Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret - Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret chapter 16

16. Yuyou’s Consideration

“Hmm… Wuyue, you should elaborate a bit more.”

“I need to confirm what you both said to each other.”

“……If you really want to know, fine.”

With a flushed face, Wuyue sighed and laid out all the details of their conversation.

After listening to Wuyue, Yuyou had a rough idea of what had transpired.

“……It seems I was overthinking it; it’s just a clash of ‘ideals,’ nothing unusual.”

With a sigh of relief, Youyu said to Wuyue.

From the conversation between Wuyue and Baiyu just now, he speculated that Baiyu must have gone through something in the past, which led her to persuade Wuyue to distance herself from him.

However, Wuyue didn’t comply with her wishes; instead, she spouted a bunch of grand principles, which caused Baiyu to “break down.”

It must have been something in those words that struck a chord with her.

Hmm… looks like another troublesome character.

“After we go back… let’s find Mamba to gather some information about Baiyu.”

Deciding this in his mind, Youyu said to Wuyue:

“Let’s go for a stroll first. You mentioned there’s a food place you really wanted to visit, right? How about we go there now? If we wait too long, there might not be any spots left.”

“……Huh?”

Seemingly puzzled by Youyu’s behavior, Wuyue paused for a moment. Once she processed it, she asked with a mix of happiness and confusion:

“Um… Youyu, isn’t the most pressing matter that person? Plus, she still owes you money…”

“……You still remember that?”

After a helpless smile, Youyu thought for a moment, then placed his right hand on her head and gently patted it, saying:

“Alright, alright… I won’t forget about that. We’ll settle the score with her later.”

“The most important thing right now is to make you happy, isn’t it?”

“And… we did agree to hang out today, but I ended up delaying you because of work. I’m really sorry about that.”

“Hehe… it’s not a big deal! I’m not mad, you know? I’ve always understood you, Youyu~”

Enjoying Youyu’s touch, Wuyue couldn’t help but nuzzle her head against his hand, showing a relaxed expression.

“……”

It’s only after he uses this tactic that she can pull herself out of her unhappy state.

After a while of petting, Youyu stopped and said:

“Alright, let’s hurry over there; otherwise, we might not have enough seats.”

“……Even though it’s Saturday, there shouldn’t be that many people… can’t we just stay like this a bit longer?”

“……There will be plenty of chances in the future; let’s go.”

“Oh~”

Seeing that Youyu had really withdrawn his hand and was ready to leave, Wuyue quickly followed, revealing a look of regret.

Sigh~ If only I could be petted a little longer…

After arriving at the food restaurant.

Yuyu and Wuyue found a spot to sit down, and after ordering a few dishes that she loved, as well as some that he enjoyed, he excused himself from the table to go to the restroom.

“…Right over there.”

Fortunately, the restaurant was clean and didn’t smell bad, so after a bit of searching, Yuyu found the most secluded spot.

Once he reached that spot, Yuyu closed the door and began to communicate with the Mamba inside his mind:

“Mamba, are you still there?”

“I’ve been watching you all along, Yuyu. Let me guess, you want to ask about that Bai Yu thing, right?”

“Yeah… indeed, how much do you know about Bai Yu and the magical girl Blue Night?”

“Let me think…”

After pondering for a moment and organizing his words, Mamba spoke up:

“The magical girl Blue Night appeared before the magical girl Firebird. Before that, she had been fighting alongside us in the ‘Negative World.’”

“…Another new term has popped up. What exactly is this ‘Negative World’ you’re talking about? Is it a special space? Or some kind of unique dimension?”

“…It’s not as exaggerated as you think. The ‘Negative World’ we refer to is a plan that operates in the shadows, collecting negative emotions without appearing in front of the public.”

“Generally, the targets of this plan are those who already harbor a lot of negative emotions. While we could collect them discreetly without intervening, if we don’t personally interfere, the amount of negative emotions generated by humans themselves is simply too little.”

“So, your ‘Negative World’ plan means to intervene in situations where they already have negative emotions?”

“Yeah, because that way, we can gather even more negative emotions.”

“Although it still doesn’t compare to the kind of negative emotions obtained by dragging someone into ‘despair’… it’s still barely enough.”

“Our original goal was to launch an attack on the human world after collecting a sufficient amount of negative emotions.”

“But… the emergence of the magical girl Blue Night has hindered the development of our plan.”

“So… we’ve been held back by her for a long, long time…”

“Until now… I’ve been kicked out by those ungrateful beings.”

At this point, Mamba’s tone gradually turned angry.

“If it weren’t for her, I would have become stronger long ago!”

“Uh… alright, alright, I understand how you feel. Just calm down, okay?”

Listening to Mamba cursing in his mind, Yuyu couldn’t help but feel a mix of helplessness and amusement.

You’re cursing Bai Yu, but she can’t hear you… instead, I’m the one getting annoyed. What’s the point of this training?

Seemingly aware of the inappropriateness of his behavior, Mamba finally calmed down after a bout of cursing and said seriously to Yuyu:

“I’ve made up my mind! Yuyu! There’s something… you must accomplish!”

“Alright, alright, I can guess. You want the magical girl Blue Night to ‘regret for life,’ right? I’ll do my best… I’m just thinking about how to go about it now…”

“No! You’ve missed a point!”

Shaking his head, Mamba denied his statement.

“Besides making her ‘regret for a lifetime’ as the most fundamental goal… you also need to give her the most painful lesson!”

“Better yet… directly shatter her beliefs!”

“No matter what method is used…”

“Alright, alright, I understand.”

“But this will take some time, so don’t rush it. Just wait patiently.”

“Hmm, then I’ll leave it to you, Youyu.”

“I believe… with your identity as the strongest villain, handling her shouldn’t be a problem.”

“What strongest villain…”

With a helpless smile and a shake of his head, Youyu left the restroom and walked towards the spot he and Wuyue had chosen.

“Give her a lesson, huh…”

If it’s Mamba’s order, then not doing it might lead to its nagging.

Though it might not matter much, it could still be a bit troublesome.

“Then I can consider it…”

“When will the Snake Knight make an appearance…”
