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

"But there's no one else here now, and no one can see you. Look, even the lights aren't on. Why hasn't that infamous pink devil made a move yet?"

Yuuki Yui didn't need to take Helica's jab; to her, such words sounded like mockery, completely meaningless. On the contrary, her own reply would be a sign of her insecurity.

"Because this is your home? You're afraid that if we fight, we'll destroy your home and your peaceful life, so you don't dare to lay a hand on me?"

Herika's words were soft, gentle as a whisper, unlike her usual tone, and could only be clearly heard in the absolute silence of the room.

Yuuki Yuuki's eyebrows twitched. Herika was right about part of it. If this wasn't her home, and no one was watching, the simplest thing to do would be to use Yuuki's transformation to wrap Herika up like a dumpling and throw her out.

“Or rather…” Helica leaned closer to Yuuki, meeting her gaze directly as she avoided her eyes: “What special feelings do you have for me?”

Yuuki Yukina's expression, which had been as solid as an iron plate, couldn't hold back for a moment. Even though she forced herself to keep her facial muscles from becoming too strange, she still inevitably left Helica with a huge flaw.

baffling!

Noticing the change in Yuuki Yuuki's expression, Helica seemed to become more serious as well, allowing Yuuki Yuuki to see the shadow of that strong girl from the past in her, and her consistently forceful and thunderous style of doing things.

Herlica's hand slipped through Yuuki Yuuki's pink hair, as if to stroke Yuuki Yuuki's cheek, but ultimately pressed firmly against the back of the sofa Yuuki Yuuki was leaning against.

Yuuki Yui rolled her eyes and glanced at Herika's hand pressed against her side, her heart skipping a beat.

Helica is about to make a move; every action she takes could be a signal of transformation. At such close range, Yuuki Yuuki must be on high alert and prepare for the impact of Helica's transformation.

That's right, the hand that was pressed on the back of the sofa was just a starting signal, and Herika started moving as well.

It was much slower than Yuuki Yuki had anticipated; the person who moved was only Helica, not the magical girl Helica.

Using the sofa as support, Helica lifted herself up, revealing the wrinkles left on the sofa cushions where the girl had sat.

The girl who got up raised the leg that was farther away from Yuuki Yuen, easily passing over Yuuki Yuen's knee, and bent over to place her other hand on the other side of Yuuki Yuen's head.

The petite girl didn't touch Yuuki Yu, but now that she was standing in front of Yuuki Yu, bending down and staring straight at him, blocking his movements with her hands was no easier for him than touching her directly.

If I had to describe this pose, it would probably be called a "wall slam" (壁咚).

However, Yuuki Enishi was sitting down, and there was no wall behind her, so she wouldn't feel her heart racing because of this behavior.

My heart was probably racing, probably due to the tension of not knowing Helica's true purpose.

Yuuki Yukino's gulping sounds when she was nervous were exceptionally clear, uncontrollably revealing that her mood was not as calm as it appeared.

Whether Yuuki Yuuki could remain calm was not important; what mattered was that Helica did something that made it even harder for her to remain calm.

He bent his knees and pressed them, along with his calves, onto the sofa beneath Yuuki Yuki, shifting his weight from his feet on the ground to his legs, which were straddling the sofa.

Then the weight shifted again, and the girl's soft body pressed down on Yuuki Yuki's thigh.

Amidst Yuuki's even more confused and displeased expression, Helica sat directly on Yuuki's lap.

Herica's body was very soft, and the large mounds of soft flesh that came into contact with Yuuki Yuki's legs always made Yuuki Yuki's attention unconsciously wander.

If sitting side by side just now could be explained by Yuuki Yuki's illusion, then Helica pressing down on him in the dim light could only be described as an ambiguous atmosphere.

If the other party wasn't someone who came knocking on her door, but rather a magical girl from an opposing force with whom she had an inextricable entanglement, Yuuki Yukino would definitely be somewhat tempted.

But it was precisely because of Helica's special identity that Yuuki Yuuki was at a loss.

While Yuuki was at a loss, Helica wasn't just sitting still in that position.

A hand that was resting against Yuuki Yuuki's side was pulled back to Helica's front, then grabbed the collar of Yuuki Yuuki's pajamas and pulled it towards her.

The force pulled Yuki Yuki's back off the sofa, causing the button on her pajama collar that she was holding to pop open.

“Look at me, Yuuki Yuzuri.” Helica said, pulling her fist, which was gripping her collar, up slightly, her clenched fingers lifting Yuuki Yuzuri’s chin, forcing Yuuki Yuzuri to look at her.

Yuuki Yuki's upper body, which was half-suspended in mid-air, was almost pressed against Helica's body by Helica's force.

The enormous treasure chest, belonging at least to Yuuki Eri, clashed against Helica's barren body.

Yuuki Yukino could also feel the pounding heart in Helica's chest and her steady yet slightly disordered breathing.

These were the culprits that Helica questioned herself about, and along with her questioning, turned her mind into a complete mess.

"Look at me, and tell me, what kind of feelings did you have for me that led you to do all these things?"

Chapter Sixty-Three: The Most Hated Guy in the World

Yuuki Yukino felt her brain was starting to malfunction.

From the moment Helica walked in, he had absolutely no idea what she was thinking.

Every step Herika took, every action she took, and every word she uttered was beyond Yuuki Yuuki's expectations.

I must be dreaming, otherwise how could I encounter such a strange thing?

A magical girl, whom he had tricked, suddenly barged into his house, grabbed his clothes, pinned him down, and asked him if he had any special feelings for her.

No one would believe such a thing if it were told to others. Even if it were stuffed into a doujinshi world where logic is completely irrelevant, or a doujinshi about depravity, such a development would still seem inexplicable and forced.

The only plausible explanation that Yuuki Yukino could think of was that Helica had become so enraged that she was planning to take action against her.

Execution, trial, the kind of action that renders oneself unable to rise again, the kind of action that sends a magical girl to her death.

This is just foreplay, a provocation before it even begins.

Helica probably knew that this was her home, and that it would be difficult for her to do anything in her own home, which is why she was so fearless.

Helica might indeed think that way, after all, Helica's impression on Yuuki Yuuki is that of the simple-minded type.

If she thinks that way, then she is very wrong.

If Helica really puts herself in a dead end, even if her future might be very difficult and she has to risk having her identity exposed to everyone to continue living in Moonsea City, she will not sit idly by and wait for death.

Now is not the time for selflessness; Yuuki Yukino would never accept being disposed of without any chance to fight back.

But even if Helica is simple-minded, she wouldn't be able to judge that she wouldn't really fight to the death when her life is threatened, right?

Yuuki Yukino stared at Helica before her, speechless for a long time.

Noticing Yuuki's gaze, Herlica raised her eyebrows even higher, in response to Yuuki's look.

Herika, this easy-going child, gave Yuuki Yuuki a feeling of being unable to understand her.

The tone of her voice now didn't seem like she was going to do anything inappropriate to me; on the contrary, it really sounded like she was teasing me.

"What are you thinking about? Is my question so difficult to answer?"

Therefore, the idea of ​​judging oneself is also impossible, although it is one of the more plausible thoughts among the many impossible ideas that Yuuki En is indulging in.

"Ok?"

Yuuki Yui's prolonged silence was met with a soft exclamation from Helica, who then lifted her lower body from her thighs, rubbed it forward a little, and pressed her body directly against Yuuki Yui's waist.

Despite the extremely unfavorable timing, being so close, with Helica's fist pressing against his chin and forcing him to look up at Helica's face, even if it was just a physiological instinct, Yuuki Yuuki's heart was beating very fast.

Without even looking, Yuuki Yuki could tell that her cheeks were burning.

Herlica's cheeks were flushed as well, a faint blush on her skin. Yuuki couldn't tell if it was because they were standing too close and Herlica felt a little hot, or if there were some other feelings involved.

"So, I should ask for the third time, Yuuki Yukino, am I that special to you?"

He had been led by the nose by Helica the whole time.

This was completely inconsistent with his previous portrayal of a villainous leader. No matter how wildly he guessed, he couldn't figure out what Helica was thinking or what her purpose was in visiting him so late at night.

Instead of engaging in self-doubt and wasting a lot of energy on internal conflicts, it's better to learn from what Inuyama Tomoe has always done.

Discard all the messy speculations and tedious formalities, get things straight, and solve the problem in the most direct and straightforward way.

"You're talking to a corrupted magical girl who's planning to harm you in this way, and saying things like that. Do you really think that's appropriate?"

Having already made her next move, Yuuki raised her eyebrows and responded to Helica's offensive with her assertive side without any hesitation.

Having clarified what she should do, Yuuki Yukino felt much more confident. After blinking a few times, her eyes, which had been filled with questions and surprise, completely abandoned any emotions that shouldn't have been revealed, leaving only cunning and undisguised provocation.

"Or is it that you've finally changed your mind, intending to sever ties with those magical girls and throw yourself into my arms?"

Yuuki, whose collar was still being held by Helica and was being crumpled, straightened her upper body and moved her face closer to Helica's. Her hand, which had been hanging on the sofa, was placed naturally on Helica's waist.

This literal embrace was her way of responding to Helica.

But that's where it ends. Yuuki Yuki doesn't dare to do anything more outrageous. She needs to proceed step by step in this psychological battle with Helica. If she acts too intimately, Helica will know that she has revealed all her cards.

Yuuki Yukino said this as she launched a psychological offensive against Helica, but she didn't think what she said was the truth.

She believed that Helica was the best magical girl. Even though she had her own personality flaws and sometimes did things that were incomprehensible, Helica would never succumb to evil and would never choose to collude with a little villain like herself.

That's the charm of Helica. If Helica were to truly succumb to darkness and herself, Yuuki Enishi would be greatly disappointed in her.

But her trust in Helica did not disappoint her.

"I could never join, not in my entire life."

Herlica pressed her forehead against Yuuki's, responding to Yuuki's question with a forceful tone that seemed out of place with the distance and atmosphere between them, and with a firm gaze that matched her tone.

"However, you still didn't answer me. Answering questions with questions is not a good habit. I know you. Even if you have become like this, I still know you. I believe you know me just as well. You know that I don't have much patience."

"So what? You want to force me to answer you? This isn't Nijisanji, and I'm not one of your members. Your approach won't work."

Despite Helica's verbal threats, Yuuki Yuuki did not back down.

"Helica, I have no obligation to answer any of your questions. Or is it that your feelings for me have crossed the line, knowing full well that we should be enemies, knowing full well what I did to you magical girls, yet you still want to have a forbidden rendezvous with me?"

What followed was just simple banter, not much different from the less-than-clean online arguments that Yuuki En had seen before her transmigration—just a momentary gratification of verbal sparring.

However, since everyone is a beautiful girl, even if they bicker, they won't stoop to the level of online flame wars.

Yuuki En was simply trying to seize the high ground of discourse with these excessive words, but Herika's response left Yuuki En completely unable to retaliate.

"Yes, that's how much I like you, is that wrong?"

Is this a rebuttal to a momentary slip of the tongue, or a serious answer to his own question?

Regardless of which one it is, it left Yuuki Yuki speechless.

"Do you need me to verify this?"

While Yuuki Yoriichi was momentarily stunned, Helica continued her relentless pursuit.

This time, it's not just a verbal response.

Although it is also a verbal response in another sense.

The hand that was holding Yuuki's collar gently released its grip, and instead grabbed Yuuki's chin, pulling Yuuki's face directly in front of Helica.

In the face of a seamless meaning.

First came a slight softness, followed by a mild stinging sensation on the lips.
