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

For Yuuki Enishi, enemies whose thoughts are hard to fathom are the most troublesome.

Let's start from this angle.

"Sigh." Yuuki sighed, "You say I'm a bad person, and you say she's a bad person too, so why don't you let the two of us kill each other so you can reap the benefits?"

"Fish? What fish?" Sumireko Yumehara turned her little head, which was topped with bear ears, and thought for a long time: "I don't understand!"

What is all this about? This kid can't really be an idiot, can he?

Giving power to idiots is the most terrifying thing that Yuuki En finds terrifying.

Yuuki Yukino couldn't even imagine what terrible things would happen if a child who hadn't even formed a worldview were given power that she couldn't possibly control.

"I mean, if the two of us were to fight, one of us would inevitably lose, right?" Yuuki Yuen explained to Yumehara Sumireko patiently, though she herself didn't know what the point of her explanation was.

Perhaps this will get Sumireko Yumehara to reveal something about her sister's former band member?

After all, she still possessed magical powers after so many years, and the other party was still in the form of a "girl". She looked even smaller than Lantern of the Mountain, probably only a year or two older than herself. No one could explain such a bizarre thing, and Yuuki Yukino could not guess it.

"Hmm...hmm...ah, oh..." Sumireko Yumehara uttered some unintelligible syllables, then began to think again, finally nodding: "That seems right, if the two of you fight, one of the bad guys will lose, that's correct, I understand!"

It sounds like he's just repeating what he said. Did the child really understand?

Immediately, Sumireko Yumehara stretched out her bear paw, looking as if she were pointing it at Yuuki Yukino: "You, go back and fight her!"

Yes, I understand now.

"You think I'm an idiot?!" Yuuki Yuki shouted in despair.

"Hmm, is that not okay? Then forget it." Sumireko Yumehara shook her head again, looking quite disappointed.

Is there anything to regret?

Yuuki Yukino is now beginning to reflect on whether her desire to communicate with the other person was the right thing to do.

The speed at which this nonsensical information was transmitted left Yuuki Yuki completely bewildered.

No, you can't be patient. Yuuki Yuuki, just put the same effort into playing with those kids at the orphanage you did. You're the invincible leader of the Yuuki Clan.

These children are very sensitive and have very accurate intuition, so getting straight to the point is definitely not going to work.

The thing that Yuuki En couldn't understand the most about Yumehara Sumireko was why she was taking her with her. It looked like she was trying to save her.

It's strange, very strange, that a mischievous, corrupted magical girl would save someone she considers a bad person without a second thought.

"Since you call me a bad person, why did you take me with you?" Yuuki Yuen continued to ask, still holding onto this question.

“It would be dangerous and bad to let her become like that, so it won’t work,” Sumireko Yumehara replied immediately.

"Very dangerous, very bad" probably refers to the magical power that kept gathering around Kuriko, which made Yuuki Enishi feel extremely strange.

Even if Sumireko Yumehara hadn't said anything, Yuuki Yukino could sense that Kuriko's aura was completely different back then.

"What will she become?" Yuuki Yui continued to ask patiently.

"I'm not telling you, you bad person!" Sumireko Yumehara pouted, refusing to answer.

I knew it!

Yuuki Yukino wished she possessed some kind of memory-searching magic so she could empty Yumehara Sumireko's brain, wash it clean, dry it, and see what was inside.

Forget it, I still have to deduce it myself.

It seems that the only people Yumehara Sumireko has labeled as bad people are herself and her older sister's bandmates.

So how exactly did Sumireko Yumehara determine what she considered "bad"?

Is it corruption?

While this is possible, Yuuki Yuuki is not the only corrupted magical girl in the group.

Prior to this, Koumori and Hyakki Senyu had also fallen into a deep sleep, and Inuyama Hatsuki was also a corrupted magical girl, but Yumehara Sumireko did not have any special reaction to Hatsuki.

Otherwise, it's because she was able to use the power of her tentacles to make everyone enter a dream together, disrupting Sumireko Yumehara's rhythm, which is why Sumireko Yumehara is so hostile towards her.

Maybe that's it. If Yumehara Sumireko's reasons for being hostile to me and that guy are the same, maybe the other person can also enter the Dream Realm through some means.

Yuuki Enishi believes the possibility is not very high, and it's best not to continue making wild guesses.

Yuki Enishi seemed troubled, and in fact she was very troubled, but she still subtly inquired about the reason why Yumehara Sumireko hated her so much.

"Why are you calling me a bad person again? Tell me exactly what makes me a bad person. I haven't done anything wrong, so why are you so hostile towards me?"

"I don't care, you're a bad person anyway."

"Then you have to tell me what I did, right?"

"You didn't do anything! But you're still bad!"

"How can you slander someone like that?! I didn't do anything wrong, and you call me a bad person? You can't bully me like this. What did I do to offend you? Can't you at least tell me?"

"I don't care, I don't care, you're a bad person anyway!"

Yuuki Yukina was driven to the brink of madness by Yumehara Sumireko's repetitive and repetitive remarks.

The other person still won't talk to me. She'll answer any of my questions, but what she says is meaningless and she won't give me any information.

"What do I have to do to make you believe me?! I didn't do anything! Why do you keep saying I'm a bad person?! Can't I be your friend?!"

Although Yuuki Yukino didn't really want to be friends with Yumehara Sumireko, she always felt that becoming Yumehara Sumireko's friend would make her like someone turned into a doll, a common character in horror movies, but she couldn't care less about that now.

You can't catch tiger cubs without going into the tiger's den; you still have to be willing to take a risk.

It seems that Yuuki Yuki's frantic shouts and the word "friend" really moved Yumehara Sumireko, and Yumehara Sumireko finally said something different.

"Hmm... how about this! You go and kill that bad guy, and I'll admit you're not so bad."

what?

I hit that guy? Really?

Yuuki Yukino knew just how terrifying the magic power Hanzawa Kuriko unleashed at the end was, and Yumehara Sumireko certainly knew as well, perhaps even more than she did.

I knew nothing about it, and I still had to go back and fight that guy, only to be told in return, "It's not that bad."

Even without considering conserving magic power to deal with Sumireko Yumehara, and letting Yuuki Yukina fight that girl without restraint, Yuuki Yukina cannot guarantee a victory.

Sumireko Yumehara noticed Yuuki's hesitation and crossed her arms in front of him, looking like a child who wanted Yuuki to go but didn't want to say it directly.

"If it doesn't work, then forget it. Anyway, I'll punish all of you bad people."

Yumehara Sumireko is quite sensible; the kind who cries, throws tantrums, and yells at you to do things your way, otherwise they'll start a war with you.

"Then why don't you punish her first?" Yuuki Yu took a deep breath, her words clearly indicating her refusal, but she still asked the question first.

“Because she’s troublesome, I might not be able to beat her.” Sumireko Yumehara frankly admitted without any guile: “You said you two could fight, so you two should go and fight.”

"Isn't this sending me back to my death?!" Yuuki Yukari screamed, trying her best to make her twitching expression look less exaggerated.

"Whether I forced you or not, you two are both bad people anyway, and I'll take care of you sooner or later." Yumehara Sumireko blinked, looking completely innocent.

How did we end up circling back to the same point again?

Yuuki Yukino was genuinely feeling overwhelmed at this moment; not only was her expression showing signs of distress, but she was also starting to feel uneasy.

"You always say we're bad people, but aren't you just as bad? You kidnapped my friends and said you'd punish us. Is what you did right?"

Since things wouldn't get any better if he continued talking to Sumireko Yumehara, Yuuki Yukino became increasingly aggressive.

Yuki Yukino has made a somewhat impulsive choice. It could either scare Yumehara Sumireko away or lead to a direct war with her. Yuki Yukino has prepared for both possibilities.

She wasn't wasting time on her journey; she had a general idea of ​​what might happen after meeting Sumireko Yumehara, and what Sumireko Yumehara would do.

But Yuuki Yukino never expected that, when confronted with her questioning, Yumehara Sumireko would puff out her almost flat chest and righteously admit, "What I did was right! I did nothing wrong! I'm not a bad person!"

This shameless remark almost made Yuuki Yukino burst out laughing.

"You say you're not a bad person, then why did you arrest them?"

"I want them to be my friends, not to be arrested!"

"You clearly said you were going to take my friend away!"

"That was just said in anger! That doesn't count! Besides, if they stayed by your side, they would definitely be harmed by the misfortune they bring! Because you're a bad person!"

This statement made Yuuki Yukino think about it some more.

Let's set aside what Sumireko Yumehara said about taking away her friend; let's just consider it an angry outburst.

The key point is the part after Yumehara Sumireko; Yuuki Yukino simply cannot believe that it was just something said in anger.

Sumireko Yumehara revealed two important pieces of information.

Because she considers herself a bad person, Sumireko Yumehara doesn't allow anyone else to stay around her.

Furthermore, because I am a bad person, I am bound to bring misfortune upon myself.

Chapter 178 Cooperation and Cooperation

Yuuki En had no way of directly verifying Yumehara Sumireko's claim that she would bring misfortune to others.

Even if she did verify it, Sumireko Yumehara might not tell Yuuki Yukino everything she knew.

We can set aside for now the reasons why Sumireko Yumehara sees herself as a monster, but there are some things that are more important to Enishi Yuuki right now that we need to get information out of her.

The whereabouts of the magical girls who were captured by Sumireko Yumehara and taken to the Dreamland.

Yuki En also discovered that Yumehara Sumireko's personality was really childish, so sometimes using methods to coax children might be surprisingly effective.

Of course, it shouldn't be too obvious.

"Even if you say that, you still arrested them and locked them up. Do you consider them friends? They're clearly bad people too!"

Yuki En mimicked Yumehara Sumireko's tone and gave Yumehara Sumireko a big label.

If I were to ask directly, "Where are the people you captured?" Sumireko Yumehara would definitely not tell me. But if I were to give a wrong conclusion, Sumireko Yumehara would vehemently refute me.

It's a very simple tactic of provocation, but it works.

Whether adults or children, most people still care a lot about proving their innocence.

Yumehara Sumireko's face immediately turned red after being deliberately slandered by Yuki Yuki. It was unclear whether she was embarrassed by being hit or angry at being misunderstood.

"I said no, and that's final! They're all fine, nothing's wrong! If you don't believe me, if you don't believe me!"

If you don't believe me...

Yuuki Yukina felt that she was about to hear the answer she wanted to hear.
