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

At this moment, only Inuyama Tomoe was reflected in her eyes.

“Baqi, you’re not going anywhere.”

Yuuki Yukina repeated the sentence again.

"You transferred to my school on your own initiative and then started clinging to me."

"Huh??"

"Now that you're here, you'd better stay and take responsibility!"

Chapter 128 Let's go for a walk together

"Now that you're here, now that you're by my side, you'd better stay here obediently and take responsibility!"

As Yuuki Yukino raised her voice slightly in annoyance, she tore the treaty into pieces in a few swift movements without making a fuss.

"Didn't we already agree that we'd all come back together?"

The scraps of paper she scattered were transformed into magical specks of light as they fluttered about, as if the treaty had never existed.

Yuuki Enishi did this because she didn't want to see Baqi leave her side.

Signing such a contract so casually, though it annoyed Yuuki a bit, was indeed something that someone like Tomoe, who didn't think about anything, would do.

Moreover, Baqi acted for herself. Whether it was the opportunity for the liberation of the gods or the treaty that almost separated the two of them, it all stemmed from Baqi's emphasis on herself.

Even if you want to criticize her, you have to wait until everything is over, then take her back and give her a proper talking-to.

There is only one last problem that needs to be solved.

But the other person seems a bit strange?

Yuuki Yukino's death was described lightly, but some people don't see it that way.

Saint Shion's beliefs seemed to collapse along with the treaty that Yuuki En tore to shreds. Her pupils trembled violently as if in an earthquake, and no trace of triumph could be seen in her deep eyes.

It's like a lifelong seeker of truth who eventually discovers that the god he has believed in all his life is a fiction.

That must be the expression of despair after one's beliefs have collapsed.

Despair might be an understatement. If Yuuki Yuuki hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have been able to imagine that facial features could appear in such a distorted way without affecting a person's appearance.

How should we describe such sacred hymns?

It gives people an urge to trample on and desecrate it.

Of course, this was on the battlefield, but Yuuki Yukino's strange impulse towards Seishin was just so out of place.

"Impossible, this is impossible! That's the Covenant, something left behind by the original Him, a manifestation of a subtle miracle. It's something no magical girl could withstand. It's unique, unrepeatable, and can only be obtained during a divine descent. How could it be torn up so easily?"

Saint Shion's words were likely a monologue, which was confirmed by the fact that she didn't look at anyone or ask for a reply from anyone.

And at this distance, Yuuki Yukari could hear everything she said clearly.

"So it's something really amazing?" Yuuki Yui interjected inappropriately.

Yuuki Yui couldn't understand what she had done. All she knew was that she didn't want Baqi to leave, so she had to tear up that tattered piece of paper, and that's what she did.

What was that piece of paper, how was it made, and what would be the consequences of tearing it up... Yuuki Yuki never thought about these kinds of things.

How did I do it? Because I was capable of doing it, so I did it.

"Something extraordinary? That's the law! That's the truth! Even the slightest manifestation of that god is something you can't possibly touch!"

This ill-timed remark was like lighting a powder keg, causing Sheng Shiyin's emotions to suddenly surge.

Then, like a deflated balloon, Sheng Shiyin cupped her cheeks with trembling hands, hissed in the cold air, and repeated in a softer tone.

"Can you imagine? Can you imagine? He is an being who can grant all wishes, yet you trample on Him at will. Aren't you denying His omniscience and omnipotence?"

It sounded like she was communicating with Yuuki Eri, but in reality, Seishine was talking to herself, spouting fanatical words into the void.

"Huh?" Yuuki Yuu didn't expect things to develop this way. Didn't she just tear up a piece of paper?

Could it be that I actually did something extraordinary?

What should I do then? Should I ask Sheng Shiyin just how serious this matter really is?

After a long while, Sheng Shiyin took a deep breath, as if doing so could calm the turbulent emotions in her heart.

Unlike Kuroba Reise, who went mad when driven to the brink of despair, she expressed her dark emotions in a more restrained and calm manner.

Next, she asked Yuuki Yuuki a question.

They should be asking Yuuki Eri for confirmation.

"Yuuki Yukino, when you were a magical girl, were you able to resist the hatred towards fallen magical girls?"

"Yuki Yuuki, after you were marked with the stigma symbolizing evil, are you able to resist the corrosive power of that force?"

This inexplicable and illogical question amplified Yuuki Yukino's doubts considerably.

What? What is all this about?

Yuuki Yui didn't speak, so Seishine began to answer her own question.

"Impossible! This is all impossible! These are the fundamental rules of magical girls, and they can never be broken!"

Yuuki Yui was even more confused when Seishin spoke such nonsensical words with such certainty.

When I was a magical girl, I didn't know that I hadn't transformed yet when I was attacked by Bachi. After I fell into darkness, it seems that I haven't really been affected by any corruption.

Not only did it not work, but it also helped to neutralize the corrosive effects on others, which almost led to it being packed into a suitcase and taken away.

Uh, so you mean I've already broken them all?

But seeing how crazy Sheng Shiyin is, it's probably better not to say it.

Also, did Saint Shion refer to the Black Magic Mark as "Holy Mark"?

Gradually, Yuuki Yui seemed to be able to grasp some of Seishin's ideas.

"You don't know, and you could never know. In the realm of magical girls, He is omniscient and omnipotent. Even today, His will to cleanse the filth hidden within magical girls is rooted in the heart of every magical girl. What He has established is absolute truth!"

The hymn continued, murmuring.

"A true magical girl should be like this! To cleanse the darkness and wipe away all those who symbolize filth and are marked with impurities!"

Saint Shiyin's trembling fingers dug deeper into her cheeks, as if any more force would leave streaks of blood on her face.

Even though many of the things Seishion said were incoherent, Yuuki Yui seemed to understand some of what Seishion was saying from her fragments of words.

There was a primordial magical girl—though it sounds a bit chuunibyou, let's just call her that for now—who could grant other people's wishes and was worshipped by many. Saint Shion was one of her believers.

Some corrupted magical girls have black magic marks on their bodies. These marks were placed on them by the original magical girls and are also called stigmata by Seishin.

The reason why ordinary magical girls hate corrupted magical girls so much is because the original magical girls made them do so. This has become an instinct, or a law that exists within magical girls and can only restrain them.

Speaking of rules.

Yuuki Yui has a theory about the indenture that Seishine prepared for Inuyama Tomoe.

"Uh, wait, I think I understand why Seishin turned out like this." Yuuki Yui turned her head, ignoring Seishin's rambling, and turned directly to Baqi, poking her waist and nodding at Seishin.

"So, that treaty is essentially establishing a new set of rules, or something like that?" As if afraid that her actions would upset Seishin, Yuuki Yukino brought her mouth close to Baqi's ear and whispered.

"Yuki, what does this mean?" Baqi tilted her head, recovering from her earlier emotions, and began to wonder what Yuki was talking about.

"Saint Shion is using some of the power left behind by the original magical girl to formulate some new, flawed but effective laws." Yuuki Yui listened to Saint Shion's rambling remarks while gesturing slightly with her hands to explain her speculation to Baqi.

"For example, if Saint Shiyin sets a rule that you can't look at your phone while eating, then if anyone wants to look at their phone while eating, they will be forced to not look at their phone."

"Oh, it doesn't sound like a big deal." Baqi also returned to her previous demeanor and quickly resumed her conversation with Yuuki Yuki.

"But she can't recreate miracles. If she wants others to abide by the rules she sets, she needs their consent. The treaty you signed is one such thing."

"Isn't that no different from a regular contract? It's just that it's a magical girl's contract, which makes it impossible to disobey."

“You’re right. Other contracts and agreements all have consequences for breaching them, like paying a ‘penalty.’ But the agreement she used to trick you didn’t have a penalty at all, because it was essentially unchangeable. In other words, the content of the agreement itself wasn’t that important; what mattered was its binding force that restricted you.”

Yuuki Yui paused for a moment before continuing, "Although I don't know how I did it, tearing up that treaty must be a remarkable thing. It directly breaks the existing rules, which feels like making every minute a microsecond slower. It may not seem like a big deal, but in essence, it is impossible."

"Oh! So that's why Saint Shiyin is so crazy?" Baqi nodded.

“That should be the case,” Yuuki Yukino replied.

After their brief conversation, Sheng Shiyin was still lost in her own world, saying things that were hard to understand.

After Sheng Shiyin had been rambling on for quite a while, she finally let out a long sigh and lowered her head.

"call……"

A moment later, as if she had been rebooted, Sheng Shiyin returned to her original appearance.

This time, her target became Hong Moli.

"Hong Moli, may I ask if you can succeed Kuroba Laishe as the student council president of Seiyuu Academy?"

"Me?" Hong Moli didn't transform at this moment; she was just standing on the outer circle watching the farce inside.

She was still reeling from the indescribable torture that had befallen Kuroba Reisei when she was suddenly called by Sheng Shiyin, and her brows furrowed.

Then answered instantly.

"Do not want to."

"I can offer you a new scholarship, as well as a recommendation spot after graduation, or anything else you want, as long as it's within the chairman's capabilities, I can provide it for you," Saint Shion then extended an olive branch to Hong Moli.

"I don't want to." Hong Moli replied without hesitation.

"Ah...ah, okay, okay then." Sheng Shiyin lowered her head dejectedly again: "Is there anything else? If not, I'm going back."

How to handle the situation remains a problem.

Yuuki En herself was completely unable to fight back, and since Seishin had been openly holding back, Yuuki En didn't feel any hostility from her.

However, the fact that she had tricked Baqi made Yuuki Yuki extremely angry.

Despite her anger, Sheng Shiyin hasn't shown much hostility so far. Continuing to fight when everyone is exhausted is not a rational move.

Moreover, the nuns who appeared out of nowhere, including Saint Shion, were completely new to the game. They appeared silently and possessed considerable combat power. Before figuring out how they did it, Yuuki Yui was unwilling to take the risk.

Baqi probably had the same thought and didn't react accordingly.

As for Koumori and Hyakki Senyou, needless to say.

Kuroba Reisei was killed, and things had developed to this point. It had nothing to do with them. They only came back because they were worried about Baqi and Yuuki Enishi. If it weren't for Koumori being singled out, they would have been watching the show the whole time.
