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

“It’s alright.” Yuki Yuki stretched out her arm again, pushed Baqi back a little, and stood in front of Baqi herself.

After Yuuki Yuki blocked Tomoe's body, she clearly heard Tomoe's suppressed laughter.

What? What's going on here? Is it really that funny to have your own name or to be acting opposite yourself?

Even Yuuki Yukino herself couldn't hold back her emotions after hearing this.

No, I can't laugh, I have to hold it in, that annoying guy is about to disappear.

Yuuki En's face hardened, and tentacles, resembling flower branches, crawled out from the grimoire beneath her feet.

It's a classic case of playing along; Cheng Yuan is very adept at this kind of thing.

The outward-radiating magic seemed to darken the night sky even further, and tentacles, like tendrils poised to strike, pointed at Helica, who was dragging a warhammer, creating an atmosphere of imminent conflict.

Yuuki Yukino gave a cold, self-assured snort and gave Sakuragawa Nana a cold glance.

"That powerless magical girl over there, I'll give you one more chance. Today, she's my only prey. The feud between us should end here."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Powerful! Gentle! Intelligent! A Perfect Senior

The battle that was happening in front of Nana had completely exceeded her comprehension.

The blonde magical girl who came to her rescue when she was in danger was already locked in battle with the pink demon. The golden warhammer and the pink demon's wand, which was made of strange lines, clashed together, making Sakuragawa Nana's eyes dazzled.

The two men's movements were not large at all, and the fighting range was limited to a very small area, but every move was extremely dangerous. If they were not careful, they would definitely fall into a place of no return.

"Hey, take this a little more seriously, or people will notice your weakness!" Helica swung her warhammer with both hands, deliberately aiming each attack at Yuuki Yui's wand.

"Enough with the nonsense. Just give me a couple of blows and let me go. I'm in a hurry." Yuuki Yuuki pouted, raised her imaginary warhammer to block Helica's attack, and swung the hammer out again as if in a turn-based game.

Not only were the movements small, but there was almost no leakage of magic power. Although the two wands looked like they weighed a thousand pounds, there was no wind pressure generated when they collided. Only extremely precise control of power could achieve this.

Since the start of the battle, the pressure on Sakuragawa Nana seemed to have vanished without a trace, and even when facing the pink demon again, she no longer felt powerless.

Could it be that the magical girl's senior used her magic to completely negate the pink demon's influence in order to protect her from the weaker version of herself?

Helica banged on Yuuki Yuuki's warhammer, using the clanging sound to cover her whisper: "No, even if this is just an act, don't be so perfunctory. At least release some magic! What's the difference between this and playing around?"

Yuuki En was struggling to keep up and was showing signs of exhaustion under Helica's attacks: "You know me, I try not to use magic if I can avoid it. Just hurry up and hit me with a hammer when I'm showing weakness, that's all. Hurry up and hurry up."

"What do we do later? Where do we meet?"

"Let's talk again. Let me get away first, then send that guy back. I'll send you the details on my phone later."

Just how powerful the Pink Demon is, even if Sakuragawa Nana doesn't experience it firsthand, she can get a glimpse of it just by looking at news reports before she became a magical girl.

Sakuragawa Nana wasn't sure how many people could actually fight the Pink Demon like that, but she figured there must be some magical girls in Tsukimi City who could do it.

But in front of this magical girl, the arrogant pink demon began to fumble and struggle.

It's amazing that they were able to compress the pink demon into this shape without damaging a single brick or tile!

With such a petite body and such immense power, just watching this magical girl fight was a delight for Sakuragawa Nana.

Wow, that's amazing! To see such a powerful magical girl in action, even dying would be worth it.

Sakuragawa Nana was engrossed in watching, while the outcome of the match was already decided.

The blonde magical girl's hammer swing seemed powerful, yet it was as if it had no weight, tracing a strange and tricky trajectory that struck the pink demon squarely on the shoulder.

The pink demon stumbled backward several steps, landing in the arms of another silver-haired, corrupted magical girl who hadn't made a move, thus avoiding a direct fall to the ground.

The pink demon had long lost its former brilliance and glared resentfully at Helica, the Thunder God standing in front of it, wielding a warhammer.

"You're lucky today."

The pink demon tossed her long skirt, grabbed the silver-haired, corrupted magical girl beside her, and without looking back, transformed into a streak of light, flying into the night sky.

It ended so easily?

Sakuragawa Nana couldn't believe her eyes.

It turns out that the mountain that seemed insurmountable to her was nothing more than that for a magical girl.

I must also hurry up and become stronger.

After Yuuki and Yuuki had walked a little further away, Tenrai Herika finally released the warhammer in her hand and restored the magic wand to its magical power, which flowed back into her body.

So, what is this guy going to do?

As Helica thought to herself, she glanced at Sakuragawa Nana standing behind her out of the corner of her eye.

Although Helica thought it was great that Yuuki Yukino didn't lay a hand on Sakuragawa Nana, seeing Sakuragawa Nana's face, Helica still felt that she would be more at ease if Yuuki Yukino taught her a lesson a little.

Herica's turn of the head left Sakuragawa Nana completely bewildered.

That powerful senior is looking over here. How should I deal with it?

Should I give her a grand bow, express my gratitude, or tell her what happened before?

I can't keep my seniors waiting! Anyway, let me say something!

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"Ah, it's nothing, just a small matter." Helica glanced at her and waved her hand casually.

How confident he is! Is this confidence the secret to this senior's strength?

No, it is precisely because he has sufficient strength that this senior is so confident.

We can't let this fall into an awkward silence; we have to say something more:

Why didn't the senior chase after them?

Why didn't you chase after her? You let Yuuki Yuki escape, so why should you chase after her?

But you can't say that to Sakuragawa Nana.

Regardless, she is a magical girl, and she absolutely cannot reveal the unique relationship between herself and Yuuki Yuuki to those who do not know the inside story.

If I wanted to explain, I could, but I would have to start from when I first met Yuuki Yuki and continue until Yuuki Yuki completely destroyed Sumireko Yumehara's dream world.

Helica didn't bother saying much. She wasn't even familiar with Sakuragawa Nana, and putting on an act in front of her was already giving her a lot of face.

But he couldn't not answer. It was a small matter if Sakuragawa Nana noticed something amiss, but it would be a big problem if he exposed the true identity of a magical girl.

It's important to know that magical girls must never reveal their identities, otherwise endless trouble awaits them, whether for good or bad, it will be a huge problem.

Fine, I'll go all the way and give it one last act.

"Don't underestimate those two. There are definitely quite a few corrupted magical girls in Moonsea City, but very few like them who have been completely defeated so far. This shows that they are indeed extraordinary. Not only do they each have rich combat experience, but their wand abilities are also amazing. If they were to activate their divine liberation, they would be even more surprising."

What a powerful statement! It not only demonstrates immense strength and absolute confidence, but also such caution and prudence, leaving no opportunity for evildoers.

This senior must be a role model for magical girls who are gentle, cheerful, meticulous, and kind to others!

"I see, I understand now, senior!"

The title "senior" gave Tenrai Helica a unique sense of satisfaction, especially when it came from Sakuragawa Nana's mouth; that feeling was amplified.

Her identity as a magical girl gave her advantages that Yuuki and the others didn't have, allowing her to ask Sakuragawa Nana questions openly and confidently, as a senior.

If Yuuki manages to extract any information from Sakuragawa Nana, she'll probably praise herself, right?

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

Even if you don't try to get any information, it's something a senior like yourself should do to understand the cause and effect of the matter.

If she wanted to speak, Helica couldn't always keep her back to Sakuragawa Nana, so she turned around to leave a cool impression.

"So, what happened?"

My senior asked me a question, so I have to answer it properly!

Sakuragawa Nana immediately tensed up and stood at attention in front of Tenrai Herika.

"Reporting to you, senior, this is what happened!"

"Mmm." Helica nodded, listening with great interest.

"I sensed an ominous magical power, so I rushed here to punish the evil, corrupted magical girl, only to encounter the pink demon. If it weren't for you, Senpai, I'm afraid I would have..."

So that's why I came here.

Helica suddenly realized what was going on and pressed further, "Did she do anything to you?"

"No, no. Thank you for your concern, senior." Sakuragawa Nana shook her head.

The story goes that those two idiots didn't go home in the middle of the night and just flew around in the sky above Yuehai City, and then happened to be spotted by Sakuragawa Nana.

Do they both have some serious illness?

Wait, it seems that Sakuragawa Nana in front of me also has some serious illness. When I arrived, I didn't see them make a move; they were just stuck there in a stalemate.

Herrica could directly ask Sakuragawa Nana, "Why are you just standing there like an idiot if I didn't do anything to you?"

Helica's question left Sakuragawa Nana speechless.

She didn't want to just stand there like an idiot, but because of the pressure from the pink devil, she couldn't move even if she wanted to.

It's best not to tell your seniors about such embarrassing things.

If I leave a timid and cowardly impression on my seniors, how will I be able to learn from them in the future?

“I…” Sakuragawa Nana stammered, unable to speak for a long time, only able to hum incoherently.

Before Helica could even furrow her brow, Sakuragawa Nana quickly shouted it out.

"I was terrified by the pink demon! I couldn't move at all! That's why I'm just standing there dumbfounded!"

I knew I couldn't lie to my seniors!

Having already made such a shameful impression, trying to cover up one's mistakes and lying to one's seniors is compounding the error and is absolutely unacceptable!

Be honest. Even if you are criticized or even looked down upon by your seniors, you must honestly tell them the whole story.

Sakuragawa Nana watched with extreme nervousness as Herlica's gaze subtly changed, anxiously awaiting Herlica's criticism of her embarrassing reaction.

"Disgraceful bastard!" Helica cursed inwardly.

Being so frightened by Yuuki Yukino that she couldn't move—even Sakura Hanako has never been this humiliated!

Although Helica remembers that Sakura Hanako's reaction when she first met Yuuki Yuuki was quite embarrassing, and she even contributed a famous line that everyone still jokes about today—"Senpai, don't throw up, I'm scared."

Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.

Oh wait, there seems to be a connection. This isn't the first time Sakuragawa Nana and Yuuki Yuuki have run into each other. Helica doesn't know what happened last time.
