NOVEL WEB Chapter 42
Of course, at present, this is not what Youyu needs to focus on.
Because... after listening to her story, what kind of reaction he should make is the most important.
"Because you have been hurt, you don't want to see similar things happen again..."
"I, I understand your thoughts a little bit, Bai Yu."
After saying this, Youyu was silent for a while, and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, before... I thought you were just unwilling to accept us. Although I thought of this aspect at that time, I didn't explore it too much, which caused the misunderstanding now."
"... It doesn't matter. After all, I didn't say anything at that time, right? If it weren't for this incident... I might not have the opportunity to say it."
"Well, anyway, it's good that the misunderstanding is resolved."
"..."
Then, after saying this, the atmosphere between them fell into silence again, and no one spoke.
Until the two of them couldn't stand this atmosphere, turned their heads to each other, and met each other's eyes-
They were stunned for a while.
Then, with a small expression, he smiled slightly.
"...Anyway, it's fine no matter what!"
After shaking his head, Youyu supported the wall with some effort, stood up again, and said:
"After all, our mission... has not been completed perfectly."
"Now, I have rested enough... So I have to go see how Wu Yue is doing."
"But it's definitely not possible to rely on me alone... How are you now? Can you come too?"
"..."
"Yes."
Nodding, Bai Yu agreed to his request.
"It's just... You were obviously injured just now, but you took me so far, and after such intense exercise, are you really okay?"
"... Well, whether there is a problem or not, I still have to go."
"If it's a physical problem, it's okay, but if Wu Yue has an accident, I will have psychological problems..."
"..."
"Is that so."
It seems that Wu Yue is really a lucky person.
Even though he was seriously injured and had little time to rest, he still missed her.
He didn't even consider whether he could help Wu Yue, and rushed over.
It was really enviable...
After all, she had been like this before.
After losing her last relative, she missed and envied this feeling even more.
It would be great if she could experience it again.
"Hey~ Youyu, are you really like this~? It seems like you can't live without me..."
However, at this moment, an unexpected voice suddenly appeared.
When they both looked in the direction where the voice came from, they saw Wu Yue, who had already lifted her transformation and was laughing.
"Wu Yue?!"
Youyu called out her name in surprise.
"Have you... solved all those monsters by yourself? Just you?!"
"Of course! Otherwise, how could I still be standing here?"
"...That's really amazing...But you shouldn't be injured, right? After all, you're facing four monsters alone."
"Injured or something, of course there are some~ But they're just minor scratches."
"...The point is, Youyu, it's you? You should be...seriously injured, right?"
As she spoke, Wu Yue slowly raised her hand and approached Youyu at the same time, then placed her hand on the wound on Youyu's forehead.
Even through the white cloth...she could see the red color that was almost overflowing.
Seeing this red...she couldn't help but think of the last time she saw him injured, which was really...not worth her recalling.
"...I'm sorry, Youyu."
After sighing, Wu Yue said with guilt:
"If I had come earlier, maybe this wouldn't have happened."
"...But don't worry, I'll treat you now--"
"No! That's not necessary!"
Seeing Wu Yue's arm begin to glow pink, Youyu was startled and quickly took a step back, shaking his hand and rejecting her.
After all, now...he is definitely not a human species, so whether this will be exposed or not, the discomfort brought by the "treatment" alone is unbearable for him.
So, unless he has to, he usually won't accept any "treatment"."Well... I just, just now I have rested enough! Because of Bai Yu's help... I have rested enough!"
"You said... right? Bai Yu?"
"... Ah? Ah! Well, that's right, just after we escaped, I used the remaining magic power to help Youyu and heal his injuries, so now, he should be fine."
After hearing Youyu throw the topic to her, Bai Yu was stunned at first, then quickly reacted and said these words.
The purpose of his behavior... Bai Yu knew that it was to hide his injuries in order not to worry Wu Yue.
In fact, she originally planned not to hide it and tell Wu Yue directly, but when she saw that he was really energetic now, she fell into doubt again.
Because... Youyu recovered too quickly, right? The forehead was injured... Such an important part should not be fine.
However, seeing that he really looked fine, she decided to help Youyu conceal the matter.
Although she knew that this might not be very useful——
"Hmm... I see~ Well, it's easy to imagine!"
However, unexpectedly, Wu Yue seemed to agree with her statement and said to her with a smile:
"After all, you just rested your head on Yu Yu's lap, right? I saw it clearly?"
"... Oh? When..."
"Well... It was when you just stopped! At that time, I wanted to come to you immediately! But when I saw Yu Yu talking to you, I thought it would be better not to disturb you..."
"At that time, Yu Yu was lying on your lap , with a comfortable look on his face, I have never seen him like that~"
"It seems... his expression is much better than when I gave him the 'treatment'?! Next time, I might try to do this~"
"..."
"...Is that so?"
Looking at Wu Yue who still kept that smile and said something incredible, Bai Yu pursed her lips and finally said in a low voice:
"...I'm sorry, Wu Yue."
"...Apologize? Although I am a little angry! But the reason is not here."
After hearing Bai Yu's low apology, Wu Yue was stunned at first, then smiled and shook her head.
Then, she continued:
"Well, in short--"
As she said that, Wu Yue took You Yu's hand and Bai Yu's hand.
"Let's go home now?"
When she said this, her smile was brighter than before.
