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

“Yes, Senior Tenrai, I just joined the club and it’s about to be disbanded. There must be something we can do right now,” Sakura Hanako chimed in.

Yuuki Yukina could feel Helica's gaze on her, and before Helica could ask for her opinion, Yuuki Yukina spoke first.

"Although I am not like you all, I will do my best if there is anything I can do."

My attitude is very important. If Helica raises opinions such as "there is danger" or "protect everyone" later, I can use my current attitude to refute her and ensure that I can stay in Nijisanji.

Although Yuuki Yukino has some little-known secrets, she gets along very well with the members of Nijisanji, and even putting aside personal factors, she doesn't want Nijisanji to end.

Herlica's expression immediately brightened.

In Yuuki Enishi's view, it was more like the secret smugness of a successful conspiracy.

But such an expression only flashed across Helica's face for a moment. Helica immediately resumed her previous extremely solemn expression, clasped her hands together on the table, and began to explain the ins and outs of the matter to the others.

"Today, the teacher in charge of student club management at school talked to me."

Just that opening sentence made Yuuki Yuki breathe a sigh of relief.

It's not a problem with magical girls, but a problem with the school; that makes things much easier.

When Nijisanji was first established, the club application form contained a bunch of mysterious and strange things, such as: "Club type: Magical girl hobby club" and "Daily activities include observing the behavior of magical girls".

Finally, it was transformed into a volunteer organization that provides volunteer services to the community and schools. Its essence is to serve the public, improve oneself, and become a useful member of society.

However, whenever the teacher is mentioned, Yuuki En feels a strong sense of being deceived.

"At the time, this is what the teacher told me: since its establishment, Rainbow Club has never submitted a club activity report or carried out any formal activities."

It seems that the main function of the Rainbow Society is to have a club and a club activity room as a base for everyone to hold strategy meetings.

Although the main purpose of the club activity room is to have lunch, the battle meetings are usually held by Helicara at the family restaurant.

"Nonsense! We're holding activities every day, and the club activity room is in use every single day!"

Helica, still dissatisfied, slammed her fists on the table a few times.

This isn't a club activity at all; it's just a regular lunch!

"The teacher also said that with the influx of first-year students, the club activity rooms are in short supply. If a club doesn't put forward any practical activities, it will be disbanded and the club activity room will be taken back."

Isn't that why we occupy the classroom all day long?

"However, because my reputation is quite good, and there are also excellent new students joining the club, the teacher said that they could be a little more lenient."

"An outstanding freshman, Sakura, could it be that your grades are very good?" Mizuno Yu seemed somewhat surprised.

Yuuki Yukino was also a little curious, after all, Sakura Hanako was the magical girl she knew the least about.

Due to the game's length, the character development and the number of CGs for Hanako are definitely less than those for the initial three starter characters.

"It wasn't very good, my entrance exam score was around tenth." Sakura Hanako scratched her chin and smiled sheepishly.

Thankfully, it's only tenth.

Surrounded by hard-working individuals like Tenrai Herika and Kou Mori, or geniuses like Inuyama Tomoe, who consistently occupy the top two spots on the school rankings, Yuuki En felt that tenth place was nothing special.

Although she doesn't even rank in the top ten.

"If Nijisanji carries out its activities normally and submits activity reports, it can avoid the crisis of being shut down like other clubs."

No, quite the opposite, Helica, your reputation is absolutely terrible except for your grades.

Ah, I understand the teacher a little better now. As long as Nijisanji is still around, Helica won't go around harming other people, right?

"So, I've got it! To avoid the crisis of our club going out of business, let's debut as a girl band!"

Chapter Thirty-Three: Striving to Avoid the Crisis of Society's Demise

I'm sorry, Helica, I shouldn't have said you wouldn't joke about something like this.

This sentence is full of flaws, isn't it?

Rainbow Club, abandoned club, band girls, volunteer group—these are all completely unrelated!

What band girl? That's just your personal bias!

You're still upset about your band breaking up, aren't you?

Helica, seemingly oblivious to anything amiss, continued explaining her plans.

"To save our club from collapse, we're stepping forward as a girl band, conquering others with our playing and singing. Isn't that a great idea?"

In fact, even if Helica felt something was wrong, she wouldn't say it. Just like before, she awkwardly wanted to go see the stars, but then said she wanted to go to Moonsea Park for a barbecue at night.

Besides, playing in a band is one of Helica's few hobbies.

In the original story, the romantic relationships between Nishio Reki and the three starter families are all based on a certain characteristic of the characters.

For example, the conflict and reconciliation between Nishio Reki and Yuuki Yuuki, who are childhood friends; and Nishio Reki's help to Mizuno Yuu and her family company's development, as well as the subtle changes he has on Mizuno Yuu personally.

Of course, the rest is the story of Helica, who gave up the band when they first met, but was later encouraged by Nishio Reki and became a girl who was able to play again.

So, Helica really loves bands and their music.

The catalyst was a band called "Rose Garden" that my older sister had formed when she was young, and thinking about it made me feel a little complicated.

But that's no reason for me to start a band!

If you tell Helica directly that she's not allowed to form a band, she definitely won't agree.

Given Helica's strange personality, it's best not to go looking for trouble and upset her.

However, a tactful refusal, rather than a direct one, is still acceptable.

"Shouldn't the normal plot be about saving the school from closing down and becoming a school idol?" Yuuki Yukina used a sarcastic remark to brush off the question, preparing to subtly suggest that Helica abandon the plan.

As it turned out, Helica actually responded to Yuuki Yukino's sarcastic remarks.

"Do the members of Nijisanji look like school idols? School idols can't be socially awkward, can they?"

But of the five people in this room, apart from Helica herself who offered the suggestion, none of them looked like they could form a band.

“But if you want to form a band, you can’t be socially awkward, right?” Yuuki used Helica’s own point of view to refute her, thus making her give up this unrealistic idea.

Although it seems that a pink-haired, socially awkward character in a certain anime also formed a band.

The guitarist who works part-time as a teleprompter for a certain "Great Demon Girl" seems to be socially awkward as well.

No, no, now is not the time to think about these things. We need to focus on refuting Helica's ideas.

"And bands should be very rock and very fashionable, like playing guitar with teeth, playing drums with three-handed style, swinging around in the air, throwing chocolate shells at the audience, and even having someone wear a bear costume to DJ on stage."

Yuuki Yukina counted on her fingers, listing all the strange behaviors of the band that she could think of, and finally, while summarizing, she expressed her objections.

"Look, none of us are that kind of style, are we?"

Actually, Helica is already quite rock and roll; her elementary school boy-like fashion sense has already caused her family's washing machine to break down once.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's where your ignorance comes from. There are all kinds of bands. The older sister is a member of a band, but the younger sister knows nothing about them." Helica shook her finger with great satisfaction and clicked her tongue with confidence.

Yuuki Yui knew, of course she knew.

Back then, Nishio Reki called himself Okuzawa Misaki and wore Michelle's mascot costume, all because he just happened to like that girl band.

Even if you know, you have to pretend you don't.

"Indeed, some bands are very rock and roll, just like you said, while others are more cute and idol-like. Some bands have added violin elements, which has created a different chemical effect. There are also bands that don't need keyboardists."

Once the topic came up, Helica started talking non-stop, spouting profound things that only seasoned band fans could understand.

"So, if you want to form a band, everyone has a chance as long as they practice diligently. Some bands' selling point is the growth of their members, understand? Got it? Isn't that great! Isn't that a perfect fit!"

This is so exciting!

Helica's excitement completely belied her awkward personality. When discussing the band, she was both excited and candid, her eyes sparkling.

"Besides! Wouldn't it be better to just have Lin Jiezi be our agent?"

She doesn't look like someone who could be a manager at all!

"Forming a band," Mizuno Yu murmured, placing her clenched fist in front of her lips, clearly considering the feasibility.

It was already hopeless when she started trying to understand Helica.

“That’s right! Let’s form a band!” Helica became even more excited when she heard Mizuno Yu’s suggestion. “If all goes well, our crisis of disbanding the company will be averted!”

Yuuki Yukino is now doubting whether there really is such a thing as the abolition of the guild, but Helica shouldn't be lying.

That means they're using this as an excuse to make a fuss.

“But I don’t play any musical instruments,” Yuuki Yukina presented the second challenge.

This is a lie.

Yuki Yukino can actually play the electronic keyboard.

Because I was addicted to the free performance feature in a certain online game, I taught myself music knowledge and sheet music from scratch in order to be able to perform in the main city area.

Then, on a whim, I bought an electronic keyboard and put it in my dorm room, fantasizing that one day when I played the keyboard, someone would run over and say, "It sounds so good!" But after practicing a few times, I just left it gathering dust.

But whether he plays well or not, he's definitely better than someone who can't play the keyboard at all.

Of course, there was no need to tell Helica about this.

"Of course we can learn musical instruments! As long as the instructor in charge of club management sees our practice and we submit an activity report, the crisis of the club being shut down will be averted!"

Helica hasn't forgotten her original purpose, using the crisis of the company's collapse as a shield.

“But musical instruments are all very expensive, aren’t they?” This was the only thing Yuuki Yukari had to argue with Helicati to the very end.

Even in the game's storyline, the player's role is essentially to provide full support and act as a part-time manager, which means accompanying Helica in writing lyrics and songs, relieving the pressure on her teammates, chatting about life, and fast-forwarding to the ultimate harmony of life.

But I'm supposed to be Helica's teammate!

This is terrifying!

First of all, she had no desire to play in a band.

Secondly, she didn't want to be forced by Helika to do band practice.

Finally, she didn't want Helica to scold her for not practicing for a long time.

She knew that Helica was a tsundere in the Xiaolongba community, but the tsundere trait is inherently controversial, and she didn't want to be driven half to death by her tsundere side.

Sorry, I misspoke. It should be Ao Chen. Helica is quite prone to becoming depressed.

“We can go out and work together! There are also many music stores that support installment payments. In short, let’s resolve the crisis of the company’s closure first.”
