Does Anyone Want to Leave Now?

Good morning, Brother Fang Ming!

The scene shifts to the kitchen dining table, where Fang Ming, wearing an apron, places the prepared food on the table and greets Xiao Qiu, who has just finished washing up.

Then Xiao Qiu's voice-over came on.

'This is my cousin Fang Ming. My parents are both away on business, so he's here to take care of me... By the way, he's a great cook! Although he hasn't been cooking as well lately...'

Xiao Qiu's voiceover says that she sat down at the dining table and ate breakfast with Fang Ming. After taking a couple of bites, her eyes lit up and she said to Fang Ming:

"Brother Fang Ming, have you gotten back into shape?"

"Hehe, it's not much different from before, is it?"

"Mmm, delicious!"

Xiao Qiu nodded, then began to wolf down her food.

"!"

Hearing Xiao Qiu's monologue on the Sky Screen, Fang Ming's heart tightened beneath the Sky Screen.

Fang Ming's cooking skills have declined compared to before, which is of course because he also sacrificed his LV3 cooking skills.

And now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Fang Ming's cooking skills should also be at level LV2.

Although Xiao Qiu said that Fang Ming has regained his composure, it's because Xiao Qiu Fang Ming has been taking care of him for the past few days and has gotten used to eating dishes made by LV1 level chefs. Now that she's suddenly eating LV2 level dishes, she's bound to find them delicious.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiu is easygoing and didn't take it to heart.

If it were Xiao Chun, she would probably have already guessed what was going on.

"Your cooking skills have declined because you've burned through all your knowledge of cooking, right? You used to be such a great cook."

Black Rabbit Youyou with a hint of regret.

Fang Ming's cooking these past few days has won her over, but she never expected that this was even after she had used up her culinary knowledge.

If that's the case, then how amazing must Fang Ming's cooking skills have been before? How delicious must his meals have been?

What a waste! What a waste!

Thinking of this, Youyou couldn't help but say to Fang Ming, "Why don't you just not become Magical Girls? Paying such a high price just to protect those innocent little girls is such a waste."

"..."

The price we paid wasn't as high as you might imagine.

Fang Ming ignored Youyou and turned his head to see Song Niandong, who had heard what he said, her eyes reddening.

She was clearly aware of this as well.

Song Niandong witnessed Xiao Bai burning his knowledge and memories to fight the Songstress Witch.

At the time, Song Niandong was only moved by Xiao Bai's actions, like the kind of emotion one feels when watching an important character sacrifice themselves on TV; it didn't really touch her heart.

But now that she knows Xiao Bai is Fang Ming, Song Niandong suddenly realizes that the one who is burning knowledge to fight is not Xiao Bai, but Fang Ming!

Therefore, her mindset also changed, and her gaze towards Fang Ming contained more urgency and worry.

Clearly, after spending a few days together, she had genuinely come to regard Fang Ming as family.

Seeing that Song Niandong's thoughts seemed to have been led astray by Youyou, Fang Ming couldn't help but explain:

"Dongdong, it's not as serious as you think. I learn things very quickly."

"... Really?"

Song Niandong asked worriedly.

Fang Ming had just nodded when Youyou suddenly interjected, "Even if you learn very quickly, knowledge that's already lost won't come back, right? How much knowledge do you still have left to use?"

Splash--

The silver chains yanked Youyou off her feet. Fang Ming, expressionless, said, "I think we should have braised rabbit tonight."

"!!! This joke isn't funny!"

"When did I say this was a joke?"

"..."

Youyou glanced at Fang Ming, then at Song Niandong, and finally shouted loudly:

"Dongdong, save me!!"

Song Niandong blinked.

Although she could tell that Fang Ming was just joking, she still hugged Youyou.

Fang Ming wasn't really that petty. After scaring Youyou a little, he said to Song Niandong:

"Don't worry, I'll really be fine."

Song Niandong nodded with some doubt, but then the music coming from the Sky Screen brought their attention back to the Sky Screen.

After Yu Muqiu's monologue ends, he meets with Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun, and talks with Nino. Then, a voice-over says, "I am still a Magical Girls."

Then the Sky Screen began to move into the opening sequence.

Accompanied by bass lines and a burst of drumbeats, the words 'Magical Girl Xiao Qiu' appeared on the Sky Screen.

Then, in the part with human voices, Xiao Qiu appears first. After hastily finishing her breakfast, she goes out and waves goodbye to Fang Ming.

Next, there's Xiaoxia running on the playground, and Xiao Chun sitting in the library reading a book.

Finally, there's a scene of Nino yawning and dozing off under the shade of a tree.

After a scene of three people and a cat flashes by, the second phase of music plays, showing Song Niandong sitting in the corner with her knees drawn up, and the Black Rabbit Youyou standing beside her.

After the two shook hands, the scene switched again, focusing on Xiao Bai.

Standing atop the tall building, Xiao Bai stretched out her hand towards the sky, as if to block out the sunlight, but quickly clenched her fist, holding the sunlight in her hand.

After the scene of everyone was shown, the music entered the second part, and the main enemies appeared. Toy Bear, vines, robots, dolls and other Demons appeared one after another, followed by Song Niandong in her Magical Girls form, and other Magical Girls who had also transformed.

As the lyrics change, the battle scenes also switch. Finally, at the end of the song, Song Niandong, who was sitting in the shadows, raises her head, and two different hands, illuminated by light, pierce through the shadows and reach out to her.

As Song Niandong raised her hand, it was simultaneously grasped by two people, drawing her into the light. [The opening sequence ends.]

(It sounds great!!)

(Compared to the music in the first season, which was somewhat childish, the songs in the second season are much better.)

(I really like the lyrics to the new opening theme!!)

(Is this purple Magical Girls the Magical Girls who will appear in the second season? And is that Black Rabbit a contracted creature?)

(Is the new Magical Girls a companion? Judging from their positions, it doesn't seem like it.)

(In the first season, Xiao Bai was on the opposite side of Xiao Qiu and the others, so she must be an ally!)

(The last two hands, do they look like Xiao Qiu and Xiao Bai? So this season is mainly about Xiao Qiu and Xiao Bai's redemption of the new Magical Girls?)

(Then who will save Xiao Bai? I still remember the time she burned her memories!)

There's no need to remember this!

Fang Ming was touched by the love that Xiao Bai's fans had for him, but there were some things he didn't need to remember. He hoped that netizens would forget about him, so that when Sky Screen really released the 'big one', he would receive less attention.

Although they're already receiving enough attention...

"Redemption..."

Youyou gazed at the information displayed on the Sky Screen above, her eyes flickering with uncertainty.

Judging from the close-ups shown in the opening sequence, it's almost certain that Dongdong lost in the end.

Not only did she lose, but she also successfully joined the Magical Girls team thanks to Xiao Qiu and Xiao Bai.

The two hands that pulled Dongdong from the shadows into the light are the best proof.

Were they a form of salvation for Dongdong?

So, does that mean I was wrong?

But Yu- Youyou knew how powerful the Demons was; this was an enemy that a few Magical Girls who weren't even high-ranking warriors could defeat.

Were their choices... really the right ones?

"A new Magical Girls!!"

Chen Xiaoxia pointed to the Magical Girls who last appeared on the Sky Screen and said to the two people next to her, "And there are new Magical Creatures too. Nino, do you recognize that Black Rabbit?"

Chen Xiaoxia looked at Nino.

The other two also turned their gazes to Nino, only to find Nino with a blank expression, the half-eaten freeze-dried food still in his mouth, unable to continue chewing.

After a long while, Nino exclaimed in surprise:

"Youyou!! She's still alive!!!"

"So you do know her?"

Xiao Chun asked curiously.

Nino swallowed all the freeze-dried food in his mouth, then nodded his head frantically and said:

"I know him, of course I know him! He's always been a top student, always in the top ten of every exam, of course I remember him!"

Nino remembers everyone who has achieved better grades than her.

So others might not know who Nino is, but Nino knows the names of those good students very well.

Youyou is one of them.

"So, the Magical Creatures that signed the contract with Xiaodong is Youyou?" Yu Muqiu asked.

Nino nodded again. "That's right, maybe even Xiao Bai? Youyou is stronger than me, has more magic power, and can contract more Magical Girls than me. Maybe... she's already contracted several Magical Girls."

"Really?!" Yu Muqiu asked in surprise, "We'll have more companions?!"

If Demons are to reappear in this world in the future, and even more Demons will appear, then undoubtedly the more companions the better.

Yu Muqiu was naturally happy about the appearance of his new companion.

But Xiao Chun poured cold water on her enthusiasm:

"Xiao Qiu, don't be too happy. Judging from the opening theme of the second season, the Magical Girls that Youyou signed is our enemy. Although she may become friends in the end, she is not yet. Don't be too careless."

"Oh... oh, but why would they become our enemies?"

Yu Muqiu looked at Nino with a puzzled expression.

Nino looked equally bewildered. "I don't know. Youyou should be like me, so how did she become an enemy?"

"Alright, instead of asking this silly cat, let's continue looking at the Sky Screen," Chen Xiaoxia said.

Nino instantly bristled. "Xiaoxia! Don't you dare call me stupid!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not stupid."

Xiaoxia gave Nino a perfunctory pat on the back, but how could such a perfunctory tone fool the 'clever' Nino?

So Nino bit Xiaoxia's hand.

"Whoa!!"

Xiaoxia cried out in pain, and chaos erupted on the rooftop where the group was watching the movie.

Chapter 79 Are there any people leaving now?

The opening theme of the Sky Screen is very misleading.

Because Song Niandong in her Magical Girl Form appeared more neutral during the exciting part of the song, no one suspected that the Toy Bear and robotic Demons were things created by Song Niandong.

Only those who know the truth will understand these things.

Xiao Qiu and the others only thought this way because they first learned that Song Niandong had kidnapped Fang Ming and confirmed that Song Niandong was an enemy.

However, without prior knowledge of this information, based solely on what the OP saw, it would be difficult to suspect that Song Niandong was an enemy.

Therefore, under these circumstances, when the opening sequence ended and the camera briefly focused on Xiao Qiu before switching to Song Niandong, who had a chance encounter with Xiao Qiu and passed by her, the audience did not suspect anything.

After all, a new character has been added this season, so it's normal to focus on the new character in the first episode.

The time in the Sky Screen is dusk.
