Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos

The battle was a battle, but the enemy was still alive.

Because it was in the wild mountains, frogs, which are at the bottom of the food chain, have many natural enemies.

The deformed frogs may be able to become the local hegemon with their numerical advantage, but those scattered and lonely deformed frogs are not.

They basically won't see the sun tomorrow.

Even if they survive, they can't make any waves in a short time.

The task of Beichen and others is to clean up no less than 80% of the deformed frogs.

With the situation just now, it's no problem to say that 90% have been cleaned up, so Beichen announced that the task was completed.

As for the remaining deformed frogs, there was no requirement to deal with them.

Not only Beichen was too lazy to care, but other teams were the same.

"I know." Yukinoshita nodded.

"Then you..."

"It's unlikely, but it doesn't mean it's impossible. I think we should eliminate this uncertainty in advance."

"At least in the future, innocent civilians will not be injured because of our negligence."

Looking at Yukinoshita's serious face, Beichen touched his chin.

You can say she's stubborn or serious, Yukinoshita just wants to do her best and have a clear conscience.

This is also the reason why she was excluded by other teams before.

After all, most people pursue getting by.

Anyway, the rewards are the same, why bother to be lazy?

Without directly agreeing or refusing, Beichen turned his head to look at Kaguya.

"Shinomiya, what do you think."

"I don't think it's necessary." Kaguya said.

Although she strives for perfection in her work, she cares about things that can bring real benefits to herself.

Obviously, campus missions are not included.

So Kaguya only wants to complete the mission. It's a waste of time to complete the mission perfectly and clear the remnants.

Time is money. The second young lady doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until she runs a household.

She was still thinking about going back to do other things after she finished dealing with it.

"What if someone gets hurt in the future?" Yukinoshita asked.

Facing her question, Kaguya responded expressionlessly:

"The frogs will regenerate every year and harass the residents downstream every year. This kind of thing is inevitable."

Originally, she wanted to say, "What does the life and death of those fools have to do with me?"

But considering that the girls present were kind-hearted, her words would easily cause disgust from others, which would be detrimental to future management.

"But we can't just ignore it because we're used to it!"

"Caring requires energy, Team Member Yukinoshita." Kaguya slowly explained, "It's 1 a.m. now. If we go back now, we can still have a light sleep."

"But facing the unknown time-consuming and unknown results of the clearing, we may spend more time and energy."

"You can pay for your care, what about others?"

Hearing Kaguya's words, Yukinoshita choked.

"I... I can do it myself. You don't need to help me."

"Even so, we still need to wait for you, don't we?"

The proposal was rejected again. Yukinoshita opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but nothing came out.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while.

"I can~ I've been sleeping anyway~"

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Fennel, who was lying on Hayasaka's back, suddenly muttered in a daze.

"Puchi~"

Beichen was suppressed for a moment and laughed out loud.

The tense atmosphere on the field disappeared immediately after being interrupted by the two.

"Hehe, since you have different opinions, then ask others what they think."

As he said, Beichen looked at Dudao, who was holding a katana and standing quietly behind everyone.

The pure black scabbard was deeply sunken into the ravine, and the high ponytail swung back and forth because of shaking his head.

"I don't care." Dudao responded.

After getting a response, Beichen looked at Kato.

"What about you, Xiaohui?"

"I can."

"What about you, Hayasaka?"

"I'll listen to the eldest lady."

"..."

There are only six people, but they are divided into three factions.

The melon-eating faction Dudao who is outside the team.

The friendly trio of Kato, Yukinoshita, and Fennel.

The master-servant combination of Kaguya and Hayasaka.

Beichen had expected this situation.

So he spread his hands and said to Kaguya:

"Look, the situation is here, what are you going to do?"

It's not to shirk responsibility.

After all, he is only a temporary leader, and it will be Kaguya who will lead the team in the future, so what he has to do is more

Mostly guidance.

Guide Kaguya to consider other people's ideas.

Sure enough, after learning that others did not reject the clearing operation, Kaguya thought for a moment, and based on the idea of ​​dealing with it quickly if it cannot be avoided, she came up with a compromise plan.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's continue the operation. But in order to improve efficiency, we will proceed in groups."

"Bushima, thank you for your hard work alone."

"Yukinoshita, Kato, you are in one group."

"I will be in one group with Hayasaka."

"The clearing range is 20 kilometers around, and the time will last for one hour. After one hour, we will meet up with the captain."

"Any objections?"

"No"*4

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Kaguya nodded with satisfaction and looked at Beichen.

"Captain, please take care of Fennel."

"Okay." Beichen nodded in response.

Then he untied the giant sword behind him and asked Hayasaka to put Fennel on the sword.

After everything was arranged, everyone dispersed and began to chase the fleeing deformed frog.

Retracting his gaze, Beichen quietly stared at Fennel lying on the sword of Juque.

The girl's sleeping face was particularly beautiful, and her moist lips sparkled with crystal clear light under the moonlight.

After admiring for a moment, Beichen took out a soft quilt and pillow from the storage ring, and after some operation, he laid a temporary bed for Fennel on Juque.

Feeling the warmth from the quilt, Fennel unconsciously arched the pillow in her sleep, like a kitten looking for sleep in a warm nest.

"Thank you, Captain~"

Listening to Fennel's soft thanks, Beichen's mouth corners unconsciously raised a smile.

Although it is said that it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to use it.

But he had never thought of using Juque as a bed before.

The reason why he made Juque look like a door panel was, on the one hand, to show off, and on the other hand, to consider the safety of passage.

That's right, it's the safety of passage.

Even though he could fly with a sword of normal width, the sword surface less than three feet wide always gave him a feeling of being unsteady and unsafe.

He thought he might be possessed by Tyrant Song.

Of course, Beichen never thought of adding a guardrail to the flying sword, which would be too ugly.

He simply widened the sword surface.

And strictly speaking, he is a knife cultivator, not a sword cultivator.

Although flying with a sword is also possible, and if the cultivation is good enough, flying with a woman is not impossible. After all, when one of his fellow Taoists was caught cheating by his Taoist partner, he directly flew away with the mistress.

But cultivating immortals!

It would be boring if you don’t fly a sword.
