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

Everyone was sitting at the same table, negotiating openly and honestly. Since Hong Moli claimed to know how to control the Black Magic Pattern, there was no need for her to hide anything. In fact, revealing it would better demonstrate her sincerity.

"I see. So it's not just about controlling the influence, but eliminating it." Hong Moli nodded thoughtfully, glancing at Yuuki Yuki and then at Tomoe, with an expression of understanding.

"Then what is your method for controlling the Black Magic Mark?" Although Yuuki Yui didn't mind that Baqi knew about her ambiguous relationship with her, she still felt uncomfortable being looked at like that, so she asked.

“Our method is certainly not as thorough as yours, but it’s enough to control the influence of the Black Magic Mark on us.” Hong Moli made a vivid analogy: “For example, if we compare our magic to a house, we will constantly generate garbage when we live there. If we don’t manage it, the garbage will soon be everywhere.”

"Our method is to use a cabinet in the room as a trash can. We just throw any trash into the trash can. This way, as long as we don't open the cabinet, the trash won't fall out, and the room will stay very tidy."

"But once you open that cabinet, all the trash will fall out, and it will be a hassle to clean it up. But there is one advantage, though: we can choose which cabinet to use. In other words, we can control the black magic runes to amplify which desires to a certain extent."

"I'm fine as long as I have something to eat," Hyakki Chiyu interjected.

“That’s right. Qianyou has always loved to eat, so just focus the influence of the Black Magic Mark on her appetite,” Hong Moli added.

"And what about you?" Inuyama Tomoe asked casually.

"Ah..." Hong Moli's cheeks flushed slightly when she was asked this question, and she stammered, unable to give an answer.

"The liberation of the gods." Yuuki Yuen answered the question for Koumori: "Because the liberation of the gods generates too much garbage, your cabinet can't hold it all, right?"

“That’s right.” Hong Moli gave her a grateful look and nodded.

Yuuki Yui had wondered why, among so many magical girls, only Koumori had to pay the price of divine liberation, as if it were designed to be a forced bonus. It wasn't until she heard Koumori's explanation that she finally understood why Koumori would become so thirsty after using divine liberation.

So it seems that Koumori has been enduring this all along.

When Yuuki looked at Koumori, who seemed completely unaffected, a hint of admiration unconsciously appeared on her face.

"Xiao Yuan, what is she saying?" Ba Qi glanced at Bai Gui Qian You's calm expression again, then looked back at Yu Cheng Yuan, as if she was the only one who was kept in the dark, and moved closer to Yu Cheng Yuan.

Yuuki Yui explained with incredible patience, detailing each step: "After she activates her divine liberation, she'll really want to [beep—], and then she'll need to [pop—], actually [du—] is also fine, and so on..."

Koumori thanked Yuuki too soon; Yuuki really is a devil.

Moreover, Yuuki Yuen was right; she had indeed [beep—] with Chiyu, and often did things like [du—], and had also done things like [whoosh—] that Yuuki Yuen hadn't mentioned.

"Okay, I'll continue!"

Koumori quickly changed the subject that Yuuki Yuki was discussing.

She couldn't listen to these two guys continue. Hong Moli was willing to say these things in a relaxed and reckless manner under the influence of the atmosphere, and she was also worried that if this atmosphere was broken, she would not have the courage to say the same things again.

Her current ease was like the feigned composure of a prisoner about to be executed; in reality, Hong Moli was extremely flustered.

You should say everything you need to say before you regret it.

Hong Moli then began her story, which took place a few months after she officially joined the student council.

Kuroba Laisei, currently the student council president of Seiyuu Academy, suddenly missed one day. The school's explanation was that he had suddenly fallen ill, causing a huge uproar throughout the school.

That day, Hong Mali also sensed that the president's magic power was together with a special kind of magic power. Perhaps the president had something to do.

Hong Moli didn't take it to heart. She didn't care about anything at school other than studying or things related to Hyakki Senyou.

The president returned to class the next day, but he seemed like a completely different person.

Kuroba, in his next life, spoke of establishing a new order and overthrowing the existing corrupt system—these were all vague statements. He then established the rudimentary form of the current organization, transforming a group of corrupted magical girls who were initially just friends into a complete organization. He then launched a massive campaign to recruit and eliminate corrupted magical girls.

"My ability allows me to sense the scent of other people's magic and thus lock onto my prey. It's like being a real vampire, which is quite convenient. It's the same principle that I've been able to find Yuuki Yuki every time." Hong Moli explained her ability frankly. "The president used my ability to find several corrupted magical girls who had appeared in the city, and then sent me and Chiyu to increase our companions."

“Yes, the guild leader told me that all I need to do is increase my companions,” Hyakki Chiyu added.

There's not much to tell in this story. It started with a simple attempt to win them over, but most of the corrupted magical girls were arrogant and proud. After being influenced by the black magic runes, they had done countless despicable things. When they heard that some unknown organization wanted to recruit them, they all launched attacks with disdain.

The outcome of the battle was obvious: with the combined efforts of Koumori and Hyakki Senyou, no one could achieve victory.

Saying that she would give them another chance, Hong Moli and her companion left their defeated opponents behind.

After all this commotion, it wasn't that no one wanted to join, but those who succumbed to force were too weak and were killed by the magical girls.

"Those two women are quite formidable. Many magical girls who joined us have been defeated by them. That's why the president gave her so much leeway when he learned that even she had fallen into darkness. Otherwise, he would have ordered us to take action immediately."

Hong Moli casually added a sentence.

At first, Koumori and Hyakki Senyou acted together, which was indeed very efficient.

One day, after finishing their work for the student council, the president casually said this to Hong Moli.

"If they still don't want to join, then kill them."

Unless they are exceptionally powerful, corrupted magical girls are unlikely to escape the fate of being judged by magical girls. Even if they are eliminated, they probably won't complain, right?

In fact, ending a magical girl's life with one's own hands is far more terrifying than Hongmo could have imagined.

But when a certain corrupted magical girl went from disdain for the expressionless Koumori before the battle to cursing her after the defeat, and then fawning over Koumori, begging for forgiveness and constantly licking Koumori's shoes to beg for mercy, until she was completely manipulated by Koumori's blood-like magic and lost consciousness, Koumori finally felt fear.

This was the first time Hong Moli had witnessed the fate of a corrupted magical girl, and the first time she had thought about such things. She was afraid of what would happen if she were defeated, afraid of what would happen if Qianyou were defeated, and afraid of what would happen if Qianyou knew that she was doing such dirty things.

In the room, Hong Moli, who was sending the defeated to heaven, felt as if she were only separated from the outside world by a wall. She had no idea what was happening inside, and Hyakki Chiyu, who was still eating snacks, seemed so far away.

So, she went to the president without permission and told her that she no longer wanted to do this kind of thing.

"Back then, the president wasn't as crazy as she is now; she just casually agreed to Koumori's request."

In fact, the organization has only had four people since its inception: besides Hong Moli, who has hardly ever met anyone, there is the chairman, Bai Gui Qianyou, and himself.

Until recently, the organization still only had these four people, and the chairman, who had not made any progress, began to intensify his actions.

When the president found Koumori again, he ordered her in a threatening tone that she should do it, or else she would be treated like any other magical girl.

Koumori couldn't defeat Kuroba Reise, but Kuroba Reise wasn't as ruthless towards Koumori either.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive." After the president won the victory, the arrogant Kuroba Laisei apologized to Hong Moli and explained his predicament.

Hong Moli believed it, and that was the beginning of her nightmare.

Hong Moli suggested that she was fine on her own and didn't need Bai Gui Qian You to come with her.

This action exposed Hong Moli's weakness.

Of course, Koumori wasn't always able to complete the tasks assigned to her by the president.

At first, the president only gave Hong Moli a few ordinary criticisms, but later she suggested that they should continue to act with Bai Gui Qian You.

This was also rejected by Hong Moli, who insisted that she alone was enough.

The turning point started with that sentence.

"If we fail again, we will have to accept the punishment."

After that, Kuroba Laisei seized on Koumari's weakness, and she did incredibly dirty things on her own, just like the president did to her: threatening and coercing, and then getting those who resisted to join or be defeated.

The dirtier it was, the more afraid Hong Moli was of getting Bai Gui Qian You involved.

However, the president would occasionally call Hyakki Senyu to the student council room, as if he were calling her there as well. This made Koumori convinced that the president could also control Hyakki Senyu, and made her even more afraid to resist Kuroba Reisei, this demon.

Punishment, protecting Hyakki Senyou, and sending those magical girls who rebelled against Kuroba Rebirth to heaven one by one—this is how Koumori's life as a magical girl is constantly repeating itself.

Repeating this, they dared not resist for fear of Bai Gui Qian You, until the chairman became even more ruthless, punishing and threatening them even more excessively.

Even now, Yuuki Yuki has forced me to reveal these truths.

He recounted the vile things he had done and what he had lost because of his wild thoughts.

"How stupid." After finishing her story, Hong Moli exhaled a long, relieved breath, as if all her strength had been drained, and leaned back on the sofa.

“Yeah, that’s really stupid,” Yuuki Yui chimed in.

Yuuki Yui initially thought that these corrupted magical girls would have some tragic and deep-seated developments, that the student council president was very cunning, and that Koumori had experienced some kind of tragic past.

None of that. It's like children playing house, getting to where we are today for some extremely childish and boring reasons.

That's so naive. It's as absurd as a company chairman poisoning his business rival's water.

The problem is that it actually happened. Whether it was poisoning a business rival or using such a naive method to actually control Hong Moli and Bai Gui Qianyou, it all actually happened.

Kuroba Reincarnation, this woman is truly audacious. She dares to carry out a plan that is like walking on a tightrope, where the slightest mistake could lead to its collapse.

How arrogant!

Perhaps it's not like that. Even if this lie is exposed, it doesn't matter. In the game, Kuroba Reisei, as the final boss, really has the strength to support her arrogance.

Before considering how to resolve the issue of Kuroba's reincarnation, there is still the problem of this poor child who has been greatly deceived because of naive reasons.

Of all the people present, the most nervous must be Hong Moli herself. Having revealed all the truth she had been hiding, Hong Moli is like a prisoner pretending to be relaxed in front of the execution platform. But when the executioner's gun—Hyakki Chiyuu's gaze—is pointed at her, all the pretense of ease she had shown will be exposed, and she will be anxiously waiting for the final judgment like a child.

Hong Moli's heart was pounding so hard it drowned out all other sounds. Each heartbeat felt like a heavy punch to her brain, plunging her into darkness.

Amidst the rapid pounding of Hong Mori's heart, after listening to the entire story, Hyakki Chiyu slowly spoke: "Mori, did you do this to protect me?"

"Hmm..." Hong Moli nodded with difficulty, her eyes fixed on the table, not moving an inch, worried that her gaze would meet Bai Gui Qianyou's and expose her guilty conscience.

"The harm you caused to others, the punishment you received in your next life, and the way you hid all of this from me—it was all because you wanted to protect me, wasn't it?"

Hyakki Chiyuu spoke without any emotional fluctuation, just like when she was talking to her at school, when she threatened Yuuki Eri and Inuyama Tomoe, and before she was having an intimate encounter with Koumori in bed.

"Moli, your protection is just wishful thinking on your part. I have never needed your protection."

Chapter 49 I'll be waiting for you at St. Yuu Academy

Hong Moli and Bai Gui Qianyou were from two different worlds from the very beginning.

Bai Gui Qian You can be herself as she pleases, eat what she wants, do what she wants, and choose the life she wants to live at will.

But Hong Moli is different; there is an insurmountable barrier between them, a barrier of origin.

Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, enjoying a life of luxury; others are born with their hands firmly planted in the soil, living a simple and unpretentious life.

Some people are born into a position of great importance, easily able to reach things that many people can never achieve in their entire lives.

In Hong Moli's eyes, Hyakki Senyou is such a person.

Among such people, many rely on their innate talents to stand on high and point fingers at those who cannot reach their level, arrogantly saying things like, "As long as you work hard, you can definitely be like me."

Because such people exist, Hong Moli hates Bai Gui Qian You very much.

Although Hyakki Senyou is not that kind of child.

Success does not necessarily mean hard work, and hard work does not necessarily mean success. This is something that Hong Moli knew from a very young age.

But without hard work, success is impossible, and Hong Moli is well aware of this, so she has never given up trying.

When Komari was very young, she rarely had the chance to enjoy the joys of childhood—friends, games, television programs, none of these things that are almost synonymous with childhood were available to her, and she even had very few opportunities to go out and play.

"See those kids outside? They're all unambitious and will never amount to anything. You can't be like them." That's what her family told Hong Moli, and that's how they brainwashed her.

Even as she grew up, she never understood why her family was so strict with her.
