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

This corrupted magical girl who appeared at night was the beginning of her great feat.

I'm different now!

But why is it the pink devil again?

What kind of luck do I have to encounter the pink devil twice in one week?

Last time, the other party let me off the hook on a whim. Will I be so lucky this time?

No, I absolutely cannot think about things like that before I even begin.

I have become stronger, no longer the weak person I was a few days ago. Even when facing a powerful enemy, it is what a magical girl should do to bravely draw her weapon.

I was indeed afraid, but as a magical girl, I shouldn't be afraid no matter what difficulties I encounter.

The best way to eliminate fear is to face it. As long as you dare to confront it, it's not a big deal!

"You still have the potential to become stronger. Go back and hone your power before trying to stop me again. Or do you now believe you're qualified to stand before me?"

The pink demon narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at herself with interest, and slowly asked in her uniquely alluring girlish voice.

No! I'm still so scared!

Sakura Nana recalled the scene from that night when she first encountered the pink demon: the power that casually crushed her wand; the aura that didn't despise her but completely ignored her; and the magic that raged like a giant wave.

From that night on, the pink demon became an insurmountable mountain in his heart.

Sakuragawa Nana knew she absolutely could not submit to her, but her body was completely immobile.

In Yuuki Yuuki's eyes, things took a completely different turn.

It seems I really do have an inexplicable connection with Sakuragawa Nana. Every time something happens, Sakuragawa Nana is there. Even if I'm just passing by in the air, she'll come out and stop me.

Now is the time to race against time to get to the music store. Being stopped like this will only make my already limited time even less!

So what does this guy mean? He's already mimicking Laughing Mountain and spouting cringeworthy lines, clearly telling her to hurry up and go back, so why is Sakuragawa Nana still standing there motionless?

Did you feel humiliated? No, you didn't! You thought it over carefully before you spoke.

Hey! The music store is really closing down in a minute!

Yuuki Yui was panicking inside, but all she showed was a cold glance at Sakuragawa Nana's face before turning her head slightly to look at Inuyama Tomoe, and then silently raising her eyebrows at Tomoe.

This is already quite explicit; if Baqi still can't see it, then she's just too slow to react.

Instantly understanding what Yuuki En meant, Baqi spoke frankly, without any intention of avoiding Sakuragawa Nana: "There's no need to go through all that trouble. If she insists on going, I'll just take care of her, won't I?"

This wasn't just something said to Yuuki Yukina. While seeking Yuuki Yukina's opinion was important, Yuuki Yukina's words clearly meant for Sakuragawa Nana to leave on her own.

Helping Yuuki Yukino put pressure on the other side is also a perfect part of the teamwork.

Listen to this, you little greenhorn who isn't even worthy of seeing Xiaoyuan's real name, Jiefang, have absolutely no chance of winning against the two of us, huh?

Yuuki Yuen slightly raised her forearm, blocking Baqi's path and pushing her behind her: "There's no need for that. I'm optimistic about her future, so don't arbitrarily dismiss her present."

"What a spoilsport." Baqi pouted and gestured with her chin toward Sakuragawa Nana: "Hey, you'd better figure it out yourself before I change my mind."

Well done, Baki!

Yuuki Yukino silently called out to herself.

The process doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter if I'm a bad guy, as long as I get rid of Sakuragawa Nana first.

The idea is good, but a good idea doesn't necessarily mean that someone will cooperate.

Sakuragawa Nana remained standing there, seemingly oblivious to their conversation, staring at him with an enigmatic yet highly challenging gaze.

Seriously? This guy's started again?

This is how Sakuragawa Nana treats Minato Nana: she completely disregards the difference in their social status and blurts out whatever she wants to say and do without considering the consequences.

At that time, Sakuragawa Nana acted impulsively and went to apologize to Minato Nana because she felt she should apologize, and Yuuki Yuki also thought that Sakuragawa Nana did a good job in doing so.

However, when Sakuragawa Nana came to apologize to Minato Nana, she felt that she couldn't swallow her sister's anger, so she caused some more trouble.

Don't do anything foolish at this time. I don't want to do anything that a corrupted magical girl would do. Wouldn't it be better if everyone just got along peacefully?

When Yuuki Yukino went to see Sakuragawa Nana again, she was inevitably a little impatient.

Yuuki Yukino neither had nor needed to hide her thoughts at that moment, except for her inner complaints.

This idea was also conveyed to Sakuragawa Nana in its entirety.

When Sakuragawa Nana confronted Yuuki Yuuki, she wasn't just standing there dumbly; she was observing Yuuki Yuuki's state.

The pink demon was starting to get impatient; leaving now was definitely the best option.

Sakuragawa Nana wanted to do the same.

but.

I can't move.

The Pink Demon has become an insurmountable mountain for Sakuragawa Nana. Calling it a mountain might be an understatement; it's practically her nightmare. She dreams of the Pink Demon in the middle of the night and has to get up, turn on the light, and catch her breath before she dares to go back to sleep.

Sakura Nana thought she had made progress after reflecting on her mistakes, but it turns out she was still standing still.

Even with progress, it's like a snail crawling from the starting point to the end of a train; there's still an immeasurable distance to go before reaching the destination.

Sakura Nana didn't want the stalemate to continue, but her mind was completely blank. She couldn't even remember how to deal with the pink demon, how to summon her wand, or even how to breathe.

Yuuki Yukino didn't want to either, as she still had things to do, but with Sakuragawa Nana blocking her way, she couldn't just leave it like that.

So, the two people, neither of whom wanted the stalemate to continue, ended up in a stalemate.

Not much time had actually passed, but the three people were getting increasingly anxious as the atmosphere between them seemed to freeze.

We already left Sakuragawa Nana here last time, how about we do it again?

As Yuuki Yukina was thinking this, a sudden change occurred.

On a clear winter night, thunder suddenly rumbled through the sky.

The thunder grew louder as it approached, like the roar of a ferocious beast, causing the air around them to vibrate as if it were solid, and blurring the view in front of them.

This is merely the outward manifestation of magic power; it is not considered a direct attack.

All these anomalies were caused by the magical girl wielding a warhammer and tearing through the air at breakneck speed.

The magical girl who came is very strong; anyone could come to that conclusion.

A few months ago, if things hadn't ended here yet, the arrival of uninvited guests from there would have given Yuuki Yuki a particularly troublesome headache.

But now it's different, completely different.

This wasn't some magical girl who came to carry out justice; this was my savior!

"No, what's wrong with you two?"

Herika's first words after the thunder stopped were an unreserved critique of Yuuki Enishi and Inuyama Tomoe.

No matter how good her relationship with Yuuki Yuuki is, she is still a magical girl, and it's normal for a magical girl to sense the aura of a fallen magical girl and come to her aid.

Yuuki Yuki was simply on her way; she neither made a move nor released her magic in a particularly obvious way. Naturally, Tenrai Herika, who was not good at finding the aura of magic among magic, could not tell whose magic it was.

If any new corrupted magical girl appears and is currently committing evil, Helica the Thunder Queen cannot turn a blind eye.

Yuuki Yuuki is Yuuki Yuuki, and the corrupted magical girls around her are them. This group is the real exception. It would be naive to assume that all corrupted magical girls are innocent and pure because of these exceptions.

However, Helica really didn't expect that Yuuki Yuki and Inuyama Tomoe would transform in order to get to their destination.

In the magical girl's mind, there is no need to transform except to cause destruction and stop destruction.

Yuuki Yukino and Inuyama Tomoe were bored and transformed into something and flew around aimlessly in the sky in the middle of the night, so it's no wonder Helica was angry.

Who would drive just to buy a drink across the street? Isn't that the same principle?

After Helica snapped at her, Yuuki Yuuki didn't react at all, but instead stared in another direction.

Another direction is...

Helica looked over and noticed that Sakuragawa Nana, whose magic power was pitifully low, was standing there ready for battle.

Helika suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that he hadn't revealed his name.

What's there to be so relieved about? We haven't even seen Sakuragawa Nana a few times, and Yuuki Yukino is already causing trouble?

It seems that Yuuki Yukino doesn't want to do this. If Yuuki Yukino wanted to bully Sakuragawa Nana, she would have done it long ago, and the two sides wouldn't be at peace until now.

Was it Sakuragawa Nana who came to cause trouble for Yuuki Yuuki?

Has she gone mad?

Regardless of the possibility, Yuuki Yukino did not lay a hand on Sakuragawa Nana, which further increased Tenrai Helica's trust in Yuuki Yukino.

It wasn't her trust in Yuuki Yuki herself, but rather her trust in Yuuki Yuki, who, despite being a corrupted magical girl, didn't do much bad things—it was a different kind of trust.

If Yuuki Yukino really did something excessive to Sakuragawa Nana, Helica would definitely feel happy, but she would also be somewhat disappointed by Yuuki Yukino's bullying.

"What are you doing here?" Helica thought to herself, cracking her knuckles as she pretended to be an ordinary magical girl passing by, completely oblivious to what was going on.

"Troublesome fellow." Yuuki Yui clicked her tongue. "Even you want to block my way?"

What's going on now?!

Right, I'm a magical girl, and there's a third—no, a fourth person—present. I can't act like we're very familiar with each other.

Even so, Yuuki Yukino's statement about "blocking my way" was just too embarrassing! How did Yuuki Yukino manage to say it without blushing or skipping a beat?

Hey! Yuuki Yukino's face is so red! If you're embarrassed yourself, don't say such shameful things!

Never mind, what should I say at this point?

Oh, right, it would be nice if she were like a magical girl.

What do you mean "like"? I am a magical girl by nature.

"Who cares about you? You're always causing trouble for Moonsea City. (The day is over, pink... Pfft, hahaha, pink... Ha, haaah, pink devil!)"

Herlica spoke with a serious expression, but the serious look on her face lasted less than three seconds before she completely broke down, laughing so hard that she was doubled over.

Help! This is the first time I've ever found the nickname "Pink Devil" hilarious.

When I used to call Yuuki Yukino something like "belly woman," "tentacle woman," or "pink-haired pervert," it wasn't this funny.

"You, you! How dare you laugh at us!" Baqi roared angrily, her eyes wide with fury.

If Helica hadn't seen Baqi's lips twitching as she tried so hard not to smile, she would have really thought Baqi was angry.
