Raise Magical Girls and Leave Them With Eternal Regret

36. The Restless Night Demon

“Is there an enemy appearing?!”

Not long after the explosion outside, Bai Yu, who had just left, hurriedly ran back and said,

“Um, it seems something has happened.”

Nodding, You Yu replied.

The situation outside was truly a scene of devastation; not only was there a raging black fire, but due to the explosion, bricks and debris were flying everywhere, hitting other people’s places and cars.

In such circumstances… it was hard to avoid casualties.

“…Tsk.”

Sighing inwardly at why he hadn’t noticed sooner, Bai Yu took a deep breath and said to Wu Yue, who was also looking outside,

“We should go out and see what’s going on right away. If we wait too long, there could be even greater casualties!”

“Mm!”

Nodding, Wu Yue agreed with Bai Yu’s suggestion.

Then, as if remembering something, she turned to You Yu behind her and said,

“You should hide first! If you get caught up in the fighting again, that would be terrible!”

“…Okay.”

After thinking for a moment, You Yu nodded and was ready to accept her suggestion.

However… upon seeing some injured people who were temporarily unable to move, he hesitated for a moment and changed his mind.

“No, I can’t hide right now. Those people are injured, and if they stay here, they could very well be caught up in the fighting.”

“You all go ahead and deal with it. Once I help those people get out of here, I’ll leave too.”

“…But.”

Hearing You Yu’s words, Bai Yu frowned and wanted to say something, but she was quickly interrupted by Wu Yue:

“Alright! Bai Yu and I will go first! You must be careful, You Yu!”

“No problem.”

“…”

After watching Bai Yu being forcibly pulled away by Wu Yue, You Yu turned around and walked towards the group of injured people.

These injured individuals had been affected by the explosion; the destruction caused by the blast had led to the collapse of a wall, which had fallen right onto their legs.

Fortunately, it hadn’t been too long, and if he acted now, he could still resolve the situation properly.

So, when You Yu reached them, he simply grabbed the collapsed wall with one hand, lifted it effortlessly, and tossed it aside.

Even though he hadn’t transformed, his physical abilities were still intact, so moving a collapsed wall was not a problem.

Seeing the relieved expressions of those people as the wall was moved aside, You Yu said,

“You all must be injured and it’s not convenient for you to move. I’ll carry each of you to a safe place over there, is that alright?”

“Okay.”

The group nodded in agreement, after all, they had no other choices at the moment.

Once he knew they agreed, Yuyu simply picked one of them up and started walking toward a safe place.

At the same time, he began to reflect on what had just happened.

Just a moment ago, an explosion occurred outside, caused by those negative beasts, and… he sensed that the familiar source of hostility was the Night Demon he had encountered earlier.

In short, one thing was certain: this time, the Night Demon was likely targeting the “Serpent Knight,” though there was also a chance it was after the Magical Girl.

Thus, he decided to hold off on intervening for now and see what kind of trouble it was planning.

Once he confirmed everything clearly… it wouldn’t be too late to act; after all, during this time spent rescuing people, he had enough time to think this through.

So, after carrying these injured individuals back and forth for two minutes, he finally finished moving them.

Then, Yuyu immediately rushed to the location of the battle to observe their current situation.

“……”

“There’s no problem for now…”

What he saw was the transformed Magical Girls, Wuyue and Baiyu, working together to face four giant lizards.

Although the number of enemies had increased compared to the last time, due to Wuyue and Baiyu’s prior training in cooperative combat, they were still able to fight with a relaxed demeanor against these foes.

In the short term… he likely wouldn’t need to intervene, as they also needed to cooperate and grow. If anything unexpected happened that they couldn’t handle, he would transform and step in.

So for now… while keeping an eye on them, he would also watch out for the Night Demon lurking in the shadows.

Thus, Yuyu stood by, observing, preparing to join in after they completely defeated their enemies.

“……”

At this moment, as Yuyu had anticipated, the Night Demon hidden in the shadows began to undergo subtle changes.

It watched the battlefield, where its four giant lizards were being overwhelmed by the Magical Girls, and started to ponder.

“Looks like these Magical Girls… coordinate particularly well…”

In just a few days, their combat coordination had become nearly flawless.

Moreover, the power they could unleash with just two people was astonishing.

It was truly unbelievable.

“Indeed… the prophecy was not wrong; the power forged by the heart will ultimately become the core energy of evolution.”

They had grown stronger now, which for its plans… was more beneficial than detrimental.

However… there was one thing that still concerned it.

Thinking this way, it looked at Baiyu, who was next to Wuyue.

“……Magical Girl Blue Night.”

An unexpected creation of its own making.

It remembered that when it first encountered her, it was during its routine work, carrying out the “Negative World” action plan.

At that time, due to a misjudgment, He chose their family. He had intended to stop, but after some thought, with everything prepared, He decided to erase them all from this world, while conveniently contributing energy for future plans.

But who could have imagined… that this action of His led to the birth of the magical girl, Blue Night.

At that moment, He “erased” her family right before her eyes, and then she suddenly erupted, transforming into a magical girl, wielding an incredibly powerful force that shattered His puppets.

In the following attempts, He tried to proceed with His plans while avoiding her, but each time she discovered Him and thwarted His efforts.

Her power was immense, coalesced from the core of vengeance.

But… why now, why recently…

was her power gradually fading?

And when she encountered Him again, when she faced this “enemy,” why did she not express any hatred?

“…If this continues, it will not meet my expectations.”

Night Demon decided to seek a plan to bring her back to the “right track.”
