Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos

The two of them were sitting on the ground, and the two of them were sitting on the ground.

Beside the campfire.

Qie Hui looked at the dim talisman in her hand, her eyes full of regret.

She was on the list of people who would be on guard today.

Although she was not feeling well, the list was decided yesterday, and she was embarrassed to ask for a change with others, so she still forced herself to perform the duty of keeping watch.

Her partner was Hayasaka.

At Beichen's request, there must be two people on guard, one from Beichen's team and one from the first-year team.

Hayasaka went to patrol around the camp more than ten minutes ago, leaving her alone in the camp.

Bored, she took out the talismans in her arms and checked them one by one.

When she found that the lines on four of the talismans had turned gray, she felt distressed.

She knew that these four talismans had become ineffective.

Taking out a lunch box from a small storage bag, Qie Hui carefully put the talismans in it, and then closed the lid and put it away.

‘Hu——’

Qie Hui took a long breath.

Because the ineffective talismans looked very fragile, Qie Hui didn’t even dare to breathe.

Lowering her head, Qie Hui looked at the remaining talismans in her hand.

Under the illumination of the orange-yellow flame, the lines on the talismans flickered with a faint glow.

Extending her index finger, she carefully traced along the lines.

It was a combination of words and symbols she had never seen before.

Unconsciously, Qie Hui recalled the dilemma during the previous exchange meeting.

When Du Dao mentioned the precautions during menstruation, even if he didn’t mention it by name, Qie Hui knew that Du Dao was reminding herself.

It made her so embarrassed.

Fortunately, she was sitting in a corner at the time and no one noticed her.

However, although she was extremely embarrassed, she was still very grateful to Busujima.

"Mr. Honba."

Just as she was sighing in her heart, a shout rang out.

'Ah——'

Caught off guard, Kirie was frightened and trembled all over. Her fingers loosened and the talisman was thrown forward.

Just as she was about to fall into the bonfire, a white arm suddenly appeared and grabbed the talisman continuously, and all the talismans were taken into her hand.

"Here, junior Honba."

Glancing at the talisman without leaving a trace, Kato handed it to Kirie calmly.

"Thank... Thank you, senior." Swallowing her saliva, Kirie thanked with difficulty.

"Mr. Honba, I'm sorry, I scared you just now."

Quickly approaching Kirie, Chitanda bowed slightly, looking apologetic.

The people who came were Chitanda and Kato, they came to change shifts.

"No... nothing."

Taking a step back, Kirie waved her hands quickly.

After getting a response, Chitanda straightened up and was about to ask about Hayasaka's whereabouts when she suddenly saw the familiar talisman in Kirie's hand.

With a slight exclamation, Chitanda asked in confusion:

"Nissan's talisman? How come classmate Honba has so many?"

"Huh?"

Honba was stunned.

"This... is this from Senior Beichen?"

"Yes."

Chitanda nodded, pointed to the words on the talisman and said:

"Only Nissan can write this kind of words. When I was a child, I asked him where this word came from, and he said it was from another world."

"If I remember correctly, this should be a talisman that can make people run very fast."

Hearing this, Kirie breathed quickly, and her blood boiled. She completely forgot that she was a social phobia. She stepped forward, turned out another talisman and handed it to Chitanda.

"What about this?"

"This is for restoring physical strength."

Chitanda responded by touching her lips.

'Boom.'

Kirie's mind went blank and her eyes looked a little dull.

Chitanda was right. Although Busujima did not explain the effect of the talisman to her, she did feel the two effects in the afternoon.

In other words, the talisman was not Busujima's, but Beichen's?

It was Beichen who found out that she was uncomfortable during her period and helped her, not Busujima?

"No, no, no, you can't think like that. Maybe Beichen gave it to Busujima, and then she didn't use it. After seeing that I was uncomfortable, she remembered to give it to me."

"That's right, that's it!"

"It's impossible that the senior found out that I was on my period!"

"It's impossible!"

Seeing that Kirie's face was blue and red, Chitanda couldn't help but asked worriedly:

"What's wrong? Honjo-san."

"No... nothing." After coming back to her senses, Kirie shook her head quickly.

"Oh."

Kirie didn't want to say it, and Chitanda didn't ask any more questions. She looked around and asked:

"Where's Hayasaka-senpai?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hayasaka appeared beside the three of them.

"Kato-san, Chitanda

"Tanda-chan, you're here early." Hayasaka said.

"I woke up early, so I came here naturally." Kato explained.

"So we're changing shifts now?"

"Well, you should go back and rest early."

"Okay. "

Without being polite, after a simple handover, Hayasaka and Kirie walked towards their tents.

Because they had a night watch mission, the two lived together today.

The same was true for Chitanda and Kato.

Kirie crawled into the sleeping bag in a daze, her eyes wide open, showing no sign of falling asleep.

There was no way. When she thought that the talisman might have been given by Beichen to Dudao, she always felt as if her whole body was crawling with ants, itching unbearably.

It's not that she hates Beichen, she can't thank him enough!

It's mainly because of this matter~ It's so embarrassing!

…

The next day, Kirie woke up from her sleep.

In the early hours of the morning, she couldn't stand the fatigue after all, and fell asleep.

After a simple packing, Kirie walked out of the tent with two light dark circles under her eyes.

As soon as she went out, she saw the boy who had "tormented" her for most of the night.

"Hey! Good morning, my junior sister! "

The morning sun shines on Beichen's smiling face, as if he has been covered with a golden veil.

Qihui's eyelids twitched, and a strange feeling came over her.

Although she was also nervous and shy, Qihui always had a strange sense of urgency that urged her to stay away from Beichen.

"Morning..."

After stammering in response, Qihui immediately turned around, like a rusty robot, swinging her stiff limbs and hurriedly leaving the place.

After feeling Beichen's eyes moving away from her, Qihui felt a lot more relaxed.

"What's the matter with this child?"

Beichen turned his head to look at Kato after mumbling in confusion, pointing at his face and asked:

"Xiaohui, is there something on my face?"

"No."

Looking at the handsome face close to him, Kato felt his heartbeat was a little faster. But it was not obvious on his face, and his voice was still flat.

"Then why do I always feel that her eyes are weird? "

Hearing this, Kato did not reply immediately.

She saw Kirie's strangeness last night, and combined with her situation and her performance at the exchange meeting with Dokushima, she could roughly guess one or two.

Although she was not very sure, it didn't matter anyway.

Things were not important;

People, too, didn't need to be important.

Raising her hand as if nothing had happened, Kato straightened Beichen's wrinkled collar and said:

"Don't think too much. This classmate is shy. Maybe he was scared by your enthusiasm just now."

Feeling the girl's warm fingertips sliding on his neck, Beichen narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"Indeed, these days, don't guess what girls are thinking."
