The story of the Changyun Arc, in short, was Jiangjiang's Bizarre Adventure: Wild Ride Racer!

It was a bit short, though.

In the end, the rally was won by the clueless couple team. Halfway through writing it, someone asked if I was hiding them on purpose because they were the masterminds. But that was actually their escape route!

Now that Bailu has finally awakened, we've finally assembled a Magical Girl, a Kamen Rider, a Super Sentai, and an esper. (A-Shan, the normal person: ?)

It's basically a tiny snapshot of the whole setting... though we might still be missing a yokai and a dragon.

Ling Yi just got an Electronic Dragon tag added, but as everyone knows, Electronic Dragons aren't actually dragon-type.

The dragon name "Balafaruth" is a mashup of Valphalk, the monster, and Faluth. It has absolutely nothing to do with that Baal under Solomon.

The ability name "Coffee Moon" comes from a time-loop manga called Coffee Moon. It points back to Bailu's first incident.

Yep, the abbreviation is C-Moon. When I was writing the power, I even went back and reread that old popular science book on the history of quantum mechanics.

Visually, it's basically Paisley Park, except you swap the map for physics formulas and throw on a white lab coat.

Psychic powers don't come with a ghost included. Gu Xiangshi and Li Erpao don't have one. Bailu's is just something she molded with her power.

Think of it as her little-sister energy somehow syncing perfectly with Liu RuoYuan. On some subconscious level, she shaped a certain someone's "Stand" to protect herself.

But if even the appearance were copied from that person, it'd be way too maidenly. So it still has Bailu's own outline.

Also, since this isn't a harem, even though I'm really grateful to the big-shot reader who added this book to their list, I still had to ask them to remove it. A giant list with over ten thousand saves... but since it isn't a harem, there was no helping it.

My definition of a harem is that every supporting character exists for the protagonist, and without the protagonist, there'd be no book at all.

At the smaller end, that makes the supporting cast slaves with no selfhood. At the larger end, they're just products with cute-character tags slapped on. It's basically textbook individual hero worship.

Master Ye is strong, sure. But even if she suddenly died one day, the others would still carry on her will.

Even if Master Ye had never existed from the very beginning, Ling Yi, Bailu, Lu Yao, and Professor F would still meet eventually, and they'd still work together for a better future.

That's the idea I want to express in this story. So I don't think "harem" is really the right word... though later on, they'll still keep coming up with new ways to bully Master Ye together...

Huh? Wait, is that a harem after all?

...No, I've got it. It's Manga Time Kirara!

Anyway, the male characters are hard-capped at comrades-in-arms, and all the girls will eventually start bullying Master Ye. Beyond that, feel free to interpret it however you want. My brain's already shut down.

Next should be a warm, everyday stretch, back among family and comrades. The Sovell Conference, Christmas, New Year...

We'll solve a few little daily mysteries on the way, too. Nice and easy, a lighthearted yuri comedy.

See you in Volume 7.
