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

"Tian Lei is right, this is the duty of a magical girl."

"We are magical girls, we can't let those guys get their way."

With the remaining three expressing their opinions, the decision to launch an attack on the Dreamland and the Genken Mashiro within it became a done deal.

It was approved by all, without exception.

Yuuki Yukino could have guessed that such a scene would appear before her, but when she actually saw everyone standing in the same place, facing the same direction and preparing to move forward, she still couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.

"Okay, let's make some preparations first, and then set off together when the time comes!"

……

The progress is too fast.

Yuuki Yukino still felt that things were developing a little too fast.

When she lay back in her own bed, it felt as if everything that had happened that night had been a dream.

Was it just a sudden whim, or something I tried out, that led to this outcome?

Yuuki Yukino was initially anxious about not knowing what the enemy was doing, and was thinking that if the enemy made any moves, she would be able to counter them.

That's too fast...

Yuki Yukino said she gave everyone time to prepare, but what do you need to prepare?

Yuuki Yukino didn't know; perhaps it was a farewell to her family? Perhaps it was a calm consideration of what to do? Or perhaps it was a final moment of tenderness?

Perhaps everyone needs some time to sort out their feelings before embarking on the inevitable journey and facing the inevitable ending.

So what do I need to prepare?

So, when will the time come?

Yuuki Yui rolled over in bed, placed her hand on her handheld console, and gently stroked the screen with her fingers, as if she were petting a kitten, or as if she were petting Yumehara Sumireko inside.

Are you scared?

Yumehara Sumireko lit up the screen on the handheld console and asked in a gentle tone, like a caring older sister.

The person currently on the screen is Sumireko, who has achieved divine liberation. In this serious situation, she does not want to engage with her divine liberation.

Although Little Violet and Big Violet were originally one, protecting her naive self had become a habit for Big Violet.

In Oosugi's view, although Yuuki Yukino is a respectable opponent and her current comrade, she is not much more mature than Koosugi. If she could, she would also give Yuuki Yukino some protection.

After all, Yuuki Yukino is just a girl, and apart from possessing special powers, she has nothing special about her.

"What am I afraid of? It's just something that was bound to happen. I'm quite surprised that it's been dragged on for so long."

Yuuki stretched, raised the handheld console above her head, and looked at Sumireko on the screen with feigned composure.

Yuuki Yui originally thought that her daily life would be disrupted earlier and more thoroughly, but nothing happened this semester—at least it was much more peaceful than the destruction caused by Kuroba Reisei and the Christmas battle.

Whether it's the plans of Mashiro and Asahi, or the filth that's increasing within me every day, both need to be addressed.

Yuuki Yukina's faster-than-usual tone had already proven something to Yumehara Sumireko.

“Just because it’s inevitable doesn’t mean you’re not afraid.” Oosuko crossed her arms, her armor clanging.

"Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense. Use this time to recharge your magic and think of a solution," Yuuki Yui said dismissively, pouting.

"I didn't do anything. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Besides, in my contact with the primordial power, although I came into contact with filth that was enough to corrupt me, I also gained corresponding power. There's no need to worry about me."

Yumehara Sumireko shook her head and politely declined Yuki Yuki's offer, but also directly exposed Yuki Yuki's perfunctory attitude: "Compared to this, I think I should worry about other things."

“But you also have a deeper sense of responsibility than others because of this, right?” Yuuki Yui ignored the second half of Yumehara Sumireko’s sentence, placed the handheld console in front of her chest, propped her head up with a pillow, and looked directly at Yumehara Sumireko’s face.

"Are you referring to the original mission? Or her constraints? Both are somewhat awkward, but it doesn't matter. Although I still don't like the power within you, you're not the only target I need to deal with."

"So you're going to deal with them? It's always good to think of a strategy, isn't it?"

"You can't think of anything in such a short time, can you?"

The pointless conversation continued, and Yuuki Yukari didn't really have anything she wanted to say; she just wanted to talk to someone.

This person cannot be someone who cares about you, especially Baqi, Herika, or Xiaoli. You must never show your insecure side to them.

Yes, Yuuki Yukino was very uneasy, thinking about what was about to happen, and she couldn't face it calmly.

Honestly, she should thank Yumehara Sumireko for spending this time chatting nonsense with her. She also knew that Yumehara Sumireko knew she needed to talk about trivial things, which was why she was going on and on with her at this time.

However, Sumireko Yumehara probably doesn't need my gratitude, just as she didn't really thank me for preserving her soul bubble.

There's no such thing as "should" or "shouldn't," just say what you want to say.

"Sumireko Yumehara".

"Ok?"

Thank you.

Why thank me? Because I talked to you.

"Correct."

Sumireko Yumehara remained silent for a while, then clicked her tongue.

"You were so awkward just a moment ago, how come you're acting like you're ready to die for me now? Do you think that if you don't say these things to me now, you'll never have the chance to say them again?"

“Yes.” Yuuki Yui nodded.

"You actually agreed? That's too honest!" Sumireko couldn't hold back anymore. She never expected Yuuki Yui to be so incredibly honest.

"Why wouldn't you agree? Everyone knows this trip might be a one-way trip. If we're not honest, we might never have another chance." Yuuki Yuen shrugged.

Oosuko looked as if she had seen a ghost.

"Forget it, that's disgusting. You'd be more pleasing to the eye if you were a little more wicked."

"Am I really that bad?" Yuuki Yukina couldn't help but ask.

“It’s true that Sumireko thinks you’re not a good person.” Sumireko Yumehara frowned and stared at Yuuki Yukino for a while. “If you want to be honest, you should talk to someone who wants to hear your honesty. After all, it’s not like I’m dating you, and you’re not my type.”

"Wha...what kind of love!"

Yuuki Yukino blushed and almost dropped the handheld console from her hands.

But Yukihara Sumireko understood what she meant and who she was referring to; she didn't need a translator, and she didn't want Sumireko to keep harping on it.

"Sigh...we'll see." Yuuki Yui sighed.

There was another long silence. Yuuki Yui was used to falling silent while chatting.

"Take a nap? I don't need to sleep. I can keep track of the time for you," Sumireko Yumehara asked again.

"Alright."

Yuuki Yui agreed, and tried to close her eyes, letting the restlessness in her heart slowly be expelled from her body as she emptied her mind.

But she couldn't do it; those chaotic thoughts were like a dark cloud, constantly lingering in her heart.

She took a deep breath, counted numbers, and filled her mind with all sorts of random thoughts... Yuuki tried every method she could think of, but none of them worked.

If you can't sleep, go for a walk.

Go for a stroll, aimlessly, and take another look around the city until you feel that the time has come.

Yuuki Yukino thought to herself.

So Yuuki Yukino got out of bed and changed out of her pajamas.

Just like every time I go out, I comb my long pink hair in front of the mirror, change my clothes in front of the wardrobe, pick up my socks on the sofa, and put on a coat that I can still wear in the lingering spring as I pass by the coat rack.

Just like every time, but this might be the last time.

No, if my life were a comic book, I would have already solved all my problems.

This time will be the same; I am the undisputed leading lady.

Yuuki Yui took a deep breath and reached for the doorknob.

The door was opened before she could even touch the doorknob.

That short, pink hair that Yuuki Yuuki couldn't see often, but would never forget, suddenly entered her field of vision without warning.

Chapter 175 Moving Forward After Saying Goodbye

Not only was Yuuki Yukino slightly stunned when she saw the person standing at her door, but the person standing at the door also showed a puzzled expression when she saw Yuuki Yukino fully armed and ready to go out.

"edge?"

Yuki Tamaki, still clutching the keys she hadn't had time to put in her bag, let out a soft "hmm." Perhaps the fatigue she had accumulated since returning from the company vanished in an instant, replaced by a concerned expression.

For a moment, Yuuki Yukino forgot how to get along with her sister whom she spent every day with. Her lips parted slightly, but she couldn't utter a single syllable for a long time.

A few seconds felt like several minutes to Yuuki Yuuki.

She nodded, which was her answer to Tamaki Yuuki.

"Ah."

The two sisters stood there, one outside the door and the other inside, neither moving nor speaking first, a silent tension filling the air.

It was as if a wall stood between the two of them, separating them into two different worlds and silencing their voices.

Yuuki Yukino was momentarily at a loss for words.

Without warning or preparation, her older sister, just like every time, ran home late at night. Perhaps she was hoping for a late-night chat with her sister, or perhaps she just wanted to see Yuuki Yuki.

But now is not the time. Yuuki Yui has things she must do. In order to have countless nights like these in the future, nights that belong only to her and her sisters, and to more people, Yuuki Yui has no choice but to do them.

Just when Yuki Yuki was determined to leave, a gentle touch suddenly entered her world, leaving her, who had already made up her mind to be strong to the end, helpless.

What about the older sister?

Is she thinking about something because she's not saying anything?

Yuuki Yui is not good at disguising herself, especially in front of her older sister. It's as if just standing there, she can reveal all her thoughts to her sister.

Yuuki Yukino avoided Yuuki Tamaki's gaze, lowered her head to straighten the hem of her clothes, unbuttoned the bottom button, and then buttoned it back up.

Yuki Tamaki's gaze remained fixed on Yuki Yuki, a complex look flashing in his eyes, but he didn't ask directly.

"It's so late? Are you still going out?"

Finally, breaking the silence, Yuuki Tamaki asked a question that every one of her older sisters would ask at this time and place, just like the countless times they had experienced in their daily lives.
