NOVEL NEXT Chapter 33 - He is truly a genius
After everything was settled, they arrived at the restaurant like always.
While waiting for their food, YouYu opened the report on his phone and shared it with WuYue.
Seeing the report, WuYue clicked on it and began reading.
As she continued, her initial curiosity transformed into a frown, her emotions clearly visible on her face. It was evident that learning about this had deeply affected her to the point where she couldn’t hide her feelings.
“…”
After a moment of silence, she said:
“So… YouYu, does this have something to do with how Bai Yu became a magical girl?”
“Yes, I think so. After all, that ‘black fire’ appeared. Bai Yu had shown us her records before, right? It’s possible that it was caused by that Night Demon.”
“And look here, there are two silhouettes in the picture. They might be Night Demon and Bai Yu when she first transformed into Magical Girl Blue Night.”
“Hmm… I see. Since the report doesn’t mention these silhouettes, and as you mentioned, people’s perception of this was likely obstructed.”
“…So, she became a magical girl under these circumstances?”
WuYue couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Bai Yu’s ordeal.
From this, it seemed that Bai Yu became a magical girl because the evil cadre had directly attacked her home. And then… her desire to protect her family most probably led to her transformation.
But…
Is this really the truth?
Flipping to the end of the report, she saw a photograph: a father and daughter with faces full of anguish and despair.
The photo conveyed not only pain but also regret, hatred, and other deep emotions.
At this moment, her feelings mirrored those YouYu had experienced upon seeing this photo yesterday.
But more lamentation and sympathy.
“…No, If I were to guess,”
YouYu said slowly,
“Her wish when she became a magical girl was most likely revenge.”
“Because… her family was left with only her and her father.”
“So… everyone else Is most likely dead.”
After a rare moment of hesitation, YouYu chose to use the word “dead.”
Truth be told, he initially had this suspicion but didn’t think much about it, assuming it was just someone who got injured in front of her and then couldn’t wake up or something. However, after investigating Bai Yu’s background, he didn’t expect the reality to be so… dark.
Though, using anime plots as a reference might be a little too childish… YouYu couldn’t help but wonder if this was still about magical girls? What kind of dark and brutal situation is this? It almost feels like it’s beyond his intervention!
Well, he’s not sure how deep it goes, but the darkness and brutality are apparent. Given the current situation, Bai Yu and WuYue’s circumstances are pretty similar—they’ve both lost their loved ones.
How on earth did they endure such pressure in the timeline he didn’t appear?
He really can’t figure it out…
He’ll need to consult Manba for more details about their situations later…
Thinking this, YouYu looked at WuYue, who had fallen into sadness, and said,
“Now, we understand.”
“The reason Bai Yu became a magical girl is because her family was attacked by those evil cadres.”
“And she’s still fighting as a magical girl to this day is that she still harbours the wish for ‘revenge.'”
“But… there’s one thing that’s rather strange.”
“If my theory, which has been confirmed, is correct—where doing things related to one’s wish makes one stronger—then why hasn’t she grown stronger until now?”
“…Because she’s exhausted.”
After a moment of thought, WuYue, who had already adjusted her emotions, said.
“That’s right.”
Nodding, YouYu continued,
“Just like before… according to what she said, she’s been able only to defeat negative beasts and couldn’t impact those evil cadres.”
“If this goes back and forth for a long period of time, with no positive results, the hatred in her heart could diminish over time.”
“But the reduction in hatred doesn’t mean she’s forgotten. She still harbours the desire for revenge.”
“It’s just that the burden of that hatred has taken a toll on her body and mind.”
“So, subconsciously, she has become exhausted and less inclined to act.”
“The wish and desire in her heart gradually weakened…”
“And thus… her attitude towards interacting with us also began to be negative.”
Actually, whether wishes and desires truly weaken over time is still just YouYu’s speculation.
However, this doesn’t prevent him from using it as a basis for reasoning, as it might lead to uncovering the truth behind it.
“…Is that so.”
Lowering her head, WuYue looked at the necklace around her neck—the necklace that had been hanging around her neck ever since becoming a magical girl. After some contemplation, she said,
“So, what should we do next? Should we prove to her that we can help her seek revenge?”
“These are indeed things we need to address, but not right now.”
Shaking his head, YouYu said,
“Right now, Bai Yu is already very tired. So, we need to first help her recover from this state before considering other matters…”
With this, the “plan to help Bai Yu” has officially made a good start. One cannot live in hatred all the time; YouYu was well aware of this. Constantly living with such intense feelings would eventually lead to self-destruction, both physically and mentally.
Now that Bai Yu has shown signs of being “tired,” he should seize this opportunity to help her detach from this “hatred.” He needs to shift her focus gradually before discussing this issue with her.
Otherwise… it would be impossible to have an effective communication.
“…Okay. I understand.”
Nodding, WuYue firmly said:
“No matter what, YouYu, I will do everything I can to help her!”
Her similar experience of losing loved ones made her feel a sense of connection with Bai Yu.
Just for that reason alone, she was determined to help her!
Seeing WuYue like this, YouYu couldn’t help but laugh inwardly and said:
“Yeah, me too.”
“…”
It seemed that not only was Bai Yu’s situation being handled well, but WuYue’s side was also making good progress.
At this rate, as long as there were no accidents, the two of them would surely become good friends.
When that happens, the so-called “yandere” should be hard to come.
He is truly a genius.
