NOVEL WEB Chapter 54
Riding a specially modified motorcycle, after driving all the way, Youyu soon arrived at the place agreed with Baiyu.
And she had been waiting there early, and waved to him when she saw him coming.
Then, after Youyu got off the car and walked towards her, Baiyu spoke first:
"Wait a minute, Youyu, there is something I haven't told you yet."
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Youyu seemed to be a little confused, Baiyu sighed and said:
"... Actually, I just want to make it clear in advance that the reason I asked you to come here this time was not about the negative beast, but about you and Wuyue."
"After all, you..."
"? Of course I know this? Didn't we reach a consensus at that time?"
"... Huh?"
Hearing Youyu's words, Baiyu was stunned for a moment, and was a little dumbfounded for a while.
Had we reached a consensus at that time? What consensus was reached?
How could she not know?
"... Could it be that you didn't see it at all at that time? I'm referring to this matter..."
After roughly guessing what Bai Yu was like, You Yu couldn't help but feel speechless.
So she didn't know anything at that time... No wonder she chose to talk about this matter offline.
He understood what Bai Yu meant, but she didn't.
This situation is really something...
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."
Knowing that time is precious, Youyu didn't intend to waste time on this small issue, so he skipped it and said to her directly:
"Bai Yu, if you have anything you want to ask me, just ask."
"After all, the situation between Wu Yue and me... you should be able to see it, it's quite obvious."
"... I thought you didn't know."
After a moment of silence, Bai Yu pointed to the bench not far away where they would sit and rest after training in the past, and said:
"Let's go there and talk about your matter now."
"Sit down... and talk slowly."
————
"..."
"Then, I'm going to start asking, my tone may be a little bad, please forgive me, Youyu."
"It's okay, you ask."
"... Yeah."
Nodding, Bai Yu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he became that stern look.
She looked at Youyu with such eyes and said:
"So, what I want to ask is, what did you do to Wuyue? Why did she become like that yesterday? Why does she look... like... afraid of you?"
"Please answer truthfully, I want to know the truth of the matter!"
"... Well, I can see how much you care about Wuyue, but this matter is really not as bad as you think."
Youyu sighed and shook his head. He guessed that Baiyu must have misunderstood him in some aspects, so he decided not to play tricks with her and explained directly:
"On Saturday, after leaving your cake shop, I took her out to play for a whole day."
"Then... on the way home, Wuyue asked me what I thought of her."
"..."
"What's your answer?"
"Well, after returning home, I answered her like this-"
As he said, Youyu turned his head and looked at the sky that had just darkened.
"I treat you as a relative and a sister."
"..."
"Then what?"
"Then ah..."
As if thinking of something, Youyu sighed helplessly and said:
"Then she said that she wanted to have a closer relationship with me."
"That is, a couple."
After hearing this, Bai Yu finally guessed it. After a moment of silence, she said:
"...So, you rejected her?"
"Yes, I rejected her."
"..."
After hearing Youyu's answer, Bai Yu was silent for a while. For some reason, she suddenly felt a burst of inexplicable anger, but soon, she suppressed it again. Then, after taking a deep breath, she continued to ask:
"What's the reason?"
"A very simple reason is that I can't give her long-term happiness now."
"...I can't give it, why?"
"Because I don't have the ability."
Shaking his head, Youyu continued to speak according to the reasons he had given before.
"I am...nothing special about me now. At best, I am just your 'logistics'. I am just an ordinary person."
"...and,Because Wu Yue has the special identity of a magical girl. Whether in terms of duties, power, or life level, she is completely different from me——"
"Therefore, the two of us can be said to be two completely different beings in the same world."
"So... it is not realistic to develop that kind of relationship."
"... Is that the reason?"
"Yes."
"..."
Hearing this, Bai Yu, who had been suppressing something, seemed to finally be unable to bear it. He stood up suddenly, grabbed You Yu's collar, and "asked" him with a roaring posture:
"Honestly! From the beginning! I don't understand at all! What are you talking about? ! You Yu!"
"Saying something like 'can't give happiness', and then easily, relying on this reason, rejected Wu Yue, and then made her become what she is now!"
"Then, what is your previous promise? ! !"
"Tell me?! You Yu! If you really think so, then why didn't you leave at that time, when I found you, but stayed by her side?! "
"A long time ago! Wu Yue told me that the reason why she is like this now... the reason why she can live so "happy" is because of you! Youyu!"
"She likes you, you like her, isn't that good?! Why do you refuse?! Is there any practical benefit for you to refuse her?! "
"And didn't you deny the view that 'having a relationship with a magical girl will definitely not end well' before?! "
"What are you... avoiding?! Youyu! Why did you let the situation develop into what it is now? ! "
"Tell me! ! Youyu! ! "
Looking at Youyu in front of her, Bai Yu felt extremely irritated.
In fact, she didn't expect this to happen at first, and she didn't think about doing this to Youyu at first.
But... she really couldn't help it, really couldn't help it.
Because, before, when she was with Youyu and Wuyue, she heard a lot about each other from them, and without exception, they were all good things.
They told her about their relationship, and they told her how lucky they were to meet each other.
Listening to what they told her, Bai Yu always felt very emotional and envious in her heart-
Wuyue was able to meet someone worthy of How lucky it is to have someone you trust and rely on.
…
Youyu said that he would do his best to give Wuyue happiness.
And Wuyue also said that she would do her best to protect everyone's lives, including Youyu's life.
Baiyu, who listened silently, always kept their words in mind.
But… at that time, Youyu, who promised to give Wuyue happiness, denied his past promise at this moment.
She really couldn't help it, really couldn't help it…
When she thought of Wuyue's appearance yesterday, and when she thought of Youyu's behavior at this moment——
She felt unfortunate for Wuyue and puzzled about Youyu.
So, she said:
"… Or is it that everything you have done so far is all lies?!"
