If she thought otherwise, she would go crazy.

but...

Reality..

It dealt her the heaviest blow.

"Drip, drip, drip"

The day when we successfully broke through the human-demon barrier using the tools left by the Magical Girl of the Star was a gloomy rainy day.

Demon students were playing in the rain with umbrellas, adults were walking slowly with children in raincoats, and office workers were browsing their phones under umbrellas.

Everyone hurried past in the rain, leaving Ye Si standing alone.

The rain gradually blurred her vision, and what came into view was an ordinary street.

Demons are not evil...

After knowing the truth, she hid in a cold and damp corner like a stray dog.

She stared at her reflection in the water, which looked like a zombie, lifeless.

This is the end of a forty-year fight for "justice."

A dog passing by on a leash also has its own home and its own owner.

And she, curled up in the dark, had no place to go back to.

This feeling is a bit familiar...

It's like... that day when I was a kid, in the war, when I completely lost everything.

A person curls up in the dark, completely despairing of the world, but his body tells him that he cannot die and must continue to live.

Afterwards, she struggled for decades after being rescued by the academy.

In the end, nothing changed.

Really, tired.

Perhaps, ending it like this is the best ending.

I don’t know how many years it has been since I had a good night’s sleep.

This time, I can finally sleep peacefully.

“Goodnight City… is indeed a good name.”

She closed her eyes and let her consciousness and body heat dissipate in the rain...

..

..

The rain stopped.

A tender hand stretched out in front of her, and a small umbrella blocked the raindrops.

"Are you OK?"

A soft voice asked with a hint of worry.

Ye Shi opened his eyes again, and through his messy, wet hair, he saw...

A demon girl in school uniform.

"leave me alone."

She rejected the other party's kindness.

Being treated so gently by the demons only made her feel ashamed.

She knew how many times she had vowed to kill all the demons in the past, so what right did she have to accept the other party's kindness now?

"But if you keep going like this, you'll catch a cold..."

The raindrops hit the umbrella, making a dull sound.

The girl still didn't want to leave and stayed in the rain with an umbrella.

"..."

Ye Shi bit her lower lip.

"Such innocent kindness will only be exploited."

She is the one who wants to kill the Demon King and is the number one enemy of the demon clan.

Approaching a dangerous person lying on the roadside like this will only put yourself in danger.

Let's teach this kid a lesson in advance...

"I said that..."

Ye Shi staggered to his feet, holding onto the wall. He picked up the rusty water pipe on the ground and pointed at the overly kind demon, threatening him:

"Go away."

Raindrops fell on the rusty copper pipes, making a hollow sound.

Ye Shi originally thought that the girl in front of him would run away out of fear, but the reality was...

The girl stood there motionless, staring at this side quietly.

"Why don't you run..." Ye Si stood in the rain in a daze.

The girl blinked, looked at the copper tube that was extended to her, and asked:

"Are you a bad person?"

"Do not..."

"Then why do you pretend to be a bad guy?"

"..."

Ye Shi didn't know how to respond.

She dropped the copper pipe in her hand and looked down at her reflection in the puddles on the ground, soaking wet and looking as miserable as a drowned dog.

"I just... don't want your kindness to be taken advantage of in the future."

..

..

..

"puff."

Silver bell-like laughter came through the raindrops.

The girl in front of me laughed. She covered her mouth with her hand and laughed so hard that her shoulders were shaking. The translucent umbrella was shaking gently in the rain and couldn't stop for a long time.

"What? You scared me just now, but you're a good person, right? That makes me even more unable to leave you alone!"

The girl stepped over the puddles on the ground and came lightly to Ye Si's side. She was short and tried to raise her hands to raise the umbrella as high as possible to cover both of them at the same time.

"Don't come near me anymore..."

What's the point of holding an umbrella for someone who is completely soaked?

She had noticed that the demon girl's shoulders and hair were already wet, and if this continued, both of them would be soaked.

"No! If you leave it alone, you'll catch a cold tomorrow!"

The girl puffed up her cheeks slightly and chased after him relentlessly.

What a stubborn demon...

"whatever."

Ye Shi is tired.

The coldness of the rain seeped into her body bit by bit through her clothes. She didn't intend to continue to entangle with the girl. She closed her eyes and waited quietly for her to leave.

"Hmph, I'll just stand here today!"

The demon girl also got into a fight with Ye Shi, trying to stand beside her while holding an umbrella.

"You can act cool now, but you'll catch a cold tomorrow!"

"..."

"A cold is very uncomfortable. You'll have a runny nose and maybe even a fever!"

"..."

"If you have a fever, you have to get an injection. Then you won't be able to laugh anymore!"

"..."

"I, I get it! You must be having a Chuunibyou attack, right? Did you watch some TV show? Even adults have periods like this. I get it, I get it..."

..

Ye Shi originally thought that she would only pester him for a while.

But unexpectedly, she kept chattering and educating me for a whole half hour.

"..."

It's extremely difficult.

Half an hour later, the girl's voice finally faded away, leaving only the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella, echoing between the two of them.

When Ye Shi opened his eyes again and wanted to check on the girl beside him...

"grumble!"

A fragile sneeze sounded in my ears.

Only then did she realize that most of the girl's body was soaked. Her delicate shoulders were tightly hunched, but her eyes still showed an unwillingness to compromise.

Why would you do this for a stranger...

Ye Shi looked down at the demon girl holding an umbrella for her, and seemed to see her past self...

Kind, pure, stubborn, persistent, innocent...

She once immersed her body and soul in a muddy lake of blood for what she believed in, but in the end she got this end.

"If..."

Ye Shi lowered his head, staring at the ripples caused by the raindrops on the ground, and asked:

"What if everything you do is meaningless in the end?"

“If you don’t try it, how will you know if it makes sense?”

The demon girl gripped the umbrella handle tightly and responded angrily.

"Even if the other Old Testament magical girls choose to give up, I will continue to protect this world."

Once upon a time, Ye Shi also had such clear eyes.

However, in the repeated killing, he lost himself.

"I will become a good adult and make this world a better place!"

The demon girl straightened her frail body and declared proudly.

"I also thought about making the world a better place..."

"and after?"

"Failed."

Ye Si stared at the garbage heap not far away that was torn apart by rats. It seemed as if all his life's efforts were buried there.

"No wonder, this dream must be difficult to achieve, but you can rest assured now!"

"rest assured?"

Ye Shi didn't understand what the girl meant and looked sideways.
