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

“My house is in a very remote area.” Nishio Reki looked around at the girls who had stopped fighting, Seishin who was being supported by Kuroba Kiyomi, and the thing that Yuuki Yuki was desperately holding down. Even if she wasn’t a witness, she could guess what had happened.

Previously, Nishio Reki was sent away by Yuuki Yuki, but now he has returned with this item. There is no need for Nishio Reki to recount the process and reasons, as everyone can understand the gist of it.

Saint Shion, however, could not understand or accept it at all. She reached out and touched the coffin that Nishio Reki had brought from afar, using her magic to feel the magic contained within it.

She had been in contact with this wand quite a bit, so she knew best that although the one in front of her was different from what she remembered—for example, it smelled of ramen soup and cola—it was undoubtedly the real deal.

"Really...really...this is real...no, it shouldn't be like this, it can't be like this, what are you..."

"It's complicated to explain, but anyway, it's not yours." Nishio Reki gave a vague answer, "But right now, there are more important things to do than explaining this to you, aren't there?"

It was Yuuki Gen who instructed Nishio Reki to bring it over, so there's no need to guess what Yuuki Gen intends to do.

With her legs clamped around the struggling magical energy, Yuuki urged Nishio Reki, "If you know, hurry up!"

Ever since Nishio Reki brought the coffin over, the magical energy seemed to have sensed something extremely annoying, and struggled even more fiercely.

That mass of magic can actually be considered the consciousness of the primordial darkness. Over a long period of time, its thinking has been worn away, and it has become a monster with extraordinary power that can only act on instinct.

Its current resistance demonstrates that Yuuki Eri's plan is indeed feasible, and seeing its reaction greatly boosts the confidence of the others.

Upon hearing Yuuki Yukino's words, Nishio Reki didn't hesitate for a second, immediately pulling open the coffin lid and opening the coffin.

The coffin was not empty; as Nishio Reki opened the lid, several streams of magical energy slowly drifted out.

Red, blue, white, green, black, gray... the colors of magic are colorful, but there aren't many, only a few.

The source of this magic is those bubbles, which are surrounded by magic and also exhibit an unusual color.

Each bubble represents the soul of a magical girl.

Many people sensed an incredibly familiar aura emanating from those souls.

Nishio Reki looked at the bubbles of souls, then glanced at the others, and meaningfully raised his hand, pushing the bubbles of souls aside.

Even if Nishio Reki didn't say it, everyone else could guess what it was.

It is their soul, the soul of another version of themselves who sacrificed themselves in some unknown timeline.

But no one said much about that; the real show was yet to come.

"Come on! Give me a hug! Let's put that thing in!" As Yuuki Yuki watched the coffin lid being opened, the strange movements in her arms became even more intense. Given her current unseemly state lying on the ground, it would probably be difficult to stuff all that stuff in.

"I, I, I also want, want!" Lin Jiezi's stuttering seemed even worse than before. She shook her head from side to side and held onto the thing in her hand tightly.

Yuuki Yukino changed her mind at the last minute: "Give us both a hug!"

The girls immediately swarmed forward and lifted the two people up with their own hands.

Mizuno Yu grabbed Hayashi's shoulders with both hands, Sakura Hanako hugged Hayashi's waist, and Herika lifted Hayashi's legs.

Meanwhile, Yuuki Yuki was in a similar situation. Baqi placed Yuuki Yuki's shoulder on her own, Nishio Reki lifted Yuuki Yuki's side waist, and Koumori and Hyakki Senyu each supported Yuuki Yuki's knees and ankles.

Before long, a group of magical girls lifted the two people onto their heads and marched in a grand procession toward the coffin—although it was only a few steps away, Seishin and Kuroba Rise were dumbfounded.

Upon reaching the coffin, the group hurriedly stuffed the filthy magic into it. Although the process was somewhat chaotic, it went smoothly overall.

"Just like before, I'll count to three, then we'll let go together and leave the power inside, understand?" Yuuki Yui gripped the edge of the coffin tightly, using her elbows, knees, and half of her body to hold the magic power inside the coffin, and looked at Lin Jiezi beside her.

Lin Jiezi had already done it once before, so her confidence soared, and she nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

After Yuuki Yuki finished counting to three, the two of them released their hands together, and Nishio Reki then slammed the coffin lid shut, trapping the chaotic magical energy inside.

Just like when Yuuki Yuki and Hayashi Keiko pulled that ball of magic out of Hayashi Keiko's body, the two of them plopped down on the ground.

As if sitting on the ground wasn't enough, Yuuki Yukina spread her arms wide and lay down on the ground in a starfish shape, her chest heaving violently as she pumped fresh air into her lungs.

Lin Jiezi glanced at Yuki Yuki, then curled up her own body, let out a long sigh of relief, and rolled over on the ground.

All the magical girls breathed a long sigh of relief, gazing at the coffin standing among them, and fell into a long silence.

The tense atmosphere finally relaxed, and Sakura Hanako then remembered something.

Sumireko Yumehara, who fought alongside them and awakened Yuuki Enishi and Hayashi Mustardo, why hasn't she appeared yet?

"Yuki-senpai, dream..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mizuno Yu's finger blocked her way, silencing her.

Sakura Hanako was a little confused, but she obediently shut her mouth and turned to look at Mizuno Yu with a questioning look.

But Mizuno Yu was looking at the coffin, with an extremely complicated expression.

Previously, the bodies and souls of past saintesses were used as containers to seal the Primordial Darkness. However, Yuuki and the others simply stuffed a ball of magic into it, and the Primordial Darkness actually stabilized. This is clearly unrealistic.

unless……

Sumireko Yumehara fell silent, and her gaze toward the coffin became complicated.

She no longer needed to ask about where Mashiro Gorgen was, what had happened to Asahi Miyabi, or what Sumireko Yumehara had done.

Because it's all over.

Although the future of magical girls remains unknown, the primordial darkness and the original darkness are still sealed away, and they will continue to fight each other. There will still be corrupted magical girls born, and the battle between magical girls and corrupted magical girls may continue.

But at least this time, they successfully protected the city they loved so much.

This time, it's all over.

Chapter 241 Embarking on a New Journey in the Morning Light

The trail of a fallen star still lingers in the sky, while white ripples, like pearls, appear in the east. After endless night, dawn has arrived in Moonsea City as promised.

A damp night breeze swept across the street corner, rustling the newly sprouted leaves on the trees and waking the calico cat that had been curled up in the corner, sleeping soundly all night.

A ray of full morning light pierced the darkness, and the outline of the forest of concrete and steel gradually became clear in the golden light of dawn. The orange-red of the sunrise was reflected in the glass of the office building, as well as the mess on the street.

The girls walked down the street, their footsteps breaking the newly acquired tranquility, startling the sparrows perched atop the telephone poles, which flapped their wings and soared towards the distant horizon.

It's over. It's all over.

Nishio Reki carried the huge white coffin on his back and walked silently beside Yuuki Yuki.

On the other side of Yuki Yuki was Lin Jiezi, who was clutching her wounds and walking with a limp.

"Yuki, are you really alright?" Nishio Reki was walking when he suddenly slowed down a bit and turned to look at Yuki Yuki, who was walking beside him.

"I've already told everyone, I simply severed the connection between Nyarlathotep and the Primordial Darkness. Although it caused some damage to my soul, it's nothing serious." Yuuki Yuuki waved her hand, her voice filled with exhaustion, but her tone was incredibly relaxed.

"Me...I...more or less...I guess? Part of it...I left it inside my body...I don't know what it's for." Lin Jiezi continued speaking voluntarily.

Once again, only the sound of footsteps remained among the girls.

After the battle was completely over, the girls dispersed on the spot. Helica and Baki originally planned to send Yuuki back, but Yuuki declined.

Sakuragawa Nana, who had only shown her face briefly before being knocked away by Seishine, only woke up later. She had no idea what had happened, so she vaguely knew that it was over and went back.

Everyone is exhausted, and things happened so suddenly, so it's best to get some rest as soon as possible.

Moreover, Sumireko Yumehara has temporarily compressed all her power together using the portion of primordial magic within her body, and it is now locked inside by the primordial wand. As long as no one actively opens it, it is absolutely safe.

To say it's absolutely safe is a bit of an exaggeration, but at least it's safe for the time being.

After Yuuki Yukino sealed away that power, the isolated aura calmed the magic within her body, and she was able to transform and use her power normally again.

However, she hasn't changed much since then; she still possesses Nyaruko's body and still has to consider how to deal with the filth within her.

Fortunately, the problems with Mashiro and Asahi have been resolved for the time being. Their souls were not as lucky as Seishion's; they were imprisoned along with that power and Sumireko Yumehara. Therefore, Yuuki Yui doesn't need to worry about them causing any trouble.

The last question is what to do with the coffin. However, Cheng Yuan doesn't have a good idea, so she needs to discuss it with Xiao Li. But they haven't come to a conclusion yet.

Incidentally, most of the original power has been sealed away, so Xiao Li doesn't have many restrictions now and can say whatever she wants.

However, if Nishio Reki really had to say something, she didn't know what she should say to Yuuki Yukino that she hadn't mentioned before. Now that most of the problems had been resolved, Nishio Reki had nothing left to say.

However, the impurities within Yuuki Yukino's body have not yet been resolved.

Rather, it seems the corrupting forces have increased, and if no solution is found, Yuuki Eri could easily spiral out of control.

But at least not today.

As Yuuki Yukina thought this, she turned to look at the coffin behind Nishio Reki and fell into deep thought.

Nishio Reki also noticed that Yuuki Yuki was looking at him, so he turned around and asked.

"Xiaoyuan, what's wrong?"

“I’m still wondering what to do with this wand. The Grand Cathedral no longer exists, and neither are Seiki and Genji Mashiro. What about the people in the church, and the magical girls awakened by Asahi Miyabi?” Yuuki sighed.

Indeed, there are still many problems that need to be solved.

To be precise, it's about handling the aftermath.

"Don't think about it too much for now. We can deal with the future later. The most important thing right now is to get a good night's sleep and recover. Your injuries and Lin Jiezi's injuries are quite serious. Even with the magical girl's regenerative abilities, it will take some time to recover, especially for Lin."

Nishio Reki temporarily interrupted Yuuki Yukino's continued thinking. Just as she said, before the battle, during the battle, and finally how to deal with Seishine and those powers, Yuuki Yukino's brain had been working at high speed, and she really needed to rest.

Lin Jiezi, whose name had been called out, looked at the wounds on her body and didn't know whether she should speak or not.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Jiezi finally made up her mind.

"Actually, it doesn't hurt that much..."

She had barely begun speaking when Yuuki Yukino naturally picked up where Nishio Reki left off, forcing Hayashi Keko to shut her mouth for the time being.

"Xiao Li is right. We'll think about it later. But we have to keep this coffin safe. If it's shown to my sister, I won't know how to explain it to her."

Nishio Reki was still a bit hesitant. At first, he explained a few things to Yuuki Yuki, but then he accepted Yuuki Yuki's idea.

“Saint Shiyin also knows the origin of this wand. Right now, she is too busy to even return to the church, so she can’t keep the wand. Therefore, I still think it’s best to leave it with Xiaoyuan. But since Xiaoyuan has said so, let’s leave it with me for now.”

I haven't thought of a long-term solution, but leaving it with Xiaoli for now is a good idea. Although it's like a time bomb, it won't explode so easily.

And so the matter was finally settled. The girls chatted amongst themselves as they walked toward Yuuki Yukino's house.

Originally, Yuuki Yuuki didn't even plan to let Nishio Reki come along, but firstly, Nishio Reki was worried about her and Hayashi Mustard, and secondly, Reki said he wanted to discuss the whereabouts of the wand in private, so Yuuki Yuuki agreed.

The most crucial point is that Yuuki Eri might be ambushed by those nuns. Although the ambush might not be that serious, with several people together, Yuuki Eri can take care of Kore, and Kore can prevent others from harming Yuuki Eri.

However, the nuns and magical girls seemed to have disappeared after the Saintess went berserk, and nothing happened in the end.

However, it seems that Asahiya didn't tell them anything when they were awakened, so perhaps they didn't know about the coffin or the Primordial Darkness.
