Vienna Airport.
Charlotte looked at the reflection in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction.
The girl styled her dark blue hair into a bun and magically changed its color to a plain brown that wouldn’t stand out in Vienna. She wore a flowing white Roman dress, a sun hat, and sunglasses, slyly using magic to make her face look like a common but pretty person.
"Now, don’t say I’m a fan. Even Little Qing wouldn’t be able to recognize me at first glance, right?"
The Last Diva patiently prepared for a game of hide-and-seek, trying to avoid being recognized by a fan before she could even scare Chu Yuanqing, which would ruin the plan. She stepped off the plane, which had only one passenger, and blended into the crowd, getting on the bus heading to the city center.
Charlotte put on her headphones. With half an hour left until they reached their destination, she continued to watch the video, catching up on the "Dazzling Stage" show from the Sea City competition.
Though it was a special edition edited by Dream Weaver, she still only saw the end of the first performance on the plane, just catching the beginning of the teammate competition.
Charlotte had the most memories, and her feelings about watching this talent show were quite complicated.
Tang Liuli, the green-eyed cat, shy and socially anxious, was an incredibly cute junior who, surprisingly, entered the entertainment industry at a young age during a time of peace and was praised as a rare genius child star in the entertainment world. As a child, she looked very bright and even made it into "Dazzling Stage," becoming a trainee idol.
"So…"
"Even without a disaster beast, will Liuli still end up looking embarrassing and timid because of other factors?"
Charlotte paused the video and checked the details, filled with anger.
Liuli’s parents were going too far, with their messy artistic pursuits. She spoke a lot of bad things about Liuli’s dad to Dream Weaver, venting her frustrations after hearing about the upcoming art exhibition, then gently poked the green-eyed cat on the screen, showing a hopeful smile.
Yes, still as cute as before. After meeting, she needed to quickly build a good relationship, just like before, by petting the cat.
"Let’s go see what other people experienced in New Game Plus."
Charlotte’s curiosity was sparked, and she went to find information about Xie Qingxuan first.
In her first playthrough, her personality was naturally friendly with acquaintances because she felt very attached to Little Qing due to some events, and she was not the type to idolize others.
After all, it’s hard to imagine a girl who battled the Supreme Disaster Beast until the end, smashing the continent into pieces, actually going on stage to dance; it seems completely out of place.
Well, she used to boldly promise to form an idol group together, partly because she thought it would be fun to see Xie Qingxuan dance.
But in New Game Plus, this good friend was called the Great Devil by Daxia’s fan circle and was given titles like Stage Tyrant and Imperial Ruthless Tiger, showcasing her style in every sense.
What surprised Charlotte the most was something else.
That is, Little Xuan actually has an older sister! And this sister is even someone familiar to her!
Charlotte opened the app and clicked on someone’s chat. The last message was simply, "My sister hates me."
Xie Qing Yu, the captain-level witch, used her magic to protect Sankt Wolfgang, while the Dream Weaver sent her to eliminate the disaster beast within the area and provide some magical support.
Charlotte had a good relationship with Xie Qing Yu. She felt a bit sorry for the golden retriever, who was very clever about things but easily got stuck on people, which explained why Little Yu was disliked.
Let’s just say that if Little Xuan doesn’t get straight to the point, she might never know you’re apologizing in her next life.
The Last Diva decided to give her good friend a hint and texted back, "Just listen to Violet," then looked into Little Sakura’s past, feeling happy about Miyuki’s New Game Plus.
Although it was unfortunate to be exploited by a greedy company, the silly shrine maiden was at least doing what she enjoyed, unlike before when she was forced to be the Saiō King and was worn out, using the Tempering of the Heart to the point of coughing up blood day and night.
Finally, she noticed the last participant in the team.
—Chu Wang Shu.
Charlotte frowned, realizing something was off. What was going on? Why did she feel the urge to pick this child up and hold her high?
Could it be that, just like everyone else forgot the past, she also had many memories that she didn’t recall?
The girl thought hard but still couldn’t imagine the shocking reality of her own daughter; otherwise, she would understand the ultimate secret of Chu Yuanqing’s embarrassment and realize that the Sea City show "Dazzling Stage" was a program where her husband, daughter, and best friend teamed up to be idols, leaving her behind.
After a long time, Charlotte gave up thinking. She decided to ask Chu Yuanqing in person and continued watching the show. Soon after, she saw Chu Yuanqing and Xie Qingxuan battling it out in "Dangerous Party."
It is worth mentioning that a certain super AI provided a stage version with more perspectives than the audience, revealing more ambiguous and strange little details, which would be considered a treasured video by "Qingcheng Qingguo."
"How did they kiss?"
"Little Qing has never kissed me!"
It’s too much! How could she play this kind of flirty game in public without waiting for me?
On Charlotte’s beautiful face, her cheeks nearly puffed up with anger; the scene reflected in her eyes made her think for a moment, and she believed this must be a stage mistake, so she decided to suppress her feelings and generously forgive the other person.
Then, she looked at the part where the mentor gave comments.
—Chen Baijiu, "I noticed that Chu Yuanqing, in a certain dance, used a different approach from the original version. Could you tell me if that kiss near the lips was a simple mistake or something planned in advance?"
——Chu Yuanqing, "It was prepared in advance."
?
This kiss wasn’t a mistake? It was prepared in advance?
So, how many times did you practice before you kissed?
Charlotte was shocked and confused. She rewound the video a bit and listened to Chu Yuanqing’s reply again. After opening the bullet comments, she saw a bunch of fans excitedly discussing the couple.
The girl grew more and more jealous, her cheeks puffing up like a pufferfish.
This is too much! How can they really not include me?
The worst part is, Little Xuan and Little Qing are just like this on stage. It’s okay for a show with cameras, but what would happen if they went traveling and stayed in a hotel?
"I am the main one!"
Charlotte said angrily, but then couldn’t help but smile. She looked out at the bright sunshine, and all her tiny feelings melted away in the happiness of this time, her eyes shining like clear jewels filled with hope and warmth.
The Last Diva took a deep breath, feeling both sour and happy inside. The smile on her lips grew wider. After watching the show and looking up her friends’ stories, this dreamy yet unreal New Game Plus seemed to settle in her like blood and bone, becoming something that felt truly reassuring.
Everyone was really still alive, just like before, as if they were all pulled together by fate to form a great team.
Although they were no longer a heavy and serious rescue team, wasn’t a girl group idol combined with magical girls also wonderful?
Rather, after going through blood and fire, and through countless tragedies and sacrifices, the New Game Plus created should be like fluffy clouds, sweet like sugar.
It’s best to leave the heaviness in the past; the future should be all about enjoying peace and embracing happiness.
And this was exactly the beautiful dream everyone had imagined at the beginning.
After Charlotte regained her memories and witnessed such a dream come true, the feelings in her chest—gratitude, bitterness, and joy—crashed like a tidal wave. Even the special edition made by Dream Weaver Rabbit, meant to stir things up, only added a touch of harmless jealousy.
Right now, she just wanted to see those familiar faces immediately, to share these incredibly complex feelings with her comrades who helped build this future together.
"Everyone may have forgotten that memory. Perhaps, like me, they can only remember it by relying on ‘the blooming flowers,’ but Little Qing definitely remembers, or else she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to ask for my contact information."
