Even if you're a corrupted magical girl, you still have to try to redeem yourself.

Inside the room, Hyakki Chiyu sat upright on the bed, her long, light gray hair cascading down her back, becoming the only thing covering her smooth back. A few strands of hair fell messily from her temples, covering the barren curves of her chest.

If Qianyou were the only person in the room, it wouldn't matter if the target was awake.

What's truly deadly is that right across from Hyakki Senyou, Hong Moli, whom he had just met during the day and tricked away with his cunning, was sitting there wearing only a thin nightgown, her cheeks flushed and her head bowed.

　Is Lin Jiu holding some kind of strategic meeting?

This thought was dismissed by Yuuki Yuki in less than a second. Although our little vampire is also blond, he is much more normal than a certain blond dwarf.

Got it, this must be the secret late-night conversations between young couples, right?

Yuuki Yui clearly saw Hyakki Senyu peek her head towards Koumori, seemingly saying something to her, which made Koumori's face turn even redder.

Then Hyakki Chiyu gave Hong Moli a little bird-like peck on the face. Hong Moli was slightly startled, punched the bed a few times with her little fists, and shyly turned her head towards the window.

It turns out that Hong Moli, who is usually so serious outside, would show such a shy expression at this time. You really can't judge a book by its cover.

Wait, did she just glance at me?

Yuuki quietly used her tentacles to pull the curtains back.

Could I be seeing things? What if the two of them didn't notice me?

As Yuuki Yuki pondered this, she manipulated her tentacles to secretly open an even smaller gap.

Through the crack, Yuuki En saw that Koumori's large face was almost pressed against the window, their eyes meeting.

"Excuse me." Yuuki Yuen muttered softly, expressionlessly controlling her tentacles to hook the curtains and pull them back, blocking Koumori's gaze that seemed to want to devour her.

This time, Yuuki Yui's wish was not fulfilled. She clearly felt a strong resistance from the curtains. With a whoosh, the curtains were completely pulled open. Kurenai Makoto, who was protecting her body with her arms, stood in front of the window, blocking Hyakki Senyu from the bed. At this moment, Kurenai Makoto was gritting her teeth and glaring at Yuuki Yui hanging upside down outside the window with shame and anger, as if her luck might change at any moment.

"How are you, Xiaoyuan? Don't make too much noise, or we'll be discovered."

Hearing the rustling of the curtains, Baqi asked softly, not forgetting to take the opportunity to remind Yuuki to be mindful of the noise.

"Without, without form!"

Yuuki screamed and unhesitatingly activated her True Name Release before answering Tomoe's question. As True Name Release was activated, a large number of tentacles extended from the grimoire, dragging herself and Tomoe away.

"Not good at all! It was a disaster! A complete disaster!"

"What on earth happened?" Bachi, who was being dragged and suspended in mid-air by the magic book, was still confused, swaying back and forth like a ball hanging on a string.

"Red Jasmine is here!" Yuuki Yuen said succinctly.

Even without Yuuki Yuki saying anything, Baqi saw it. Hong Mali had completed her transformation, pushed open the window, and chased after him angrily out of the room with a chainsaw in hand.

Having already been discovered, Yuuki Yukino no longer cared about hiding her tracks and screamed as she sped away.

Yes, they ran away, without the slightest hesitation.

Regardless of the strength of their fighting force or the number of people involved, being interrupted while others are being affectionate is enough to ignite a burning anger that one dares not face.

Two months later, Yuuki Yuuki felt the same adrenaline rush she had experienced when she was chased by Mizuno Yuuki during her first transformation.

Fortunately, no matter which time, they escaped without any danger in the end.

The downside was that they decided to make this quick and decisive when they ran away. Yuuki Yuki had her own casual clothes at home, but Baqi didn't change her clothes at all.

This resulted in Baqi being forced to wear only a T-shirt and go barefoot, maintaining a state of complete nudity, walking back to Yuuki Yuki's home under the knowing gazes of passersby, as if she were engaged in some kind of shameful play.

Later, according to a lucky eyewitness, she witnessed the pink demon appearing near the mansion of the Minister of a Hundred Demons late at night.

Not long after, the situation escalated into a major rainstorm that triggered a massive downpour in the entire Moonsea City. The Pink Demon then attempted to assassinate the Minister of the Hundred Ghosts, but escaped because the Minister did not return home that night.

There are also rumors that the pink demon and her companions had a falling out because of the failed assassination attempt, and some people even said that they saw the pink demon being chased for eight blocks by a magical girl wielding a chainsaw.

Since then, whether the Pink Demon's goal was to destroy or rule Moonsea City has been a subject of ongoing debate.

Yuuki Yukino once again felt that she was drifting further and further away from the path of clearing her name.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Summer Weather is Like a Young Girl's Mood

In conclusion, tonight's operation was a failure, a major failure! A complete and utter failure!

The main goal was to bring Qianyou back. Let alone bring her back, it would be good enough if Yuuki Yuki could run back unharmed and not be raped there.

If Yuuki Yui had run any slower, or if Koumori hadn't hesitated for a moment before transforming, she might not have spent the night in her own bed.

Moreover, this action has further damaged Yuuki Yuki's reputation among ordinary people. Combined with the heavy rain yesterday, Yuuki Yuki has become a new villain in the eyes of many.

After returning from outside, Baqi kept apologizing.

"I'm so sorry, Xiaoyuan! I didn't know it would turn out like this! I didn't expect Hong to be so clever as to anticipate our actions and wait for us there in advance, wanting to wipe us all out. Honestly, I underestimated her too much."

"I'm not angry with you anymore," Yuuki Yukino said, stroking Baqi's hair.

Yuuki Yukino never had the thought of blaming Baqi.

I hadn't even considered the various problems that might arise, nor had I made a thorough plan before going out to cause trouble with Baqi. That was my own fault.

If she could go back in time like the mysterious man, she would definitely slap her past self twice.

How could I have let Baqi lead me astray! This is the result of reacting to things as they come without a plan!

So she wasn't angry at Baqi, but at herself for being careless.

"But Xiaoyuan's expression doesn't look like she's not angry at all. She's been acting very strangely ever since she came back!"

To be fair, Yuuki Yuki wasn't that angry with herself. The plan, which was unreliable to begin with, had failed, so be it. The reason for her strange expression was that she had seen some indescribable scenes.

Experiencing something firsthand is one feeling, but seeing it in person is another.

If a pair of eyes appeared outside the window while Yuuki and Baqi were replenishing their magic, Yuuki would definitely seal the other person in a cement bucket and sink them into the sea.

Hong Moli had no idea about tonight's events. She only chased after Yuki Yuki in a fit of rage when they happened to be having a passionate and intimate conversation.

But let's not tell Baqi about this.

"It might rain tomorrow, why don't you stay until the rain stops?" Yuuki Yui was partly changing the subject to make Baqi give up asking why her expression was so strange, and partly genuinely inviting Baqi to stay overnight.

"Hmm—hmm—" Baqi pondered for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, "Alright!"

Although Hong Moli's speech when she found him in the business district could be called a declaration of war, he was the first to take the initiative, which meant that he had pushed the situation to an even more irreversible point.

Originally, Yuuki Yui didn't really intend to make peace with Koumori and the others. Anyway, they had to fight the BOSS sooner or later. Yuuki Yui wasn't naive enough to think that she could quietly enjoy the peace route after peacefully defeating the newbie BOSS Miyashita Mia.

I've not transmigrated into a game where a human little girl is lost underground, so where's the peace storyline?

Furthermore, Miyashita Mia is ultimately just a beginner boss. Red Mia and Hundred Demons are different; these dual-boss bosses in the game require players to devise strategies to defeat them.

Yuuki Yukari knew she didn't have the ability to fight two opponents at once, so she needed to consider bringing along a teammate, since she couldn't rely on anyone except Tomoe.

It seems that to resolve the threat posed by Hong Moli, we need to take a long-term approach and make a thorough plan.

While Yuuki Yukino was worried about Koumori's situation, Koumori was also worried about how to resolve Yuuki Yukino's problem.

She received another call from the president.

You messed up last night.

Sitting upright in an armchair, showing only her back to Hong Moli, the president got straight to the point.

The president was referring to last night, and Hong Moli could deduce that she was referring to the incident where Yuuki Yuki suddenly appeared outside the Hyakki family's window at night.

It seems the president doesn't know what happened during the day, but how does she know what happened at night?

When Hong Moli had a question, the president directly revealed the answer for her.

"It's already spread online, and they're saying you're her ally? When did our ally become so weak?" The guild leader chuckled, the laughter lasting a long time before finally stopping. Turning around in her rocking chair, the guild leader stared intently at Hong Moli: "Why aren't you laughing?"

“I don’t think it’s funny.” Hong Moli couldn’t possibly miss such obvious sarcasm.

"You know it's not funny, so why did you fail?" The president's smile vanished, and as she laughed, she slammed her fist, which she had used to cover her mouth, onto the table, causing the freshly brewed black tea to spill over the rim.

Hong Moli spoke only when the ripples on the surface of the cup of black tea subsided.

“There’s a reason for that, Yuuki Yukino…”

Since the chairman asked, Hong Moli answered truthfully. Coincidentally, Hong Moli also had something she wanted to know from the chairman.

Why get rid of Yuuki Yuki? Why did Yuuki Yuki know so many secrets that only she and the president knew? Why not find out about these things? Yuuki Yuki's existence has always been an unresolved knot in Koumori's heart.

But the president clearly had no intention of giving her that chance. Before Hong Moli could even begin her explanation, the president's tone suddenly turned cold.

Are you making excuses?

"No."

The president remains the same as always, only paying attention to what she wants to know, and refusing to learn about anything she doesn't want to hear.

Hong Moli will be responsible for any problems that arise.

"So what should you do?"

"I understand."

Taking off his clothes, picking up the whip thrown down by the student council president, and punishing himself—this has happened more than once.

This can't be the last time either.

The way of disciplining someone, like you're disciplining a pet, is probably to make yourself more obedient?

But I am a human being, never anyone’s pet, and I will never obey because of such a thing.

Faced with this punishment that completely shattered Hong Mori's self-esteem as a human being, she could only carefully collect those broken pieces of self-esteem and piece them back together into a false shell.

"Enough." The chairman shook his hand, and the sound of the whip echoing in the room stopped.

"I hope you understand that, Kurenai, Hyakki is on my side. If you can't accomplish this, then I'll have to ask Hyakki for help."

The president, who had stood up, walked to Hong Moli's side and patted her on the shoulder:

"You are the person I trust the most. I don't want to see you troubled by such a trivial matter. Regroup as soon as possible and finish the unfinished work. If you want to stand beside the demons, work even harder to demonstrate your value."

At this point, should we still pretend to be a kind and understanding senior?

Hong Moli lowered her head.

"Yes……"

Feeling dazed and confused, Hong Moli couldn't remember how she left the student council room.

All she remembered was that the sky over the playground was very dark, with dense dark clouds covering the entire sky. It should have been a sunny morning, but not a single ray of sunlight could be seen.

Summer weather is always so unpredictable, just like a girl's mood.

Even before leaving home in the early morning, the damp air, mixed with the smell of earth, was enough to make one feel oppressed.
