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

"Come outside with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Chapter 110 Ungrateful!

"Come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Sakura Nana walked straight into the band's dressing room with a cold face, standing in front of Inuyama Tomoe as if she didn't know what manners were, and pointed her finger directly at Inuyama Tomoe.

"I?"

Baqi pointed at herself with great confusion and asked in return.

Baqi is just a bit cheerful, but she is still a young lady and an excellent student. Even when she argues with Helica Tenrai or even fights with her, it's because of personal grudges.

This is the first time I've ever been treated like this.

When someone pointed at her so directly, Baqi's first reaction was not anger at being offended, but rather she found this novel experience slightly amusing.

So what stupid thing is this silly kid doing now?

Although it's unlikely, surely she wouldn't have forgotten who she was supposed to be targeting?

"Are you sure you haven't got the wrong person?" Thinking of this possibility, Baqi's voice was filled with barely suppressed laughter.

“That’s right, the person I’m looking for is you.” Sakura Nana’s expression was serious, as if she was determined to fight Baqi to the death.

Sakura Nana's outburst only fueled the curiosity of the others.

The connection between Sakuragawa Nana and Inuyama Tomoe is extremely limited. Apart from the fact that they both attend Tsukimi Middle School, are both girls, both participate in a band, and are both magical girls, there's not much else that makes sense.

Could it be that Nana Sakuragawa is trying to poach the violinist from this band?

Or perhaps she's planning to ask Baqi for advice, but is too embarrassed to say it directly?

Of course, given Baqi's personality, she prefers to ask directly rather than overthink.

Inuyama Tomoe stood up from her chair and stretched languidly: "What do you need me for?"

For some reason, when Nana Sakura saw Baqi get up, she took a half step back, a fleeting look of fear flashing across her face.

Sakuragawa Nana quickly regained her composure, then took another half step forward to make up for the distance she had retreated, seemingly trying to show that she wasn't afraid of Inuyama Tomoe.

Because Sakuragawa Nana's reaction was so obvious, the girls were able to see through each other's intentions.

Meanwhile, Sakuragawa Nana was unilaterally confronting Inuyama Baki, her tone becoming increasingly serious.

"I came alone. Let's talk privately."

Sakuragawa Nana's unusual behavior made Inuyama Tomoe frown, and without holding back, she directly retorted, "Why are you talking so incoherently?"

"Stop playing dumb! You don't want your friends to be sad, do you? No! If only you truly considered them your friends! I know you're the kind of person who only thinks about yourself!"

Ba Qi waved her hand as if shooing away small flying insects, her face full of disgust and impatience: "What nonsense is this? Go away, go away. If you want to play a guessing game, find someone else. Yes, find that short, blond guy. I don't have time to play games with you."

Given how rude someone is and what nonsensical riddles they're spouting, Baqi's reaction was already quite polite. Even if she had simply ignored Sakuragawa Nana or kicked him out, there wouldn't have been any real problem.

"Anyway, you're coming with me! Alone!" Sakuragawa Nana pressed on relentlessly.

Baqi sighed helplessly, neither agreeing nor rejecting Sakuragawa Nana's request directly, but instead seeking the opinions of others: "What do you think?"

“At least I don’t understand what she’s trying to do at all, she’s so mysterious.” Helica shrugged. “Anyway, do whatever you want. I’m not going to give you any advice on this. If it were me, I wouldn’t be afraid of her.”

“I don’t have any other thoughts either. She called you, and I don’t think I have the right to make this decision for you.” Nishio Reki also expressed his opinion, and Sakura Hanako next to him nodded repeatedly.

Mizuno Yu and Hayashi Mustard didn't express any opinion, but they both agreed with Nishio Reki's statement.

Finally, Baqi turned her gaze to Yuuki Yuuki, whose opinion was most important: "Yuuki, what do you think?"

“I’m a little worried,” Yuuki Yui replied after a moment’s thought.

“Yuki-neechan! You don’t need to worry about someone like that! You haven’t seen her true colors yet! She’s not worth your worry at all!” Sakuragawa Nana immediately interjected.

No, Yuuki Yui wasn't worried about Inuyama Tomoe, but rather about the arrogant Sakuragawa Nana.

Sakuragawa Nana is targeting Inuyama Tomoe so much, but she wants to call Tomoe out for a one-on-one fight, and she's being vague about her own intentions. Her meaning is very clear.

Even if Yuuki Yukino were a little slow to react, she would know what Sakuragawa Nana was trying to do.

Although it's unclear how Sakuragawa Nana discovered Baqi's identity, she must already know that Baqi is a corrupted magical girl.

It's highly likely that Baqi distracted the audience by setting off fireworks on stage, and then revealed herself while using the spirit of marriage to fix Helica's guitar.

Sakura Nana insisted on dragging Baqi out, saying things like she was alone and wanted Baqi to be alone too, which clearly meant she wanted to fight Baqi one-on-one.

Inuyama Tomoe has quite a temper. Although she is usually quite obedient, that is only when she is around and no one is fighting with her.

Yes, not only does she need no one to provoke her about being a magical girl, but she also needs to be by Bachi's side to keep her in check.

Ultimately, Inuyama Tomoe is still a fallen magical girl. If Sakuragawa Nana says or does something she shouldn't, and upsets Tomoe, even if Tomoe isn't as irritable as Helica, she can still be terrifying when she gets angry.

"What do you mean it's unnecessary? Am I that kind of person? Huh? Explain yourself! So what if Xiaoyuan is worried about me?! I'm so happy that Xiaoyuan is worried about me!" Baqi glared, expressing strong dissatisfaction with Sakuragawa Nana's words.

Look, Baqi is already angry.

Although Yuuki Yui really wasn't worried about Baqi at all, even if she was worried, it was only that she might accidentally hit Sakuragawa Nana too hard and make her depressed.

Aside from Lampa and Mashiro, Yuuki En can't think of anyone else who could guarantee a victory over Tomoe on the front lines.

By the way, Sakuragawa Nana has been driven to despair by Yuuki Yuuki, but she herself is unaware of it.

"Alright, Baqi, just be careful." Yuuki Yuen tugged at Baqi's sleeve.

"What am I supposed to pay attention to?" Baqi said sternly on the spur of the moment, then suddenly realized something and looked at Yuuki Yuki with pleading eyes like a puppy that had done something wrong, without saying a word.

Yuuki Yukino didn't want to be too explicit in front of Sakuragawa Nana, and there were some things between her and Baqi that didn't need to be said so clearly to be understood.

"Okay, I understand." Baqi nodded slowly, then left the room with Sakuragawa Nana.

……

Although Yuuki Yukina's reasoning process had a slight error—Sakuragawa Nana actually glimpsed Tomoe's black magic mark by accident—Yuuki Yukina's other guesses were basically correct.

Sakuragawa Nana intended to eliminate this corrupted magical girl mixed in with the crowd cleanly and efficiently, which is why she needed to deal with her alone.

Sakura Nana's idea was simple: how could she get the other person to be alone? She would just ask them out directly.

If I can't beat the pink demon, surely I can beat a corrupted magical girl I meet on the road?

The open space outside Yuehai Middle School.

Sakuragawa Nana stood with her hands on her hips, speaking aggressively to Inuyama Tomoe.

"Hmph, I saw through your true colors long ago. You were lurking in the crowd, pretending to be very familiar with Yuuki-nee. In my opinion, you were just..."

"Stop, halt!" Ba Qi raised a finger and placed it on her horizontal palm, making a stop gesture: "Stop talking so much nonsense, I have to go back and spend Christmas with Xiao Yuan. If you want to fight, just do it."

"You admit it?" Sakura Nana was taken aback at first; she never expected that Baqi would directly admit to her identity.

“What’s there to deny?” Ba Qi raised an eyebrow.

Sakuragawa Nana's eyes sharpened as she slowly lowered her center of gravity, lunging towards Inuyama Tomoe, ready for the impending battle.

Magic began to gather on Sakuragawa Nana first. The girl held the huge lance in her arms, and the cold-colored tip of the lance, reflecting the moonlight, was aimed at Inuyama Tomoe, who was standing in front of her in an ordinary manner.

Inuyama Tomoe raised her hand, but no magic wand appeared out of thin air. She didn't even transform; she simply beckoned her index finger to Sakuragawa Nana.

This is a provocation, a blatant provocation.

Sakura Nana felt a surge of anger rising within her. She took several deep breaths, reminding herself not to fall for the other party's tricks so easily.

But if I don't make a move, it seems like the other party doesn't intend to either.

Be careful and cautious, but also strike first.

Sakuragawa Nana snorted coldly, then suddenly made a move, charging towards Inuyama Tomoe's body while holding a lance.

"Hmph! How dare you underestimate me! Just wait and see..."

Before Sakuragawa Nana could finish speaking, a dense array of chains awaited her on her inevitable path. By the time Sakuragawa Nana tried to change direction again, it was too late.

In an instant, the intertwined chains bound Sakuragawa Nana tightly, and the lance in her hand was like a stake, firmly attached to her, making Sakuragawa Nana unable to move.

Before Sakuragawa Nana could even process what was happening, the cold muzzle of a matchlock gun was already pressed against her forehead.

Sakuragawa Nana also belatedly made a basic judgment about the current situation.

Is this a restraint trap?!

When was it set up?

What's even more crucial is, when did that woman transform?

"Alright, have you had enough? If you're done, I'm going back to find Xiaoyuan!" Baqi still had that indifferent expression as she moved the matchlock gun away from her hand, her finger hovering over the trigger, making the matchlock gun spin several times.

Those scarlet vertical pupils, colder than the muzzle of a gun and like those of a wild beast, sent a chill down Sakuragawa Nana's spine.

That icy gaze was like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing the last spark of resistance that had risen in Sakuragawa Nana's heart.

Such intense pressure, such incredible speed, such terrifying magic! If the other party gets serious, I really will die!

Moreover, this magical girl... I remember this magical girl!

Isn't she... isn't she the one who appeared with the Pink Demon and whose strength is in no way inferior to the Pink Demon?

Why do I always manage to precisely provoke people I shouldn't be bothering at all?

Resistance and submission—these conflicting emotions tormented Sakuragawa Nana's thoughts. The power within her told her that corrupted magical girls were beings that should be eliminated.

But my reason tells me that I should never mess with people I shouldn't mess with.

Sweat dripped from Sakura Nana's nose and seeped into the snow beneath her.

Sakuragawa Nana couldn't see clearly what Inuyama Hatsuki was doing, but the vibrations and footsteps coming from the ground reminded her that Inuyama Hatsuki was getting closer and closer to her.

Just like last time, I was arrogant and went to challenge them, and I was defeated by them without any ability to resist.

Last time, when faced with the pink demon, there was that unknown senior who came to the rescue, but this time, they might not be so lucky.

Sakuragawa Nana closed her eyes, not daring to look, and even less daring to think about what might happen to her next.

The footsteps grew closer and then faded into the distance.

Sakura Nana felt a lightness on her body, and the chains that had been binding her suddenly disappeared.

Only that corrupted magical girl herself could do something so quietly.

The other party... let me go?

why?
