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

Helica has come up with another excuse to abolish the company, intending to use it to take another step forward.

Helica's actions have a hint of moral blackmail, but the others have clearly stated that they don't want the company to just collapse like this, so it would be contradictory to say they disagree with Helica's idea now.

Yuuki Yukino began to regret saying those cooperative things earlier, expressing that she wanted to keep Nijisanji no matter what.

If this continues, Helica will be able to easily pull this strange team together.

“Um, Senior Tenrai, I have an idea.” Sakura Hanako raised her hand.

"Okay! Go ahead!" Helica pointed with her finger, excited that her plan was about to succeed.

"I actually checked before joining the club. Our club is a volunteer club, not a music club, right?"

"So, wouldn't doing volunteer work be a way to prevent the society from closing down?"

Chapter Thirty-Four: How could someone like that be a kindergarten teacher!

"so……"

Lava Lantern crossed his arms, separated from the others by a colorful little fence.

Loomaki's gaze swept over all the members of Rainbow Society standing opposite him, and his brows furrowed in a very unusual manner.

It's not uncommon for all members of Nijisanji to go out together, but it's rare for several of them to gather here in their uniforms on a weekend.

However, the mere mobilization of all members of Nijisanji would certainly not be enough to elicit such an expression from Laura Teng; there must be another reason for Laura Teng's inner turmoil.

Looking at the group of people, the lanterns turned back to the children playing in the yard, then to the huge sign hanging overhead with the words "Kindergarten" written in cartoon font, before finally shifting its gaze back to the group of people standing opposite.

After seemingly carefully considering his words, Lava Mountain Lantern spoke: "So, what are you guys doing here?"

"I'd like to ask you the same thing. What are you doing here? What mischief are you up to?" Helica asked, hands on her hips, her demeanor no less imposing.

Lava Lantern's stance is too ambiguous. In terms of identity, she is indeed a corrupted magical girl, but in terms of stance, she is completely a third-party force.

That's right. Considering his individual combat strength, Lava Lamp is not someone who wavers in his stance; he is comparable to an entire faction.

Rongshan Deng wasn't much older than the others, but she entered society early and worked hard. There must be a reason for this.

Looking at their current positions, it's not hard to guess why Lava Mountain Lantern seems a little conflicted.

A wayward girl dropped out of school early, had a daughter, was abandoned by her partner, worked desperately to earn money for her daughter's upbringing, and fell into depravity due to the immense pressure of raising a child, not wanting to join any organization...

Well, that makes sense; even the Lava Mountain Lantern has its difficulties.

But the answer given by Rongshan Deng surprised everyone.

"Because I have to go to work," Rongshan Deng answered decisively, gesturing towards the direction of the kindergarten.

"what?"

Despite the varying pitches of their voices, all the members of Nijisanji asked the question in unison, and even the usually aloof Mizuno Yu couldn't help but gape.

Considering Laughing Mountain's character, Yuuki En finds it even more surprising that Laughing Mountain would work at a kindergarten than that she secretly has a young daughter.

"Wait, wait...you? Kindergarten? Part-time job?"

Helica asked several questions with a look of surprise.

"Mm." Rongshan Deng nodded, his eyes so sincere that not a trace of impurity could be found.

"Her? At kindergarten? Working part-time?"

Helica turned around in disbelief and exchanged glances with the other members, trying to find some sense of belonging in their eyes.

But Helica was met with even more bewildered looks from the other four.

"Look." As if to prove the truth of what he said, Lance took out the plastic-sealed work certificate hanging around his neck from his clothes and waved it in front of Helica by the rope.

Herika, the most wary of Lamp Lava among the magical girls, widened her eyes and frowned as she carefully examined the ID Lamp Lava showed her. It clearly bore Lamp Lava's name and featured her photo with her short, un-dyed black hair.

After confirming that the documents were genuine, Helica took out her phone again to double-check the information. Once she was sure there were no mistakes, her expression became even more interesting, and her tone unconsciously softened a little.

"So your name is Rongshan Deng."

"Actually, I did mention her name," Mizuno Yu whispered to Sakura Hanako from behind.

Sakura Hanako had never fought against Kouyama, but she could get a general idea of ​​his personality from the other seniors. At this moment, she nodded, somewhat unaware of the truth.

Some time ago, Mizuno Yu was beaten half to death, and even earlier, someone saved Helica. Hanako knew that both were the work of Lava Mountain Lantern.

Despite the fact that her opponent was a corrupted magical girl, Hanako suppressed her urge to subdue her because of the disparity in strength and the fact that her opponent was not a particularly wicked enemy.

Hanako was confused, but Yuuki Yu and Mizuno Yu had truly been taught a lesson by Lava Mountain Lantern's unreasonable brute force, and were now genuinely bewildered by her behavior.

The fact that a battle maniac like Lava Mountain Lantern would work at a kindergarten is no laughing matter.

Just hearing this news, Yuuki En already imagined the scene of Lava Lantern leading the whole class of children to shout "Battle, awesome!"

Mizuno Yu imagined the children undergoing hellish, devilish training under the guidance of Lava Mountain Lantern.

I also fantasize about doing the grueling training, being yelled at and punished by the lava lamp, and pushing my body and mind to their limits.

It couldn't be that Lantern of the Mountain felt bored because no one was fighting her, so she started playing a nurturing game, thinking that magical girls should be raised from childhood, right? Yuuki Yuki thought.

But everyone is a magical girl, not a magical girl, so no matter how hard Lantern Lava Mountain tries, she can't turn these kids into magical girls right now.

What about the future? Will LavaMoonlight pursue a long-term, sustainable strategy?

One day in the future, a magical girl senses the power of a corrupted magical girl and rushes over to find her waiting for Lantern. At that moment, Lantern says, "I used to hold you when you were little." That scene would be quite amusing.

No, that's thinking too far ahead.

Perhaps because I've been thinking about what Koumori said about using a certain method to induce others to become magical girls, I naturally applied it to Laughing Mountain.

But seeing this work certificate confirms that Rongshan Deng works at the kindergarten.

"No, no, no, this is still too strange! Urokuji is too strange!" It seemed that only Herika was completely unable to accept reality.

While the group was talking, a little girl with pigtails ran from the yard to the gate, stopped beside Rongshan Deng, looked up at him, and blinked her innocent big eyes.

"Sister Lamp, what are you doing?"

"Sister is chatting with these ladies." Rongshan Deng squatted down, revealing a gentle smile that was completely different from her usual image, which gave the others goosebumps.

The little girl tilted her head and saw the people standing at the door, or more precisely, she saw Helica standing at the very front with an exceptionally interesting expression. Immediately, like a frightened little animal, she hugged Lava Lamp's waist and quickly hid behind him.

After a while, the little girl poked her head out from the waist of the lava lamp, patted her hands to catch her breath, and looked at the people standing opposite her with a curious gaze.

"Who are these ladies?"

“It’s someone my sister knows.” Rongshan Deng patted the little girl’s head and pushed her younger sister towards the yard: “Xiaohua, go back and play with the other children. Your sister will be right there.”

"Oh, goodbye, sister." The little girl nodded obediently.

"Goodbye." Lava Lantern, who had just stood up, waved to the little girl and returned to her usual expression, as if she wasn't the one who had just shown that gentle demeanor.

"It's...it's really true!" Herika was trembling all over, her teeth chattering, and her golden pupils were shaking so badly they were almost blurry.

"You've already seen my work certificate, why don't you believe me?" Rongshan Deng crossed his arms again.

“But! You are…” Herika stammered.

Without even needing to guess, Helica's occasional furtive glances at the black magic patterns in the eyes of the Lava Mountain Lamp revealed her true intentions perfectly.

"What's wrong with me?" Instead, Lava Mountain Lantern seemed to have no idea what Helica was talking about. She put her arms over her hips and asked confidently.

“You are…” Helica hesitated for a long time, and in the end she didn’t say the words “corrupted magical girl”, but the questioning tone revealed her true feelings: “How could you do this kind of work! What are you planning to do!”

"The salary is quite good, more than what I earn handing out flyers for restaurants. The work is easy, the kids are well-behaved, and the working hours are shorter than working in a restaurant," Rongshan Deng said, listing his reasons for choosing this place.

It's so simple and unpretentious that it's impossible to refute.

"But, and, what about your expression! That expression! It was terrifying!" Helica was already so shocked that she was incoherent.

"Expression?" Lava Mountain Lantern paused for a moment, then replied with a sudden realization, "It's a basic professional quality."

She truly deserves to be called a working warrior; she'll do anything to earn a living, and Yuuki Yuki really admires her for that.

"You still haven't said what you're planning to do?" Rongshan Deng finally returned to the starting point and asked the question he had asked at the beginning.

“Well then, let me explain.” It was Yuuki Yuuki’s turn to step in. “First of all, we formed a club at school.”

Lava Mountain Lantern nodded: "Well, and then?"

"Because we haven't held any activities, our club is going to be disbanded," Yuuki Yuen continued.

“Indeed.” Lava Mountain Lamp nodded again.

"Therefore, we need to organize club activities and submit club activity reports to avert the crisis of the club's demise. That's why we're here today for volunteer activities." Yuuki Yuen succinctly explained the situation in just three sentences.

“What about the band? They haven’t told us about the band yet!” Helica chimed in from the side.

"Senior Tenrai, please don't bring up such unrealistic suggestions as a band again," Sakura Hanako reminded her.

"A band? What's wrong with a band now?"

"No, that's not important. What's important is that this is where we're doing our volunteer service today."

Just as Laughing Mountain showed interest, Yuuki Eri quickly changed the subject.

It took a lot of time to persuade Helica to give up her unrealistic idea of ​​forming a band, which finally made her reluctantly put aside the idea of ​​forming a band to prevent the club from disbanding.

It should be put on hold for now.

If we bring it up again, who knows how long it will take to persuade her to stay.

"Oh, so you're the volunteers we agreed on today." Rongshan Deng nodded belatedly, reaching out to pull open the colorful little fence used to prevent children from running out of the school gate.

"Since you knew there were volunteers today, you should have confirmed it beforehand!"

The budding idea of ​​reforming the band was nipped in the bud, and Helica was still upset.

"I've been checking all along. Didn't I ask you what you were doing here from the beginning?" Lava Lamp said innocently.

“You?!” Helica was speechless.

Despite a minor hiccup, in order to save Nijisanji from collapse, everyone has finally taken the first courageous step.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Playing games with kids is exhausting!

"Hello kids~ We are members of the Rainbow Club from Yuehai Middle School. We're here today to play with you all. We hope we have a great day!"

Standing on the podium, Yuuki Yukina cupped her face, maintaining a warm smile as she spoke to the children sitting on small stools in a high-pitched voice.

At Yuuki Yuki's prompting glance, all the members of Nijisanji bowed to the audience below the stage.

"Wow!"
