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

If Baqi hadn't been so mysterious, I might have just written it down on my own.

No, that's not right. I'm not that stupid.

But! Baqi really thought she was that stupid!

Just thinking about it made Yuuki Yuki's forehead veins bulge, and he wished he could throw Baqi out of the shop window.

Give me back my romance, give me back my emotions, give me back the intense heartbeat I felt when Ba Qi confessed to me in such an unconventional way!

Seeing that Baqi remained silent, Yuuki Yukino couldn't bear it any longer and knocked again, her kind smile now extremely tight.

Baqi knew she had nowhere to hide, so she turned her head away, fiddling with her fingers and muttering to herself.

"Yes, a marriage application form..."

Secondly, Wanwan started experiencing tinnitus last night. No matter what she was doing, it kept ringing in her ears, like a heartbeat, which seriously affected her sleep and daily life. Wanwan decided to go to the hospital to get it checked out.

By the way, it's almost Chinese New Year! Subscriptions are incredibly low! So I'm shamelessly begging for monthly tickets and tips! Otherwise, I'll starve!

Chapter 148 The date was anything but peaceful!

"Did you hear what they said? Why are they suddenly so close? Isn't the atmosphere a bit strange? Is that white-haired idiot trying to steal my food?"

When Reherika noticed some strange noises coming from the seat belonging to Yuuki Yuuki not far away that day, she couldn't suppress her curiosity. However, due to her height and position, she couldn't see or hear clearly, so she could only grab the back of the sofa like a kitten.

Unable to figure out the situation on her own, Helica could only repeatedly poke at Nishio Reki, who was sitting next to her and secretly watching, while urging Nishio Reki to share what she had seen.

In particular, Nishio Reki's expression was unusually interesting, which made Tenrai Helica even more curious about what had happened not far away, and of course, her anxiety also increased exponentially.

Helica couldn't resist poking Nishio Reki several more times. Nishio Reki, impatient, waved his hand and chased Helica away.

Shh, keep your voice down, I can't hear you.

Herlica's hearing wasn't very good, and she wasn't as tall as Nishio Reki. Her position was also poor, making it difficult for her to see Yuuki Yuki clearly without being discovered. So she reluctantly followed Nishio Reki's arrangement and continued to hide behind the chair.

"It seems like they're saying something..." Nishio Reki said slowly, focusing most of his attention on the conversation at Yuuki Yuuki's table: "Let Yuuki sign... the marriage application form."

"what?!"

Helica was so shocked that she forgot to suppress her voice and screamed out loud.

Nishio Reki quickly sat down and covered Helica's mouth with his hand, making a shushing gesture in front of his own lips.

After shouting, Helica realized that her reaction was a bit too much. She nodded knowingly and then forcibly removed the hand that Nishio Reki had been covering her face.

Even though Helica had lowered her voice, she was still extremely hesitant: "Marriage application? You mean that...that..."

“Yes, it’s that marriage application form.” Nishio Reki didn’t show his emotions on his face like Helika did, but the grinding of his teeth made no attempt to hide them.

Herlica clenched her little fists, glaring angrily at the back of the chair, as if she could use her gaze to deliver a headshot to Inuyama Tomoe through the chair back.

"That despicable thieving keycap! No, I mean the construction keycap! Thank goodness we secretly followed her, otherwise she might have succeeded!"

“I agree.” Nishio Reki cracked his knuckles, and although he didn’t show the same strong emotional fluctuations as Helica, a malicious smirk still crept onto his face.

"We need to find a way to properly punish this guy who broke our contract!"

"However, it seems that there was no clause in our previous agreement prohibiting marriage proposals, right? Although this seems to be a case of marriage fraud, it is definitely unforgivable."

"Who cares! This guy needs to be taught a lesson! But then again, if we just attack directly, wouldn't we be acting without a legitimate reason? We can't use her being a corrupted magical girl as an excuse to punish her!"

"Yes, that's right, but we need to find a charge against her."

The two were engrossed in their conversation, completely unaware that someone had approached them.

Suddenly, a hand reached behind their heads and grabbed their sunglasses, removing them from their noses in a split second before either of them noticed.

"We're not suspicious! Give me back my sunglasses!"

Helica, afraid of alerting Yuuki Yoji, called out softly and reached out to grab the sunglasses, but as soon as her hand was outstretched, she pulled it back as if she had been electrocuted.

Without her needing to alert anyone, Yuuki Yuki was already standing right in front of her, smiling and holding a pair of sunglasses in each hand as she looked at the two girls who seemed guilty.

"What kind of crime are you planning to charge Ba Qi with? Can I help you think of one?"

While sitting in the shop drinking coffee, Helica and Reki couldn't keep wearing masks like suspicious people. Helica's mask had long been taken off and put aside, while Reki's was stuck under his chin.

Now that the sunglasses were removed, the girls' faces were completely exposed and could be clearly seen by Yuuki Yukino, who had a kind smile on her face.

“Uh… this…” Helica was speechless for a moment, her previous angry expression naturally falling on her.

Xiao Li, like a child who had made a mistake, waved her hands around her for a long time, not knowing where to put them: "Xiao Yuan, we're just... joking, that's right, we're just joking."

Yuuki hooked the temple of her sunglasses, twirled them on her fingers, and sent them flying. She then reached out and caught them, gently placing them on the table.

"Then shouldn't we talk about why the two of you are here in the first place?"

……

Yuuki Yui knew that these three clever little devils would never let themselves be idle.

Under her stern criticism, Inuyama Tomoe, who committed the crime of fraudulent marriage, and Nishio Reki, who committed the crime of stalking, and Tenrai Herika, have fully realized their mistakes.

Although Yuuki Yukari already knew that they were incorrigible in this matter, and given that she had another date coming up, she didn't want to say too much.

Finally, Yuuki sighed helplessly and tentatively asked for the opinions of the others.

"Fine, since you're both here, shall we continue?"

If he only goes on a date with Baqi, Helica will definitely protest, and even if Xiaoli doesn't say anything, she will probably feel disappointed. Yuuki Yuuki certainly won't let these little incidents affect the normal course of the event.

Even if these little incidents were caused by these clever little devils.

It just so happens... well, it's not exactly a coincidence, but since Helica was right there, it saved her the time of going to find Helica to meet up, so continuing was a very wise choice.

My date with Baqi was great in every way except for the marriage application at the end. It was really nice to experience a different dating style.

And so, Yuuki Yukino's nightmare began.

First of all, the dating method chosen by Tenrai Herika made Yuuki Yuuki a little bit of—doubt.

Herlica's unique romanticism was on full display when she and Yuuki Yuuki looked up at the starry sky together. Yuuki Yuuki also believed that this sensitive girl had the most delicate heart beneath her tough exterior.

But winter is not over yet, and it's just getting dark, so it's not really appropriate to look at the stars in this icy and snowy weather.

If Helica insists on doing so, Yuuki Yuuki will not only not refuse, but will also listen attentively to Helica's story about the starry sky.

But today, Helica showed another side of herself.

Helica's unique romance was on full display when she and Yuuki Yuuki looked up at the starry sky together, but winter had not yet left and it was just getting dark, so looking at the stars in this snowy landscape was indeed a bit inappropriate.

If Helica insisted on doing this, Yuuki Yuuki would not refuse, but today Helica showed another side of herself.

"Yuan, I've actually been preparing for this date for a long time. Let's begin according to my plan."

As Helica spoke, she softly called Yuuki Yuuki's name, awkwardly hooking her fingers around Yuuki Yuuki's, holding them together with a half-close, half-close gesture, as if worried that Yuuki Yuuki would slip away, or that someone would see the two of them on a date like this.

What Helica did was actually very simple: she and Yuuki Yuuki linked fingers and left their footprints in every memorable place in Tsukimi City.

To put it simply, it's like taking a walk.

But this raises a problem, and a very real one at that.

That's cold!

Both of them were wearing their Tsukimi Middle School uniforms today, but for the sake of their date, Yuuki Yuki wore almost nothing that would affect her image except for her uniform.

That's right, the things that affect one's image mainly refer to thermal pants. Yuuki Yuki, who used to love the cool breeze slipping under her skirt, now feels like her legs have turned into an ice pop.

But Helica continued walking and talking as if she hadn't noticed Yuuki Yuuki at all.

No, it wasn't that she seemed not to notice; she simply didn't notice that Yuuki Enishi's legs were trembling!

On one side is Helica, nervously reciting little-known stories of Moonsea City like a tour guide memorizing lines; on the other side is Yuuki Yukino, shivering from the cold as Helica slows her pace. This date proceeds in such an ordinary yet anything but ordinary way.

This was just one of Yuuki Yukino's problems; the other was the two other girls who were always following behind her, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden, but always close at hand.

As soon as Nishio Reki and Baqi stepped out of the coffee shop, they suddenly reached a consensus, and quite quickly at that.

Nishio Reki only said one sentence: "It's true that the two of us were secretly watching you to see if you had done anything wrong, but you're already under our surveillance. In order not to suffer any losses, do you want to come back and watch us with you?"

Then, Baqi clapped her hands and shouted, "That makes sense, let's go!" She and Nishio Reki formed a new criminal squad. Nishio Reki even found a spare hat and mask from somewhere and gave them to Baqi, who happily accepted Reki's criminal weaponry.

The two adopted a "I know I'm wrong, but I won't change" attitude, secretly following Yuuki Yuki and Tenrai Helica not far behind, constantly watching their movements.

Do you know Yuuki Yukino? Of course I do.

However, since we are currently on a date with Helica, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to drag them out now, as it would inevitably ruin the romantic atmosphere that Helica has worked so hard to create.

Even if you freeze to death, it's still part of the date atmosphere.

Ah, it's so cold!

Don't those two guys who are following me so enthusiastically feel the cold?!

Perhaps the masks and hats on their faces were keeping them warm?

The only thing that seemed to bring warmth to Yuuki Yuuki was Helica's fingers.

Helica really put in a lot of effort for this date and did her homework, which is evident from her thorough preparation.

Sometimes they would tell local anecdotes and legends, and sometimes they would mention the places where they had fought before. If it were the height of summer, it would definitely be an unforgettable night.

But effort is never the same as results, nor is it the same as being right. Helica's date today is a perfect example of that.

As the date was about to end, Herika covered Yuuki's frostbitten, red hands and asked how Yuuki was feeling. Yuuki's lips trembled, and she could barely speak.

But their date ended successfully nonetheless.

This far from perfect date was the last bit of peace that Yuuki Eri enjoyed that day.

Chapter 149 Cunning Schemes and Greedy Intentions

If Yuuki Yukino were to rate her date with Herrica, she would describe it as "simple yet beautiful."

Starting from the coffee shop, I walked through quiet, deserted alleys and past bustling crowds, experiencing the city's well-known and little-known aspects in the shortest distance and time.

Without Tenrai Helica, Yuuki Yuuki might not have been able to re-examine the city where she had lived for more than ten years from a different perspective, nor would she have witnessed another unknown side of Tenrai Helica.

Aside from the fact that Yuuki Yuuki is quite unpopular, it seems to have no other flaws.

Actually, there was another one: Inuyama Tomoe and Nishio Reki, who had always been following behind him. No one knew how long they planned to keep watching.

Even the two people who had been following Yuuki Yuki for over an hour couldn't help but get bored.

At first, the two were cautious, but as they continued to follow, they realized that they had been exposed to Yuuki Yukino's sight.

Yuuki Yui didn't go looking for the two of them, so they tacitly continued to follow her, keeping this unspoken understanding between them.
