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

Also, on the day of the festival mentioned by the mysterious person, will Saint Shion, the vice president of Saint Yuu Academy, actually show up?

These kinds of problems are things that are hard to ignore.

Speaking of Saint Shiyin, the existence of Saint Shiyin is somewhat strange.

Looking at the game's plot as a whole, it's actually not complicated at all.

Nishio Reki meets three magical girls, enters the world of magical girls, and defeats Miyashita Mia, who is harassing Tsukimi Middle School.

In the second semester, they faced a major event: an exchange meeting with St. Yuu Academy. They then discovered that Koumori and Hyakki Senyu, who frequently appeared at the meeting, were also corrupted magical girls, and so they eliminated them as well.

The following plot revolves around Seishin, but her role is similar to that of introducing the student council president of Seishun Academy. The overall plot revolves around the main characters' decryption and interactions, and then one day they defeat Seishin.

In the game, the scene shows Saint Shion collapsing to the ground, and then Kuroba Reisei runs out, saying that this is a provocation against me, and then beats up the main characters.

After a period of depression, the protagonist then defeats Kuroba Reisei, allowing him to live shamelessly with the beautiful girl he has the highest affection level with.

After being defeated by the main characters, Saint Shion simply vanished from the game world. Since the boss had already been defeated, no one cared where she went.

The hidden boss, Lava Lantern, is simply designed for players who want to experience a decent paper doll combat system even in adult games. If you lose, you watch a CG and reload to start over; if you win, you get a new CG. The combat difficulty is much higher than that of Black Feather Reincarnation, and that's all.

Therefore, the two characters that Yuuki Eri knows the least about are Lava Mountain Lantern and Seishin.

The reason why players know little about Lava Lamp is because her storyline is too fragmented. Unless you deliberately trigger it at a certain plot point every now and then, you will miss out on the storyline of this hidden boss.

The reason why we know little about Saint Shion is that she doesn't appear much. In the early stages, she's like an accessory, lazy and inattentive. She makes a brief appearance in the scene where Kuroba Reincarnation appears, and she remains lazy and inattentive in the later stages. She fights a few battles with the main characters and then falls down. Her presence is even less noticeable than that of the little ghost and the little vampire duo.

In the game, Yuuki Yuuki could ignore what kind of person Seishin was, but now that Seishin is her enemy, being so careless will make Yuuki Yuuki feel seriously uneasy.

What is that hymn I don't know doing now?

At this time, at the Holy Age Academy.

Saint Shiyin slowly stood up from the stone-paved ground, dusted off her nun's robe, and moved to the tall stone platform standing in front of her.

Saint Shiyin raised her hand and stroked the smooth stone platform that had been touched by countless people and now held only a candlestick. Her fingers, which she raised again, were free of any dust.

Below the platform, rows of stone benches flickered in the light of tall candlesticks on either side. Several girls, also dressed in nuns' habit, sat sparsely on the benches, their eyes closed, hands clasped together, and heads bowed in a gesture of prayer.

The nun's habit worn by the girls appeared more simple and unadorned compared to the one worn by Saint Shion.

Of course, any magical girl who enters this sanctuary will discover that the nun's habit worn by Saint Shion is actually a magical outfit.

At this moment, Seishin is in the form of a magical girl.

Saint Hymn began to speak, offering a complex prayer. The girl's gentle voice was devoid of her usual laziness or fervor, just as she spoke to her relatives and friends, reciting those incomprehensible words with a unique sense of holiness.

The girls below the platform also prayed in sync with the hymns, and time flowed quietly by in the sound of prayer.

Finally, Sheng Shiyin closed her lips and gently blew out the white candle on the podium.

Saint Hymn stepped down from the platform, onto the red carpet, turned around, raised her head wearing a nun's headscarf, and gazed at the stained glass window more than ten meters high behind the platform for a long time before walking out of the huge church.

After leaving the sanctuary, Sheng Shiyin climbed a series of upward stairs, turned several corners, and finally saw a ray of sunlight at the end of the darkness.

A heavy, open door, however, seemed out of place with the style of the Holy Age Academy.

"You really are here."

As the sunlight streamed into the room, Seishin saw Kuroba Laisei standing there with his arms crossed, as if he had been waiting at the exit for a long time. As soon as he saw Seishin's figure appear in the darkness, he spoke.

"Hmm." Saint Shion walked out of the door, turned around and closed it. Magical light flashed on her body, and her magical outfit transformed back into the Saint Yuu Academy dress uniform. The calmness on the girl's face was replaced by weariness.

"Is today Sunday?" Kuroba Reisei followed Saintess's steps.

"Haaah—" Sheng Shiyin yawned again, just like she always does: "It's none of your business. Sheng Youyu Academy isn't what it used to be. Go back to sleep."

Kuroba's purpose in waiting here was clear: "It's been over a week, haven't you taken Hong Moli's matter to heart?"

Saint Shion raised a hand and gestured in the air: "Didn't you say, President, that Hong Moli would show up? I've been waiting for so long, but no one has appeared."

"There was a battle between magical girls nearby that day. Don't you think you should go and see?" Kuroba Rise's tone was slightly displeased.

"What are you looking at? What if, as you said, Hong Moli comes and I can't stop her? Then you'll blame me, right?" Sheng Shiyin seemed oblivious to the gunpowder in Kuroba Laisei's tone, and walked on sleepily.

"Hong Moli, she was in that battle. You'll know once you take a look!"

"Haven't I been doing everything you said, Chairman?"

"you?"

"Hong Moli didn't come. Wasn't it your judgment as student council president that was flawed? Are you going to blame me for your own problems?" Sheng Shiyin stopped in her tracks. "Are you going to blame me for the things you don't want others to know, student council president?"

Chapter 85 A Sign of Unrest

"So, are you going to blame all your mistakes on me, Chairman?"

What should have been an aggressive interrogation was delivered lightly by Seishin. All the strong emotions that should have been there were hidden beneath her tired appearance. All that Kuroba could see in the afterlife was a childish guy complaining and shirking responsibility.

This attitude, compared to the usual indifferent Sheng Shiyin, shows a more assertive side.

"Never mind." Kuroba Laisei clicked his tongue lightly, walking past Seishin who was standing there as if nothing had happened, and continued walking forward: "School starts in a week. Before school starts, I must take care of Hong Moli."

"This is so troublesome." Saint Shion let out a long sigh and took a step. This time, it was her turn to follow the footsteps of Kuroba Laisei, who was walking ahead of her.

“I will create opportunities for you. All you need to do then is deal with Hong Moli,” Kuroba Laisei said.

"What about the hundred ghosts and a thousand spirits?" Sheng Shiyin asked in return.

"Just ignore her." Kuroba Laisheng quickened his pace.

Saint Shion slowly created a distance between herself and Kuroba Reisei, and together they walked into the secluded but meticulously maintained school garden: "Why doesn't the president do it himself? It's too much trouble for me to do such a troublesome thing."

"Because you are my vice president, and the person I trust most in this academy," Kuroba Laisei said without turning her head.

"Don't try to use the same tricks you used on Koumori on me. I heard everything clearly in my room how our high and mighty president was trying to train Koumori into her loyal dog. Do you think a president like that would easily trust others? Anyway—I don't believe it."

The hymn's tone rose and fell, just like her prayer in the underground sanctuary, her languid voice as if singing a soothing little tune.

"I'm being completely honest with you, my vice president. This isn't just empty talk; you're the person I trust most. I genuinely want to build a good relationship with you, which is why you became my vice president." Kuroba Laisei said, slowing his pace as if waiting for Seishin to catch up.

"President, don't you have any friends?" Saint Shion's steps, which lacked rhythm, never quickened. The distance between her and Kuroba Laisei had narrowed considerably, but she couldn't take another step forward, maintaining a subtle distance that was neither too long nor too short. "If you want to gain trust, you have to set an example yourself. If this continues, the president's rule will come to an end."

“I have no intention of ruling, and St. Eternal Academy has indeed become better since I became the student council president.”

"So, the president formulated a series of new rules, breaking the original rules of Saint Yuu Academy?"

“Outdated things will eventually be discarded, and only innovation can bring new vitality. Those rules and regulations will only slow us down. I am doing this for the good of St. Eternal Academy.”

"Sigh~ It's all for the good of St. Yu-Yu Academy, but every time the president plans to make new rules, he has never asked anyone else for their opinion—including me, the vice president. He says I am the future chairman of St. Yu-Yu Academy, but he has never considered my feelings. This is dictatorship, president."

"But you've never objected, have you? You've tacitly approved of my actions, haven't you?"

"It's okay to fool others with this kind of talk, but don't fool yourself. From the day you said you wanted to run for student council, I've said I was too lazy to deal with these things. I've never once said I condoned anything you did."

“I never intended to exercise any form of rule over this school, and I never will.”

"Oh dear, when I said 'rule,' I wasn't referring to the student council president, but to the magical girls. Right now, besides me, there's no other magical girl supporting you, president. Yet you still recklessly stir up trouble and expect me to do whatever you want without saying a word? Hong Mori is going to be killed just because she broke up with you. Isn't that too pitiful?"

"That's because the others are too weak to keep up with us, but you're different. You're my vice president, my most..."

"Stop repeating those words. Just tell me honestly why I have to do this kind of thing. Since you trust me so much, just tell me. I'm too lazy to think about it all."

“Alright, then I’ll tell you everything in detail.” Kuroba Laisei sat down on a bench next to the playground.

Saint Shion sat down next to Kuroba Laisei's shoulder.

"Have I ever told you about my future dreams?" Kuroba asked.

Saint Shine curled up on the bench like a small animal, hugging her arms and leaning against the back of the chair. "Of course, you said you wanted to become the prime minister of the country."

“Yes, I want to become prime minister. To bring new opportunities to this country. I can do it. This student council president position is my first step towards that future I aspire to.” Kuroba Reise said, “So Hyakki Senyou, she is indispensable to my future. If I build a good relationship with her, as her mother, she will definitely be able to provide me with more help. I should not only focus on the present, but also on the future, don’t you think?”

“Oh—” Sheng Shiyin responded noncommittally.

Kuroba Laisei's face turned cold: "But Hong Moli, this girl who hangs out with Hyakki Senyou. She was quite useful to control through Hyakki Senyou. But now she is an obstacle to Hyakki Senyou's future, and also an obstacle to my future. She even dared to break free from my control, so this academy doesn't need her."

"Hmm." Sheng Shiyin still didn't give any interesting response, simply replying with a soft "hmm."

"Saint, you know that if I personally harm Hong Moli, my relationship with Bai Gui Qianyou will be broken, right?"

"So, I'm going to do all this? Like you ordering Hong Moli around?" Sheng Shiyin never expressed any anger, asking in a very ordinary way.

"That's not it, I had no such intention." Kuroba Laisei was silent for a long time: "Saint, you may not understand the world of magical girls, nor do you understand the reality of magical girls."

"Oh." Sheng Shiyin chuckled and nodded. "I really don't know much about it."

"The memories and powers of magical girls will fade as they grow up. At the latest, around the time they graduate from university, all that is about magical girls will be completely forgotten. During this period, everything that happened will be modified and made reasonable by a force, a very mysterious force about magical girls."

"I didn't know such a thing existed."

"If I were to lay a hand on Koumori, even if Hyakki Senyou were no longer a magical girl someday in the future, her memories would be altered to show that she resents me. In that case, as long as I make the move, she will definitely hold a grudge against me. For the sake of my future, I absolutely cannot continue to lay a hand on Koumori," Kuroba Rise explained in a deep voice.

"So it's okay if she holds a grudge against me?" Sheng Shiyin asked.

"She doesn't know you're a magical girl too. As long as we do it discreetly, we can take this opportunity to win her back when Hyakki Chiyou is helpless and shift all the blame onto someone else. Saint, this is something only you can do."

Seeing that Saint Shiyin remained silent, Kuroba Laishi continued to persuade her, "Whether it's you or Bai Gui Qianyou, you are both very important to me. You are the future chairman of Saint Yuyou Academy, and I would never have any ill intentions towards you. If I become prime minister, I will need Saint Yuyou Academy to provide me with more talent, and you, as chairman..."

"Pfft." Sheng Shiyin chuckled, and after a while, she said softly, "Okay, I know, just take care of it before school starts."

Hearing that Saint Shion had finally agreed to his request, Kuroba Laisei breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"There will be a festival the day before school starts, and that will be the perfect opportunity for you. I will create the right moment for you; all you have to do is take action."

"Is the guild master planning to have me make a move at the festival?"

"Yes."

“Oh…” Saint Shion responded with a long sigh, “President, do you still remember the name of this festival?”

"A summer fireworks festival, something like that, right? Why did you suddenly think of asking about this?" Kuroba asked.

"No, it's nothing." Sheng Shiyin smiled. "Is there anything else, President?"

“No, my vice president, I trust you the most.” Kuroba Laisei said, standing up from the bench.

Under the gaze of Saint Shion, Kuroba Reisei turned and left.

Saint Shiyin lay down on the bench, yawning and closing her eyes.

"A childish, boring, and self-important woman." A girl's voice rang in my ears.

"Why should Miss Saint listen to this kind of woman? She's full of lies, arrogant, stupid, and every step she takes is utterly rotten. If Miss Saint hadn't secretly cleaned up her messes, she would probably be dead countless times over with that kind of brain." Someone chimed in, their tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Many students already have complaints about her, and if this continues..."

"Moreover, she not only didn't know the truth about the festival, but also went so far as to disrupt the sacred festival with her online images."
