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

In short, the more stickers you add, the more types of wands you can create.

It sounds easy, but isn't this just blatantly asking you to accept your corrupted identity and humiliate people everywhere?

The current situation cannot be described as pessimistic, but it is not optimistic either. If nothing is done, things will definitely develop in a bad direction.

Even without transforming, Yuuki Yukino has things she can do.

Yuki Yui pulled her chair back to ensure that all three people could be in her field of vision at the same time. Her main target, of course, was the silent Lin Jiezi.

"From what you're saying, I think the coffin woman that Tianlei mentioned is probably on our side, right? Should we find her and have her join us?"

Chapter Sixty-Five: This child is in danger!

"Should we find the coffin woman and have her join us?"

Yuuki Yukino offered her suggestion aptly.

According to Baqi, Yuuki Yuuki is certain that the coffin woman and the mysterious person are the same person, and finding her true identity has become the top priority.

Since that person possesses the method to directly corrupt magical girls, they also likely have a method to remove the corrupted state. If they could remove the corruption, there would be no need to go to such great lengths to devise a plan to whitewash them.

One person's strength alone is too weak, which is why we need to bring more people in.

Moreover, having Yuuki Yuen bring this up is also very beneficial to her: in terms of identity, Yuuki Yuen, as someone being protected, offered the advice she should have, allowing her to transition from a protected figurehead to a helpful companion; in terms of information, she can also determine whether the mysterious person has had more contact with Mizuno Yu; and importantly, she needs to observe Hayashi Mustard's reaction.

“I wanted to say that too. We were in such a rush during the retreat yesterday that we couldn’t get in touch with her.” Of the three, only Mizuno Yu gave the most formal answer: “She will help us; she should be on our side.”

Herika was already in a daze from being whipped by Yuuki and was only focused on crying, which is why she was taking the lead in the explanation today to cover up her shameful side. In fact, she didn't pay much attention to the coffin woman's movements.

Lin Jiezi did not react.

If her screaming and lowering her head because Yuuki Yuki was staring at her the whole time counts, then that would barely be considered her only reaction.

"Everyone agrees, right? Does that mean we'll have to add another task to our Rainbow Society's mission?" Yuuki Yui pushed forward forcefully, believing that if she could reach a consensus with others on a certain goal, things would be much easier in the future.

The other two, besides Lin Jiezi, nodded in agreement.

“Alright, then it’s settled.” Yuuki Yui clapped her hands to make the decision, and then proposed the next round of probing for Hayashi Mustard. “By the way, when I came to school this morning, I did a little research, and it turns out that Miyashita Mia isn’t the only student who hasn’t been to school for the past few days. There’s also Nishio Reki from our class, Kaneda Momoka from the third year, and…”

When Nishio Reki's name was mentioned, Yuuki En noticed that Hayashi Mustard still didn't react.

Was this test really too naive?

Even today, Nishio Reki's disappearance remains a thorn in Yuuki Yuuki's side. She could not possibly develop any special feelings for Nishio Reki suddenly, but seeing a girl injured or even missing would certainly be unbearable for her.

Moreover, Nishio Reki is the biggest turning point.

“Oh right, we still have an even more important task to complete!” Helica suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up, cutting off Yuuki Yukina’s half-finished sentence.

"An even more important task?" Yuuki asked, puzzled but also slightly worried that Herika might bring up some details she hadn't noticed.

"A celebration party for the founding of Nijisanji!"

Fortunately.

“We now have four people, and the Rainbow Society has been officially established. The society is nominally a volunteer society, but it’s not easy for us to get together, so we definitely have to have a celebration banquet!” Herika clapped her hands and said enthusiastically.

“I’m not going to a family restaurant,” Mizuno Yu said.

"Who's going to a family restaurant? How can a victory celebration be held at a family restaurant?"

Acting together would indeed be a good opportunity to strengthen their bond, and Yuuki had no reason not to support it, so she expressed her agreement with Helica: "Where are you planning to go that day, Ray-kun?"

“This is the second question. The first question you should ask is: What do you want to eat?” Helica held up a finger, shook it, clicked her tongue twice, and looked at Lin Jiezi.

"What...what do you want to eat?" Lin Jiezi was enveloped by that intense gaze, her hand holding the chopsticks trembling slightly as she weakly responded.

Let's go get some barbecue this weekend!

Ring ring ring.

The discussion about what happened last night had already taken up a lot of lunch break time, and with the preparatory bell ringing, the discussion about the barbecue had to be temporarily put to an end.

Throughout the noon, Yuuki Yui did not obtain any particularly important information, but she did put finding the mysterious person on the Nijisanji's agenda, which was quite a fruitful result.

But she always had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

What is it?

This matter troubled Yuuki Yukino for the entire afternoon, and she still couldn't figure it out until the very last second before Helica personally escorted Yuuki Yukino and Hayashi Keiko to their doorstep.

At the time, Yuuki Yukino's purpose was simply to observe whether Hayashi Keko would react to Nishio Reki's name. Looking back now, this method of testing was extremely naive.

If it really is related to Lin Jiezi, the fact that she dared to act so suspiciously and startled means that she is confident she won't be discovered, or perhaps she doesn't care even if she is discovered.

If it had nothing to do with Lin Jiezi, her probing would become inexplicable, only making Lin Jiezi and the other two even more suspicious.

Because her attention was entirely focused on Lin Jiezi, she overlooked the fact that Helica had interrupted her.

Just by recalling the scene briefly, the answer becomes obvious: if he continued talking, he would inevitably mention the name of the senior that Helica had mentioned.

Yuuki Yui then realized that what was strange was not that she suddenly suggested eating barbecue, nor what she suggested was important at all; what was important was that she interrupted her.

Previously, whenever someone mentioned that senior, Helica would forcefully change the subject.

Even if it's in a way that's not typical of Helica, should she still try to prevent others from finding out about that senior's identity?

Having gone this far, Helica has negatively impacted the normal plot development and even the duties of a magical girl.

For the past few days, Helica has been forcing herself to push things forward. This strange state of excitement has lasted for quite some time. Today, she finally started to feel better, but then she turned into this again because of something she said.

Helica has started to become neurotic.

Even if Helica almost sent her to heaven, Yuuki wouldn't care. But she was very concerned about the extent of Helica's neurotic behavior.

"I need to think of a way to comfort Helica." Yuuki Yuuki lay on the bed, her hands behind her head, swaying as she pondered.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but when Yuuki Yukino opened her eyes again, it was completely dark outside the window.

Sure enough, after such a battle last night, and another "battle" with Baqi, plus a full day of classes today, it's only natural that I'm exhausted.

"Maybe I should rest early tonight," Yuuki Yui thought, changing her clothes and preparing to take a shower before going to bed.

A knock at the entrance froze Yuuki Yukino in her tracks as she was about to take off her skirt.

Yuuki Yui ran all the way to the door and saw the knocker's identity through the peephole.

Lin Jiezi?

"Um... Yuuki-kun...can we talk?"

Chapter Sixty-Six Social Anxiety

Lin Jiezi, this unexpected visitor, was something Yuuki Yuuki could never have imagined.

Seeing her appear at the door was like a cold carbonated drink exploding in my brain; I was stunned for a long time before finally opening the door for her.

Lin Jiezi was dressed casually in a white shirt and beige trousers, a common outfit that could be seen anywhere, and it looked even more ordinary given Lin Jiezi's relatively plain appearance.

But in Yuuki Enoki's eyes, Hayashi Mustard was anything but ordinary; judging people by their appearance was a major taboo.

Moreover, Lin Jiezi is Yuuki Yuki's number one suspect.

Yuki En was still unclear about Lin Jiezi's purpose in coming, but Yuki En judged that the other party was probably not just there for casual conversation as she claimed.

Lin Jiezi's social anxiety remained unchanged, even when standing in front of Yuki Yuki.

Still pretending to be innocent? Yuuki Yuen thought to herself as she made way for Hayashi Keiko.

Yuuki Yukino also wanted to transform and give her two punches like she did yesterday. If Hayashi Kikuko were also a magical girl, she wouldn't disregard her own safety and not transform.

But having learned from yesterday's experience, she didn't know if Herlica, who had walked home with her, was secretly watching her from outside the door. And if Lin Jiezi really wasn't a magical girl, she had done something terribly wrong.

Yuuki Yukino wouldn't reveal her claws before Lin Jiezi showed her fangs.

"Please come in."

"Thank you!"

Lin Jiezi nodded vigorously a few times, lowered her head, and entered Yuki Emi's house. The heavy security door closed behind her.

Lin Jiezi was wearing ordinary sneakers. After entering the room, under the gaze of Yuki Emi, Lin Jiezi lifted her foot, hooked the heel with her index finger, took off the shoe and held it in her hand, and did the same with her other hand.

Next, Lin Jiezi arranged the two pairs of shoes neatly on the shoe rack by the door, and even pushed them together to make sure they were on the same horizontal line.

"Excuse me!" Lin Jiezi bent her waist at a ninety-degree angle to the ground, bowed deeply, placed her hands in front of her, then uneasily shrank back behind her, fiddled with her fingers a few times, and then let them hang down.

"Hmm, what's wrong? Come in quickly." Yuuki Yui, who had been watching all this, frowned slightly and invited him with a polite smile.

"Um, I, uh, the restroom..." Lin Jiezi looked around, seemingly genuinely searching for the restroom.

The bathroom? Doesn't she live next door to me? Why would she come all the way to my house to use the bathroom?

Yuki Yui had no reason not to tell her, so she walked to the light switch and turned on the bathroom light for Hayashi Kikuko: "The bathroom is over here."

"Okay, thank you..." Lin Jiezi walked into the bathroom and closed the door. Then there was the sound of running water from the faucet, which lasted for a few seconds before the door was pushed open again.

During this time, Yuuki Yui kept a close eye on the movement of magic, and she was sure she would notice if the other party did anything that only a magical girl would be able to detect.

But nothing happened. Lin Jiezi clasped her two wet hands together and wiped the water droplets from her hands on the hem of her white shirt.

Did she really just wash her hands?

Yuuki Yuki didn't quite believe it, but asking at this level shouldn't be a problem.

"Lin, you didn't come to my house just to wash your hands, did you?"

Yuuki Yukino's voice was light and cheerful, and she had a smile on her face as she cracked a small joke.

"No, that's not it. I... touched the shoes."

Huh? Just because of that?

Yuki En's opinion of Hayashi Mustard changed slightly.

Her treatment of Lin Jiezi could be described as politeness, but everything Lin Jiezi did was called courtesy.

While excessive politeness can become overly formal, the distinction between etiquette and politeness is not something that can be easily faked.

Yuuki En never even considered the idea of ​​washing her hands after taking off her shoes when visiting someone's home.

Is it just my imagination? It seems like Lin Jiezi's speech has become less hesitant.

I really wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Lin Jiezi, but I never had a suitable opportunity. Regardless of Lin Jiezi's purpose, this was an excellent opportunity.

"Please sit down, Lin. I'll go get some drinks."

Lin Jiezi draped one side of the sofa, pressing half of her buttocks onto it, leaning slightly forward, as if she could stand up immediately at the slightest movement from Yuki Yuki.
