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

"Huh? What did you say? During our fight today, you saved that white-haired madman... that, Inuyama Tomoe?"

Herlica's lips twitched, partly because she couldn't believe what Yuuki had just said to her, and partly because she couldn't understand why Inuyama Tomoe had suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

"Tianlei, what did you just say?" Mizuno Yu, whose ears were always the most sensitive, heard Helica's change of words and asked in confusion.

"N-nothing." Helica waved her hand dismissively. "So, why are you telling us this?"

Even after experiencing her previous dreams, Helica now understands even more what is missing in her heart.

But she only changed her mindset; she became even more lawless and unruly in her daily life, and her current behavior is even more rude.

"I predicted before that those two corrupted magical girls would definitely make a move after being silent for so long. Although I guessed right this time and successfully repelled their attack, we still have too little information. Too little."

Sitting upright, Yuuki Yukina took her hands off her legs, which were pressed together, and made a fist, placing it in front of her lips as if she were thinking about something.

“Xiaoyuan is right. We still don’t know what they want to do. I also asked my classmates to inquire about the exchange students who went to Yuehai Middle School. Apart from knowing their true identities, we can’t see anything special about them.”

Nishio Reki continued to analyze what Yuuki Yuki had said very seriously. She couldn't help in the battle, but the only time she could really shine was when she could replenish Yuuki Yuki's magic power.

“That’s right, do you remember what those two corrupted magical girls said, that the student council president ordered them to do something bad to us?” Mizuno Yuya countered.

Yuuki nodded, acknowledging the blind spot that Mizuno Yu had pointed out, a point that everyone easily overlooks.

“Mizuno Yu is absolutely right. That’s exactly what I’m worried about. Once the exchange student mission is over, we’ll be returning to Tsukimi Middle School, and the investigation into Seiyuu Academy will have to come to an end.”

The others nodded in agreement, waiting for Yuuki Yukino to continue.

Seeing that no one responded, Yuuki Yui stopped keeping him in suspense.

"I feel that we haven't found the source of that ominous magic yet, we don't know the identity of that president, and we don't know what they've done. So, if we want to defeat those corrupted magical girls, it's like we're groping around in the dark, and we can't get any useful information at all."

"So, what does Xiaoyuan want?" Nishio Reki suddenly realized that it was easy to guess what her childhood friend was thinking.

“Yes, if we could have an absolutely trustworthy companion at the Holy Age Academy to help us gather information, it would definitely be much more efficient.” Yuuki Yuuki looked around at the people around her with a requesting gaze, as if seeking their opinions.

Helica isn't stupid; the target of what Yuuki Yuki is referring to can't be anyone other than Inuyama Tomoe.

If Inuyama Tomoe were just an ordinary girl, Helica would be quite happy to accept it, since everyone is entering the dream together to find a solution to the nightmare.

But how could they involve Inuyama Tomoe, a corrupted magical girl, in a group of magical girls, and even make Tomoe an inside agent for the magical girls to gather information about the corrupted magical girls?

Putting aside the fact that Baqi will definitely stand on Yuuki Yuuki's side, that's an undeniable fact, Baqi's attitude is completely unimportant.

Regardless of whose dream it is, Yuuki Yuki and Nishio Reki are unconditionally on the side of the magical girl. If Tomoe reveals even the slightest flaw, everything she has done in the past will be questioned.

This will only create more obstacles to breaking through the nightmare, and Baqi may even become the point at which the nightmare erupts.

As for why Helica knows so much, it's because she personally witnessed Yuuki Yuuki, a member of Nijisanji, confessing her identity as a fallen magical girl.

Therefore, she had to stop it.

"Wait a minute, how can that guy be trusted?"

“She was attacked by a corrupted magical girl, and I personally saved her. That alone proves that she is trustworthy,” Yuuki Yui replied.

This kind of thing is completely unreliable.

It was because Mizuno Yu rescued Yuuki Yui from Miyashita Mia's men that no one in Nijisanji ever suspected that Yuuki Yui was a corrupted magical girl.

So history does repeat itself?

"I agree with Yuki. If we had a new companion, we would definitely avoid a lot of detours. The friendliness that Inuyama-san has shown during this time also proves that she is definitely not a bad person."

Mizuno Yuu also expressed her support for Yuuki Yuuki, making it even harder for Helica to refute her.

That's true, but how could Mizuno Yu, who always has a keen intuition and is good at finding clues, be fooled by that guy?

Doesn't Inuyama Tomoe know what kind of awful personality she has? Where was she friendly? Where was she kind?

"Besides...she might not even agree, right? Wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to just reveal our identities to her?" Helica stammered twice, then changed her perspective and began to refute.

Helica knew she was getting a little stuck in her own head, but in order to end this nightmare, she had no choice but to think and act that way.

“What Tenrai Herika said makes sense.” Nishio Reki nodded, speaking up for Tenrai Herika.

“Right, right? And if she finds out who we are, it’s bound to put her in danger. Isn’t it normal to avoid dragging ordinary people into this?” Herika suddenly perked up as well.

“But I’m just an ordinary person.” Nishio Reki pointed to himself.

"Oh my! You're Yuuki Yukino's childhood friend. You two have known each other for much longer than we have. It's different for you." Helica patted the table, feeling a little bittersweet as she said these words herself.

But now is not the time for her to be jealous. If she could persuade the others, it would really save her a lot of trouble.

Moreover, given that Baki always gets caught up in the magical girl incidents in her dreams, Herika also suspects that this nightmare is probably related to Baki, making her wonder if it's another scheme orchestrated by Sumireko Yumehara.

Even if you ask Baqi to do these things, you should first inform and communicate with her beforehand. Acting so rashly is indeed inappropriate.

"So I think it's best to wait and see, since it's hard to say what might happen right now."

“That’s true. We should consider this matter more carefully.” Yuuki Yukari was also persuaded by Helica.

Helica originally thought that the matter should be put to rest for the time being, and that she would no longer be bothered by it for the time being.

Just to be on the safe side, let's exchange information with Baqi first.

……

The next day.

Before or after lunch break, Helica had a chance to approach Baqi, but Yuuki Yuuki brought Inuyama Baqi over.

Under Helica's murderous gaze, Baqi nonchalantly looked away, while Yuuki Yuuki explained to Helica the whole story of how she brought her here.

"She accidentally saw me transform, so she thanked me profusely and offered to help us..."

Before Yuuki could say anything, Herika slammed her hand on the table and loudly refused.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Herica was dissatisfied with both Bachi's identity as a corrupted magical girl and the fact that Bachi was kept by Yuuki Yuuki's side.

It is an undeniable fact that Baqi and Yuuki have been very helpful to her in real life. Although Helica is still somewhat unhappy with Baqi, she can no longer regard Baqi as an enemy.

But isn't this situation a bit too abnormal?!

“Tenrai, I think since Yuki’s identity has already been discovered by the other party, then we should…” Mizuno Yu was trying to mediate, but the only person she needed to mediate with was Helica.

“But, but…” Helica was still somewhat bewildered.

"Tianlei, calm down. I don't know what happened. Could you please explain it to me?" Baqi put on an innocent and harmless expression, while secretly giving Helica a wink.

Even Yuuki Yuki couldn't calm Helica down, but that annoying guy, Baqi, did.

If you make your rejection too obvious, you might end up being the one who ruins the dream.

With Yuuki Yuki still unconscious, and without a leader, he was finding it difficult to move forward.

"Fine, Yuuki Yukino, you explain it to her."

Helica reluctantly let out a long sigh and handed the task back to Yuuki Yuuki's shoulders.

"That's right, Inuyama-san, all of us are actually magical girls..."

……

Nishio Reki felt that the life of an exchange student was nothing special; it was just experiencing various aspects of life at Seiyuu Academy.

But this kind of life still allowed Nishio Reki to rediscover that initial sense of novelty. Whether it was the unique timetable and classroom life, or the unique atmosphere of Seiyuu Academy outside of class, it was something he had never experienced before.

However, because there are corrupted magical girls at St. Yuu Academy, and there is also the potential threat of the student council president mentioned by Koumori, it is definitely impossible to fully experience school life.

Although Yuuki Yukino revealed to Inuyama Tomoe that everyone was a magical girl, and Inuyama Tomoe expressed her willingness to help, there is actually not much help that Inuyama Tomoe can provide so far.

No one has been able to figure out the true identity of that president, but if it is the president in the literal sense, everyone will think of that student council president.

According to Inuyama Tomoe, the student council president's name is Kuroba Laisei, but she is not in the same class as Nishio Reki and the other three.

However, Inuyama Tomoe also mentioned that there was someone in this class who was even more important than the student council president. She was the real chairperson of St. Yuu Academy, a girl named Seishion.

However, Seishion seemed listless all day and didn't interact much with others, so Nishio Reki thought there was nothing to worry about.

Apart from that, Inuyama Tomoe didn't specifically mention anyone else.

Of course, it was easy for them to ascertain the identities of the two corrupted magical girls who went to Moonsea Middle School as exchange students. After all, it wasn't a secret. They could easily get the two names by asking their classmates about the exchange students in the lower grades.

The blonde girl's name is Koumori, and the gray-haired girl who attacks Mizuno Yu is Hyakki Senyu.

The remaining two exchange students didn't seem to have anything to do with magical girls. Nishio Reki heard Yuuki Yuki say this with such certainty, but he didn't know how Yuuki Yuki deduced it.

More than half of the one-month exchange period has passed, and apart from the incident where Inuyama Tomoe was almost injured, Koumori and Hyakki Chiyu, who went to Tsukimi Middle School as exchange students, don't seem to have caused any trouble.

On the contrary, the magical girls, at Yuuki Yuki's suggestion, focused on devising a countermeasure while honing their powers.

While there isn't a strict standard for classifying a magical girl's combat power, it's achievable for anyone to become more proficient in manipulating their magic and improving their reaction time.

As the week drew to a close, an unexpected event occurred.

A magical girl, a magical girl from Tsukimi Middle School, was also attacked. After a fierce battle, Yuuki Yuki and the others finally managed to defeat Koumori and her group once again.

The magical girl who received help also revealed her name: Sakura Hanako.

Although their time as exchange students is not yet completely over, it doesn't stop the four magical girls from working together to defeat the evil, corrupted magical girl.

Sometimes, in less important meetings, Yuuki Yukino would call on Inuyama Tomoe to discuss information about possible magical girls, and Tomoe always managed to complete the task perfectly.

Although most of the time they would ask Baqi to investigate something, and Baqi would bring back the information, most of that information was useless.

When Baqi is not around, the magical girls also discuss more important things related to battle.

Yuuki Yukina once again played her role, extracting most of the information and abilities of the two corrupted magical girls from several battles, leaving Nishio Reki stunned.

Finally, the final battle, within Yuuki Yukino's calculations, broke out.

Chapter 151 Victory

After a month of mutual exchange and learning, the exchange program between Moonsea Middle School and St. Eternal Academy can be considered to have officially come to an end.

To be precise, this month-long event is about to come to an end.

The event is almost over, and all that's left is the closing ceremony and experience exchange meeting to be held at Yuehai Middle School.

The opening ceremony was held at St. Yon-Yon Academy, so it was only natural that the closing ceremony was held at Moonsea Middle School. The presence of several school leaders from both St. Yon-Yon Academy and Moonsea Middle School underscores its importance.

The presence of the teachers and leaders of Yuehai Middle School, some staff members of Seiyuu Academy whom Nishio Reki didn't know very well, and Seiyuu Academy's chairman, Sei Shion, who was in the same class as them... all of this demonstrates the importance both sides place on each other.

At this moment, everyone was either fully focused or listening half-heartedly to the student on the podium giving the concluding speech, reciting lines that inevitably made people drowsy, waiting for the ceremony to end.

However, it seems that this closing ceremony will not end so easily.
