Chapter 584
Fang Ming indeed did not see this part of the plot.
But what Xiao Chun imagined was even worse: Fang Ming was experiencing this storyline firsthand!
From his perspective, he saw distrust and doubt in Xiao Chun's eyes, but at the same time, he also saw a hint of 'expectation' hidden deep within Xiao Chun.
Perhaps Xiao Chun already sensed that the Xiao Bai in front of her was Fang Ming who had lost his memory; her intuition was at work.
But her reason told her that once a person is dead, they are dead and cannot be brought back to life.
After all, humans aren't Demons.
Therefore, she refused to believe that the person in front of her was Xiao Bai, the one she had been thinking about day and night.
Because...
She was afraid that if she believed this, Xiao Bai would leave her again.
Fang Ming noticed this, and so did Tsukinomiya Yuki.
Therefore... outwardly, Xiao Bai's appearance showed no fear or dislike in his gaze towards Xiao Chun; instead, there was only a hint of curiosity... and tolerance.
"Don't... look at me like that!"
Xiao Bai's gaze stung Xiao Chun.
She made Xiao Chun feel that her outburst was just being unreasonable.
Xiao Chun couldn't stand that look, nor could she stand... a Xiao Bai, who seemed to be Demons in disguise, sitting in front of her.
She gritted her teeth and raised her arm to transform.
At the critical moment, Xiao Qiu and her group, who had gone out to buy groceries, returned home. Upon seeing what had happened, they immediately put down what they were carrying and went over to persuade Xiao Chun together with Xiaoxia.
"Xiao Chun! What are you doing?!" Xiao Qiu was the first to step forward and hug Xiao Chun.
Aurora frowned and said to Xiao Chun, "Are you already throwing a tantrum as soon as you wake up? I don't care what you want to do, but if you dare to lay a hand on Xiao Xue, I will never forgive you!"
"!"
Xiao Chun stood there dumbfounded, watching the Magical Girls standing to one side, all protecting Tsukinomiya Yuki.
Then he let Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia control him.
Volume 6 <Magic Autumn> Season 4: Chapter 624 Xiao Chun's Reverse Operation
The scene fell silent again.
Everyone sat together in the living room.
Tsukinomiya Ayaka Tsukinomiya Yuki in her arms, watching Xiao Chun warily. Aurora sat on the other side of Tsukinomiya Yuki, also giving Xiao Chun a disapproving look.
Xiaoxia and Xiao Qiu sat on either side of Xiao Chun to prevent Xiao Chun from getting agitated again.
As for Dongdong...
Yes, she's still not awake.
"... So, why do you believe he is Fang Ming, the brother who lost his memory?"
Xiao Chun looked at Aurora.
Aurora clicked her tongue and instead questioned Xiao Chun:
"Then why don't you believe he's just an uncle who lost his memory? They have so many similarities, don't they? He can use magic, he can transform into Magical Girls, and his Magical Girls powers are chains and scythes..."
"Most importantly, didn't he look exactly like the uncle when they were kids? Except for the hair color!"
"... Even Demons can do that."
Xiao Chun whispered, recalling the events that had occurred in the illusion created by the Desire Demon.
If even Desire Demon can do this, there's no reason why other Pillar-Tier Demon can't.
And didn't Xiao Qiu also say that another Pillar-Tier Demon has disappeared?
So isn't this guy who suddenly appeared even more suspicious?
"Enough!" Tsukinomiya Ayaka suddenly erupted, holding Tsukinomiya Yuki in her arms, and coldly said to the Magical Girls of the Central Continent District:
"I never intended for Xiao Xue to come here from the beginning. It was Senior Aurora who said that returning here might help Xiao Xue regain her past memories, so I brought Xiao Xue here."
"But... Senior Aurora never said that my adorable little brother would be treated as Demons! If this is what the Magical Girls of the Central Continent District want, then... let's go back now!"
Tsukinomiya Ayaka was very unhappy with Xiao Chun's suspicions.
Actually, she never wanted Tsukinomiya Yuki to come back.
One reason was that she worried that once Xiao Xue regained her memories, she would leave her side. Another reason was that Xiao Xue lost her memories precisely because of these Magical Girls.
Ayaka worries that once Tsukinomiya Yuki regains her memories, she will still sacrifice herself for the people in front of her, just like before.
However, because Aurora insisted and Xiao Xue herself agreed to come, Ayaka brought everyone along.
We treated it as a side trip.
Yu Muqiu and Chen Xiaoxia's initial attitude towards Xiao Xue also made Ayaka much more relaxed.
Although both of them were equally excited about Tsukinomiya Yuki's arrival, they restrained themselves to some extent and did not do anything excessive to Xiao Xue.
It doesn't seem like Stella trying to kidnap Xiao Xue.
Ayaka had initially lowered her guard, but... Xiao Chun 'Ayaka appearance caused her to become wary again.
Along with this surge of anger, there was also a growing sense of rage towards Xiao Chun.
Ayaka didn't care what the Magical Girls in the Central Continent District thought, but Ayaka simply couldn't accept that her beloved Xiao Xue, her cutest little brother, was being treated like Demons!
"Ah, Miss Tsukinomiya, please calm down... Xiao Chun, you too, calm down. Do you really think I'd be fooled by Demons's disguise?"
Xiao Qiu quickly stood up to mediate the fight.
Xiao Chun fell completely silent after hearing Xiao Qiu's words.
Yes, anyone could be fooled here, but Xiao Qiu wouldn't be.
Because Xiao Qiu's Power of Hope is a deadly poison to the Demons, the Demons's disguise is completely exposed in front of Xiao Qiu.
Even if the Demons could fool everyone else, he couldn't possibly fool Xiao Qiu.
Xiao Qiu wouldn't easily believe that a stranger is Fang Ming who has lost his memory. She has the ability that Fang Ming has after transforming into Magical Girls. If anyone is most likely to recognize Fang Ming after changing his identity, it's probably only Xiao Qiu.
But even so...
"..."
Xiao Chun silently looked up at Tsukinomiya Yuki, who was being hugged by Ayaka.
My nose feels a little sore for some reason.
If... the boy in front of me really is Fang Ming, then... does he really not remember anything about them?
No... that's not the point.
If the boy in front of me really is Fang Ming has lost his memory, then what exactly did I just do...?
Xiao Chun lowered her head and remained silent.
Silence fell in the room again. Chen Xiaoxia, seeing that the time was right, stood up and said:
"Alright, alright, let's put this discussion aside for now. I'm a little hungry. How about we prepare the ingredients first? We're having hot pot tonight, right?"
"Ah, I almost forgot, I'll go prepare the ingredients now. Xiao Chun, come help me. Xiaoxia... go check if Dongdong is awake yet, if not, use magic to wake her up."
Xiao Qiu also stood up and began making arrangements.
Aurora and the Tsukinomiya siblings were guests, so there was no reason for them to do anything, such as preparing dinner ingredients.
Xiaoxia herself is a complete novice when it comes to cooking, and since many hot pot ingredients are instant products, if Xiaoxia were to handle them, Xiao Qiu would have to watch over her to make sure she didn't eat all the ingredients beforehand. So, it was simply arranged for Xiaoxia to go and call Dongdong.
Everyone started to take action, and the conflict caused by Xiao Chun came to a temporary end.
Although Tsukinomiya Ayaka was still somewhat dissatisfied and wanted to leave with Tsukinomiya Yuki, seeing that Tsukinomiya Yuki had no intention of leaving, she had no choice but to stay.
Seeing the Magical Girls of the Central Continent District busy themselves, Aurora whispered an apology to Tsukinomiya Yuki:
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect her to react like this. Sigh, she used to like you a lot..."
"It's alright, in fact, this kind of reaction is normal."
Tsukinomiya Yuki shook her head, indicating that it was alright.
No one can immediately accept the fact that someone they know Resurrection.
When most people see someone who looks exactly like them, their first reaction is not "This person Resurrection," but rather an exclamation like "There really are people in this world who look exactly alike."
Not to mention that Tsukinomiya Yuki herself had turned into a child, so no one would have guessed that she was Fang Ming herself.
To be honest, Tsukinomiya Yuki was already quite surprised that Aurora and Stella were able to confirm this so quickly.
Xiao Chun's reaction at this moment, on the contrary, seemed normal to Tsukinomiya Yuki.
Thinking of this, Tsukinomiya Yuki asked Aurora with considerable curiosity:
"By the way, Aurora, how are you so sure that I am Fang Ming?"
"Hmm, a gut feeling? And also... you can become Magical Girls..."
"... You probably didn't know this before you and I met, right?"
"Yes, but I saw you... you used magic."
The main reason is that I saw Tsukinomiya Yuki transform into Magical Creatures.
If Aurora hadn't witnessed Tsukinomiya Yuki transform into Sheep Baa-Baa, she probably would have observed for a long time before confirming her deepest suspicions.
When this was brought up, Aurora comforted Tsukinomiya Yuki, saying:
"Don't worry, even though that Cow Girl seems suspicious of you, once she's sure you're the uncle, she'll trust you more than anyone else."
"Hmph, that's for the best."
Tsukinomiya Ayaka snorted coldly.
Because of Xiao Chun's unconventional actions, Tsukinomiya Ayaka's first impression of Xiao Chun was extremely poor.
(Oh no, Xiao Chun is really back to square one now.)
(Oh, Xiao Chun! Why are you so rational when you shouldn't be!)
(Hahaha! Xiao Chun has no chance! 'Mingao' party, charge!!!!)
([Xiao Chun]: Who's saying they don't have a chance!)
(Wwwww, I've appeared!)
(Xiao Chun, don't cry, it's okay, we believe you can definitely win Xiao Xue's heart!)
(It's my cousin!)
(Isn't that Xiao Xue in the Sky Screen?)
(On the bright side, at least Xiao Xue didn't really hate Xiao Chun)
(Yes, what a good child...)
"I won't lose, I absolutely won't lose... Waaah, Brother Fang Ming is right here with me..."
Faced with the teasing comments in the live stream, Xiao Chun hugged the still unconscious Fang Ming tightly in her arms and silently shed tears.
It's all Xiao Chun's fault in the Sky Screen!
If he had just acted like Aurora and expressed his feelings for Xiao Xue right away, or even simply said that she was his ex-girlfriend, he would have definitely won over the person on the Sky Screen that day!
So what's with directly questioning the other person's identity?!
Where did your love for Fang Ming go?! Why didn't you recognize him at first glance?!
Waaah, I hate myself in the Sky Screen so much...
Xiao Chun remained silent, tears streaming down her face, and hugged Fang Ming tightly again, comforting herself.
It's okay, at least... at least Fang Ming is in my arms right now, that's enough!
In the kitchen, Xiao Qiu and Xiao Chun were preparing ingredients side by side.
While preparing the ingredients, Xiao Qiu glanced at Xiao Chun, who was expressionless beside her, and said:
"... Are you a little more awake now?"
