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

Qianyou didn't mention anything like "Does this remind you of what Kuroba forced you to do in his next life?", and Hongmoli did indeed have a very bad feeling of déjà vu because of this.

But with that seemingly unintentional touch, Hong Moli suddenly felt much more relaxed in her chest.

This time, what he was doing was not an evil act, but an act to protect the city where he was born, grew up, and met the most important people in the world from an evil even greater than that of Kuroba Rebirth.

More importantly, the person he wanted to protect was right behind him, fighting alongside him.

Hong Moli glanced behind her out of the corner of her eye and sighed quietly.

“They may be scattered throughout every corner of the city, but compared to that terrifying number, this is already a small number.”

"Let's focus on the present, Mari. While you were hesitating, I've already taken care of thirteen of them."

Hyakki Chiyu did not continue on this topic. Instead, she quietly placed the hand that had been used to touch Koumori on the hilt of the sword, her thumb pressed against the hilt, which was warmed by her own body heat, and drew the long sword from its sheath a very subtle distance.

Qianyou's gray eyes swept across the surroundings: an ordinary girl who had fallen into a coma, enemies with identical faces who were twisted and lying in various corners, and a few scattered figures in the distance.

And, some of the loud cheers and shouts of encouragement from ordinary people who stayed far away.

"Come on! Don't lose to these monsters!"

"Magical girls! Let's defeat them!"

As a fallen magical girl, she received support from ordinary people, a stark contrast that Koumori had never experienced before.

Even when Koumori was an ordinary person, she had never had such an experience, but this feeling was really not bad.

Hong Moli breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, let's get rid of all the remaining pests! We're heading to the next place."

……

Several days have passed since Yuuki Eri determined the existence of these "parasites," and during this time, many more "parasites" have been eliminated.

The method to force out the "parasites" is simple: cut off their energy supply to the host. Yuuki Yuuki has already proven this with her actions at the cram school.

To put it more simply, all you need to do is use magic plunder on the host to prevent them from absorbing the host's energy.

After all, many types of parasites in reality can only depend on one host for their entire lives, and if the host dies, they will also die.

Although these wretched creatures are different from ordinary parasites, their situation is extremely similar, and it is certainly feasible to deal with them using similar methods.

The purpose of these "parasites" is to corrupt their hosts. As long as they cannot achieve their goal—as long as the host cannot continuously supply them with power for the time being—they will only have two choices.

They either die without a magical supply—and may even be dragged out by the magical girl before they die; or they must leave the host's body and fight to the death.

It's worth noting that while they are indeed capable of fighting, none of them individually could defeat Sakuragawa Nana, so anyone could handle them.

However, since magic plundering is exclusive to corrupted magical girls, ordinary people really can't help with this, so this task falls on the shoulders of these corrupted magical girls.

Sumireko Yumehara and Mashiro Urokin had a grudge against each other, as did Mari Kou and Senyu Hyakki. Moreover, Yuuki Yuuki had helped them a lot, so they joined without any hesitation.

Needless to say, Inuyama Tomoe does whatever Yuuki Yuuki asks her to do. Although Yuuki Yuuki sometimes lets Tomoe have some of her own opinions, Tomoe is actually very opinionated about everything except listening to Yuuki Yuuki.

The only person who surprised Yuuki En was Nishio Reki, who was also able to use the skill of magic plunder.

“My situation is special. Although I am not a magical girl, I am indeed able to use this power,” Nishio Reki explained.

Yuuki Yukino herself had seen it; the Ancestral Dragon was a wand that belonged to her, Yuuki Yukino, in a certain timeline, so it should also be considered a corrupted power.

Moreover, Nishio Reki was an ordinary person who could spar with Gen Urobuchi Mashiro, so Yuuki Yuki thought about it for a moment and then let Nishio Reki join as well.

Neither Nishio Reki nor Yuuki Yuki were alone; they could both entrust their backs to each other with peace of mind, and were people to whom the other could confidently entrust important matters.

The plan had been finalized, but things didn't actually go as smoothly as expected.

The people at the cram school were relatively organized, but other places—such as hospitals, gyms, and hot spring hotels—had a significant flow of people, making it difficult to locate all the victims from that time.

So all they could do was conduct a thorough search, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, trying their best to find their traces.

Furthermore, they discovered that the places marked were not only those they knew about. During the battle between the corrupted magical girls, the other magical girls worked together to organize the forum data that Mizuno Yu had asked someone from the company to download.

As it turns out, Asahi's decision to close the forum was absolutely correct. Based on the information available so far, several more suspicious locations have been identified, at least one or two of which have been used to spread the "seeds" of the "dandelion" virus.

During this period, three or four corrupted magical girls were also born, but they were all captured by Yuuki Yukino.

Therefore, this turned into an open battle, with the corrupted magical girls wreaking havoc on the parasite network they had painstakingly built right under the enemy's noses. In the eyes of the residents of Moonsea City, all of this was a remarkable feat.

Ordinary people can't see the dark magic markings, and apart from Yuuki Yuki and Baqi, two notorious elites, they can't tell who the corrupted magical girl is.

On one side are naked monsters crawling out of the bodies of unconscious people, and on the other side are magical girls fighting the monsters. Which side should you believe? Most people probably already know the answer in their hearts.

These corrupted magical girls are doing the dark things that corrupted magical girls might do, but their purpose is not to harm others, but to protect them.

They've gone this far; the enemy lurking in the shadows will definitely not give up so easily and will surely try to mitigate the damage in some way, such as shutting down a website.

Otherwise, waiting for an opportunity to come among the already few infected people is a passive approach that Asahi would certainly not choose.

Indeed, this excessively mischievous way of giving birth to offspring and causing them destruction must be the ability of Shubnigs, and it must be the work of Asahimi.

Although Yuuki Yukino never stopped suspecting that these were Asahimi's tricks, her feelings were completely different when she actually found incredibly conclusive clues to confirm her suspicions.

The first week of spring break has come to an end.

The war escalated further on an ordinary evening during the second week.

……

If you want to cure a disease, it is not enough to only know how to prevent it; you also need to know how to treat patients who have already contracted the disease.

To prevent the flu, you need to ventilate your home frequently, wash your hands often, wear a mask, and avoid places where you might get infected. If you do catch a cold, you should treat the symptoms such as cough and fever, eat a light diet, and drink plenty of water.

From minor ailments like fevers and colds to major plagues that ravaged the world centuries ago, it's always the same.

If those parasites are a disease, then so are the corrupted magical girls whose bodies have been possessed by Asahi Miyabi's creations.

Yuuki Enishi wanted to heal them. Even if she couldn't undo their corruption, she wanted to at least eliminate the despicable personality created by Asahimi's power within them.

That despicable personality not only took over the girls' bodies, but may have even replaced their souls.

"Niijima Azusa is dead. Ah, no, I misspoke. Niijima Azusa has fallen into a deep sleep, as if she were dead."

That's what the guy who took over Niijima Azusa's mind and body said.

When Yuuki Yuki reread those words a week later, she understood their meaning differently.

If Niijima Azusa's original personality is still intact, then it's probably just an ordinary personality that has been affected by the corruption. After all, he deliberately showed off his strength to scare Niijima Azusa, and Niijima Azusa's reaction was fear.

This is completely different from the arrogance that the guy later displayed.

If I can find a way to kill that parasitic personality, maybe I can awaken Niijima Azusa.

In this way, Yuuki Yuzuriha will have a solution to deal with any future occurrences of corrupted magical girls or to prevent girls from being harmed.

Yuuki Yui also has a new guess—Asahi Miyabi's magic is hindering her innate ability to purify the corrupted.

Perhaps it was because my power was insufficient to purify the filth produced by the wand of the Three Pillar Gods?

After all, the filth accumulated from using Nyarlathotep was something Yuuki En couldn't handle on her own.

However, using this purification ability to help these corrupted magical girls should not be a problem. If Baqi, Marie, and Chiyu can all live normal lives, then these corrupted magical girls should be able to as well.

Without hesitation, Yuuki Yuki decisively plunged into the Dream Realm.

The number of small houses used to imprison corrupted magical girls in the Dreamland has increased, and as Sumireko Yumehara's workload has risen rapidly, she also needs more magic power.

Fortunately, Yuuki Yui had made a small modification to her handheld console beforehand using her Nyarlathotep ability, which allowed her to convert some of the electrical energy into magic in a completely unscientific but very magical way.

In this way, Sumireko can replenish her magic power while charging, but the price is that Sumireko screams and yells as if she is wearing an electric shock device when charging, and she was angry about this for a long time.

If it were Mizuno Yu, she would probably enjoy the process.

Alas, poor Sumireko, she's still far behind Mizuno Yu in terms of skill level.

In addition, Yuuki Yuki and Oosuki Koko continuously tested the threshold at which these corrupted magical girls could break free, eventually setting it at about 20% of the strength they had when controlling Yuuki Yuki.

This 20% is not a simple numerical addition; for every bit of increase in intensity, the difficulty of breaking free increases exponentially.

As Yuuki Yukina walked, she pondered and checked on the girls in their individual cells.

Everything was alright; at least Yuuki Yuki didn't see anything unreasonable about it.

As they walked, Azusa Niijima's prison cell came into view.

Yuki Yukino pushed open the door and looked up to see Niijima Azusa's figure.

Niijima Azusa had been hanging from the ceiling, but because Yumehara Sumireko reinforced her first and used the most magic to create the restraints, they were too lazy to replace them one by one. So, drinking made it impossible for Niijima Azusa to break free.

However, these constraints do not include anything that obscures the senses. Since they share the same consciousness, if Yuuki Yuen does something to one of them, the others will know very quickly, even if the other person is in the dream world.

Therefore, Yuuki Yui did not intend to do anything unnecessary, but this led to Niijima Azusa seeing Yuuki Yui immediately and immediately starting to mock her.

"Look, look, you've come! You've come to see us! You've already killed many of our comrades, you murderer! But you still can't do anything. You can't find us. There are many of us, and we are very powerful!"

They should have stuffed something in her mouth, otherwise listening to this guy's trash talk is really annoying.

Yuuki Yukino raised her eyelids and glared at the self-absorbed guy: "How pathetic."

"Hehe, we're not pitiful at all! We're free! No one can completely control us! We're the ones who control others!"

Niijima Azusa retorted in a cheeky manner, but Yuuki Yuki knew that the person speaking was not the real Niijima Azusa at all.

"Fine, whatever you say doesn't matter." Yuuki Yuu spread her hands. Having dealt with these guys so many times, Yuuki Yuu already knew how to deal with them.

Ignore it, completely ignore it.

Whether it's sarcasm, pleading, or agreement, don't listen to a single word that comes out of their mouths.

Even if you can't understand the chirping of insects, it can still be annoying, so it's understandable that Yuuki Yukino might unconsciously frown.

Niijima Azusa noticed Yuuki Yukino's expression, and with this novel discovery, she cried out even more happily.

"You chickened out! You've become even more of a chicken! Hehe, deep down you're still afraid of us, aren't you? You can't defeat us! You can't hurt us! You're helpless against us because we've become human!"

These guys are always having a blast. Today, Yuuki Enishi felt that their chatter was even more intense than before, and they seemed to be doing it even harder. Maybe these guys were just too lonely being locked up in the Dream Realm?

Even if consciousness is connected, there may still be differences between individuals.

"Yuki Yuuki, Yuki Yuuki, you've come to see us! This means you've made no progress! This means we hid very well! This means you've lost! You have nowhere to go! You're helpless! You're a loser! A loser just like us!"

Ugh.

Yuki Yukina raised her hand, and the restraints that Yumehara Sumireko had placed on Niijima Azusa slowly faded away, allowing her to be released.

Nyarko can mimic the magic of other magical girls, so mimicking Sumireko Yumehara's magic is no problem for her.

Although Yuuki Enishi didn't know how Yumehara Sumireko, who possessed primordial power within her, was able to completely imitate her and even use the super-modified restraint traps she had set up.
