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

Hong Moli shook her head repeatedly: "They are not the same as us. Sheng Shiyin is the type who would betray anyone. If we choose to believe her, we may have to pay a heavy price. I don't want anyone to take that risk."

“If that kind of thing really happens,” Helica patted her chest, “then I’ll be the first to take care of both of them.”

“This isn’t just talk.” Hong Moli shook her head again.

“Of course I’m not just saying it; I’m serious,” Helica replied stubbornly.

"Actually... I disagree too. Those two are far too dangerous. If they are left unattended for even a moment, it could lead to very serious consequences." Sakura Hanako stopped the infighting before it even started and then expressed her opinion.

"It is precisely because they are dangerous that we should keep them within our sight at all times. This way, we can keep track of their movements and prevent them from doing anything under our noses. Otherwise, if we let them leave, no one can guarantee that they will remain inactive."

As Mizuno Yu said this, she asked Seishin, who was still huddled under the blanket.

"Will you give up your plan to stop Mashiro Gakuen because of this failure?"

Saint Shiyin was surprised that the other party would directly name her, and then shook her head to indicate her denial.

“See, that’s the result. The point isn’t whether we should accept them, but how we can maintain the stability of Moonsea City as much as possible.” Mizuno Yu spread her hands and looked around to solicit other people’s opinions.

Previously, everyone was still debating whether they should take in these two homeless people with nowhere to go. Mizuno Yu's statement has indeed given everyone a completely new perspective. The focus now is not on whether to take them in because of personal feelings, but on how to do the best from the perspective of maintaining stability.

As long as Mizuno Yu doesn't lose her mind, her opinion is still worth considering.

After some thought, the other people's ideas gradually began to converge with Mizuno Yu's statement.

The discussion didn't last long and ended with Mizuno Yu's suggestion being adopted.

Saint Shion and Kuroba Rise were left in the Dreamland, where magical girls in pairs visited them every day, ostensibly to bring them necessities.

As for what happens next, we'll just have to take it one step at a time.

Now, Christmas is officially over.

The day that followed was the day the results were announced. There was a study session for everyone, and everyone passed the exam smoothly.

Of course, Nana Sakuragawa is an exception, according to her classmate Hanako Sakura.

Speaking of Sakuragawa Nana, she didn't have any special contact with others after that, but she did come to school every day as usual, and would awkwardly greet them when they met.

Although there were conflicts, no one had any deep-seated hatred towards Sakuragawa Nana, so it was fine to continue like this, since their conflict had been resolved.

As for Sakuragawa Aika's side, Yuuki Yukino heard from her sister that everyone had made up after the misunderstanding was cleared up, which was good news.

Time passed day by day, and nothing particularly noteworthy happened after the unexpected incident on Christmas Eve.

At Ling's invitation, they tried performing at that live house again, but the result was a complete mess, incomparable to other bands. However, the audience was very enthusiastic and cheered for the girls who were performing on stage for the first time.

The four corrupted magical girls went out to play alone for a day, allowing Yuuki Yuuki to enjoy a long-awaited relaxation after her exhaustion.

The next highlight is probably the annual New Year's worship ceremony, but this year the number of people is exceptionally large.

Before that, everyone went to buy new kimonos to wear for the New Year. Since Yuuki Yuuki's identity as a fallen magical girl had already been exposed, she didn't need to hide it from everyone when trying on clothes, so it was quite a good experience.

These were arguably the happiest few days of Yuuki Yuuki's life so far.

But is that really a good thing?

One night, Yuuki Yukina had this dream.

In that dream, everything was burning beneath my feet, and the entire city had been reduced to an endless expanse of scorched earth.

The torrential rain extinguished the raging flames and also extinguished one of the few remaining signs of life in the world.

In the puddle at Yuuki Enishi's feet, the pink-haired girl reflected in the water asked herself this question.

Is this really a good solution?

I'm very sorry about the single update, but I'm just feeling really unwell!

Chapter 124 What to Eat Tonight

Yuuki Yukina hadn't woken up from a nightmare like this in a long time.

Even after she woke up, the image of herself reflected in the puddle under the rain still lingered in her mind.

Along with that shadow echoed her own questioning voice.

Is that all?

Yuuki Yuuki rubbed her aching temples to relieve the pain in her brain, which had been groggy from sleeping all night in the warm blankets. She tied her pink hair in a knot at the back of her head with the Yuuki God and combed it into a simple ponytail. Then, yawning, she stepped barefoot onto the cold floor.

Such mornings have become a daily routine for her, and the sense of helplessness after losing a large part of her memory is no longer possible.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face in a daze, combed my hair, then heated up the rice balls I had prepared in advance in the microwave, and then took the rice balls and a carton of milk back to my bed.

While watching videos like "Immersive Christmas Tree Cake Making" and "How a Kitten Meows," Yuuki Yuen finished her breakfast.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the handheld game console on the bedside table, unplugged the charging cable connected to the console, and then two legs grew out, climbing onto Yuuki Yuki's shoulder on both hands and feet.

Yuuki Yukino was used to this kind of scene that made people lose their minds. After stroking her handheld console like she was petting an electronic pet, she continued watching short videos on her phone that were meaningless but entertaining.

"Rewind it! I want to watch it again!"

The childish version of Sumireko Yumehara tapped Yuuki Yuuki's face a few times with her little fists that extended from the game console, forcing Yuuki Yuuki to replay the video she had already watched once, until Sumireko Yumehara said with satisfaction that Yuuki Yuuki was a really good person before she stopped.

Getting along with Sumireko Yumehara is much easier than Yuuki Yuki had expected. She can charge herself up, and she's happy when you buy her games. She can even play games by herself without Yuuki Yuki having to coax her. Now, Sumireko Yumehara is calling Yuuki Yuki a great person every day.

In this way, even if Yuuki Yuki sometimes tries to chat with Sumireko Yumehara in her entirety, Sumireko will not hesitate to activate her divine release. This fallen magical girl, whom Yuuki Yuki once thought was the most troublesome, is now the most worry-free.

Although the person who makes her feel the least worried is actually Kurenai, Kurenai and Mizuno are the two people that Yuuki Yuuki trusts the most. In comparison, besides herself, Kurenai is the person Yuuki Yuuki trusts the most.

　 (That's right, both Baki and Helica are troublesome people, although the areas of concern are different.)

Baqi is always thinking about how to get herself into bed, but she's been able to tone it down a bit after Yumehara Sumireko came along as a third wheel; while Helica simply has personality flaws, and even though she's showing signs of improvement, it's still a long and arduous process.

After watching a lot of boring short videos with Koyuki, Yuuki finally reluctantly got out of bed.

Speaking of which, today is the last day of the year.

Looking back on the past year, quite a lot has happened.

So what should I do on the last day of the year?

No, it's the last half day of the year, and it's already past 1 p.m.

Should we invite everyone to come and have a get-together? Or should I stay snuggled in bed and sleep forever? Or should I go out for a stroll and see what's going on?

Yuuki opened her phone's social media interface, and a barrage of messages immediately flooded her screen, catching her somewhat off guard.

There is one by Inuyama Tomoe.

"Xiaoyuan, are you busy today? Do you want to celebrate New Year's Eve together? I don't have any plans today."

There's also Xiao Li's.

"Xiaoyuan, I'm free tonight, can we celebrate the New Year together?"

Herlica's.

"Yuan, are you busy today?"

"I have no plans for today."

"I didn't mean anything by it."

"If you want to invite me to New Year's Eve, I can say yes."

There's also news that my older sister's style is a bit different.

"I don't have anything to do today, but I'm planning to go out for drinks with the manager tonight, so I won't be back all night. The whole house is yours now, so you can do whatever you want without worry, but don't go too far."

There was nothing wrong with her sister going out for drinks. After all, she had her sister with her every New Year's Eve before high school, so Yuuki Yukino wasn't too concerned about the last one or two times. Moreover, her sister didn't need to protect her all the time and had started to have her own life, which made Yuuki Yukino very happy.

But her sister specifically reminded her that she wouldn't be back all night, which made it seem like she was about to do something naughty at home.

What did she mean by "don't go too far"? How can an older sister talk to her younger sister like that! What does she think she is?!

Although if any one of the three people above were alone, it would indeed turn out this way. Yuuki Yukino still vividly remembers the scene where she and Helica were caught by her sister in the middle of being intimate.

Oh right, by the way, the store manager mentioned in my sister's message is undoubtedly Nana Minato.

Speaking of Minato Nana, she hasn't missed any of Yuuki Yukina's part-time jobs these past few days, but at the beginning of the new year, Minato Nana's very easygoing personality led her to take a few days off.

Therefore, Yuuki Yuuki is completely free for the next three days starting tonight.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yuuki Yuki decided that she would either choose none of them or take them all.

It would be too lonely not to choose any. If it were just me and Xiaojinzi spending New Year's Eve, one of us would be in a handheld console and the other playing on our phones. We would send our blessings to everyone at the moment of the successful New Year's Eve and then go about our own business.

Since so much has already happened this year, it would be better to make it a bit more lively.

So Yuuki Yukino edited the message and sent it to the other three.

"Why don't you come to my house to celebrate the New Year together? I'm also planning to invite Tenrai Herika/Inuyama Tomoe/Nishio Reki and the others."

Everyone is a favorite of mine, so it's impossible to choose just one!

Not long after Yuuki Yukino sent the message, all three of them replied one after another.

"Okay, Xiaoyuan, I'll be there as soon as possible."

"No problem, no problem at all. Xiaoyuan, do you want to invite anyone else? Should I ask Hong and Baigui?"

"Okay, can we invite Mizuno Yu and Sakura Hanako? Hayashi is next to you, you can ask her too? It's more lively with more people, but if you mind, then forget it."

After some replies and discussions, it turned into Yuuki Yuuki's familiar magical girl group celebrating the New Year at her own home.

That's right, it's everyone. Sakura Hanako's mother had to work overtime at the hospital, and she had originally planned to spend the time with her mother at the hospital if it weren't for Yuki Enishi's invitation.

Everyone knows about Mizuno Yu's family situation; she was originally spending New Year's Eve alone.

After discussing it for a while, Koumori and Hyakki Senyu solemnly asked if the previous conflict would really not affect the atmosphere. After receiving an affirmative answer, they went along with Yuuki Yuuki's idea.

As for Lin Jiezi, she lived next door, so there wasn't much difference between living at Yuuki Emi's house and living at her own.

A larger crowd certainly makes it more lively, but you also have to bear the price of that liveliness.

It's already afternoon, and it might be a bit late for Yuuki Yui to start preparing food for the New Year's Eve celebration.

There are nine people coming, so even if each person only eats one dish, we still need to prepare nine different dishes.

In Yuuki Yuuki's past memories, the New Year's Eve dinner was something that required working from morning till night, and sometimes even several days in advance. Now, time is indeed too tight, and even with the power of a magical girl, it's not enough.

Thus, Yuuki En encountered the biggest problem in history—what to eat for dinner.

This couldn't be a problem for Yuuki Yukino alone, so she made a decision to leave the problem to everyone to decide.

"What to eat tonight? What to eat tonight? What to eat tonight?!"
