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

Incidentally, Baqi's house has three bedrooms: one for Baqi's parents, one for Baqi, and one for the guests. This is actually quite ordinary, but the key point is that each of the three bedrooms has a bathroom, and two of the bathrooms have bathtubs.

This is outrageously extravagant, truly outrageously extravagant. Yuuki Yuen was reminded of the days when her roommates in the dormitory had to queue up to take a shower.

Yuuki Yukino had initially been looking forward to the scene of her bathing with Tomoe. The image of beautiful girls being completely open with each other, helping each other wash their backs, and playing around was simply wonderful.

It's one thing to just dream about it, but this is actually her first time spending the night at a friend's house. Even in a visual novel, things don't progress this quickly.

Less than a week ago, Yuuki Yuuki was still figuring out how to get rid of that troublesome girl, Baqi. Now, she has inexplicably become a friend with whom she can spend the night. Looking back on what she did back then, she is really a little embarrassed.

The mysteries surrounding why she became attached to him and why she transferred schools were all solved. Ultimately, it was all because he had extended a helping hand to her at the right time. Even if it was just an accidental act of pity at the time, it inadvertently won her heart.

There's an old saying that goes something like this: "Planting willows unintentionally can result in unexpected shade." That's probably what it means.

Baqi's mental fortitude is truly remarkable. After saying those things in the store, she was shy for a while, but she was still able to eat almost a whole plate of beef tongue as if nothing had happened.

It's really strange, really. In the afternoon, she was saying things like drinking hot beverages after exercise is healthy, but in the evening she took me out for barbecue, which is anything but healthy. I always feel like Baqi wants to change herself to some extent, but she can't seem to break free from certain habits from the past all at once.

So, is drinking hot beverages after exercise really effective? Yuki En is deeply suspicious of whether Baqi's parents read some strange public account and taught her this.

Although there don't seem to be that many alarmist public accounts in this world.

There was no point in thinking about it. Yuuki Yuki got out of the bathtub, wrapped a towel around herself, and lay down in a spread-eagle position on the bed in the guest room.

After so many days, she finally remembered that she shouldn't wrap the bath towel around her waist.

Once the moisture on her body had mostly evaporated, Yuuki changed into the pajamas she had brought and went to the living room to sit on the sofa with Baqi, where they began a late-night chat between girls.

In reality, the late-night chats between girls aren't like those in anime, filled with pink bubbles. The topics they discuss aren't celebrities or romance; they just talk about funny things that happened at school and their own lives.

Inuyama Tomoe longs to break free from the past and embrace a new life, and naturally, she is full of curiosity about the unknown. At this time, some amusing stories about ordinary people that Yuuki En told her before she traveled through time came in handy. With Yuuki En's embellishments, Tomoe listened with great interest.

Conversely, Yuuki Yukari also learned more about this world from Tomoe. She had only played the game and couldn't possibly memorize all the game settings. In order to live a normal life in this world, common sense, which was more valuable than that of others, became extremely precious.

The two drank fruit tea, idly watched the TV programs, and talked about all sorts of random topics until late at night when they said goodnight to each other and went back to their own rooms.

They didn't sleep in the same room.

Baqi's parents weren't home tonight, and Yuuki Yuki thought Baqi would take this opportunity to do something to her.

If you ask if she had any expectations, she certainly did, but expectations are one thing, and no one is another.

Yuuki En was lost in thought, recalling everything that had happened that day. The physical education class, the transformation, and the exhaustion from staying up all night all came at once, making her drowsy and just as she was about to drift off to sleep, a sliver of moonlight slid in with the creak of the door being gently pushed open, along with a blurry figure.

Then, the blanket covering Yuuki Yukino moved, and the figure slipped inside.

Half-asleep, Yuuki Yuuki felt something get under the covers. She instinctively cursed, her sleepiness vanishing instantly due to the cold sweat she broke out in. Experiencing a paranormal event while staying at a friend's house is no joke at all.

Yuuki carefully lifted the covers and tried to find out what was going on by the moonlight. She noticed that what had crawled into the covers was not some supernatural creature that had invaded the safe zone, but a silver-haired girl wearing only a nightgown.

The moment Yuuki Yukina and Tomoe, who was huddled under the covers, made eye contact, Yuuki's neck was hooked by the girl's arms, and she was pulled into the covers.

"Wait a minute, Inuyama-kun, this..."

"Call me Baqi."

With an unwavering, commanding tone, just as Yuuki had done to her in the storeroom, Baqi sealed Yuuki's lips with her own.

The offensive she launched was no less powerful than when she fired wildly on the mountain at night; the firepower, seemingly intent on destroying everything, left Yuuki Eri completely powerless to resist.

This is so unusual. Baqi is not like this at all. There is no way she would order me around.

Even when replenishing mana, Baqi would obediently and carefully swallow the magic power.

"B...Baki?" Yuuki Yuuki pushed Baqi's shoulder slightly, separating the girl who kept demanding from her.

The girl was forced to briefly stop her soft yet irresistible invasion. She licked her lips with the tip of her tongue as if savoring the moment, and a fleeting look of confusion crossed her eyes.

Baqi rubbed against the covers for a few more moments, then pressed her whole body against Yuuki Yuki's. Her icy hands slipped inside her pajamas and rested on Yuuki Yuki's waist, pulling her even closer.

Yuuki felt a slight stinging pain coming from around her neck. Baqi had already buried her head in the crook of her neck and lightly kissed her collarbone. The canine teeth that slightly sank into her skin felt more like teasing her prey.

Seemingly finding the clothes in the way, Baqi picked up the top button of the pajamas and gently tugged it, opening the neckline of the pajamas. Although it wasn't enough to expose her, it was already embarrassing enough to have her shoulders exposed. Moreover, Baqi was trying to lift up the clothes that she had been pressing down on with her body.

Another thing is even more chilling: even if it's forced, this should be considered replenishing mana, right? But why is my mana starting to decrease?

No, this isn't mana replenishment at all; it's an ability unique to corrupted magical girls—mana plunder.

As if to verify Yuuki Yuki's conjecture, Baqi lightly pecked Yuuki Yuki's collarbone with her lips, leaving a pink mark that belonged only to her, and then stuck out her little tongue to reveal a charming smile that did not match her face at all.

As a fellow magical girl, Yuuki Yuuki could see it more clearly in the darkness; the black magic markings attached to her tongue were emitting a faint light that was even deeper than the night itself.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Almost Getting Raped - Is that funny?!

Baqi reached out, grabbed the cumbersome blanket covering her and threw it to the ground. She then straddled Yuuki Emi's waist, straightened up, bit her finger, and revealed a meaningful smile. Her expression was half bright and half dark in the moonlight, like a hunter who had succeeded in his scheme.

That expression looks dangerous no matter how you look at it.

No, I have to think of a way, otherwise I'll really get raped.

She's trying to clear her name because she doesn't want to be raped! If that actually happens, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

Baqi wouldn't give Yuuki any time to think. Her icy fingers landed on Yuuki's stomach, and her fingertips traced the black magic patterns drawn on it stroke by stroke.

hiss--

Yuuki Yui couldn't help but gasp. She was certain that this was just a normal touch and had nothing to do with black magic patterns or magic. But even such an ordinary action had caused her body to have a slightly excited reaction.

My body feels so weak, I can't muster any strength at all. I feel a subtle sense of anticipation, and I really want to just let myself sink into this state.

No, I absolutely cannot succumb to my desires like this.

Yuuki Yui bit her tongue hard, and the piercing pain from her nerve endings diminished the involuntary excitement she felt.

Even without transforming, she can still use magic, as long as she can be controlled with a restraint trap first...

Yuuki silently gripped the bed sheet beneath her. In the gap between the sheet and her palm, specks of light were gathering, and a six-pointed star magic circle slowly formed in her palm.

Click, click.

Yuuki Yukino's hand was held down by Baqi, and the magic circle was crushed by even stronger magic.

Baqi leaned down and pressed her lips to Yuuki Emi's ear, her canines digging slightly into her earlobe, her breath brushing against her ear like a feather.

"Xiao Yuan is such a bad child."

As Baqi spoke, she shifted her body downwards again, leaning against Yuuki Yuki's body, and Yuuki Yuki immediately felt a lightness on her waist.

"Bad children should be punished."

As Baqi spoke, her teeth found a new target: Yuuki Emi's shoulder, where she slowly and deliberately left her own pink mark.

Baqi seemed unsatisfied with this, and leaned down again to bite the second button of Yuuki Eri's pajamas.

The pain from being kissed and bitten on the skin wasn't intense, but when had Yuuki Yuki ever experienced such humiliation?

If we continue to let her do what she wants, things could really get very bad.

"Baqi, no..."

"Don't want what? Xiaoyuan is clearly looking forward to it too... Pfft!"

Before Baqi could finish speaking, Yuuki Emi raised her knee and struck her chin with perfect accuracy.

Bachi seemed to be constantly on guard against using magic, and the fact that the restraint trap had just been crushed was the best example of this.

If magic won't work, then let's use physical methods.

I forget where I read it, but even a woman can win against a professional boxer by striking his chin and causing a concussion.

You can never have too much of this little-known fact, so Yuuki Yuki memorized it, and unexpectedly, it actually came in handy one day.

If she could, she wouldn't want to fight either, but between being beaten up by Rape and being brutally beaten by Baki, she would choose the latter.

Hit by the impact, Baqi fell onto the bed next to her, clearly stunned by the impact. Yuuki Yuki wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by again.

Yuuki Yukino quickly released her magic again, and this time, the restraint trap did not miss.

Yuuki Yuen turned on the light, straightened her disheveled clothes, moved a chair to the side, and stared at Baqi, whose hands were tied behind her back and who was writhing on the bed.

To prevent Baqi from screaming, Yuuki went to the living room, grabbed a half-eaten Swiss roll, and stuffed it into Baqi's mouth. She then grabbed one for herself and started eating it too.

This time she was finally able to calm down and think things through.

Yuuki En could only think of two reasons why Baqi had become like this: either there was something wrong with Baqi, or there was something wrong with the Black Magic Mark.

First she played the victim, then she transferred schools, and later she poured out her heart, all to trick her into coming home for rape. This is indeed very much in line with the behavior of a magical girl after she has fallen from grace.

Back when Yuuki Yuuki first encountered the Black Magic Mark, her assessment of the corrupted magical girl was simply "evil."

But Ba Qi was the only one who refused to think in that direction.

Is that a problem with the Black Magic Pattern?

Yuuki looked up at Baqi again. Baqi had already bitten off a piece of the Swiss roll and was chewing it angrily.

"Open your mouth." Yuuki Yuen's tone was unfriendly; it would be abnormal for them to be getting along so well after just being attacked at night.

"No way!" Baqi swallowed what was in her mouth and turned her head away in a huff.

"If you open your mouth, I'll give you a kiss."

"what--"

"Stick out your tongue."

"No."

"Give me two kisses."

"slightly--"

Baki is still the same Baki, so easy to handle.

It was no illusion; the black magic patterns on Baqi's tongue were indeed shimmering with an eerie light.

Yuuki Yukino lifted her pajamas and compared the differences between the two black magic patterns.

The black magic pattern emits a faint glow in the eyes of magical girls that cannot penetrate fabric, except for the semi-transparent black veil on Yuuki Yuki's stomach after her transformation.

A faint fluorescence is normal, but it's clearly abnormal that only Baqi's black magic pattern shimmers with such an eerie dark red light.

"Alright, take it back." Yuuki Yui rested her chin on her hand, crossed her legs, and pondered what was going on.

"Where's the kiss?" Baqi pouted.

"Wait, don't disturb me while I'm thinking." As soon as Yuuki Yui finished speaking, she had already guessed the reason.

He hadn't mentioned anything about magic plundering to Baqi, but she had used it anyway, and the black magic runes were flashing so strangely. Connecting these things together, it was almost certain that the black magic runes had affected Baqi.
