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

Now she knows where that loud noise came from.

In a sense, isn't my current situation also unsafe?

"Hey!"

Helica jumped down from the windowsill and put down the shoes she was carrying: "Yuan! I've come to play with you!"

"Ah... hahaha, we just..." Yuuki Yuuki chuckled dryly a few times.

"What does it matter!" Helica chuckled foolishly, then pounced on Yuuki Yuuki and knocked her down onto the bed, burying her head in Yuuki Yuuki's chest before lifting it up again.

"Today, after hearing what Mashiro Urobuchi said, I'm actually a little tempted too, actually I also..."

Before Helica could finish speaking, the sound of the door lock turning rang out.

good chance!

Although my older sister would have gone to start a second round with the other members of the Rose Garden as originally planned, according to that butterfly effect, she might just come back!

Although I feel a little sorry for Helica, at least I won't have to go through that ordeal again tonight.

Yuuki looked towards the door with hopeful eyes, expecting her sister to save her from the predicament.

However, Yuuki Yukino heard a sound that was completely different from what she had imagined.

"Little Leng San Ba ​​Yuan! Are you asleep~"

Then came the sound of slippers, and then, in the darkness, Nishio Reki cautiously slipped into his room.

"Ah... Korechika..." Yuuki Yukina raised her hand as a greeting: "How come you have a key to my house?"

“When Yuuki ran away from home, Tamaki-neechan also gave me a hand.” Nishio Reki answered very naturally, and then saw Yuuki lying on the bed and Tenrai Herika snuggling on Yuuki, and immediately screamed.

"Helica the Thunder! You bastard!"

"You! You came too! How dare you talk to me like that!" Tenrai Herika jumped up as if she had been electrocuted, pointing at Nishio Reki and stammering.

"Never mind." Nishio Reki sighed, "Anyway, Inuyama Tomoe..."

Click.

In front of Yuuki Yukino's wardrobe, a small spatial rift quietly opened.

Dressed in a white military uniform with a silly grin on her face, Inuyama Hatsuki hopped out of the spatial rift, carrying her gleaming gun blade.

"Xiaoyuan~ I..."

Before she could finish speaking, she spotted Helica standing by the window.

"Ah! You blond dwarf!" Inuyama Tomoe pointed her gun blade, her eyes also catching sight of the person standing in the doorway: "Ah! Nishio Reki!"

Yuuki Yukino was at a loss for words, and waved to Tomoe, "Ahaha... Tomoe, what a coincidence!"

Baqi glanced again at Yuki Yuki's nearly empty clothes, then looked at the two remaining people.

"You two! Why did you start!"

"You idiot! Don't slander her! She had already taken her clothes off when I arrived!"

"Don't look at me! I arrived even later than Helica! As soon as I walked in, I saw her and Xiaoyuan hugging each other!"

The noise lasted for a while before finally stopping after Yuuki Yuki's angry rebuke.

But the girls all seemed to have something to say.

The atmosphere instantly returned to that of the last stretch of road before they parted ways.

"Xiao Yuan".

"Yuki Yuen".

"Xiao Yuan".

The three of them spoke at almost the same time, and then shut their mouths at the same time.

"You yellow-haired dwarf, you go first!"

"Let Nishio Reki say that she and Yuuki Yuuki are closer."

"I...I don't know what to say."

The argument, which wasn't really a dispute, was followed by a brief silence.

In the end, it was the impatient Helica who spoke first.

"Yuki Yui, you said before that you would give me an answer after everything was over. I know I should wait, but I'm very curious, very curious about that answer... I... really like you, so I want to know your feelings."

After Helica the Thunder, Nishio Reki cleared his throat.

"Xiaoyuan, seeing you... seeing everyone safe and sound, I should feel satisfied, right? But deep down, I want more. I want to take things a step further with you... I don't know what your answer will be."

After that, everyone fell silent again.

Inuyama Tomoe used her clapping to prepare for her upcoming speech, even though it consisted of only one sentence.

"Xiaoyuan, when will you marry me?"

"Ah... well..." Yuuki Yui deliberately looked away. "How about... we talk about it later?"

"no!"

"Can't!"

"Say it now!"

This is a battlefield! Wow! I don't want this kind of battlefield!

However, Yuuki Yukino's answer seemed quite clear in her heart.

True relationships are about feeling comfortable with each other, not about becoming a burden to others.

Actually, I had already found the answer a long time ago, but for various reasons, I had never been able to properly express the answer that I wanted to give to all three people at the same time.

Then just say it, the answer that you'll never regret.

Actually, she still felt regret. Although Yuuki Yukino didn't know it at the time, in the countless years that followed, every time Yuuki Yukino was tormented to the point of death by the three of them in turn or even together, she would regret what she said on that day.

But that's a matter for the future. At least when Yuuki Yuki said those words, she was extremely serious, and everyone agreed with her.

"actually……"

Yuuki Yukino hooked her finger and scratched her cheek.

I like everyone!

Author's Closing Remarks

Hello everyone, I'm Wanwan.

Thank you so much to all the readers who have made it this far. It is now May 10, 2025, and I am writing this closing statement here.

After a year and a half, Wanwan's first truly meaningful work came to an abrupt end.

Why I wrote this book and what I went through have already been explained in detail in the reader group and in the notes between chapters, so I won't go into details here.

In short, it is a miracle, a miracle created by an ordinary person pursuing their dreams that they never dared to imagine.

More than three million words! When I started the book, I never imagined I would write so much. It's truly a miracle, and it's very likely that such a miracle will never happen again.

My writing style isn't really suited for light platforms or online novels. I encountered many pitfalls during my first attempt at writing, and looking back now, I realize I made quite a few mistakes. I'm grateful for the understanding of all my readers.

Bowl is also a lazy author, often failing to update on time, and later his update schedule became a complete mess.

I think that's about enough for the closing remarks. What I really want to talk about is sharing some of my thoughts during the creative process.

First of all, the original title of this book, or rather the title submitted internally, was "The Villainous Magical Girl Who Just Wants to Clear Her Name Is Super Popular." In fact, I had forgotten that this was the original title I came up with.

Then, the initial creative concept was: the protagonist wants to redeem himself but repeatedly fails, thus becoming the villainous BOSS in a comedic way.

Yes, that's right, it's completely different from the final version, right?

The original official pairings were: a masochist, a loyal dog, and the bespectacled girl who lived next door to the protagonist.

Oh right, apart from the author's adorable, genius, silly, and sunny little girl, Baqi, the other two were kicked out. Of course, their prototypes are also obvious: our Mizuno Yu and our Hayashi Yu.

But actually, most of Miss Lin's original role was given to Xiao Li, while the role of the short, blond guy, which Wan really liked and even overemphasized, was suddenly decided.

In other words, the initial story is a lighthearted tale about the villainous leader Xiao Yuan, a cute puppy, a little vampire, and a little ghost—a group of four villains.

Well, how should I put it? It was definitely influenced by my dream of becoming a magical girl. I might mention the details later.

Okay, that's the story and the original plan before we started our journey.

Now, let's talk about our characters.

First and foremost, of course, is the protagonist of this work, Yuuki Yukino.

I can say with certainty that Yuuki Yuki is the worst-developed character in the book, without exception. My own lack of writing skill made the characterization of this protagonist a complete mess.

So what's sewn onto this character's body? Let's start with the name: When talking about magical girls, there are a few works that can't be avoided, such as Yuuki Yuna is a hero, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

That's right, that's how the name was spelled, and it shares the same name as Kotobukiya's first model, the "Sai Sosai Shoujo Garden" series, which is called "Kiseki-en".

Of course, the ending of the story, which was only revealed at the very end, was all the little things, whether they were clever ideas or not, that I added little by little later.

Oh, by the way, although A-B's singer Xiao Yuan is also a pink-haired girl, I haven't really considered that aspect.

Next up is the author's own daughter, the super cute, genius, silly little sun dog, Shanbaqi.

The character of Baqi is actually very similar to that of the leopard in the Demon Slayer series, but there are also many differences. Originally, Baqi was the villain in Volume 1 of the second outline, but because she was so cute, she successfully regained her position as the main heroine.

The surname Inuyama is entirely original, I guess? I was originally considering whether to use Inukai, but after thinking about it, it doesn't feel as natural as Inuyama.

As for Baqi, it uses the Japanese word "ki," which means tooth. As for why the word "Baqi" is used, we have to mention our Ah B's signature funny female teacher, Baqi.

This should be where I put Mr. Ba's homepage, but I'm too lazy to do it, so I'll just pretend I do.

In short, there will definitely be a lot of content related to V in the following sections, after all, Wan is a person who rarely takes care of others.

Baqi's character design is actually quite easy to write. Just focus on two points: Xiaoyuan's favorite and a genius little sun.

The image after the god's liberation is based on the PVP equipment obtained in Final Fantasy XIV, the Commander's Top, while the wand is simply the gunblade, a common weapon in Final Fantasy.

So, the third one is our poor little black-haired Ms. Nishio Reki.

The name Nishio Koyomi is derived from the surname of Nishio Isin, a Japanese author I personally admire. The fact that Araragi Koyomi shares the same name is purely coincidental. In the original concept, Koyomi was indeed able to record history, which is why he carries so many magic wands.

However, this setting was later changed by the bowl, and it became that magical girls who wanted to contribute in countless reincarnations voluntarily offered their power, but the name did not change.
