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

Nishio Reki had to smooth things over, since she had already gotten something she wanted and was in a very good mood: "Didn't everyone come here today to accompany Xiaoyuan to see the admission notice from Higashino University? Let's not talk like that, let's get straight to the point, okay?"

"Okay." Baqi crossed her arms and sighed helplessly, then seemed to have discovered a new problem: "Where's the short, blond guy? Where did he go? Did someone step on him?"

As Baqi was talking and looking around, she suddenly felt a heavy blow to the back of her head. Although it was nothing for a magical girl, it still hurt.

"You stupid dog!"

Without Baqi even needing to look, Helica's voice came from behind her.

Ba Qi covered her head and turned away, not intimidated at all, and put her hands on her hips to retort: ​​"You blond shorty, on such an important day, where have you been all alone!"

Tenrai Herika glanced at Yuuki Yukina, who was standing to the side awkwardly laughing and clutching her collar, then vented all her anger on Inuyama Tomoe: "It's all because you're too slow! You're so bothered by these trivial things!"

Don't you care?

"How could I not care? No! That's not what I need to care about right now!"

Seeing his chance, Nishio Reki immediately chimed in, "That's right, everyone's here to help Yuan see the admission list. Honestly, the online list is even slower than the real one. If we didn't want to know sooner, who would be queuing up here?"

As Nishio Reki spoke, he pointed to the crowd standing busily in front of the two large bulletin boards, suggesting that it would probably take some effort to squeeze in.

"Ah, that's easy. I'll transform and fire two shots and there won't be anyone left, right? After all, I'm the official partner of the Pink Devil, so I still have that much intimidation power." Baqi hummed twice, and for some reason, she proudly raised her chin.

"Where did this setting come from?" Nishio Reki twitched his lips, looking utterly speechless.

"It's from the internet," Ba Qi replied confidently, as if this would allow her to regain her authority as the empress.

"You believe what's circulating online?"

"Forget whether you believe it or not, just tell me if it exists."

Tenrai Herika punched Inuyama Tomoe in the head again. This time, Nishio Reki saw it clearly: Tenrai Herika jumped up and hit him.

"Enough! Take back your terrible idea! Yuuki Yukino has already been accepted."

"Okay, okay, I take back my bad idea. Let's go and wait in line, okay?" If Inuyama Baki wanted to argue with Tenrai Herika, she didn't necessarily have to directly retort. Treating her like a child seemed to work particularly well with Herika; this was a truth she had learned through experience.

But then, Inuyama Tomoe couldn't hold back her deliberately feigned kindergarten teacher tone: "What? Yui got accepted?"

“Ah, right.” Tian Lei Helika held up her phone, which showed a blurry photo of a notice board area. At the bottom three-quarters of the photo, Yuki Yuki’s name and the major she was admitted to were clearly written: “Look, I’ve been photographed. Yuki Yuki, only one from Yuehai Middle School, Business Administration, the same major she applied for. Any questions?”

"Yes." Inuyama Tomoe raised her hand: "When did you watch it?"

"While you were nagging about what Yuuki Yuuki did last night, I squeezed in for a peek and took a picture, didn't I?" Helica put away her phone and clapped her hands as if she had done something great. "That's all. Let's go eat at a family restaurant."

"As expected of you, being short has its advantages!"

"Huh? Are you here to cause trouble?"

"Don't fight, don't fight! It's good news that Xiaoyuan got accepted! You two calm down."

"Calm down? I can't calm down at all!"

"Isn't that what I wanted to say, you blond dwarf!"

While they were arguing passionately, the girls heard a thud coming from behind them.

The girls quickly turned around, searching for the source of the sound.

There was actually no need to search. Although the crowd ahead was indeed very dense, the area where they were located was extremely spacious, and what had happened was obvious at a glance.

Yuki Yorimasa's knees buckled, and he collapsed to his knees on the ground, powerless.

Her eyes also began to quickly become empty.

Chapter 310 Our Summer and the Continuation of Daily Life

Just as the girls were arguing, Yuuki Yukino, who had been standing behind them without saying a word, suddenly had her knees buckle and fell to her knees with a thud.

The first person to run past was Tenrai Herika, who took advantage of her small size to reach Yuuki Yuuki's side in a few steps.

"Yuki Yuuki! Are you alright?!"

In fact, Helica arrived before she even had a chance to accelerate. The distance was so short that it took less than three seconds. As soon as Helica shouted those words, Nishio Reki and Baqi had already surrounded her.

"Yuki!" Nishio Reki squatted down and put his arm around Yuki Yuki's shoulder, wanting to pull her up from the ground, but he didn't dare to do so.

Inuyama Tomoe knelt down in front of Yuuki Yuuki, took her hand without saying a word, and began to examine the state of Yuuki Yuuki's magical power.

It remains stable, with no signs of any unusual changes.

But Yuuki Yuki's lips kept moving, as if she was trying to say something.

"Yuki, what do you want to say?" Baqi leaned closer to hear what Yuki had to say. Hearing this, Helica and Nishio Reki also bent down, trying their best to listen to what Yuki had to say.

"I...want...to...return it to me..."

The men's expressions grew even worse.

"think?"

"Together?"

"Give it back to me?"

Yuuki suddenly shoved the three people next to her away, but she didn't use much force. Even without considering that the three were magical girls, she couldn't hurt them at all.

"I wanted to see the final result with everyone! Why did they tell me such an ordinary result? Give me back the youth and emotions that I only have once in my life!"

Yuuki Yukino waved her fists, her tone tearful, but there was no trace of blame or sadness in her voice; instead, there was a hint of relief and smugness.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yes! It was that blond dwarf who did it! She doesn’t follow the rules! She broke the rules!” Baqi grabbed Tenrai Herika’s shoulder and shoved her in front of Yuuki Yuki.

"Weren't you guys too slow? No! If it weren't for what Nishio Reki did last night, would you have started arguing?!" Helica looked around helplessly, then subconsciously turned her attention to Nishio Reki, who was within her field of vision.

"No! What does this have to do with me?!" Standing there peacefully, Nishio Reki was first startled by Yuuki Yukino, then hit with another bullet. He pointed to himself, then to Baki behind Helica: "Isn't it her fault? If she hadn't started this, would we have argued? No, I didn't even argue!"

"Is it my fault? It's all your fault!"

"Shut up, you stupid dog! Looking at it this way, you're the one who's more in the wrong!"

"Actually, Helica shouldn't have gone to see it alone. She should have at least told us, right?"

"Nishio Reki! I'm speaking up for you!"

"You're the first person to accuse me!"

"Right, right? I was just saying a few words. This matter has little to do with me. If anyone is at fault, it's you two, blond shorty and dwarf."

The argument between the three people, which was not malicious and was more like a playful bickering, was escalating when it was loudly interrupted by Yuuki Yuki.

"enough!"

The three of them turned their heads in unison, blinking their innocent and harmless eyes at Yuuki Yukino.

"I thought I could still be a little moved, but now... you've ruined my last bit of emotion!" Yuuki Yui slapped her forehead and let out a mournful wail.

All was silent, except for passersby who looked at Yuuki Yukino with the kind of look one might give an idiot—no, they looked at all four of them.

After a long silence, Helica timidly raised her hand: "So, are we going to eat at a family restaurant?"

Yuuki Yui glared at Tenrai Herika with annoyance, which shut up the girl who usually bullied others.

Then, Yuuki Yukina patted the dust off her stockings and puffed out her cheeks.

"go."

……

"To celebrate Xiaoyuan's successful admission! Cheers!"

Inuyama Baki stood up, holding a glass filled with chilled juice (previously a beer mug), and raised it even higher towards the others sitting at the table.

"Cheers!" The others sitting around the long table also raised their glasses.

Only Yuuki Yukino, sitting in the main seat and surrounded by everyone, weakly raised her cup and whispered to Koreki next to her, "I mean, how did it turn out like this?"

Actually, everyone initially just planned to celebrate at a family restaurant, but Yuuki Yuki suggested telling her sister the good news, so she called Yuuki Tamaki.

Then, Baqi and Helica asked Yuuki Yuuki one after the other if they wanted to notify more people. Yuuki Yuuki replied listlessly that she had lost interest and that they should tell more people.

Incidentally, although Yuuki Yuki said that, her feigned nonchalance couldn't hide how excited she was at all.

Afterwards, Baqi contacted Hong Moli and Bai Gui Qianyou, Helika told everyone in the Rainbow Society, and Yuki Tamaki simply informed the few people in the Rose Garden out of a desire to show off.

Then, someone suggested having a celebration party, though it was unclear who started it—maybe it was Minato Nana, or maybe it was the queue-obsessed Helica from the sidelines.

After that, the group of people found an izakaya (Japanese pub).

Actually, there weren't that many people; it was just all the members of Nijisanji, plus the two members of Seiyuu, and all the members of Rozen.

That's right, all the members of the Rose Garden have come, including Hanzawa Kuriko, who looks similar to the other girls and is sitting at the very back.

After that battle, Hanzawa Kuriko, who had already made her appearance, became Minato Nana's spirit. Although she was invisible most of the time, she would create a body of her own using magic when needed, just like Yumehara Sumireko had done in the past.

No one really knows what happened to the members of the Rose Garden afterward, but their connections seem to be much stronger than before. After all, they were once a whole, and ten years later they reunited by various coincidences, which can be considered a kind of fate.

The relationship between Tamaki Yuuki and Hanzawa Kuriko remains somewhat delicate. It's not a matter of forgiveness or not; the adult world isn't all black and white. It's just that neither of them brings up the past anymore.

Speaking of Sumireko Yumehara, she was actually one of the members of this celebration, but she wasn't that familiar with everyone, and the usual Sumireko wasn't interested in these kinds of events, so she was placed on the game console in front of Yuuki Yuki and happily playing the new game of gorilla throwing bananas.

These were the invited members. Magical girls like Miya Miyashita and Rie Tsukimi, who could have been invited but had already returned to Hoshimi City to continue their daily lives, certainly couldn't come, but they still expressed their blessings via video call.

Yuuki Yui and the others never really had any deep-seated hatred for each other from the beginning, and they did indeed do a lot for Yuuki Yui, so their relationship was definitely not as strained as it was when they first left Yuehai City.

As for Rongshan Deng, she's the type of person who's familiar with everyone, but not the type who can sit at the same table with everyone. Inviting her over would actually be a bit awkward for her, so we decided to give up on her for now.

Magical girls like Saint Shion or the nuns of the sanctuary, who are acquainted but definitely not in a relationship to sit together, are of course not invited.

They were still doing what they were supposed to do. Seishin and Kuroba Laise were just ordinary students. According to Hong Moli, Seishin decided to leave Yuehai City and go to university elsewhere. Kuroba Laise was the type who would follow Seishin wherever she went.

Although no one really likes Kuroba Laishi, her grades really allow her to choose any university in the country. It wouldn't be difficult for her to stay by Seishin's side, so she could be considered to have found a home.

The nuns at the church still work under Mashiro Urokin, and Mashiro Urokin and Asahi Yaya are still working as their headmistresses at Seiyuu. Nothing has changed.

If everything could proceed smoothly like this, that would be wonderful.

……

The celebration banquet lasted a long time. The five people from Rose Garden decided to find a small shop for a second round of adult time. Hong Moli and Bai Gui Qianyou said goodbye to everyone, and Mizuno Yu and Sakura Hanako also left.

Like a grand firework display, its glory faded after the explosion, leaving only scattered fragments in the darkness to testify to its former splendor.

Yuuki Enishi looked up at the dim Milky Way and let out a soft sigh, which was immediately drowned out by the chirping of cicadas in the grass.

"Are we graduating too?"
