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

“That’s great, that’s great, I knew you could do it.”

"Have you finished spouting your nonsense?" Baqi stared coldly at Sheng Shiyin, as if the other party were a clown performing a farcical act.

Saint Shion's excitement subsided somewhat, but her ecstatic expression remained unchanged. As if Inuyama Tomoe's provocation had never existed, she turned her hands behind her back and said, "I don't intend to fight you, Inuyama Tomoe. There's still a possibility that we can shake hands and make peace. Come and discuss a condition with me."

"I have nothing to talk about with a murderer like you."

Inuyama Tomoe was unwilling to waste another word with Seishin and swung the gun blade at the ecstatic Seishin.

"What if I could show you Yuuki Yori again, perfectly intact?"

The blade stopped a moment before it touched Saint Shion's waist.

"What did you say?"

"I mean, I can let you see Yuuki Yuki, perfectly intact, unjudged, without any memory loss, unchanged, completely Yuuki Yuki herself." Seishin stood there without flinching, speaking in a narrative tone that was enough to shake Inuyama Tomoe.

"This is impossible!" Inuyama Hideki pressed the blade of her gun forward again.

“Nothing is impossible. If there are any problems with the Yuuki Yuki you meet, our deal can be canceled at any time.” Seishin moved closer to the gun blade, her clothes being ripped open by the sharp edge.

Baqi's hands trembled. She didn't know whether she should cut down and make Saint Shiyin become an empty shell like those nuns, or seize this tiny opportunity and, knowing that Saint Shiyin had her own plans, still reach this scheming deal with her.

Yuuki Yuki disappeared without a trace during the battle with her.

Perhaps, this is a hostage, a bargaining chip used to force oneself to reach some kind of deal.

Then there's nothing to hesitate about.

As long as Xiaoyuan is safe and sound, even if I fall into an abyss from which there is no return, Xiaoyuan will definitely rush there, reach out to me, and pull me back into the light.

She, Inuyama Tomoe, trusted Yuuki Yuuki so much.

In just a few breaths, Inuyama Tomoe had made up her mind.

"If what you say is entirely true, I have one more condition."

"I'm all ears."

Chapter 113 Let's go back to the battlefield, young girl!

While Yuuki Yuki was still at the hotel, she felt an incredibly familiar magic appear in a corner of the city.

Both the aura of magic and the location indicated that the magic was indeed Inuyama Tomoe's.

Yuuki Yukino's impression of Inuyama Tomoe should not be that powerful or violent.

Even if all of these can be explained, why did Baqi choose to transform at this particular moment?

Has he encountered danger? Has he been caught by Kuroba Reisei?

However, in the same direction, Yuuki Yuuki could only sense one magical reaction.

All these unusual occurrences left her completely baffled.

But just now, that captivating magic suddenly vanished.

What exactly happened over there?

The series of unusual events caught Yuuki Yukino's attention.

Yuuki Yui really envied Koumori's ability. If she had such a strong tracking ability, she could directly investigate without being troubled by such uncertain factors.

The question is whether to pursue that intriguing magic first, or to return to the ruined festival site to check on the whereabouts of Kuroba's reincarnation.

Even as she was flying, Yuuki Yuuki was still unable to make up her mind about what to do.

"Hey, idiot, what are you spacing out for? Did I make you stupid in bed just now?"

Slightly faster than Yuuki Yuuki, Helica, who was flying in front of Yuuki Yuuki, stopped, turned around, put her hands on her hips, and started shouting in an unfriendly tone.

As for why Yuuki Yuki is still acting together with Helica.

During the time when I was replenishing my mana, Yuuki Yukino did get carried away by the provocation, which is why she wasted a lot of time on Helica because of the pointless arguments.

If it weren't for that special magic that caught Yuuki Yuuki's attention, she might still be in bed, arguing with Helica.

After regaining her senses, Yuuki Yuki really wanted to slap herself twice.

Replenishing Helica's mana was necessary to prepare for what was to come.

But competing is not necessary. The situation is urgent now, and this is not the time to do such meaningless things.

After calming down, Yuuki Yuuki used her magic to create new magical armor on her body.

Once one side in the argument stops, the argument can no longer continue.

Yuuki left the hotel and headed straight for the festival site, with Helica following behind her without saying a word.

It may seem like a temporary truce, but this is just the beginning of a new conflict.

Yuuki Yui ignored Helica, who was still upset that the battle in bed hadn't officially ended, and continued talking.

"Idiot! You fly so slowly! Why don't you just crawl over! By the time you get there, you'll be long gone!"

"You're the idiot." Yuuki Yui, still angry after being scolded by Helica, retorted, "There's nothing for you to do here, what are you still waiting for? Go, go, go do what you're supposed to do."

"I'm going to settle the score with that guy. How dare he do that to me!" Helica cracked her knuckles. "But you, I haven't even asked you why you're following me. Are you a stalker?"

"What's the point of following you? I've already seen everything I needed to see. Oh right, there's nothing else to see." Yuuki Yui was sharp-tongued, but she was equally quick in action. The magic book beneath her feet suddenly accelerated, leaving Helica behind, and she sped towards the festival site.

"You?!" After being asked this by Yuuki Yuki, Helica was stunned for a moment before realizing what Yuuki Yuki meant. Her face turned red and she quickened her pace to catch up.

The hotel is just a few minutes away from the festival site, and flying there makes the journey even more convenient, offering a panoramic view of the entire street.

There were hardly any pedestrians or vehicles along the way. Even when someone occasionally passed by on the road, they would find a nearby shelter to hide when they noticed Yuuki Enishi flying in the air, as if they were afraid of encountering some danger.

Although Yuuki Yukino was somewhat hurt by how others treated her, there was nothing she could do about being perceived this way as a fallen magical girl.

Besides, now is not the time to be at the mercy of others.

If you get closer, you can see the area that once served as the site of the festival, now in ruins.

Areas of the scene that were not affected by the battle at the time can be considered to be safe and sound.

The remaining dazzling lights and empty stalls made it hard to reconcile this scene with the bustling festival just hours before.

As they approached the area where the battle had taken place, all they could see was devastation. The land, scarred by overturned stalls and rubble, looked even more ruined than Yuuki Enishi had remembered.

Yuuki Yui carefully observed her surroundings and only breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that there had been no casualties.

Seeing the dilapidated scene before her, even Helica, who had been making a ruckus and mocking Yuuki Yukino all the way, was affected and shut her mouth.

Traces of magic still remain on the former battlefield, but none of the people who fought here are left—except for the two who are on their way.

Yes, there is no one left, only an irretrievable magic.

Yuuki En once again envied Koumori's abilities.

If Koumari were here, she could find the one belonging to Kuroba Rebirth from the complex magic, and then guide herself to the direction of Kuroba Rebirth.

But this is someone else's innate ability, something that I can never learn.

Or, how about we find a way to get Helica away? And then contact Hong Moli?

Yuuki Yukino's thoughtful expression as she stroked her chin caught Helica's attention. Helica moved closer and asked loudly.

"Hey, you're very sensitive to magic, right? Can you sense anything?"

Herlica's words interrupted Yuuki Yukino's thoughts, drawing her attention back to Herlica.

Did I make it that obvious?

Yuuki Yuuki was taken aback by what Helica Yayama Ryuuya said.

Fortunately, I didn't reveal any flaws in front of her, or so I thought.

Herica's question also suggests that she is not that sensitive to magic, and that it would be safe for him and her to replenish magic, at least their true identities would not be discovered because of magic.

Rather, would Helica remember the smell of magic when they first replenished each other's magic?

They probably don't remember.

"I'm talking to you, hey. You're looking for that winged birdman, right?"

Helica impatiently flicked her finger, and a bolt of lightning the thickness of a finger struck down towards Yuuki Yuki's head.

Sensing the roaring magical lightning descending from above, Yuuki Yuki didn't even raise her hand. A warhammer, pieced together from lines emerging from the magic book beneath her feet, blocked the lightning's impact point, causing it to miss its target.

Even so, the thunder still made Yuuki Emi's eardrums ring.

"Even if you find her trail, do you have any good ideas on how to deal with her? And besides, you trust me that much, aren't you afraid I'll sabotage you behind your back?"

What Yuuki Yukino said was ostensibly a provocation, but in reality, it was a reminder to Helica.

If you were to encounter the reincarnation of Kuroba, would your strength be sufficient?

It's not common for someone to suddenly unleash their full power after being injured, so Yuuki Yukino is genuinely worried that Helica might not be strong enough even against Kuroba Rise, and that she would need to take care of her.

Unlike Yuuki Yuuki, who has a built-in cheat like Star Ocean, Helica doesn't have a cheat like Star Ocean. Moreover, Yuuki Yuuki has more than one cheat right now.

Of course, it would be best if these words could drive Helica away, so that Yuuki could make a phone call to Koumori and have the group come together to completely eliminate Kuroba Reisei, and also find out what happened on Baqi's side.

Kuroba Ryousei must have lost a lot of magic power in tonight's battle. Taking advantage of her incomplete state, we can catch her off guard and win in one fell swoop. This is Yuuki Yukino's plan.

She had made up her mind; she would not let Kuroba Laisheng get through the night peacefully, no matter what.

"Even at a time like this, why are you still spouting so much nonsense? I just can't get along with a perverted, sadistic, tentacle-haired, bookish girl like you. If I had known you had such a sharp tongue, I would have made you yell until you were hoarse."

Helica, as if she hadn't understood a word, stood with her hands on her hips, pointing and gesturing behind Yuuki Yukino.

Does my title now have a few more adjectives?

Why is this old-fashioned adjective, "bookish woman," being added to this description?

Stop bringing up the mana replenishment issue!

It's all my fault for getting too carried away and not having any sense of crisis at a time like this.

"Don't disturb me, let me concentrate on feeling."

Yuuki Yukina said fiercely.

Herriad of anger was still burning from the battle with Kuroba Reisei, and she desperately wanted to beat him up to vent her frustration.

If Kuroba is allowed to reincarnate, he may cause even more destruction and threaten the safety of ordinary people.

Both morally and logically, ensuring that Kuroba's next life is a one-way trip is something Helica must do.
