ALL NOVEL chapter 13
13. Another Magical Girl?!
It has been three days since Wuyue transformed into a magical girl.
Just as Youyu had thought, these three days with Wuyue had been particularly, particularly “annoying.”
Because she would occasionally engage in some… well, outrageous behavior.
So, just defending against her “attacks” made Youyu feel like he was exhausting all his energy…
Though, in reality, that was impossible.
In short…
His three days had been spent in a parallel of “pain” and joy.
And today, on this Saturday, a matter from work “saved” him.
He was just able to use this opportunity to escape and find a chance to train the abilities he had envisioned countless times in his mind…
But that was merely his fantasy.
Because the reality was—
“Hey~ Youyu! Are you going to work today? You clearly said you’d stay home~”
“…Well, how about this? I’ll go with you to see how your work is? I’m quite interested, you know~ And I remember you’re in charge of personal photography, right? It shouldn’t be inconvenient, right?”
“And also! Although I haven’t really studied this area… I can help you out! Just let me handle moving things and such!”
As she spoke, Wuyue squinted her eyes, smiling as she raised her right hand, pinching the meager muscle on her arm.
“…”
The reality was, Wuyue still followed him.
“Mm-hmm~”
Hearing Wuyue’s cheerful humming from the back of the bicycle, Youyu couldn’t help but feel a wave of helplessness.
These three days, Wuyue had been too clingy; aside from school, they were practically inseparable.
Had becoming a magical girl really affected her that much?
“…”
Well… let me clarify one thing.
He didn’t dislike Wuyue for becoming like this.
After all, the reason she was like this ultimately stemmed from him.
Just…
“That’s concerning…”
He still remembered his plan: to cultivate magical girls and then “die” in front of them.
Afterward, he would gain a wealth of negative emotions… and finally defeat them.
But the current situation was veering off course.
Because, Five Yue’s… “possessiveness” had visibly intensified.
If her behavior was truly related to the thoughts in the hearts of the magical girls…
“Am I cultivating magical girls, or am I just nurturing a yandere…?”
If he died too many times, and the shock was too great for them, they might really break.
And he… could end up suffering the consequences.
“…”
Thus, lost in such thoughts, Youyu rode his bicycle, with Five Yue, to the place where he would be working today—
————
“【Under the willow tree in Rainbow Park】… that should be her.”
Upon arriving at Rainbow Park.
Comparing the information provided by this employer, Youyu looked in the direction of the willow tree.
Under the willow tree stood a girl with long blue hair, squinting her eyes.
“…”
As if she had noticed his gaze, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of gem-like bright purple eyes.
Then, she looked over at him with those eyes.
Immediately, she broke into a smile and said:
“You must be Mr. Youyu, right? Nice to meet you, I’m the employer for this time, my online name is K. Do you need to verify anything?”
“…Ah, no need. It’s all good.”
“If possible, please start the work as soon as you can.”
Stealing a glance at Five Yue, who was frowning behind him, Youyu spoke nonchalantly.
It seemed his luck this time wasn’t too great… of all days, the employer was a woman.
And not just any woman, but someone who looked to be around the same age as Five Yue.
It felt like he was going to be busy…
But looking on the bright side, being able to extract negative emotions from Five Yue in a “relatively peaceful” manner should be a good thing.
“…I advise you to be careful, Youyu.”
Mamba, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, suddenly said.
“? What’s going on all of a sudden?”
“This person might be a magical girl.”
“……?”
Hearing this from Mamba inside his body, Youyu was momentarily stunned.
Then he came to his senses and looked at the blue-haired girl in front of him.
“……What a coincidence?”
Uh, that’s a bit outrageous.
Is it really just a coincidence that his employer this time might be a magical girl?
It doesn’t seem like a coincidence at all.
Perhaps her purpose for coming here this time is related to Wuyue.
After all, just three days ago, Wuyue had transformed into a magical girl and had taken down that giant bat.
The commotion was quite large; it would be hard not to notice.
Although he didn’t know why… when he searched online afterward, there was completely no information related to it.
“Let’s take it one step at a time.”
After some contemplation, Youyu made this decision.
After all, he still didn’t have a complete grasp of the other party’s information and could only proceed slowly.
“Mm, okay.”
The blue-haired girl smiled and nodded, then turned around, pointing at the willow tree, and said:
“I need you… to help me take a picture of this willow tree.”
“Mm, no problem. Any specific requirements?”
“200 pictures.”
“……?”
To confirm he hadn’t misheard her, Youyu furrowed his brows and asked again:
“200 pictures? Are you sure?”
“Mm, and they need to be from different angles, 200 of them~”
The girl smiled sweetly, once again affirming her outrageous request.
“……”
“Alright.”
After thinking for a while, Youyu decided to agree.
Although he couldn’t quite understand what her intentions were in “looking for trouble,”
it didn’t stop him from agreeing.
After all, he could use this excuse to… get in touch with her.
For now, let her take the lead and see what she wants to do.
Thinking this way, Youyu began his “work.”
“Mm~ not bad, not bad.”
Watching Youyu start working, the blue-haired girl nodded with a smile, then shifted her gaze to the side.
It landed on Wuyue, who was frowning.
“Um, are you… his assistant?”
“…Huh? Uh… yes, I am his assistant! Is there anything I can help you with?”
Noticing the blue-haired girl’s gaze directed at her, Wuyue quickly adjusted her strange expression and replied with a smile.
She didn’t know why… but when she saw this girl interacting with Youyu just now, she felt a strange sense of unease in her heart. It was really odd!
It even showed on her face without her realizing it! The girl noticed it…
She needed to get her mindset right; she couldn’t mess up Youyu’s work…
“Mm, I do have something I need your help with~”
Saying this, she suddenly leaned in closer to Wuyue and whispered:
“Magical girl… Firebird.”
