Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret - Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret chapter 64

64. Trouble Arrives

After arriving at the cake shop with Wu Yue, You Yu got out of the car, took Wu Yue by the hand, and walked into the store.

Once inside, You Yu did not immediately go to pick up the cake; instead, he observed the front desk for a while and then suggested that Wu Yue look for something to eat that she wanted, and also bring some back this time.

Hearing You Yu’s words, Wu Yue happily agreed and went off to find her favorite snacks.

Meanwhile, You Yu took the opportunity to approach the front desk.

“Still the same blonde, huh…”

Looking at the staff member who had her head down, focused on her phone, You Yu thought to himself.

He had originally hoped that by coming to this shop today, he might run into Bai Yu by chance.

But the reality was that she was not here.

It seemed that after Wu Yue had talked to her about those things earlier, she had been greatly affected and had stopped coming to work here.

If she had been here, he could have pulled Wu Yue over and talked to her right away, but unfortunately, that was not the case.

Later, he would call again to check on her situation.

Thinking this, You Yu spoke up:

“Um, hello, I’m the one who ordered the cake last time, and I’m here to pick it up today.”

Upon hearing You Yu’s words, the staff member who had been looking at her phone reacted, put her phone away, looked up at You Yu with an apologetic expression, and said:

“I’m sorry, sir, I didn’t notice you earlier because I was busy with work. Please wait a moment while I check the information, and I’ll get your cake.”

“That’s okay.”

After waiting for a while, the blonde staff member finished her verification work, then turned to the back and brought out a box that looked like a gift box, containing the birthday cake, saying:

“This is your cake. Once you pay the remaining balance, you can take it with you.”

“Alright.”

Agreeing with her, You Yu opened his payment app, ready to pay and leave with Wu Yue.

However, just then, the blonde staff member, who had been watching him, suddenly asked a question:

“Is this birthday cake you ordered for that girl?”

“Um?”

Hearing the staff member’s words, You Yu looked up and followed her gaze, seeing Wu Yue.

So he replied:

“Hmm, it’s her. Today is her birthday. The last time I brought her here, it was to order a custom birthday cake.”

“…I see.”

For some reason, after Yuyou finished speaking, the blonde clerk’s gaze shifted subtly, as if carrying some elusive meaning within it.

“…In that case, please treat her well.”

Upon hearing her words, Yuyou paused for a moment, then casually replied:

“…Of course I will. I’ve already paid the balance. Wuyue, bring over what you found. Once we settle the payment, we can leave.”

“Eh? So soon? Why didn’t you call me when you picked up the cake just now?”

“We’ll have plenty of time to look at it when we get home!”

“Ugh~~~ Fine!”

……

As they finished paying at the front desk and were about to leave the store, the blonde clerk smiled and said:

“Welcome to visit us again.”

————

“So, Yuyou, are we going home to put the cake away and then head over to Baiyu’s place?”

“Yeah, after all, we can’t take the cake to her in this heat… It might melt by the time we get there, which isn’t very realistic.”

“Uh… That’s true!”

Hearing Wuyue’s awkward laughter from the back seat, Yuyou shook his head in amusement and continued driving, his gaze fixed ahead.

To be honest, he couldn’t shake the feeling that the blonde clerk’s words held some deeper meaning, something beyond a simple inquiry.

Although there was no evidence to prove it, based on his experiences with Wuyue and Baiyu, he could sense it.

Moreover, that blonde clerk was mentioned in the intel from Mamba as the third magical girl.

In other words, the third magical girl whose name he still didn’t know—Magical Girl Yanshu.

She was the most mysterious presence of all. Although he hadn’t figured out what she truly wanted, her subtle behavior just now suggested that she might already be a magical girl…

“…”

Of course, this was merely a guess. Without knowing the specifics, Yuyou wouldn’t jump to conclusions so easily.

For now, his priority was to ensure Wuyue had a wonderful birthday and then deal with Baiyu’s matters. As for her… that would have to wait for a long time.

“So… how many magical girls am I going to leave with regrets for a lifetime?”

Suddenly, Yuyou found himself pondering.

Back then, he hadn’t asked Mamba how many magical girls there were… Although only three had appeared so far, there could be more in the future.

If the number of magical girls grew to the point where they could form a team… then he would be in trouble.

“……Uh, that seems unlikely.”

Shaking his head, Youyu dismissed the somewhat frightening thought and refocused on the current drive.

No, it wasn’t that he was scared; he was just a bit worried about flipping the bike and getting into an accident.

“……”

————

After driving for about two minutes.

As he continued, suddenly, Youyu felt a familiar yet loathsome presence.

Though it appeared for just a moment before vanishing, he still managed to catch it.

Because… just before this, he had personally transformed into the Snake Knight and fought against the owner of that presence, so he was quite familiar with it.

The Night Demon seemed to have appeared.

“……”

Upon realizing this, Youyu didn’t panic. Instead, he took a deep breath and said to Wuyue, who was behind him:

From noble mtl dot net

“Wuyue… hold on tight. I think the cake might be melting, so we need to speed up and get it back in the fridge as soon as possible.”

“Eh? Then… okay!”

Though she found it strange that they needed to speed up after just five minutes, Wuyue didn’t hesitate and obediently wrapped her arms tightly around him.

Feeling Wuyue’s hands around him, Youyu wasted no time and accelerated the motorcycle, dashing forward at a faster speed.

“……”

“Whoosh—”

“!!!”

“Yah?!”

However, after covering some distance, Youyu, sensing something, suddenly slammed on the brakes. In just a few seconds, the speeding motorcycle came to a halt.

Fortunately, this motorcycle had been specially modified by him, so it didn’t get thrown off due to the strong inertia. Instead, thanks to its unique capabilities, it pressed Youyu and Wuyue firmly against it.

“Ugh… what’s wrong, Youyu? You suddenly braked…”

“Sorry, Wuyue, I didn’t want to do that either.”

“Just… please look ahead.”

Looking at the two enormous silver ants and one gigantic red ant blocking their path, Youyu sighed and said:

“We might be in big trouble.”
