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

"Rose Garden".

"What was the band's first original song?"

"Black bullets."

What was the name of your first album?

"Icebird".

"And what was the name of your last album?"

"Rose Maze".

How did you know all that?

"Why wouldn't I know?"

After a series of rapid-fire questions and answers, Sakuragawa Nana was starting to lose face.

Rose Garden was a band from many years ago. Although they were very popular for a time, they will eventually be forgotten over time. The questions she asked are not difficult, and you can find the answers with a simple search engine. But the fact that she can still answer them fluently after so long shows how valuable her skills are.

Could it be to appease me...? No, no, they didn't know what I would ask, they couldn't even have predicted this argument, how could they possibly have prepared for this without prior knowledge?

This blond dwarf is definitely something.

Yuuki Yukino also mentally cheered for Helica. She and her sister had lived together for so long, and even considering the memories she had lost, she didn't know that her sister's band was called Rose Garden, let alone the questions that Sakuragawa Nana had asked.

But isn't this perfect? ​​Herica's fluent responses made it much easier for her to continue.

“Look, she’s a real fan of her sister’s band, not like you said, who got carried away after watching one live performance and decided to join a band.”

“That’s right. If I were to impulsively join a band, I’d be really sorry. I’ve been impulsively doing that for years.” As soon as Helica saw Yuuki Yukino speaking on her behalf, she immediately began to put pressure on Sakuragawa Nana without holding back.

"After playing for so many years, you're still at this level." Sakuragawa Nana muttered softly, but Tenrai Helika could just hear her clearly.

"What did you say? I... I have to twist your head off today!" Herica's anger flared up again, and if Inuyama Baki hadn't been holding her back, she would have pounced on Sakuragawa Nana.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I heard everything. That level is just pathetic."

Besides her achievements, Helica has nothing to be proud of except perhaps her band's level of skill.

Yuuki had seen Helica's state of mind several times when Baqi surpassed her in grades, but that was ultimately a matter of individual ability. No matter how unhappy Helica was with Baqi, she had to admit from the bottom of her heart that Baqi was indeed very outstanding.

However, given that Sakuragawa Nana so directly dismissed her performance, it's perfectly normal for Tenrai Helica to want to hit her.

It's really frustrating that Helica doesn't resemble her seniors at all.

It took Yuuki a while to calm the two down from their latest argument.

She also explained to Sakuragawa Nana why Tenrai Herika wanted to form a band. Sakuragawa Nana accepted it after listening, but her prejudice against Tenrai Herika didn't seem to lessen at all.

The argument did subside, but the atmosphere didn't improve much.

Helica Tenrai was still upset about what Minamoto Nana had said about her poor playing skills.

"You, you wait, I'll play a piece for you right now and let you hear what my true strength is."

"I'm not listening! Why should I waste my time listening to your performance!"

How can you know if my technique is good or not if you don't listen to my playing?

"I don't even need to hear it to know! Skilled people don't need to rush to prove themselves."

"You know without even hearing it? So, you're saying your skills are really good?"

"Just kidding, my skills are amazing, okay?"

"What's the use of just talking? All you do is boast!"

"If you don't believe me, let me teach you what real music is!"

"You yourself said that skilled people don't need to rush to prove themselves, tsk, that's a contradiction."

They were arguing quite fiercely just now, but it was all very serious. Now it's just like kids having a tantrum.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were arguing, which was giving Yuuki Yuki a headache, their childish way of arguing would actually be quite cute.

But most of the previous misunderstandings have already been resolved, so there's no point in analyzing who was more or less wrong. The conflict has now completely shifted to the two of them.

In short, the two people have been arguing for so long that there are no other conflicts. It's just that neither of them is willing to give in to the other, or they just don't like each other and want to have a few words. It's that simple.

"What's there to argue about? It's simple. Neither of you is convinced of your own abilities and neither of you wants to listen to the other's performance. Why don't you find a judge and have a competition to see who's better? That's what we did when Nishio Reki and I were both dissatisfied with each other. Anyway, there are plenty of people here. Come on, let's have a competition."

Baqi, who had completely become a spectator, suddenly interjected, fanning the flames as if she didn't mind the drama.

Yuki Yuki gets furious whenever Baqi's previous matches are mentioned.

How dare you bring that up? What were Baqi and Li comparing back then? They were comparing their own humiliating displays! And in front of Seishin, Hong Moli, and Bai Gui Qianyou!

After that incident, Yuuki Yuen felt that she had lost all her authority. Even though she was now much stronger than Kuroba Reisei, she had neither the authority of Kuroba Reisei nor the imposing presence of a powerful figure like Lava Lantern.

It seems that only in front of Sakuragawa Nana does he feel a little bit more sophisticated.

But then again, what Baqi said was actually a good idea.

Why not just let the two of them decide a winner and end it all?

Even if a winner has to be decided, and one side will inevitably lose, Yuuki Yuki feels that it would be a good lesson for either Tenrai Herika or Sakuragawa Nana if either side lost.

But Sakura Nana obviously doesn't think so.

"No way! You're all in cahoots! I don't even need to guess to know you're all on her side!"

It doesn't sound like you're refusing, but rather worried about unfairness, right?

“We wouldn’t stoop to doing something like that. Stop making assumptions!” Helica scoffed. “If you want to compare, just find a street corner, a live house, anywhere is fine, you can choose whatever you want.”

"You can choose whatever you want? Then let's go to Sister Platinum's place, Liulinger Ershiba. We occasionally perform on stage, so this place should be fine, right?"

"Apart from that live house, they're all regulars at your place, and even in the voting, they're all in your favor. What's the point of comparing them?"

"So what's there to compare here?"

"We've already said we wouldn't stoop to doing that kind of thing..."

Very good group^2 pick zero (five;). Three, the two people's words are like a car rolling around several times.

The monotonous content gave Yuuki Yuki an even bigger headache.

On one hand, they said they wouldn't go to Platinum Ring Live House, and on the other hand, they said it was fair there, and that other live houses weren't places where you could just perform at a lighthouse. As for things like street performances, those were completely rejected.

So what to do? No one can convince anyone else, and then they start getting stuck on the same old issues.

After what seemed like an endless stream of conversation, Helica finally found a new angle: "You just mentioned 'you guys'! You have your own band too, right!"

"Yes, so what?"

"You're still a student at Yuehai Middle School, right?"

"So what if I am...?"

"You knew that students are allowed to sign up for the Christmas party at Yuehai Middle School, right?"

“That is…” Sakuragawa Nana suddenly hesitated, her previous assertiveness completely gone.

Helika's words were clear enough that anyone could understand what she meant.

Why would Sakura Nana hesitate?

Oh right, Yuuki suddenly remembered that Helica seemed to have mentioned once that Sakuragawa Nana was also the kind of student who never went to school.

In the world I remember, this kind of student would have been expelled long ago.

I must say, the schools in Yuehai City are really gentle.

It's easy to understand; for Sakuragawa Nana, a student who never goes to school would indeed be a huge challenge to appear at a Christmas party.

Even if the stage Helica mentioned is absolutely fair, it's not a stage that Sakuragawa Nana can step onto.

But Helica didn't care about any of that. Seeing Sakuragawa Nana's conflicted look, she immediately became smug, as if she had already won: "Oh, chickening out? Afraid that you can't even beat our newly formed band?"

"I'm not a coward! How could I possibly be inferior to you guys?" Sakuragawa Nana vehemently denied.

"You're not a coward, so come on then? What? You're scared? Afraid of losing? Afraid of losing in front of the whole school? It's okay, just admit defeat here, right?" Tenrai Herika raised her eyebrows, an expression that even Yuuki Yuu found somewhat irritating.

"I...I..." Sakuragawa Nana gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly: "Bring it on! Who's afraid of who! Let's have a Christmas party! I'll bring my band members! You bring your members who can't even play the basics properly, let's see who's better!"

“Don’t underestimate them just because they’re not good enough yet! Just you wait, at the Christmas party, I’ll give you a fantastic performance that will make you admit defeat.” Helica patted her chest confidently.

"Stop talking big. What if you lose?"

"If I lose... I can't possibly lose! I'll do whatever you want me to do!"

"I don't need you to do anything, just apologize to me in front of the entire school!"

"Okay, but what if you lose?"

"Me too! I apologize to you in front of everyone."

"Okay, it's a deal."

"A word is settled!"

Okay, great, the two of them have made a deal.

It seems their dispute has been temporarily resolved; who wins and who loses is their own business.

No, wait a minute, what did Helica just say?

Yuuki Yukina finally realized what was happening.

A Christmas party? A band performance?

Isn't this completely dragging myself into it?

Chapter Thirty-Four: How Did a Makeshift Team Meet a Galactic Battleship?

I'm so sorry!

Just like on the first day when she asked everyone to join the band, Helica bowed deeply to everyone in front of the small blackboard with many words written on it.

It's a scene that seems familiar.

"It was all because I acted too impulsively that I dragged everyone into this! I'm truly sorry!"

If you knew you were going to be so impulsive, you shouldn't have argued with Sakuragawa Nana!

At the Christmas party, Tenrai Herika not only has to perform on stage, but also compete against Sakuragawa Nana's band. The way to determine the winner is by the students' votes.
