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

I have to say, it's a bit of a disaster...

But if we can rely on the information in our memories to avoid the inevitable bad outcome, it's not such a big deal, is it?

But...but...will my future involve doing *that* with Kobayashi?

You have to take off your clothes this way or that way, move your fingers this way or that way, and then your whole body will become a terrible mess.

I only considered Xiaoli my best friend...

Ugh... Ugh... Just thinking about it makes me so shy...

Yuuki Yui wanted to cover her face to hide her shy expression, but the intense pain all over her body made it impossible for her to do so.

Ah, yes, I was rescued from those ruins by my sister who had run away from home.

I am now lying in a hospital bed, smelling the pungent odor of disinfectant, listening to the endless beeping of some kind of instrument, and looking at the pale ceiling above me with square light tubes embedded in it.

From the reverie in her mind, Yuuki Yukino suddenly returned to the cold, hard reality.

The "memories" in her mind tell her that her family members all died in the accident, and that she was raised by her older sister in the future.

This information occupied only a tiny corner of her memory, yet it was enough to extinguish the last glimmer of hope in the little girl's heart.

The grief, which had been contained by the brain's self-defense mechanisms, burst forth like a dam, completely overwhelming the helpless girl.

My own home, my own family, everything that belonged to me, is gone.

Just like that, so suddenly, so lightly, it was all gone.

Thinking of this, the tears that had been welling up in my eyes burst forth uncontrollably, making the pale ceiling even more blurry.

The little girl choked back sobs and wailed until all the air seemed to be squeezed out of her chest, until her vision, blurred by tears, became increasingly dark.

The girl's cries were drowned out by the cries of others and the hurried voices of people.

After a disaster, her experience was just a tiny microcosm among hundreds of tragedies.

But for little Yuuki Yuuki, it meant losing everything.

Time passed day by day, and gradually, she was able to speak normally and get up normally. Later, she was able to walk without any problems.

A girl with short pink hair was almost always by Yuuki Yukino's bedside.

She always carries a few of these things with her.

With dark circles under his eyes, a tired expression, and a smile that seemed to never fade but gave off a slightly sad feeling.

With the girl by his side, time passed day by day.

Gradually, the day came for Yuuki Eri to be discharged from the hospital.

……

"Xiaoyuan, do you know? This is our new home! When I was in the band, I saved up a lot of money, enough to buy a house!"

The girl held Yuuki Yuuki's hand and used the key in her other hand to open the brand-new security door, showing little Yuuki Yuuki the room that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, and talking to her with a smile on her face.

Yuuki blinked and looked at the room the girl was showing her.

Although the layout here is different from what Yuuki Yuki remembers, everything looks brand new and is missing a lot of things that should be there, Yuuki Yuki can still recognize that this is the place she remembers as "home".

This was indeed Yuuki Yuuki's first time visiting this place.

In the years to come, Yuuki Yuuki will look into this room countless times and will stay in this place forever.

"Alright, alright, Yuuki, stop standing there in a daze at the door, let's go inside." The girl placed her hand on Yuuki's back and gently pushed her body.

Yuuki Yui took clumsy steps; her leg, in a cast, was still a little painful to move, making her walk very, very slowly.

After several attempts, Yuuki Yuuki finally managed to step over the low threshold.

"Xiaoyuan, you're amazing! Is anything hurting? Are you feeling tired? Do you want to take a break?"

The girl gently coaxed, encouraged, and praised Yuuki Yukino.

Yuuki Yukari could tell that the other person was not suited to do this kind of thing at all, but the other person did try their best to do it.

The girl spoke in a tone as if she were coaxing a child, even though Yuuki Yukino was indeed a child at the moment.

"Yuan, say something! What's wrong? Are you... are you alright?" The girl held Yuuki Yuu's small hand, squatted down in front of her, and looked at Yuuki Yuu's face, which was still covered with large bandages, with concern.

At this moment, the girl's tone was much more sincere than when she was trying to make Yuuki Yukino happy.

Yuuki closed her eyes and gently shook her head.

"Are you unhappy?"

Shake head.

"Are you tired?"

Shake head.

"Xiaoyuan, are you alright?"

This time, it was a nod.

Yuuki Yukino wasn't quite sure how to get along with this older sister.

To be fair, my sister has been very good to me.

In one memory, her older sister was a devoted and selfless sister who took care of her as she grew up.

In a more recent memory, my sister was a troublesome girl who caused distress to her family and gossip among the neighbors. She selfishly ran away from home and never took any responsibility, only causing trouble.

At this point, Yuuki Yukino was able to understand what a delinquent girl really meant.

That's why she didn't know how to get along with her sister.

Ultimately, will the things we remember really happen?

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." The girl straightened up and took Yuuki Yuuki's small hand again, but positioned herself to be about the same height as the short Yuuki Yuuki: "Let's visit our new home."

"This is the living room, this is the coffee table, and this is the TV. Xiaoyuan knows all of these, right? Yes, Xiaoyuan definitely knows. I bought them all from the brands we used to own."

"This is the bathroom. When Xiaoyuan was little, she could only go to public bathhouses, so I chose a house with a large bathroom so we can take a bath at home, and Xiaoyuan has a bathtub she likes."

"And here, this is Xiaoyuan's room. This desk is a newly built multi-functional desk, and it's pink, just like Xiaoyuan's hair. Isn't it cute? Xiaoyuan's bed is pink too, and so is her wardrobe. They're all the latest styles. Haha, I don't really know much about them."

"Mmm, this is my room... When Xiaoyuan grows up a bit and doesn't need me to sleep with her anymore, I'll sleep here."

"Oh right, this is the kitchen. Although I don't know how to cook yet and need to learn from scratch, I'm sure I can learn it well for Xiaoyuan!"

"Hmm, and... I don't think there's anything else. Isn't it great? I told you, your older sister is really amazing. She's already earned so much money that she can give Xiaoyuan a better life. We can eat whatever we want and play whatever we want."

The girl spoke with great enthusiasm, holding Yuuki Yukino's hand, and slowly walked through every corner of the room.

"I'll earn even more money in the future, and I'll stay by Xiaoyuan's side even longer. I'll give Xiaoyuan everything I can. And let me tell you, I'm super, super amazing..."

As the girl spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, so soft that Yuuki Yui had to tilt her ear to hear what she was saying.

"So what's so impressive about that?"

The girl uttered a very soft question.

"What's the point of making so much money, building such a famous band, and gaining so many fans?"

"I don't want to... I don't want to..."

The girl pursed her lips, turned her back, and slapped her forehead hard with one hand, making a crisp sound.

Even from Yuuki Yuki's perspective, one could see that hand gradually tightening its grip, grabbing the girl's pink hair from her forehead, roughly twisting it into a ball, and holding it tightly in its palm.

"Idiot! Fool! Moron! Scoundrel! Hopeless!"

Yuuki Yukino could also feel that the hand holding her small hand was also quietly tightening its grip.

At the same time, it trembled even more violently.

The girl knelt down on the brand-new floor with a thud, lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled even more violently.

Then, the hand that was holding Yuuki Yuki loosened, and the girl lifted it up again and again, wiping it across her red eyes.

My sister is crying.

Yuuki Yui knows.

But what should she do now, and what can she do?

Yuuki Yukino doesn't know.

She simply followed her heart, quietly walked behind the crying girl, opened her bandaged arms, and embraced the shoulder that was several sizes bigger than hers.

The girl's body trembled, and she was stunned, as if she had never imagined that little Yuuki Yui would do such a thing.

Immediately afterwards, the girl turned around and hugged Yuuki Eri tightly with even more force.

My memory of that day is very vague.

Yuuki Yukino only remembers that her sister was crying, and she was crying too, for a very long time.

But she remembered one thing clearly.

Yuuki Tamaki, who was holding him tightly in his arms, kept repeating the same sentence.

"Xiaoyuan, I'm sorry."

From that day on, she seemed to suddenly understand how she should get along with her only sister.

……

"Ah! Xiaoyuan! Are you alright?!"

The little black-haired girl noticed Yuuki Yuka quietly walking into the classroom with her small schoolbag on her back. She immediately pushed aside the classmates blocking her way and ran to Yuuki Yuka.

"what!"

Seemingly realizing he had said something wrong, Nishio Reki immediately covered his mouth with both hands and gave Yuuki En a pitiful look, the last thing he should have done.

"Hmm." Yuuki Yuen shook her head, tugged at her sleeve to cover the bandage on her hand: "I'm fine now, Reki."

“Th-that…that…” Nishio Reki looked around, his mouth gradually puffing out.

Although Yuuki Yui didn't say anything, she noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Children at this age cannot hide their thoughts; their concerns, curiosity, worries, fears, and all sorts of positive and negative emotions are fully revealed.

Thanks to the experiences that came with those memories, Yuuki Yuuki was able to clearly understand everything and emerge from that shadow more quickly.
