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

"Not only my mother's hospital, but I checked all the hospitals in Yuehai City through my mother's connections... The girl named Yumehara Sumireko does exist."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Yuuki felt as if her heart, which had been pounding violently in her chest, had stopped beating for a few beats.

Yuuki Yukino could already guess what Sakura Hanako was going to say, given how serious Sakura Hanako was.

Yuuki Yukino was even a little afraid that she would hear the same news that she had imagined.

But she had to listen.

"Sakura, don't rush, tell me slowly." Yuuki Yuki's voice was trembling noticeably.

"Yuki-senpai." Sakura Hanako swallowed hard and uttered the answer she least wanted to hear, just as Yuki En had guessed.

"Sumireko Yumehara passed away a year ago."

Volume

Chapter 1: Bombaka Bomb, who acquired a disobedient electronic pet.

Since the slumber incident was completely resolved, Yuuki Yuki has not had such a peaceful sleep in a long time.

Before, there were love hotels and the floor of Mizuno Yu's house. A group of people were crammed together and there was no way to get a good night's sleep. For Yuuki Yuuki, the best time was when she lay in her own bedroom for half the night.

As for taking a short nap in the cold wind of the Moon Sea Tower, and spending those days half-asleep and half-awake while being hung in the room by Yumehara Sumireko, those were even more torturous.

On the night when everything was almost settled, and Yuuki Yukino brought back all the magical girls that Yumehara Sumireko had imprisoned in the Dreamland, Yuuki Yukino didn't get a good rest.

First, she colluded with Xiaoli and the others to exchange their statements. Then, she told her sister, who had rushed back overnight, about the agreed-upon statements. In order to resolve the issue of Yumehara Sumireko's soul bubble still being in her hands as soon as possible, Yuki En had to drag her tired body to school.

However, according to Sumireko Yumehara.

……

Hours before Yuuki Yuki returned home, at Minato Nana's coffee shop.

Sakura Hanako seemed a little reserved, as if she had done something wrong.

"Senior Yuuki, Sumireko Yumehara passed away a year ago."

"N-She's gone? Where did she go? Was she transferred to another hospital?" Yuuki asked instinctively without even thinking.

Although Yuuki Yukino knew very well what Yumehara Sumireko's answer meant, she still subconsciously avoided the worst-case scenario.

"Yuki-senpai!" Sakura Hanako raised her voice slightly, but secretly controlled her voice so that no one else could hear: "Yuki-senpai, Yumehara Sumireko... she has passed away."

Yuuki Yukino was stunned.

At that moment, she felt as if she were completely out of place amidst the jubilant atmosphere of the room, as if she were the only one who had fallen into a bottomless ice cave in the midst of celebration.

Has Yumehara Sumireko's body, which has lost its soul, already passed away?

How am I supposed to keep my promise to Sumireko Yumehara...?

……

"You big bad guy! Wake up! You big bad guy! Wake up! What time is it?!"

Sumireko Yumehara's noisy voice came from the bedside, mercilessly disturbing Yuuki Yukino's sweet dream.

"Stop it...it's only this early..."

Yuuki Yukino, still half asleep, covered her head with the blanket.

"Get up!!!"

Sumireko Yumehara's voice was much louder than usual, making Yuuki Eri's ears ache.

"Shut up!"

Yuuki grabbed the handheld game console from her bedside table and slammed it into her pile of clothes.

"Waaaaah!" Sumireko Yumehara's voice faded into the distance, but she still grumbled and complained muffledly amidst the pile of clothes.

Ten Spirits* Dream Cage 3488 Minutes later, Yuuki Yukino, whose hair was disheveled from being disturbed, picked up her handheld console from her clothes.

"I knew you were a bad person! Humph!" Still dressed in her pajamas, Yumehara Sumireko pounded on the screen with her little fists, her face full of anger.

"I'm not a bad person, I want to sleep, sister." Yuuki Yukina said to Yumehara Sumireko on the screen while tidying her hair and rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Sumireko Yumehara's body is indeed gone, but the vessel she needs doesn't necessarily have to be her former body.

So Yuuki took out her beloved handheld console, which had Nyaruko's abilities and Sumireko Yumehara's Alice abilities, so it wasn't difficult for her to let Sumireko Yumehara's soul live in the handheld console.

However, although the handheld console looked the same, it was transformed into a unique and strange product that was half technology and half magic under the operation of the two people.

At least Sumireko Yumehara herself is very satisfied with this solution. Not only can she talk to people outside directly through the handheld screen, but she can also play some mini-games like Othello with Yuuki Yuuki on the handheld. She can even ride the Pokémon that Yuuki Yuuki painstakingly caught and run around the map.

If Yumehara Sumireko were to actually wake up in her original body, basic necessities like food, clothing, shelter, and transportation would be a problem for her, since Yuuki Yuki couldn't possibly raise Yumehara Sumireko herself.

Sumire Yumehara's bratty personality is incredibly troublesome and could cause all sorts of problems. It's also unrealistic to expect Sumire Yumehara to work while constantly using her divine liberation ability. Yuki Eri definitely hadn't considered these things.

In this way, Sumireko Yumehara wouldn't have too many conflicts with people and could freely play games on Yuuki Yukino's handheld console, which wasn't entirely a bad thing for her. At least Sumireko Yumehara herself accepted it quite readily.

While it can't be said that this is a blessing in disguise, not only Sumireko Yumehara herself, but also Enishi Yuki is very satisfied with the current situation.

Just think of it as raising a slightly troublesome electronic pet.

However, virtual pets don't go as far as Sumireko Yumehara.

"Wait! Wait! Sumireko Yumehara! What have you done?!"

Just as Yuuki Yuki was about to put down her handheld console, she caught sight of the almost empty Pokémon storage behind Sumireko Yumehara, who was grinning mischievously.

"Hmph, you finally found out! You big bad guy! I released all your little fairies! Who told you not to get up!"

Aside from a few unique legendary Pokémon in the game, Pokémon obtained through redemption codes given to him by Nisio Reki, and reward Pokémon from each Pokémon All-Powerful Battle that cannot be released, everything else is gone.

"Sumireko Yumehara! I'll kill you!"

Yuuki Yukino's last bit of sleepiness vanished instantly, and all her fatigue transformed into overwhelming rage, so angry that she transformed right there in her bedroom.

Several tentacles appeared on the handheld console screen and began to pound wildly on Sumireko Yumehara's head, which was covered in bear pajamas.

"You want to kill me?! Come on, who's afraid of who! Who's afraid of who!"

Yumehara Sumireko covered her head and dodged for a while, then swung her soft bear paws and tore the tentacles that Yuuki Yukina had stretched out to shreds: "Come on! Keep hitting me! Hit me again and I'll release these few too!"

"Hmm?" Yuuki Yui frowned first, then saw a small group of little fairies following behind Yumehara Sumireko.

"Wait, wait, wait a minute!" Noticing the little guys, Yuuki Yukino's eyes widened suddenly: "W-Where did these shiny Shiny Pokémon come from...?"

Yumehara Sumireko smiled smugly, puffing out her meager little chest: "Hmph, needless to say, of course I caught it while staying up all night."

"Um... let me remind you, the probability of a shiny Pokémon appearing is only one in four thousand. So... one, two, three, you caught all three of them?" Yuuki Yuen's voice started to stutter.

Seeing Yuuki Yukino's surprised expression, Yumehara Sumireko became even more smug: "Of course, what's the point of battling with ordinary Pokémon?"

Regular Pokémon are everywhere, but you need to level them up and train their abilities and effort values. Shiny Pokémon are rare and hard to come by.

Putting aside the psychological value of having your beloved Pokémon released after being raised for so long, it's not difficult to recreate the same team using the materials in Yuuki Yuuki's game inventory.

You should know that Yuuki Yui bought a handheld console during the summer vacation. While she was holed up in the family restaurant doing her summer homework with the other members of Nijisanji, the handheld console was almost always in her hand. Even so, she only managed to catch one.

Three in one night—that's an incredible combination of sheer aggression and incredible luck.

"I'm sorry! Respected Ms. Yumehara Sumireko, you are my lucky star. Please allow me to retract my rude remarks. You did nothing wrong!" Yuuki Yuen stood up straight instantly, then raised her eyebrows with a fawning expression: "So... could you catch a few more for me?"

"No way! You just yelled at me." Sumireko Yumehara crossed her arms and snorted in refusal.

"I was wrong, you see, you have nothing to do anyway, right?" Yuuki Yui rubbed her hands together, looking expectant. "Great Ms. Yumehara Sumireko, please help me, aren't we good friends?"

Yuki Yukino's words seemed to strike a chord with Yumehara Sumireko, causing her to clutch her chest like a startled animal, clutching the large bear paws beneath her pajamas.

"Friend...friend!"

There is a play!

"Yeah, yeah, we're good friends, please help me out!" Yuuki Yui rubbed her hands together faster and closer, her face almost touching the screen with a very gentle smile.

Sumireko Yumehara pouted and stuffed the little sprites one by one into the warehouse, as if deliberately ignoring Eri Yuuki.

Yuuki Yukino, on the other hand, wasn't in a hurry at all.

Please, that's a Shiny Pokémon!

Half a day later, Sumireko Yumehara showed the same expression as Helica:

"Hmm... okay, okay, just this once."

"Yay!" Yuuki Yuuki happily pumped her fist: "Then I want the forgetful sheep, the autistic mushroom, the midnight jellyfish... and also, a DJ bear!"

"Don't push your luck!"

The bowl needs a rest! A rest!

I might need to maintain a single update for a day or two to adjust my state (although I've said this many times recently, I've never truly relaxed).

This volume may be quite long; that's the outline we're planning.

And so, the story of the final volume begins.

Chapter Two: The Girl's Long-Dormant Heart

"Uh, so this is what happens to this guy now?"

Herlica pointed to the handheld game console that Yuuki had brought to the activity room, curled the corners of her mouth, and whispered in Yuuki's ear.

On the screen of the handheld console that Yuuki Enishi had placed on the table in the Nijisanji activity room, Yumehara Sumireko was perched on the back of the Pokémon she used as a mount, shouting happily as she directed the Pokémon to speed across the snow-covered plains.

"Yes, judging from the results, that's the case." Yuuki Yuen scratched her head, realizing that Yumehara Sumireko's attention wasn't on her, so she answered honestly.

"What? What? Are you whispering to Yuuki?" Baqi, sitting on the other side of Yuuki, immediately stuck her head over, fiercely protective of her.

Given their previously irreconcilable relationship, it was impossible for Baqi to appear in the Rainbow Club's activity room, let alone have lunch with everyone.

And now, not only is Baqi here, but Nishio Reki is also sitting openly opposite Yuuki Emi, quietly eating his bento box.

This is also thanks to the cooperation between Yuuki Yuki and her group during the slumber incident caused by Yumehara Sumireko, which led to a significant change in the magical girls' opinions of Nishio Reki and Inuyama Tomoe.

Although the magical girls' instinctive hatred for the corrupted magical girls still prevented them from completely trusting Yuuki and Tomoe, Yuuki had already proven through her actions that she was trustworthy.

As for the things that Yuuki Yuki and Tomoe had done in the past, although they were indeed evil deeds, firstly, there was no large-scale destruction involved, and secondly, many of them were just misunderstandings, so it's not appropriate to settle scores now.

More importantly, there's really no need for everyone to make things so strained.

Moreover, even if the two sides really fight, aside from Yumehara Sumireko who is currently hiding in the handheld console and Nishio Reki who will definitely side with Yuuki Yuki, just the two of them, Yuuki Yuki and Inuyama Tomoe, working together would be difficult enough to deal with.

This doesn't even include the cases of Kou Mori and Hyakki Senyou from St. Yuu Academy.
