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

Everyone paused for a minute, then realized that the crisis had been averted.

As for Yuuki Yuki, she and Urouge Mashiro found a secluded spot, then immediately deactivated their transformations. Yuuki Yuki then said to Urouge Mashiro, "I need to talk to you."

Genken Mashiro seemed to know that Yuuki Yuuki wasn't there to cause trouble, so he said, "Let's talk in my office." Then he led Yuuki Yuuki back to Seiyuu Academy.

Yuuki Yui noticed the thoughtful look in the doorman's eyes when she entered, but since the headmaster had personally brought her there, he let her through without saying a word.

“If you had given your name at the gate, they would have taken you directly to my office. You are my accomplice, and I have plenty of back doors prepared for you.” Genki Mashiro leaned back in her chair.

She would tell the librarian her name in advance and leave herself that strange book. Now she says she only needs to give her name to get in, which doesn't surprise Yuuki Yuki.

After all, Mashiro Gorgen is the kind of guy who prepares many contingency plans in advance.

Yuuki Yui had no intention of engaging in this pointless small talk: "Now I'm in too."

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Genken Mashiro asked.

Seeing that she was getting a little impatient, and that the other party wasn't dragging their feet, this was perfect for Yuuki Yuuki.

However, Yuuki Enishi still felt a little uncomfortable with the feeling of being completely under someone's control, even though they could tell at a glance that she had something to ask and not that she was there to cause trouble or confront her.

Just like when Mizuno Yu came to find her, Yuuki Yuen asked the same question: "Does Koumari's matter have anything to do with you?"

"What happened to the child?" Genken Mashiro's reaction was similar to Yuuki Yuuki's at the time, but much calmer.

Yuuki Yukari wasn't sure if Genki Mashiro was pretending to be ignorant or genuinely unaware, but regardless, what she said made no difference.

"She took the day off today, didn't you know?"

"I don't know. I just arrived at the school and haven't heard anything about it." Genken Mashiro raised her chin slightly. "I'm the dean, but I don't need to approve leave."

“She fell asleep yesterday and hasn’t woken up yet…” Yuuki Yui never intended to hide it from Genki Mashiro from the beginning. Even if she tried to conceal it, she might not have escaped Genki Mashiro’s eyes.

While you are telling the truth, you can also observe Genki Mashiro's reaction to determine whether the other party is aware of the situation.

However, Genki Mashiro didn't react much, only nodding occasionally in response to Yuuki Yuki's explanation of Koumori's situation. Genki Mashiro remained like this until Yuuki Yuki finished explaining Koumori's condition.

“I was unaware of this, it has nothing to do with me, and nothing like this has ever happened before.”

After hearing Yuuki Yuki's explanation, Gorgen Mashiro used three consecutive denials to clarify his own position.

Although Yuuki felt that firstly, the other party had no need to prove anything to her, and secondly, even if the other party was lying, Yuuki might not be able to detect it.

This guy forged the wand's real name to Loki, the god of lies, and the fact that he was lying was itself a lie. Yuuki Yuuki really didn't want to dwell on this paradox and get herself into an endless cycle of overthinking.

If we take what Genken Mashiro said as fact, then Yuuki Yukino's most important goal has been achieved.

Mashiro Gorgen said: Nothing like this has ever happened before.

Yuuki Yui always felt that the attacks on herself and those around her were because she was investigating the original magical girl, and that her self-protection mechanism was warning her in this way.

Once the information or even the direction they find is correct, the slumber will occur. Although this possibility was repeatedly denied by Mizuno Yu and Tomoe, Yuuki Yuuki still held onto a sliver of hope.

When Baqi was denying herself, Yuuki En thought that besides Koumori might be dreaming, she also thought of some other things that were not so important and could not be verified immediately.

If my investigation triggered a period of slumber, then similar things should happen to other people's investigations into the original magical girl.

The "others" refers to Nishio Reki and Urobuchi Mashiro.

It's easy to confirm with Nishio Reki; she had previously stated at school that nothing like this had ever happened before.

To ensure accuracy, Yuuki Yuki called Nishio Reki again, and Nishio Reki's answer remained the same: neither slumber nor any similar obstacles had occurred.

While Nishio Reki didn't encounter any accidents, and Yuuki Yuuki could be understood as having a method to circumvent the original magical girls, Urobuchi Mashiro is different.

Mashiro Gyoken must know more about the original magical girls than she does. Before she met Reki Nishio, she didn't know that she could evade the pursuit of the original magical girls by binding her own hands and feet.

Theoretically, Mashiro Urouge should have fallen into a deep sleep while investigating the original magical girl.

But Mashiro Konno did say that nothing like this had ever happened before.

Yuuki Yukino's past ideas have been thoroughly proven wrong, but that's a good thing.

If the slumber is unrelated to the original magical girl, then solving it on one's own would avoid facing a predicament set up by a monster on a completely different level.

"Finished asking?" Genki Mashiro poured herself another half glass of lychee juice. Seeing that Yuuki Yuuki's thoughtful expression was gradually clearing up, but she didn't continue asking questions, she took the initiative to speak.

“Hmm…” Yuuki Yuen drawled out the sound, then shook her head after a long while.

Mashiro Urouge calls herself an accomplice because she hopes that she can work with her to eliminate the original magical girl and destroy the magical girl system that exists in Moonsea City and is very likely the origin of Moonsea City.

Although he didn't know why Mashiro Urokin trusted him so much, nor did he know what kind of power Mashiro Urokin had mentioned he possessed, as a temporary accomplice, Mashiro Urokin really didn't cause him any trouble.

That's not entirely true. The Halloween incident was a huge problem, but in terms of the outcome, even with her power restricted, Mashiro Urouge could definitely do something many times more outrageous than that.

In this situation, Yuuki Yuki might be able to ask a few more questions.

"Among the magical girls you've fought, are there any with abilities related to dreams?"

"Do you remember exactly what flavors were in the handful of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans you ate?" Mashiro Gorogen asked rhetorically.

This answer infuriated Yuuki Yukino. There was clearly a better way to answer, but she had to give an example that made people angry.

But Yuuki Yui didn't know how to refute it, and the other party had clearly told her that she couldn't remember.

"However, as expected of my accomplice, the idea of ​​dreams is good, just like what I was thinking." After his irritating statement, Genki Mashiro added a word of praise.

This compliment only fueled Yuuki Yukino's anger.

She didn't tell Gen Ken Mashiro any of her guesses; she just said that Koumori suddenly fell asleep and couldn't wake up, and that a junior from her school had a similar experience before.

She didn't mention anything else about sleep or nightmares, but based on that alone, it's possible the attack was related to dreams. If it wasn't just Mashiro Gorgen being stubborn and showing off, then it was quite frightening.

Despite her inner thoughts, Yuuki Yui didn't show any sign of wavering. She simply drank the lychee beverage in her cup in one gulp, then got up and casually tossed the crumpled paper cup into the trash can on Genji Mashiro's desk.

All the questions that needed to be asked have been asked. Let's use the simplest and quickest method. The whole process will only take a few minutes.

She had to go back to class, and unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want to be alone with Genki Mashiro.

"Are we leaving?" Genken Mashiro said, getting up along with Yuuki Yuuki.

If Yuuki Yuuki didn't know Mashiro's identity, she might have been happy that such a young and promising academy headmaster personally got up to see her off.

However, since the other party was Genken Mashiro, Yuuki Yuuki simply nodded politely, without leaving any further words of farewell or a bow.

Mashiro Gorgen didn't seem to care at all. The fact that a chairperson was drinking from an expensive teapot was enough to show that she didn't care much about formalities.

Moreover, Mashiro Urouge is a thoroughly corrupted magical girl, and rules are a kind of constraint for her.

"Here's a little hint for you, accomplice."

Facing Yuuki Yukino's retreating figure, Genken Mashiro suddenly spoke.

Yuuki Yukina stopped in her tracks and turned back with a look of suspicion on her face.

"The magical girl power you possess is not tied to your body."

Chapter 98 How come six people went to a love hotel together?

At night, in a double room of a love hotel in Yuehai City, the girls sat cross-legged in a circle.

The dim light shone on the odd little things neatly arranged on the table in the room, and also on the girls' faces with their various expressions, making their fair cheeks flush.

An incredibly subtle atmosphere flowed silently through the room, subtly raising the temperature to a somewhat oppressive level, completely out of place with the chill of mid-November outside.

The room, though packed with people, remained silent. Everyone either lowered their heads, bit their lips, or looked around, but all of them kept quiet.

The old-fashioned wall clock, seemingly there to enhance the atmosphere, ticked away, becoming the only sound in the silence.

As the clock struck midnight and the doctor urged them on, finally some people couldn't hold back any longer.

The blonde girl suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her soft voice suddenly punctuated by a fierce tone that seemed completely out of place, filling the ears of everyone present.

"Are you guys out of your minds? Where are we meeting? A love hotel? Are you sick in the head?! Have you lost your minds?! And you said we'd all sleep here together? Are we sleeping or having a sex party?!"

The awkward atmosphere in the room gradually eased after the blonde girl's outburst, which, though seemingly harmless, prompted everyone to speak up as if they had been holding their breath for a long time and needed to vent.

"Just do whatever Xiaoyuan says. Isn't this helping you guys? What's the rush? You idiot, shorty!"

“Yuki must have her reasons for doing this, and I’m also very curious as to why she chose this place.”

"I also trust Xiaoyuan's judgment, but let's hear what she has to say."

"Chew, chew, chew."

"This is all part of the plan."

The room was filled with a cacophony of voices, which only made Herika more agitated.

The frustrated girl waved her little fists and pounded them hard on the soft carpet a few times, but no sound came out.

But when she raised her voice, it was a different story. Several people sitting very close to her were so shocked by Helica's voice that their eardrums ached.

"Don't all talk at once! I don't know who to listen to anymore! And! And! You white-haired stupid dog! Didn't you just curse at me?!"

As Helica spoke, she pointed at Inuyama Baki. Even though the two were at their furthest distance apart, Helica leaned forward, her finger almost touching the tip of Baki's nose.

"No, if you don't believe me, ask other people. You short, blond guy, why are you always so jumpy and noisy!" Baqi didn't dodge or flinch, calmly spreading out her palms, ignoring Helica's provocation as she looked around.

"You still dare to talk! I... I... Believe me or not, I'll kill you first!" Her provocation had no effect, and Helica became even more anxious.

"Oh? Sure, come on? Give it a try!" Baqi raised her eyebrows, her face full of disdain.

Before the two could actually start fighting, Yuuki Yu and Mizuno Yu grabbed their arms as they were about to come together and pulled them apart.

Originally, Baqi didn't have as much of a problem with Helica anymore, but Helica had foolishly attacked Yuuki Yukina on Halloween night and caused trouble at the café where Yuuki Yukina worked.

Baqi, who had initially begun to have a better impression of Helica, now had an even worse one. If Yuuki hadn't told her to try to avoid conflict with Helica, she would definitely have been much more direct.

But what Baki didn't know was that her current restraint only fueled Helica's anger.

Helica was also seething with anger and desperately needed to vent it.

When school was over, Helica received a message from Yuuki Yuki on her phone. You see, Yuuki Yuki hadn't sent her a message in a long time.

Although the message was quite strange, it told her to meet at the love hotel where she was from tonight onwards, because she had something to say there about the magical girl and the sleeping Sakura Hanako.

Helica had absolutely no idea that they would talk about magical girls at a love hotel.

She also thought that Yuuki Yuki was just making up an excuse because she was shy, and wanted to have a date with her at an inconvenient time.

After mentally preparing herself, taking a good shower at home, putting on light makeup, and choosing a suitable set of underwear, Helica calmly replied "okay" on her phone before rushing off.

Herlica didn't intend to have anything happen between her and Yuuki Yuuki; she just wanted to take this opportunity to apologize to Yuuki Yuuki and get back on her feet.

Of course, it would be best if you could spend some wonderful time together as a couple.

But as soon as she entered, she saw Nishio Reki waiting there.
