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

But the moment she answered the question, a not-so-wonderful possibility began to grow in her heart.

What the girl said next to Yuuki Yuuki further confirmed Yuuki Yuuki's ominous suspicions.

"Tianlei seems to have some issues with the band members. He had a big argument with them in the cafeteria at noon today."

"Similar things have happened before, but this time it's especially serious. I heard that everyone is very dissatisfied with Tianlei's strict demands, so this time it has escalated to the point of disbanding the group."

"Tianlei must have taken that band very seriously, so the argument got even worse. I heard she was able to hold her own against a group of people, and it was only after the student council president, Niijima, dispersed the crowd that the situation was finally stabilized."

"Hey classmate, are you listening to me?"

Herlica's classmates were still talking when they stopped when Yuuki Yuuki didn't react for a long time.

"Yes, I'm listening." Yuuki Yui nodded, but her face was unusually pale. Then, as if she had thought of something, she grabbed the girl's hand.

The girl gasped and instinctively tried to escape, but Yuuki Yuki's grip tightened.

The other person's struggle made Yuuki Yuki realize that what she was doing seemed a bit disrespectful, so she immediately let go of the other person and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I got a little agitated."

Yuuki Yukino's apology was sincere, and she didn't seem to be planning anything against her, so the girl quickly forgave her.

"No, it's okay. There are people who have a stronger reaction than you when it comes to Tianlei."

"Um, sorry." Yuuki Yuuki hid her hands behind her back.

"What are you trying to say?" The classmate noticed that Yuuki Yuuki still seemed a little resentful and pressed for an answer.

“Yes.” Yuuki nodded, bending down very formally so that her body formed a straight 45-degree angle with the ground: “I need to ask you a favor. Don’t say that anyone came to see her. If possible, don’t let anyone in the class talk about it either.”

"No problem, no problem. Even if you don't say anything, we won't bring it up with Tianlei unless it's something important." The girl waved her hands repeatedly.

"Anyway, I'm counting on you." Yuuki Yuen bowed again, then quickly left this place of trouble.

She absolutely cannot attract Helica's attention right now, not even with her own irresponsible speculation.

Based on previous patterns, it is highly likely that Tenrai Herika is the target chosen by Yumehara Sumireko for this attack.

But Yuuki Yukino had some other evidence in her mind.

For Helica, Nijisanji was a place where she could belong, so while she was in Nijisanji, her behavior, though somewhat irritable, was still relatively normal.

Even before Nijisanji, there was her own band. It was because the band disbanded that Helica lost her place in the world, which is why she was in a bad mood, just like that classmate said.

It's perfectly reasonable to consider this day as the beginning of a nightmare.

But for Yuuki Eri, there is a more serious problem.

She went to help Helica out of a predicament in order to follow Nishio Reki's script.

But in her dream, when Helica argued with someone, no one came to her rescue.

That's Helica, no matter how fierce she looks, she has an incredibly soft heart. Such a soft heart is indeed easily broken by the condemnation of those around her.

Perhaps things aren't so bad. If Helica really broke down, the dream would probably collapse in an instant.

Therefore, logically speaking, it would be best for him to find Helica and comfort her first.

But Yuuki Yuuki can't do that.

Just as she had just realized, she did not help Helica out of the predicament.

This is what troubles Yuuki Yuuki the most, and it's something that might be impossible to make up for.

Today is not only the day the band broke up, but also the day I officially met Helica.

Chapter 124 Her Important People

Things have become very complicated.

Yuuki Yukina guesses that she is currently in Tenrai Herika's dream.

This conjecture was based on a discussion of dreams with Baqi during their lunch break.

However, while discussing dreams with Baki, she missed the opportunity to help Helica out of a difficult situation and increase her favorability.

If he were to deliberately go to the storeroom and eat bread with Helica now, it would seem very contrived.

Without the condition that he helped Helica out of the predicament, even if Yuuki Yuki really went to the storage room, she would probably be kicked out by Helica, who was in a bad mood because of the band's disbandment.

In addition to that, there is something even more troublesome.

If Helica's dream is almost identical to reality, then she must also be a magical girl, just like in reality.

Moreover, unlike Mizuno Yuuka's strange character setting of dreaming that she is the successor to a general, Helica should also know that she is a magical girl.

Therefore, it seems unwise for Yuuki Yuuki, who is a corrupted magical girl, to actively seek contact with Helica without going through any affinity development storyline.

The consequences of doing this can be roughly conceived in two directions.

Either Helica remembered things from reality, causing the dream to collapse, or Helica discovered that he was a corrupted magical girl and fought with him.

Neither of these scenarios is what Yuuki Yukino wants to see.

Given the precedent of Mizuno Yuuki using even the God Release technique in her dream, Yuuki Yuuki had no doubt that Helica's strength in the dream world might be lacking.

Although Helica cannot yet unleash her divine power, she was able to withstand the divine power of Koumori even in her True Name Release state. Subduing Helica without harming her is indeed a difficult task.

Even if you manage to make Helica cry or even break her defenses, the dream will still collapse.

As for the possibility that Helica neither woke up nor became her enemy, although it wasn't impossible, Yuuki Yukino never expected things to go so smoothly, and she certainly wouldn't pin her hopes on such a low-probability event.

In short, Yuuki Yuuki has never encountered such a hellish start.

"So what does Xiaoyuan plan to do?"

After Yuuki told Baqi about her speculations and the current dire situation, Baqi couldn't come up with any ideas and could only throw the problem back at Yuuki.

"Our goal is to ensure that Helica doesn't despair in this dream, nor does she wake up from it; this will not change regardless of the type of dream."

As Yuuki Yukino spoke, she continued to scribble and draw on the already messy paper, where nothing was left to be seen.

“Herika is afraid of losing her bandmates, and I don’t think she means the bandmates in the band.” The black pen erased the word “band” from the paper.

Yuuki Yukino drew a circle over the erased word and pointed an arrow at Herika's name.

"It should be said that this incident must have put a lot of pressure on her mental health."

The few entries that had already been written on the paper were circled one by one by Yuuki Yuki. As her pen scratched across the paper, several more arrows pointed to the name Herika.

“Mizuno Yu doesn’t know Tenrai Helica yet. She sensed Miyashita Mia’s presence when Miyashita Mia attacked her, which is why she appeared with Mizuno Yu, who came to help her. That’s how the two of them got to know each other.”

"Lin Jiezi was often seen lurking at the entrance of Nijisanji, so Helica forcibly dragged her in. Although it wasn't called Nijisanji back then, sorry, I digress."

"Sakura Hanako, a junior member of Nijisanji brought into the Nijisanji by Mizuno Yu, went through the battle against Kuroba Rei with Tenrai Helica. She is not a magical girl at the moment, so there is no need to consider her for now."

Yuuki Yukino paused for a moment, pursed her lips and hesitated for a second, then drew her name on the paper.

"Yuki Yuuki, a corrupted magical girl who wanted to get close to her. She became acquainted with Tenrai Herika after helping her out of a predicament. She is an important member of Nijisanji and is someone Tenrai Herika likes. However, she lost the opportunity to contact Tenrai Herika because of the dream, so she is not being considered for the time being."

Baqi's eyes merely flickered; she knew everything Yuki Yuki had said.

Firstly, Yuuki Yukino was discussing serious matters, and she could distinguish which was more important.

Secondly, it's no secret what happened between Herika and Yuuki Yuuki, so she has nothing to be jealous of.

“Besides these, there’s another troublesome character.” Yuuki Yuen frowned, as if recalling some unpleasant past events.

"The last person who is very important to Helica is also the one most likely to hurt her right now, especially when Helica is all alone and has no way to relieve her depression. He is the most dangerous person right now."

Of course it was dangerous. Just seeing that guy made Herika so mentally unstable that she ran home and used replenishing her mana as an excuse to forget everything. After discovering the truth, she went crazy for a while.

Baqi didn't need to guess to know who the last person Yuuki was talking about was, but Yuuki still wrote down that name and pointed it in Helica's direction.

"Tsukimi Rie, a senior of Tenrai Helika when she became a magical girl, has now fallen into darkness under the manipulation of Nishio Reki. She is an obsessive and corrupted magical girl who is even more troublesome than Miyashita Mia."

As Yuuki Yukina spoke, she couldn't help but frown; the pressure that Tsukimi Rie had put on her was considerable.

All that happened to her in the past is now history, and Yuuki Yukino wants to talk about the present.

"And Tsukimi Rie is our next target to prevent the collapse of Tenrai Herica."

"Wait, Yuuki, please wait a moment." Baqi called out to Yuuki Yuuki.

"What's wrong?" Yuuki Yukino tilted her head and looked at Baqi.

On the Moon Sea Tower, Tsukimi Rie had mastered both True Name Liberation and Divine Liberation. If she hadn't pushed her opponent to that point, she might not have lost.

No, it's that I absolutely cannot lose.

"Think about it, think about when it happened. Yuuki had a private meeting with Miyashita Mia on a certain day, right?" Baqi coaxed Yuuki to recall that past experience.

"Yes, that's right."

Yuuki Yukino will definitely never forget that day when she told Helica that she wanted to know how to become a magical girl, and then wanted to meet with Tsukimi Rie alone, but the person who came was Miyashita Mia.

“You remember that Miyashita Mia told us the whole story that day, right?”

"Yes, I remember."

Miyashita Mia was planning to self-destruct and was on the verge of death by Helica and Mizuno Yu when he and Baqi stepped in to help her, only to be betrayed by Miyashita Mia.

Before being betrayed, this ungrateful woman recounted how she herself had fallen into darkness, and how Tsukimi Rie had fallen into darkness because of her.

"Think carefully, before that day, did Nishio Reki have any contact with Tsukimi Rie?" Tomoe cut to the chase:

"At this point in time, are Rie Tsukimi, and even Miya Miyashita, really corrupted magical girls?!"

Is there anything special about Chapter 125?

Baki did indeed raise a very important question.

So far, Yuuki Yukino can only think of three directions regarding her relatively close relationship with Herika.

One of them is the band that just disbanded; it was Helica's hobby and a part of her life.

The second is her family.

Since the dream began at this point in time, Helica's childhood traumas should not reappear.

The third is her relationship with other magical girls.

To be precise, it refers to Helica Tenrai's relationship with the magical girl faction before the official establishment of Nijisanji.

She was an enemy who fought against Yuuki Yuuki, but she was also Helica's senior.

Because the incident occurred six months ago, Yuuki Yukino's memory is not very clear, so it is easy to overlook some important issues.

This is the blind spot that Baqi keenly noticed, but Yuuki Yuuki hadn't.
