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

“But the chairman of the board of directors of the Saint Yuu Academy can only be a ‘Saint’. Apart from Saint Shion, there is no one else…” Hyakki Senyou immediately rejected Genken Mashiro’s statement.

But before she could finish speaking, a possibility that she and everyone else had overlooked emerged.

There is actually another person who can be given the surname "Saint" and inherit the position of chairman.

Although she never refers to herself by this surname.

But that person is now standing right in front of them.

"Okay, got it?" Genken Mashiro raised an eyebrow. "That's right. It's better for us all to tell you this before you think I have some kind of scheme, isn't it?"

Although this action cannot dispel Yuuki Yuuki's suspicions about her, if Gorgen Mashiro really hides the fact that she has returned and conceals that she has become the new chairman of Seiyuu Academy, it will definitely cause even greater suspicion when it is discovered.

Just like the result-oriented thinking that Genjiro Mashiro mentioned earlier, Yuuki Yuuki noticed it and exposed her, which is why she learned about these things.

But where exactly did the other party begin their intervention? And how much did they know about her side? These were things that Yuuki Yukari didn't know about Urouge Mashiro, so she had no way of knowing.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I can't do anything. Believe it or not, I really can't do anything."

"What I want to say is, Miss Accomplice, I have never been your enemy."

Chapter Sixty-One: Is Everything Going Well After Halloween?

"Sorry! The situation was a bit unusual just now, so it took longer than expected."

Yuuki Yuki bowed deeply to Minato Nana, who was sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed, waiting for her to return.

"Hmm." Minato Nana snorted and swept her and Baqi's eyes over with a stern look that Yuuki Yuki had never seen before.

I did make a little mistake in what I did. It wasn't time to leave work yet, and all the customers in the store hadn't left, but I secretly followed Helica out.

Although Yuuki Yukina had asked Minato Nana for leave before running away, she was gone for much longer than she had expected.

After rescuing Hyakki Chiyu and Koumori from the other members of Nijisanji, and after they finished dealing with their own problems, they also managed to find Urouge Mashiro, who had suddenly appeared there. By the time they returned to the store after doing all of this, it was already past closing time.

"I'm so sorry!" Inuyama Tomoe bowed deeply along with Yuki Yuki. She had been called to work and skipped work with Yuki Yuki, which was actually more serious than Yuki Yuki's situation.

Even if there weren't many customers left at that time, skipping work was still skipping work, and it would definitely cause trouble for Minato Nana.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Minato Nana raised her nose and gave a cold snort.

"Deduct...deduct wages?" Yuuki asked tentatively.

"How much will you deduct?" Minato snorted again, her voice even louder than before.

"It all depends on what you think, Miss Minato, right? You decide how much to deduct, and that's how much we'll deduct..."

Although it hurts to have my salary deducted, I've already caused trouble for myself, and since Minato Nana asked the question, a problem that can be solved by deducting my salary isn't really a problem.

Even though she and her sister were former teammates, she didn't even know to be lenient!

Although Yuuki Yui thought this way, she still understood the principle of standing up straight when being beaten.

“Then, one week it will be.” Minato Nana said a very outrageous number.

Just because I went out for a short while, I got a whole week's work for nothing?!

But what could Yuuki Yukino do? What other option did she have besides agreeing?

Yuuki Yukino gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay! One week it is!"

"And what about you?" Seeing that Yuuki had agreed, Minato Nana turned her gaze to Tomoe.

“Huh? As for me…” Baqi hesitated for a moment. With her family’s financial situation, she was not short of this salary, but not being short of money and not wanting money were two different things.

Ba Qi gritted her teeth and said, "I'll listen to you too!"

"Oh, then you won't deduct it." Minato Nana's expression was extremely serious, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Yuuki Yukino's attention was entirely on Minato Nana, so there was no way she wouldn't notice such an obvious change in expression.

Minato Nana is taking this opportunity to bully me!

"Why should I?!"

"Because I know your sister, if I say another word, I'll deduct half a month's salary from your pay!" Minato Nana put on a stern face, the expression on her face looking out of place and even somewhat comical.

Having said all that, Yuuki Yukina realized that Minato Nana was joking with her and immediately retaliated.

"Miss Minato, it's even more inappropriate for you to know my sister..."

“A month! All gone!” Minato slammed her hand on the table, as if a judge in court had delivered a final verdict.

What could Yuuki Yukina say? After all, Minato Nana was the boss.

Seeing Yuki Yuki's embarrassed expression, Minato Nana completely dropped the pretense.

"Oh, why are you being so serious? I was just joking with you. Nishio told me everything."

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Yuuki Yuu became slightly alert.

Even though she knew that Nishio Reki would never tell Minato Nana about magical girls, she was still nervous.

"Your club has a lot of complicated love and hate relationships. Well, actually, there's no hatred, only love." Minato Nana looked up, savoring the juicy gossip she had just enjoyed.

What is it that only has love? What exactly did Reki say to Minato Nana?

"I told you that you wanted to make up with your friends from your previous club, but it was troublesome and everyone was too embarrassed to bring it up. You happened to see your friends from the club come to this store, so you tried to win them back in your own way, but you failed, so you chased after them. That's about it."

After changing his clothes, Nishio Reki pulled up a chair near the bar and sat down. He then repeated in his own words the parts that Minato Nana had said unclearly, which finally put Yuuki Yuki's mind at ease.

As expected of Nishio Reki, he even managed to rationalize all the strange behaviors in the store.

However, Nishio Reki couldn't recount even the most specific details, so Yuuki Yukino could only take what she said as fact.

"Ah, youth is so precious. We were like that back then too. When you're young, you do whatever comes to mind, and everyone's feelings are so strong." Minato Nana stretched and sighed.

“I remember once we had a live performance, and I don’t know what happened, but while we were singing, a little girl in the audience started crying and ran away, and then the group of people on stage started arguing.”

"Oh right, and another time, I don't know what got into that band, they pulled a lucky audience member onto the stage and started playing, and then everyone on stage was crying and singing. I've been there, I know what I mean."

It's definitely quite youthful. I know a lot of similar stories, like Yuki Eri, the lead singer of a band giving up the band to pursue flower arrangement, or the bear wearing a flying mecha and DJing on stage. It's normal for girl bands to be as abstract as they seem.

"So, you know, young people, although I'm quite young myself. Anyway, the shop wasn't busy back then, and I came here around that time too, so I can understand." After stretching, Minako leaned back on the sofa and yawned lazily.

"So, about the salary..." More than any exciting little stories, Yuuki Yuuki is most concerned about her salary right now.

"You really want me to deduct it? It's not impossible."

"Just kidding, just kidding."

This unforgettable Halloween night in every sense of the word has now come to a complete end.

The group tidied up the shop's decorations, stuffed them into boxes, and threw them into the backstage storage room, so they could be taken out and reused next year.

There was no way to make those jack-o'-lanterns made from real pumpkins, nor could there be any paper flags. As for the decoration of the dead tree, it was modified and a small blackboard was placed on it to serve as a new signboard that could be placed at the entrance of the shop.

While busy tidying up, Minato Nana asked Yuuki Yuki about the aftermath with great interest. Yuuki Yuki vaguely indicated that she ultimately failed to reconcile, but the relationships among the other members of the club had improved considerably.

Having come this far, Yuuki Yukino has done enough to repair the relationships within Nijisanji.

As for his good intentions, it doesn't matter if no one knows them. But if someone can notice the clues and carefully analyze his unusual behavior to deduce some of his plans, it's not impossible.

After all, whether it was themselves or Hong Moli and the others, many of their actions were rather deliberate, and such actions could not withstand close scrutiny.

Of course, this was something Yuuki Eri did intentionally.

On the way back, Yuuki Yukina recounted the last events of the night to Nishio Reki.

“It was said by Genki Mashiro herself that she just didn’t want Seiki’s most cherished place in the city to become a mess, and she happened to have the ability to save it, so she took over this mess from Seiki Shion.”

"Xiaoyuan, do you remember? The crisis I was talking about might be the one that all magical girls couldn't overcome. I'm not exaggerating, she might very well appear."

After listening to all this, Li suddenly brought up something that had been mentioned a long time ago.

"Why are you bringing this up?" Yuuki Yu was initially confused, but after connecting it to what she had just said, a new idea began to sprout in her mind.

"Was that crisis caused by Mashiro Gakuen?"

After asking this question, Yuuki Yukino herself denied it.

Xiao Li didn't know Genki Mashiro, otherwise she wouldn't have acted that way in Nijiha City, nor would she have been so confused by Genki Mashiro's scheme.

"Holy Prayer?"

Nishio Reki didn't give any verbal response, but her eyes said it all.

She seemed to be affirming her answer, but also unsure.

Yuuki Yukino had also asked about the crisis, but Nishio Reki classified it as top secret.

Saint Inori, the Saint Yuu Academy instructed by Genki Mashiro, and the original magical girl-related content—when these things are pieced together, some things seem to become clearer.

"The situation is probably worse than I remember."

This was the last thing Nishio Reki said before they parted ways.

The worse situation certainly doesn't just refer to the possibility that Yuuki Enishi might be corrupted by the Black Magic Mark; Nishio Reki's other meaning is also very clear.

If the mastermind behind that crisis was indeed the one who knew nothing about Yuuki Yuki except her name, then there would be an equally dangerous magical girl, capable of overturning Tsukimi City, standing on her side.

Even after returning home and washing up in the evening, Yuuki Yuki was still thinking about this matter when she lay in bed.

However, based on the survey of St. Yuu Academy, Koumori, the acting student council president, is definitely the most suitable candidate.

Genken Mashiro verbally agreed, stating that he would only be the headmaster of Seiyuu Academy and would not interfere with Koumori.

Regardless of whether what Mashiro Urokin is saying is true or not, the fact that she has led the clues to Seiyuu Academy and even herself indicates that she definitely has something she intends to let Yuuki and her group know, but doesn't intend to or can't tell them.

Using this as an excuse to get rid of Hong Moli might be a bit redundant.

As for whether it was related to the Holy Prayer she mentioned, Yuuki Yui really couldn't think of anything for the moment. The night before, she had racked her brains trying to figure out how to take this opportunity to repair the relationship with Nijisanji, but now her brain was really stuck.

But this kind of thing neither needs to be rushed nor can it be done in a short time.

Now, all Yuuki Eri needs to do is take a good rest to relieve the physical fatigue from three days of work and the immense mental burden of thinking about plans.

The idea was wonderful, but reality often doesn't go as she wished.

Although reality is full of unexpected events, Yuuki Yukino still doesn't like them happening.

Fortunately, the unexpected event she is facing is nothing unusual; it's just someone knocking on her door.

Not many people would visit her late at night. However, during the period when she first joined Rainbow Society, people would often come to her house. Even Lin Jiezi, who was socially anxious, visited her once.

Was it Baqi who sneaked over? Or perhaps it was Xiaoli who needed to discuss something with her? Or maybe it was her older sister who had rushed home for Halloween but, unusually, forgot her keys.

No matter who it is, if they know that you've been busy for several days with your part-time job and Nijisanji's affairs, and still choose to disturb your rest at this time, they are committing a heinous crime.
