50. Wuyue’s Confusion

“?!”

Faced with Youyu’s sudden question, Wuyue’s mind fell into a state of confusion, and for a long time, she couldn’t utter a single word.

—

The hand holding the red gem around her neck slowly lowered unconsciously.

After realizing it, facing Yu Yu’s “disappointed” expression, she anxiously explained:

“No! That’s not what I meant! I never, never thought of hurting you, Yu Yu?! That, that was just…”

“What was it then? A misunderstanding? Clearly, you just decided to transform into a magical girl to trap me, didn’t you?”

Looking at Wu Yue, whose tone was urgent, Yu Yu frowned and said.

“Do you really think that what you just said and what you did were all jokes, Wu Yue?”

“…No! That’s not it! I just… I really don’t know why I acted that way…”

“My wish… my wish has been clear from the very beginning; I just want to protect you, Yu Yu! I never thought of hurting you, that’s the truth!”

“Really!”

“Really…”

“…”

“Wu Yue, that’s enough.”

Shaking his head, after a long silence, seeing Wu Yue starting to apologize frantically.

Yu Yu sighed, preparing to end this “crisis” with a few final words.

So he said:

“Wu Yue, I understand your feelings, and I know why you said what you did earlier, so I want to apologize to you for saying those things without thinking too much.”

“Just like you said, we’re both fools, fools who would do anything to help others.”

“But… even if our hearts are in the right place, sometimes we can’t help but cause trouble, just like what happened earlier.”

“So now, please don’t apologize anymore. Calm down first, and let me explain slowly, okay?”

“…”

“Mm.”

Taking a deep breath, looking at Wu Yue, whose emotions were gradually stabilizing, Yu Yu continued:

“What I said earlier, ‘Maybe I’ll die in the future,’ must have sounded like a threat to you, right?”

“I was thinking of making you happy, which is why I rejected your proposal… but it seems I was wrong in how I responded to this matter.”

“Because I selfishly spoke those words, thinking I was right, but I didn’t consider how much unease those words brought you, not even the most basic point of ‘wanting to make you happy.’”

“I ignored your own thoughts and imposed my own ideas onto you, which led to… you becoming like this.”

“…So, this is my mistake. I sincerely apologize to you, I’m sorry! Wu Yue!”

After saying this, Yu Yu quickly bowed his head in front of her, then raised it again, saying the last words he wanted to convey:

“Lastly… I apologize to you once more. I was too emotional earlier and said those… unfriendly words.”

“…”

—

“Anyway, Wuyue, if you want to punish me or something… I can understand. From now on, I will try my best to listen to your opinions.”

“So, let’s coexist peacefully without hurting each other, and protect one another, okay?”

“…”

“Mm.”

Seeing that Wuyue had completely calmed down and agreed to his words, Youyu let out a sigh of relief. After thinking for a moment, he said:

“Then… I’ll go make you something to eat now. After all, something unpleasant happened… both physically and mentally, it can be exhausting.”

“Just sit down and rest for a bit. Once I have the food ready, I’ll come back to keep you company.”

“Alright?”

“…”

“Mm.”

Hearing Wuyue’s agreement, Youyu nodded and then turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Once in the kitchen, he glanced back at Wuyue.

She… still maintained her calm demeanor, not making any further movements, just staring blankly at the floor, lost in her thoughts.

“…”

Turning back, Youyu sighed and began to handle the tasks at hand.

“At this point… it seems I’ve managed to stabilize Wuyue. Thankfully, my gamble paid off. If I hadn’t shown a strong attitude back then… perhaps we wouldn’t have this outcome now.”

But…

Had he really handled things well with Wuyue?

“…”

Youyu was now very clear that Wuyue, at this moment, was only calm on the surface. Beneath it all… various emotions and thoughts were churning.

And… most of them were negative.

It’s not that negative emotions are inherently bad; it’s just that, as I said before, if he goes too far, it might backfire.

He had to think of a way to turn her current situation around.

“Sigh…”

Thinking of this, Youyu couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

“This is also something that comes with being a ‘villain who regrets for a lifetime’… something that must be done…”

————

Late at night.

After a day of exhaustion, in every sense of the word, Wuyue finally returned to her room and lay down on her bed.

However, she did not choose to turn off the lights and fall asleep. Instead, she quietly stared at the ceiling, lying there, lost in her thoughts… thinking…

“……”

Then…

“What have I done…”

Unintentionally, a tear flowed down from her blue eyes.

“What have I done…”

“……”

From noble mtl dot net

Wuyue didn’t understand why she had suddenly acted that way at that moment. Why had a strong desire surged within her, driving her to do such things?

At first, she had simply wanted to deepen her relationship with Youyu, but she never expected that such a thing would happen.

“I clearly… didn’t want to do that…”

As she murmured, her tone was tinged with a sob.

Today was supposed to be a day she had finally managed to secure, a day alone with Youyu after all the effort she had put in over the past few days.

But unexpectedly, the outcome had turned out to be so messy.

Why… was it?

Why was it?

……

Ah, she understood.

Just a simple thought, and Wuyue knew the answer.

It was because she wanted to “protect” Youyu, wanted to be with him, wanted to always watch over him, wanted to share joys and sorrows together.

But… after seeing Youyu talking to Baiyu, she couldn’t suppress her dirty “jealousy.”

She even wanted to seize this opportunity—what she thought was a very romantic day—to urgently establish a relationship with Youyu, and then… keep him at a distance.

“……”

Everything was because of her selfishness.

She simply couldn’t stand seeing Youyu being good to others.

She just wanted to see him only by her side.

Even… she was willing to use “protection” as an excuse to keep him close.

Clearly, her true intention was not this.

She hadn’t thought that far ahead about what would happen after establishing a relationship…

Yet Youyu, after her “threat,” was still able to forgive her, even going so far as to say it was his own fault and apologizing to her.

……

No.

“Clearly, you did nothing wrong at all… Yuyou.”

The only one at fault was this foolish person.

Unable to even protect those close to her, she had almost caused harm.

“Protection,” such a grand-sounding concept, was probably just an excuse she made for that strange desire in her heart.

She might not be…

So noble after all.

“Can someone like me really be a good magical girl?”

“Can someone like me… really protect you?”

Should she just give up on this idea?

“…”

In her confusion, Wuyue didn’t notice.

The way the ruby on her neck was slowly dimming.
