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

For example, monsters in horror movies with more hands, fewer eyeballs, and more distorted body shapes.

For example, a bright red sedan chair surrounded by suona horns and dances late at night.

For example, there's Lin Jiezi here now, who seems abnormal in every way, like a puppet on strings.

While Yuki Eri and Hayashi Keiko were momentarily stunned as their eyes met, Hayashi Keiko had a new reaction.

Lin Jiezi pulled on Yuki Yuki's wrist from behind, causing Yuki Yuki to lose her balance and stumble back a few steps, falling into Lin Jiezi's arms.

Although it was said to be in her arms, it was actually just that Lin Jiezi's shoulders, which were as hard as a piece of wood, blocked her way.

The shoulders are hard, but there's always something soft about a girl's body.

Those lips, without any curve, came straight up and sealed Yuuki Yuuki's mouth before she could make a move.

Was this... a forced kiss?

No, this is more like magical girls replenishing each other's mana.

Lin Jiezi's movement lasted only a moment.

Before Yuki Yuki's body temperature could warm her cold lips, Lin Jiezi moved her head away from Yuki Yuki's face.

To be precise, it was passively moved away.

The black spear tip pierced through Lin Jiezi's neck, causing her head to tilt slightly.

Due to the obstruction of her view, Yuuki Yukino was unable to see what was happening.

The mere sight of a person's neck being pierced was enough to trigger a sense of unease in Yuuki, stemming from a fundamental human physiological instinct.

Then, Yuuki felt a lightness behind her. The body of the girl who had just hugged her was hanging on Nishio Reki's wand and was taken away from her.

Then, like a sack that had been lifted up, it was flung to the ground by Nishio Reki's flick.

Since the day Nishio Reki collapsed in a pool of blood, this was the first time Yuuki Yukina had ever felt a life disappear before her eyes.

Yuki Emi could truly feel Lin Jiezi's hand trembling and her body going limp after a moment of weakness through her own body.

It's not like Kuroba's reincarnation being judged and left half-dead, but rather the ending called "death" that everyone tries their best to avoid talking about, the ending that every life will face.

No, that's not how it works. Lin Jiezi, that thing shaped like Lin Jiezi, can it really be considered a life?

At least no one can twist their body and stand up in a way that is impossible for a human after having their neck pierced, right?

Yuki En wasn't the only one who noticed Hayashi's unusual behavior; Nishio Reki had already flipped down like a nimble kitten, one hand on the railing.

Nishio Reki's spear pierced through the girl's body and emerged from behind Hayashi Keiko, who was wearing a Tsukimi Middle School uniform.

Lin Jiezi tilted her head, then raised it, her gaze sweeping over Yuki Yuki, who was looking down at the building below.

When Yuuki Yukino blocked Nishio Reki's attack, her arm was slightly numb from the shock, so Nishio Reki's subsequent attacks would definitely be stronger.

Even so, Lin Jiezi did not collapse, and continued to look at him with those empty eyes.

It's truly terrifying.

At this point, it was confirmed that Yuuki Yuki was the same person as the Hayashi Mustard Seeds that filled Nishio Reki's room.

Yes, things.

If Yuuki Yuuki were to acquire even a small amount of magical power from a magical girl, she should be able to create a fictional wand for that girl.

However, from what Lin Jiezi had infused into her body, Yuuki Yui was unable to create any magic wand.

Therefore, that Lin Jiezi is definitely not a magical girl.

She's not just not a magical girl, she's not even human, right?

Lin Jiezi's magical aura was extremely abnormal.

Everyone has their own unique aura of magic, just like genes, which are inherent attributes of a person.

Even among ordinary people, there is a huge difference in magical power – this is what Hong Moli said.

Yuuki Yuuki has never replenished her mana with an ordinary person, but this act definitely met the conditions for replenishing mana, so in theory, some mana should have flowed into her body.

However, Yuuki Yuki felt nothing at all.

It's like Yuuki Yuuki is kissing a body pillow all the time, and nothing happens.

Something did enter Yuuki Yuuki's body, but what flowed into her body seemed to be something different from magic.

Yuuki Yukina vaguely sensed that she was beginning to touch upon some of the "unspeakable" things that Nishio Reki had mentioned.

This monster, resembling Lin Jiezi, is the starting point for solving the mystery.

Chapter Nineteen: Rampage is an indispensable part of magical girls.

In the battle against Nishio Reki, or rather, in the one-sided crushing defeat, Yuuki Yuuki also had the opportunity to see Nishio Reki's wand clearly for the first time.

That shape made Yuuki Yuki hesitant to try and identify it.

Because in a sense, this shape is all too familiar to Yuuki Eri.

Nishio Reki's wand is a halberd.

It's not the European halberd and axe, but the kind of weapon that combines a spear and a dagger, which is seen in many period dramas set in the Qin Dynasty.

The porcelain-style weapon, along with Nishio Reki's cheongsam with its shoulder-slit design and long hair, really do match well.

But what we should pay attention to now is not Nishio Reki's style after his transformation, but rather the thing that has Hayashi Mustard's appearance.

The monster eventually fell.

It didn't take long for it to get up from the ground and fall down again.

After Nishio Reki's wand pierced her, her body swayed a few times before falling straight to the ground.

When Yuuki Yoriichi entered the non-human realm from the human realm, the discomfort he initially felt due to the passing of life completely disappeared.

Anyone who sees its empty eyes and distorted posture would no longer believe it to be human.

Just like the room full of Hayashi Mustard Seeds that Yuuki En saw after the fireworks display, this one is no different.

However, the physical discomfort of seeing a humanoid creature collapse in front of you will still exist.

Looking at Nishio Reki's practiced movements, and thinking of the same things piled up all over the room, just how many times has Nishio Reki done this?

How exactly did Nishio Reki overcome his fear of killing such a thing with his own hands?

Was the Nishio Reki I saw lying in a pool of blood that night the original Nishio Reki, or a monster like this?

And if it's not human, then what is it?

Lost in thought, Yuuki Yuki watched as Nishio Reki hoisted the motionless girl onto his shoulder and carried her up the stairs, dropping the things he was carrying at his feet.

"call……"

Nishio Reki let out a long breath, his throat bobbing up and down as he swallowed.

Through his bangs, Nishio Reki's eyes swept over Yuuki Yuuki with a look of bewilderment and anxiety.

Yuuki Yukino, preoccupied with knowing exactly what had happened, didn't notice Nishio Reki's expression and hurriedly took a few steps forward.

The situation is even more bizarre than Yuuki En had anticipated. Although she hasn't sensed any danger from that Lin Jiezi so far, it's still quite unsettling.

If this thing appeared at my doorstep, I would be scared awake in the middle of the night.

We must seize this opportunity to ask what happened, and we absolutely cannot let Nishio Ryū use excuses like "I can't say" again.

The two, equally anxious, spoke at the same time.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Xiaoyuan, are you alright?"

The two sentences that collided made them both shut up.

Only for a brief moment did the two of them speak at the same time.

"What exactly is this...?"

"Xiao Yuan...you..."

When they spoke again, they inevitably collided once more.

Unable to ask the question on either occasion, Yuuki Yukina felt a sudden, inexplicable irritation rising within her.

"Ugh! I already said I'm fine! What could possibly be wrong with me?! But you! Explain yourself to me what happened, okay?"

Her emotional outburst was like a flood bursting its banks; the initial small breach would expand infinitely at an extremely rapid pace, making it impossible for her to suppress the anger in her heart.

Wait a minute, why am I suppressing myself?

It was Nishio Reki who caused me to fall into darkness. It was Nishio Reki who did so many dirty tricks. I don't need to greet her with a smile, do I?

On the contrary, what have I done up to this point?

Is it really necessary to chat with her like a friend?

"Xiao Yuan! Quickly deactivate your transformation!"

Yuuki Yukina heard Nishio Reki shouting that.

This affectionate way of addressing her made Yuuki Yuki feel even more irritated.

"Little Yuan, Little Yuan, you're so noisy!"

Yuuki Yuuka swung her fist and roared in an unfriendly tone.

I have a feeling that something is wrong.

Yuuki Yuuki only underwent a normal transformation; she didn't use the divine release of Yuuki-no-Kami.

In his normal magical form, he should be wearing long gloves.

But why are my arms completely bare now?

Yuuki Yui calmed down a little and looked down her body along her arm.

Only now has Yuuki Yui realized that her body is undergoing very unusual changes.

No, it's strange that we didn't even realize it.

The sudden, unprovoked anger seemed to have clouded Yuuki Yukino's senses, leaving her no time to notice the changes in her body.

Not only the long gloves, but the magical armor on his body was also melting.
