32. Unearthed Some Information
“The Snake Knight… I cannot discern his origins, cannot investigate…”
Within the high tower, the Night Demon flipped through ancient tomes, attempting to uncover any information regarding the Snake Knight. However, after more than two days of searching, he remained empty-handed.
Surely, a being of such power would at least have some record in history.
Yet now… this Snake Knight seemed to have materialized out of thin air, with no traceable information about him whatsoever.
“…”
This was somewhat troubling; from this alone, he was an extremely unstable variable. If the situation turned dire, the existence of the Snake Knight could potentially hinder the development of His plans.
“However, even so… I cannot let Him know…”
Conversely, if the situation were ideal, the Snake Knight might even be of use to Him.
Although initially, the Snake Knight had killed His puppet and also dispatched the spider monstrosities He had created.
Yet now, it was too early to definitively categorize his actions. After all, when the Snake Knight struck, He could indeed sense that there was a purpose behind it, not merely a desire to eliminate Him.
If only He could ascertain the Snake Knight’s intentions and use them as leverage—
Perhaps He could find other ways to communicate with the Snake Knight.
He could also exploit him.
“…”
“Night Demon…”
As these thoughts swirled, a voice suddenly echoed in His mind.
Upon hearing that voice, the Night Demon raised his head, knowing its source, and replied:
“I am here, Tower Master. What is it?”
“…Why did the operation fail?”
“The previous negative plans could still be accounted for within the scope of our overall strategy.”
“But the first… positive plan executed upon the world must not fail, it absolutely cannot fail.”
“Tell me, what exactly happened?”
“…”
After a moment of contemplation, the Night Demon decided against deceiving the Tower Master; after all, given the current circumstances, He could hardly accomplish anything significant.
Of course, how much to say was another matter.
Thus, He spoke:
“Tower Master, during this mission, I encountered a unique existence.”
“What is it?”
“A being that calls itself the Snake Knight… seemingly wielding powers akin to ours.”
“He appeared just before the magical girl Blue Night was about to be defeated by the spider monster. When he showed up, I asked him who he was and what his purpose was.”
“Then, upon hearing my question, he answered with his own name.”
“After that, without any warning, he launched an attack on me.”
“…So, you lost?”
After listening to the Night Demon’s account, the Tower Master fell silent for a moment before asking.
“Yeah, my proxy puppet at that time wasn’t perfect, as I hadn’t considered such unexpected situations.”
“So, because of an early exit, the collection of negative emotions was minimal, leading to the ultimate failure of the mission.”
“Sorry, Tower Master, next time, I will win.”
“…”
“Alright.”
“Then next time, kill that snake knight, since he’s obstructing the development of our plan…”
The Tower Master pondered for a moment before speaking.
“No, I don’t think that’s necessary.”
“Why not?”
“Because from my perspective, he might be useful to us later on.”
“So, if there’s a chance to bring this snake knight to our side…”
“Then not only can we avoid gaining another enemy, but we might also add a living combat force to our side.”
“…”
“Is that so.”
After a moment of silence, the Tower Master said:
“Night Demon… as long as your plan doesn’t hinder our overall development, it’s fine.”
“If your plan causes us losses, then you must take responsibility…”
After saying this, the Tower Master’s voice faded from his mind, leaving no further sound.
And the Night Demon… remained unfazed by these words.
Because he knew that the current Tower Master was still under his control.

“Let’s end today’s training here.”
“Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch…”
In a vast, empty space found by Yuyou.
At this moment, it was just after the magical girl Blue Night and the magical girl Firebird had finished their training. Judging by their drenched in sweat condition, they were clearly exhausted.
As Yu Yu watched them fight from the sidelines, he sighed after seeing the training come to an end. He picked up two bottles of water and walked over to each of them, handing the water to them.
Then, somewhat speechlessly, he said:
“Although it’s great to see you both working so hard… you should still be careful not to go too hard, what if an enemy shows up right now?”
“Uh… heh heh! Sorry, Yu Yu, I don’t know what happened, I just got a bit carried away while fighting…”
“…I can tell you’re a bit dazed, especially since it’s such a hot day. After you rest for a bit, you should go home and take a shower; otherwise, you might smell all sweaty…”
“Ah~ how could that be? The scent of a girl… isn’t it all supposed to be fragrant?”
“…That’s just a setting that exists in science fiction novels.”
“……”
Meanwhile, after finishing her water, Bai Yu was about to say something when she noticed Yu Yu and Wu Yue starting to chat after their training ended.
The two were laughing and joking, seemingly unaware of another person’s presence.
“Let me wipe your sweat with a towel first, you go ahead…”
“……”
After a moment of silence, Bai Yu quickly said, “Since the battle is over, I’ll head back first.” Then—
she turned and left without looking back.
“Hey hey! Bai Yu! Wait a second! You’re so tired after training; don’t you want to join us for a meal?”
Seeing Bai Yu leave, Wu Yue shouted this, but she didn’t hear and continued to walk quickly.
Before long, she disappeared from sight.
“…It’s still like this.”
After watching her leave, Wu Yue said with a hint of disappointment.
“She still has some grievances in her heart… so it can’t be helped.”
Shaking his head, Yu Yu replied.
“Then let’s head home now; after you take a shower, I’ll take you out to eat.”
“And then… I’ll tell you about Bai Yu.”
“…What about her?”
“About what happened to her in the past.”
“I found out some things.”
