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

……

Kuroba Laishi straightened his collar and walked nonchalantly away from the shrine.

"Chairman Kuroba, Chairman Kuroba?"

Someone is calling my name.

Kuroba Laishi frowned and looked around, but didn't see a familiar figure.

Kuroba Laisei's brows furrowed even deeper, his facial muscles seemed nailed shut, and he took another step down with a composed expression.

"Chairman Kuroba!"

The voice was closer, and Kuroba Laisei could hear it more clearly.

Kuroba Laisei turned his head back with a hint of impatience, his gloomy expression temporarily easing.

Such an expression is not suitable for others to see.

This time, when he turned around, Kuroba Laisei did indeed see the person calling his name.

She had long golden hair, wasn't very tall, and was wearing a kimono that I wasn't very familiar with.

Unfamiliarity does not mean unfamiliarity; it simply means that Kuroba Rebirth did not take her seriously.

Kuroba Laisei remembered the other person's name.

What Kuroba Kiyoshi remembers even more clearly is that the two of them had fought less than half an hour earlier.

The first magical girl to reach him was this person.

However, it's better to pretend we don't know each other for now.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Kuroba asked in a calm tone, openly and fearlessly scrutinizing the other person's expression.

The guy was smiling when he looked at me, so why did he seem so disgusted?

Although he seemed disgusted, the words he spoke also seemed to show him immense...respect?

"As expected, it's President Kuroba. Oh, right, don't you remember me? I was an exchange student when I went to St. Yuu Academy. Just call me Tenrai. I received a lot of help from President Kuroba before, so I felt it was necessary to greet you."

Herlica clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with impatience, and solemnly waved her fists, feigning excitement, as she read aloud to Kuroba Rise.

This sight left Kuroba Laisei somewhat bewildered for a moment.

Does she already know that she is a corrupted magical girl?

No, that's impossible. Helica herself knows that she's not the type to test others.

That means the other person doesn't know who they are and is genuinely naive to come and ask for your help.

As the student council president of St. Yuu Academy, Kuroba Laisei's basic social skills and reaction speed allowed him to finish thinking without showing any hesitation. Instead, he gave a slight nod, which was both natural and dignified.

“Tianlei, I do have some impression of you, but we are not in the same class and I have not had much opportunity to help you. It may just be a small favor, so there is no need to be so polite. It is what I should do as the student council president.”

Herika, however, squinted her eyes cheerfully, her tone becoming increasingly natural: "Not at all, not at all. What President Kuroba did for us was far from a trivial matter. I'm afraid I'll never forget President Kuroba for the rest of my life."

"I don't think I did anything unforgettable."

"No, no, no, President Kuroba, you did it, and it was impressive."

"Then may I ask, what did I do that Tianlei finds so unforgettable?"

"Ah, well." Helica raised her hand, scratched her long golden hair, and her eyes suddenly sharpened, like a hunter who had already seen his prey fall into a trap, no longer hiding her most direct malice.

"Of course it's because of what you just did, you bastard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bone-chilling cold swept over Hei Yu Lai Shi.

That wasn't the blonde girl in front of me, but rather the figure behind Kuroba Reisei.

The snow-white wolf, with a fanatical expression, swung its sharp claws at Black Feather Rebirth.

Chapter 166 Decision

The black figure, like a swooping falcon, skimmed the ground and the forbidden zone formed by interwoven chains in mid-air at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive, bursting out rapidly from the gaps in the layers of obstruction laid out by the girl.

A falcon that is hunting its prey and killing it with a single blow would not end up in such a sorry state. The girl, struggling to flap her wings and shake off her black feathers, now looks more like a crow spreading ominous rumors.

But crows don't grow six pairs of wings, nor do they have the same resentful look in the girl's eyes.

No, it looks like it's not six pairs anymore, but four and a half pairs.

Two wings on one side were missing, with charred marks remaining at their base, as if struck by lightning.

On the other side, the largest piece looked as if a ring had been dug out, connected to the precarious front half of the bridge by an incredibly thin section.

Compared to the magical armor on the girl, which was almost no longer able to protect her from enemy attacks, the damage to her wings was negligible.

However, my nightmare should end here!

Kuroba's speed was extremely fast. Seizing a fleeting opportunity, he swiftly and awkwardly slipped under the chains.

The shockwave from the back almost blew Hei Yu Lai Shi straight up and slammed her to the ground. If Hei Yu Lai Shi hadn't wrapped her wings around her body in time to minimize the contact area with the shockwave, she would probably have rolled several times on the ground by now.

Even though Black Feather Reincarnated reacted in time, it was still hit by the attack. The tattered wing was completely blown off and turned into magical light spots. The feathers at the ends of the wings were burned and emitted a burnt smell.

It was those explosive chains. As he passed through them, the guy immediately and without hesitation detonated the encirclement used to restrain him.

It was a decisive and correct judgment, but it was not a good one for Kuroba Reisei.

Apart from that corrupted magical girl with red highlights, Kuroba Rebirth had never encountered such a formidable opponent.

However, it was still within an acceptable range. Although he was slightly injured, he had already torn a hole in the encirclement, and the entire encirclement had even been detonated.

If I accelerate again, I can avoid those two guys and quickly leave the battlefield.

As Kuroba Laisei spread her wings to protect him again, Inuyama Tomoe's shout rang out.

"Hey! You short, blond girl! Don't let her get away!"

"No need for your nonsense! I know what to do!"

Kuroba Laisei accelerated his full-speed sprint again, his forward momentum abruptly halted, like a small insect that had accidentally flown into a house on a summer day and then hit an electric mosquito swatter.

Although Kuroba Reincarnation wasn't a small insect, what she encountered was a genuine electric mosquito swatter.

An electric grid that blocked Kuroba Laisei's path halted his movements. Crackling currents swirled around Kuroba Laisei's body, like tiny earthworms trying to burrow into his flesh, wreaking havoc on his surface and inside.

Such an attack method cannot completely disable Kuroba Laisei's combat ability; it can only temporarily interrupt Kuroba Laisei's actions.

But then, the two girls launched their attacks one after the other.

On the ever-changing battlefield, a moment's pause can determine the outcome of a battle.

A series of explosions and thunderclaps no less devastating than explosions bloomed all over Kuroba Laisei's body.

The deafening roar that shook the forest startled the crows perched on the surrounding branches, which dispersed like a dark cloud above the girls' heads.

At this moment, Kuroba Laisei, who was lying on the ground at the feet of the two, was on the verge of death.

"Hmm, not bad, this guy is really skilled. Even the two of us together took a lot of effort. It's not easy, not easy at all."

As one of the victors, Helica, with her arms crossed, bent down to look at the weak Kuroba Ryougi. Even without the judgment of the magical girls, Kuroba Ryougi probably wouldn't be able to get up easily now.

The battle lasted only a few minutes from start to finish. Before other magical girls could get in the way, Kuroba Ryougi had already been defeated by the two of them.

Inuyama Tomoe shook the long robe of her military uniform, placed the gun blade on the ground, put her hands in the pockets of her coat, looked down at Kuroba Laisei lying on the ground, and then turned to Tenrai Herika: "I have to say, we really owe you a lot this time."

"Oh? Why are you praising me now?" Helica raised her eyebrows. Baqi's words really surprised her. She didn't expect that Baqi, who had always been at odds with her, would be so easy to talk to today.

But Helica wasn't the type to be smug after getting a good deal. Everyone had finally managed to resolve a problem smoothly, and Helica didn't want to go against Baki.

"Fine, fine, you're smart to be careful. Just be more careful in the future and don't always ask me for help with things you can't do yourself. It's such a hassle."

"Yeah, that's right. If your acting hadn't been so disgusting, not only disgusting me but also Kuroba Reisei, how could I have so easily succeeded in my sneak attack and gained the upper hand? What did you say back then? 'Ribbit, President Kuroba, I want to thank you for your help!'"

Baki nodded in complete agreement, speaking with great emotion and expressing his gratitude to Herika without reservation.

"Are you crazy?!" Helica raised her leg and kicked Baki in the stomach without any hesitation.

Helica's divine release was quite special; each seemingly ordinary attack was like a thunderbolt. Baqi's instinctive dodge left a groove the thickness of a wrist in the ground, the stone bricks at the cross-section glowing a dark red like lava.

"Are you crazy? Are you going to kill me, friend?" Inuyama Baqi felt a wave of fear wash over her. She pulled out the blade of her gun that she had stuck in the ground and was about to smash it down on Tenrai Herika's head.

Unexpectedly, Helica, having escaped the attack, immediately raised her hand towards Baki and said in a serious tone, "Now is not the time for the two of us to fight to the death. Let's think about how to deal with her first."

"Huh?" Baqi's jaw almost dropped. She originally thought that Tianlei Helika was the honest and simple type, but she never expected that the other party would have such a shameless side.

"No, you shorty with blond hair, you're saying that you can't fight this bastard with Xiaoyuan and the others, but you can kick me with force, right?"

Bachi was not exaggerating at all. Although Herica's kick was not impossible to dodge, it would definitely cause serious injury if it hit. This level of damage is not something that a magical girl in a dream can easily achieve.

“Oh right? That seems to be the case.” Helica slapped her palm.

"You're still pretending to be stupid!" Baki was even angrier; Helica's action was undoubtedly a further provocation to her.

Helica ignored Baki and instead clenched her fist.

An electric current coursed through Helica's fist, almost turning her small fist silvery-white.

Without warning, Helica threw a punch into the air, and a sonic boom and a thunderclap exploded together, just like a thunderclap.

After doing all this, Helica finally answered Baki's question.

"I'm not pretending to be stupid. Just now, when we were in the air above the shrine, I really couldn't unleash my full strength. I felt awkward no matter what I wanted to do. It was like I had the power but couldn't use it."

Baqi's eyes flickered, but she remained silent as she listened to Helica, the Thunder God, speak.

"But it's different now. Now my power can be fully unleashed, and I don't know how it happened."

"That's it?" Baqi raised her eyebrows and gestured towards the direction of Kuroba Reisei, signaling Helica to notice that there was still a corrupted magical girl lying on the ground.

"That's it." Helica clapped her hands, then looked down again at the motionless, charred body of Kuroba Rise lying on the ground. "Anyway, she's definitely done for us this time. The crisis should be over, right?"

"I suppose so." Baqi squatted down in front of Hei Yu Laisheng, then rolled up her sleeves: "However, there's still one last step."

……

Yuuki Yukino turned her head back and looked at the woods where crows were taking flight behind her, her brows furrowing slightly.

What is noteworthy is not the flock of crows with outstretched wings, but the loud noise that startled them.

"Xiao Li, did you hear anything just now?"

Yuuki Yukina turned to Nishio Reki, who was going the same way as her, and asked.

"It seems so, but it also seems so," Nishio Reki answered vaguely. She had been absent-minded all along, and only after she had spoken did she realize what Yuuki Yuki was talking about, and only then did she realize what incomprehensible things she had said.
