Sign a Contract with Me and Become a Magical Girl~

(I heard the guardian has been arrested, as have those who bullied Xiaodong.)

(Haha, they only thought of doing it after being exposed by Sky Screen, these people are really hilarious.)

Many viewers in the live chat expressed their dissatisfaction with Dongdong's current situation.

They weren't dissatisfied with Dongdong, but rather with those 'individuals' who stood by and watched Dongdong being bullied without doing anything.

They could have helped Song Niandong earlier, sparing her from all these terrible experiences, but instead, they waited until the Sky Screen was exposed before taking any action.

In fact, if Song Niandong weren't Magical Girls, would those people even care about a girl like Song Niandong?

This is the root of many people's dissatisfaction.

Fang Ming was also dissatisfied with the official delays in handling the issue, but at the same time, Fang Ming was concerned about something else.

The second season opens with such a somber scene, which seems a bit...

Does it not quite fit the 'children's audience' genre? Or is it perhaps a bit too... realistic?

Fang Ming had a bad feeling. Song Niandong, the Magical Girls in the second season, had a tragic past. She became Magical Girls by signing a contract with Youyou, who had been modified by Demons.

Once there's one, there's bound to be two. With Song Niandong, will there be other Magical Girls with heavy backgrounds appearing?

Then the style suddenly shifted to something heavy? And started to become 'depressing'?

No, no, no, it shouldn't be...

Hmm, probably not.

Fang Ming reassured himself and continued watching the plot with some trepidation.

The first episode of this second season is unusually long at forty minutes. Only twenty minutes have passed since Fang Ming on the Sky Screen took Song Niandong home. It's unclear where this episode will end.

Inside the living room, Yu Muqiu and Song Niandong stared at each other wide-eyed.

In the kitchen, Fang Ming, who was cooking, heard the commotion outside, glanced out, and then said to Yu Muqiu:

"Xiao Qiu, you're back just in time. Take her to the bathroom to shower, and give her some of your old clothes to wear. Then it's time for dinner."

Fang Ming is a man, it's not appropriate for him to wash up or change Song Niandong 'Song Niandong clothes, and she wouldn't dare to do it by herself.

There was nothing Fang Ming could do but wait for Yu Muqiu to return so he could help Song Niandong deal with the situation.

Fang Ming's words brought Yu Muqiu, who was playing a staring game with Dongdong, back to her senses. She practically dashed to the kitchen door and asked Fang Ming, who was busy inside:

"Brother Fang Ming!! She... she... how did she get here! You... you didn't commit a crime, did you?!"

"What are you thinking? I saw her being bullied on the street, so I rescued her and brought her back with me." Fang Ming rolled his eyes at Yu Muqiu from the kitchen.

"Alright, hurry up and get to work, we'll eat later."

"..." Yu Muqiu blinked and looked at Song Niandong, who was curled up on the sofa.

Then, puzzled, she asked, "Where are her family? Why doesn't Brother Fang Ming send her back?"

Fang Ming sighed, "... Guess why I brought her back?"

Yu Muqiu fell silent.

She quickly guessed why Fang Ming had brought the girl back, and her gaze towards Song Niandong became filled with more sympathy.

Without Fang Ming saying anything more, she jogged over to Song Niandong's side, pulled her up from the sofa, and smiled sweetly at her:

"My name is Yu Muqiu, welcome to my home~"

She welcomed Song Niandong.

From Song Niandong's perspective, Yu Muqiu, who pulled her up, seemed to be radiating light.

This is the second time Yu Muqiu and Song Niandong have met. The first time they met was just a fleeting encounter on the playground, and neither of them noticed the other.

But this time, they not only noticed each other, they also exchanged names.

At this moment, neither of them knew the other's true identity; one was an active Magical Girls, and the other was Magical Girls from the future.

At this moment, the two were just friends who had just met.

After washing up, Yu Muqiu pulled Song Niandong to sit at the dining table.

Amidst Fang Ming and Yu Muqiu's conversation and bickering, Song Niandong enjoyed a warm dinner that felt like 'home', the first time she had eaten since her grandmother's passing.

The aroma of the food wafted into my nostrils, and the warm scene felt like a dream.

Song Niandong looked down at the food in her bowl, her vision blurred, and tears streamed down her face silently, dripping onto the table.

Yu Muqiu and Fang Ming fell silent at that moment. Seeing Song Niandong start crying, Yu Muqiu panicked and rushed to Song Niandong's side.

"Dong... Dongdong?! What's wrong? Are you alright?! Is the food Fang Ming made so bad that it made you cry... Ouch!"

Before Yu Muqiu could finish speaking, he received a solid chopstick strike to the forehead from Fang Ming.

Fang Ming glared at her, annoyed, but chose not to scold her.

He turned to look at Song Niandong, who was crying silently, thought for a moment, and then softly said to Song Niandong:

Sometimes, crying it out is all it takes.

"Waaah... Waaah--"

Fang Ming's words made Song Niandong burst into tears.

Yu Muqiu looked at the crying Song Niandong helplessly. She didn't know how to comfort her, so she just went behind Song Niandong and gently patted her back.

Time slipped away quietly in the meantime.

That night, Yu Muqiu suggested going to the riverbank for a walk to clear his head, and Fang Ming readily agreed. It would also be a good opportunity for him to show Song Niandong the roads in the area. So, after dinner, the three of them left home and headed to the riverbank, where they strolled Youyou.

Everything seemed very peaceful. The lights reflected on the river at night, along with the melodious music playing from the streets, brought a sense of tranquility to both the eyes and the ears.

Song Niandong's mood also improved, until...

She heard someone calling her.

'Come closer... please help me...'

It was a girl's voice, sounding quite young, and she was asking Song Niandong for help.

"Who?"

Song Niandong, who was behind Fang Ming and Yu Muqiu, suddenly turned around. She knew someone was calling her, but after looking around, she couldn't see anything.

(Here it comes, the classic one!)

(Why does this scene feel so familiar?)

(Here's a hint: in the first episode of season one, Nino called Xiao Qiu that.)

(Good grief, so you Magical Creatures contract girls have a formula, huh?)

"Is that how you called Dongdong back then?"

Fang Ming glanced at Youyou sideways.

Youyou's rabbit ears twitched, and she replied, "I couldn't move at all back then, so I had to think of a way to ask for help, right?"

"Can't move? Why?"

"Just like Nino, he used up his magic power to travel between worlds, and at that time he was probably lying dead in some corner of the world."

He said Youyou.

Traveling between worlds is no easy feat. Nino exhausted all his magical power in the process, and was eventually saved by Xiao Qiu, after which he formed Magical Girls contract with her.

The same goes for Youyou; the falling Black Meteor was her, and the Black Meteor enveloping her was the manifestation of her magic.

When her magic was exhausted, she was unconscious for a long time.

Upon waking up, her first thought was to ask for help, and in Spring City, most of the qualified Magical Girls had formed contracts with Nino.

Of the remaining children who could potentially become Magical Girls, Song Niandong and Youyou were the most compatible.

Of course, Youyou would seek help from Song Niandong.

Song Niandong dared not search for the source of the voice herself, yet the voice kept urging her on.

Although she wanted to ask Fang Ming and Yu Muqiu for help, Song Niandong hesitated because she thought they had only just met.

Finally, she made up an excuse to go to the restroom and began searching in the direction of the sound.

'Here... over here... yes, a little more this way...'

"Who are you? Why are you calling me?"

'You'll understand when you see me, please... help me...'

The girl's slightly immature voice pleaded.

Although Song Niandong was a little scared, the thought that someone might need her help gave her the courage to walk into the alley next door.

It was late, and the alley was dark and gloomy without any streetlights, but Song Niandong seemed unafraid as she walked into the alley, asking:

Who is it? Where are you?

"This... here..."

The girl spoke again, but this time not in Song Niandong's mind, but in the corner of the alley.

Song Niandong looked in the direction of the sound, then her eyes widened.

Because right in the corner of that alley, there lay a black rabbit that looked like it was injured!

The rabbit's fur blended almost seamlessly into the surrounding darkness; if it weren't for the faint light reflected off its fur, Song Niandong would have barely seen it!

And it was this rabbit that called out to Song Niandong!

Chapter 82 Sign a contract with me and become Magical Girls ~

A second Magical Creatures!

Everyone saw Youyou through the Sky Screen.

This also includes Nino, who was standing next to Yu Muqiu.

Unlike the others, Nino's face was filled with disbelief upon seeing Youyou:

"Youyou... how did she become like this!?"

"Hmm? What happened to her?"

Xiao Chun asked, puzzled.

Nino carefully examined the Sky Screen, tapping it with his cat paw, and said, "I didn't notice it before when I only watched the opening sequence, but now that I look closely... look at the right side of Youyou's body, isn't there a darker mark?"

"... It seems... there is a bit."

After careful observation, the Magical Girls found that Nino was right; there was indeed a faint black brand on the right side of Youyou's body.

Because Youyou's natural color is blackish-purple, the black mark is not very noticeable unless you look closely.

Even if they were in that alley, they probably wouldn't have noticed it at all.

To allow everyone to see more details, the lighting in the Sky Screen was turned up, but in reality, at this time, the area without streetlights should be eerily dark.

Xiaodong was able to find Youyou; that's all thanks to her good judgment.

Nino, however, had sharp eyes and noticed this. She pointed to the brand and said:

"This is the Demon Mark!"

"What?!"

Chen Xiaoxia exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening. "Demon Mark?! You mean Youyou is Demons now!?"

"No, no, no, she's not Demons, but she definitely accepted Demons's magic! Xiao Qiu, we need to find my cousin quickly, or he might be in danger!"

Nino said earnestly to Xiao Qiu.

The Demons are best at modifying the creatures of the original world, turning them into the vanguard of their invasion.

If Youyou has already been modified, then in order to increase the number of usable 'subordinates' she might do something detrimental to Fang Ming!

After Nino told the Magical Girls about it, Xiao Chun reacted the most decisively.

She didn't even look at the Sky Screen anymore, turned around and left. Judging from the direction she went, she was probably going to discuss something with the people in the Investigation Department.

Although Xiao Qiu and Xiaoxia were also worried, looking at Song Niandong carefully taking care of the Black Rabbit Youyou on the Sky Screen, and Youyou who seemed to have no ill intentions, Xiao Qiu said to Nino:

"Dongdong is a good girl, Youyou... probably is too. If they're watching this episode too, they should understand that Fang Ming is helping them, and they won't lay a hand on Fang Ming."
