NOVEL WEB Chapter 74
"......still alive?"
After hearing Bai Yu's words, Wu Yue did not show a happy look, but was surprised for a moment, frowned, and said:
"No, how is this possible? If you say that You Yu is still alive, then where is he now? If he is really alive, then he must be here now..."
"Listen to me first, Wu Yue."
Bai Yu interrupted Wu Yue's words and sighed, looked at her, and said:
"Actually, after I came to the place where you fought, I saw the snake knight. At that time, he was standing there. I was there and saw you and You Yu falling down."
"After I came there, I fought with him, but I didn't beat him and lost."
"After losing... that guy told me that you watched You Yu being transformed into a negative beast, and then because of Because I couldn't save him, I was forced to kill him."
"I don't believe him, because I checked Youyu's life status, he obviously still has a little breath, but not much."
"It can be said that he is indeed on the verge of death, but he is not completely dead."
"But, he does have the breath of negative beasts."
"Maybe because he also knows this, so after he said those words to me, he carried Youyu and left."
"The reason why he took Youyu away is because he wanted to use this as a threat to force us to fight him."
"Sorry, I couldn't stop him."
"..."
"If you don't believe it, you can take a look at this."
Speaking, Bai Yu took down a red flower from the cabinet next to him and handed it to Wu Yue.
Then he said:
"This flower fell from Youyu when the snake knight carried Youyu away... If I'm not mistaken, this should be a gift from Youyu to you, right? Wuyue."
"After all, you like flowers the most. I often see you near the flower beds in the school."
"..."
Looking at the flower handed over by Bai Yu, Wuyue's eyes showed surprise and excitement that could not be concealed for a short time, but then she calmed down, took the flower handed over by Bai Yu, and looked at it carefully.
"...It's Youyu's breath."
After looking at it for a while, Wuyue sighed deeply, then gently placed the flower on the bedside, and stared at the flower for a long time.
Then, she turned her head, and the expression on her face changed from sadness at the beginning to seriousness, and said:
"Bai Yu, if the real situation is really as you said, then we have to prepare quickly now, we have to quickly come up with a way to defeat the snake knight!"
Is Youyu dead? Or is Bai Yu's information true? How high is the possibility? In Wu Yue's opinion, it doesn't matter now.
Now... the only thing she knows is that Youyu may still have a chance of survival!
Although the hope is not great, as long as there is still a little bit, just a little bit——
Just this point alone is worth her fighting!
No matter what the cost!
"Huh! Then without further ado, let's go now--"
"Wait a minute! Wu Yue!"
"What's wrong? Bai Yu?"
Seeing Wu Yue preparing to get out of bed and take action immediately, Bai Yu stopped her, then took a deep breath and said:
"There are some things... I want to tell you, Wu Yue. If I don't say those words here, then I may not be able to let it go later."
"What are you talking about? Bai Yu?"
"...Are you worried about something now?"
Seeing Bai Yu's gloomy expression, Wu Yue also realized that she was going to say something, so she gave up the idea of getting out of bed, sat on the bed, and waited for her to speak.
After a while, Bai Yu looked at her with an apologetic look and said:
"Wu Yue, I want to give you a sincere...apology."
"Apologize? To me? Why? Bai Yu, you have never done anything bad to us, right? Except for the time when you owed me money?"
"...I'm not talking about this, but about something that happened not long ago."
Speaking of this, Bai Yu shook his head.
"That's right, when I first started training with you, I wasn't very good at communicating with you at that time, so basically, it was you and You Yu who took the initiative to talk to me."
"At the beginning, I was actually a little resistant to you...but, slowly, after being with you for a long time, I was no longer the same as at the beginning.”
“When I talk to you, I am always very happy and relaxed. Especially, when I hear you and Youyu saying good things about each other and talking about each other’s affairs, I feel very envious and happy for you.”
“…”
After a pause, Bai Yu continued:
“During that period, the person who talked to me the longest was Youyu.”
“At that time, he often came to ask me how you were doing, and often came to ask me if you had seen anything you liked and wanted to buy you one… Every time I heard him say this, I would feel very happy, because he really cared about you.”
“But, every time I talked to him, I didn’t pay attention to… your situation, Wuyue.”
“I know everything, you——”
“Okay, okay! Stop it, Bai Yu, I know what you want to say! "
Before Bai Yu could continue, Wu Yue waved her hand, interrupting her intention to continue.
"You want to say that you are sorry for not paying attention to me, which led to this kind of thing, right? I have already guessed it! After all, I have apologized to Youyu in this way several times before!"
"But - to use his words, that is, none of us is wrong! Or, everyone is wrong!"
"After all, the reason why I quarreled with Youyu was that I was narrow-minded and 'jealous', right?"
"And you... In fact, no matter what you do, it is your freedom, and at that time, you also wanted to provide Youyu with my living conditions, which made him laugh like that, right?"
"So, in fact, I misunderstood! You did nothing wrong!"
"... No."
Shaking his head, Bai Yu denied her statement.
"Whether indirectly or directly, I have affected you. ”
“Originally… this was an avoidable mistake, but I didn’t do it.”
“So——”
Bai Yu lowered her head, took a deep breath, looked at Wu Yue, and said:
“At least give a punishment, or something I need to help you do.”
“… In this way, at least I can feel at ease.”
“…”
“Seek peace of mind?”
After listening to Bai Yu’s words, Wu Yue looked at her, thought for a while, and said in a half-real and half-joking tone:
“Then… if, I mean if, if we can save You Yu, let’s try to lock him up, right?”
“…Lock him up?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Nodding, Wu Yue looked at the flower on the bedside, sighed, and said:
“Actually, since the quarrel with him, I have no longer had this idea. "
"But... this time, Youyu was targeted by Night Demon and Snake Knight."
"..."
"So, in the future, if we want to protect Youyu, we may have to lock him up at home-"
"..."
"Is that so?"
Not noticing Wu Yue's half-joking tone, Bai Yu touched his chin and thought seriously.
Maybe, if Youyu is rescued this time-
We really have to try to do that.
