My stomach problems flared up, and I felt really unwell. I was sweating profusely while sitting in front of the computer.
The original plan was to reveal the same information in two separate chapters, but as you readers can see, today's update schedule isn't great.
Many of the interactive and reasoning elements that were originally planned to be included were cut, and the final information was given directly.
Uh… in a sense, it's also a way to avoid padding the word count (probably).
I've taken some medicine and I'm going to sleep now.
Chapter 85 Pre-ordering Gifts
Although Yuuki Yuuki had seen St. Yūkyū Academy more than once in the game and was very familiar with this main stage of the game, she was still deeply shocked when she actually walked into the school.
This shock was exactly the same as the feeling she had when she first saw Hong Moli and Bai Gui Qianyou in the gate of Yuehai Middle School wearing the uniform of St. Yuu-gyu Academy and looking like dolls.
Having some understanding is one thing, being mentally prepared is another, and being actually in the situation is yet another; the differences between these bring Yuuki Eri completely different feelings.
A sense of alienation, Yuuki En felt that this was how she should describe her current feelings.
Back then, with Hyakki Senyou and Koumori, and now with the Holy Yuu Academy, all of these gave Yuuki En a sense of unreality.
This illusion made Yuuki Yuuki find it hard to believe that such a bizarre place could exist in this Moonsea City, and so close to her.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyuan? Why are you spacing out? If you don't know the way, just follow me."
Walking behind Yuuki Yuuki, Inuyama Tomoe nudged her back with her arm, urging her to move forward a little more, while carefully asking her why she had suddenly stopped.
She, who is usually very perceptive and can empathize with Yuuki Yuuki, was somehow unable to notice why Yuuki Yuuki was standing there in a daze.
Perhaps she was excited because she hadn't been back to St. Yuu Academy for so long, or perhaps Baqi was using this excuse to give Yuuki a way out. Whatever the reason, Yuuki didn't have time to think about Baqi's intentions right now.
The sheer number of Gothic buildings that filled Yuuki Yuuki's entire field of vision made her feel somewhat overwhelmed.
For a fleeting moment, she felt as if she had traveled through time again, to a small town in the west, a place completely different from Moonsea City, with a very small territory but a strong religious atmosphere.
But this illusion didn't last long. Yuuki heard Baqi calling her and felt Baqi touching her. She recalled what Baqi had said and understood what Baqi had just said before she finally came to her senses with a very long reaction time.
"Ah, okay."
Hong Moli, who was leading the way for the two, also cast a glance at them, but turned back after a brief look.
She had already seen Yuuki Yuki and Inuyama Hatsuki catching up, so she slowed her pace even further.
Yuuki Yui, who followed, did not walk too fast either. She slowly entered the solemn and majestic academy, which resembled a castle, while looking around with her eyes.
In the distance is the main teaching building with its pointed roof, while closer by are other subordinate low buildings and furnishings including flower beds, sculptures, and a series of other decorations.
Although the game features extensive background images to highlight the special nature of St. Yuu Academy, the details can only be truly appreciated when Yuuki Yuuki is actually there.
When Yuuki Yuuki actually stepped into St. Yuuki Academy, her feelings deepened; it was completely different from what she had imagined.
Rather than being extremely luxurious, it's more accurate to describe it as exquisite.
Everything was just right, neither too ostentatious nor too lacking in profound cultural heritage.
This sense of gravitas is more like a form of confidence. Truly wealthy people rarely act like nouveau riche, flaunting their wealth and power with gold, silver, jewelry, luxury cars, and villas, because they don't need to prove their strength to anyone.
A striking example is right here: Hyakki Senyou's mother, despite being a high-ranking minister of the Hyakki clan, still lived in an ordinary house in the city.
The image of the Hundred Demon Minister to Yuuki Enishi is that of a decisive and extremely strong woman, which is completely different from the slightly naive and gluttonous Hundred Demon Senyu.
Although Hyakki Senyou's assertive side is revealed when it comes to matters involving Koumori, she also exudes an innate pride that she doesn't need to prove to anyone.
That's how Saint Eternal Academy is; it doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, it just needs to do its job well and fulfill the role that the academy should play.
Besides these, what impressed Yuuki Eri even more was the unsettling atmosphere surrounding the academy.
Rather than describing the atmosphere, it's more accurate to say that the overall ambiance of the Sacred Ancient Academy made Yuuki Yuen very uncomfortable.
Perhaps it was the strong religious atmosphere that made Yuuki Yuuki feel extremely uncomfortable, or perhaps it was the unique refinement that made her feel out of place, or perhaps it was knowing that this place was originally the den of corrupted magical girls that made her feel uneasy.
In short, this aversion is physiological in Yuuki Yukino; she has a deep-seated dislike for this place.
However, Yuuki Yuuki would still admit that St. Yuuki Academy was indeed much stronger than Tsukishiro Middle School; it was a complete and utter crushing victory.
"Would you like to rest in the student council room first? I have some nice tea there that you and my sister can try."
After wandering through the St. Yuu Academy for several minutes, passing through a playground that resembled a garden more than a sports field, Koumori stopped her already slow pace and turned to ask Yuuki Yuuki for her opinion.
Today, everyone is gathered at Seiyuu Academy, which was originally Yuuki Yukino's plan; it is also Inuyama Tomoe's first time returning here since transferring schools, and these two are very rare guests in every sense.
Although she was only acting as the student council president, and didn't need to use the same elaborate etiquette as she would with other students, Hong Moli still made sure to provide the best possible hospitality for Yuuki Yuki and her group.
Yuuki Yukino, however, did not politely decline Koumori's suggestion.
"I appreciate your kindness, but we don't know how much work we'll have today or what obstacles we might encounter. It would be better to save some time, so please take us directly to the library."
Yes, the library of the Sacred Long Academy, that is Yuuki Yuuki's ultimate goal.
The clue from Mashiro Gakuen happened to match the loophole she had discovered during her investigation. Yuuki Yukino couldn't tell whether Mashiro Gakuen had completely figured her out, or whether anyone would encounter this problem as long as they were investigating in the right direction.
But since both Genken Mashiro and Yuuki Yuuki had given hints, Yuuki Yuuki absolutely had to come and see for herself.
While it's not impossible to entrust this matter to Koumori, Yuuki Yuuki prefers to confirm it with her own eyes.
It just so happens to be the weekend, so Yuuki Yuuki has every opportunity to quickly find out the information behind the hints given by Urouge Mashiro.
Therefore, Yuuki Yuuki got up early for the first time in a long time, and before the morning sun had warmed up, she and the other three Dark Magical Girls who had made the appointment stepped into the gates of St. Yuuki Academy.
Although it was the weekend and the incident happened quite early, there was still some people at St. Yuu Academy. Yuuki Yuuki had seen a few figures wearing St. Yuu Academy uniforms along the way.
Yuuki En noticed that Koumori and Hyakki Senyou were also wearing Seiyuu Academy uniforms under their winter coats, suggesting that wearing uniforms to enter the school was an unwritten rule.
Yuuki Yui wasn't curious at all why they would appear at school on weekends. For example, the former student council president, Kuroba Laisei, or Seishine, who had been out of contact since returning from Nijiha City, were almost always at the academy.
A few weeks ago, on a weekend, Yuuki Yuuki found Hong Moli engrossed in her work in the student council room when she wanted to talk to her about the Black Magic Mark.
Of course, none of this mattered to Yuuki Yuuki; her destination was ultimately the library of Seiyuu Academy.
Hong Moli was no stranger to the library; when she first entered the school, she spent almost all of her free time in the library.
Although she now has the student council room, which is a more suitable place for her, she is also very familiar with the library. After just a few turns, a magnificent building appeared before Yuuki Yuuki's eyes.
This library is no less large than the Moonsea City Library, and its decor is even slightly better.
Because of the unique atmosphere of the Sacred Long Academy, Yuuki En once felt that the library in front of her had a richer cultural heritage.
Upon entering the library, the group headed straight for the entrance to the reading room, not wanting to waste a single second.
But the final hurdle truly stumped Yuuki Yuuki.
Yuuki Yuuki encountered most of the students from Seiyuu Academy along the way, but she didn't know what they were there for.
But the woman in front of her knew it all too well.
"Excuse me, you do not appear to be a student of St. Eternal Academy. Outsiders are not permitted to enter the library."
The student on duty at the entrance of the reading room pushed up his glasses, stood up from his seat, and blocked Yuuki Yuuki from entering.
Although the librarian's words were very polite, the unquestionable attitude in his tone spoke volumes.
There could be no ordinary person in the Holy Ancient Academy. Even if the other party was just a librarian on duty here, Yuuki Yuen would not look down on him in the slightest.
Even if she wasn't a student at Seiyuu Academy, Yuuki Yuuki wouldn't underestimate anyone.
Therefore, Yuuki Yukino was stopped and was in a real predicament.
The librarian's gaze then shifted to Inuyama Tomoe, who was standing next to Yuuki Yuuki, and his eyes widened in shock.
Immediately, the librarian bowed slightly, just as he had done on the day he met Momoko Konohara, Hyakki Senyu, and Inuyama Tomoe at Tsukimi Middle School, and greeted Tomoe with a salute.
After the librarian stood up straight, he took a half step back and lowered his center of gravity—a more polite gesture when conversing with someone.
Only after she had done all that did she ask her question.
"Big sister, why did you suddenly come back?"
Baqi deliberately stood up.
Even though Baqi knew that the education the students of St. Yuu Academy received would not allow them to look down on anyone, standing behind Yuuki Yuuki at this time, giving her enough support, and also making her give her enough respect was something she had to do.
When the librarian bowed, Baqi returned the bow in a manner that was both familiar and unusual to Yuuki Emi.
"I'd like to look up some information. Could you please allow me to use this space and spend a little time?"
After hearing Baqi's words, the librarian girl became somewhat embarrassed. Although she did not intend to let her emotions show on her face, a small slip-up still betrayed her.
"Sister, I heard that you have transferred to another school, so according to the rules, you are not allowed to enter."
The librarian was absolutely dedicated; the library of St. Eternal College was not a public area and outsiders could not be allowed to enter at will.
Furthermore, the library is an important part of the education at St. Eternal College, so it is perfectly reasonable for it not to be open to the public.
But for Yuuki Yuuki, this was extremely bad news.
Yuuki Yukino had guessed that she might encounter a similar situation, but if it really happened, she could only place her hopes on Koumori.
With that thought in mind, Yuuki Yuki looked at Koumori with hopeful eyes.
Hong Mali was already beside Yuuki Yuuki, so she let Yuuki Yuuki walk ahead of her, which is why the librarian didn't immediately connect the four of them.
But Yuuki Yukino's undisguised gaze really put the librarian in a difficult position.
A complete stranger could easily stop her; but a senior she admired who had already transferred schools would only cause her considerable trouble if he stopped her.
However, there was nothing she could do to stop the acting student council president of St. Yuu Academy, who, despite coming from an ordinary family, far surpassed the other students who received elite education.
It wouldn't matter if Hong Moli went in, but if Hong Moli really said something like asking him to make an exception, then his position would be extremely difficult.
What the librarian didn't know was that others were just as conflicted as she was.
Yuuki Yukino, needless to say, would be very fortunate to obtain information, but she did not want to resolve the issue through the privileges of the student council president, Koumori.
Yuuki Yuuki had no idea whether she could obtain useful information here, or how long it would take to do so.
Privileges can be used once, or twice, but they can't last forever until Yuuki Yuen has read through all the potentially useful books here.
What Yuuki En thought of, Komaru could also think of.
Even if we assume that Mashiro Gorgen wasn't lying to her at all, using the student council president's privileges isn't something to be proud of, and it actually makes Koumori feel a little embarrassed.
Because of her background, Koumori always carried a slight sense of inferiority, which prevented her from leaving a persona as domineering as Kuroba Reisei.
If I ask for help, Yuki Eri will definitely be able to get in today. But if I get nothing today, can I ask for help every time in the future?
Even as the acting student council president, if she sets such a precedent for breaking the rules, even if it's only a possibility, Hong Moli's personal reputation will greatly decline in the future, and her work will only become more and more difficult.
But this was a request from Yuuki Yukino, and he couldn't let Yuuki Yukino return empty-handed.
