Chapter 26
"Hmm... Yeah, OK, no problem, I'll rush over now."
"Then, I'll hang up first."
"Beep--"
After hanging up the phone, Youyu sighed deeply, looked at the sky above his head, and couldn't help but smile.
"The plan... was completed perfectly~"
The first appearance of the Snake Knight was completed.
The first battle of the Snake Knight was also over.
He had originally thought that if he wanted to execute the first step of his plan, he would fail at some stage.
He had obviously made preparations for the "Contracted Beast" to appear.
But now it seems that he was still too worried.
"Well, you did a good job, Youyu."
Nodding, the Mamba in Youyu's body agreed.
"Although I don't understand why you appeared, it's enough that you can teach that guy a lesson."
"...So do I have to explain it to you again in the end?"
That's right, he can't expect Mamba to understand everything.
After all, he may be the only one who does this in this world, so... behavioral logic and so on may be a little abstract.
Then, let's explain it slowly.
Anyway, there will be no problem in terms of time.
"I want to ask you a question, Mamba."
"? What?"
"I don't know if you have a saying of 'good and evil'."
"Don't do righteous things, nor do evil things, just for your own ideas, for your own ideas, and flip back and forth between the two."
"I will play such an existence as the Snake Knight in the future."
"...I see, jumping back and forth between 'good' and 'evil'? Give both groups a 'lesson' at the same time? Youyu, you are too talented!"
"So that means, your 'Snake Knight' setting is finally perfect?!"
After listening to his explanation, Mamba said excitedly.
"Well, you can understand it this way. The most important thing is that I want to use this identity to do things that are beneficial to those "good" and "evil" from time to time."
"Then at a certain moment, when I confront the magical girls... or when I stand with them."
"When they discover my true identity and misunderstand me--"
"Then, the despair of being deceived, or regret and anger, these emotions will burst out."
"At that time, I can get a lot of negative emotions."
In fact, there are some deeper truths in it, but in order for Mamba to understand, what he said is enough.
Although it may be a bit thankless to do so, there are obviously more choices, but he has to choose this kind of trick that may mess up interpersonal relationships and feelings.
But... this may be because.
He enjoys this feeling a little bit?
Enjoy the feeling of others "regretting for life" and then get pleasure from it?
Well... after all, he is a villain, this is very reasonable!
Of course, despite this, he would still maintain his sense of propriety and would not do anything that would hurt them too much.
After all, he just wanted to create some negative emotions to strengthen himself, not to kill anyone.
However, he still needed to consider a lot about the future.
For now, let's just wait and see.
"Well! But... that, the situation of 'yandere', don't you care? Youyu, according to what you said, this kind of behavior may lead to the emergence of yandere, which seems to seriously hinder the implementation of your plan?"
"..."
"So I said just wait and see!"
Okay, after a little crazy in his mind, he did remember that there was such a problem.
However... from the current situation, Wu Yue should be the only one with the potential of "yandere".
Then, as long as he can ensure that his behavior is not too extreme and the stimulation is not too great, it will be fine.
Thinking of this, Youyu rushed to Wu Yue and Bai Yu...
————
Then... he came to the hospital.
"What's the situation?"
Looking at Bai Yu who frowned, closed his eyes, and obviously didn't want to talk, You Yu asked Wu Yue who was standing beside him.
"I don't know much either."
Shaking her head, Wu Yue said.
"This guy... after she finished her transformation, she seemed to be suddenly out of spirit and almost fell down."
"I also tried to use my ability to treat her... but it seems that it can only heal the wound, not her spirit."
"So, I can only bring her here."
"...I see."
ClickedNodding, Youyu understood what happened.
Well... to be honest, he had been quite gentle before, and didn't specifically target a certain place. He basically hit her once and then talked back, and gave her enough time to breathe.
It couldn't be because of the fight between him and her... that she became like this now, right?
Well, that really makes me feel guilty...
But the main reason should be that he attacked her late, causing her to get hurt. After all, at that time, he thought Bai Yu could easily deal with those guys, so he just watched from the side.
Next time, don't hesitate too long.
Thinking this in his heart, Youyu looked at her current state, and then looked at the medical bills next to her, and said:
"Then I will go and pay the money for you now, you can rest here first."
"?! Wait..."
Hearing Youyu's words, Bai Yu, who had her eyes closed, could no longer remain silent. She opened her eyes and said:
"It's just this little money, I can still afford it! You don't need to help me!"
"......? What are you talking about? Bai Yu."
Hearing Bai Yu's words, Youyu said a little speechlessly:
"You can't even pay me back, and you still say you want to pay it yourself?"
"And this time, you became like this because of fighting those monsters, right?"
"Although I can't help you in the battle, I can still help you in terms of economy and logistics. If you have to pay for your own medical expenses after being injured, then I'm a waste."
"So don't resist here, just accept my help."
Speaking, Youyu picked up the bill and walked out the door.
"If you need anything later, call me or Wu Yue."
"By the way, I'll give you a 50% discount on the money you owe."
After saying this, before she could react, You Yu left to pay the medical bills.
Only Wu Yue and Bai Yu were left.
"Ah~ It's like this again, You Yu."
Watching You Yu leave, Wu Yue sighed.
"Don't be surprised, Bai Yu, he is such a person, once he decides on something, it is hard to stop him, just like me~"
"..."
After hearing Wu Yue's words, Bai Yu was silent for a while, and then said:
"But... do you have a reason to help me? Does he have a reason to help me? No matter what I become, you should not be affected, right?"
"...Ah? What are you talking about? Is your brain broken?"
"First of all! We are not cold and heartless people. When we see someone suffering, we will naturally help, no matter who the other party is!"
"Secondly, you are also a magical girl, our partner, helping you is a normal thing, right?"
After hearing Bai Yu ask this question, Wu Yue looked at her dumbfounded.
"Or do you have some... psychological condition that is difficult to explain? So you ask this kind of question? That is indeed a bit dangerous, I can understand you!"
"...No."
Bai Yu shook her head helplessly and denied it.
She... didn't mean to reject their kindness or something.
Becoming her partner and fighting against those negative beasts together was her original purpose.
But... she didn't know whether she should let Youyu join.
"Youyu..."
She murmured the name.
Maybe what Wu Yue said was not completely wrong.
At least now, after a brief contact, she could still barely see why Wu Yue didn't want to leave him.
But thinking of what happened before, she was still a little hesitant.
Should she involve an ordinary person in this battle that should not belong to him.
