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

Yuuki sighed, looking at the chaotic scene below with a complicated expression, and held her head, on the verge of tears.

"I originally planned to come last night, leave a message, and then go back. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?"

"Then why not do it? Wasn't it fine to come out last night?" At this moment, Baqi added fuel to the fire, asking innocently and without any malice.

Soon, news stories about a pink demon appearing in the city center, causing numerous injuries, and other egregious incidents will be rampant on the internet.

The increased infamy level is a double blow to my plan to clear my name!

"What do you think? Who was it that made me open my eyes when it was already the next day?" Yuuki Yuuki gently punched the top of Baqi's head.

Originally, the mana replenishment by Baqi and Yuuki was quite gentle. Baqi was always careful not to get too excited and cause Yuuki, who was already badly injured from the fight, further damage.

Yes, that was what Baqi originally thought, but when she saw Yuuki covering her flushed face with her arm in a shy manner, the coy reluctance in her tearful eyes made her unable to refuse. Instantly, her rationality evaporated and she transformed into a raging lewd wolf, and the two of them began to do it to their hearts' content.

Then, when Yuuki Yuki woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

If Yuuki Yukino's current appearance were seen by the person who had just transmigrated to this world, she would definitely be furious.

Please, you're only trying to clear your name because you don't want to get humiliated, right? Why are you enjoying this kind of thing so much now?! —I'm sure the old Yuuki Yukino will say that about you, right?

For Yuuki Yuuki, the current attempt to clear her name is more of an obsession than a means to prevent herself from being humiliated.

Forget it, let's just finish what we need to do here and leave quickly.

Yuuki sighed again, pulled the speaker by its tentacles and hoisted it in front of her. Then, Yuuki reached out and turned on the speaker. Lively electronic music came out of the speaker, but it was quickly drowned out by the noise of people fleeing.

"We probably don't need to play the intro, right?" Baqi reminded her.

Yuuki Yuuki manipulated the device a few times, and then an emotionless electronic voice synthesized by AI came from the speaker.

"Citizens of Moonsea City, I hereby announce that we will bring you a surprise this weekend. I repeat, we will bring you a surprise this weekend."

"At the grandest banquet, let me repeat, at the grandest banquet, please look forward to it."

"Xiaoyuan, why do you keep repeating the same thing over and over again?" Baqi asked in a low voice.

"Isn't this impressive? This is called the repetition method. It's said that repeating it once can increase memory by more than 60%." Yuuki Yuen controlled the tentacles to click off the power of the speaker and answered softly.

Where did this data come from?

“I searched on a search engine and found some results saying 90%, but I didn’t believe them.”

"Uh... okay, but it feels so undignified. Aren't villains supposed to be cold, ruthless, and taciturn?"

"This is a great opportunity to leave others with a friendly and approachable impression, you know? I don't want to be seen as some kind of calamity, with people running away as soon as they see me. That's too much for a girl to accept!"

"Is this really being kind and approachable...? Never mind! Whatever Xiaoyuan says is right! Let's head to the next place!"

So, at the second location, near the nearly renovated Moonsea Tower, Yuuki Eri once again carried a loudspeaker and shouted her name around.

Then, in the third place, a bustling commercial street, they played the audio recording again.

Just as Yuuki Yukino was about to reach her next destination, someone blocked her way.

The first thing that catches the eye is a golden lightning spear that shoots from beneath Yuuki Enishi's feet, scorching the staircase made of tentacles and piercing through a large hole in it.

This period of time was enough for Yuuki En to make a corresponding reaction. As soon as the lightning spear touched the tentacles, Yuuki En and Tomoe sensed a dangerous aura.

Without needing any prompting, the two simultaneously stepped back a few paces, causing the sneak attack to miss its target. The lightning spear, crackling with electricity, streaked across the sky in a golden arc and disappeared into the horizon.

That lightning spear must have been made by Helica.

After the lightning spear missed its target, Yuuki Yukino did not see any further attacks.

Rather than a sneak attack, this lightning spear was more like a warning, a reminder that the people who came to stop Yuuki Yukino had arrived.

Three magical girls, dressed primarily in yellow, green, and blue, each held their own wands and formed a triangle around Yuuki Enishi, positioned slightly higher than where she was currently standing.

Ah, it's finally here. This is what I've been waiting for.

Yuuki Yukino finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Simply playing loudspeakers throughout the city like a politician giving a campaign speech is enough to create anxiety among the masses and also to get the festival organizers to take it seriously. When Kuroba Reincarnation starts causing trouble, tourists who have this expectation should be able to take refuge more quickly.

When dealing with Kuroba's reincarnation, one cannot disregard the lives of others. To protect Kurenai and the others while ignoring the lives of others is not Yuuki Yukino's original intention.

Of course, there are other reasons as well, such as one of Yuuki Yukino's purposes being to lure out these magical girls.

To achieve her goal, Yuuki Eri must use everything she can, but just as she wants to protect the safety of ordinary people, she cannot disregard the lives of others and drag these people into the battle with Kuroba Reisei.

If Helica is too weak, dragging them into this would only be a pointless death, so it would be better to find another way.

If something really happens to them during the battle with Kuroba Reise, wouldn't that go against Yuuki Yukino's original plan?

Moreover, Yuuki Yuki cannot guarantee that if a real fight breaks out, these people will not target her first because of personal grudges; given Helica's personality, this possibility is very high.

Therefore, Yuuki Enishi needs to see for herself how much her Nijisanji friends have improved after the entire holiday.

This isn't something she could find out simply by smilingly calling out the other members of Nijisanji without transforming, so Yuuki Yuuki has to do it herself.

Moreover, actual combat is the best way to improve strength. Aren't many people who suddenly become powerful and unleash their full potential in actual combat?

There's another small reason for choosing this day to take action: there's still almost a week until the festival begins, and regardless of which side is injured in today's battle, they should be able to fully recover before the festival starts.

But it's true, if they hadn't been so distracted by Baki, the chaos caused by operating at night and starting the battle would have been much smaller.

Yuuki Yui thought for a moment, then lowered her eyes to look at Helica, preparing to say some opening lines befitting a villain.

Their eyes met, and then the two wands came together.

boom--

Herica's warhammer was deflected, and the replica in Yuuki Yuuki's hand was missing a large chunk, the fictional hammerhead shattered into several pieces, and it was clear that it could no longer be used.

What's wrong with Helica?!

Before transmigrating, even the most hot-tempered person would engage in a dialogue like, "What are you looking at?" "What's it to you if I look at you?" "Try looking again?" "Fine, I'll try." before taking action.

He only glanced at Helica, and she attacked him? That's a bit too crazy, isn't it?

But it's not bad, anyway, I really came here to fight today.

Helica prefers hand-to-hand combat to manipulating lightning, which is why she charged forward wielding a lightning-infused warhammer.

But Yuuki Yuuki didn't have that kind of interest. After blocking Helica's attack, it was time for her to take the initiative and fight back.

The imaginary wands tilted down from behind Yuuki Yuuki, raining down on Helica. Helica raised her warhammer, along with a curtain-like barrier of lightning that was repeatedly pulled up, repelling the wands fired by Yuuki Yuuki with crackling sounds.

Helica's move was like firing the first shot, and the other magical girls followed suit.

On this ordinary weekday morning, the conflict among the magical girls sets the stage for an extraordinary week ahead.

Chapter Ninety-Eight Senior, why are you just looking at me?

Helica is actually very competitive. Whether it's academic performance, magical girl-related matters, or even practicing guitar after the band ends, she always works hard on her own.

Yuuki already knew about this in the past. Although Helica's personality was terrible, her hard work made her likable.

Yuuki En could guess that Helica, who had been severely beaten by him several times during the holiday, was definitely unwilling to accept it and was still training hard to improve her strength.

When Helica suddenly came to Yuuki Yuuki one night to replenish her mana, she said something similar to Yuuki Yuuki herself.

Yes, Yuuki knew that Helica must have grown, but the speed of Helica's growth was beyond Yuuki's expectations.

The current Helica is much stronger than when he bullied her so badly before.

Each hammer blow and each lightning strike was vastly different in force and speed from her past self.

In that case, it might actually be helpful in dealing with the matter of Kuroba's reincarnation.

"You've gotten stronger." This strength made Yuuki Yui not mind praising Helica, who was now her opponent.

"Ha, it's really complicated to be praised by someone like you." Helica curled her lip. "More than praise, I'd like to hear your lamentations, you bastard!"

"Why is this guy like this? I was praising her, why is he scolding me?" Yuuki Yukino was furious.

“Compared to someone like you who doesn’t know what you’re thinking and only knows how to hurt others, I have people I must protect!” Herica’s warhammer broke through the defense and smashed straight down on Yuuki Yuki’s face.

To protect those she cares about and to prevent the tragedy of the past from repeating itself, this determination became Helica's nourishment. With a clear goal of becoming stronger, the magical girl's growth will advance by leaps and bounds.

At least in terms of the desire to become stronger, Yuuki Enishi's desire to help Koumori is not as strong as Helica's.

Two tentacles holding the serpent staff struck the side of the warhammer, deflecting the falling attack. Yuuki Yuuki herself dodged to the side, creating distance once again.

The most important thing right now is to figure out how to get away from Helica.

Helica has indeed become much stronger, but Yuuki Yukina is also constantly improving. The current Helica is not enough to defeat Yuuki Yukina.

"You bastard! You've been wreaking havoc in the city! Do you even know how many casualties you've caused today? You bastard!"

casualties?

No, what do those guys who tripped and bumped into have to do with me? I was just passing by above the city, wasn't I?

"Those things have nothing to do with me! They were just running away accidentally after seeing me!"

"What about those car accidents!"

Isn't it the same?

"What about the nurses and patients you injured in the hospital who are still in a coma?!"

A nurse? What is a nurse? I have absolutely no idea about this!

But Yuuki knew that she must have gone to the hospital that day, which is why she took the blame for Kuroba Kiyomi.

Very good, now there's another reason to want to defeat Kuroba Rei.

The dull thuds of impact and the hissing of electricity as wands were intercepted by Helica's electric grid rang out in succession, and the battle was escalating further.

"Speechless, huh? You monster!"

The seemingly heavy warhammer in Helica's hands was like a windmill, forming an impenetrable wall that not only defended against Yuuki Enishi's attacks but also occasionally unleashed a few hot lightning bolts in retaliation.

"What on earth are you plotting?!"

Yuuki Yuuki's offensive is now even more ferocious than when the battle began. While dealing with the rain of magic wands summoned by Yuuki Yuuki, Helica still manages to speak.

Isn't it obvious that they have a backup plan?

Although Yuuki Yukino hasn't used her full strength yet.

However, this is even better. The stronger Helica is, the more confident Yuuki Yukino will be in dealing with the matter of Kuroba's reincarnation.

"What I'm planning, I'll just have to see for myself when the time comes, won't I?"

Yuuki Yuki intensified her attack, her lurking tentacles aiming at Helica's blind spot from even more cunning angles, launching a surprise attack.
