LIGHTNOVELONLINE chapter 14
14. But, I refuse!
“?! Why would you…”
“First, calm down, calm down, okay? Miss Wuyue.”
Seeing Wuyue’s shocked and flustered expression after her identity was exposed, the blue-haired girl continued to smile.
“Of course, it’s because… I’m a magical girl just like you~”
“…Huh?”
“There are more magical girls than just you~ I was born even earlier than you~”
The blue-haired girl explained.
“Ah… I see now…”
After doing her best to calm down, Wuyue asked:
“So, what do you want to talk to me about?”
“Well, of course, it’s to discuss matters concerning magical girls~ Otherwise… I wouldn’t have had him bring you out.”
“……”
So, taking pictures is secondary; the real purpose of this girl is to find her, right?
Suppressing the inexplicable discomfort rising within her, Wuyue sighed and said:
“Alright… so what do you want to tell me? Is it about the origins of those monsters? Or how I became a magical girl… something like that?”
Just like in the anime, it’s time to unfold the world view.
“Mm-hmm, pretty much.”
Nodding, the blue-haired girl glanced back at Yuyu, who was taking pictures of the willow tree, then turned her head back and said:
“Well then… please follow me. I won’t take up too much of your time.”
With that, the blue-haired girl began walking toward the other end of the park.
“……”
“Mm.”
Wuyue hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to follow.
“……”
After they left, Yuyu turned back to glance in their direction.
For some reason…
“I just have a feeling that something bad is going to happen soon…”
Hopefully, it’s just his imagination.

“Mm… it’s a nice place.”
Upon arriving at a flower-filled area, the blue-haired girl took a deep breath, then turned to Wuyue and smiled:
“Now, let’s get started.”
“First, let me introduce myself. My name is Baiyu, the magical girl Blue Night, who appeared before you.”
“Like you, I was born from my own wish after hearing that voice… a magical girl.”
“Eh? So it really is related to that voice… do you know what that voice is?”
“Mm, sorry, I don’t know about that either.”
Shaking her head, Baiyu smiled and said.
“Right now, I’m still investigating it…”
“But… let’s not talk about that for now. What I want to discuss with you is about those monsters.”
“Do you know what those monsters are?”
Hearing Baiyu’s words, Wuyue began to take it seriously.
After all, the matter of those monsters concerns human lives. Although she had recently defeated the giant bat that had appeared, there was no guarantee that similar monsters wouldn’t show up next time…
Moreover, their strength could be even greater than before.
So, whether for herself, for Yuyu, or for those suffering people…
She had to seriously understand this aspect of things.
“Hmm, they are called ‘Negative Beasts,’ life forms formed by the accumulation of negative emotions from animals and humans.”
“Negative Beasts, their appearance is usually an enlarged version of natural creatures, and they possess enormous sizes. Additionally, they have a strong tendency towards aggression.”
“I was fighting them alone before you became a magical girl.”
“…So they are naturally occurring monsters? That sounds quite dire…”
If negative emotions truly gathered together and naturally birthed these creatures, then she might have to fight those Negative Beasts for the rest of her life.
Her peaceful life with Yuyu… might never return.
“Not exactly.”
However, Bai Yu shook her head, denying her statement.
She continued:
“Negative emotions are something we cannot see. This world is constantly emitting negative emotions, and the reason they don’t gather to become Negative Beasts is that, at the moment they appear, they are naturally dissolved by the world.”
“However… some special entities have mastered the method to control negative emotions. They can refine higher-level negative emotions for their own use.”
“And so… they used this method to create a large number of Negative Beasts.”
“Uh… so it sounds like some kind of villain organization, right?”
“You can understand it that way.”
“…”
After listening to Bai Yu’s words, Wu Yue fell silent for a moment, as if she had made a resolution deep within her heart. She turned to Bai Yu and asked:
“So… what should we do next? Should we find where those guys are hiding, defeat them, and stop them from doing this?”
“Mm-hmm.”
Bai Yu smiled and nodded, saying:
“But… that’s the ultimate goal~”
“Right now… right now you have something else to do.”
“What is it?”
“That is—”
With a mysterious smile, Bai Yu turned around, extending her hand to point in a direction.
Following where she pointed, Wu Yue saw Yuyu still taking pictures under that willow tree.
“Let’s first… leave his side.”
“……?”
Upon hearing Bai Yu’s words, Wu Yue suddenly froze for a moment.
After regaining her composure, she asked with a tone filled with inexplicable anger and vigilance:
“Why should I leave him? What do you want to do to him?”
“Well… calm down, calm down, Miss Wu Yue. I have no ill intentions towards him.”
With a smile, Bai Yu waved her hand, signaling her to relax.
“The reason I brought this up… is for both you and your partner’s sake.”
“…”
“After all, you’ve become a magical girl now, right? That means your future life is destined to be anything but smooth.”
“So, in the future… you might find yourself constantly living in battle, suffering endlessly, until you die in some fight…”
“Even if you don’t worry about yourself, even if you consider yourself a ‘selfless’ person.”
“But there’s one thing you will definitely care about.”
As she spoke, Bai Yu pointed once more at You Yu.
“Will his life be affected because of you?”
“Will his future be ruined because of you?”
“When he once again… dies in front of you, like before.”
“Will you regret your choice of ‘not leaving him’?”
“…”
“Please… think it over carefully~”
Watching Wu Yue, who had been silent for a long time, Bai Yu smiled and quietly awaited her response.
Then, after a minute had passed.
Wu Yue, who had been silent for so long, finally spoke, giving her answer.
“Your suggestion… does make a lot of sense.”
“But…”
“I! Reject your proposal!”
