Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret - Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret chapter 54

54. Are All Lies?

Riding his specially modified motorcycle, after a long journey, Youyu quickly arrived at the agreed meeting spot with Baiyu.

She had been waiting there for a while, and upon seeing him, she waved her hand.

As Youyu got off the bike and walked towards her, Baiyu spoke first:

“Wait a moment, Youyu, there’s something I haven’t told you.”

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Youyu’s somewhat confused expression, Baiyu sighed and said:

“…Actually, I just want to clarify in advance that the reason I called you here isn’t about the negative beast situation, but rather about you and Wuyue.”

“After all, you two…”

“? Of course I know that! Didn’t we reach a consensus back then?”

“…Huh?”

Upon hearing Youyu’s words, Baiyu was momentarily taken aback, her mind blank.

Had they really reached a consensus back then? What consensus was that?

How come she didn’t know?

“…Could it be that you didn’t realize at all back then? I’m talking about this matter…”

After guessing the situation Baiyu was in, Youyu couldn’t help but feel a bit speechless.

So she had known nothing at that time… No wonder she chose to discuss this in person.

He understood Baiyu’s meaning, but she hadn’t grasped his.

This situation was indeed quite awkward…

“Forget it, let’s not talk about that for now.”

Knowing the value of time, Youyu didn’t want to waste it on this minor issue, so he skipped over it and directly said to her:

“Baiyu, if you have something to ask me, just go ahead.”

“After all, you should be able to see that my situation with Wuyue… is quite obvious.”

“…I thought you didn’t know.”

After a moment of silence, Baiyu pointed to a nearby bench where they used to sit and rest after training, saying:

“Let’s go there and talk about your situation.”

“Sit down… and take it slow.”

————

“…”

“Then, I’m going to start asking. My tone might be a bit harsh, so please bear with me, Youyu.”

“It’s fine, go ahead.”

“……Hmm.”

Nodding slightly, Bai Yu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, she had transformed into that stern demeanor.

She looked at You Yu with such a gaze and said:

“So, what I want to ask is, what exactly did you do to Wu Yue? Why did she become like that yesterday? Why does she look… afraid of you?”

“Please answer truthfully, I want to know the truth of the matter!”

“……Hmm, I can see how much you care about Wu Yue, but this matter is really not as bad as you think.”

You Yu sighed, shook his head, guessing that Bai Yu had misunderstood him in some aspects, so he decided not to beat around the bush and explained directly:

“On Saturday, after leaving your cake shop, I took her out and we played all day long.”

“And then… on the way home, Wu Yue asked me how I felt about her.”

“……”

“What was your answer?”

“Hmm, after we got home, this is what I told her—”

As he spoke, You Yu turned his head to look at the sky, which had just darkened.

“I see you as family, as a sister.”

“……”

“And then?”

“And then…”

As if recalling something, You Yu let out a helpless sigh and said:

“Then she said she wanted to have… a closer relationship with me.”

“In other words, a couple.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu finally guessed the general idea. After a moment of silence, she said:

“……So, you rejected her?”

“Hmm, I rejected her.”

“……”

After hearing You Yu’s answer, Bai Yu fell silent for a while. For some reason, she suddenly felt a wave of inexplicable anger, but she quickly suppressed it. Then, after taking a deep breath, she continued to ask:

“What was the reason?”

“It’s a very simple reason: I can’t give her lasting happiness right now.”

“……Can’t give, why?”

“Because I don’t have that ability.”

Shaking his head, You Yu continued with the reasons he had previously given.

“Right now, I… don’t have anything special about me. At most, I can only be your ‘logistics,’ just an ordinary person, nothing more ordinary than that.”

“…Moreover, because of Wuyue, she has the uniqueness of being a magical girl. In terms of duty, power, and the level of existence, she is completely different from me—”

“Therefore, we can say that the two of us are completely different existences in the same world.”

“So… wanting to develop that kind of relationship is unrealistic.”

“…Is that the reason?”

“Yes.”

“…”

Hearing this, Bai Yu, who had been suppressing something, seemed to finally reach her limit. She suddenly stood up, grabbing You Yu by the collar, and with an expression of fury, “asked” him:

“Seriously! From just now! I just can’t understand! What are you even talking about?! You Yu!”

“Talking about ‘not being able to give happiness’ and then easily using that as an excuse to reject Wuyue, turning her into what she is now!”

“Then, what was your promise before?!”

“Tell me?! You Yu! If you really think that way, then why didn’t you leave when I found you back then? Why did you choose to stay by her side?!”

“A long time ago! Wuyue told me that the reason she can be like this now… the reason she can live so ‘happily’ is all because of you! You Yu!”

“She likes you, you like her, isn’t that great?! Why do you have to refuse?! What actual benefit does rejecting her bring you?!”

“And didn’t you deny before that ‘getting involved with a magical girl will definitely lead to a bad ending’?!”

“What exactly… are you avoiding?! You Yu! Why did you let things develop to this point?!”

“Tell me!! You Yu!!”

Looking at You Yu in front of her, Bai Yu felt an overwhelming frustration.

In fact, at first, she never expected such a thing to happen, and she never thought of doing this to You Yu.

But… she really couldn’t help it, she just couldn’t hold back.

Because, before, when she was with You Yu and Wuyue, she had heard so many things about each other from them, and without exception, they were all good things.

They talked to her about their interactions, they told her how lucky they were to have met each other.

Listening to what they shared, Bai Yu always felt an immense sense of emotion and envy in her heart—

How fortunate it was for Wuyue to meet someone trustworthy, someone to rely on.

…

You Yu said he would do his utmost to give Wuyue happiness.

And Wuyue also said she would do her utmost to protect everyone’s lives, to protect You Yu’s life.

The words they spoke, Bai Yu, who listened quietly, always kept in her heart.

But… at that moment, You Yu, who had promised to give Wuyue happiness, was now denying his past promise.

She really couldn’t help it, she was truly unable to hold back…

—

Just thinking about the way Wuyue looked yesterday, and about Youyu’s behavior at this moment—

She felt unfortunate for Wuyue and bewildered by Youyu.

So, she said:

“… Or are you saying that everything you’ve done up until now has all been a lie?!”
