Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret - Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret chapter 72

72. Ciao~

If you really care about the image of “Snake Knight”, then I have an idea.

Whether it’s the King Snake, Snake Fang, or Evol… they should all be together, right? (Appearance)

————————————————-

“Was Yuyu killed by Wuyue?” The information conveyed by the words of Snake Knight was too much for Bai Yu to process after a long period of disbelief. She looked at the fallen Yuyu and then at Wuyue, her eyes confused as she walked towards him. Snake Knight didn’t stop her and simply watched her kneel next to Yuyu, looking dazed.

“It’s a pity.” After saying this for a long time, Bai Yu finally recovered from this state of disbelief. She reached out and touched Yuyu’s face, only to feel a cold sensation. But there seemed to be a hint of warmth as well.

“……”

Before she could ponder over the reasons behind this strange sensation, Snake Knight spoke again:

“Unfortunately, you didn’t get to see the scene where that magical girl killed this man. Do you want me to tell you what it was like?”

“Well, let me just say this to you? That scene, what was it like?” Snake Knight walked to her side and knelt down, speaking with a nostalgic and poignant tone. “That man was attacked by that guy, and by the time the magical girl realized what was happening, it was already too late. Then.you know what? The man was witnessed by the magical girl himself, who saw him ‘die’ in front of her. The Night Demon stabbed his chest with its hand and turned him into a negative beast.”

“Ah! By the way, the most important thing is that after killing the man, the cake directly fell to the ground and turned into red powder. It’s such a pity.”

“Also, also, when this magical girl was trying to save this man, she said…”

“Don’t say anymore…”

“…Hmm?”

“I told you to stop talking!!”

Listening to the Snake Knight’s tone, laced with amusement, repeating those words again and again,

Bai Yu felt a surge of guilt, self-reproach, and helplessness rise within her heart.

Why couldn’t she have dealt with those obstructive negative beasts sooner and arrived here?

Why at that time… did she stubbornly believe that this matter wouldn’t be resolved perfectly,

and turned down the invitation to act with them today?

If she hadn’t refused back then, would today’s outcome have been different?

If, at that time, she could have been a bit stronger,

and not let Wu Yue’s words drag her own mindset down…

Or rather…

If from the very beginning, she had noticed Wu Yue’s feelings and stopped communicating with You Yu…

Then, would their meaningless argument have never happened?

Would it not have affected her?

The more she thought about it, the more Bai Yu couldn’t suppress her anger and regret,

and finally, these emotions erupted into a fiery outburst through her words—

“You’ve seen all this! How can you remain indifferent… and even smile?!”

“Just standing by… while Wu Yue personally…”

“…”

At this point, Bai Yu took a deep breath and scolded:

“What do you take human lives for?!”

“…I mean, Lan Ye, you don’t need to vent your anger on me, do you?”

Shaking his head helplessly, the Snake Knight stood up, looking down at her, and said:

“Their lives have nothing to do with me~ Besides… I’m a negative being,

not caring about this so-called ‘human life’ is quite normal, isn’t it?”

“And… from what you’re saying, it seems you’re blaming me for the responsibility?

But if you could have been a bit stronger and arrived here sooner, wouldn’t this have never happened?”

“…This is—!”

“Alright, alright~ No need to say so much to me,

I’m not interested in hearing your rebuttals, magical girl.”

Seeing Bai Yu’s eyes widen in shock at his words, her body trembling,

ready to panic and start countering him, the Snake Knight waved his hand, interrupting her.

After all, having come this far was enough;

making her ponder these issues would only lead to meaningless mental exhaustion.

So, it was time to stop.

“Your power is still too weak… Lan Ye, if you consider changing your wish,

maybe it could help you become stronger?”

—

“If you’re still that weak, don’t even think about piquing my interest; you can’t even protect what’s around you~”

Saying this, the Serpent Knight crouched down again, extending his hand toward “Yuu.”

“?! What do you want to do to him?!”

“Smack!”

“Ugh!”

Seeing the Serpent Knight’s movement, Bai Yu tensed up, preparing to transform again to stop him.

But this time, she didn’t even manage to touch the sapphire around her neck before feeling a force strike her hand.

Though the force wasn’t painful, it quickly numbed her for a short time and spread rapidly to other parts of her body.

Thus, unable to take any action, she fell back to the ground once more.

Looking at her with eyes full of rage, the Serpent Knight hoisted “Yuu” onto his shoulder and said with a smile:

“Actually, rather than hate me, I think you should be thanking me.”

“After all… this man may have been killed, but he’s not completely dead yet. I wouldn’t be bored enough to bring a corpse back~”

“?! What do you mean?! What are you going to do with him?! I know he’s not dead; you’ve deceived me! Are you going to turn him into a negative beast again?!”

“Oh? Hehe… your suggestion is indeed interesting, but I won’t do that.”

Shaking his head, the Serpent Knight slashed forward with the Western sword in his right hand, and it was as if the space was cleaved open, revealing a purple portal before him.

Then, carrying “Yuu,” he walked into the portal, and before leaving, he said one last time—

“The reason I’m taking him back is simply to give you all a target worthy of fighting against me.”

“Hmm~ After all, I’m really looking forward to battling with you all, you know?”

“Well then… I look forward to seeing you next time, magical girl.”

“Ciao~”

As the Serpent Knight’s words fell, he and “Yuu” vanished without a trace.

Only the chaotic battlefield remained, gradually undergoing self-repair.
