officially attacks."
Lien, who was usually quiet, nodded in agreement with Kelly's words.
"Ms. Kelly is right. All those powerful Magical Girls in the past had gone through countless hardships before becoming leaders among Magical Girls. Constantly hiding... is not a good thing..."
"But their overall combat strength is only at Lower Rank!"
Auro scratched her head in frustration. "The Aurora Society even managed to get information from Middle Rank- level Information Demon. Who knows what other trump cards they might be hiding? What if..."
"We won't cause any trouble for Senior Aurora!"
Kazama Reiko suddenly exclaimed, "We... we will protect ourselves, and if anything really happens, we will absolutely not blame Aurora- senpai! So--"
"It's ready!"
Aurora interrupted Kazama Reiko.
She spoke louder, drowning out Reiko's voice.
Then she slammed her hand on the table and made her decision:
"... The location of the Aurora Society has not been completely pinpointed yet. You have plenty of time to consider whether you want to come with me before the Aurora Society is confirmed."
"That's all for today! Meeting adjourned!"
After Aurora finished speaking, she turned and left the room without waiting for the Magical Girls' response.
After she left, the Magical Girls all fell silent, exchanging bewildered glances.
(Wow, Magical Girls from the Eastern Ocean District, don't go and cause trouble!)
(It's hard to say. Although they seem like they're just there to cause trouble, they're still the main characters of the spin-off, so they shouldn't get into any trouble, right?)
(That's how it is from God's perspective, but from Aurora's perspective, she'd probably be furious www)
(Why didn't Little Red and the others just go and call Xiao Qiu?)
(If we send Xiao Qiu, wouldn't the Aurora Society be completely overshadowed? What would we even watch then?)
(That's what I say... but it seems like it would be safer to have Xiao Qiu and the others come and help, right?)
(I'm not sure, maybe Little Red thinks this is their own business?)
(The Aurora Society has already brought such a huge disaster to the world; this is no longer just their own problem...)
In the end, Sky Screen Aurora did not choose to inform Yu Muqiu and the others.
This is indeed very strange.
If Yu Muqiu were in charge, or even if it wasn't Yu Muqiu, Xiaoxia or Xiao Chun could probably easily take down the Aurora Society.
Even if we don't let them take action, surely we can have them watch from the sidelines and prepare a backup plan?
I don't know what Aurora is thinking, she seems to have no such thoughts at all.
Do you think that handling such a 'trivial' matter Aurora Society doesn't require calling Yu Muqiu and the others?
Or... were they actually notified, but it wasn't shown in the plot?
"... It couldn't be that the scriptwriters outside changed the plot without my permission, could it?"
Fang Ming suddenly realized this.
If Yu Muqiu and others were really to appear and deal with the Aurora Society, then this side story would truly be anticlimactic.
Unless they arrange for an enemy within the Aurora Society that requires Yu Muqiu and her group to appear to deal with, they can only succeed.
However, if such a powerful enemy were to actually appear, the identity of the protagonist in the Aurora spin-off would be somewhat questionable.
Therefore, it's not entirely unreasonable that the spin-off writers omitted some logical details in order to make the plot seem more impactful.
But Record Bear such a thing to happen?
Fang Ming didn't know.
He can't chat with the Record Bear anymore.
So he could only continue watching to see how Aurora in the Sky Screen would handle the situation.
Aurora temporarily left the room and went to the rooftop of Ayaka's residence. She leaned on the railing, looking down at the city, her delicate brows furrowed tightly.
She didn't really want the Magical Girls from the Eastern Ocean District to come with her.
One very important reason is, as I just mentioned, that the Magical Girls in the Eastern Ocean District are too weak.
Another point is that Aurora felt that the Aurora Society's affairs were her own business.
"I need to... avenge that old man..."
Aurora murmured to herself.
Although Fang Ming's sacrifice was due to the Pillar Rank Demons, the reason why Fang Ming's Xiao Bai appearance gradually led him into the Abyss was entirely due to his experiences in the Americas District.
Already not fully recovered from her injuries, she pushed her body to its limits for the sake of Aurora and to fight the Aurora Society, until it reached a point of no return.
From this perspective, the Aurora Society is undoubtedly Aurora's enemy.

Aurora even felt that the person who ultimately led Fang Ming to sacrifice himself was probably herself.
After all, Fang Ming used his magic for her sake.
Therefore, no matter what, she has to eliminate the Aurora Society herself, which is why Aurora doesn't plan to call Yu Muqiu and the others for this matter.
This is her battle.
"How childish."
The Witch's voice suddenly appeared in my ear.
Stella appeared beside Aurora like a ghost.
Before this, Aurora hadn't even noticed her presence.
However, perhaps she was already used to Stella's elusive nature, because upon seeing Stella, Aurora simply rolled her eyes at her and said irritably:
What are you saying over there?!
"What else could it be? I mean, your thoughts."
"Tsk, you rascal, you weren't spying on my thoughts, were you?"
Aurora looked disgusted.
Just as she was about to lash out, Stella glared at her and said:
"Don't think of me as something so despicable. I'm not the kind of person who would casually try to read other people's minds. Besides, you're stronger than me now, so I can't possibly read your thoughts."
After she finished speaking, she immediately pointed at Aurora and said, "Although I can't read your thoughts, I can still sense your emotions. Plus, I know a little bit about psychology, so I can tell..."
"You're probably thinking about avenging Fang Ming, which is why you don't plan to bring anyone else along, right?"
"..."
Aurora remained silent, Stella spoke again, "Looks like I guessed right?"
"This has nothing to do with you."
Having her secret exposed, Aurora turned away from the bear-eared Witch beside her and looked down at the city again.
The Witch sighed, took two steps forward, and stood beside Aurora, leaning against the railing at the edge of the rooftop. She spoke to Aurora, saying:
"How could it be unrelated? Don't forget, I'm also a victim of the Aurora Society. You can't abandon me when it comes to dealing with the Aurora Society."
"Of course I know, not just you, but also Lien who's with Luna, so... that's why I brought you along. But Aurora Society has nothing to do with Kazama and the others, so... that's why I don't plan to bring them along."
"Honestly, you're lying again."
Stella sighed, "Can't you be a little more honest with other people?"
Hearing Stella's indifferent tone, Aurora inexplicably became angry, and she said in a self-deprecating tone:
"... Alright, alright! I wanted to avenge the old man, and I wanted to settle things with the Aurora Society myself, which is why I wasn't planning on bringing anyone with me! Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Aurora shouted.
After a while, she realized that she had become a little emotional.
Just as she was worrying that her voice might be heard by the Magical Girls downstairs, she caught a glimpse of the barrier Stella had set up out of the corner of her eye, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Stella the Witch observed Aurora's reaction.
She chuckled, but not mockingly; instead, she nodded in agreement with Aurora.
"I'm satisfied, and besides, it's not like I can't understand your thoughts."
"...?"
"At least in wanting to avenge Fang Ming, we should be the same."
Stella said softly.
But before Aurora could speak, she immediately said to Aurora:
"While I can understand you, it doesn't mean I'll agree with your ideas. Going alone... even with Luna and me along, and recklessly charging towards the Aurora Society revenge is utterly reckless."
"If you really want the Aurora Society destroyed and to avenge Fang Ming, then at the very least... you should ensure that no one from the Aurora Society escapes!"
"So? What are you trying to say?"
"Let's go find Yu Muqiu." Stella turned to meet the red-haired girl's gaze and offered her opinion. "Go find the Magical Girls of the Central Continent District. Even if you don't want them to get involved, you should at least let them know about this."
"They..." Aurora looked down at the ground, appearing hesitant.
Stella stepped forward, and said to Aurora in a coercive manner:
"Do you want something to happen to you, or to Luna, and then make Fang Ming sad and heartbroken when he regains his memories?"
"Don't say anything stupid like you won't get into trouble! If Fang Ming were here... he would definitely make thorough preparations before going after the Aurora Society!"
"Instead of acting like you, rushing in without thinking, like a reckless fool!"
"..."
Aurora fell completely silent.
She kept her head down, her hair obscuring her face, making it impossible for others to see her expression.
Stella's words triggered a flood of memories of her time with Fang Ming, which Aurora recalled.
Overwhelmed by her emotions, Aurora desperately wanted to storm into the Aurora Society alone right now and settle the score with them.
But when she thought of Stella's words and imagined Fang Ming's reaction, Aurora couldn't say anything.
Stella was right. Aurora's life now is no longer just about herself.
It concerns everyone in the world.
If something were to happen to Aurora during this time, resulting in the loss of a key figure in the fight against the Demons, that would be a disaster for the world!
Compared to that, the Aurora Society is nothing.
Therefore, no matter what, Aurora must at least ensure that she herself remains completely safe.
(Thankfully, Stella is still rational.)
(Oh, I see. It was Little Red's chuunibyou acting up www)
(Chuunibyou... Pfft, you know what, it actually fits quite well)
(Anyway, with Stella's persuasion, this should be a sure thing. Will we see characters from the main story in the spin-off?)
(Strictly speaking, Xiao Bai and Aurora are actually main characters in the story...)
(Damn, because he appeared in the main series, right? www)
"What about chuunibyou...?"
Xiao Chun gave Aurora a meaningful look.
Aurora's face was as red as her hair, but even so, Aurora continued to defend herself:
"My... my thinking isn't wrong, at least... at least Xiao Qiu and the others must be very busy right now, so going to call them or something..."
In the end, Aurora herself couldn't explain anymore, so she simply changed the subject:
"Speaking of which, Stella hasn't been found yet, is it really appropriate for you to mock me like this!"
