LIGHTNOVELONLINE chapter 18
18. Isn’t that just playing with you?
“Magical girl or something…”
“Isn’t just having me enough?”
“Why… do you still want to find other people?”
“…”
Looking at Wuyue’s dazed eyes, Yuu fell into a long silence.
So soon?
So quickly, a heavyweight statement was made.
It left him a bit flustered.
“It seems that becoming a magical girl has quite a serious impact on wishes.”
Yuu Yu thought calmly.
A magical girl should amplify her own wishes or desires, that must be the case.
Thus, it led to the current problem.
Everything he said about others, in Wu Yue’s eyes, was likely unacceptable.
If he couldn’t persuade her here, then his future plans would be difficult to implement.
With that in mind, Yuu Yu decided to stop thinking about escape and instead met Wu Yue’s gaze, saying:
“Because this is all for you… and for the good of others.”
“As I said before, I might be able to help you in other ways, but when it comes to fighting… I can’t help you at all.”
“So—”
As he spoke, Yuu Yu filled Wu Yue’s empty cup with water and continued:
“I’m worried about you.”
“Because I can’t guarantee, nor can I confirm, that in your future battles, you will absolutely not get hurt, and that you will absolutely not make me worry.”
“What if you get hurt? What if you get hurt but still insist on fighting? What then?”
“Because that’s the kind of person you are, a fool who will do anything to help others, right?”
“So rather than living in fear of all the terrible things that might happen in the days to come—”
“Isn’t it better to resolve it now?”
In conclusion, Yuu Yu stated:
“So, this is why I believe I must win her over.”
“Because only in this way can your life be ensured…”
“Two magical girls fighting together is definitely safer than you fighting alone, right?”
“…That’s all I have to say.”
After finishing this sentence, Yuu Yu let out a long breath, then turned his head, casually observing the scenery outside the window.
Now, he had already begun to envision his response plan in case Wu Yue disagreed… after all, it was better to be prepared.
Of course, he still hoped it would all work out at once, as that would be best for both of them.
“…”
So, after a long period of time—
Hearing the sound of sobbing coming from across the table, Yuu Yu knew.
The words he had just spoken had an effect.
Thinking of this, he turned back to look at Wu Yue, who was already in tears, and skillfully pulled out a tissue. He sat down beside her, wiping her tears while apologetically saying:
“…I’m sorry, Wu Yue. I spoke without thinking, completely unaware of your feelings. It was my mistake.”
“Wuwuwu… no… you’re not wrong. It’s just… I can’t control my emotions. I know… you’re doing this for my sake.”
“But I don’t understand why… this strange feeling in my heart just won’t stop…”
“…I see.”
“Then… to get rid of this strange feeling…”
“Would you like to go for a walk with me in a bit?”
“…Mm.”
Nodding, Wu Yue, still crying, agreed.

After leaving the food shop.
You Yu walked beside Wu Yue, neither of them speaking, just slowly walking…
Unknowingly, You Yu and she arrived at the park.
They also reached… the place where they first met.
“At that time… I was here watering the flowers when I suddenly heard a loud noise from the bushes…”
“When I went in to take a look, I saw you lying on the ground, and it really startled me! I thought something had happened to you…”
“So, without thinking, I just took you home.”
At this point, Wu Yue showed a look of “I’m so lucky.”
“Even though later you lectured me, saying I was too careless.”
“But…”
“It was really great that I could do that back then…”
It was because of her decision at that time that she met You Yu, and her life’s trajectory changed.
She felt that while You Yu was grateful to her, how could she not be grateful to him?
It was because of his presence that she changed herself.
He helped her escape from those lonely, endless days.
And at a critical moment, he risked his life to protect her.
She was truly very grateful, very grateful to You Yu.
But… she herself…
Thinking of this, Wu Yue revealed a bitter smile to You Yu and said:
“Then… I’m sorry, Youyu.”
“I’ve already been so lucky, yet I’m still not satisfied, instead, I crave for more.”
“I’ve caused you trouble… I’m really sorry.”
“……”
“No.”
Shaking his head, Youyu denied her words.
“Pursuing happiness, seeking more happiness, is only natural; there’s nothing strange about it.”
“And you don’t need to apologize to me, because in this matter… we can say we are both at fault, or neither of us is.”
“……”
“Anyway, what I want to say is.”
“If a mistake has been made, then so be it; if there’s no mistake, it doesn’t matter.”
“What’s important is that I hope you can let this go…”
“If your mood can improve, that would be even better.”
“……”
After listening to Youyu’s words, Wuyue fell silent for a moment.
Then, she revealed a helpless smile to him.
As a result… no matter what she did or said,
She received Youyu’s understanding.
If he continued to treat her this way,
Then the strange emotions in her heart might become even harder to control…
So.
A change must be made here.
“……Hmm.”
“Youyu… I understand what you mean.”
“So, just now, I was also thinking… about Baiyu.”
I won’t oppose anymore; I must support everything Youyu does.
“What do you want to… do?”
“What to do?”
“……”
“Let’s talk about this tomorrow.”
—
Yuyu looked at Wuyue and said.
“…Huh? But didn’t you say…”
“Mm… Because back then, what I said and what I did were wrong.”
“Those things can’t make you happy.”
“And they don’t align with what we need to do today.”
“…So what is it that we need to do today?”
“What we need to do today is…”
“Isn’t it just to hang out with you?”
