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

So she burrowed her head back under the covers.

In the stuffy blankets, the skin that the gymnastics uniform couldn't cover clung together, and the sweat that couldn't evaporate quietly accumulated, creating tiny friction with each breath.

Amidst the rustling sounds, the embrace grew even tighter.

Yuki Yui turned over, and through the light seeping through the thin blanket, she could vaguely see Baqi's short, silvery hair, sticky with sweat, covering half of her eyes in a messy state.

Those dark red eyes flickered with emotions that Yuuki Yukino had never seen before.

Yuuki Yukino leaned in and gently pecked it.

Baqi's eyes showed a mixture of surprise and joy as she leaned in and gently pecked back at him on the cheek.

Just as Yuuki Yuuki peeked out again, ready to ask for more, the door to the infirmary creaked open.

"Strange? Was the infirmary door unlocked?"

It was a woman's voice, probably from one of the teachers at the school, but neither of them could tell who it was.

A flicker of panic crossed Baqi's eyes.

Before Baqi could make any more noise, Yuuki Yuuki completed the action she had not yet finished.

But this time, the two did not separate.

The footsteps of the teachers echoed repeatedly in the infirmary, but they couldn't match the intense heartbeats of the two people beneath their thin gymnastics uniforms.

The girls grew closer and more intimate, and the small bed behind the pure white curtains felt like a whole new world.

The room only returned to silence after the sound of the door closing was heard again.

The two girls exchanged a brief glance, touched again, and then separated, each time more passionate and more impatient than the last.

When the two came to their senses, their crumpled gymnastics uniforms and blankets were carelessly tossed under the bed. The two, still tightly embracing each other, had lingering flush on their faces as they reluctantly separated their intertwined legs.

Let's go back together.

"Ah."

In the many days and nights to come, Yuuki Yuuki would think about her sudden breakdown and the unexpected gentleness that Tomoe had shown that day.

Chapter Ninety-One: The Caring Older Sister Makes a Grand Appearance

Help! What have I done?!

After returning home, Yuuki Yukino began frantically banging her head against the ground.

Less than a month ago, he was still confidently thinking that a true man should not be subservient to others, but in less than a month, he was about to be slapped in the face like a three-surname servant... no, a three-surname slave.

And today she was crying and making a scene in the infirmary. Does she think she's a child?

And you even transformed yourself, didn't you? You transformed without hesitation when you were angry, didn't you? That's so thoughtless.

Help! What have I done?!

However, after crying, Yuuki Yuki's mood did feel much lighter, partly because the indescribable moment with Baqi in the infirmary relieved her stress.

After calming down and reflecting on today's events, I do feel more relaxed. However, instead of resolving the immediate problems, a whole host of new ones have emerged.

When she transformed? Judging from Miyashita Mia's expression, she wasn't surprised. How did she guess or find out about her magical girl identity?

Helica Tenrai and Yu Mizuno should also be able to sense that the corrupted magical girl has appeared at school, but she still hasn't shown herself. Even at this time, she is hiding from him. Or do they already know something?

Is it possible that Baqi's previous plan caused him to give himself away in some way?

A jumble of problems piled up, making Yuuki Yukino's mood heavy again.

Cry it out, regain your confidence, and solve all your problems in one go? Is this some kind of inspirational movie? Reality isn't that simple. If crying could solve all problems, then everyone might as well cry together.

Well, it's better to feel better than to continue feeling negative. I'll clear my mind today and leave tomorrow's tasks to my own efforts tomorrow.

Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood; let's drink and be merry tonight, for cola makes my heart ache.

What kind of nonsense am I thinking?

Being able to think about random things is already great; at least it proves that you've relaxed, right?

Yuuki sighed, leaned back on the sofa, picked up the huge bottle of iced cola she had just taken from the refrigerator, and gulped down a large mouthful directly from the bottle. She then closed her eyes and began to let her mind wander freely, letting her imagination run wild.

There are two ways to stop yourself from caring about things that make you sad. One is to completely empty your mind and stop thinking about anything. The other is to fill your mind with junk information to force yourself to have no energy to think.

It doesn't matter which one it is; Yuuki Yukino just wants to temporarily escape from those annoying things.

The living room lights remained off, and the dark environment, bathed only in moonlight, was all the more reassuring.

The sounds of metal clashing and something sliding into the keyhole rang out from the entryway, while the mechanical noise of the lock turning was exceptionally clear in the silence.

What happened?

Yuuki Yuen, who had been drowsy, suddenly became alert and put down the Coke bottle on the sofa. She then slowly and silently got up and focused her attention on the entrance hallway.

The thought of someone sneaking into the door of a woman living alone late at night is terrifying.

But it doesn't matter, I am a magical girl, and a corrupted magical girl at that. Even if I go a little too far when dealing with ordinary criminals, no one will say anything.

The crisp click of the lock being turned rang out, and with a creaking sound, a faint light shone through the crack in the door into the dark entryway.

The door is open? Yuuki Yukino's sense of crisis intensified. The person who could open the door so easily was probably more than just an ordinary petty thief.

The person walked in through the door, the sound of her heels hitting the wooden floor was exceptionally clear, and judging from the footsteps, she seemed to have no intention of concealing her presence.

That's incredibly arrogant! How could there be such brazen criminals who dare to swagger into someone else's home?

Yuuki Yui tiptoed towards the entrance, her bare feet making barely audible sounds on the floor. Her soles were flat on the floor, but when she lifted her foot, there was still a very soft thud.

As long as the other party doesn't notice you, you can strike first and punish this reckless guy.

The next second, the guy she thought was courting death casually turned on the hallway light and the living room ceiling light, instantly illuminating the pitch-black room. This made Yuuki Eri, who was tiptoeing closer, look even more like that sneaky little villain.

"Yuan, what are you doing?"

The person at the door closed the door and frowned when they saw Yuuki Yukino's appearance.

Under the light of the corridor lamp, Yuuki Yukino could also see the person standing at the door taking off their high heels.

The person's face was very similar to Yuuki Yuuki's, but much more mature. She was estimated to be around twenty-five years old. Her long pink hair was styled into a neat single ponytail. The curve of the white shirt wrapped under her open dark blue suit jacket was more impressive than that of Yuuki Yuuki. The black silk stockings under her suit skirt also accentuated her smooth leg shape. She was dressed in a very standard office lady outfit.

Despite it being their first meeting, Yuuki Yuuki recognized the other person at a glance—Yuuki Yuuki's biological older sister, Yuuki Tamaki.

"Ran-nee?" Yuuki asked incredulously.

"What else?" Yuuki Tamaki roughly folded his coat over his arm a few times, tossed it into the laundry basket by the bathroom door, and walked over to the sofa in a few strides. He spotted Yuuki Yuu's half-finished can of cola, picked it up, and gulped down a few mouthfuls as well. "Pfft, what made you think of drinking cola?"

"Yeah, I want to drink." Yuuki Yui became flustered. The other person was clearly her family, but she didn't know how to get along with them, and she didn't even know what kind of personality they had.

Compared to talking to strangers or classmates at school, communicating with Tamaki Yuuki was much more difficult for her.

"Sister Huan, why did you suddenly come back?" To prevent Huan from becoming suspicious because of her changed preferences, Yuan changed the subject.

“Someone from the school called me and said you went to the infirmary today, so your sister, who was worried about you, took leave and came back.”

As Huan spoke, she walked to the French windows and drew the curtains. Then, right in front of Yuan, she unbuttoned her shirt one button at a time, rolled up her uniform skirt and socks, and threw them into the laundry basket from a distance.

"Eh?" Yuan let out a short scream and quickly turned her head, revealing a malicious smile on Huan's face as she saw this.

"What are you doing? Are you shy because you see your older sister's body? Who was it when you were in junior high school who kept pestering your older sister to take a bath and sleep together?" Tamaki smiled and pressed Yuuki Yuki's head against her chest, giving her head a few hard rubs.

This action should have been quite ambiguous, but after hearing Huan's words, Yuan's resistance vanished.

It's common to accidentally expose your body in front of family members, and there's no need for sisters to avoid it; there's really nothing to be ashamed of.

Huan's other remark also caught Yuan's attention.

"Did the school call?"

"Yes, I heard my lovely little sister was sick, and I almost went straight to the school to visit you."

Fortunately, Huan didn't go directly to the school, otherwise she might have stumbled upon the indescribable scene between herself and Baqi.

"About work..."

"How can work compare to Yuan, right? You can just take a day off! I heard you were alright, so I finished my work and came back, so I can spend the whole weekend at home. I've been working so much lately and haven't had a chance to spend much time with Yuan. She's even lost weight..."

Huan lifted Yuan's clothes, pinched her stomach with her hand, and looked at the small circle of belly she had pinched with a puzzled expression.

"Yuan, have you gained weight?"

"No, I didn't!"

Yuuki Enishi used an extremely loud voice to cover up her guilty conscience. She really didn't know how much a girl should normally eat at this age, but she could eat two big bowls of rice at a meal when she was at home.

"It's okay if she's a little chubby, Yuan will always be my cutest little sister no matter what." Huan pinched her cheeks a couple more times and put Yuan's clothes down.

"I already said it (skirt)!"

Unintentionally, Yuuki Yuuki felt as if she had found the secret to getting along with others. Perhaps it shouldn't be called a secret, but rather the ease of spending time with family.

Family love is truly amazing.

"Oh, right, Yuuki." Tamaki slipped into her room, took a loose T-shirt from the closet and put it on, raising her voice slightly so that Yuuki could hear her.

Is there something on your stomach?

Chapter Ninety-Two: You can't lie to family members!

Yuuki Yukina's still-unsettled mood was stirred up again by Yuuki Tamaki's casual question.

Magical girls gradually lose their magic and memories of magic when they reach a certain age, which is clearly stated in the setting.

But nothing is absolute. The setting also says that corrupted magical girls are a symbol of self-degradation. How do I look like I'm self-degrading?

If Huan could see the Black Magic Runes and understand their meaning...

She couldn't possibly pin her hopes on the fact that Huan was also a corrupted magical girl; anything else that might reveal her dark magic markings could be considered entirely harmful.

　If the coffin is really seen, should we try to make sure she can never say it again?

The budding family affection began to struggle against the calm of self-preservation.

But Huan hasn't done anything yet.

"Let your older sister see!" Tamaki, who had already changed her clothes, lifted up Yuuki Yukino's pajamas.

The black demonic markings on her abdomen seemed to radiate light, imprinting themselves on Yuuki Yukino's body, unchanged from when she was first seen.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Yuan was momentarily stunned. If she had screamed and dropped her clothes immediately, she might not have had to endure this torment. Huan held her clothes with one hand and pinched her chin with the other, carefully examining the area around her navel, where the black magic pattern was located.

Will we be able to see it or not?
