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

There was no way Yuuki Yukari could mistake the building where her home was located. She moved closer and looked into the room through the window. The layout was exactly the same, but it seemed that no one lived in her house; it was just an empty space.

Yes, that's right. The buildings here are no longer empty shells. The level of completion is completely different from what Yuuki Eri saw at the beginning.

More importantly, this neighborhood is definitely part of Moonsea City.

A fake Moonsea City district appeared in the dream world. Yuuki Enishi couldn't explain how it was formed. She had also seen Moonsea City in Helica and Hyakki Senyou's dreams.

However, she doesn't need to guess. As long as she sees with her own eyes what's here, all her questions will be answered.

Because the source of the particularly strong magical power she initially sensed was right here in this fake Moonsea City.

Since it's Yuehai City, although some things are different from what I remember, it will be much easier to find Yuuki Yuki again.

This is a city I know all too well. If I can get lost here, then the past six months since I was transported here from the game I played will have been completely wasted.

It always feels like searching for the boss in a miniature garden map, doesn't it?

But that's not entirely wrong either. If they didn't fight Sumireko Yumehara, many mysteries would remain unsolved, so their battle was inevitable.

After seeing the magical girls' memories, Yuuki Yukino felt pessimistic about the situation of the few who had fallen into slumber. She could only pray that Yumehara Sumireko hadn't done anything to them yet, or that each extraction would take a long time.

Stop overthinking and start looking.

After touring for a while longer, Yuuki Yuki finally made a brand new and huge discovery.

She heard a sound, rhythmically and slowly ringing out.

It was the sound of an instrument, incredibly deep. Its timbre wasn't as bright as a guitar, nor as noisy as a drum, but rather had a weighty quality, as if you were resting your head on a flowing river.

The sound seemed to penetrate the air and strike Yuuki Eri's heart, but it wasn't an attack; it was just a quiet performance.

It sounds familiar, but Yuuki Yuki can't quite place it right now.

In short, heading towards that sound is definitely the right thing to do.

It has to be said that this feeling of searching for a target by following a sound is becoming more and more like searching for a game boss. Moreover, in reality, there is even a boss who thoughtfully uses music to show his presence, which is indeed quite magical.

With the voice guiding her, Yuuki Yuuki's search became much easier this time.

In less than half a minute, Yuuki found the owner of the voice under a tree.

She was able to discern what was making the sound.

After all, the answer was already written on their faces.

It's the sound of bass.

Ah, it's bass. No wonder I couldn't tell.

Although Yuuki Enishi still really likes bass players, especially those cool older sisters who can play bass and sing at the same time, the kind who can make the electricity meter spin several times during a concert.

However, Yuuki Yukino still frowned.

The girl playing bass, impossible:『?）The witch, the affairs are Yumehara Sumireko, and indeed not Yumehara Sumireko.

She was a girl with short chestnut hair, dressed in very ordinary casual clothes, leaning against a tree and playing the bass.

Nine times out of ten, a girl appearing in a place like this is a magical girl.

Regardless of the other person's identity, Yuuki Yuuki felt it was necessary to have a talk with them.

Just as Yuuki Yuki noticed the girl, the girl also noticed Yuuki Yuki's presence.

The girl slowly took the bass off her shoulder and placed it on the grass beside her before turning to look at Yuuki Yuki.

The disdainful look made Yuuki Yukino very uncomfortable.

But when she saw Yuuki Yuki's face clearly, her eyes, which had been narrowed in disdain, suddenly widened.

The disdain in his eyes quickly turned into resentment.

This look startled Yuuki Yukino.

What did I do? Why did she get so angry just from seeing me? Is it a crime to listen to her play a piece for a while?

It's not like we're playing "○○ Shadow" (a popular Chinese film), and besides, the person's hair color isn't chestnut!

No, she was playing bass under the big tree by herself. I was just passing by. What business is it of mys?

But even the girl in front of him felt incredibly familiar to Yuuki Yuki.

Yuki searched her memory and realized that she had seen someone with such a look in their eyes before.

Kuroba Reincarnation? No, Kuroba Reincarnation always looked down on others, and his gaze was different from the one the other was showing now.

Saint Shion? That's even more wrong. Saint Shion looks more like a little devil to me than Helica Tenrai, who's pretending to be a little devil.

Masashiro Gakuen? Absolutely impossible.

That's right, it's her!

The look in Ms. Hui's eyes when she looked at me was the same one that remains missing to this day.

It wasn't just resentment; it was naked jealousy.

"Yes, they look alike, very alike."

The chestnut-colored girl nodded as she stood up, muttering to herself as she rolled up her sleeves.

Black Magic Pattern!

Yuuki Yuuki would never mistake this for something else.

In this world of cracks, no matter how those memories develop, they belong to ordinary magical girls. This is the first time that Yuuki Yui has seen a corrupted magical girl, and not just a memory bubble, but a complete corrupted magical girl.

She was getting up when she touched the bass that she had placed on the grass.

But this time, what she held was the bass fretboard.

Moreover, she held it in reverse, with the main body of the bass held horizontally in front of her like a club.

Sharp blades protrude from the body of the instrument, gleaming with a chilling light.

The next second, Beth, who had transformed into a one-handed axe, swung it down at Yuuki Yukina's head.

"You pink-haired bastards, all of you, die!"

No slacking off! Double the update!

Despite the heavy rain today, Wanwan declined the invitation to stay overnight and braved the floodwaters, wading through water up to her shoes, to come back and update!

Chapter 173 Why are you yelling at me!

Good news! After searching the Dreamland, Yuuki Yuuki has finally found traces of the corrupted magical girl.

The bad news is that the other party is not Yumehara Sumireko, whom Yuuki Yukino is looking for.

To make matters worse, this corrupted magical girl was a madwoman, spouting incomprehensible things like pink-haired girls should all die, and charged at them waving her bass.

This is no ordinary bass; it's a bass with sharp blades that looks like an axe—a bass that can be used to chop people up.

Are you kidding me?! What kind of bass guitar is used to smash people?!

Before Yuuki could think any further, the sharp blade slammed down on her head with a whistling sound.

Even though Yuuki Yui had already become wary of this girl who was sitting under the tree playing bass and whose origins were unknown—who plays bass all by themselves for no reason?

However, if the other party hadn't shouted first, Yuuki Yukino might have been caught off guard.

Even with mental preparation, it was still a bit of a struggle for Yuuki Yukino to dodge this sudden attack.

The axe blade grazed Yuuki Yuki's chest; if Yuuki Yuki's enormous treasure chest had been any larger, it might have been hit.

This is the first time I've discovered that it's true that smaller size can increase evasion.

Lost in thought, Yuuki Yukino's axe blade, which had landed heavily on the ground and made her ears ring, was swung up by the girl again.

The advantages of the double-edged axe are fully utilized, doubling the area of ​​attack. Even a slight deviation in the angle of the swinging motion can result in another attack on Yuuki Enishi.

Yuuki Yukino dodged the attack, but her skirt did not. Right before her eyes, the axe blade sliced ​​a shocking gash through the part of her magical dress.

"Waaaaaah!"

Yuuki Yui screamed as she stepped back on the grimoire, pinching the edge of her skirt, which had been cut in half, and looking at the clean cut. Then she looked up at the girl who was holding the bass in her hands and then hoisting it onto her shoulder.

After Yuuki Yuki let go of her hands, the hem of her skirt automatically parted to the left and right, revealing everything underneath. It seemed that a wardrobe malfunction was unavoidable.

Magical girls, after all, can be defeated, rendered unconscious, and unable to recover.

There were no onlookers here, no acquaintances, and I hadn't gone out without a shirt on. I threw away that pointless sense of shame, I threw it all away.

Even though Yuuki Yukino thought that way, her face still burned bright red.

The girl opposite Yuuki Yukino wouldn't stop her attack just because she felt shy. The bass she was carrying on her shoulder was swung around in a wide, sweeping motion, and swung at Yuuki Yukino's waist.

Despite being a heavy magic wand similar in type to Helica's weapon, it possesses a sharpness that can leave a large gash on defensive magic armor with just a glancing blow. Such an attack should not be underestimated.

Yuuki Yui used her air superiority to dodge the girl's attacks, which were swift but somewhat clumsy, by stepping on the magic book.

Each time Yuuki Yukino dodged an attack, the girl would let out a heavy, distressed breath, or sometimes a loud sigh. Regardless of her reaction, her attacks only grew more ferocious.

Just like the hunter in a certain escape game who is being outmaneuvered, the girl started to panic, and the axe she swung down became more and more powerful.

I need to concentrate; this guy has already flown up and is chasing after me, hacking at me.

It's not that Yuuki Yukina doesn't want to fight the other party; the other party is indeed shrouded in mystery and would definitely be of help to Yuuki Yukina.

Yuuki Yukino came here only to defeat Yumehara Sumireko, quickly clear this damned dream, and break the curse of slumber; not to punish the corrupted magical girl who appeared here.

Therefore, she needs to conserve her magic and try her best to avoid fighting with enemies.

She does possess a great deal of magical power, far exceeding that of a normal magical girl, but that doesn't mean Yuuki Yukino should waste it carelessly.

With the experience and insight gained from so many battles, Yuuki En was able to roughly judge the cost of fighting her opponent based on just a few attacks she made while chasing her.

Weighing the pros and cons, Jiechengyuan was left with only one thought—the best of the thirty-six stratagems is to flee.

But they have to let me leave first!

"Why are you chasing me?! Is it wrong for me to have pink hair? What did my pink hair ever do to you?!"

Yuuki screamed in despair as the grimoire spun rapidly in the air, catching the girl chasing her before she could react, and brushed past her.

"Because you're a damn pink-haired girl too! Every single pink-haired girl deserves to die!"

The other party actually answered while swinging an axe, though Yuuki Enishi's answer sounded awkward no matter how she looked at it.

Didn't you just say that once already?
