Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos

Although it feels strange to be Beichen's housekeeper, Fiona is actually quite satisfied with her current job.

On the one hand, in her opinion, Akatsuki was founded by Master Ling, and working for Akatsuki means working for Zero.

And Beichen is currently Zero's only disciple.

As long as she hangs around Beichen's house often, she will be able to admire Master Ling's demeanor again sooner or later.

To be fair, she would be willing to take care of Beichen every day and live in his house as a servant.

As for the other side, it is naturally related to the mission.

Her mission is to obtain more information about the other world of Toudou.

Originally, she wanted to get close to Kaguya Shinomiya to achieve her goal.

But now that she has become Beichen's housekeeper, her mission has not been delayed, and it is even more convenient.

Because Beichen is too lazy to take care of Akatsuki's affairs, and Yuri and Yoel only come to help when needed.

Therefore, when she came to Beichen to report, Beichen directly let her take over Akatsuki.

It doesn't sound like a big deal.

After all, Akatsuki is just a small group. In addition to the leader and three core members, there is only one peripheral member.

And the operation of Akatsuki depends entirely on Beichen's needs. Akatsuki will only move when he wants to buy and sell training resources. The rest of the time is basically recording the commissions from the Kaguya Group and handling related matters.

But in fact, it is not the case.

How can a neutral organization that has the strongest person in the island country and can provide everyone with advanced resources be simple?

With the special nature of Akatsuki, which force would not be a hot commodity in the eyes of it?

It's just that Fiona hasn't been put on the table yet. When everyone knows that she is the new administrator, she will definitely be invited to participate in the gatherings of the upper circle frequently, so that she can get in touch with more unknown information.

This is much easier than spending time to get into Kaguya's inner circle.

Beichen naturally didn't know her thoughts, but he was quite curious about Fiona's current experience.

"Shioliu, I'm curious why you gave up a safe and high-paying job and went to be a guard for Shinomiya."

Hearing Beichen's question, Fiona, who had already memorized the reasons by heart, didn't even blink, and answered without saying a word.

"Xiao-san should know that because of my shooting enhancement ability, I was previously engaged in new weapon testing at the Shioliu family."

"But my uncle always felt that it was a bit of a waste to put a level 5 extraordinary person like me in this position, so he recommended me to the eldest lady."

Beichen naturally didn't believe a word of her words, but he didn't care, he just started a topic.

"Is that so? How do you feel about your current job?"

"It's a very interesting experience. Although I'm much busier than before, it's my honor to be able to directly participate in the management of the organization."

"How is it? What else can it be?"

"What kind of nonsense are you asking? What's the difference between you and a boss asking his subordinates if they are tired at work?"

Fiona rolled her eyes secretly.

Seeing Fiona speaking in an official tone, Beichen knew that asking directly would be a failure, so he changed the topic and asked:

"What do you like to do when you are free?"

"Uh, is this also within the scope of work?"

"No, I just want to get to know Miss Shiodome."

Through the rearview mirror, Fiona looked at Beichen's sunny and handsome face, and was a little undecided.

"What's going on? What do you want to know about me for?"

"Didn't Hayasaka give him my information before sending me here?"

"Or did he read the information but want to know more about me?"

"Isn't this kid attracted to me?"

"Humph! As expected, even this kid can't resist my charm."

"But it's a pity that I like a strong, confident, and calm man like your master, not a little kid like you who hasn't even grown all his hair."

"Hey, I don't know when Master Ling will show up. I've been staying at the kid's house for a few days and haven't seen him..."

"Forget it, don't think about these things for now. The mission is important."

"Although I don't know what this kid means, I can use this to lay some groundwork."

Thinking of this, Fiona pretended to be hesitant and said:

"Speaking out may make Xiao laugh..."

From Fiona's silence just now, Beichen knew that this girl must be brainstorming, so he didn't urge her.

Now seeing her attitude, he knew that Fiona was going to set a trap for him.

So he took over the conversation cooperatively.

"What's so funny about this? We're all family."

"Tsk! Who is your family?"

"That's not right. If I become his teacher's wife in the future, I'll be considered one of his family."

Fiona's expression got a little out of control when she thought of the future when she would wear a wedding dress, walk into the church with Master Ling's arm under everyone's blessing.

Fortunately, the body memory she had cultivated over the years took effect again, and she suppressed her smile.

However, because of her forced endurance, Fiona's face looked even colder at this time.

"Then I'll tell you, don't laugh at me, Xiao-san."

"Go ahead, go ahead!"

"I like to watch anime and play games when I'm free."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Beichen couldn't help but straighten his back and secretly said, here it comes!

"Then what type and subject do you like?"

Seeing Beichen being so sensible, Fiona couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

But she didn't answer immediately, instead she pretended to be surprised and said:

"You don't laugh at me?"

She was not being hypocritical, but doing something that was in line with the style of this country.

Everyone knows the situation in the island country. Even though it has improved a lot in recent years, the situation of criticizing otakus and otakus still exists.

In the workplace, in order to fit in, people generally don't tell their close friends that they are otakus.

Therefore, after saying that she is an otaku, the other party not only did not dislike her, but asked a few more questions with interest, which inevitably made people feel surprised.

Fiona did this to put herself in the middle of it and make others believe it.

"What's so funny about this? You know I'm also an otaku." Beichen waved his hand indifferently.

"Hey! I'm overthinking it."

"Well, don't think too much. Come on, start your... um, no, tell me what type and subject you like."

Seeing Beichen's impatient look, Fiona curled her lips slightly.

"Boy, you won't be able to find a girlfriend if you're so impatient."

"Not to mention me."

Fiona complained in her heart, but she didn't stop talking.

"I like anime and games about adventures in other worlds."

"Oh, that's it."

"Yes, what about you, Xiao-san?"

"Me? Same as us."

"That's such a coincidence!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. What a coincidence~"

After getting the answer he wanted, Beichen immediately became perfunctory.

"No, why don't you keep asking?"

"Stinky brat!"

Seeing that Beichen didn't cooperate as before, Fiona knew that this impromptu action should have failed.

She wanted to continue the conversation, but it didn't fit her personality, so she had to give up.

"So you approached Tong the shopkeeper in order to get information about the other world in Dongdu!"

In the back row, Beichen quickly came to a conclusion based on Fiona's series of movements and actions.

This can't be blamed on Fiona for being too inexperienced. She gave up after being slightly tested by Beichen.

In fact, Fiona did a good job. No matter how you look at it, her behavior is very consistent with that of a normal person.

Nowadays, if not all people like the theme of another world, at least half of them like it, which is not surprising.

If you want to blame someone, blame Beichen for cheating and knowing her identity in advance.
