Raise a magical girl and then regret it for the rest of your life? !

…

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Ugh!”

The vines passed by, and the ground cracked.

Time and again, Wu Yue failed to make any effective resistance, but just stretched out her hands to block in front of her, resisting the damage from the plant-type negative beast in front of her.

Obviously, with her current strength, this plant-type negative beast is not strong at all for Wu Yue... But she didn't have any idea of ​​attacking, just unilaterally defending its attack.

Finally, in one of her defenses, she couldn't resist it, and when her attention was distracted, she was hit in the stomach by the vines of the negative beast.

So, she was knocked out, and she stopped after flying for a long distance.

“Cough cough!”

Bumping into the barrier, coughing a few times, touching her stomach, Wu Yue raised her head and looked at the plant-type negative beast in front of her. For a while, the whole person stayed in place, with a slightly confused look in her eyes, not knowing what to do.

"..."

"Why... Youyu, you become like that."

After a long while, Wu Yue bit her lips and stood up from a half-squatting position, saying so with a tearful tone.

"How could I... do that..."

The negative beast in front of her was transformed by Youyu.

I don't know why, or what means, she was turned into this by the Night Demon.

From the beginning, when she realized that Youyu had become a negative beast, her mood had undoubtedly fallen to the bottom. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was completely desperate.

But...she still thought that if she could find a chance to catch the Night Demon, then Youyu might be able to come back.

It's just...like the current situation.

"..."

After moving her eyes away from "Youyu", Wu Yue looked behind him - the Night Demon surrounded by three giant ants.

In the current situation, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream to bypass the four layers of protection and forcibly capture the Night Demon.

However, for this only possibility, she still fought for a long time.

Again and again, she tried to pass through "Youyu's" attack and capture the Night Demon.

Then... again and again, she was driven back by "Youyu's" ruthless attack on her.

Slowly... time began to drag on.

Wu Yue's mentality at this moment also gradually became a little numb and desperate.

"... So, don't make a decision yet? Magic girl."

Looking at Wu Yue who stood up, the Night Demon asked calmly:

"Don't decide yet? Kill the enemy in front of you."

"If you continue to drag it on, it will not be good for you..."

"You should understand this, right? Magic girl."

"..."

Of course she understands this...

Looking at the black barriers gradually fading away, Wu Yue thought.

That Night Demon…in order to get his so-called “experimental results”, he came up with a method of lowering black barriers to force her to make a decision.

Those black barriers will disappear completely soon, and then they will be able to interfere with the isolated outside world.

To put it simply, after these black barriers disappear completely, those ordinary people who should not be involved in this battle will be involved by “Youyu”.

“…”

“What should I do… Youyu.”

Looking at the raging plant-type negative beast in front of her, Wu Yue fell into a deep silence.

Now she really doesn’t know what to do.

She tried to tell “Youyu” her memories in order to regain his sanity, but the result was only his more violent attacks.

She also tried to see if she could achieve purification through attacks with a small amount of magic power to make “Youyu” change back, but the result was… his more tragic roar.

Slowly, her actions have become timid. Until now, she can only defend unilaterally and can't do anything else...

It will definitely not work if it continues like this.

Now, there are barriers surrounding them, which means that no matter how much trouble "Youyu" makes, he can only hurt her.

But soon, after those barriers disappear, he will attack more than just her.

If, out of her personal desire, she can still accept Youyu's attack and not fight back.

Then, after the barrier disappears, he will hurt ordinary people, and she may not be able to follow her own desires.

Because...

"Youyu, maybe you also...You don't want to see this."

Wu Yue smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Now she...remembered the time when she had just become a magical girl. She asked Youyu a question out of curiosity——

...

〖Youyu, if those negative beasts are transformed from animals in nature, then, is it possible for us humans to become negative beasts?〗

〖Hmm? Regarding your question...I think it should be possible, after all, humans are also creatures in nature! So, it is possible to become a negative beast!〗

〖Alas~ is this Like that? Well... I really hope that this is impossible. If this is true, then that person may not be saved. I don't want to do something like that... taking away another person's life because of a group of people's lives! 〗

〖... Well, I understand your feelings, Wu Yue. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to do this. 〗

〖But... if the person who becomes a negative beast is me, then I hope you can get rid of me. 〗

〖Huh? ! Why are you suddenly saying this? Youyu? It's too weird to talk about this topic at this time ? ! 〗

〖Well... don't take it too seriously. You can think I'm just pretending to be cool, or I'm just being a middle school student or something. Anyway, what I want to say is——〗

〖Compared to my own life, I actually care more about other people's lives.〗

〖... If someone else dies because of my problem, I might regret it for the rest of my life.〗

〖So——if, I mean if, if there really is such a time.〗

〖Please stop me, Wu Yue, by yourself!〗

〖It doesn't matter even if you kill me, okay?〗

〖Well... and you have to remember, if If that time comes, don't despair. You have to believe that the future is still bright...〗

〖...What are you saying!〗

〖How could there be such a time!〗

〖Whether it's you or anyone else, I will definitely protect them together!〗

...

The memories end here.

Coming back to her senses, looking at the black barrier that has completely disappeared, and looking at the eager look of "Youyu", Wu Yue clenched her fists and took a deep breath.

Then, she wiped the tears from her face with her right arm.

"Sorry... Youyu. "

Looking at the cake that was slapped on the ground and had lost its shape.

Looking at the flowers that had withered and broken into pieces.

Wu Yue whispered:

"Now I... no longer have the ability to keep the promise I made at that time..."

Broken promise, once again.

It was clearly agreed to protect Youyu and to have a good birthday today.

Don't let anyone get hurt, and let everyone have a happy ending.

But... it has become the current situation.

So... now she can only keep the promise she made with Youyu at that time.

Even though she doesn't like... and doesn't want to fulfill that promise.

But...

"..."

"Now I, perhaps this is the only thing I can do."

Speaking, Wu Yue slowly raised her right fist that was burning with flames.

Then, the whole person jumped forward and instantly jumped in front of "Youyu" -

Then...

"I'm sorry, Youyu. "

The fist burning with fire swung forward.
