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

Yuuki Yuuki, who had just been giving a long speech, fell silent in the face of Helica's question, only slightly furrowing her brows.

Herlica wasn't good at reading people's expressions, but Yuuki Yukino's subtle change in expression was precisely a sign that she was right.

Yes, Yuuki Yuuki doesn't necessarily have to leave everyone. If everyone works together, they might be able to figure out a way.

Even if she knocks Yuuki Yukino unconscious, Helica is determined to bring her back safe and sound!

This was the purpose of her trip, and even if Yuuki Yuki herself said so, Helica would not give up so easily.

Yuuki Yuuki seemed to be able to see clearly what Helica was thinking.

Yuuki sighed helplessly, "Helica, I don't want to fight you."

"Is that so?" Helica raised the corners of her mouth. The thunder around her and the distant thunder in the sky rose and fell, and white lightning flowed around Helica's body. Even though Helica had not yet transformed, she was already full of momentum.

"Herika." Yuuki called Herika's name again, this time with a hint of pleading.

"Yuan, when you brought me here, you were already prepared to fight me, weren't you!" Helica grinned. After hearing Yuuki Yu's words and understanding her intentions, she felt an exhilarating sense of freedom. The dark clouds that had been hanging over her heart had largely disappeared.

Yuuki Yukino doesn't not want to fight herself; rather, she can't fight herself.

Since such a dangerous power exists within her, and each use of Nyarlathotep could accelerate the awakening of the Primordial Darkness, or rather, Rise Tsukimi, it's impossible for Yuuki Yukino to do such a thing.

If I use force, I can definitely capture Yuuki Yukino and bring her back.

We're just one step away from success!

The silvery-white lightning transformed into gold, and the lightning coalesced into a tangible form in Helica's hand. Helica clenched her outstretched palm, and a golden warhammer appeared in her hand.

Seeing that Helica had even revealed her wand, Yuuki Yuuki's expression grew even more gloomy.

But this is not a bad thing for Helica.

She wasn't worried about Yuuki Yu's unpleasant expression, but rather about Yuuki Yu maintaining the same warm yet subtly cold attitude she had when they first met. This would make Herika feel that Yuuki Yu had everything under control, and it would give Herika a sense of frustration.

Seeing Yuuki Yuuki like this, Helica's confidence had reached its peak. She strode towards Yuuki Yuuki and reached out to grab her wrist.

However, she misunderstood Yuuki Yuuki. Yuuki Yuuki's expression was not because she was in a dilemma.

Rather, she genuinely didn't want things to come to this with Helica.

Herlica's hand ultimately failed to touch Yuuki Yuki's body. The emerald crystal cluster that fell from the sky was like a nail, directly nailing a few centimeters in front of Herlica's fingers, completely separating Yuuki Yuki and Herlica.

The crystal cluster reflected the image of Helica slowly retracting her hand from its depths, then gripping the warhammer tightly in both hands.

"It's the third magical girl!" Helica thought to herself.

Besides her and Yuuki Yuuki, there are other people here!

But Helica had never seen such an ability before. To her, this was a completely new magical girl, no, a corrupted magical girl.

However, not having seen it doesn't mean she hadn't heard of such an ability.

Herlica's gaze pierced through the crystal cluster before her, and in the emerald green reflected within it, stood a ragged, corrupted magical girl.

No, not one, but two.

Beside the corrupted magical girl, there was another person with their arms crossed, and a pair of black wings folded behind them.

The crystal cluster that had been blocking Helica's way shattered silently, revealing the clear, unobstructed faces of the two corrupted magical girls standing behind it.

Herlica's pupils contracted; she never expected that she would see them here after nearly a year apart.

Before Helica could speak, the ragged, corrupted magical girl raised her hand. The shattered crystal clusters transformed into emerald green magic, which flowed back into the girl's palm, gradually dimming and disappearing.

The girl raised her hand and waved slightly at Helica, which could be considered a greeting.

"Long time no see, Helica."

Helica dragged the golden warhammer with one hand, and the whole sentence was squeezed out through her clenched teeth.

"Long time no see, senior."

Since their parting at the Moon Sea Park over barbecue, Helica had hardly had a proper conversation with the other person. Now that they met again, she naturally felt a mix of emotions.

But compared to catching up with her predecessors, there were clearly more important things waiting for Herika to do right now.

The air between them seemed to freeze, but Yuuki Yuki seemed completely oblivious, giving Tenrai Herika another meaningful look before turning away.

"Don't go!" Helica had just taken a step forward when she saw the two people blocking her way also silently take a step forward as well.

If I move forward, they will definitely stop me—conversely, if I turn around and leave, everyone will be fine, right?

Helica lowered her hand, sighed helplessly, and looked up at the empty yet overcast sky above.

We can't see any stars today either.

Herlica's actions clearly indicated that she had given up resisting, causing the two men blocking her way to lower their guard and abandon their tense stance.

Helica swallowed hard and uttered the true name of her wand in a voice only she could hear.

"Thor."

In an instant, several bolts of lightning struck from the dense dark clouds, illuminating the open space as bright as day.

Herika, who had been standing there, had vanished without a trace.

Herriam, whose magical armor had been completely transformed, moved like lightning, circling in place before flashing behind Yuuki Yuuki.

Helica didn't want to be enemies with Yuuki Yuki, nor did she want to be enemies with her seniors. If she could avoid fighting, that would be the best outcome.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it's at least worth trying.

Helica immediately activated her divine release, and in this state, her speed was pushed to the limit, and she arrived at Yuuki Yuuki's side in an instant.

But no matter how fast she moves, she can't outrun the passage of time.

Herlica felt a blur before her eyes, and everything that had just happened seemed like a mirage. Yuuki Yuki, whom she could have reached out and touch, was gone, and she was still standing in the same spot.

The only thing that allowed Helica to be certain that she hadn't been seeing things or imagining things was that her divine liberation was already activated.

Meanwhile, the two magical girls opposite them, each with a green and a pink black magic mark on their bodies, were already floating in mid-air.

"Lilith!"

"Leviathan!"

Two surging streams of magic arrived in front of Helica in an instant.

Herica was able to break through the encirclement of the two not only because of her own strength, but also because of the element of surprise.

Now, being entangled by two people, and two corrupted magical girls who have awakened their divine powers, Helica is exhausted from traveling for days and hasn't fully recovered. Even if she has plenty of magic, her physical fatigue will hold her back. Even if she were in perfect condition, it would definitely take some effort to break through this encirclement.

Seeing that the giant claw formed by the crystal cluster in the girl's palm was about to strike her, Helica had no choice but to raise her arms to defend herself.

At that moment, the pink mist that had been obscuring her vision began to rise, penetrating into Helica's body and stirring up her previously calm magic and emotions, even slightly distorting the scenery before her eyes.

Herica almost forgot that there were more than just one pair of well-coordinated characters in the Dark Magical Girls.

Koumori and Hyakki Senyu, after their divine liberation, perfectly complemented each other's weaknesses, making them extremely difficult to stop; Sakura Hanako and Mizuno Yu, although not lovers but purely senior-junior trusted each other, their combination is both offensive and defensive, making them the most reliable support for all magical girls; Yuuki Yuki and Inuyama Tomoe, this pair who truly fought their way up from complete ignorance, needless to say, even Urouge Mashiro, who uses Yog's abilities, couldn't gain an advantage in their M'sishha form.

Besides them, there is another pair who have been fighting side by side for a long time and have indeed done many unforgivable things because of their feelings for each other and their corruption. But undeniably, their combination is a real problem.

Miyashita Mia and Tsukimi Rie, this was the first time he had officially fought against them.

It might be a bit difficult to break through.

However, it's not entirely without a solution.

……

The thunder rumbled more and more frequently in the sky, and a few large raindrops fell on the dusty path, wetting the dry surface.

Lying in the dust, Miyashita Mia supported herself on the ground and slowly sat up, then reached out her hand to Tsukimi Rie lying next to her.

"Hui, are you alright?"

"It's alright, don't worry." Tsukimi Rie took Miyashita Mia's hand and let her help her up, then stood up and brushed the dust off her clothes: "Anyway, neither side fought to the death, right?"

"It's just the two of us who aren't fighting to the death, right? If we really went all out, your junior junior would probably survive, and we'd both be at a huge disadvantage." Miyashita Miya dusted herself off. "All we're doing is helping Yuuki Yukino stop her. It wouldn't be worth it if we got seriously injured trying to stop her, would it?"

"While that's true, I personally think it would be better if they clarified things more thoroughly. Otherwise, who knows what regrets might arise?" Rie Tsukimi looked in the direction Helica had left and shrugged slightly. "Mia, what do you think?"

"What do you mean, how about it?"

"My junior from junior high is pretty good, isn't she?"

"Of course."

Meanwhile, not far from the battlefield where the battle had just ended.

Yuuki Yukino, who was walking with an umbrella, turned around and looked at the blonde girl who had appeared behind her, whose magical armor was gradually getting soaked by the rain.

According to the outline, this book has entered its final stage!

As usual, I'm asking for monthly votes, tips, criticisms, and suggestions!

Wanwan will work hard in the last month!

Chapter 262 Unfinished Wishes Under the Stars Shattered in the Rain

Helica's shoes sank into the puddles that had just gathered on the ground. The dull sound of the water was instantly drowned out by the surrounding rain, leaving no trace, just like Yuki Eri, who was about to disappear into the city again before her eyes.

However, it was as if Yuuki Yukino had already keenly caught the sound of Tenrai Helica's footsteps, and she stopped her unhurried but increasingly distant steps.

Herika could feel Yuuki Yuki's gaze falling lightly on her from under the black umbrella.

Helica Tenrai, who had been constantly accelerating in an attempt to get closer to Yuuki Enishi, slowed down at this moment and walked step by step through the puddles toward Yuuki Enishi.

Yuuki Yukina no longer intends to avoid Tenrai Herika, and Tenrai Herika also knows that she and Yuuki Yukina will eventually need to have a conversation, but this is the last one left.

Helica must seize this opportunity, as it is her only chance to bring Yuuki Yuki back to her side.

Helica remained silent, pursing her lips as she continued to move towards Yuuki Yuki, the distance between them growing ever closer until they were face to face.

But Helica still felt that she and Yuuki Yuuki were now in two different worlds. Yuuki Yuuki's face was mostly covered by a black umbrella, and almost no raindrops fell on her, while she herself looked like a drowned kitten, soaking wet.

It wasn't just a rain shower; something else was separating two people who were so close.

“Neither of them stopped you.” Yuuki Yui stated the obvious fact, raising the edge of the umbrella slightly so that Herika could see her face clearly.

"Why are you hanging out with those two?" Herika asked Yuuki En.

Yuuki Yukino couldn't help but chuckle at Helica's question: "The two of them? Together? You make it sound like they're some heinous villains."

Herlica glared fiercely at Yuuki Yui. The time for casual conversation was over, and she had no interest in engaging in these pointless questions and answers with Yuuki Yui in the rain, trying to figure out what her unique opinions were about the two of them.

Yuuki could tell at a glance that Helica didn't want to continue the conversation, so she suppressed the upturned corners of her mouth, slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were much calmer.
