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

Although it was only a brief exposure to sunlight, it was Yuuki Eri's first and most crucial step.

"That's right! Yui!" Nishio Reki's voice suddenly grew louder, startling all the children in the class, and some of the more timid ones even cried out.

But Yuuki Yukino didn't. Firstly, she wasn't that fragile; rather, the previous blows had dulled her senses considerably. Secondly, her dulled senses also protected her, shielding her from further stimulation.

Yuuki Yukino merely curled her somewhat pale lips into a smile and softly uttered a question.

"Ok?"

"Xiaoyuan, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me! Although my grades aren't very good, I will teach you well."

After holding it in for a while, Nishio Reki shouted loudly, her face flushed, as if this somewhat embarrassing sentence had exhausted all her strength, leaving her slightly out of breath.

"Hmm." Yuuki Yukino slowly curved her eyes into a smile, giving Nishio Reki a reassuring one.

It's okay, everything will get better gradually.

……

"Hey Xiaoyuan, anything interesting lately? I feel like all the movies these days are so boring!"

Nishio Reki pouted and rolled around on Yuuki Yuki's bed.

"Interesting stuff? You're about to graduate from junior high, why are you still thinking about this kind of thing? What if you don't pass the entrance exam for Yuehai Middle School?"

Yuuki Yui put down her phone, poked Nishio Reki's foot, causing Nishio Reki to scream and curl up into a ball like a pill bug.

Many years have passed since she started living with her sister, and Yuuki Yukino has gradually transitioned from feeling uncomfortable in various ways at the beginning to taking it for granted in her daily life.

As a transmigrator, or rather, a reincarnated person, those cheat codes deep in her memories helped her a lot.

The most obvious benefit is that the knowledge stored in Yuuki Yuuki's mind can help her complete her current studies smoothly. Although she has forgotten most of the content, she still has no problem getting a decent grade.

Of course, it would be asking too much of Yuuki Yukino to be among the top two. Both smart people and hard-working people exist, and Yuuki Yukino can achieve this result almost without studying, which she is very satisfied with.

Then there are some minor details, such as the various recipes that exist in Yuuki Yuuki's mind, some simple life tips, and some life experiences.

They can either help Yuuki Eri improve her quality of life, or they can help her avoid many detours.

Most importantly, the tragedy of his childhood, if he hadn't suddenly recalled the memory of being another version of himself, would probably have been a huge blow to a child.

Why did she recall those memories? Yuuki Yuuki vaguely remembered that a voice told her that it could grant her wish to live.

But none of that matters. I'm doing pretty well right now, and that's enough.

As for Nishio Reki, Yuuki Yuuki didn't know what kind of feelings she had towards him.

At least so far, Nishio Reki is Yuuki Yuuki's childhood friend, someone she's grown up with. They've argued, gotten angry, and had many more happy experiences together.

But the fragments of memory remind Yuuki Yukino that the future Nishio calendar will encounter a series of troubles.

Of course, along with those troubles, Nishio Reki may also encounter different people and have different fantastical experiences.

Among those fantastical experiences, there are also some blush-inducing and heart-pounding scenes.

Yuuki Yui didn't want to see that kind of thing happen, at least she didn't want to see Nishio Reki and others doing that kind of thing.

If you're going to come, you'll have to come by yourself, right?

As a genuine reincarnated person, Yuuki Yukino is not so easy to change her orientation, even though her gender has changed and she has accepted the change.

That being said, Yuuki Yuuki doesn't see any boys here.

"Hey! Hey! Yuuki! Are you even listening to me?!" Nishio Reki hooked his finger and tapped Yuuki's head several times.

"Yes, yes, of course!" Yuuki Yui rubbed her head and stepped back a little: "So, what did you just say?"

"You still didn't listen!" Nishio Reki waved his fist, pretending to be angry, but then softened up immediately: "I mean, even though my grades aren't very good, I've put in a lot of effort to get into the same school as Yui!"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right." Yuuki Yui nodded seriously. "Then, Kotori, why don't you try a little harder?"

"I...I'll kick you!" Nishio Reki stretched out his leg again, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to kick it. Instead, he muttered to himself in a somewhat withdrawn manner:

"I've already tried my best! That's why I want to be happy! Doesn't Xiaoyuan have any special or unique hobbies?"

"Hobbies? Girl bands?" Yuuki Yui rolled her eyes and thought for a moment.

"Ah..." Nishio Reki drew out the word, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Does Yui want to form a girl band?"

Yuuki knew what Nishio Reki wanted to say. Her older sister had suddenly dropped out of middle school and run away from home to form a band for a few years, which was not a good memory for Yuuki.

Now that Yuuki Yukino has personally stated that she likes girl bands, it's not surprising that Nishio Reki is thinking that he might repeat his sister's mistakes.

"What are you thinking about? I like watching girl bands!" Yuuki Yukina poked Nishio Reki's head again.

"I don't know anything about it. Which band does Xiaoyuan like?" Nishio Reki mumbled, pouting, before asking again.

"Which one..." Yuuki Yui rolled her eyes and thought for a moment, "In terms of style, I probably prefer the cool RAS a bit more, but in terms of the band's style, Hello Happy World might be more popular, but..."

"Wait, wait a minute! Pull...pull what? And what Valdo?" Nishio Reki was listening seriously at first, but when Yuuki Yuki said a few words that he didn't know, Reki's eyes started to swirl with confusion.

"Oh dear, it's nothing serious!" Yuuki Yuen waved her hand. "Karei wouldn't like it anyway!"

"But I want to know what Yuuki likes, and I want to know Yuuki more!" Nishio Reki clenched his fist and said to Yuuki with conviction, revealing the most serious expression that Yuuki knew about him.

“I see…” Yuuki Yuen opened her mouth slightly, then subtly curled her lips into a smile: “Then I’ll explain it to Koreshi.”

That afternoon, the two of them, unusually, didn't study and chatted until Yuki Tamaki finished work, talking until late at night.

Yuuki Yuzuki talks about her favorite band, a band forcibly formed by a weirdo named Tsurumaki Shin, a band full of weirdos who also claim to bring smiles to the world.

Of course, there are also stories about each member of the band.

Of course, we can't forget the girl named Misaki Okuzawa, who was forced to join the band by Kokoro Tsurumaki, wanted to quit time and time again, but softened when she saw Kokoro Tsurumaki's smile, and finally became deeply infatuated with the band and Kokoro Tsurumaki.

"Wow, so the story of the girl band is already this interesting!" Listening to Yuuki Yuuki's narration, Nishio Reki's eyes seemed to sparkle with stars, and then he suddenly seemed to think of something: "So, Yuuki, who is your favorite member of this girl band?"

"If you were to ask me who I like," Yuuki Yukino thought for a moment, "Michelle, perhaps?"

“Michelle?”

"Yes, that pink and tender, huge bear that can do somersaults, DJ, and fly around in a powered mecha."

"Hmm... Wow, Xiaoyuan's tastes are really unique."

"However, I may not only like Michelle. There is also the girl hidden inside Michelle, the girl named Okuzawa Misaki, the girl with beautiful long black hair like Koyomi."

Yuuki Yukina, who was sitting on the floor, rested her head on the bed, looked up at the ceiling, and also at Nishio Reki, who was sticking her head over to her.

"That girl who believes in moderation in everything, yet often criticizes others' eccentric behavior while standing firmly by the band members and fulfilling their whims."

"That girl who, even if [filling the world with smiles] is an unrealistic fairy tale, will accompany her heart to the end; who only knows how to do things in moderation, yet will go all out for her heart."

"That... girl is an angel through and through, though she's a little unaware of it."

As Yuuki Yukari spoke, her sparkling eyes gazed at Nishio Ryū's deep pupils, which were like black onyx, and she smiled faintly, opening her arms to Nishio Ryū.

"So, Xiao Li, if one day you could become my angel, my Michelle who belongs only to me?"

Nishio Reki's face turned visibly red, and he fled from Yuuki Yuki's sight as if he had been electrocuted.

"We'll see!" Nishio Reki muttered to himself, "If I were to become Yui's Michelle, you can't be like a heart that doesn't recognize me, okay?"

"How could I not recognize you! If it's Xiao Li! No matter how many times, I'll recognize you immediately!"

"Well... we made a date."

……

Yes, I did say that, I did make that agreement.

Not a long time ago, just a few months ago, these memories suddenly intruded into Yuuki Yukino's heart at this moment.

It was that night when I fought Rie Tsukimi on the Moon Sea Tower and first learned of the existence of Star Sea City.

It was that night when Nishio Reki appeared in front of him wearing a pink teddy bear and chatted with him using his idiotic acting skills.

Even the words spoken by Nishio Reki seemed to linger in Yuuki Yuuki's ears.

“I am Michelle.”

Do you think Michelle is cute?

as well as.

"I am Okusawa Misaki, a magical girl."

Fool.

Whether it was Nishio Reki, who needed to hide his identity at that time but deliberately used this stupid method to convey information to himself, even going so far as to reveal the final answer in hopes of being exposed by himself; or himself, who had forgotten this memory and couldn't even uncover the mystery right in front of him, he was a fool.

Yuuki Yuuki seemed to see once again the dejected expression on Nishio Ryū's face as he negotiated with the not-yet-joined, aggressive Kōmari and the worried Inuyama Tomoe at the top of the Moon Sea Tower.

However, Yuuki Yukino couldn't blame Nishio Reki for his clumsiness, nor could she even blame herself for not recognizing him.

After all, that part of the memory was somehow locked away.

However, Yuuki Yuuki doesn't understand, not at all, what information in this memory she has overlooked, or that she can't let her present self know?

Perhaps there was, but I didn't realize it early on.

Perhaps not, but it awaits you in the distance, not far away.

What happened next was all quite ordinary.

The early storyline of the game is generally the same as the one you are familiar with.

She and Nishio Reki successfully entered Tsukimi Middle School, and then one day they suddenly became magical girls.

Following a scene from the game, the transformed version of herself saves Nishio Reki from an attack, and the two continue living together, keeping their magical girl identities a shared secret.

Then, on a summer evening, the evening that Yuuki Yuki and Nishio Reki agreed to replenish their mana together.

That is, the day Yuuki Yukino thought she had come into this world.

Nishio Reki burst into the bathroom and grabbed Yuuki Yuuki's shoulder, his eyes showing a seriousness Yuuki Yuuki had never seen before.

"W-What's wrong? Xiao Li? Why do you look so serious? Aren't you in your room...? Don't... don't be in such a hurry. I... I promised to help you replenish your mana, didn't I?"

Yuuki En looked around somewhat bewildered, covered her body with a bath towel, and her cheeks flushed bright red.

After hearing this, Nishio Reki gripped Yuuki Yuuki's hand even tighter: "Yuuki, there's no time. You have to listen to me, listen to me calmly."

Now Yuuki Yukina knows that it is another Nishio calendar, the one that Yuuki Yukina should be more familiar with.

However, Yuuki Yukino, who was covering her wet body with a bath towel at the time, was unaware of this.

Even though Yuuki Yukino wasn't aware of the situation at the time, she realized the seriousness of the problem. Her shy expression gradually cooled, and her tone became as serious as Nishio Reki's.
