Epilogue and Review / Season Two Arrives Right on Schedule!

Youyou at her like this, Youyou couldn't help but ask:

"Aren't you going to undo the transformation?"

Without even looking up, Xiao Bai said, "I told you, I'll be watching you guys until the second season ends."

What if it suddenly transforms and runs away?

"... How cautious."

Youyou complained helplessly.

She had indeed considered taking advantage of the opportunity before Fang Ming transformed to escape with Dongdong, but she didn't expect Xiao Bai to not even let go of this last path.

That's good now.

Originally, it was supposed to be them who kidnapped Fang Ming, but now it's Fang Ming who kidnapped them.

The hostages' positions were changed, and they had no chance of escape.

This made Youyou feel a little regretful; perhaps kidnapping Fang Ming was a mistake from the very beginning.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Epilogue and Evaluation

The first season is coming to an end.

The website also received a major update to the Magical Girls' profiles.

Fang Ming, still maintaining his Xiao Bai appearance, glanced at the updated information on the website before going to sleep. He discovered that the main characters in "Magical Girl Xiao Qiu" had their character introductions omitted details like "did XX in episode X" and were instead described directly according to the events they were involved in.

For example, Xiao Bai's own information.

[Name: Xiao Bai (tentative)]

Character introduction:

Characters appearing in <Magical Girl Xiao Qiu>.

The first one to appear was not Magical Girls signed by Nino. When she first appeared, she seemed to be Xiao Qiu's rival and seemed to dislike Xiao Qiu becoming Magical Girls.

But upon closer inspection, it was discovered that she simply didn't want Xiao Qiu and the others to be in danger; she was a complete 'tsundere'.

During the Speed Demon incident, he saved Xiao Qiu and the others' lives with his overwhelming power.

When the Fish Monster Demon first appeared later, Fish Monster Demon alongside Xiao Chun against it, but the Fish Monster Demon eventually escaped, and Koharu herself disappeared without a trace.

When she reappeared, she happened to encounter Xiao Qiu, who was also there to deal with the Nightmare Seed. She told Xiao Qiu that "you are a burden" and dealt with the Nightmare Seed alone.

She then fought against Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia, overwhelming them with her superior strength, and warned them again not to get involved in dangerous things. (Editor's note: She clearly cares about them, but she insists on saying it this way. The nickname 'Tsundere Girl' is really fitting.)

I ran into Xiao Qiu at the aquarium and had a conversation with Xiao Qiu. Just as I was about to leave, I was caught in the barrier set up by the fish Fish Monster Demon had to fight it together with Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia.

During this time, in order to save Xiao Qiu, he was injured by the Fish Monster Demon, but in doing so, he obtained the Fish Monster Demon's weapon. Using this weapon, he cooperated with Xiaoxia to defeat the Fish Monster Demon.

Finally, he took a Nightmare Seed and disappeared without a trace.

It was only later that we learned that Xiao Bai took the Nightmare Seed to search for the aura of the Songstress Witch. After finding it, she then engaged in battle with the Songstress Witch.

He was initially at a disadvantage in the battle, but by burning his own knowledge and memories, he was able to fight the Witch again.

When Xiao Qiu and the other two arrived, in order to save them, she seemingly burned away important memories and knowledge, forcibly raising her strength to the same level as the Songstress Witch.

However, they still couldn't defeat the Witch immediately, and were eventually saved by Xiao Qiu in her Shining Form. Together with Xiao Qiu in Shining Form, they defeated the Witch.

During the battle, he finally acknowledged Xiao Qiu's strength and will, and was willing to fight alongside Xiao Qiu. After the battle, he said something like, "We will never meet again, so you don't need to know my name."

However, at the end of the first season, he seemed to have gone to Spring City and was the first to notice the existence of the Black Meteor...

(To be supplemented later)

It added a lot of details, including the causes and consequences of many places.

This includes the point of 'sacrificing knowledge and memory'.

Xiao Bai's expression remained unchanged as she continued looking at the comments section below. Ignoring the discussions about grabbing seats and reserving comments, Xiao Bai focused on other topics.

(Although the first season has ended, I feel like it had a major hidden danger!)

(Yeah, Xiao Bai's sacrificed memories and knowledge are definitely gone forever, right? And compared to Xiao Qiu's Shining Form, Xiao Bai's method of improving herself is definitely heretical!)

(So, Xiao Bai isn't actually a traditional Magical Girls?)

(It should be said that this type of Magical Girls is somewhat different from the one in Nino's contract. Even Xiao Bai's transformation into Magical Girls likely came at a price.)

(I mean... is it possible, just a possibility, that everyone can't find Xiao Bai, and doesn't know Xiao Bai's true form, but Xiao Bai knows Xiao Qiu and the others? Is there a possibility...?)

(Okay, shut up, you don't need to say anything more.)

(... So you mean, Xiao Bai was originally Xiao Qiu's friend, but because he burned Xiao Qiu and the others' memories of themselves, that's why Xiao Qiu don't know?)

(Wait, can Xiao Bai's ability also burn away other people's memories?)

(Why did you use the word 'burn'?)

(Because of the way the Sky Screen depicts it, Xiao Bai's memories seem to have been 'burned', and the Songstress Witch also said something like, 'Let's see how many memories you still have left to burn.')

(Logically, Xiao Bai shouldn't be able to burn other people's memories, right?)

(And even if it's burned, there will still be traces of her existence, right? So please don't go looking for trouble and eat yourself, okay?)

(But it's a fact that Xiao Bai burned her own memories...)

(Tsk, how could Xiao Bai be so silly!)

(Waaaaah, my Xiao Bai, my Xiao Bai!)

The discussion was still in full swing, but Xiao Bai, the person involved, was speechless as he looked at the discussions about himself.

There was one comment in the comments section that she strongly agreed with.

That means—don't go looking for a knife to eat, you bastard!

The knowledge you sacrificed isn't irretrievable. Besides, apart from the LV3 cooking skill, the rest is only LV2 knowledge, which can be regained in a few days of study. It's not as serious as you imagine!

If you keep going like this, you're going to turn me into a tragic figure!

Xiao Bai was speechless.

She closed the comments section, turned to look at the night sky, and thought of Yu Muqiu and the others.

Since everyone in the comments section thinks that way, what about Xiao Qiu and the others...?

Could it be that you think so too?

"... Where is Xiao Bai now?"

Where is Brother Fang Ming now...?

"Sigh." X2

On the rooftop of the Investigation Department, the Magical Girls gathered, gazing blankly at the night sky and the faintly visible Sky Screen. At the same time, Xiao Qiu and Xiao Chun uttered similar sighs.

"..."

Chen Xiaoxia, standing to the side, was speechless at the sight of the two of them.

She turned to look at Nino and asked Nino:

"No news from Brother Fang Ming?"

"Can't find her... That Magical Girls named Song Niandong is hiding too well."

Nino also sighed.

She was really dedicated to her search; she kept her radar magic, which detects magical energy, running almost around the clock, only taking a break when she was eating.

Even so, she still couldn't sense Song Niandong's magic, nor could she sense Xiao Bai's magic.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoxia scratched her head in annoyance. "Honestly, none of them are any peace of mind! And that Xiao Bai guy too, now that he knows his secret has been exposed, is it so hard for him to come to us for help!"

Hearing Chen Xiaoxia's words, Xiao Chun snapped out of her reverie and explained:

"Given Xiao Bai's personality, she probably wouldn't want to ask for help."

Even when dealing with the Songstress Witch, if there hadn't been no other way at the time, and if Xiao Qiu hadn't awakened her Shining Form, Xiao Bai wouldn't have accepted their help.

Xiao Bai has her own pride and stubbornness. She has always regarded Xiao Qiu and the others as her juniors and believes that protecting them is her responsibility.

But they never really thought of asking younger generations for help.

"That idiot!"

That was the only way Chen Xiaoxia could describe it, but unfortunately, Xiao Bai couldn't hear her calling him an 'idiot' for the time being.

"Xiao Bai..."

Hearing Chen Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun's conversation, Yu Muqiu felt even more melancholy and worried.

The fact that Xiao Bai had burned her memories has always bothered Yu Muqiu and made her feel guilty. She always thinks that if she could have realized this sooner, if she could have activated her Shining Form sooner, perhaps Xiao Bai wouldn't have had to sacrifice so much.

Xiao Bai is right; they really were just a burden back then.

"Alright, alright, if you keep sighing like that, you'll sigh away all your luck."

Chen Xiaoxia said irritably, then pulled the two of them along, saying, "Anyway, we don't have class tomorrow, and it's been a long time since we went out at night, so let's take this opportunity to go out for a walk, and maybe find Xiao Bai and Brother Fang Ming while we're at it..."

"... Xiaoxia, aren't you saying it backwards? You should be going to see Xiao Bai and Brother Fang Ming, and then taking a break to relax."

Xiao Chun reminded him from the side.

Chen Xiaoxia waved her hand. "That kind of thing doesn't matter, it's all the same. Come on, come on, don't worry about it here."

Chen Xiaoxia, even more optimistic than Yu Muqiu, dragged the two away, and the three of them transformed into Magical Girls, taking Nino on a 'nighttime stroll' through the city.

Several months later, the three girls went out at night again, not to search for the Nightmare Seed, but to relax and, incidentally, to look for someone.

Oh no, you've got it backwards.

It was to find someone, and also to clear my head.

But perhaps Song Niandong too well, or perhaps Xiao Bai did something tampering with it; in any case, the three Magical Girls didn't find any relevant clues that night.

Nothing happened that night.

Until dawn.

Volume Two: Season Two of "The Magic Autumn"

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Season Two Arrives as Scheduled!

Early morning.

Xiao Bai opened its eyes and looked to the side.

Song Niandong was still fast asleep, and although she should have been sleeping in bed, she somehow ended up on the sofa bed where Xiao Bai was sleeping, clinging to her like an octopus.

Fortunately, he was in his Xiao Bai form now. If it were Fang Ming's true form, and someone else had seen this, Fang Ming would have been in real trouble.

Xiao Bai pulled the sleeping Song Niandong him, carried her back to bed, then used magic to clean his own body before picking up an apron and going into the kitchen.

"You're really not pretending anymore, are you?"

Seeing that Xiao Bai skipped the washing up process and directly used magic to clean herself, the Black Rabbit Youyou, who had gotten up at some point, complained to Xiao Bai.

There's no need for that.

Xiao Bai's voice was clear and cold, but compared to her in the Sky Screen, her tone was much gentler and calmer, no longer as icy as before.

Black Rabbit hopped to her side, looked at her cooking, and said:

"Looking at you, it's really hard to believe that you're actually a man inside."

"You have a problem with that?"

"No, I was just marveling at it. And it's strange, how did you become Magical Girls?"

"Secret, go eat your carrots."

As Xiao Bai spoke, he casually picked up a peeled carrot and stuffed it into the Black Rabbit's mouth.

Even with a carrot stuffed in her mouth, it still couldn't shut Youyou up.

She said as she chewed:

"Logically speaking... chew chew chew... ordinary people, without... chew chew chew... signing a contract with us... chew chew chew... it's impossible for them to become Magical Girls..."
