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

Why are you here?!

Chapter Sixty: Why is he holding my wand?!

A mysterious magical girl walked slowly from behind Mizuno Yu, her appearance attracting everyone's attention. Even Mizuno Yu and Miyashita Mia, who were facing each other, put down their wands.

With each magical girl that appears, the situation becomes more complicated, as Mia has proven with her actions.

Enemy or friend? Everyone was pondering this question—except, of course, for Yuuki Yuki and Inuyama Tomoe.

"Why? Why are you here?!"

Baqi stared intently at the figure, her voice rising from a low tone to a roar.

Yuuki Yukino immediately realized what was going on.

There is only one magical girl whom Inuyama Tomoe knows but whom she does not.

The being she called the Mysterious One, the one who caused Tomoe and Yuuki to fall into darkness.

Baqi was able to recognize the other person because of that special magic.

If magic were to be given a concrete description, each magical girl would be a burning torch, shining brightly in the dark night where there is no magic. But when Yuuki Yukino senses the other's magic, the first word that comes to mind is... high beams.

Although it's a bit out of place, only the high beams are so dazzling and flamboyant among a group of torches.

The person she had been searching for had appeared right in front of her so openly. Yuuki Yuki didn't know how to react for a moment, but she felt that doing nothing was the best option.

She had already tasted the bitter fruit of rash actions enough, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble in a moment of impulsiveness.

Therefore, she suppressed the surging emotions in her chest and whispered a reminder to Ba Qi.

"Calm down."

Baqi pursed her lips, let out a long breath, and finally obediently closed her mouth.

Yuuki Yuki stared intently at her, but could not discern any information about her identity from her appearance.

Yuuki Yuuki isn't particularly sensitive about body shape. Among the many characters in the original work, unless they are petite like Helica or have exaggerated body shapes like Mia, she can't distinguish a person's identity just by their status.

As for her attire, the magical girl wore a floor-length black nun's habit and pure white silk gloves, with not an inch of her skin exposed to the air.

That's just a regular nun's uniform, not even a magical outfit. When a magical girl transforms, her clothes will automatically change into magical outfits, but that doesn't mean she can't wear other clothes over them after transforming.

Especially after seeing the bread paper bag with two holes cut out under the nun's headscarf and placed over her head, Yuuki Yuki became even more convinced that the other party was hiding her identity.

Bage was staring intently at the wand behind the mysterious woman in the nun's habit; without a doubt, it was her wand.

But that wand was completely unfamiliar to Yuuki Yuuki.

Using the quantifier "把" to describe this might not be accurate; the most appropriate quantifier would be "口".

The nun, dressed in black, carried a snow-white European-style coffin on her back.

The coffin was over two meters long, large enough to fit the girl completely inside, and even when it was carried diagonally behind her, it was still much taller than her.

The bread bag upside down on her head was somewhat comical, but even so, no one would look down on her because of her comical attire.

The interplay of black and white, the combination of a nun and a coffin—this seemingly contradictory yet inexplicably harmonious pairing, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, does not evoke a sense of holiness, but rather a chilling eeriness.

She never uttered a word, just walked on, and with each step she took, it seemed to tighten everyone's nerves even more, making the eerie atmosphere even more intense.

She passed by Mizuno Yu, raised her hand from under her nun's robe, and waved it behind her, signaling for Mizuno Yu to leave.

The movements were slow and gentle, yet they made it impossible for anyone to muster the will to resist.

"Thank you."

The increasingly intense cold around Mizuno Yu dissipated. She thanked the mysterious man, picked up the struggling Helica, and turned to leave.

Yuuki Yuki didn't move, nor did the exhausted Tomoe, but there were always those who resisted.

The person who took action was Miyashita Mia. She released Yuuki Yu's body and chased after Mizuno Yu in the direction she had retreated.

"Lilith!"

Without a single wasted word or a moment's hesitation, even someone as free-spirited as Miyashita Mia chose to greet him with a silent yet heavy blow.

The wand that had been used to unleash the true name emitted an unpleasant, ambiguous pink light, bypassed the girl carrying the coffin, and stabbed towards Mizuno Yu's back.

The mysterious magical girl reached her hand into the coffin behind her, and with a sickeningly heavy creak, the coffin lid opened a crack.

Because of the large nun's robes worn by the other person, Yuuki Yuuki could not see what was inside the dark coffin, but the magical girl's perception of magic told her that the magical power inside was astonishingly high.

The mysterious magical girl pulled something out of the coffin—or rather, the thing inside automatically wrapped itself around her hand.

Extremely fine red threads appeared in the magical girl's hand, rapidly and rhythmically weaving in the air to form a giant net that cut off the entire block, trapping the venomous snakes that were launching a surprise attack.

At the same time, Miyashita Mia, who was moving at top speed, stopped. A red blob blocked her neck, and it was stained even redder by her overflowing blood.

If she hadn't stopped, that red thread would have been enough to slit her throat.

But that's not all. As the girl's fingers moved like a dance, several more threads clung to Meiya's skin, completely restricting her movements.

“This… is impossible.” Yuuki Yui muttered to herself, looking down at the book in her hands in disbelief, then looking up at the tangled threads behind the mysterious magical girl, her pupils trembling violently.

The silk threads wrapped around the magical girl's hand were also a magic wand.

A magical girl cannot possess two wands at the same time; this is a rule for magical girls.

Rules can be broken. Characters that didn't appear in the game have appeared, and storylines that didn't happen in the game have occurred. Yuuki Yuuki has witnessed all of this firsthand.

But this one thing is impossible; that magic wand could not possibly belong to that mysterious girl.

The coffin creaked shut, and the girl carrying it finished. She turned her back to Yuuki Yuki and her group, and walked away with the same steps she had taken to get there.

"Who are you?!" Yuuki Yui strode forward with heavy legs and chased after him without hesitation.

Yuuki Yui knew that doing this was extremely irrational.

But she couldn't control herself. The appearance of that wand meant that her whole world had been turned upside down, and things far more complicated than she had imagined had already happened.

Of course, the girl, who was walking further and further away, did not answer.

"Tell me! Why do you have that wand?" Yuuki Yukino felt her voice crack as she shouted, coughing violently as she ran.

But the girl's steps did not stop.

"Why are you holding my wand?"

The girl walked on, and the distance between the two grew wider and wider.

"Why are you holding my Goddess of Love?!"

Chapter 61 Even if cracks appear, they will heal quickly.

Yuuki Yuki lay on the bed with lifeless eyes, her gaze fixed on the empty ceiling.

She was lying in a hotel near the city center. Not long ago, she had a dispute with four magical girls of varying degrees. Yuuki Yuuki could not go home directly after turning off her transformation.

Her phone was placed aside, its screen still lit, displaying her chat with Mizuno Yu, who was checking on her safety.

The message was sent after the battle ended. Yuuki Yui pondered for a long time before replying with a few polite words like "don't worry" and then tossed her phone onto the bed.

"Xiao Yuan? Are you alright?"

The silver-haired girl leaned over Yuuki Yuuki's head and carefully cleaned the small wounds on her body with cotton soaked in alcohol using small tweezers. Her side hair occasionally brushed against her skin as she moved.

The person with Yuuki Yuki was, of course, Inuyama Tomoe. The Inuyama family was also one of the shareholders of this hotel, which is why the two of them were able to check into the room so easily.

By the way, when she moved in, Baqi called her family, using the excuse that her friend was injured and needed to find a place to rest, and got their permission by attaching a photo of Yuki Yuki.

However, the injury cannot be used as an excuse. Yuuki Yuuki was indeed seriously injured, but the magical girl's innate regenerative ability is amazing. Even when she is not transformed, she will use magic to repair her body. Compared to when she felt like she was about to fall apart if she moved even slightly, she can now move freely without any problems.

Otherwise, if they have to rest in the hospital for several months after a fight, wouldn't magical girls be too pitiful?

Although Yuuki Yui's mind was wandering, her eyes were not focused on any one point. Baqi's face was a blur in her eyes, but the scene of chasing the girl in the nun's uniform appeared.

At that time, Yuuki Yui still couldn't catch up with the figure carrying the coffin. Even the tentacles she released with all her magic power were cut to pieces by the red lines wrapped in the air.

After that, Mia left without saying a word, and Yuuki Yuuki still doesn't understand why Mia appeared back then.

Yuuki Yukino's mind was in a mess, so messed up that she didn't want to think about these things at all.

She only knew one thing: the wand that the mysterious girl who caused her to fall into darkness used to repel Meya should have belonged to her.

The wand named Enmusubi was the wand that Enmusubi should have possessed before her fall from grace.

The wand called the God of Bonds is small and warm, carrying the power of bonds, transforming into a red thread of fate, bringing happiness to everyone connected to it.

Love binds all things, and love forms bonds. The God of Bonds is such a magic wand, possessing both ordinariness and power, born from the tenderest emotions of Yuuki Yuuki.

The wand might change after being corrupted, something Yuuki Yui had no experience with, but she didn't know the name yet. The wand that took the form of a book would definitely not be given that name again.

The thought of it made her feel incredibly irritated.

Am I really Yuuki Yuuki? Or could I actually be a clone of someone whose name starts with K, and the real Yuuki Yuuki is someone else?

Or perhaps I accidentally stole Yuuki Yuuki's body, and now the original owner has come back to seek revenge?

Otherwise, is it possible that the other person is actually your future self, who has mastered some method of time travel to come back and kill the past?

"Yuki! What are you thinking about?!" Baqi leaned over and shook Yuki's shoulder.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Yuuki Yuen was pulled back to reality from her reverie. She wanted to take this opportunity to vent her frustrations, but after seeing Baqi's concerned expression, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

In terms of being a victim, Baqi is the same, the only difference being the extent of the harm she suffered.

Moreover, if I hadn't specifically called Baqi here, perhaps she wouldn't have had to suffer those misfortunes.

So she couldn't say anything.

"No, it's nothing," Yuuki Yui changed her mind.

"Nothing? Yuuki has never told me her secrets before. Isn't that cunning?" Baqi stared straight into Yuuki's eyes, and no matter how Yuuki looked away, she would immediately turn around and follow her.

"It's nothing." The more worried Baqi was about her, the more Yuuki Yuuki felt guilty.

After a few tugs of the hand, Baqi's movements became increasingly impatient. Seeing that Yuuki had no intention of continuing the discussion, she had no choice but to quietly continue cleaning Yuuki's wounds.

But after this little argument, Baqi always seemed a bit absent-minded, and occasionally a few glances would be shot at Yuuki Yuki's expression, which Yuuki Yuki deliberately ignored.

When Baqi peeked at the wound, she accidentally gripped the alcohol swab too tightly, and the alcohol seeping into the wound made Yuuki Yuki flinch.

"I'm sorry, did I hurt you?" Ba Qi quickly placed the tweezers on the bedside table. The alcohol swabs held by the tweezers fell to the ground. She hurriedly bent down to pick up the alcohol swabs, and her uniform skirt accidentally knocked over the metal can containing the alcohol swabs, which clattered and rolled to the foot of the bed.

"I'm sorry, I've never treated anyone's wounds before, so I'm not very skilled." With each small mistake Baqi made, her expression grew more somber.

In the past, such a small wound would have healed on its own in a few days even if left untreated, let alone with the help of magic.
