Chapter 557

That's what Youyou thought.

In fact... at least in terms of the outcome, there wasn't much of a disturbance in the Eastern Ocean District. Although the matter of the Demons and Magical Girls could no longer be concealed, since everyone already knew about the existence of Magical Girls, this small problem ceased to be a problem.

The opportunity for Yu Muqiu to make contact with Aurora came a few days after the Information Demon incident.

Yu Muqiu received a call from Stella.

Stella asked Yu Muqiu for help.

Before Stella could explain why they needed Yu Muqiu's help, Yu Muqiu, who had just received the call, chuckled and asked:

"Sure, how can I help? Should I come over now?"

Stella paused for a moment, then said, "... Aren't you going to ask me what I need you for?"

"I believe you wouldn't do anything bad to us, Miss Stella."

"Why?"

"Because..." Yu Muqiu's gaze wavered slightly, as if someone's face had flashed before her eyes, before she answered:

"... Because Brother Fang Ming trusts you, so I trust you too. If there's anything you need my help with, just say so, and we... will help you."

Yu Muqiu paused slightly when he said "we," but Stella didn't notice the slight pause and replied in a light tone:

"I really can't do anything with you guys. I'll email you the details later, but let me make this clear: although I need your help this time, you can't intervene if necessary. Otherwise, you might just be wasting your time..."

"It's okay, just treat it as a trip," Yu Muqiu replied with a smile. "Anyway, we don't know where we're going for summer vacation."

"... Okay, see you in the Eastern Ocean District?"

"Okay, see you in the Eastern Ocean District."

(Oh! It's connected! It's connected to the spin-off!!)

(By the way, was Xiao Qiu more distant from Stella in the main story?)

(In the side story, it seems that Xiao Qiu directly calls Stella by her nickname...)

(This is probably to differentiate between the main story and the spin-offs; it's a minor issue and not important.)

(So, episode 0 is mainly about Xiao Qiu's trip to the Eastern Ocean District?)

(After all, it's to connect with the side stories.)

"..."

Seeing the plot unfolding on the screen and connecting it to the side stories, Fang Ming realized once again that Xiao Qiu might be following behind him.

He looked up and around again, but did not see any familiar figures.

In fact, after arriving in this world, Fang Ming had been trying to find Xiao Qiu, who was following him, because he believed that if it was indeed Xiao Qiu who sent him here in the future, then after meeting the 'same person' in this world, he might be able to establish a preliminary communication with Xiao Qiu through this 'same person'.

Unfortunately, Fang Ming was unaware of Xiao Qiu's presence.

Perhaps, given the current skill panel of Tsukinomiya Yuki, she would no longer be able to detect Yu Muqiu, who had deliberately hidden himself.

Of course, it's also possible that Yu Muqiu didn't choose to continue following him and had already gone home.

"What's going on? You're planning to go alone?"

Before heading to the Eastern Ocean District, Youyou looked at Yu Muqiu, who was about to leave, and asked in confusion, "Where Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun?"

"Them..." Yu Muqiu replied casually, "They have their own things to do, and... I don't think we need them. Didn't you say that the Aurora Society is just a 'minor player'? So I can handle it on my own."

"I did say that, that's true..."

Youyou was quite helpless.

For Xiao Qiu, the Aurora Society indeed a minor player. Having three Magical Girls from the Central Continent District act together felt like using a nuclear bomb to kill a mosquito.

But what Youyou cared about wasn't whether Yu Muqiu could defeat the Aurora Club; what she cared about was that Yu Muqiu and Xiaoxia and Xiaochun had separated.

"Hey, did you and they have a fight?"

Youyou asked in surprise, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen that silly cat in a long time. Who has that silly cat?"

"Xiao Chun is now in charge of taking care of Nino. After all, Xiao Chun's family is very strict. If she wants to go out at night to deal with the Demons, she needs Nino's help to cast illusion magic."

"... Ask that loser for help? What's wrong with Xiao Chun?"

"Don't say that about Nino. Nino's been working really hard lately."

Yu Muqiu recalled Nino's recent behavior, a smile playing on his lips. He muttered to himself, "And Nino hasn't changed at all, that's really great."

"That's not good! Xiao Qiu, are you alright? Nino is the only normal Magical Creatures. If this continues, I seriously doubt that Magical Creatures will end in this generation!"

Youyou was ranting and raving.

Nino said nothing had changed, but to put it bluntly, he was heartless!

As the only Magical Creatures, Youyou and Kelly always say that Nino is a loser and a useless guy, but they also have high expectations for Nino.

After all, among the Magical Creatures currently alive, Nino is the most normal.

Yes, in a physiological sense.

If the Magical Creatures are to continue to reproduce, Nino needs to find a way to revive the Magic Tree.

Regardless of whether Nino can actually do it, compared to other Magical Creatures that are either crippled or modified, Nino is the only one... Magical Creatures with a chance of doing this.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell Nino when I see her," Yu Muqiu said somewhat perfunctorily to Youyou, then got up to leave.

"Then I'll be off. I should be back soon. If anything happens, just call me and I'll be back as quickly as possible."

Yu Muqiu finished speaking quickly, then his body soared into the sky and flew towards the Eastern Ocean District.

As she watched the pink shooting star streak across the sky, the smile on Youyou's face gradually faded.

She sighed and muttered to herself:

"... So, you really did have a falling out with Xiaoxia and the others, didn't you?"

Having a tiff... perhaps that's not the best way to put it.

Yu Muqiu had actually approached Chen Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun, but she didn't mention the Aurora Society. She simply asked if they wanted to go to the Eastern Ocean District with her.

But--

"I'm sorry, Xiao Qiu, we're in third grade now, and we'll be moving up to the next grade soon. I need to go to my dad's colleague's place for lessons, so..."

Wearing sportswear, Chen Xiaoxia said apologetically to Yu Muqiu.

Yu Muqiu shook his head, his smile unchanged, "It's okay, studying is important. After all Xiaoxia, your dream is to become the world's number one female detective, right? Good luck!"

"Yes! I'm sure I can become the world's number one female detective! Go for it!!"

Chen Xiaoxia cheered herself up loudly, and then continued to exercise with great enthusiasm.

"Going to the Eastern Ocean District for tourism? Why?"

At Xiao Chun's house, Xiao Chun, who was doing her homework, asked without looking up after hearing Yu Muqiu's invitation.

Sitting on Xiao Chun's big bed, Yu Muqiu carefully chose his words:

"We were just thinking that we've been so busy for so long, and now that it's summer vacation, we should go out and relax a bit..."

"There's no need for that," Xiao Chun said calmly. "I think you haven't forgotten, the Demons are coming soon. Going on a leisurely stroll... that would be a waste of time."

"But..."

"... If you want to go, you can go yourself," Xiao Chun said again. "I... I'll go to training after I finish my summer homework."

Xiao Chun spoke these words in a completely flat voice, appearing very calm.

However, Xiao Qiu noticed that the pen in Xiao Chun's hand was almost deformed from being squeezed so tightly.

He hesitated several times, wanting to say something to Xiao Chun.

But Xiao Qiu ultimately chose to back down.

"Okay, then... I'll go alone."

Watching Xiao Chun's retreating figure, Xiao Qiu said softly.

(Wow! This is so upsetting, everyone seems to have become so indifferent!)

(It's not indifference, it's just that I don't want to think about those sad things, right?)

(Xiaoxia seems to be alright, but Xiao Chun... is she really okay?)

(She seems to be fine...)

(But that's the biggest problem! Didn't you see how she almost crushed her pen when she mentioned the Demons?)

(Sigh... Xiao Chun... Sigh...)

"Xiao Chun... are you alright?"

Chen Xiaoxia looked at Xiao Chun with concern.

Xiaoxia was met with a huge eye roll from Xiao Chun: "You're the one who's in trouble! Are you sure you're okay? I'm not the Xiao Chun in the Sky Screen, how would I know if the Xiaochun in the Sky Screen is alright!"

"Ah, you're right."

Chen Xiaoxia suddenly realized, but then asked, "However, if something really happens to Brother Fang Ming, what will you become... um!"

Before Xiaoxia could finish speaking, Xiao Chun viciously covered Xiaoxia mouth with her hand and said harshly:

"Stop saying that! Brother Fang Ming will be alright! Absolutely!"

"Waaaaah--!"

"... Xiao Chun, if you keep covering her up like this, you're going to suffocate Xiaoxia," Aurora complained from the side.

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and pretended to faint.

Xiaoxia was very convincing; it seemed she had honed her acting skills considerably during this period. But unfortunately... she was Magical Girls with near- Upper Rank strength. Given her ability to survive even in a vacuum, her disguise at this moment was so fake that it was unbearable to watch.

Xiao Chun wasn't stupid. Seeing Xiaoxia trying to extort money from her, she immediately grabbed a nearby cushion and shoved it hard into Xiaoxia's face.

"Since we're already dead, let's die a thorough death!"

"Waaaaah!!!"

Xiaoxia began to struggle frantically.

The Magical Girls beneath the Sky Screen maintained their harmonious relationship as always, growing ever closer together in both the Central Continent District and the Americas District.

In contrast, the trio in the Sky Screen seemed to be falling apart, making one worry about their future.

Xiao Qiu, however, simply watched the scene unfolding in the Sky Screen with curiosity, seemingly not very worried about it.

Stella stole a glance at Xiao Qiu, lost in thought.

[The flashback ended, and Xiao Qiu in the sky couldn't help but sigh.]

But after sighing, Xiao Qiu started laughing to herself again:

"Heh, I think I've sighed more times lately than in all of the previous time combined."

Everyone else got busy, but Xiao Qiu seemed to be the only one who had nothing to do.

But Xiao Qiu knew very well that the reason everyone was busy might not be because they were really that busy; they might just be using these excuses to deliberately avoid certain things.

Leaving aside the distant dangers, the closest danger to Xiao Qiu and her companions is the imminent arrival of the Demon Army.

Pillar Rank Demons has disappeared here. Even with the barrier set up by the Witch Lesos, the Demons will definitely be able to sense that something is wrong.

Xiao Qiu and her friends didn't have much time left to be safe.

Under such immense pressure, it's perfectly normal for people to want to do something else to distract themselves.

"Why didn't I feel this pressure before?"

Yu Muqiu asked himself softly.

But the answer immediately came out, "Yes, there used to be Xiao Bai..."

There's Xiao Bai dog in front.

I don't know when it started, but Xiao Bai has given people the impression that he is omnipotent.
