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

Even hearing such words from Azusa Niijima and seeing her make such an expression is a unique experience.

Meeting someone you know isn't entirely a bad thing—of course, the good part is limited to Yuuki Yuki's mystery-solving part; making Niijima Azusa suffer is not Yuuki Yuki's idea.

"Alright, alright." Yuuki Yui clapped her hands, trying to ease the atmosphere a little, but the sound of clapping seemed to make Niijima Azusa shrink her shoulders even more in fear.

Yuuki Yukino ignored all that and went straight to the point: "President Niijima, can you please answer my question properly this time?"

Startled by Yuuki Yukino's outburst, Niijima Azusa's tone softened considerably, conveying a sense of helplessness and suppressed anger: "What..."

"Why would you do something like this?" Yuuki Yuuki tilted her head and asked again.

"This has nothing to do with you..."

Niijima Azusa probably wanted to repeat "This has nothing to do with you" again, but pointed at by the tentacles below and seeing the pink demon's knowing smile, she swallowed the words.

Then, Niijima Azusa began to speak again.

"Because I hate them, I hate everyone, I hate everyone who lives in this world and can still feel happy!"

"I hate myself, I hate my powerlessness, I hate the feeling of being unable to do anything, I hate that I can't catch up with the shadow in my heart, I hate... I hate this boring world!"

This woman is insane.

When Yuki Yuki heard these strange remarks from Niijima Azusa, she already felt a desire not to listen any further.

Pure negative energy and pure destructive desire are no different from destruction without reason.

Well, just as Yuuki Yuki thought, simply asking won't yield any useful information. Whether Mizuno Yuki asks the questions or Yuuki Yuki asks them herself, it's just a trial and error. Yuuki Yuki didn't have much hope for this method to begin with.

Let's get straight to the point.

As Yuuki Yuki thought to herself, she casually raised her hand. The tentacles that had been waiting on the ground rushed forward like hounds that had finally received their master's command, constantly approaching and enlarging into Niijima Azusa's pupils, which were clenched as if she had been betrayed.

Next, Yuuki Yukari's tentacles pierced into the groin of Niijima Azusa, penetrating the location of her black magic markings.

The moment Yuuki Yukino felt the response from the tentacles, she realized it.

Sumireko Yumehara's suggestion, by sheer chance, hit the mark.

Chapter 164 Let's Be Us

Nyarko's ability is to distort, modify, and even destroy established rules to a certain extent.

It sounds very powerful, but this ability is actually quite abstract to use.

For example, if Yuuki Yuki wanted to, she could make the Earth's gravity on her shopping bags less, so that she would have less energy when carrying a lot of things home.

However, because the ability to use the wand will continuously deepen the wand's corruption on Yuuki Eri, Yuuki Eri generally does not use it.

Yuuki Yui originally thought that using her abilities on the dark magic markings of these corrupted magical girls would be of no use, but she figured she might as well give it a try.

However, when Yuuki Eri's tentacles touched the black magic mark, she felt an extremely strong resistance, as if someone was wrestling with her, preventing the magic she was trying to inject from penetrating even a little bit.

Click, click.

Several cracks began to spread from the point of contact between the black magic pattern and the tentacles. It seemed that a small, inconspicuous corner of the black magic pattern attached to Niijima Azusa had cracked open as if paint had been chipped off.

We can't continue doing this.

Yuuki Yukino immediately made a judgment and retracted her tentacles.

However, Yuuki Yukino noticed the reason why her purification ability was ineffective.

Within that black magic rune, or rather, within Niijima Azusa's soul, there exists something else.

I've only experienced a feeling similar to Yuuki Yuki's once.

When Yuuki Yuki first entered the Dream Realm, Yumehara Sumireko's magic had a certain restraining effect on Yuuki Yuki's magic.

Sumireko Yumehara's corruption was due to absorbing too much corrupt power, but this also made her magic the closest to the original among all magical girls. Even Sumireko herself admitted that the magic that restrained Enishi Yuuki was because the original power could suppress the three pillar gods.

Now, the magic that can resist Yuuki Eri's power, no matter how much it is, must be of good quality.

Yuuki Yukino is not afraid of struggling against unknown forces, and she is certain to achieve final victory.

However, with Niijima Azusa's soul as the battlefield, Yuuki Yukino dared not take a gamble.

If I am not careful, I might hurt Azusa Niijima's soul and cause her irreversible damage.

At this moment, Azusa Niijima had lowered her head, her long hair hanging down naturally. The ropes binding Azusa Niijima on the ceiling swayed slightly with a creaking sound, making the strange scene in Yuuki Yuki's eyes even more eerie.

It was almost as if he were... dead.

Yuuki Yui took a step forward, looked up at Niijima Azusa, and examined the girl's body hanging in the air.

Could she have actually been injured by the aftershocks of the clash between the two forces?

Yuuki Yui believed that she had recovered her power very quickly, but the Black Magic Marks and the Soul were areas that neither of the two magical girls, nor even all of humanity, could explore, so Yuuki Yui dared not be completely at ease.

After circling around once, Niijima Azusa did not make a sound.

Yuuki Yukina stopped and cautiously observed Niijima Azusa's condition.

She looked more closely, step by step, pausing for a long time after each step.

The second lap was completed, but Niijima Azusa still showed no signs of waking up.

The strange power existing within Niijima Azusa gave her a sense of crisis, a sense of crisis that came from nowhere, making her dare not approach rashly.

Yuuki Yukino decided to wait a little longer, but nothing changed.

Yuki Yuki has gone around in circles again, but the situation remains unchanged, as does Niijima Azusa, and the black magic pattern with a missing corner.

Even though Yuki Yuki was somewhat resistant, she still took a step toward Niijima Azusa.

Yuki carefully stopped directly below Niijima Azusa, took a deep breath, and then reached out her hand towards Niijima Azusa above.

At the same moment Yuuki Eri reached out her hand, the ropes used to bind Niijima Azusa quietly snapped.

Azusa Niijima's hand, which should have been restrained behind her back, suddenly grabbed Yuuki Yuuki's wrist, just as Yuuki Yuuki had done before when she stopped Azusa Niijima from abusing other students at school.

As Niijima Azusa continued to fall under the influence of gravity, her empty eyes cast a shadow over the messy hair on her forehead. Her gaze was like a cold, sharp knife, making Yuuki Yuuki feel as if she had been cut just by meeting her eyes.

Niijima Azusa's hand moved; her raised palm was more like a knife than her gaze, slashing towards Yuuki Yuki's vulnerable neck.

Crackling sound.

After a brief encounter, Yuuki Yuki and Niijima Azusa separated. The purple tentacle threads wrapped around Yuuki Yuki's palm looked as if they had been hit by a cannonball, revealing a huge gap.

"Tsk."

Yuuki Yukino shook her hand, and the tentacles that were wrapped around her fell off, turning into a pile of fragments.

An attack of this strength shouldn't be something a rookie magical girl could deliver.

Even before she became stronger, Koumori was able to fight three magical girls at the foot of the Moon Sea Tower, and those three girls were all magical girls who had released their true names.

Niijima Azusa had no reason to be stronger than Baqi, Helica, or Mizuno Yu, and Yuuki Yuuki herself had no reason to be weaker than Koumori at that time.

Standing opposite Yuuki Yuuki, Niijima Azusa slightly raised her chin, scrutinizing Yuuki Yuuki with a critical eye.

"As expected of you."

As Niijima Azusa spoke, she raised her arm, which had been twisted more than half a turn and was now hanging limply, swaying from side to side as she raised it.

But Niijima Azusa acted as if she hadn't seen it, lowering the arm and a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"As expected of you." She repeated, "Yuki Yuki."

This title.

When Niijima Azusa first saw him, she called him the Pink Devil. Afterwards, her various reactions showed that she never recognized him. Even the fear she felt when she saw his tentacles was genuine.

Corruption only affects a person's personality, but it cannot provide a person with non-existent memories.

The person or personality in front of me is definitely not that of the student council president.

"Where's Niijima Azusa?" Yuuki Yuuki clenched her fist and met the gaze of the girl who resembled Niijima Azusa.

“Niijima Azusa is dead.” Niijima Azusa tilted her head, like a puppet being pulled by strings. The hand that Yuuki Yuzuru had broken off started to turn on its own, and with an annoying cracking sound, it became as good as new.

Yuuki Yukino's eyebrows twitched slightly, but she remained silent.

"You misspoke. It's Niijima Azusa who's already fallen into a deep sleep, as if she's dead." Niijima Azusa arrogantly raised her head and looked at Yuuki Yukina with disdain.

"Tsk."

Yuuki Yukino couldn't help but click her tongue again.

Several tentacles pierced out from the ground, like barbed wire covered with spikes, trapping Niijima Azusa inside.

"Give Niijima Azusa back."

As Niijima Azusa spoke, she took the initiative to walk towards the edge of the cage that Yuuki Emi had transformed into, which was made of thorns. Her smooth skin was immediately scratched by the sharp thorns, and bright red blood flowed from the wound.

"Are you angry? You're angry, aren't you? Because you can't save her, you can't save this beloved student council president, you wouldn't even dare to hurt a hair on her head. But we are different."

As Azusa Niijima finished speaking, the spikes simply vanished.

Without a doubt, this was done by Yuuki Yuuki.

Yuki Yuki cannot allow the other party to do whatever they want with Niijima Azusa's body or soul.

Self-harm and self-destruction are also forms of doing whatever one pleases.

Seeing that Yuuki Yukino had actually let go of her restraints, the girl who was not Niijima Azusa laughed even more exaggeratedly, as if she was laughing so hard that she was about to cry, and slapped her thighs back and forth.

"Haa, ahahahaha, you're scared, you're scared! You don't dare to hurt her! No matter what we do, you can't do anything. You can only watch us do evil, you can only watch us destroy everything in daily life little by little."

It's just trash talk.

But it really annoyed Yuuki Yukino.

However, there are many ways to subdue the opponent, and it is not necessary to use brutal means such as fighting. Yuuki Yukino alone has more than three ways to suppress Niijima Azusa.

Yuuki Yukino flicked her wrist, and tentacles snaked out from under her skirt, as if adding a starry lining to her purple gauze dress.

We can suppress it, but what happens after we suppress it?

The problem remains unresolved.

Yuuki Yukino sighed softly and asked in a cold voice, "What are you?"

"You asked us! You asked us!"

Niijima Azusa excitedly spun around in place, her long hair whipping around in a wild, messy frenzy.

"We are losers, ordinary members of this world, little ants that no one will remember, so despicable and ugly, humans who want to change the world but have no power."
