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

"Speaking of which! We haven't asked you yet, do you have time tomorrow?" Helica changed the subject.

Yuuki Yui thought for a moment: "It should be considered nothing, right? Tomorrow isn't a day off, I have to go to school, and I still have to work after school..."

"Ah, I'll give you a day off tomorrow, and your salary will be the same, but you have to tell me about your experience when you get back," Minato Nana interjected.

Yuuki Yukina could tell from Minato Nana's expression that she was definitely up to no good!

Who knows what these people are planning to do tomorrow, or what they said to Minato Nana.

Anyway, Yuuki Yukino's internal alarm clock had started ringing wildly. She had a very strong sense of foreboding, as if it was about to come true in the next second.

Baqi was still urging him on, but her relaxed demeanor suggested she knew exactly how Yuuki Yukino would respond.

"After school, you have to work. And after that, what else is there to do?"

"After working part-time," Yuuki Yui stammered for a while, then finally told the truth with no other choice, "I'll go home."

"Oh!"

The three girls simultaneously burst into a chorus of understanding, some louder and some softer.

The three looked at each other. Yuuki Yukino had no idea what they were looking at, but it was obvious without even looking that Nishio Reki had been chosen as the representative.

"Ahem." Nishio Reki cleared his throat. "Can we go on a date tomorrow?"

“Huh? Oh…” Yuuki Yu was taken aback for a moment, but the question was not unexpected: “It is possible, I have no problem with it.”

Immediately afterwards, Yuuki Yukina discovered a blind spot in Nishio Reki's words; the other party hadn't hidden it, but she herself hadn't noticed it either.

"Wait, 'you'?" Yuuki Yuki's eyelids twitched wildly, hoping it was a slip of the tongue by Nishio Reki.

But based on the current context, I think I didn't mishear.

“That’s right, us!” Helica couldn’t help but chime in, “Tomorrow! You’re going on a date with all of us! Is that okay?”

Yuuki Yukino's lips twitched uncontrollably as she uttered a question that drew the attention of everyone in the coffee shop.

"what???"

……

That night, at Moonsea Park.

The girl sat nervously on a park bench, glancing around every now and then, searching for any unusual figure in the darkness.

She had lost count of how many times she had done this tonight, and as always, she had come up empty-handed.

On late winter nights, very few people come to the park; it seems that only passersby occasionally walk through the park and a few staff members doing some kind of work in the park will pass by.

Unfortunately, because she found nothing, none of these were the people she was looking for.

"Could I have been scammed? At this time and in this place? Would someone really give me the power to grant my wishes?"

The girl frowned, restlessly turned on her phone screen, and tapped the familiar interface once again with her slightly sore fingertips.

She had done this action many times before.

"No, that shouldn't be the case."

The girl shook her head vigorously, determined to stick to her decision.

“I’ve already seen the other world in that forum. I am the one being watched by the Witch, the one chosen by the Witch. I shouldn’t doubt the Witch, I shouldn’t. As long as I firmly believe that the Witch can grant my wish, then the Witch will respond to me! She has already done so, she has already responded to me!”

But it was still very cold this season, and the girl couldn't help but hunch her shoulders.

"But what if? What if the witch is an imposter, and someone is playing a trick on me..."

What are you talking about?

There was a voice behind the girl, which startled her so much that she almost jumped out of her seat.

"Eek!" the girl screamed, standing up from the chair herself, staring wide-eyed at the person who had appeared behind her like a ghost.

It was also a woman, not very old, wearing a black hoodie. A few strands of light yellow hair could be seen falling on her cheeks from under the hood, but it was too dark and she was looking down, so the girl couldn't see her face clearly.

It's not unusual to dress like this in this season, but the girl felt that the other person probably wasn't the one she was looking for.

The witch is mysterious and inviolable; she would never appear before me in such an appearance.

"Did I scare you?" the girl muttered, turning to leave.

"Oh? Are you leaving already?" the hooded woman asked in surprise. "Aren't you going to take your things?"

The girl turned back, still somewhat doubtful.

My own things? Only the blessings bestowed by the witch can be considered somewhat related.

But seeing the other person's appearance, the girl simply couldn't connect them with that witch.

I've really been tricked! I even believed in all that mystical stuff—the forums, the beliefs—it was all fake! Someone must have played a prank! Yes! A prank targeting me! Absolutely!

She didn't want to stay a second longer and turned to leave.

"Ikeda Satoshi, if you don't need it, I'll go back."

Another call sent a chill down the spine of the girl known as Ikeda Satoshi.

"How do you know my name? You...you stole my information?! Open my box!"

Ikeda Satoshi took a few quick steps and grabbed the hooded woman by the collar.

Although she wanted to lift the other woman up, her strength clearly wouldn't allow her to do so, but even so, she managed to pull the hooded woman up onto her tiptoes.

“Master knows everything.”

"I don't care about this official or that official, what exactly do you want? Do you want money? Or are you messing with me? Or are you playing some kind of trick?!" Ikeda Satoshi was agitated.

"I don't want anything. My master only entrusted me to give this to you." The hooded woman took her hand out of her pocket, and something as thin as a piece of paper was held between her two fingers.

Ikeda Satoshi took the piece of paper with some skepticism—it really was just a piece of paper, but made of a material that wasn't ordinary paper.

Ikeda Satoshi examined the piece of paper carefully, even using her phone's flashlight to illuminate it. She initially thought it contained a bank account number or a threatening letter, but it wasn't.

The hand held a piece of paper with strange patterns drawn on it, like a child's doodles, but also like some kind of magical mark.

Although it seemed unremarkable at first glance, the sudden appearance of the hooded woman and the mysterious magic paper made her think of another possibility.

Satoshi Ikeda's hands began to tremble.

I was just judging people by their appearance. This is modern society, not some magical medieval world with knights and dragons. Even witches live in the present.

I've taken it upon myself to believe that all witches wear pointed hats and black cloaks, and that I'm the one with the problem!

Haven't I already offended the witch's servant?!

"Is it... Lady Witch?"

Ikeda Satoshi asked in a trembling voice.

"Hmm?" The hooded woman tilted her head, her light yellow eyes sparkling with starlight and doubt.

Then, the hooded woman nodded again: "That's right, it's the Witch. The title 'Master' doesn't matter, but you can call her that."

"Then...then..." Ikeda Tomo held the small piece of paper in his hand, not knowing what to do for a moment. It was as if the piece of paper was a hot potato. Throwing it away would be wrong, but holding it in his hand felt inappropriate.

"My master only instructed me to give it to you. You will understand how to use it and the price you will have to pay when you get back," the hooded woman said calmly. "My master also said that if you don't understand anything after you get back, it means you are not destined for magic."

"Also, don't post anything online before you succeed, especially things your master gave you. Although your master said that even if you wanted to, you couldn't do it, it's still better to remind you."

Ikeda Satoshi nodded repeatedly, wishing he could use his phone's recording function to memorize every word the other person said.

No, use the recording function to prove that magic exists!

But she dared not. She had already offended the witch's attendant, and if the witch were to punish her, she would be completely doomed.

"Did you understand?" the hooded woman asked repeatedly.

"Got it! Got it! No problem at all!" Ikeda Tomo nodded repeatedly.

"My work is done, goodbye."

The hooded woman didn't linger for a moment, walking past Ikeda Satoshi and heading into the darkness.

As Ikeda Tomo watched the hooded woman's retreating figure, his heart pounded wildly.

When she saw the hooded woman's body flicker like a flame and then disappear without a trace as if it had been extinguished, her heart, which was pounding violently in her chest, almost stopped.

It's true! Absolutely true! I saw it with my own eyes! The witch's servants! And the witch's magic that could make her suddenly disappear!

In this way, Suzuki Haruka, the girl he loves, will surely be able to hold him in his arms.

Ikeda Tomo raised the piece of paper with magical patterns high into the moonlight.

She felt as if she held the future in her hands.

I only updated for a period of time at the beginning of the month because I was sick.

Recently, each chapter has started at least at the medium level, and I've been updating twice a day, which has made a significant difference.

But for some reason, the number of subscriptions in the last few days is even less than when there were only one update or even when there was no update. My mentality has been completely broken.

If anyone is watching, could you let me know?

What's wrong with the recent plot? Where is it poorly written? Can you let Wanwan know too?

Only by knowing where the problem lies can you strive to correct it...

Chapter 145 The Date Begins!

"Okay, let's confirm the rules of our date challenge with Xiaoyuan one last time. If there are no objections, we'll begin when it's over."

Baqi leaned against the wall in the Rainbow Club activity room, arms crossed, talking to three people, including Yuuki Yukino and her two rivals.

This is the spot where Suzuki Haruka and another person whose name I don't know argued a while ago. It's really not easy to find such a quiet spot on campus.

This kind of dating topic is definitely not something you can discuss in Nijisanji. It's fine for everyone to like Yuuki Kaname and compete with each other, but bringing that competition into Nijisanji openly seems a bit detrimental to the unity of Nijisanji.

Don't do anything that's detrimental to unity!

"So what do you mean by 'it starts when it's over'?" Helica couldn't help but turn into a sarcastic remark, and Nishio Reki nodded in agreement.

"It was a slip of the tongue! A slip of the tongue!" Ba Qi's face froze for a moment, then she recovered as if nothing had happened, waving her hands repeatedly: "If there are no problems, let's begin."

First of all, this date operation is based on the premise that Yuuki Yuuki is completely free and willing. If Yuuki Yuuki does not want to spend time with someone and refuses the invitation, the date operation cannot be established.

However, Yuuki Yuki had no reason to refuse. Everyone was my favorite foodie, so it was actually quite nice not to worry about who to say yes to, who to refuse, or how to arrange the date on this special day.

Otherwise, it would definitely develop into a situation like the three-way raid on Christmas Eve, and Yuuki Yuki didn't want to eat any more of those horrible chocolate-covered liquors, nor did she want to nervously stuff two girls into her closet.
