Chapter 582

At the very least, they should have told Fang Ming.

It's a bit strange that Xiao Qiu is telling this story...

Chen Xiaoxia felt a growing sense of doubt, while Xiao Chun, without much suspicion, asked Xiao Qiu:

Where is that place you're talking about?

"Outside the World Barrier."

Yu Muqiu said, then stood up and addressed the group, "If you want to go, I can scout the way first, and once I've confirmed it's safe, I'll take you all there."

"Wait, Xiao Qiu, you're going to go alone? Now?" Chen Xiaoxia asked in surprise, "The Sky Screen hasn't finished playing yet. Even if it's training, we should wait until after the fourth season ends, right?"

"It's alright. I believe that even if I travel beyond the world, I will still be able to see the plot of the fourth season, just like Miss Lesos."

Yu Muqiu answered with a smile.

Xiao Chun's expression turned slightly serious. She asked, "Do we really have to rush this? This world hasn't even... yet..."

"The sooner we make arrangements, the easier it is for the world's future to turn for the better, so there's no problem."

Yu Muqiu smiled at Xiao Chun, a smile as innocent and honest as ever, and continued:

"Since we're almost there, why not give it a little more effort?"

The Sky Screen exists to make the world a better place, and to prevent the ending depicted in the Sky Screen from reappearing in reality.

Therefore, everyone needs to work harder and harder to achieve this goal.

All for that beautiful ending.

That future where no one will sacrifice themselves and no one will cry.

Volume 6 <Magic Autumn> Season 4: Chapter 622 You Should Look Forward

The place Yu Muqiu mentioned does not actually exist.

Neither in this world nor in the Sky Screen does the Magical Girls have a place where they can quickly increase their strength.

But...

"... Well, there are probably some things that can be done."

Yu Muqiu arrived outside the world, feeling the power within his body, and spoke softly.

It is obvious that the person whispering to himself here is not Yu Muqiu himself, but Sky Screen Autumn.

Or more accurately, it's the future Xiao Qiu, who has already become the 'God of Magical Girls'.

With her consent, Future Qiu plans to intervene slightly in the realities of this world.

As long as she doesn't reveal information about the future and doesn't help the Magical Girls defeat the Demons, Future Qiu can do almost anything.

But she usually doesn't do that.

This world is special, even in the eyes of Future Qiu, who has already become a 'concept', it is an extremely special existence.

Because...

This timeline, someday in the future, could replace the reality that has already 'ended'.

This means that as long as a happy ending can be achieved in this world, everything Future Qiu —the sadness and the regrets—will cease to exist.

That's why Future Qiu.

And to that end, to enhance the Magical Girls' strength.

"Then, let's get started."

Having deliberately chosen a place far from his own world, Future Qiu fully activated the magic within Yu Muqiu and began to construct a real world around him.

No one knows how many Magical Girls will be born in the future, and naturally, no one knows how many kinds of magic Future Qiu.

The abilities that Future Qiu has shown at this moment alone include several, such as 'Element Creation', 'Barrier Creation', 'Inanimate Activation', and 'Illusion Creation'.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the abilities that Future Qiu.

"... Will I be as amazing as you in the future?"

Yu Muqiu silently questioned his future self.

The future her was silent for a moment before replying, "... I wish you weren't as capable as me."

"..." Yu Muqiu was silent for a while, then asked softly, "It must have been very tiring?"

"..."

"You carried all of this by yourself... it must have been tough, right?"

"... This is the choice I made, so even if it's tough... there's nothing I can do about it."

Do you regret it?

"Heh." Future Qiu suddenly laughed, and asked playfully, "Guess?"

"..."

Yu Muqiu remained silent.

After a while, just as Future Qiu was about to complete the construction of this world, Yu Muqiu said:

"I will try my best."

She paused, then her tone hardened again as she said, "I will work hard to achieve the ending you desire. I will strive to ensure I have no regrets! Believe me!"

"Ah, I've always believed in you," Future Qiu said softly, "... because I've always believed in myself."

In the Future Qiu actually regretted it.

Yu Muqiu could sense it; after all, if there were no regrets, Future Qiu, and wouldn't have projected the Sky Screen onto this world.

But... Future Qiu had no other choice then.

Even if you regret it, there's no second chance.

That was what she originally thought.

But now, she has a new opportunity, and Yu Muqiu is her opportunity. Yu Muqiu herself guessed this, even if she becomes more mature in the future, her heart is full of sadness, Yu Muqiu also understands her future self.

Because they were originally one person.

Therefore, at this moment, Yu Muqiu made a promise to her future self that she would change everything.

Just as my future self would have hoped, I would change everything, completely tearing up and throwing away that tragic ending, replacing it with the perfect ending that everyone wants to see.

She believed that Yu Muqiu would do this, and she was confident that she could do it too.

"Alright, time to get back to work... Oh, I forgot, the plot of episode four also..."

Future Qiu raised her hand and created a light screen beside her, and then the plot of the fourth episode was displayed on the light screen.

Upon seeing this, Yu Muqiu suddenly asked with considerable curiosity:

"What's the working principle behind this Sky Screen? Did you project your own memories onto it?"

"No, it's not that simple. In the future... there's a Magical Girls who can 'send messages to the past,' and another Magical Girls who can 'connect to other worlds'..."

"By combining the abilities of these Magical Girls, connecting to the world that has already turned our story into a 'comic,' and then projecting the anime produced in that world onto this world..."

"Yes, that's about it."

"Future Qiu explained."

"It feels so complicated..."

"It does sound complicated, but it becomes quite easy when you actually do it..."

"Future Qiu said."

She should be thankful that Stella's soul, after her death, accidentally passed through a spatial rift and ended up in another world.

It was also thanks to Stella going to another world and recording their story as a comic book, which was then adapted into anime, that Future Qiu was able to project all of this into this special world.

It can be said that the appearance of the Sky Screen was entirely a coincidence.

If something goes wrong in any of the links, such as the absence of Magical Girls can 'connect to another world' or 'send messages back to the past'...

For example, Stella's soul went to the afterlife without crossing the spatial rift to reach another world, or perhaps Stella simply chose to lie still and not record their story...

Then there would be no Sky Screen this world.

This world will then head towards a tragic end, just like in the memories of the Future Qiu.

Even though Future Qiu, she couldn't help but sincerely thank the non-existent god of fate.

Thank Him, He gave her a chance to avert the tragedy.

"Anyway, this isn't important." Thinking this, Future Qiu said to Xiao Qiu Aki:

Now, let's take a look at episode four.

While he was talking to Xiao Qiu, the fourth episode on the screen officially began playing.

The events leading up to the opening sequence of episode four are similar to what Fang Ming experienced.

Tsukinomiya Yuki was welcomed into Fang Ming's home. After Xiaoxia's suspicions and Tsukinomiya Yuki's transformation to prove it, the family was able to move together.

The opening sequence begins with Xiaoxia silently shedding tears.

And when the opening sequence ended... the camera focused on Xiao Chun.

Or rather...

In Xiao Chun's memory.

In the world of consciousness, Xiao Chun sat in the pale green void.

Images floated around her, fragmented and playing Xiao Chun's memories.

Among these memories, the person who appears most frequently is Fang Ming.

However, some of these scenes do not exist in reality.

For example, Xiao Chun and Fang Ming fall in love; they admire each other and kiss under the moon.

For example, when the two walk down the aisle and exchange wedding rings, Fang Ming picks Xiao Chun up and spins her around.

And... the two had children, a boy and a girl. The boy looked a lot like Fang Ming, and the girl resembled Xiao Bai.

After that, their lives got back on track, and although they had occasional arguments, overall it was a sweet relationship.

Marry, have children, grow old, and walk hand in hand into the grave.

These non-existent memories dominate the visuals of Xiao Chun's memory.

And these memories...

It was a world that the Desire Demon created for her.

"... That's really lame of me."

Hugging her knees, Xiao Chun withdrew her longing gaze from those images, and chuckled self-deprecatingly:

"I can't believe I've become so immersed in this kind of world..."

As she said this, Xiao Chun silently shed tears, and said with a slight sob:

"... But... if such a world really existed... how wonderful that would be."

The moment the Desire Demon was destroyed, Xiao Chun was already able to wake up.

Originally lost in her own Desire, she has now come to feel the presence of reality, and she can wake up almost at any time if she wants to.

But Xiao Chun didn't.

When she regained her senses, a surge of anger welled up inside her.

Why wake yourself up? Why not let yourself stay in this world?

She even had a thought she should never have had at that time.

Why... must we eliminate the Desire Demon?

After venting her emotions, Xiao Chun fell into regret and self-blame because of her own thoughts.

She shouldn't think that way. Destroying Demons is the mission of Magical Girls, and Demons are the culprits who killed Fang Ming. She shouldn't think like that no matter what.
