Chapter 558
She appears at crucial moments, bringing new confidence and hope to the Magical Girls when facing powerful enemies.
No matter what danger they face, Xiao Bai will always be the first to stand in front of everyone.
Yu Muqiu always said that she didn't want Xiao Bai to bear all of this alone; she wanted to fight alongside Xiao Bai.
But... every time, Yu Muqiu was being taken care of by Xiao Bai.
From the initial encounter with the Songstress Demon, to the later Demon Nicole, and finally... that extremely powerful Pillar-Tier Demon...
Every single time... every single time, Yu Muqiu received help from Xiao Bai.
The same applies to everyone.
After learning that Xiao Bai was Fang Ming's brother, everyone realized that they had all been protected by Xiao Bai and Fang Ming's brother all along.
But now, that protection... is gone.
Snap!
Suddenly, Yu Muqiu slapped her cheeks with both hands, took a deep breath, and rallied herself, saying:
"Phew! I can't let my mind wander! Let's get going! Little Bear is still waiting for me!"
As she finished speaking, the pink light surrounding her intensified.
The pink shooting star representing Yu Muqiu quickly disappeared into the sky under the acceleration of magic.
"... So why are you the only one here?"
When Stella met Yu Muqiu at the agreed location, the first question she asked was almost identical to Youyou's.
Yu Muqiu was a little discouraged, and she said helplessly:
"Everyone's busy, so it's just me, and I'm all I need, right? Or is it that the Aurora Society can create Demons comparable to Pillar Rank?"
"..."
Stella was speechless.
The Aurora Society n't have that kind of power. If it did, the world would probably be in chaos by now.
But...
Stella looked at Yu Muqiu, who still seemed carefree, with a complicated expression.
Since Yu Muqiu directly used the metaphor of a 'Pillar Rank' Demons, it means she is confident that she can face Pillar Rank Demons, right?
That's terrifying... She's only been Magical Girls for a little over two years.
Letting out a breath, Stella stopped dwelling on why Yu Muqiu was alone at the moment and got straight to the point:
"Aurora and the others are already planning to leave. Just follow behind them. Otherwise..."
Stella seemed to have thought of something; she hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.
"... Never mind, I'll have to ask you for help this time."
"Is there something you wanted to tell me?" Yu Muqiu keenly noticed the hesitation in Stella's words and immediately asked.
Stella shook her head. "It's nothing important. Later... I'll tell you if I've confirmed it... Hmm?"
Buzz--
Stella had barely finished speaking when her phone suddenly rang.
Stella's expression changed drastically upon glancing at the name displayed on the screen. She suddenly clutched the phone to her chest, preventing Xiao Qiu from seeing the caller's name.
Then he hurriedly got up and left, saying to Xiao Qiu:
"I've told you everything I needed to say. I have some things to take care of, so I won't stay any longer... See you later!"
After saying that, Stella's figure quickly disappeared from Xiao Qiu's sight.
(Haha, I can probably guess what the Little Bear went to do.)
(Based on the timeline, this should be the time when Xiao Xue and Little Bear secretly followed them...)
(And then Xiao Qiu found out!)
(Great! It's connected, everything's connected!)
(Tsk tsk tsk, the depressing scene just now suddenly became much more cheerful when it came to Little Bear. Why is that?)
"Yes, why is that?" Xiao Chun, holding a fruit knife, leaned closer to Stella and asked with a sidelong glance, "Ms. Stella, do you have any clue?"
"... Miss Murong, I want to reiterate once again, I truly have absolutely no feelings for Fang Ming!! Really... really!!"
"Liar!!! There's no one who doesn't like Fang Ming!!"
"... I do like him, but not..."
"See? You admit you like it!!"
Stella: "?"
Fine, fine, so neither liking nor disliking is acceptable, huh? Then why don't you just kill me already!
Stella really wanted to fight Xiao Chun.
But comparing her own strength with Xiao Chun's, Stella readily abandoned that idea and turned to look at Xiao Qiu:
"Xiao Qiu... save me!"
"Hmm? But you do like Brother Fang Ming, don't you?"
Xiao Qiu subconsciously asked back.
Stella: "!!?"
Oh no, I'm doomed!
Xiao Chun's smile suddenly brightened, and she rushed towards Stella with a fruit knife in hand:
"Death penalty!!!"
Xiao Chun and Stella started playfully fighting.
Aurora walked over to Xiao Qiu, speechless, and asked, "Xiao Qiu, you didn't do that on purpose, did you?"
"Huh? What?" Xiao Qiu looked at Aurora blankly. "I wasn't wrong just now, the Little Bear in the Sky Screen really does like Brother Fang Ming..."
"... You know that's Stella from the Sky Screen!"
"Ah... oh... right."
Xiao Qiu belatedly clapped her hands, revealing an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, I think I got it a little mixed up, hehe~"

Volume 6 <Magic Autumn> Season 4: Chapter 598 A Sudden Bright Ending
Aurora didn't pay much attention to Xiao Qiu's changes; Xiao Qiu had made similar occasional blunders before.
It would be more accurate to say that what Xiao Qiu did was normal.
Only...
Aurora turned to look at Stella, who was about to be beaten to death by Xiao Chun, and sighed.
She had to try and mediate the fight to prevent Stella from actually 'dying' at Xiao Chun's hands.
Xiao Qiu didn't know what Stella was going to do, nor did she follow Stella out of curiosity.
She simply went up into the sky on the day she had arranged to meet Stella, to observe Aurora and the Magical Girls of the Eastern Ocean District.
Pink starlight hung in the sky, hidden beneath the clouds, making it quite inconspicuous. Yu Muqiu stood in the middle of the clouds, watching the actions of the Magical Girls from the Eastern Ocean District.
"The number of companions has increased... One, two, three, four... There are four people now? That's great."
Seeing that the Magical Girls in the Eastern Ocean District were full of energy and had a strong sense of purpose, Yu Muqiu couldn't help but feel happy.
The more Magical Girls there are, the safer the world will be.
In this way, even if something unexpected happens to these Magical Girls from the Central Continent District while they are fighting the Demons, this world will...
"No, no, we can't think about such discouraging things... We can definitely defeat the Demons, we definitely can..."
Several black-and-white images flashed through his mind, Xiao Bai's smile before disappearing deeply pierced Yu Muqiu's heart.
Her breathing was slightly rapid, but she quickly calmed it down.
Her gaze hardened again, her expression became extremely serious, and she muttered to herself:
"... I can definitely defeat the Demons, even if it costs me my life!"
After saying that, Xiao Qiu chuckled helplessly to herself, "...'Risking one's life' and all that, if Brother Fang Ming heard that, he'd definitely be angry..."
Xiao Qiu took a deep breath and stopped thinking about these things.
She continued to watch the Magical Girls' actions, seeing them find the entrance to the Aurora Society and enter its interior.
Under the influence of the Magic Network, the actions of the Magical Girls in the Eastern Ocean District were almost completely transparent to Yu Muqiu.
Of course, Xiao Qiu also met the person who looked almost exactly like Xiao Bai.
Elena.
"!!!"
The air in the sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds piled up over Antarctica, as if something was about to descend.
Xiao Qiu's expression was terrifying; perhaps even she herself didn't realize that her expression had become incredibly frightening.
She's terrifying beyond belief for a Magical Girls.
Yu Muqiu was clearly very angry.
Aurora's feelings upon seeing Xiao Bai's clone were now mirrored in Yu Muqiu's.
But while Xiao Qiu was angry, she also felt a bit more pity for Elena.
What a pitiful child, transformed by the Aurora Society, forced to have an appearance that wasn't his own, and even had his mind warped by Avery.
But pitying her was not a reason for her to insult Xiao Bai's image. At that time, Yu Muqiu really intended to take action himself and completely purify the 'Demons' named Elena.
However, Yu Muqiu ultimately failed to make a move.
Because she saw someone, someone who shouldn't have been there.
A young girl with silver hair secretly ran over with Stella. When Xiao Qiu saw the girl's appearance, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
Tears welled up at her chin, then dripped from the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
Only when he saw the young silver-haired girl enter the Aurora Society's base with Stella did Yu Muqiu descend from the sky, landing beside the gap, his voice trembling as he muttered to himself:
"That's... Xiao Bai? You're kidding... That really is..."
Tears streamed down her face. Yu Muqiu covered her mouth and followed closely behind Young Xiao Bai and Stella.
Her intuition told her that she hadn't mistaken the person; the young girl who looked almost exactly like Xiao Bai was the one she missed day and night.
But Yu Muqiu's rationality told her otherwise.
That's impossible.
Xiao Bai... Fang Ming is dead. She was killed by herself, by her own hands...
He watched her disappear before his eyes, and the sense of powerlessness and despair he felt for the world were still unforgettable for Yu Muqiu.
She couldn't possibly be here, it couldn't be... that's impossible...
But the truth is, Xiao Bai really did appear in front of her and began fighting alongside Aurora and the others.
Yu Muqiu observed the entire process.
She didn't want to believe that the child who looked so much like Xiao Bai was Xiao Bai, but Aurora's reaction, Stella's attitude towards the child, and the occasional aura that the child displayed—an aura that only appeared in Fang Ming —all proved one thing.
This child is Xiao Bai.
Furthermore, her true form is also a boy, a boy who looks extremely similar to Fang Ming when he was a child...
Fang Ming is the only boy in the world who can transform into Magical Girls.
Therefore, Xiao Qiu was almost certain that the child... was Fang Ming, the brother who had lost his memory!
The colors in the Sky Screen suddenly intensified at that moment, sweeping away the previously oppressive and uncomfortable atmosphere.
