NOVEL WEB Chapter 47
"..."
After hearing what Wu Yue said on his back, You Yu did not prepare to reply immediately, but walked faster while thinking quickly in his mind.
Why? Wu Yue asked such a question at this time? According to his prediction, before the "desire" in her heart reached its peak, she should not and could not ask this question.
Or...
"Is it coming so fast..."
It is not difficult to guess... It should be that a few days ago, all the exchanges between him and Bai Yu were seen by her, so she inevitably felt a "sense of crisis".
But now, because she has not had a clear relationship with him, she can't say anything to Bai Yu, so she can only stand aside and watch silently.
So, in order to remove the "sense of crisis" in her heart, or perhaps to make her future behavior justified.
So... she came up with the idea of "confirming the relationship".
The specific behavior logic is probably like this.
"..."
After reaching the conclusion, Youyu was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and said:
"Wuyue, let's go home now."
"......? But Youyu, you haven't..."
"Well, I know."
"What I want to say is that I will explain this problem to you when I get home."
"..."
"Okay."
The two of them didn't talk on the way, but rushed back home at a faster speed.
————
After returning home, Youyu made an excuse to let Wuyue take a shower, and then he relied on the plan that had been finalized in the past to put all the sharp knives in the house in a place where Wuyue couldn't find them easily.
Well... Although doing so may make him seem a little exaggerated, he still has to do it just in case.
After all, he is still just a "mortal" now, and he can't withstand the sharp blade and will bleed, that's for sure.
And once this happens... Once the knife falls, Wuyue should not be able to turn back.
It might really "break down", which is not what he wants to see.
Of course, the premise of his actions is that Wu Yue will not directly transform into a magical girl to mess with him.
If that time really comes, he may have to transform to let her calm down...
"Click."
While thinking, Wu Yue, who had already taken a shower and changed her clothes, also walked out of her room.
At this time, her expression and spirit were obviously not as tired as when she was outside, and she looked very good.
And... there was uncontrollable excitement in her eyes.
It was as if she really hoped that his next answer would be as she thought.
But...
"Sorry... Wu Yue."
You Yu apologized silently in his heart, as if to give himself a shot in advance?
After all, the next answer might... No, it would definitely disappoint Wu Yue.
"Now, let's talk about the question you asked me on the way."
After taking a sip of water and looking at Wu Yue sitting next to him, You Yu said.
"... Well, You Yu, it's okay to think about it slowly and then answer it. I know that this question should be very difficult for you, right? So, you can..."
"No, I've thought about it."
Shaking his head, You Yu took a deep breath, then turned his head, met her eyes, and said:
"You asked me before, how I see you, and what our current relationship is like, right?"
"Now, I'm here to tell you what I think the answer is."
"I think--"
"..."
"I think our current relationship is like that of family members."
"?! That is to say..."
"That is to say--"
Stop Wu Yue Seeing Wu Yue's excited look as if she was about to answer, You Yu pondered for a while and said:
"That is to say, in my eyes, you are someone who needs help and care..."
"Sister."
"..."
"Huh?"
Before Wu Yue could react, You Yu took advantage of her dazed look and continued:
"Once, after you became a magical girl, I thought about how I should treat you? How should I help you? Later, I thought about it for a long time and came up with an answer-"
"That is, treat you as a relative, the most important person, and help you as the most important person, even if you don't notice it."
"Because you... don'tYes, or in other words, after you become a magical girl, you may live in battles from now on, which will definitely be painful. "
"I don't want to see this, I want to help you, whether it's about life or about battles, I will do my best to help."
"... And, although it may be a bit embarrassing to say, I still want to say, Wu Yue, during the time I spent with you, um... should I say it's your character? Or behavior? Or beauty? Or all three..."
"In short, it's these three things you have that attracted me."
"The more I think about it, the more I feel that a girl like you has become a magical girl, which is really a lucky thing for those people in this world who suffer from evil organizations."
"But... think about it the other way around, what about you? Even if you subjectively believe that you have the power to protect others, it is a lucky thing..."
"Does the objective pain no longer exist?"
"No, it will definitely exist. ”
“So, from that time on, in the vague definition of ‘relatives’, I secretly gave myself… and you, an identity.”
“…”
“As a ‘brother’, I support you, help you, and if necessary… even if I risk my life, I have to protect you.”
“Because, if I treat you as my closest person—my sister, I think I can do anything.”
“This is the answer I gave.”
“…”
“So, is that the case?”
“To support me, to protect me… So you have always treated me in this way…”
After listening to Youyu’s answer, Wuyue no longer felt as happy as she did at the beginning. Instead, she felt as calm as before.
“…”
“Ha… hahaha. "
But... for some reason, after she suddenly turned her head and lowered her head, she actually... laughed.
However, it was not a weird, collapsed laugh, Youyu could still hear it.
What was in the laugh... self-mockery? Reluctance? Disappointment? It should be these.
And... there was no crying, but tears still flowed down her cheeks.
"..."
Looking at her "calmed" mood, Youyu silently absorbed the negative emotions in the dark, but did not freeze. He took a piece of paper from the tissue box next to him and handed it over.
Just...
"Snap!"
At that moment! Wu Yue suddenly grabbed the hand he handed over! Then turned around and said:
"But... Youyu, the relationship I want is not like that..."
She said the answer she really wanted-
"What I want is a closer..."
"Relationship."
