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

Even though she didn't have much contact with Inuyama Baki, Helica still had a basic understanding of Baki.

Inuyama Hatsuki has always been very easygoing, giving the impression that she can get perfect results by doing things casually.

The fact that Inuyama Tomoe would make that expression, combined with her description, suggests that the story between them was an extremely complex love triangle, something that would definitely trouble them and that they would absolutely not want to talk about.

Although Helica was somewhat curious, she knew better than to ask questions she shouldn't.

At least I won't ask now; I can ask Yuuki Yuki privately when I have the chance later.

Yuuki looked at Inuyama Tomoe with concern and quietly squeezed her hand on the back of her hand.

Although such actions were somewhat of an act intended for Helica and Sainte-Synn to see.

However, because of her own needs, she brought up this matter that no one wanted to mention again, and Yuuki Yukari's guilt towards Tomoe was genuine.

While doing this, Yuuki Yuki was also secretly observing Helica's reaction out of the corner of her eye.

She orchestrated all this trouble to weather the crisis caused by Saint Shion's sudden visit, which intensified Helica's suspicions.

Helica remained silent and did not press the matter further; her goal had been achieved.

Next, we must press our advantage and not give Sheng Shiyin any opportunity to reveal any unnecessary information.

The atmosphere was just right, given the conflict between the people mentioned and Ba Qi's obvious rejection.

Very good, Baqi, you've done enough. Now leave the rest to me.

"If I remember correctly, the school trip for St. Eternal Academy should be in the spring, and today is not a weekend break."

Yuuki Gen gently patted Baqi's hand. Feeling the gentleness of Yuuki Gen's palm, Baqi's tense nerves finally relaxed.

"At this time, the headmaster of St. Yuu Academy boarded a train to Rainbow Leaf City with so many servants. Does he have some other plans?"

Let's get straight to the point.

In the original work, the character of Seishin is quite vague, and is more like a connecting role, rather than a distinct one, unlike the combination of Kuroba Reisei or the little ghost and the little vampire.

Or rather, the existence of such a BOSS is necessary for Saint Shion to exist in the game.

Being unable to see through Seishion is not the same as knowing nothing about Seishion. Seishion also has her own plans, such as betraying Kuroba Reisei and seducing Inuyama Tomoe. She is not the kind of person who reveals everything.

Although there was an element of gambling involved, Yuuki Yuuki was adamant that Seishin would not say anything strange like "I'm interested in you" at this point, let alone reveal her true intentions.

Giving Yuuki Eri a question that Sei-on cannot answer is a huge gamble.

Referring to the "nun" as a "servant" was also a subtle way of showing Helica that he didn't know the inside story.

So, what will the outcome be?

"The headmaster also has her duties." Sheng Shiyin, who had been leaning on the back of the chair, stood up and shook her head a few times to loosen her neck, which was sore from looking down for so long.

"I happened to see some familiar faces on the train, and it would be impolite not to say hello. But I got so engrossed in listening to your conversation that I became quite absorbed."

As she spoke, Sheng Shiyin walked to the aisle between the seats, slightly bending her knees. Even though she wasn't wearing a skirt and was dressed in very casual clothes, this simple gesture still revealed her unique temperament.

This is the quality that every student at St. Eternal Academy should possess.

Until the very end, Sheng Shiyin did not utter a single word of apology.

Whether she feels remorse for her actions remains unknown.

She effortlessly brought her bloodless surprise attack to an abrupt end.

"Then, I won't disturb your conversation any longer."

Won.

Despite its numerous flaws, the bomb was ultimately not detonated at the very beginning of the school trip.

In order to prevent the hidden dangers caused by the bomb's detonation, we can only rely on ourselves to slowly eliminate them.

Yuuki lowered her eyes, secretly relieved, and leaned back in her chair.

After calming down, Yuuki Yuuki realized that she had just made an extremely big mistake.

During the exchange just now, only two people remained silent.

The ambiguous stance of Nishio Reki, and the consistently silent Hayashi Mustardo.

Lin Jiezi's eyes were fixed on the direction where Sheng Shiyin had left.

It seems like it's been like this since the very beginning.

Helica may have some guesses about Saint Shion's identity, or she may not, but Helica certainly wasn't sure about the other person's true identity, just as Helica hadn't figured out her own identity.

Otherwise, given Helica's personality, she certainly wouldn't have let Saint Shion put on that farce that no one could enjoy.

But this is only directed at Helica.

Yuki En overlooked the fact that Hayashi Keiko had brought up the matter during their only unusual conversation.

Lin Jiezi also possesses a god-like perspective, enough to recognize every magical girl.

What he had just done had already proven to Lin Jiezi that he and Sheng Shiyin, that corrupted magical girl Sheng Shiyin, had some connection.

In a soft sleeper carriage, a few carriages away from where Yuki Eri was located.

“Your Excellency, you are being a bit too extreme.”

One of the accompanying nuns refilled the already empty paper cup in front of Saint Shiyin with more than half a cup of tea, then obediently sat back on the bed opposite, folding her hands and lowering her head even further.

"Indeed, this level of probing is a bit too naive. I thought she would try her best to give herself away in front of the other three people."

Saint Shiyin raised the paper cup to her lips, but put it down before her lips touched the liquid inside.

"Also, just call me Saint as before. The burdens of being a bishop and dean are too heavy for me."

“Holy Lord…” the nun changed her address naturally.

“Saint, is that alright? Everyone else calls me that too, it's a bit troublesome to teach you all one by one.” Saint Shiyin tilted her head back and turned to look at the nun sitting opposite her:

"It's quite remarkable that Yuuki Yukino could remain so calm and evasive even after I exposed her identity. Isn't she worried about her true identity being exposed to ordinary people?"

“I don’t think they need to worry about such things,” the nun offered her opinion, but then trailed off without finishing her sentence.

Sheng Shiyin narrowed her eyes and twirled the paper cup in her hand: "What do you want to say?"

With Saint Hymn's permission, the nun continued speaking.

"Don't underestimate them, Your Excellency. If their identities are exposed to ordinary people, their best course of action is to eliminate them silently."

"Hmm." Saint Shiyin continued to gesture with her eyes for the nun to continue speaking.

“They are currently on a school trip, and being in an unfamiliar city is the perfect opportunity for them to take action. It’s clear at a glance whether exposing their identities or their group members is more important.”

"Oh." Saint Shiyin still did not offer her own opinion.

"Saint, Yuuki Yuuki, and Inuyama Tomoe, both of them are corrupted magical girls capable of defeating former President Kuroba. You should know more about corrupted magical girls than anyone else."

"They cannot be viewed through the lens of normal ethics. Even if they are not controlled by the Black Magic Marks, they will still be subtly changed. The Fallen Magical Girls are such an existence."

"Hiss." The liquid swirling in Saint Shion's glass rippled a few times in her stopped hand before finally settling at the rim: "You still don't understand Yuuki Yukino."

“Saint is right.” The nun lowered her head and accepted Saint Shiyin’s rebuttal with utmost respect.

"Ah, in short, I didn't think things through before. I should have proceeded with the probing of Yuuki Yukino more slowly." Seishin stretched.

“But Saint has already shown himself to Yuuki Yukino. Won’t they have any doubts?” the nun asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, it was just a simple greeting. I'll be more careful in the future."

Saint Hymn spoke in a light, airy tone, her heavy gaze hidden behind her eyelids.

"I haven't forgotten why I came to Rainbow Leaf City."

Several days ago, at the Holy Age Academy.

On the wide stone pulpit, the nun-dressed hymn finished her last prayer and reopened her somewhat cloudy eyes.

Saint Shion's nun's habit slowly melted away, transforming back into the uniform of Saint Yuu Academy.

Today's prayers did not go well either; I was distracted and mispronounced several syllables in the hymn.

This isn't the first time; every Sunday, Shengshiyin makes this kind of silly mistake.

The nuns below the platform had gradually risen, awaiting Saint Hymn's command.

Saint Shiyin cleared her mind of all distractions, waved her hand, and signaled that the nuns could disperse on their own.

With the bishop's permission, the nuns slightly raised their hands, which were hanging at their sides, and bowed in unison to the Holy Hymn before emerging one after another from the heavy, massive door.

But some people remain here.

"Is there anything else?" Saint Shiyin stepped down from the podium and stopped in front of the nun.

"Your Excellency..." the nun began hesitantly.

“Just call me Saint,” Saint Shion interrupted, just as she had done countless times in the past and would do in the future.

"Your Holiness, there is some new information regarding Yuuki Yuki, whom you have been particularly concerned about," the nun said respectfully.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Upon hearing the news about Yuuki Yukino, Seishine's eyes flickered.

"The school trip for Moonsea Middle School starts next week," the nun continued.

"Oh." This kind of news didn't mean much to Sheng Shiyin.

"Our destination is Rainbow Leaf City."

Saint Shiyin's hand, hanging by her side, twitched, and she swallowed hard.

"Lord Saint?"

"I understand, you can go back now."

Saint Shiyin waved her hand anxiously.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Wait a moment."

Before the girl left the room, Sheng Shiyin called her back again.

"Could you find out the dates for the school trip from Moonsea Middle School? I also want to go to Rainbow Leaf City."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the last nun left, the room returned to silence.
