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

This is not a difficult thing. School, class, biography—in this age of advanced internet, many things can be easily found if you are willing to look.

Of course, this information also includes Yuuki Yuuki's interpersonal relationships.

However, after investigating everything, Koumori discovered that she knew nothing about Yuuki Yuuki.

Not long ago, Yuuki Eri, who looked like a victim at the top of the Moon Sea Tower, made Koumori sense a dangerous aura.

"what do you……"

"Lin! Could you come over here for a moment?"

Yuuki Yui didn't even listen to Koumori's question. She stood up, waved her arms, and called out loudly to the bespectacled girl in a swimsuit over there.

"Huh? Ah?!" The girl, startled by Yuuki Yui's greeting, trembled all over. Wearing mall slippers, she awkwardly leaned against Yuuki Yui, covering her chest and lower body with her arms.

When Lin Jiezi saw Hong Moli, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Huh? Her, oh, ah! How could it be... her..."

Does this girl know me? A cold sweat broke out on Hong Moli's back.

Hong Moli never underestimates anyone, not even Lin Jiezi, whom she sees as eccentric and easily startled.

If the other party knew about me, would they also know about Hyakki Senyou, and even about my relationship with Senyou?

Yuuki Yukino asked the question for her without her having to confirm it herself.

"Do you know her, Lin?"

"Yes, yes! She, she is!" Lin Jiezi nodded vigorously, stammering for a long time without being able to utter a single word.

"Don't rush, slowly say her name," Yuuki Yuen coaxed patiently.

"Red...red red...red jasmine..."

Koumori couldn't contain her surprise and stiffly turned her neck to look at Yuuki Yukino beside her.

Yuki Yorimasa deepened the enigmatic smile on his face with an air of composure.

Although Hong Moli attends St. Yuu Academy, she is unremarkable in every aspect except for her academic performance. Very few people know her, and apart from her classmates, most people only know that there is such a student.

Even her life outside of school is almost entirely filled with matters related to the corrupted magical girl, so no one should recognize her.

However, the girl that Yuuki Yuki randomly summoned could accurately say her name.

Is this a way of implying to myself that this child is also a magical girl?

Hong Mo Li doesn't care about fighting two against one, but if this child is also a magical girl, then her mission to execute Yuuki Yukino might not be so easy to complete.

Another very important point is that if one's partner is a magical girl, Yuuki Yuuki will not have to worry about revealing her identity in front of her friends, and the plan to make Yuuki Yuuki surrender without transforming will completely fall through.

The bespectacled girl standing in front of him was wearing a revealing swimsuit, but he couldn't see any black magic patterns. Perhaps Yuuki Yuki was bluffing.

I can't let myself be scared like this.

While Hong Moli was caught in self-doubt, Helica, whose toy—no, her companion who had gone shopping with her—was called away, also came over.

"Who is this guy...?"

Was this person just bluffing because they didn't recognize her? Hong Moli regained some confidence.

“Just like us.” Yuuki Yui said this, but her cunning gaze fell on Koumori again, staring at Koumori’s chest through her clothes—the location of the black magic mark on her collarbone.

"We"? Does that mean magical girls?

Helica followed Yuuki Yuuki's gaze and looked over, then suddenly realized what was going on. She slapped her palm and exclaimed, "Oh, so that's how it is!"

Did the short, blond man realize that too?

Koumori felt that things were getting more and more serious. She had never imagined that there were two magical girls around Yuuki Yukino that she didn't know about.

"Should we call Mizuno Yu over too? Have her help out?"

Wait, they're calling a fourth person too? Doesn't that mean all four of them are magical girls?

One Yuuki Yuki is not a threat, two magical girls might require some effort but could still be defeated, but three or four, Koumori doesn't have the confidence to win, and might even lose herself.

A magical girl who associates with Yuuki Yuuki must also be a fallen magical girl.

The corrupted magical girls in this city should have all been eliminated by now, so how did Yuuki manage to gather so many undetected people around her right under her nose and even the president's?

The issue now isn't whether or not to resolve the problem with Yuuki Yuki. Not only does Yuuki Yuki know information about herself and Hyakki Chiyuu, but she can also form a small group of magical girls. If she doesn't report such a big matter to the student council president, Koumari doesn't dare to make a decision on her own.

"It depends on what she thinks," Yuuki Yui said, giving Hong Moli a meaningful once-over. "So? Do you want to continue?"

Hongmo finally understood why Yuuki Yukino was so fearless.

"No need!" Hong Moli completely abandoned the idea of ​​fighting, pushed herself up from her seat with her hands on her knees:

"But I will come again."

“Isn’t today pretty good too?” Helica asked.

How dare he still have the mind to provoke?

Hong Moli paused, suppressed her displeasure, and quickened her pace to leave the swimsuit area.

"What's wrong with this child?" Watching Hong Moli's figure disappear, Helica frowned and patted Lin Jiezi, who was babbling beside her: "Isn't she planning to buy a swimsuit?"

Yuuki Yukina let out a long breath and glanced at the spot where Koumori had left.

"Who knows?"

Chapter Twenty-Three: Tonight is likely to be another sleepless night.

Having bought their swimsuits, the Rainbow Club's group activity for the day came to an end, and the members each took their favorite swimsuits home.

If Helica really insisted on buying a swimsuit and going straight to the beach today, Yuuki Yuki thought she would definitely die out there. But thankfully, buying a swimsuit had already taken up enough of Helica's energy.

Even Helica doesn't have unlimited energy.

Yuki En still can't completely believe whether Lin Jiezi is truly harmless. Lin Jiezi knows that the development of the plot is a hidden danger no matter how you look at it, but in today's emergency, she can only make a slight use of Lin Jiezi's God's perspective after reading the script.

Using Lin Jiezi was indeed a bit risky, but Yuuki Yukino absolutely could not start a war with Hong Moli in such a place.

Afterwards, Yuuki Yukino struggled with the decision for a long time without explaining anything to Rin Jiezi.

Lin Jiezi is socially awkward, but not stupid. My unnecessary behavior will likely be seen by Lin Jiezi as an attempt to cover up the truth.

Hong Mali was right about one thing: Yuuki Yuuki was indeed afraid to transform, and she had indeed grasped Yuuki Yuuki's weakness.

However, she was also exploited by Yuuki Yuri's weakness. If the person who came was not Koumori, she would not have been so vigilant, and Yuuki Yuri's bluffing tactic might not have worked.

After parting ways with everyone and returning home, Yuuki Yukino slept soundly for a whole day, only getting out of bed in the evening.

To prevent a sudden attack by Koumori, Yuuki Yuuki even called Tomoe to keep watch for her, even though sleeping during the day doesn't count as keeping watch.

After waking up, Yuuki told Baqi what had happened that day.

"So, you went to buy swimsuits with them today?" This was the first question Baqi asked.

That's not the point!

"Did you go?" Baqi stared intently at Yuuki Yuki.

"I'm going." Yuuki Yui felt uneasy being stared at and turned her face away.

"Damn it! I want to go swimsuit shopping with Xiaoyuan too! Didn't we just go to the beach yesterday?! Xiaoyuan, you heartbreaker!"

Baqi cried out in pain and lunged forward, grabbing Yuuki Eri's shoulders and shaking her violently.

"Were you even listening to me?! It's all because of what happened yesterday! The heavy rain yesterday is being blamed on both of us!"

"That's easy, I'll just pay some people to control the comments." Ba Qi casually brushed it off.

Don't suddenly display your useless money power at a time like this.

"Besides, I didn't try on the clothes! If I did, the black magic pattern would be visible!" Yuuki Yuen explained.

“It seems that’s indeed the case.” Baqi lifted up Yuuki Yuen’s clothes and poked the black magic pattern with her finger several times until Yuuki Yuen slapped her hand away, her face flushed red.

"In other words, Xiaoyuan's identity was discovered by Hong Moli, who even declared that she would kill Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyuan came up with a clever plan that allowed her to avoid being exposed or in danger."

Now, let's get back to the main point.

Yes, that's right.

"Doesn't Xiaoyuan think it's dangerous to always hang out with those short, blond girls? You have to hide your identity and they keep chasing you around."

Baqi casually sprawled on the bed and rolled over next to Yuuki Yuki.

“Of course it’s dangerous, but if we want to solve the problem of the Black Demon Mark once and for all, it’s necessary to make contact with them.” Yuuki Yuen lay on the bed with her arms outstretched.

“That’s true.” Baqi proactively rested her head on Yuuki Yuen’s arm and snuggled closer to him. “Why don’t we just stop? It’s fine as it is with Yuen right now.”

"What's so good about it! I almost got killed by your nice junior classmate today!" Yuuki Yuen feigned annoyance and poked Baqi's cheek: "Don't you even think about whose fault it is that I have black magic markings on my body?"

Yuuki Yukino no longer cared about Tomoe's influence on her, otherwise she wouldn't often bring it up as a joke between the two of them.

However, Yuuki Yukino was still very concerned about the mysterious person.

The mysterious person's unusually quiet demeanor during this period made Yuuki Yuen suspect that the other party was secretly plotting something.

If it were Yuuki Yuuki in the past, she would have been careful to hide her identity and power in order to clear her name, and there would be no way she would so brazenly change her appearance and swagger through the city.

Fighting while carrying a speaker doesn't count; that's just one way to conceal one's identity.

Because she's worried about the mysterious time traveler, Yuuki Yuuki has become very carefree about her magical girl life.

The principle of "use it or lose it" applies here. Since we already have this ability, there's nothing wrong with using it more. What if we keep doing things without practicing and then lack the ability when we need to use it?

Yuki had mentioned these things to Baqi, and Baqi accepted them very happily.

"Hmm? Whose fault is it? Whose fault is it?" Baqi didn't react, so Yuuki Yukino poked her a few more times.

"It's me, it's me, it's all my fault!" While admitting her mistake verbally, Baqi playfully poked Yuuki Yuki back.

"What are you doing! It's clearly your fault! How dare you fight back!" Yuuki Yuuki flipped over and pinned Baqi down, her hands constantly tickling her waist.

"Xiaoyuan is too rigid!" Baqi retorted, and the two of them started playfully wrestling on the bed.

During the playful fight, Ba Qi's clothes were inevitably crumpled, revealing her collarbone and half of her shoulder from the neckline. Her messy silver hair flowed like a stream across the bed, and her slightly turned face left her fair neck, which connected to her shoulder, completely exposed.

The breaths that hadn't quite caught after the playful fight caused Baqi's body to rise and fall slightly, and Yuuki Emi, who was straddling Baqi's waist, could clearly feel the trembling beneath her.

The beads of sweat and the lingering flush on her cheeks seemed to turn even redder as she looked up at Yuuki Yukino's momentarily stunned expression.

Yuuki, who was standing on top of Baqi, covered her ripe face with her arm and turned her head away.
