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

It seems a little strange to say that about myself.

But this outfit really suits me.

Having done all that, Yuuki Yukino finally took out the last item from the box.

At the very bottom of that box, there was something small, yet absolutely impossible for Yuuki Yuuki to ignore.

A small red string ring woven together.

Yuuki Yukino picked up the ring and slipped it onto her little finger.

With that, everything was ready.

The magical fluctuations flashed by, and the complete magical armor was put on Yuuki Yukino's body.

Yuuki Yukino pushed open the door, then walked to the door of the next room and gently knocked.

"Who?"

Herika's voice came from inside the room.

"it's me."

Yuuki Yukino answered through the door.

Perhaps there was a wonderful unspoken understanding between the two that allowed them to recognize each other without needing to say a word.

A clear magical energy emanated from the other side of the room, signifying that Helica, the Thunder God, had completed her transformation.

The door lock turned, and then the room was opened a crack. Helica peeked out from the crack with one eye, which swept over Yuuki Yuuki after she transformed.

The door was pulled open even wider. Helica closed her eyes with a complicated expression, averting her gaze from Yuuki Yuuki, and let out a long breath.

When she opened her eyes again, her gaze was much softer.

"Come in."

"Thank you."

Yuuki Yukino responded and closed the door.

Helica ignored Yuuki Yuki standing at the door and sat down on the bed first, then patted the edge of the bed.

"sit."

Yuuki Yukino didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the bedside, lifting her demonic armor and sitting down.

As soon as Yuuki Yuki sat down, Helica couldn't wait to speak.

"You dare to come looking for me on your own initiative? You're something else."

In the past, Helica would have definitely not hesitated to swing her golden warhammer and smash the other person's head open.

Corrupted magical girls should be eliminated, but isn't this one a little different?

Although many things have been done, it seems that none of them have caused much harm.

The nurses at that hospital, and the patient, didn't seem to be the ones who did it.

After that night, Helica was unsure how to face the guy she had previously hated and even loathed.

Despite a voice constantly reminding Helica Tenrai that the other party was a corrupted magical girl, an enemy of magical girls, and must be eliminated.

But let's let her off the hook tonight.

Herlica's attitude was dismissive, but Yuuki Yuuki sensed that Herlica's mood wasn't actually that bad; on the contrary, Herlica seemed somewhat pleased.

"Tch, what's with this 'one person stays behind to cover the retreat' thing? Seriously, are you an idiot? Why don't you corrupted magical girls all stay behind to cover the retreat and get wiped out? Oh well, for this time, you did a good job."

Whether it was because Helica was as easy to understand as ever, or because Yuuki knew Helica well, it was hard to say, but Yuuki could sense that Helica was indeed in a good mood.

"She came by?" Yuuki asked, ignoring Helica's pointless tsundere remarks.

"Well, they asked me for some money, and then told me you were next door. You were unconscious at the time, so you probably didn't know who I was. And that's about it. Oh, right, you didn't see what I looked like before I transformed, did you?"

Helica clasped her hands together, crossed her legs, and casually wiggled her toes as she spoke.

“No.” Yuuki glanced at Helica’s expression, then turned her face back to the wall where the television, which was not yet turned on, hung. “Yeah, that’s what she told me too.”

"That's good. It would be so annoying if someone like you knew my true identity!" Helica didn't hide it from Yuuki Yuuki and let out a heartfelt sigh of relief. "Is everything over now? I don't think there's anything left for us to talk about, so why are you coming to me?"

"Don't I owe you an explanation?" Yuuki Yuuki chuckled softly.

“Oh, right, you idiot, you said something completely nonsensical and then rushed out like that. You really need to explain yourself.” Helica continued Yuuki Yuuki’s words, her tone still as tough as ever, but she seemed more like a bluffing kitten, not really aggressive except for her fierce appearance.

Herlica's aggression usually manifests in actual attacks; when she wants to attack someone, she doesn't just limit herself to verbal attacks.

“Our positions are different, but aren’t we really not that different?” Yuuki asked rhetorically.

"You think there's nothing different just because you say so? You're a fallen magical girl!" Helica interjected, "Fine, go on."

"Yes, I am a corrupted magical girl. If you want to fight me, I'm ready anytime. But magical girls shouldn't involve ordinary people in their problems. We can handle everything else, whether it's through conversation or with a wand."

"Yes, I agree."

"We all live in Yuehai City and have our own lives. If something unexpected happens to this city, it will be very distressing to see how our daily lives are affected, right?"

After saying this, Yuuki Yukino raised her head slightly and looked up at the sky.

Helica didn't know if she was looking at the ceiling or gazing up at the unseen night sky through the ceiling.

That jerk is so awkward. If he wanted to protect others, why didn't he just say so?

It's strange that a corrupted magical girl would stand up to protect ordinary people.

She wasn't just protecting ordinary people; at the time, this pink-haired, tentacle-wielding monster was probably planning to stay behind alone to deal with that winged guy.

Do you even want to protect us magical girls?

What a strange guy.

As Helica thought about it, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

“Ah, yes.” Helica answered after a long pause. “Then how did you know…”

Helica paused, then shook her head: "No, it's nothing."

Even if the pink-haired, tentacle-wielding, sadistic woman has information that he doesn't know, she won't tell him.

Perhaps they've fallen magical girls and are fighting amongst themselves? A conflict has arisen between a guy who wants to destroy the city and a group of people who just want to have fun and get by.

So, the pink-haired, tentacle-wielding monster girl plans to use her side to help get rid of that winged woman?

Although the truth may not be so, Helica felt that her opinion was pretty much correct.

At least, compared to this guy who often teases me and whom I hate to the extreme, I hate that guy who attacks ordinary people without any explanation.

It's not impossible to temporarily join forces to get rid of that despicable guy.

Besides, she wants to protect herself, so she's not that annoying, is she?

It's just a little bit, not that annoying, but overall it's still very annoying.

She even hanged herself up and whipped herself!

Helica shook her head, letting the jumbled thoughts escape her mind, and continued:

"My companions are safe."

Yuuki nodded, and then Helica added, "They separated from your companions during the retreat, so we don't know how your comrades are doing."

"Hmm." Yuuki Yui nodded again: "Aren't you going to help?"

"Why aren't you going? I have no magic left, what help am I supposed to give? Going there to my death? I finally managed to let them escape, now I'm going back to cause them more trouble? Save it." Helica's voice rose eight octaves.

"Besides, that woman's attack stopped. Otherwise, even if I had to drag this body with no magic left, I would have stopped her. After all, I'm a magical girl, which is different from you guys."

Yuuki Yukino chuckled again, thinking that Helica's words sounded too much like what she had said to Lava Lantern not long ago.

In this strange place, they maintained a mysterious tacit understanding.

"What are you laughing at?" Helica glared at Yuuki Yuuki again, seemingly misunderstanding Yuuki Yuuki's intention, and reluctantly changed her words: "Never mind, it's not that different. Like you said, when we're not magical girls, we're all just ordinary people. You helped us protect ordinary people, so, thanks."

"Aren't you planning to go and mess things up with that guy?" Yuuki asked.

"Wake up. If you still have magic, you can go if you want. I don't have any magic left, so I can't do it." Helica waved her hand.

“I’m not asking if you can, but if you want to,” Yuuki Yui continued.

"You can conjure magic out of thin air, can't you? Tsk, do you even want to be of any use..."

Helica stopped abruptly, her cheeks flushing bright red.

"You don't mean to say..."

"That's right, that's exactly what I mean."

Helica had guessed her own intentions, but she was still hesitant.

Yuuki Yukino certainly wouldn't come looking for Helica for no reason; if she wanted to meet, there would be plenty of opportunities after she transformed.

Tonight, at this time, Yuuki Yuuki will come to see Herika for only one thing.

"What? Are you scared?"

Herlica spoke fiercely, stood up, and pressed herself directly onto Yuuki Yuuki.

"Who! Who's afraid! It's just... it's just that kind of thing, right? I'll do it!"

Chapter 110 A good, satisfying fight in bed

Yuuki Yukino still has unfinished business and desperately needs magic power right now.

The fastest way to replenish mana right now is to replenish mana.

The only person who can replenish her mana now is Helica.

Yuuki had considered going to find Baqi and her group to replenish their magic power before dealing with the issue of Kuroba's reincarnation, but abandoned the idea due to the high time cost.

Moreover, there are too many variables involved in taking action without magic, which makes Yuuki Yuki feel very uneasy.

Besides replenishing mana, Yuuki Yuuki also considered other possibilities, such as directly using the magic plundering unique to fallen magical girls on Helica.

This is certainly a way to restore magic power, but Helica's magic power is already depleted, so there's not much worth it for her to use.

Moreover, such unfriendly behavior contradicts Yuuki Eri's original intention.

He had finally managed to change Helica's opinion of him somewhat. This was the result of his efforts over the past few months and a decisive step in his long-pending plan to clear his name. If he didn't cherish it, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
