Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret - Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret chapter 3

3. Come Live at My Place!

“I really can’t believe this…”

Touching his forehead, Youyu sighed as he woke up from his unconscious state, propping himself up and slowly shifting from a lying position to sitting up.

He truly hadn’t expected that the frequency of that “judgment” thunder was so fast, as if it were a certain platinum O-star battling the world, striking him continuously, while also allowing him to experience the treatment of a “lover.”

What can I say? I can only say that Mamba truly lives up to the title of the Thunder King; the physical prowess he has granted me is undeniably impressive.

However, the pain is still pain, after all, since I don’t possess any ability to dull my senses.

“You’re awake? How do you feel?”

“…Mamba, do you think I look good?”

“…Sorry, I didn’t anticipate that. I thought you would be able to endure it like I did.”

“Then why can’t you take the hit for me?”

“It’s fine, I’m just as dizzy as you are.”

“So it’s my fault then? You’re really something.”

With a helpless complaint, Yuu began to observe his surroundings—like the bed he was lying on, the wardrobe beside him, the table where things were placed, and the door along with the window next to it.

Clearly, he was in some kind of room. Hmm… thinking back carefully, in the last moment before his consciousness faded, it seemed he had been thrown into the sky above Earth and then fell down.

So, has someone picked him up?

Just as Yuu was pondering this, the door to the room suddenly creaked open.

“Creak—”

Entering was a girl with her hair tied up, wearing an apron, and holding a bowl of rice porridge.

Noticing that Yuu was awake, surprise flickered in her blue eyes, and then she smiled brightly at him, quickly walking over and saying:

“Ah! You’re awake? Hurry, hurry! I just made a pot of porridge; you should drink it now!”

“Uh… well, thank you?”

Caught off guard by the girl’s enthusiasm, Yuu hesitated for a moment. Although he had his doubts, he still accepted the bowl of porridge and placed it on the table beside him.

“Hey~ aren’t you going to eat?”

“Sorry, I just woke up, and I’m not feeling very hungry.”

“Oh~ I see~”

The girl in front of him nodded, seemingly understanding yet not quite, looking adorably clueless… her denseness was quite overwhelming.

So, is this girl the one who picked him up?

As Yuu was contemplating this, Mamba, who was inside him, suddenly called out first, clearly agitated:

“This! This woman, I know her! She’s the magical girl Firebird, the one who has thwarted me many times!”

“…Huh? So I’ve been picked up by a magical girl? What a coincidence that is.”

“…Let’s not talk about that for now.”

Mamba’s tone grew increasingly furious:

“Right now, she hasn’t gained that power yet, so! You must kill her now to eliminate future troubles!”

After all, in the previous timelines, Mamba had never encountered such a good opportunity to kill them before they transformed.

And if this time it actually encounters Him…

Then it must be firmly grasped!

“Calm down a bit, can you? If you act now, won’t you just provoke some big shot? Just like in the animations, magical girls always have a strong backing…”

“But she hasn’t become one yet!”

“No, no, no! You don’t understand, all magical girls, at the moment the timeline is set, no matter what, their fate cannot be changed. It’s just like how you’ve always wanted to defeat them, yet have never succeeded.”

“If we forcibly change their ‘fate,’ then we might face irreversible consequences…”

“…Is that really the case?”

“It is.”

Yuu thought this to Mamba in his heart.

Although in reality, this was just a fabrication, and there were serious logical flaws in it.

But it didn’t matter; as long as he could deceive her, that was enough. After all, Mamba was quite naive in their exchanges, and this little bit of rhetoric was sufficient.

No matter what, even if he were to play the villain, he wouldn’t commit any murderous acts; his values were quite upright!

After all, he was also forced into this, so he could only choose a gentler approach in such an environment.

“Um… are you okay?”

“Ah! Cough cough cough! I’m fine, I’m fine!”

Pulled back from her daze by the girl’s confused tone, Yuu took a sip of the porridge on the table and smiled as he said:

“Thank you for picking me up. I was suffering from heatstroke at that time, so I fainted by the roadside. If it weren’t for you, I can’t even imagine what I’d be like now…”

“Eh? But it seems like you fell from the sky, right? ‘Boom—’ it was really loud! And you have so many wounds that I don’t even know how you got them!”

“Oh~ that was just a parachute failure.”

“Eh?”

After saying this without changing his expression, ignoring the girl’s look as if her CPU had burned out, he continued:

“My name is Yuu, what’s yours?”

“Name? I’m called Wuyue!”

“Wuyue, hmm, nice name.”

Smiling, Yuu continued:

“Then I’ll remember your life-saving grace.”

“Eh? Life-saving grace? That’s a bit too much, right? I just saw you were injured all over, so I brought you home… really, you don’t need to thank me!”

Though she spoke such modest words, Wuyue’s bashful touch to the back of her head and her giggles were enough to show that she was enjoying herself.

What a truly innocent child… and surprisingly unguarded, bringing him back to her home like this.

Though there was still one point to ponder: why not take him directly to the hospital?

“It’s probably better not to ask that question.”

But he couldn’t just give up the chance to connect with her like that.

“…Um, Yuyou, where is your home? Or what’s your family’s phone number? Just tell me, and I’ll take you back. We can’t let them worry!”

“Home? Well… there isn’t one here. As for my family, they’re no longer in this world.”

It was only after he instinctively answered that Yuyou realized, turning to look at Wuyue.

What he saw was Wuyue, transformed into a little crying cat.

“Wuwuwu… I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to ask you that! I’m so sorry!”

“Uh… it’s fine, I’m used to it.”

Although he was misunderstood in that way, it was true that his family was no longer in this world.

But really, was it that exaggerated? This crying and wailing was a bit too emotional, wasn’t it? After all, they were just strangers to each other, right?

If he were to die in front of her later, he couldn’t even imagine how she would cry!

“Wuwuwu… I’ve made up my mind!”

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Wuyue, feeling a certain similarity with Yuyou, pointed at him and said earnestly:

“Yuyou, if you don’t have a home, then come live with me!”

“I will, accept you!”

“…Huh?”

Seeing Wuyue’s completely serious expression that didn’t seem like a joke at all, Yuyou was stunned in disbelief.

No way, girl!

Just like that, so casually… you want me to live in your house? Is that really okay?

After thinking for a long time, Yuyou finally replied:

“…Well, okay then.”

“Thank you, Wuyue.”
