Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret - Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret chapter 52

52. A Yandere is Better than a Recluse

“……”

“Okay, then let’s head over.”

Although she guessed that something might have happened between them, Bai Yu thought for a moment and chose not to delve too deeply. After Wu Yue mentioned she was leaving, she nodded and went with her to You Yu’s place.

Their matters should be handled by themselves; Bai Yu wouldn’t choose to interfere too much, as it could lead to worse outcomes—she was well aware of this.

She still chose to trust them.

Thus, after a journey of several dozen minutes, she and Wu Yue rode their bicycles to the place where they used to train.

And You Yu had been waiting there early, his expression seeming a bit uneasy.

Upon seeing their arrival, You Yu visibly breathed a sigh of relief, then first directed his gaze at Wu Yue.

After confirming she was okay, the expression on his face completely relaxed, returning to his usual demeanor.

Watching the two of them park their bicycles, You Yu exhaled, adjusted his state, and walked towards them, then said:

“Sorry for making you come at this time… I’ll adjust things in the future so I won’t take up too much of your time…”

As he said this, You Yu gradually shifted his gaze to Wu Yue and asked:

“So… Wu Yue, what happened at school today? You should have been here by this time.”

“……”

“I…”

However, upon hearing You Yu’s question, a seemingly normal question, for some reason, Wu Yue’s expression suddenly became anxious and uneasy.

Moreover, her body began to tremble unconsciously, as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words.

“!!”

Noticing that something was off, You Yu thought it was bad. Just as he was about to speak to comfort her, Bai Yu stepped in and said:

“You Yu, it’s because Wu Yue had quite a bit of homework at school today, so she planned to finish it there before coming over. You can see how tired she looks right now…”

“……Ah! So that’s how it is! Sorry, Wu Yue, I didn’t expect this situation… You don’t need to be so nervous; it’s just an occasional late arrival, it’s not a mistake.”

Borrowing from what Bai Yu said as a stepping stone, You Yu hurriedly added a comforting remark, but it still had no effect; Wu Yue was still in that state, or rather, it seemed like she was shaking even more than before.

“……”

It seemed that apologizing to her now would only backfire.

Helpless, You Yu could only sigh…

Well, he didn’t actually sigh, because he could roughly guess the reason behind Wu Yue’s current “fearful” appearance.

Therefore, to prevent Wu Yue’s symptoms from worsening, he promptly restrained his habit of negative behavior, treating it as if nothing had happened, and changed the topic by saying:

“Anyway, it’s good that we’re all here. What I want to talk to you about this time is the adjustment of your training levels. The specifics are as follows…”

In order to alleviate Wu Yue’s current pressure, You Yu began to use a method he had employed before—padding his speech with a lot of useless information to numb the probing.

As expected, after talking for a while, Wu Yue had lost the initial tension; now she was just staring blankly at the ground, lost in thought.

“Ha—”

Seeing Wu Yue recovering, You Yu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the time was about right, so he revealed the last truth he wanted to share:

“In short, considering that you’ve been under a lot of study pressure lately… the training and such should be paused for a bit. From now on, we’ll cut everything in half until you’re all emptied out, and then we’ll readjust.”

“No objections, right?”

“I have no objections.”

“…… No, not at all.”

“……”

“Okay, then let’s—”

“Wait a moment, You Yu.”

It seemed that Bai Yu could no longer stand the scene of You Yu making eye contact with Wu Yue while she avoided it. With a helpless sigh, she made a decision she shouldn’t have made and said to him:

“You Yu, there are some things I need to explain to you. Can I take a bit of your time?”

Upon hearing Bai Yu’s words, You Yu shifted his gaze from Wu Yue back to her, thought for a moment, and said:

“…Is it about the negative beasts? Do you have new information?”

“No… not exactly, but it’s somewhat related. However, due to some special reasons, I can’t explain it directly here, so I need to talk to you separately… and if you have time later, we can come back here again.”

“I see…”

“……”

After listening to Bai Yu’s words, You Yu didn’t immediately agree but glanced at Wu Yue out of the corner of his eye, then back at Bai Yu, seemingly deep in thought.

After a moment of silence, You Yu made a decision and said:

“Alright, since it’s not convenient for you now, let’s talk when you have time later. I should have some free time.”

“Mm.”

Nodding, and seeing that her purpose had been achieved, Bai Yu decided not to linger any longer and said:

“Then I’ll head back first, goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

Waving his hand to bid farewell to Bai Yu, after she rode away on her bicycle, only he and Wu Yue remained.

“……”

Taking a deep breath, You Yu turned around, intending to say something to Wu Yue, only to see her already on her own bicycle, wearing an apologetic expression like this morning, saying:

“Well… You Yu, I still want to ride my bicycle back by myself, you… you can go ahead, right? No need to wait for me.”

“After all… I might take a longer route back, because I have a sports exam coming up, so I need to—”

“…exercise, right?”

“…yeah.”

After a moment of silence, feeling the negative emotions emanating from Wu Yue, and seeing her anxious expression, You Yu said:

“Since you say so, then I’ll leave first.”

“However, even though you’re a magical girl, you still need to be careful… it’s okay to ride slowly, I’ll wait for you to come back before having dinner.”

“…yeah.”

“Then, it’s settled.”

Seeing Wu Yue agree, You Yu no longer hesitated and left right away.

Then, he hopped on the motorcycle he had bought not long ago, which had been specially modified, and headed home.

“……”

“There’s always a way.”

Originally, today, he had planned to find an opportunity and figure out how to effectively communicate with Wu Yue, to see if he could help her revert back.

Unfortunately, given her current state, which was like a bomb ready to explode at any moment, he couldn’t take action for now, so he had to put it on hold.

However, if he really had to say, there was still a way…

“Maybe Bai Yu can help me.”

Because, unexpectedly, or rather, after the incident of “having a cold war with Wu Yue,” he had inadvertently overlooked Bai Yu, who now had the intention to get involved.

What she said to him before she left was an indication of her desire to intervene in this matter.

As the saying goes, the one involved is confused, while the bystander sees clearly.

With Bai Yu’s help, maybe he could change Wu Yue’s mind.

To make her… revert back.

“Pulling her back would be the best.”

“After all, a yandere is better than being withdrawn…”

Let her be a yandere, it’s fine! It’s still better than being withdrawn.

—

Anyway, after experiencing it for himself, he felt there was nothing to be afraid of!

So, even if all these magical girls turned into yanderes in the future, he wouldn’t be scared!

With this thought in mind, Yuu accelerated his pace.
