Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos

The sun was setting, and only a glimmer of afterglow remained in the sky.

In the courtyard of Beichen's house, fireworks were lingering.

When Beichen brought Fulilian and Feilun down, he saw this scene.

Dudao, wearing an apron, and Rem, wearing a maid outfit, were concentrating on looking at the steaks in the grill.

Hayasaka shuttled back and forth between the kitchen and the courtyard to help carry the dishes.

Ram and Kuroneko were setting the table with plates and tableware.

Yukinoshita, Kurumi, Menma, Chitanda and Kyon were surrounding Papu, taking turns to massage it.

Only Kaguya stood quietly by the side, looking up at the gradually sinking sunset.

Looking around, the small courtyard is full of beautiful girls.

Menma: "Onii-chan!"

Chitanda: "Nissan."

Qiong: "Beichen."

Rem and Ram: "Beichen-kun."

Black Cat: "Senior."

Kyouzo: "Beichen-san."

Kaguya, Hayasaka, Yukinoshita, and Dokushima: "Akatsuki-kun."

Seeing Beichen appear, everyone started to greet him, calling him everything.

But it is obvious that the few people who belong to the Beichen team are all honorifics.

Although the others are close to each other, they are all relatively close.

Facing this group of beautiful girls, Beichen smiled and nodded, responding to everyone's greetings.

There is no way there are too many people, and responding to each one will be in order.

Walking down the stairs, Beichen came to Dokushima.

Seeing Beichen's behavior and the sword in his hand, Dokushima was excited.

"What's this, Xiaojun?"

"Well, it's done."

Beichen casually stuffed a knife and a newly made talisman into Dudao's hands.

"Let's talk about the prohibition after dinner."

"Okay."

As soon as he got the knife and the talisman, Dudao felt a sense of coolness in his brain.

'Clang——'

He couldn't wait to pull the knife out of the sheath.

Under the afterglow, the blade glowed orange-yellow. At first glance, the blade was no different from before, but when Dudao looked closer, he could find that there were faint unknown symbols and lines on the blade.

What surprised her even more was that as she held the knife for a longer time, these lines began to deepen gradually.

And her body seemed to be relieved of the weight and slowly became lighter.

Dudao suddenly realized that this should be what Beichen said, that the knife would absorb her negative emotions.

Thinking that she would no longer have to suppress herself all the time, Dudao was excited.

However, this excitement did not last long before it was suppressed by the talisman and returned to its normal state.

With a sigh of relief, Dudao realized that he had not made a mistake.

He raised his head and was about to thank Beichen, but found that Beichen, who was standing in front of him, had already left.

...

Time passed, and when Kato brought Sagiri to the courtyard, more than ten minutes had passed.

At the moment when Sagiri looked at the beautiful girls in the courtyard, she was envious and timid.

Because she promised Beichen not to wear a mask, she was only wearing a cloak and a hood at this time.

Subconsciously hiding behind Kato, she tightly grasped the corner of Kato's clothes, revealing only half of her head.

"Beichen Nissan..."

The voice was soft and weak, like a mosquito.

Hearing Sagiri's voice, Beichen turned and looked.

But his eyes did not look at Sagiri, but at Kato, who had a calm face.

Seeing that the other party had changed into regular clothes, he couldn't help but smack his lips with some regret.

"Chen Jun."

Kato felt shy in his heart when he noticed the change in Beichen's expression, but he didn't show it on his face, and he still greeted him calmly.

"Well, you came just in time, let's eat right away."

"Okay."

Kato nodded, then turned to look at Sagiri and said softly:

"Sagiri-chan, say hello to others too~"

Hearing this, Sagiri shrank her neck reluctantly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Kato encouraged Sagiri by raising his hand and patting her body.

Finally, under Kato's comfort, Sagiri stuck out half of her head again and nodded slightly to everyone on the field.

"Hello... everyone."

This scene fell into Beichen's eyes, and he was quite surprised.

When did Sagiri become so obedient?

Usually, she would argue with him no matter what he asked her to do.

Unlike Beichen's surprise, others didn't feel anything about Sagiri's behavior, just thinking that Beichen's youngest sister was shy.

So they all smiled and nodded in response.

"Is this Kondo's sister? Kawaii~"

In the crowd, Menma's eyes lit up.

She has a younger brother.

But this younger brother is more normal and worry-free.

It's not that this is bad, but mainly

Menma felt that she was useless and could not feel the majesty of an elder sister from her younger brother.

Originally, she was just a younger sister in Beichen's place, and was taken care of by Beichen.

Now there was someone younger than her, and very shy.

This made her suddenly feel that her shoulders were heavy.

Although this was mainly because of Bapu jumping on her shoulders, it was not important.

The important thing was that she had a younger sister who needed to be saved!

Oh! This damn sense of responsibility!

It was on fire!

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Menma carried Bapu to Sagiri, and then handed Bapu over with a smile.

The ultimate move - cat diplomacy.

In Menma's opinion, no one can refuse a cute cat.

The fact was as she thought. Sagiri shrank back when she saw her coming, but when she saw Bapu in her hand, her eyes relaxed a lot.

But the next situation was a little unexpected for Menma.

After Sagiri took the Bapu, she did not caress or tease it like the others.

Instead, she put it on her head and held its front and back limbs to block her cheeks.

"Bapu..." 'I knew it was not simple, what a sin...'

"Ah this..."

Sagiri's behavior made Menma stunned for a while.

Fortunately, she was an optimist, and she quickly came to her senses and took the initiative to talk to Sagiri.

Chitanda also joined the conversation at the right time.

Sensing the kindness conveyed by the two nominal sisters, Sagiri was a little shy, but with Kato's company, she gradually got used to the feeling of not wearing a mask.

The coherence of her speech increased visibly.

Beichen was very relieved to see that things were developing in a good direction.

With his help, Qiong's body was recovering rapidly, and her complexion was visibly recovering.

She was no longer as lifeless as before, and began to show vitality.

Sagiri's situation was different from Qiong's.

She has more psychological problems, and the help of others can only play a guiding role at most.

What she really needs is for her to take the initiative to come out.

Now, Sagiri has taken the first step.

Beichen believes that in the future, the girl will definitely be able to step out of the house and return to school without relying on others.

It’s not that Beichen insists on her going to school and concentrating on studying.

He just hopes that Sagiri can have a complete childhood, have more contact with the outside world, and make more friends of the same age.

Otherwise, she is now in contact with Beichen’s circle of friends.

Even if everyone is only a few years apart in age, in this era of rapid change, a few years apart feels almost the same as a generation apart.
