Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos

The two of them were so angry that they were about to burst into tears.

It was unknown how long it had passed, and just when the two thought they were safe, a creepy voice suddenly came from the direction of the passage.

"Do~kou~da~ (Where is it, little blonde sister~"

It was the man's voice.

Unlike the previous viciousness, the man's voice was a little frivolous at this time.

But Nanami, who was a little bit good at ventriloquism, could faintly hear the hidden anger in it, like a volcano about to erupt.

This made Nanami very confused.

She couldn't figure out how the man found them.

But she quickly realized that now was not the time to worry about this.

She quickly looked at Kitagawa who was a little dazed and whispered:

"Don't stand there, hurry up and hide in the counter that fell to the ground."

Nanami didn't think they could outrun a supernatural being who survived a group of monsters.

So she didn't say stupid things like "Let's run away quickly", but asked Kitagawa to find a place to hide first.

Hearing this, Kitagawa looked in the direction pointed by Nanami's tiger claws.

It was a cash register that was pressed by many sundries.

At this time, the cash register had been pushed down and leaned against the wall, forming an angle with the ground.

It was not big, but it was enough for Kitagawa, who had a good figure, to barely get in.

After entering, there was a gap between the base and the drawer, which was completely enough for her to hide, and even turning around inside was not a problem.

Moreover, the environment here was dim, and the cash register was also made of dark brown solid wood. As long as she hid inside without making any noise and breathing shallowly, ordinary people would not notice it.

It can be said to be quite hidden, a good hiding place.

Retracting her gaze, Kitagawa looked at Nanami and asked with some concern:

"What are you going to do?"

She did not reject Nanami's kindness, nor did she refuse.

Not to mention that Nanami couldn't get in with her condition, now was not the time to hesitate!

"It's okay, there is a warehouse in this store with some sundries. I buried my body in it, leaving only my head exposed. Generally, no one would care why there was a doll head among the sundries."

Knowing that Kitagawa was worried about her, Nanami explained confidently.

After listening to her plan, Kitagawa felt that it was not bad, but he always felt that something was strange, as if something was missing.

But time was short and she didn't have time to think about it, so she nodded and warned:

"Then you should be quiet. Although there is still some distance, just in case, don't let him hear it."

"Also, you should stay in the warehouse and don't come out. No matter what happens outside, wait until I go in to find you, then you can come out."

In her mind, if both of them are safe in the end, everyone will be happy.

If Nanami is discovered, then no matter what, she must stand up before Nanami is caught, and then lead the man to another place.

If it is herself...

Anyway, begging for mercy is not her style. Even if she dies, she will bite off a piece of his flesh.

"Well, you too, be careful."

Without too much sensationalism, after exhorting each other, the two separated and hid in their hiding places according to their plans.

Just as they had just hidden, the man's voice came again.

"Where are you~ I will love you well, little blonde sister~"

Compared to the previous voice, the man's tone this time was higher and louder, and it was obvious that he was about to enter the cave.

His words gave Kitagawa, who was hiding under the cash register, goose bumps all over his body.

Tightening his coat covered with mucus residue, Kitagawa continued to kneel on the ground to observe the movements outside.

As the distance between her and the man continued to shorten, the clear footsteps also beat like a life-threatening drumbeat, beating in her heart.

Soon, a pair of tattered combat boots appeared in her sight, which made her heart suddenly tighten, and even her breathing stopped for a moment.

"Are you here? Little sister?"

The man's devilish whisper sounded, without the previous publicity, but became calm instead.

Kitagawa naturally did not answer, but just stood still, looking outside.

After a long time, in Kitagawa's sight, the man's feet suddenly trembled.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Hahahahaha!" The laughter gradually became louder and finally turned into madness.

"You're not coming out, right? Then you better hide well~"

"Otherwise~"

"You will be punished~"

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!"

As soon as the voice fell, Kitagawa found that the shoes in his sight suddenly disappeared.

, and then felt the ground shaking, and heard the sound of glass breaking and iron frames collapsing around.

It was obvious that the man was destroying everything here.

Realizing this, Kitagawa couldn't help but get nervous, curled up as much as possible, and prayed silently.

And it seemed that God heard Kitagawa's prayers, and the man's destruction did not last long.

After the cash register above his head was hit several times by the flying debris, the man stopped.

"Huh? Isn't it here?"

As the voice fell, Kitagawa saw the pair of combat boots appear in front of her again.

After a short pause, it gradually went away until it disappeared.

...

After the man left, Kitagawa did not relax.

Various film and television novels in her mind were frantically reminding her that 'this is cheating you', 'he didn't go far', etc.

Sure enough.

After a while, the man came back.

Fortunately, Kitagawa was mentally prepared, so he was not scared.

"Tsk! It's not here!"

The man's dissatisfied voice came from the front.

But unlike the last time, the man did not continue to destroy this place this time. He left after speaking.

...

The cave was dark and silent.

After waiting for a long time, Kitagawa seemed to hear her own heartbeat, which was frequent and short, making her feel tortured.

Just as she was about to stick her head out to take a look, the man's combat boots suddenly appeared in her sight, which scared her and calmed her originally irritable mood instantly.

She continued to kneel on the ground, not daring to move.

Just when Kitagawa thought the man would say something, the man disappeared without saying a word.

The shoes appeared quickly and disappeared quickly.

Kitagawa was puzzled, but he didn't care too much, just thinking that the man was too lazy to talk.

...

Time passed.

Everywhere she could see was shrouded in darkness, and the sour smell from her body, mixed with the smell of boards from the counter, entered her brain.

The girl felt a sense of depression.

It was unknown how long it had been, maybe half an hour, or maybe an hour, but there was still no movement.

Kitagawa felt that the man should have really left this time.

But she was not in a hurry to go out, as she was a little tired from being tense for a long time.

So she relaxed her body, lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, and exhaled lightly with her face turned to the wall.

After secretly thinking that she was lucky today, she supported her body with her palms again and looked up.

Then, she saw a bloody face with a weird smile.

Kitagawa knew that it was the joyful expression after getting the prey. She would always show such a smile after conquering the heroine in the game.

But now the roles were reversed, and she was the prey.

At this time, Kitagawa felt like she was falling into an ice cave, and her brain was blank. She even thought she was hallucinating.

However, the frivolous voice of the man came from above her head, breaking her last bit of luck.

"Mi~ci~ge~da~swoosh~ (I found you)"

...
