NOVEL WEB Chapter 8
"Done?"
"Done."
"..."
Looking at Youyu lying on the bed and starting to browse his phone, Mamba didn't know what to say for a moment.
Well... just now, after an "overwhelming" conversation, Youyu successfully persuaded Wuyue and made her agree to accept help.
Obviously, everything seemed so perfect and so smooth, but for some reason, Mamba always felt that something was wrong.
Is it his illusion? He always felt that after Youyu and Wuyue had communicated, her mentality had undergone some strange changes... Mainly referring to the matter of "magical girl".
He couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so he could only wait until he finished observing and then tell Youyu the news.
"So what are you going to do next, Youyu? According to what you said, you have already completed the plan for the 'first phase', right? What is the plan for the 'second phase'?"
"The plan for the second phase is the process of gradually changing from acquaintance to understanding each other."
Youyu stopped scrolling on his phone and answered the Mamba in his body.
"And in this phase, basically nothing special will happen... Although it is not a very difficult phase, it is also very important."
As the saying goes, time reveals a person's true character, and time breeds love.
Therefore, Youyu's plan for this phase is also very simple and clear, that is, in these days after day, gradually let Wu Yue get used to his existence... and then, eventually evolve into that kind of very important relationship.
As for what kind of important relationship is... he still needs to think about it.
It is worth mentioning that after the communication at noon, their relationship has successfully changed from the not-so-equal "lifesaver relationship" to the "ordinary friend" relationship.
And relying on this... he can make use of the topic more easily.
"Well, now that we have finished talking about this topic, it's time to talk about another important thing."
"What?"
"Mamba, I want to ask you something now."
"When will your former colleagues take action?"
"Although it may be a bit difficult to ask you now... but even if it's just a little bit, what do you remember about those colleagues in your memory?"
"..."
After thinking for a while, Mamba gave his answer:
"I remembered some... Although there is not much useful information, I can still tell you."
"In my past few time travels, if I didn't take the lead in taking action, then they should appear at the moment before the normal birth of the Magical Girl Firebird."
"Excuse me, what do you mean by 'normal'?"
"That is the time when the Magical Girl Firebird normally appears in the timeline where I don't interfere."
"What if you interfere?"
"Well... it will cause her to appear earlier."
"...I see."
Nodding, Youyu began to think.
At present, he probably knows the time when those guys will appear, but there is still one thing he doesn't understand.
Why did Magical Girl Firebird appear? What is the reason for her appearance?
Thinking of this, Youyu asked:
"What do you mean by 'interference'?"
"Summoning negative beasts."
Mamba answered truthfully.
"Negative beasts are life forms formed by the negative emotions of humans or animals. In simple terms, they are biological weapons controlled by us."
"And in the timelines I interfered with, as long as I summoned the 'negative beasts' in advance, Magical Girl Firebird... no, Wu Yue, who has not yet become a magical girl, will appear just in time."
"Then... the moment she wanted to do that kind of suicide behavior, she became a magical girl."
"Even if I tried to do it myself... I couldn't hit her."
"Well, that's enough."
Nodding, Youyu expressed his understanding, and then continued to think.
It seems that Wu Yue became a magical girl because of this "opportunity".
"To save people... and be recognized by a certain power?"
After thinking about it, Youyu could only think of this.
After all, this setting is a classic, and Wu Yue might be one of them.
"I see...if it's really what I thought..."
Then this opportunity, that special moment——
He must make good use of it.
But before that, he still has to improve his own strength to prevent an accident from happening at that time and killing him.Although he more or less gained some "negative emotions" such as self-blame and guilt from Wu Yue after the exchange at noon, it was far from enough.
Although because she was a candidate for a magical girl, she would have more negative emotions than ordinary people, but in the short term, she still could not get much improvement.
Unless she really became a magical girl, she would have more negative emotions.
So in addition to his daily work, he had to pick some time to learn to use his abilities.
After all, he would have to face those former colleagues of Mamba sooner or later.
Fighting, it seems, is inevitable.
"That's all for the future..."
"Huh! Now, let's go to the place of work first, the time is almost up."
After exhaling, Youyu got off the bed and began to prepare the things he would bring next.
I don't know why, he got used to it so quickly after only two days here, and even made plans for the next step.
Now that I think about it, it's really a bit strange...
"Maybe I'm really made for being a villain?"
He thought half-jokingly.
"Crack--"
After pushing open the door, Youyu saw a quiet living room.
This is not strange, because Wu Yue had left early because she had to go to school, so now he was the only one left at home.
"Ah! Youyu! Come here quickly! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
-It should be so.
"Hey? Wu Yue, haven't you left yet?"
Seeing Wu Yue standing at the door, who seemed impatient, Youyu said in surprise.
"?Isn't this natural? That's to wait for you!"
"Didn't you just say that you would send me off in person to prevent me from being late for school!"
"Why? Don't you regret it now? Then you're a useless adult!"
"So you have to send me off at noon..."
Youyu smiled helplessly.
"Okay, okay, seeing how happy you are, it's impossible not to send you off."
With that, Youyu walked out the door and rode on the bicycle.
"Then I will show you my strength again with great difficulty! Let me make it clear first! I have replenished my physical strength through delicious food, and my speed is invincible!"
"Alas~ Can you ride faster than this morning? It doesn't seem very reliable~"
Laughing, Wu Yue sat on the back seat of the bicycle.
"Why, don't you trust me as an adult? You call me that, how can I be unreliable?"
"Okay, okay! Adults like you who brag about themselves... I hate it the most, ride your bike faster!"
"Then I am really looked down upon!"
Laughing and shaking his head, Youyu looked ahead and began to pedal the bicycle quickly.
And Wu Yue, on the other hand, looked at Youyu.
"..."
Just like this, without doing anything, just looking at someone, you can feel at ease and happy.
After losing her grandmother, she rarely had such opportunities again.
Those good old days...
"Is he coming back?"
Wu Yue asked in her heart with great anticipation.
