Chapter 7
"Wu Yue, if possible, let me take care of some of your life in the future."
"After all, you are alone at home, whether it is hygiene, housework, or water and electricity bills, you have to take care of them all by yourself, right?"
"At this age, it is not easy for you to study and take care of financial issues."
"And because of this financial problem, you basically... at this stage of your life, you spend almost all your time working and studying. After all, I have also learned about the subsidies from your school, and it is not much at all."
"If this continues for a long time, without relaxation and proper leisure and play, you will sooner or later not be able to hold on."
"Your 'lateness' problem may be caused by these things."
"So, I want to help you, whether it is housework or money."
You Yu looked at her and said these words earnestly.
After all, he himself was quite touched by this aspect of "high school hell difficulty", because he had spent a period of time in the past when he was occasionally insane, and he almost played with him.
But because of this, with this experience, it was convenient for him to take advantage of the topic and complete today's "business".
And, perhaps because of this reason, the tone of his words made it easier for Wu Yue to convince...
"... Of course I understand this simple truth! I will occasionally go to see flowers to relax myself!"
"It's just... I really didn't have a choice before."
Wu Yue blushed and said embarrassedly.
A person's life is not as simple as most people imagine. After losing her grandmother, she realized this more clearly.
Losing the protection of her elders, she had to learn things that had nothing to do with her in the past, so that she suffered a lot in this regard.
But she could only do this alone. After all, because she was studying and working all day, she had very little time to communicate with others, and it was limited to just saying hello.
Even if she had an unimaginable passion, she had nowhere to go.
So, she had no one to talk to.
And now...
There was one more person who could actually help her.
"So, what do you think?"
"... Well, I think it's okay to leave some things to you!"
"Then-"
"But!"
Before Youyu could react, Wuyue pointed at him and said:
"The premise of leaving these things to you is that you also tell me about yourself!"
"You said you want to help me, I am very grateful! I also think it's totally okay to leave the housework to you!"
"But, money? How can you help me with this? I think I need to understand this aspect!"
"Besides, your current appearance... you don't look much older than me, right? I haven't asked you before... Now I also want to ask, where was your previous home? Have you dropped out of school? How did you get here?"
"Also! The identity of 'lifesaver'... Is this alone worth you doing these things for me?"
After hearing what Wuyue said, Youyu was stunned for a moment.
"...When you help others, you are so desperate, but when faced with the help of others, you are suspicious of everything? What a weird personality..."
You Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart.
But this may be one of the reasons why she can become a magical girl.
Back to the topic, in fact, he originally thought that a child with a distinct personality like Wu Yue would easily accept his "good intentions" as long as he opened his heart.
But now it seems that he took it for granted...
However, after all, it involves "money" and the most core aspect of his origin, so it is normal for her to have concerns.
But isn't it a little late to ask about his background now?
Forget it... It doesn't matter, anyway, he will tell about his own things sooner or later.
Although I can't guarantee whether it is true or not.
"You're asking now... Although the timing is a bit wrong, I'll still explain it to you."
"After all, I was listening to you yesterday, and you didn't know me very well."
Clearing his throat by coughing, Youyu looked into Wu Yue's eyes, stared at her, and said without avoiding the question:
"Then let's start with age."
"Well... As you can see, I look like I'm almost in the same age as you.'age' level, after all, he just turned 18. "
"As for my home... To be honest, it doesn't exist now, just think of it as being 'demolished'."
"Is this really the case?"
Although what Youyu said sounded true, Wu Yue still felt a little uncomfortable, so she asked:
"... Well, there are still many things that I can't explain, so how did you get here?"
"Obvious things."
Shrugged, Youyu stretched out his left hand, pulled up his sleeve, pointed to the scars that had not yet completely disappeared, and said:
"Of course, it was human trafficking. You know, after people enter society, they will be blinded by some things... Well, I am the unlucky one. ”
“… Sorry, but didn’t you say before that you had heatstroke? And then you said you fell while parachuting…”
“…”
This question really made Youyu silent.
“Huh~ Asking such a question… Either you are stupid or I am stupid.”
“Ah? What do you mean?”
Seeing Wuyue suddenly return to her previous dull appearance, Youyu said angrily:
“… I mean, such an obvious and fake reason, did you really believe it at that time?”
“Did you not even distinguish such a simple lie in order to save people at that time? If I had any intentions, what should you do?”
“Ah! This…”
“… So, I am worried about you.”
After seeing Wuyue fall into the state of “self-blame” again, Youyu felt that the time was ripe, so he instantly arranged the next words in his mind and said:
“You let me see my past self, at that time… I was in a similar state to you. ”
“I did ‘good things’, many, many ‘good things’, but no one knew about it, no one admitted it, even though I didn’t expect these things in the beginning.”
“But…what was the result? The result of doing this was being betrayed, and in the end, I had to bear all that myself…”
“Because of this, I can’t even go to school.”
“…”
“Sorry.”
Wu Yue said in a low voice.
“And recently, because my ‘kindness’ relapsed again…”
“As a result, when I was looking for a job, I was brought here by a bad guy.”
“…”
“So, that’s all my story, although it’s a simplified version… um? Are you still listening?”
Reacting, seeing Wu Yue who hadn’t responded for a long time and lowered her head, You Yu couldn’t help but sigh and said:
“So, this reason is also the reason why I want to help you.”
“But the bigger reason is that I can’t bear to see you live such a difficult life… After all, my ‘kindness’ is not dead yet. ”
“…”
Seeing that Wu Yue still didn’t reply, You Yu thought for a while and prepared to play his last trump card:
“…Then, if you don’t accept it, I understand, after all, my tone does sound a bit ‘superior’.”
“And…to be honest, I did this because I have some personal feelings involved, after all…in terms of social interaction, my situation is similar to yours.”
“…”
“…But don’t worry, if you refuse, I won’t do so much.”
“Like you said, I’ll just help you with the housework.”
“Although…since I’m living in your house, you still have to bear all the water and electricity bills, which makes me a little unhappy…but you are my ‘lifesaver’ after all, there is no doubt about that.”
“So –”
“You still have the final say. "
After saying this, Youyu turned his head away and didn't look at her again.
All that should be said and could be said was said.
Now all he had to do was wait.
So -
"..."
Ten minutes passed.
"..."
Twenty minutes passed.
"Okay..."
Then in the 30th minute, Wu Yue said this word in a tearful tone.
