Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos

The night before the sun came, the sun was shining.

"Umaru-kun, Umaru-kun."

In the dimness, the voice of Ebina came to her ears, and Umaru-kun gradually woke up.

But her long-standing habit of staying in bed made her not want to get up. She just moved her mouth and fell asleep again.

"Umaru-kun, Umaru-kun."

Seeing that Umaru-kun didn't respond, Ebina reached out and shook the other's shoulder.

"Well~ Let me sleep a little longer."

"Hello, Komari, I can't sleep any more, the seniors are all up."

"What seniors~"

"Senior Beichen and the others! Have you forgotten that we are now training in another world?"

"Hmm? Training in another world, Ebina is also playing games...ah!"

Hearing Ebina's reminder, Komari didn't react at first. When she realized that something was wrong, she sat up with a shudder and swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"Eh? What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that we were training, and it would be bad if I overslept."

Hearing this, Ebina did not doubt him, and smiled and comforted:

"It's okay, everyone just got up."

"That's good, thank you, Ebina-chan."

"Em~ You're welcome~ Koumaro, you should hurry up and pack up!"

"Okay, right away."

"That's close! I almost let it slip!"

Looking at Ebina's leaving back, Koumaro breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and was about to pack her luggage, only to find that she was not sleeping in the tree house, but in a tent.

She was wrapped in a blanket instead of a sleeping bag.

While thinking, the memory of the dead came to her, and Koumaro recalled everything in the early hours of the morning.

Yesterday, she was playing games, and suddenly her consciousness sank, and then she lost consciousness.

As a night mouse, she was very familiar with this situation of suddenly losing consciousness due to excessive fatigue and having no memory after waking up.

I think Beichen carried her into the tent because he was afraid that she would catch a cold.

This was the first time she was hugged by a man other than her family, so her face was a little red.

"What~ You hugged me without my consent, you devilish senior!"

After a moment of clearing her mind, Komari shook off the mixed emotions in her mind. Now was not the time to dwell on this. She had to go back to the tree house to pack up and go to her destination later.

Thinking of this, Komari quickly got up, folded the blanket, opened the tent, and walked towards the tree house.

...

Beside the small river beside the camp, Beichen was fishing with a fishing rod.

Friends who often fish know that under normal circumstances, the fish are better in the morning and easier to catch.

With the idea of ​​tasting freshwater fish from another world, Beichen excitedly took his fishing rod and sat by the river after everyone woke up, quietly waiting for the fish to bite.

Unfortunately, his luck didn't seem to be very good.

Every time he caught fish, they were colorful and strangely shaped. Since he didn't know if they were edible, he threw them under the roots of a tree in the distance and piled them together.

After these fish were put together, the open space was full of fishy smell.

At first, Beichen didn't care.

Unexpectedly, perhaps smelling the smell of food, a turtle ran down from upstream.

This turtle was huge, with a diameter of about two meters.

Red tortoise shell, pink skin, round head, very good appearance.

When he found Beichen on the shore, he was stunned.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Beichen didn't care about it, he lowered his head and started eating fish.

Originally, Beichen thought it would leave automatically after eating, but unexpectedly, this turtle didn't leave, but squatted beside Beichen, waiting for him to fish and feed it.

"Hey! You're still relying on me."

Seeing the other party looking at him eagerly, Beichen shook his head speechlessly.

"Hey, can you spray water?"

"Fu~" "Yes. 』

"Come on, spray one."

As soon as the voice fell, Beichen saw the turtle's neck moving constantly, and then its lower jaw began to swell.

Until a certain critical point, the turtle's mouth opened.

'Puff--'

A stream of water sprayed out and landed on the water surface, splashing a lot of water.

The power is probably about the same as the high-pressure water gun used for car washing.

"Hmm! Interesting, you are probably not the Squirtle version of the other world!"

"No, your voice sounds like a female, it should be called Jenny Squirtle."

"Fu~" 'What are you talking about, I don't understand. '

"You don't understand, if you understand, then there is a ghost."

Looking at the rolling water, Beichen put away the fishing rod.

Jenny Squirtle messed up his nest like this

It was useless, and I guess everyone has already packed up, so it won't be too late to fish again later.

But it's not good to go empty-handed, I still have to bring something back.

Thinking of this, Beichen turned his head to look at Jenny Turtle.

Sensing Beichen's strange gaze, Jenny Turtle shrank her head and began to retreat.

"Fu~" 『Human, what do you want to do? 』

"You ate my fish, so you are my turtle. Why are you asking me? Of course I want to take you back."

"No, at worst I'll go down and catch you. 』

Roaring, Jenny Turtle ran towards the river, trying to get back into the water.

It didn't understand why the boy in front of it suddenly wanted to attack it, even though it had just sprayed water as he ordered.

"Hehehe, you still want to run?"

With a strange laugh, Beichen waved his hand and pulled Jenny Turtle, who had just jumped into the water, up.

『Human, let me go. 』

"That won't do. A fisherman never returns empty-handed."

"And you look good. I'm going to take you home and make you my sister's Pokémon."

After that, Beichen didn't care whether the other party was happy or not. He held its shell with one hand and walked towards the camp.

Although he didn't know what Pokémon meant, Jenny Turtle could tell that Beichen didn't want to kill it.

While he was relieved, he couldn't help but regret his greed.

Feeling Jenny Turtle's struggle weaken, Beichen thought that the other party had accepted his fate, so he comforted her:

"Just be happy! Being my sister's pet is a blessing you have earned in eight lifetimes."

"Not only will you have no worries about food and clothing, but you can also live in the underwater Dabie Wild."

Jenny Turtle didn't know what Dabie Wild was, but at least it understood Beichen's previous sentence.

"Really? You can eat delicious food every day? 』

"Of course, why would I lie to you. Here~"

As he said that, Beichen took out a plate of frozen dumplings from his storage ring and poured it into Jenny's mouth.

'Crunch-Crunch-'

Jenny Turtle kept chewing, and the light in her eyes became brighter and brighter.

'It's delicious, but a little cold and hard. '

"It's stuffed with cabbage and pork. It tastes better after being cooked." Beichen responded casually.

'Human, put me down. If there is this kind of food every day in the future, I will go with you. '

"Okay."

Hearing this, Beichen stopped and put Jenny Turtle down.

On all fours, Jenny Turtle showed no signs of running away, but took the initiative to walk in the direction of Beichen's advance.

The speed was not slow, probably about the same as the speed of an ordinary bicycle.

Seeing this, Beichen was also happy, jumped up, and jumped onto the turtle shell and sat down.

As Jenny Turtle's body rose and fell, Beichen shook his head, feeling very comfortable.
