Magical Girls Exposed!

At Fang Ming's home.

Song Niandong clutched the corner of Fang Ming's clothes, timidly looking him straight in the eye.

No. The person standing before Song Niandong at this moment was not actually Fang Ming. He had silver hair and was about the same height as Song Niandong.

He was not Fang Ming. He was Tsukinomiya Yuki.

And this moment was precisely when summer vacation had ended—the point at which Tsukinomiya Yuki was supposed to return to the Eastern Ocean District with the Magical Girls from there.

Tsukinomiya Yuki turned to look at Song Niandong. His gaze slowly lowered, landing on the hand clutching the corner of his clothes.

The boy's eyes were clear, with only an indescribably complicated emotion flashing through them.

Then Song Niandong heard the boy say:

"I... haven't remembered my past yet, so... I'm not your brother."

"I don't care! I finally... finally waited for you to come back! I won't let you leave again! Brother... please, stay, okay?"

Song Niandong rarely lost control of her emotions like this. She threw away the Little Bear plushie, hugged the silver-haired boy before her, and held on tightly without letting go.

The boy froze for a moment. He slowly raised his hand, as though he wanted to hug Song Niandong, but in the end, he did not.

Of course, he did not push Song Niandong away either.

He merely lowered his hand and said softly to her:

"Can I... call you Dongdong?"

"Mm! That's what Brother used to call me. Of course you can call me that... Brother..."

"Dongdong." The boy interrupted Song Niandong. His gaze swept across the room.

With that single glance, he seemed able to see many things through the furnishings in the room.

He seemed to see Song Niandong often sitting on the sofa
