Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret - Chapter 60



60. Preparation Before the Final Plan

However… even though Bai Yu has already “collapsed” now, You Yu cannot stop the ongoing plan; he must continue moving forward.

After all, reality is not a game, and there is no pause button for him to press.

“Then I need to think about what to do next…”

From the current situation, it seems Bai Yu has already been influenced by Wu Yue, and her mindset has started to become somewhat unstable. If she continues down this path, it’s very likely that something unpleasant will happen.

So… he needs to find an opportunity to talk to Bai Yu about this and convince her not to get involved any further?

“…”

After thinking for a while, You Yu reached a conclusion.

No, it shouldn’t be necessary.

Because… based on Bai Yu’s personality, she is someone who dislikes causing trouble for others. If she knows that her involvement will make things more complicated, it’s very likely she will choose to withdraw on her own.

Although there is no solid evidence yet to prove that Bai Yu will step back from the matter between him and Wu Yue… judging by the speed at which she spoke just now and her attitude when she said that last sentence, it should be about the same.

After all, during times like this, she is the most difficult to control her emotions.

“Then… there shouldn’t be too much of a problem with Bai Yu; the main focus should be on talking to Wu Yue.”

If left alone for now, there shouldn’t be any issues, although the cost might be that Bai Yu’s relationship with them will decrease again. But until he has a way to pull her back… this is the best approach.

Anyway, tomorrow, tomorrow is Wu Yue’s birthday. On that day, using a birthday celebration to open Wu Yue’s heart again, once she changes back, the problem should be manageable.

As for how to do it… he still has some confidence in his heart. After all, in these past few days, Wu Yue has changed a little; as long as they can talk, everything shouldn’t be a problem.

With that thought in mind, You Yu walked back to where they were training.

————

After returning to the training ground.

Wu Yue and Bai Yu were no longer sitting on the bench chatting like they had when he brought things back before; instead, they were each busy with their own tasks.

“…”

It felt like a sense of “everything is in vain,” as their relationship seemed to have returned to the way it was at the very beginning.

After letting out a sigh, You Yu walked over to Wu Yue and handed her the bread he had bought at the convenience store, saying:

“Here’s the bread I brought back for you, eat it, Wu Yue.”

“…Ah! Thank you, You Yu!”

“…”

Watching Wu Yue eat the bread, You Yu fell silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Bai Yu, who was leaning against a tree not far away.

At that moment, she was not looking their way but gazing at the distant sky, seemingly lost in thought.

The expression on her face was incredibly calm.

Reluctantly, after Wuyue finished her bread, Youyu had no choice but to say to Wuyue and Baiyu:

“Let’s continue training! This is the last one, and then we can go home.”

Only then did they nod in agreement and get moving, resuming their training.

However… as they engaged in combat training, Youyu could tell that their spirits were not very high.

Especially Baiyu; her attack frequency was much lower than usual, and she seemed to be on the defensive the entire time, taking hits without retaliating.

If Wuyue hadn’t held back, Baiyu would probably have ended up with a few more scrapes.

“…”

Twenty minutes later.

Today’s final training ended in a rush; after all, neither side had much desire to fight, so it concluded quickly.

After the training, they began their usual wrap-up routine, gathering their belongings, exchanging a few words of caution to stay safe, and heading home.

“……!!!”

Just before leaving, Baiyu seemed to suddenly remember something. She stopped packing her things, turned around, and was about to speak.

But…

Upon seeing Youyu still standing by Wuyue, she halted her intention to speak, fell silent for a moment, and casually resumed packing her things.

Over the past few days, she had been reminding Youyu to seize the opportunity to talk to Wuyue, to ask her to go home together or do something else.

Although each time ended with Wuyue refusing for various reasons, they would debrief afterward, discussing what to do next time.

Though the time spent “debriefing” with Youyu wasn’t particularly long, she had been doing it for several days, and without that routine, she felt a bit out of sorts.

“…”

After all, she had already decided not to get involved in their matters anymore; they could resolve their issues themselves.

If she stepped in, it would only complicate things further.

If only she hadn’t done that from the start.

With that thought, Baiyu sighed inwardly, quickly finished packing her things, turned to them, and said:

“I have something to do today; I’m heading back!”

“You guys should head back early too!”

After dropping those two sentences, Baiyu hopped on her bike and left without looking back.

Only Youyu and Wuyue were left.

“…Um, Youyu.”

Noticing Baiyu’s departure, Wuyue seemed to realize something. With a hint of unease, she asked Youyu:

“Is something wrong with Baiyu? Isn’t she usually the one who comes to talk to you at times like this? Why didn’t she this time…”

“She really had something to do today. When she came to find me just now, she told me.”

Youyu shook his head and said.

“… So that’s how it is?”

“……”

After hearing Youyu’s explanation, Wuyue fell silent for a moment, then said:

“Well, you should go back first, Youyu. I still have to take a longer route, and it will be slow, so you just…”

“No need.”

Before Wuyue could finish her sentence, Youyu, who had guessed what she was about to say, directly refused her, saying:

“This time, I’m going back with you.”

“Huh? Isn’t that unnecessary? Didn’t you recently… take on a task? You still have to go help someone take photos, right? It wouldn’t be good to waste time on me right now…”

“No.”

Shaking his head, Youyu denied her statement.

Then he said seriously to her:

“I believe there’s no such thing as wasting time on you. Rather, it’s more important to go home with you than that task.”

“But…”

“I just simply want to go home with you! This time, no matter what, I want to!”

Seeing that Wuyue was still trying to find ways to decline, Youyu chose to be straightforward.

After all, time couldn’t be delayed any longer.

Upon hearing his words, Wuyue was momentarily taken aback, then her face turned red.

“Is that okay?”

“……”

After hesitating for a long time, she finally said:

“Well, fine then…”

“Great! Then let’s go back together!”

Seeing Wuyue agree, Youyu nodded and said.

This time, he had to talk to Wuyue; after all, the timing should be right.

As long as they could have a good conversation on the way home…

Then tomorrow’s wrap-up plan would be smoothly completed!
