Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret - Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret chapter 56

56. The Night Demon’s New Plan

As Youyu finished explaining his story and the reasons behind it, the atmosphere between them fell silent once again, with neither of them speaking.

This silence lasted for nearly ten minutes, until Bai Yu’s sigh marked its end—

“Now, I think I understand, Youyu, why you chose to do things that way, why you had to do it…”

“Although I still don’t quite support your decision, since you’ve already done it, I have nothing more to say.”

In her eyes, Youyu’s current mindset was just like those adults back at her home.

Clearly, Youyu was just a newly adult “grown-up,” yet he already had such thoughts; it truly made her feel… at a loss for words.

But it was precisely because of this that she could understand Youyu’s contradictory and complex feelings now.

After clearing her throat, Bai Yu looked at him and said:

“So, Youyu, let me help you.”

“Let me help you… reconcile with Wuyue.”

“……”

Upon hearing Bai Yu’s words, Youyu was taken aback and instinctively replied:

“So, you’re here to help me?”

“? What else would it be?”

“Uh, nothing.”

Faced with Bai Yu’s puzzled expression, Youyu shook his head.

He had just zoned out.

Mainly because he thought Bai Yu would continue her lecture… which led him to start mentally preparing his responses to her next words.

But he didn’t expect that such a simple thing… a story he had slightly adapted, would convince her.

Anyway, as long as it was effective, that was the best outcome; he didn’t want to continue on this topic.

“Anyway… thank you.”

Saying this, You Yu nodded heavily to express his gratitude.

“After that incident, Wu Yue and I have been in a state of ‘cold war’; I even find it difficult to speak to her.”

“So… I’ll be counting on you. There are some things I can’t say directly to her, so I need you to convey them.”

“I naturally understand that.”

Nodding, Bai Yu said:

“However, if you want to completely restore your relationship with Wu Yue, a large part of the effort still depends on you, You Yu.”

“Afterwards… I will find a way to create opportunities for you two, to give you a chance to talk properly.”

“I will also have a word with Wu Yue… to help change her mind.”

“Mm, thank you.”

After saying this, You Yu exhaled, then glanced at the time on his phone, feeling it was about time, so he said to her:

“Then I’ll head back now; Wu Yue is waiting for me at home for dinner. If I’m late… she might be a bit unhappy.”

“…From what you say, I don’t think your relationship is as bad as you make it out to be…”

Upon hearing You Yu’s words, Bai Yu was momentarily taken aback, then spoke in a strange tone.

“Well, after all, this incident was just a conflict arising from a misunderstanding… although it was quite troublesome, it’s not that bad.”

You Yu shook his head.

It was merely an incident caused by “jealousy”; there would likely be more in the future. As long as he took precautions, it wouldn’t be a big problem; it wasn’t like there was any betrayal involved.

Moreover, the current situation wasn’t too serious, as long as it was still under control.

Thinking this, You Yu stood up and walked towards where his motorcycle was parked.

“From now on, let’s talk on the phone about Wu Yue.”

“Then, goodbye, and be safe on your way home.”

“…”

“Mm.”

Watching You Yu leave, Bai Yu stood in place, hesitating for a moment for some unknown reason, not making a move.

After a while, she sighed and got on her bicycle, heading back in the direction of her home.

……

……

Riding back home.

To Yu Yu’s surprise, after returning, Wu Yue no longer displayed any signs of tension; instead, she reverted to her previous quiet state.

Moreover, during dinner, she gradually began to bring up some topics, although most of them were trivial matters.

“…It feels a bit strange.”

Though he had no idea what had happened here after he left, which caused Wu Yue to return to a somewhat normal state… even if just a little.

But in any case, this was a good thing. After all, it wouldn’t be ideal for her to remain in that withdrawn state. If she could self-regulate, that would be even better.

So, the night passed in a tranquil atmosphere.

……

The tower.

The tower where the evil officials resided.

Lightning struck continuously, and the sky was forever shrouded in darkness.

Today… the Night Demon returned here, once again to carry out its task—reporting to the Tower Master.

Reporting the specific reasons for its previous failure.

“So… so, Night Demon…”

The Tower Master, with eyes that existed in the void, looked down at the Night Demon, who had not lifted its head, and spoke slowly:

“What was the reason for your failure this time?”

“Why did you… fail again? Was it… the Serpent Knight?”

“Please let me explain first, Tower Master.”

Not paying much attention to the Tower Master’s questions, the Night Demon simply pulled out a scroll that could record images from its own body and said:

“Look at this, Tower Master.”

As it spoke, the scroll suddenly flew into the air, unfolding into a massive piece of cloth.

“……”

Since the recorded footage by the Night Demon was not very long, the screening ended quickly.

After watching the scenes displayed on the cloth, the Tower Master felt somewhat displeased and said:

“…This is an ordinary human… he escaped with the magical girl…”

“Why? At that time, did you not stop him?”

“Because that human is a ‘Wizard,’ Tower Master.”

The Night Demon replied simply.

“I want to make use of him.”

“…Use? Why? …He’s just an ordinary human… just someone who has grasped a bit of the power of negative emotions… what is there to utilize?”

After a moment of silence, the Tower Master asked.

“Because last time, the appearance of that Serpent Knight gave me a hypothesis.”

The Night Demon replied.

Ever since the first encounter with the Serpent Knight, he had started to scour through books day and night, never stopping in his inquiry into its identity.

Finally… after a long period of investigation…

He had formulated a hypothesis.

That is, the Serpent Knight should possess a part that belongs to the human soul; it could possibly be… a reversed magical girl.

Because, after the investigation, he saw some cases in the history of battles between these negative beings and magical girls—

Magical girls ultimately defeated, their wishes shattered, turning into immense negative emotions, which they fed upon.

And then… the magical girls were ultimately defeated, in despair, their wishes reversed, negative emotions corroding themselves, transforming into “witches,” and then began to wreak havoc until they were defeated by other newly born magical girls.

Although most of this history belonged to those old beings who had died from starvation, writing down their “wild histories,” it still led him to establish a hypothesis—

That is, the “Serpent Knight” is very likely to be a “witch” born from a reversed magical girl.

After all, “witches” have no definable appearance; they can look like the magical girls themselves, a strange plant, a doll, or a battleship robot monster, and so on.

So… it’s not strange that the “Serpent Knight” is formed from a magical girl after reversal, because the only ones that can transform into such a form, while still possessing a human soul, must be the magical girls who turned into “witches” after reversal.

As for why it has the aura of a mamba… that’s likely because it fought a mamba.

And won.

“…So, what does this have to do with you… letting that human go?”

“Listen to me, Tower Master.”

Without reacting to the Tower Master’s somewhat irritated tone, the Night Demon said calmly:

“Those magical girls, before their reversal, were actually not much different from ordinary humans; they just had that power we have yet to grasp.”

“And… after they reversed, their own power was tainted with some negative emotions, thus, they became witches.”

“And then… we all know that on this planet, there exists a type of person—who can slightly grasp some power of negative emotions, who were called ‘sorcerers’ by those uninformed humans a thousand years ago.”

“In their bodies, there often exists a trace amount of manipulatable negative emotions; theoretically, as long as we control it actively, we can trigger negative emotions, turning them into negative beasts.”

“However, because no one has ever practiced this, no one knows the truth.”

“So… I want to experiment a bit on that human.”

“Dying is a normal, acceptable outcome.”

“And if he… survives and turns into a negative beast, that would be the best outcome for us.”

Because if that human survives, it would mean…

—

Those magical girls must personally slay their—

friends.

And He will stretch this time infinitely, magnifying it.

To achieve His—

purpose.
