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

Ten minutes later, Yuuki Yukari was hanging in the center of the room like a swing. Her hands and feet were tied to the ceiling on either side, and her face, facing down, was less than half a meter from the ground.

This position is neither aesthetically pleasing nor vulgar, but it is somewhat shameful. You can tell that Mizuno Yu has no intention of having fun; she just wants to control Yuuki Yuki and prevent her from escaping, and humiliate her as well.

The moment Mizuno Yu picked up the rope, she was genuinely worried that the other person would create something inappropriate for children, but Mizuno Yu didn't seem to intend to do that. She even tucked the skirt that was hanging down due to gravity between Yuki Yuki's legs to prevent any accidental exposure.

But it's alright, I was just tied up normally... Yeah, right! I was tied up! This guy tied me up by turning the tables on me!

All her weight was concentrated on her hands and feet, and she soon felt a little sore. The only thing to be thankful for was that Yuuki Yuki's body was very light, so it didn't put too much burden on her limbs. Even so, the rough cotton rope that was stuck in her skin still left bruises on her fair skin.

To prevent Yuki Yu from shouting, Mizuno Yu stuffed a light bulb candy into her mouth.

That's right, it's one of those hollow hard candies shaped like light bulbs, which you can't swallow or spit out, and you absolutely can't bite through it until it melts to a certain extent.

This thing has never appeared in the game before. I really don't know where Mizuno Yu found so many strange and bizarre things to satisfy her morbid hobby.

“Okay. Then I’ll start from the beginning.” Mizuno Yu sat down again facing Yuuki Yuuki, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her neck.

"Waaaah!" Although Yuuki looked disheveled, she was still able to think calmly. After all, she still had the trump card of transformation. The worst outcome would be that she would completely break ties with Mizuno Yui through transformation.

“Yuki-kun’s behavior when he came in was a little strange. I wonder if you noticed?” Mizuno Yu put her hands together, looked Yuki Yui straight in the eye, and said slowly, “Yuki-kun always seems to be able to predict my thoughts. Every time I say something, Yuki-kun always responds in a very normal way. It doesn’t feel like we are communicating, but rather like Yuki-kun is cooperating with me to put on a show.”

"Aren't you being a little too perceptive?" Yuuki Yuen gasped, so shocked that she couldn't control the muscles in her face from twitching uncontrollably. She was sure her expression must have looked terrible.

"So, you must know me better than anyone else to be able to do this. I think it's very likely that this is my misconception, but based on this misconception, I've made a few assumptions."

Mizuno Yu stood up, squatted down in front of Yuuki Yui, and held up her first finger: "First, you want to join the archery club. But no matter how you look at it, that can't be the right answer."

“Second.” Then Mizuno Yu raised a second one: “You really went the wrong way, that’s impossible, I don’t think it needs any explanation.”

“Third.” Then he raised his third finger, hooking the rope with all three fingers: “You came here for me, or rather, for this.”

Yuuki Yukari's body swayed back and forth in the air as the rope was pulled, making her feel more like a swing.

“I thought this was the right answer, but it’s still not right. When I invited you, you rejected me again.” Mizuno Yu retracted three fingers together, curled her hands and gently sat down on Yuuki Yuki’s straightened back, pressing all her weight onto Yuuki Yuki’s body. She stroked Yuuki Yuki’s face with her palm, and slightly tugged at the stick of the light bulb candy, deliberately making Yuuki Yuki let out a series of whimpering sounds again.

"Therefore, the reason I did this to you is as follows: I think I can already guess who you are."

Chapter Twenty-Three: Isn't this misunderstanding a bit too melodramatic?

At this moment, Yuuki Yuuki felt that there was no part of her body that was not in pain.

My wrists, legs, back, and even my mouth stuffed with light bulb candy—my whole body was pushing me to the limit of unbearable discomfort.

Mizuno Yu's weight wasn't heavy, but the combined weight of the two of them put a huge burden on their bodies.

Even freedom is restricted; struggling is futile and may even have the opposite effect.

These physical pains were bearable, but Mizuno Yu's words plunged Yuuki Yuki's heart into despair.

"Now that I've guessed who you are, I don't need to be so polite."

Mizuno Yu pushed off the ground and actually swung on the swing.

Those few simple, unadorned shakes made Yuuki Yuki's limbs feel as if they were about to be torn off, and her brain was violently shaking.

This guy was just giving things away for free, how could he have such a ruthless side?

"We haven't finished our conversation yet, so I'll continue."

Mizuno Yui touched the ground with her toes, stopping her swinging motion. She stood up again and began to stroll around Yuuki Emi.

"Until I held your hand, until late at night, I wasn't entirely sure, but Yuuki-kun's reaction gave me more confidence in my guess."

“So,” Mizuno Yu held up four fingers in front of Yuuki Yui this time, “I have a new guess. Fourth, what you wanted to do failed during the conversation, or it has already been achieved.”

"Maybe you just want to make sure I'm here, maybe you simply need to be in touch with me, or maybe you've been doing something behind my back without my knowledge, or maybe you just want to stall me."

Mizuno Yu slowed her speech: "If this guess is true, the answer is obvious. I haven't had any conflicts with anyone at school, so there's only one kind of person who would contact me at this time."

Mizuno Yu's speculation was indeed correct. Although it was a bold assumption, her keen insight allowed her to accurately deduce Yuuki Eri's motives.

As expected, she was discovered. Her secret of being a corrupted magical girl was revealed in just one day. Although she didn't know how Mizuno Yu had managed it, she must have already deduced that one of the two people she had a dispute with at Tsukimi Park was herself.

Even though doing so might lead to utter ruin, there's no other way but to transform before the other party can do anything!

Yuuki Yukino began silently chanting "transform!" in her mind, preparing to seize the opportunity to transform and run away when no one was paying attention.

“Although I don’t know who bribed you or how you got the information about me, go back and tell the person who sent you that what I did to you represents my attitude.”

Upon hearing Mizuno Yu's words, Yuuki Yuki, who was preparing to transform, stopped.

Huh? What is that? What strange thing is Mizuno Yu saying?

"I may not be very old, but don't think that means I'll back down on company matters. I will protect everything I inherited from my father!"

Mizuno Yuu turned to face Yuuki Yuuki directly and uttered the most emotionally charged and impassioned statement of the day.

ha?

It seems there really is such a scene in the game? It's something like after Mizuno Yu's father passed away, the company was inherited by Mizuno Yu, and it was temporarily handed over to relatives to manage, but someone wanted to take over the company, or some kind of melodramatic business war plot?

Because its melodramatic plot is comparable to an 8 PM soap opera, and its simplistic business warfare is comparable to a tokusatsu film where the protagonist is the president of a robot company, I skipped all related content when I saw it while playing Yuuki En.

I came here for a story about magical girls! It's about girls being affectionate! It's risqué! Not some melodramatic plot!

Well, it's not appropriate to put on that cold expression when dealing with people sent by business rivals. It's normal to retaliate with tough measures, so it's understandable that Mizuno Yu did this.

But I'm not some character in a melodramatic business drama, why should I be made to look like this by you?

In Mizuno Yu's view, when Yuuki Eri was completely exposed, her emotions should have been resignation, frustration, or at the very least, a forced attempt to appear calm.

But none of these emotions were present; what Yuuki Enishi displayed was undisguised doubt and burning anger.

Mizuno Yuu keenly sensed the abnormality in Yuuki Yuki's emotions as soon as she entered the room; there was no way she could fail to recognize such pure feelings.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and as time passed, Mizuno Yu's confident expression gradually turned into doubt.

Did I... say something wrong?

Judging from the murderous look that Yuuki En gave her, she had indeed misunderstood something, and quite a misunderstanding at that.

Mizuno Yu was completely flustered. Even when she was doing things that didn't fit her image as an ice queen, she maintained her elegance and dignity, but now she was completely overwhelmed.

"Did I really... misunderstand?"

Another ten minutes later.

"I'm so sorry!!! I misunderstood Yuuki-kun! Yuuki-kun is good to me no matter what! Please feel free to scold me, hit me, it's fine! And tie me up! Yes! Treat me like you did before! Swing me on the swing! If you're not satisfied, I have a whip! Oh, and when you apologize, you have to take off your clothes, expose your belly, and bark like a dog, right? I'll do it right now!"

Mizuno Yu, who had just taken off Yuki Yui's tie, was still in the dogeza position, frantically kowtowing. If Yuki Yui hadn't reached out to stop her, she would have already started to untie the tie.

Even while apologizing, you don't forget to keep reminding the other person to reward you. Typical of you, always giving things away for free.

"Yuki-kun, why aren't you saying anything?"

Yuuki Yukari was both annoyed and amused. With such a large lightbulb candy stuffed in her mouth, she would have spoken up long ago if she could.

Her whole body ached so much that she didn't want to move at all. She really didn't know why Mizuno Yu liked this kind of thing.

There's no point in getting angry at the other person now. After all that fuss, she was exhausted. She listlessly pointed to the light bulb candy in her mouth.

"I know! I'll give myself one right now!" Mizuno Yuu crawled on her knees and started rummaging through her backpack, only to be stopped by Yuuki Yuuki once again.

When Mizuno Yu finally stopped her again, Yuuki Yu took out her phone, typed a few words on the screen and showed them to Mizuno Yu: "I came to see you for another purpose."

"Please forgive me! I was presumptuous!" Having mentioned her purpose, Mizuno Yu once again kept kneeling and bowed her head deeply, repeatedly hitting the ground with a heavy thud.

Mizuno Yuu guessed Yuuki Yuu's identity wrong and did something very inappropriate to her classmate, even revealing her own special hobbies. The image that Mizuno Yuu had always maintained at school was completely shattered in front of Yuuki Yuu, which shows that she really cares about these things.

"In that case, there's something I need to ask Mizuno-san to do." Yuuki Yui deleted the previous words and retyped them, then poked Mizuno Yui with her phone for a while before she finally looked up.

"If you'll forgive me, I'll do anything, even die a thousand deaths!" Mizuno Yuu hunched over, struggling to lift her neck, just like Yuuki Yuu had when she fell to the ground.

Yuuki Yukino tapped the screen a few more times, typing out a line of text.

"Be my friend."

Chapter Twenty-Four: As expected of me, so adorable!

"Making friends? Is that all there is to it? Don't I need to do anything else? Like, with a whip..."

Mizuno Yu was still worried and wanted to say something. Her flustered appearance was completely different from when she first appeared, but the fact that she didn't frantically bang her head on the ground showed that she had calmed down quite a bit.

Yuuki typed "No need, I just came to make friends with Mizuno-kun" on her phone screen, then held up her phone to show Mizuno Yu.

Making friends is a silly excuse, but it's definitely in line with the innocent and naive character of Yuuki Yuuki in the original work.

Originally, Yuuki Yui's purpose was to make friends, which wasn't wrong. Since it was typed on a phone, you couldn't hear the tone of her voice. In addition, Mizuno Yui lost some of her judgment when she was apologizing frantically. Mizuno Yui easily accepted this explanation that she came to make friends.

During Yuki Yuki's narration, she added some remarks such as "I feel that Mizuno-san has always been alone and lonely", "Mizuno-san must have a different side", and "Mizuno-san's appearance scared me, so I was embarrassed to say that I came to make friends".

Since she has a god-like perspective to some extent and knows information that others don't, it adds a lot of credibility to the storyline if she is the one to expose what Mizuno Yu herself said.

In short, after refusing to punish Mizuno Yu more than ten times, the matter finally came to an end.

Despite almost being knocked down, Yuuki Yukino was in a good mood, covering the bruises on her wrists with her shoulder bag and greeting her classmates who hadn't left school yet.

In gaming terms, Yuuki Yuuki isn't playing the original visual novel, but rather a sandbox game without any hints. All the storylines need to be triggered actively by herself. On her first day of school, she didn't miss a single plot point, which is quite an impressive achievement.

The process was full of twists and turns, but the result was smooth. That's a summary of her day.

The only pity is that there is still no news about the mastermind hiding in the school that she wants to find.

Up to now, the main storyline of the game has come to an end, followed by some harmless daily routines and waiting for the game's first villain to appear.

The villain's setup is quite simple: she attends the same school as Yuuki Yuuki and randomly attacks a lucky classmate after school each day to replenish their mana. The story takes quite a bit of time to find clues before finally catching her.

One day after school, the player will be presented with the option to go home with one of the three main characters. Then the villain appears, and the player and a magical girl who senses something is wrong chase after him. The trio reunites for the first time, but that's another story.

So even without the players' involvement, the three of them would have met at this point? Yuuki Yukino realized this too late. Before, she had just acted on whatever came to mind. If she had thought a little more about the subsequent plot, she wouldn't have made such a basic mistake.

Never mind, I'll find someone to build up my relationship with every day after school, and I'm sure I'll trigger the Liu Ling Er Ba Ba private plot someday.

As for the villain, Yuuki Yuuki, who has read the story, already knows his identity, so it's not a problem.

After leaving school, Yuuki went to Rei's house again. After finding nothing, she went straight to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner. Then she went home to prepare dinner. Because of the stereotype that green peppers in ACG works are hard to eat, Yuuki specially bought a few.

As it turned out, she thought it was indeed a stereotype, at least Yuuki Yuki enjoyed the stuffed green peppers she made herself for dinner.

Although this cooking method, which I brought from before my time travel, is not at all like ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games), it tastes good, that's enough.

What made Yuuki En a little uncomfortable was that the meat in the supermarket was almost all pre-cut and weighed, with unclear labels indicating the place of origin. This was very different from the ordinary vegetable market before her transmigration, where you could just point to a spot and cut it. In addition, it was almost twice as expensive.

After dinner, I would eat, take a bath, do homework, practice combing my hair, tying my tie, and putting on my underwear. Then I would spend a lot of time admiring myself in the mirror, looking beautiful in various kinds of underwear.

"Yes, as expected of me, so cute." Yuuki Yui nodded repeatedly, resting her chin on her hand, quite satisfied with her reflection in the mirror.

After two days, Yuuki thought she had become desensitized to her own cuteness, but she still felt a strange flutter in her heart when changing clothes.
