Chapter 615

Volume 6 <Magic Autumn> Season 4: Chapter 657 Do you remember...?

Xiao Bai transformed back into Magical Girls, and the power that shared the same origin as the Demons's negative magic was instantly neutralized by the positive power inherent in Magical Girls.

However, after Xiao Bai became Magical Girls, her power also decreased rapidly, from Pillar Rank being able to contend with the War Demon to only Middle Rank- level being.

The War Demon raised an eyebrow, surprised by Xiao Bai's transformation into Magical Girls, but her hands moved with surprising speed.

"Did you think you could escape your fate by becoming Magical Girls...?"

As the War Demon spoke, he reached out his hand to Xiao Bai.

"Don't even think about it!!!"

Just as the War Demon was about to grab Xiao Bai, the pink-haired girl in the distance immediately rushed over!

She first fired several Magic Cannons to distract the War Demon, then quickly went to Xiao Bai's side and hugged the silver-haired girl.

In just a short Kung Fu, Yu Muqiu rescued Xiao Bai and fled to a faraway place, putting distance between himself and the War Demon.

"Xiao Qiu-- " Xiao Bai, held in Yu Muqiu's arms, said apologetically, "I'm sorry for troubling you. I thought... I could..."

"You have nothing to apologize for." Yu Muqiu interrupted Xiao Bai, her smile gentle, just like Fang Ming's used to be. She smiled and said:

"We're really happy you could come and help us, but now..."

She exhaled slowly, put Xiao Bai down, and said to Xiao Bai, "Now, this is not your battlefield, Xiao Bai. Go back before the Demons capture you."

"... You... you want me to run away?!"

The silver-haired girl's ruby-like eyes were wide open.

Yu Muqiu slowly shook his head. "No, it's about preserving your strength. This isn't a battle you should be involved in right now. You should go back."

"..."

Xiao Bai was speechless.

Her fists were clenched, her expression showing resentment and self-blame.

She came to provide support, but now she's been saved by Xiao Qiu instead, and... she can't even use her Demons powers anymore, becoming a complete burden to everyone...

But Xiao Qiu is right.

Without Pillar Rank power and unable to transform into Demonized Form, Xiao Bai, who only possesses the power of Magical Girl Form, is indeed not qualified to participate in this war.

If Xiao Bai stays here, he'll only cause trouble for everyone and won't serve any other purpose.

She should leave, leave this battlefield.

"Don't worry, we'll handle everything. Trust us!"

Yu Muqiu gave Xiao Bai a confident smile, then turned to look at the War Demon again, his expression resolute. "Then, I'm going!"

The girl's figure vanished in an instant, turning into a pink dot of light, and she once again engaged in battle with the War Demon.

Xiao Bai stared blankly at the girl's figure, then at the blue-haired girl in the distance whose lifespan was being taken away by dodgeballs, a faint pain throbbing in his forehead.

--Is this the person you want to protect? The person being protected is protecting... How pathetic...

Deep inside, something was touched, and that voice resurfaced in my ears.

Xiao Bai covered her forehead, a strong sense of resentment mixed with a deep-seated desire to protect the Magical Girls, stimulating her mind.

In that instant, it felt as if countless memories were flowing through my mind.

In the fleeting moment of memory, the phantom image of a girl seemed to appear behind Xiao Bai.

A silver phantom, strikingly similar to the silver-haired girl, embraced Xiao Bai from behind and whispered in Xiao Bai ear:

"... You went to great lengths to eliminate me, and then... ended up like this, only to find that when it comes time to protect someone, you don't even have a chance to participate in the battle. Don't you find that ridiculous?"

"I..."

"I think you should just listen to Xiao Qiu and leave. After all, given your current childlike appearance, it's only natural that you need to be protected, isn't it?"

"..."

Xiao Bai remained silent, clutching her increasingly throbbing head, and forced herself to continue observing the direction of the battlefield.

She could no longer see clearly the battle between Pillar Rank opponents.

She could only vaguely see a few points of light flashing in the void before fading away.

Those points of light represent the Magical Girls and Demons in battle, but now, Xiao Bai can't even see them.

Should we just leave like this?

Besides leaving, what else can Xiao Bai do?

But...

"They... are just a group of children..."

Xiao Bai said this almost subconsciously.

Xiao Qiu, Xiaoxia, and all the Magical Girls she knew were just a group of children still in school. They shouldn't have to endure this, and they shouldn't have to dedicate their most youthful years to fighting against Demons.

What I wanted to protect before was precisely this: to protect the peaceful daily lives of those children, so that they could grow up safely and peacefully like ordinary children...

Huh?

Why would I think that way?

At this moment, her consciousness wavered, Xiao Bai began to notice the change in her thoughts. More memories began to enter Xiao Bai's mind, taking advantage of her thoughts at this instant.

"Who I am...?"

The memories began to merge and become more chaotic, but amidst this chaos, the memories in the silver-haired girl's mind became clearer and clearer.

"It seems you've remembered."

The illusory image of the silver-haired girl slowly released Xiao Bai and said to her, "Now, it's time for your performance, Fang Ming."

"..."

A call exploded in the silver-haired girl's mind like a bomb.

She slowly closed her eyes, as if recalling everything, or as if experiencing something.

Finally, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a Shine silver light enveloped her. The immense energy, Shining Power that drew everyone's attention, caused the Magical Girls and Demons to stop fighting and look in the direction of the Shining Light.

"This is... Shining Form?" Yu Muqiu was quite surprised. Her gaze fell on the enormous, eye-catching pillar of light in the distance, and she murmured to herself:

"... Is it... Xiao Bai?"

Rumble--

The resonant sound brought about by the surge of magic replaced Yu Muqiu's answer.

At the very center, enveloped by the Shining Power, the young silver-haired girl once again grasped her scythe.

She opened her eyes, her gaze filled with composure and calmness, mixed with a faint, chilling killing intent directed at the Demons.

A change occurred in the silver-haired girl; it was a peculiar, indescribable change.

But whatever the changes, the silver-haired girl of today is no longer Tsukinomiya Yuki.

It's obvious...

She has regained her memory!

--"recall"

As the title of episode eight appeared, the screen suddenly went dark.

Episode 8, without an opening or ending theme, has come to an end!

(... Wait a minute, Sky Screen, did you skip something?)

(What's going on with Xiao Bai's thoughts? How did he suddenly regain his memories??)

(Strictly speaking, whether it's Xiao Qiu, Xiaoxia, or Xiao Chun, what they were thinking before the outburst was just a fleeting moment. From the outside... that's probably how it appears, right?)

(But there were no flashbacks or anything, so it felt like something was missing.)

(On the bright side, maybe they'll make it up in the next episode?)

(It would be best if this could be added... By the way, Xiao Bai can indeed activate Shining Form too...)

(Yeah, I was surprised too. I thought that if she could Demonization, she wouldn't be able to activate her Shining Form...)

(She's a very popular Magical Girls, after all; it's impossible for her not to have Shine.)

(That's true...)

The silver-haired boy stroked his chin.

He pondered for a moment the process of the Tsukinomiya Yuki Radiating Shine, then scratched his head in confusion.

At that time, Tsukinomiya Yuki actually thought of many things, including his memories as Fang Ming and his original intention to protect Xiao Qiu and the others.

Seeing Xiao Qiu and the others at a disadvantage, the urge to protect them instantly brought back his memories and stirred his emotions, leading Fang Ming to also find the key to mastering the Shining 2 form.

Logically, such a scene shouldn't have been left out of the Sky Screen...

Is it due to space limitations?

This episode is quite long, and it doesn't have an opening or ending theme. The quality is also very good, and the fight scenes show that a lot of money was spent on it.

If we add Tsukinomiya Yuki's memories to this episode, it will not only lengthen the runtime, but after filling in so much plot, the quality of this episode will probably have to be reduced in order to ensure that it can be broadcast on time.

Therefore, if this is the approach taken, it would be reasonable to place Tsukinomiya Yuki's memories in the next episode.

"Tsk, I really don't want people to see what I'm thinking..."

Just like Luna had thought back then, Fang Ming didn't really like his thoughts being known to outsiders.

However, as mentioned before, neither the Magical Girls nor Fang Ming could control the Sky Screen, so no matter what the Sky Screen played, he had to grit his teeth and bear it.

Anyway, the Magical Girls and Fang Ming already have enough dark history, so one more won't make a difference.

"Episode 8 is over..."

Ayaka wistful sigh came from beside her. She murmured to herself, "It seems that Xiao Xue in the Sky Screen has regained her memories... Will he leave... leave me in the Sky Screen?"

"No, that won't happen."

The silver-haired boy, who already knew the 'answer,' comforted Ayaka, saying, "Although you've regained your memories, it doesn't mean that 'Tsukinomiya Yuki' will completely give up everything he gained when he became Tsukinomiya Yuki, so don't worry, sister."

Since these words were spoken by 'Tsukinomiya Yuki' herself, who is under the Sky Screen, they are quite convincing.

Looking at her younger brother's adorable appearance, Ayaka smiled and hugged the silver-haired boy, saying:

"Yes, that's true. After all, Xiao Xue is my cutest little brother. Of course, he wouldn't be so heartless as to leave his sister, right!"

"..." Seeing that Tsukinomiya Ayaka was moving closer to Sky Screen Ayaka, the silver-haired boy smiled helplessly.

He could feel the piercing gaze coming from the tall buildings not far behind him.

Clearly, one of the red-haired girls was starting to feel a pang of jealousy.

Volume 6, Magic Autumn 4: Chapter 658, Operation Aurora--

Late at night.

In the bedroom prepared specifically for 'Tsukinomiya Yuki' at the Tsukinomiya Residence.

The red-haired girl sneaked in through the window.

Although the intimate behavior between Tsukinomiya Ayaka and Fang Ming today made the red-haired girl extremely jealous.

But at least she held back, not going down to separate the two on the spot. Instead, she waited until now before planning to "ambush" the older man at night and properly question him about his thoughts.

"What's going on? This stinky old man, he already has that Cow Girl, me, and that Cheating Bear by his side, and he still has to go and mess with other girls... I really should keep him in check, otherwise..."

"What else would you do?"

"Ooh-ee!"

The sudden sound in the room made Aurora let out a strange cry.

Upon hearing the strange cry, Fang Ming looked at Aurora in surprise and said, "You actually made such a cute sound just now, that's quite rare."

The girl blushed instantly and said to Fang Ming with displeasure, "Don't scare me like that! You old rascal!"

"Someone broke into my room uninvited last night, and now you're trying to shift the blame? It's not right for you to do that. I don't remember you being that kind of kid."

"I'm not a child!" Aurora strode up to Fang Ming, crossed her arms, looked up at the boy who was a head shorter than her, and said, "Compared to me now, you're the one who's more like a child!"
