Tokyo, there are too many defeated magical girls.

"Ah this."

Rinko Mizushiro, who had just made her move, was completely stunned.

The last time I saw such heartbroken tears on my mother's face...

Still in the hospital, I heard the devastating news from the doctor that the cancer had spread throughout my body.

At that moment, my mother cried silently, but with her last bit of strength, she gently stroked her head.

"mom……"

When Rinko Mizushiro recalled this scene, her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife, and she could hardly breathe.

The next second, an even more moving scene unfolded.

—As it turns out, Mieko really wanted to start a new life.

Even when facing Rinko, he held nothing back and chose the most humble way to beg: to kneel in supplication.

"Just this once, I'm begging you! I'll make it up to you however I can afterwards, Rinko!!!"

"mom!!!"

Seeing her mother kneeling in reverence, Mizushiro Rinko was struck dumb, her reaction was terrifyingly strong.

His legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the floor in the corridor.

It's no exaggeration to say that she completely broke down.

Finally, as if his soul had been stolen, he nodded stiffly.

"up to you……"

“…Wu?”

"Tomorrow night, it's up to you. Just wear a yukata..."

Rinko Mizushiro spoke slowly in an extremely weak voice.

The fact that she could hold on to her last shred of reason and not faint is enough to demonstrate her strong mental fortitude.

To fulfill Mother's wish and give her an authentic summer festival experience.

But she must not be allowed to realize that her own daughter is the Fallen Rose.

In other words, Lin Chun's side also needs to be taken care of in advance.

It's difficult...

But there's no other way...

Who told me to have such a willful mother...

"I will help you fulfill your wish, Mom."

"Ugh! Rinko, I knew I didn't give birth to you for nothing!!!"

"Goooo~"

Once pulled into the most familiar embrace, even the most unhappy daughter can only obediently submit.

84.The Demon King’s New Mission

--Ding!

Walking into the deepest part of the den of iniquity, the notification sound from my phone in my pocket sounded exceptionally clear.

Lin Chun took it out and found that it was a message from Mizuki Rinko.

Moreover, there's more than one.

[I don't want to be associated with villainous organizations or magical girls during tomorrow night's summer fireworks festival, and I don't want to discuss those things.]

Please treat us as a third blind date; keep things within bounds and avoid anything too intense.

If I behave abnormally, it's all part of a performance to pique your interest. Please cooperate, thank you.

"Huh? Is this some kind of bizarre rule?"

Lin Chun was completely confused and couldn't help but frown.

It took me a few seconds to barely grasp what Rinko Mizushiro meant.

They pretended that they were just blind date partners meeting for the third time and were still in the stage of mutual attraction.

This summer fireworks festival will mostly involve kissing and whispering sweet nothings while cuddling.

As for what happened with [Fallen Rose], it can never be mentioned again.

"It's really troublesome."

Lin Chun showed an unhappy expression.

At this moment, he even wanted to ask the little succubus leading the way for a tool to severely punish this guy.

She was the one who invited me to the summer fireworks festival, so why all these rules? It's such a downer.

But soon, new messages arrived.

If you're willing to give me a pure and innocent date, I'm willing to grant you one wish, no matter how shameful it may be.

"Oh huh?"

Upon seeing this message, Lin Chun paused slightly, stopping in his tracks.

Admittedly, now she can do whatever she wants with the Magic Rose whenever she wants...

But the fact that she did it willingly was truly unprecedented.

It goes without saying that it must have a unique charm.

"Is a purely romantic date really that alluring? How dare you tempt me like this..."

Lin Chun thought for a moment and simply replied with "OK".

Then, I opened my phone's photo album, where I found a promotional page for the summer fireworks festival.

It is said that in the final stage, dreamy cherry blossom pink fireworks will illuminate the entire riverbank, like ten thousand cherry blossom trees in full bloom.

A kiss in a beautiful atmosphere can seal a lifelong bond and lead to growing old together.

—Influenced by this kind of advertising, those who spend tens of thousands of yen to buy paid seats are mostly young couples.

In addition, popular idol Sakura Hatano will also be coming to shoot photos for her new album.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Now, looking at this flyer, Lin Chun is actually quite looking forward to it.

"We're almost at the Demon King's Hall, why aren't we moving... Oh, so you're interested in this too?"

She walked forward for more than ten meters before realizing that Lin Chun hadn't followed, and the little succubus cadre walked back in confusion.

The height difference meant her face was right next to the phone screen.

As a result, the promotional page above immediately caught my eye.

"What do you mean I watch this too?"

"Hmm, you'll see in a minute~"

The little succubus took his left hand, half-coaxing and half-pulling, and led him to the entrance of the Demon King's palace.

"Well……"

Lin Chun frowned slightly.

Being suddenly informed by Lillian late at night that the Demon King was summoning him was already a bad sign.

The statement just made is undoubtedly even worse.

He silently put his phone in his pocket and followed the little succubus into the main hall.

"Please wait here for a moment, I will go and inform His Majesty immediately."

Just like last time, Vivian let go of the small hand and walked quickly up to the platform by herself.

Her tiny, milk-white feet, stepping onto the cold marble steps, turned a strawberry-red color from the cold.

Its pitiful silhouette evokes an urge to get close and breathe hot air on it.

She eventually came to the throne.

A spell was chanted, and a ball of pitch-black flame appeared out of nothing and began to burn fiercely.

A deep, authoritative voice emanated from within.

"Minister Lin Chun."

"I am here, Your Majesty the Demon King."
