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

Also, what does this have to do with pink hair?

The scene of being chased all over the place with a bass guitar is something that Yuuki Enishi can't imagine at all, except for the pink-haired guitarist and brown bassist who are in love and hate in some fan works.

Even if I were pink-haired, I wouldn't want to have a love-hate relationship with this kind of guy!

There's absolutely no love in it!

Could this guy be a bassist who got hurt by some pink-haired guy while playing music, and now he hates it and vows to kill all pink-haired guys?

Is this some kind of nonsense? This kind of setting only appears in old-fashioned martial arts novels; any modern work of art would never do something like this!

Uh, although Yuuki Yuuki did see a magical girl who wanted to expel all magical girls without exception, it doesn't seem to be the same thing, does it?

While Yuuki Yukino was thinking about all sorts of random things and figuring out how to escape the enemy's pursuit, the girl's speed suddenly increased once again.

Although this crazy woman is a bit eccentric, she still has a tactical mind. She first uses normal speed to numb herself and lower her guard, and then she plays her trump card to launch a decisive blow.

Not only the speed, but the power was also on a completely different level from the previous attacks.

There's no escaping it.

But actually, there's no need for Yuuki Yuki to keep hiding forever; she's starting to gain popularity now.

After being chased by you, this crazy woman in my dreams, for so long, do you really think you're easy to bully?

The purple runic greatsword met the girl's axe swing head-on. The blade and axe clashed, sparks flying as the metal clashed. The hollow part of the bass vibrated and emitted a resounding groan that made Yuuki Yuki's ears ache.

Not only her ears, but also Yuuki Yuki's hands were numb from the powerful impact, and her hand holding the broken sword trembled uncontrollably.

The runic greatsword did indeed block the girl's attack, but it also fulfilled its mission after helping Yuuki Yuki block the attack.

Although Yuuki Yuki was not injured by this attack, it was only by chance.

Ultimately, it was Yuuki En who misjudged the strength of her opponent.

No, it's because Yuuki Yukino misjudged the upper limit of the magical girls that could appear in her dreams.

The question of how strong the clones of magical girls in dreams are, and whether they could surpass Sumireko Yumehara, were all theories proposed by Yuuki Yuki, who has always firmly believed in them.

But now Yuuki Yuuki has been slapped in the face by reality.

After the girl severed the greatsword belonging to Kuroba Rebirth from Yuuki Yuuki's hand, another axe blow followed immediately.

Since the opponent has already attacked, just try your best to block.

Ding--

This time, the sword that was cut in two was a long, slender katana.

thump—

This time it's a huge warhammer with half its head cut off.

squeak-

The roaring chainsaw was forcibly stopped, and the flung chainsaw chain flew everywhere.

With each clash, a translucent purple magic wand is broken, then tossed behind Yuuki Yuki and turns into specks of light, briefly deflecting the girl's battle axe.

Even if this is the gap between dream and reality, isn't this clone of a magical girl who appeared in the dream a bit too powerful?

Has the other party already reached this level before even activating divine liberation?

Judging from the current offensive, Yuuki Yuki is still fully capable of blocking the opponent's attacks.

But how long can Yuuki Eri be held back here by a fake magical girl?

Yuuki Yuuki's biggest fear right now is that her opponent will suddenly mimic a line from a movie and say, "I could fight like this all day long."

I don't have a whole day to waste.

In that case, Yuuki Yuuki can only use magic to replace the passage of time.

When the battle axe struck down and cleaved through the whip and tentacles used to restrain it, Yuuki Yukino finally found an opportunity. She retreated sharply, putting distance between herself and the berserk girl.

Of course, the girl wouldn't let Yuuki Yui slip away right under her nose. She stomped heavily on the ground and rushed a few steps in the direction Yuuki Yui had fled.

Yuki Yuki had no intention of running away at all.

The opportunity she finally found wasn't just for her to escape.

Yuuki Yukino's ambitions were only growing.

Tiny lines intertwined around Yuuki Yuuki, creating a brand new wand.

The girl, rushing forward, had no time to change direction and could only maintain her current momentum, heading in both directions towards the great gift that Yuuki Enishi had given her.

Just as Yuuki Yuki had predicted, the opponent had no way to escape unscathed from such a dense rain of swords.

If Helica's warhammer or Lava Lamp's lava greatsword are considered heavy weapons, and Hyakki Senyou's twin blades are considered light weapons, then the opponent's weapon is considered a medium weapon somewhere in between.

It's a one-handed axe, not some giant axe like those worn by Viking warriors.

If we were to draw an analogy, it could be compared to the large scythe that Cheng Shengshiyin wields.

As for their own spellbooks, wands like Sakura Hanako's snake staff (a magic-type wand), Baki's matchlock gun, or Mizuno Yu's bow (a ranged wand) are all considered special types.

Different countermeasures must be developed for different attack methods.

Hairy is weak to fire, large is weak to doors, heavy armor is weak to thunder, fat is weak to chrysanthemum... No, I'm getting off topic. Medium weapons, although their speed and power are not inferior, are not outstanding either. Just like Sumire Yumehara's Paw Bear Set, they are fine to fight.

Once I've figured out a way to deal with it, things will be much easier. I'll just use the same fighting style I used when I trained Helica in the military, and bombard her with a large number of fake wands. I won't have to worry about not being able to defeat her.

Each attack was not heavy, but blocking them all was not easy. It required either extremely fast speed and precision to cut them all in half, or to create an impenetrable protective barrier with one's own abilities. However, the opponent did not demonstrate either of these abilities.

The girl watched helplessly as the blade of the katana grew larger and larger in her pupils, eventually disappearing from her sight and entering her body. In the next second, it turned into a speck of magical light and vanished, leaving only a shocking wound.

The dull thud of the wand piercing through her body echoed in the girl's ears. She swung her battle axe with imposing force, but it was unable to block all of Yuuki Yuki's attacks.

Enveloped by Yuuki Yuki's rain of wands, the girl's movements became increasingly sluggish, and the distance between her and Yuuki Yuki, just a few steps away, now seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

Even today's young women are regressing rather than progressing.

There is a play.

As if inheriting the kingly aura of standing on a street lamp, Yuuki Yukino's carpet-like wand attacks became increasingly fierce. The sharp raindrops pounded on the enemy's body, inflicting new wounds, which continued to accumulate and suppress.

Finally, unable to withstand Yuki Enishi's fierce attacks any longer, she was swept away as if facing a violent torrent of water.

The girl who fell to the ground rolled twice and couldn't get up for a long time.

I was absolutely right! My judgment was flawless!

Although this fighting style is indeed a waste of magic power.

Every battle, every stage of life, involves weighing options and making choices—a question people constantly ask themselves, yet never find an answer to.

Hesitation is more fatal than making a mistake, so Yuuki Yukino has made her choice.

Although Yuuki Yuuki doesn't like judging people by their appearance, since the other party is a corrupted magical girl who started attacking her right away, with the reason being "pink hair is so annoying," it's like she's completely refusing to communicate. So, subduing her shouldn't be a problem, right?

Even if this doesn't work, if the other party really pushes her to that point, Yuuki Yuki still has a trump card to use.

She was pulled into this situation by Sumireko Yumehara, and the Enmusubi was still wearing on her hand.

Without the power of fate, even if Yuuki Yuuki had the guts, she wouldn't dare to pursue her dream alone. Yuuki Yuuki clearly understood the difference between courage and recklessness.

After defeating the enemy blocking her way, Yuuki Yukino immediately began to consider her next move.

If Sumireko Yumehara isn't here, then where is she?

Is Sumireko Yumehara's strength really as weak as Tomoe claims, given that she can create such a powerful magical girl illusion in a dream?

And what about the mysterious suppression the other party exerted on him?

In short, there's no point in just daydreaming here. I should hurry up and get going, searching and thinking at the same time.

Yuuki Yui wanted to leave, but she found that it wasn't so easy for her to leave.

"Yuki!"

The girl, her clothes soaked in blood, knelt and screamed, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Yuuki Yuki like a maddened beast.

She just said... Yuki, right?

But this guy? How could he possibly recognize me?!

Even before the girl's voice, Yuuki Yukina sensed the surge of magical power emanating from her.

Yuuki stiffly turned his head back, clenching his teeth as he looked at the scene he had already guessed, at the girl who made no attempt to hide her hatred, and at the brink of madness.

The black demonic runes branded on the girl's wrist had somehow floated in mid-air. The girl raised her scarred arm and used the battle axe in her hand to shatter the black demonic runes into pieces.

The chaotic magical power that Yuuki En had initially sensed was now clearer, like a squid spewing out thick ink, staining the surroundings with its color.

Click, click.

The bass strings snapped in the girl's hands, and the wooden pieces of the bass continued to crack, peel, and turn into points of light, revealing a wand that was somewhat similar to, yet completely different from, the one before.

We already knew what the girl was doing when Yuuki Yuki saw the black magic mark.

"Yuki... Yuki, Yuki!"

The girl, leaning on the one-piece battle axe and the bass-shaped magic wand made entirely of metal, slowly stood up from the ground.

"It's you! It's always you! You're always getting in my way! And now, are you going to cause me trouble again, just like every other time?!"

Yuuki Yukina realized that she had guessed wrong once again, and very wrongly at that.

Firstly, this girl is not some phantom of a magical girl created by Sumireko Yumehara, but a genuine fallen magical girl.

Although Yuuki Yukino didn't know why the other party was here.

Although theoretically, there is absolutely no way this guy could be here.

Secondly, Yuuki Yukino already knows who the magical girl screaming desperately in front of her is.

Chapter 174 Severe Injury

The characteristics of the corrupted magical girl who was chasing Yuuki Yuuki and wildly hacking and slashing with an axe were particularly obvious. Based on what Yuuki Yuuki saw, she immediately thought of someone she had heard of before.

Although that person should have been defeated long, long ago.

Yuki En remained unsure until the other person shouted "Yuki" with all their might, at which point Yuki En was finally certain that her guess was correct.

The famous detective, Yuuki Yukino (or someone else), once said: "After eliminating all the wrong options, the remaining answer, no matter how bizarre, is undoubtedly the truth."

Is that really what was said? Oh well, whatever, whatever, that's roughly the gist of it.
