Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos

After a long journey, Beichen came out of Sanhua's house late at night.

After declining the girl's farewell, Beichen got off the elevator smoothly and came to the gate.

Just as he was about to go home, a familiar shout suddenly came from not far away.

"Senior! Senior Beichen!"

"Fuck, are you going to let me go home!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Beichen couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But there was no way, since they had greeted him, he had to respond.

"Hey! Junior sister Haimeng, why aren't you going home to sleep so late?"

Yes, the person who came was Kitagawa Haimeng.

Beichen hadn't seen her since her father brought her to visit him last time.

Now, seeing her for the first time, he was a little surprised.

At this time, the girl was wearing the traditional style of the East High School uniform, with golden hair and hot girl makeup, which had a kind of composite beauty that combined fashion and tradition.

And her fair skin was even more delicate and dazzling against the backdrop of the dim environment.

"Really a senior!"

Kitagawa said in surprise as she walked quickly to Beichen's side.

Just now, she just felt that Beichen's figure was familiar, so she tried to call him a few times.

Unexpectedly, it was really Beichen.

Compared to not seeing Beichen for a long time, she actually saw Beichen from a distance when school started yesterday.

It was just that the environment did not allow it at that time, or she didn't dare to get close to Beichen.

After all, Beichen was surrounded by everyone at that time, like a star surrounded by a moon, and there was a talented lady like Kaguya Shinomiya to accompany him.

Although she is usually a bit careless, she can still make sense at critical moments.

At that time, don't join in the fun and go up to Beichen to say hello, it's easy to cause misunderstandings...

"So you didn't recognize me at all, but you called me out first?"

Beichen was speechless about the girl's recklessness.

"What's the matter? At most, I'll apologize." Kitagawa stuck out his tongue and defended himself, then changed the subject and asked, "It's so late, why are you here, senior?"

"I came to visit my sister and was just about to go back. How about you?"

"Me? I just finished shooting and was about to walk back. Look, my home is in that apartment over there!"

As he said, Kitagawa raised his hand and pointed to an apartment in the distance.

Following the girl's jade finger painted with pink manicure, Beichen looked at the building in the distance.

After realizing that there was still quite a distance from here, he thought about it and asked:

"I think it's still a long way from here. How about it, do you need me to take you back?"

"Senior, you want to take me back?" Kitagawa was surprised when he heard that Beichen wanted to take him back.

"Yes, it's late at night, and it's not safe for you as a girl." Beichen nodded as a matter of course.

If he hadn't met him, he wouldn't care. Now that he has met him, it's only a dozen minutes away anyway. It would be a bit unworthy of a senior if he didn't send him back.

"Hey! Senior, you are so nice! I'll treat you to ramen next time."

Kitagawa didn't bother to be polite with Beichen, and agreed with a smile.

"Don't give out nice guys cards randomly, junior sister!"

"No way~ I'm obviously praising you."

"Okay, let's go. I'll take you back earlier so I can go home earlier."

"Hi, hi, hi!"

As they talked and laughed, the two left the apartment building, and their figures gradually disappeared into the darkness.

…

In the suburbs of Dongdu, in the empty open-air shooting range at Kaguya's residence.

Hayasaka Ai stared at the thin figure at the shooting position, with a trace of pity in her eyes.

Ever since being lectured by Beichen, Shinomiya Kaguya has been immersed in her own world, not even having dinner.

She just sat quietly at the shooting position, stroking the longbow in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.

The moonlight poured down like flowing water, quietly falling on the girl, giving her an extraordinary beauty.

The delicate body seemed to be given life under the moonlight, emitting a faint silver light.

The already beautiful face was looming in the moonlight, adding a bit of mystery and charm to the girl.

The only pity was that the girl's ruby-like eyes were lifeless from beginning to end.

And the originally firm and deep eyes now revealed a trace of confusion and confusion.

Hayasaka Ai understood that this confusion was not caused by Beichen, but by the girl herself.

Kaguya was too lucky.

It seemed that everything started to go smoothly since Beichen found her.

Grasping power, from

The family withdrew and gained a certain degree of freedom.

Everything went so smoothly, as if she was loved by the world.

In addition, she was the eldest daughter of a top chaebol family, and there were only a handful of people who could surpass her in status and position.

So that the girl rarely faced oppression from a higher level since then.

Yes, in Hayasaka's view, Beichen's reprimand was oppression.

Beichen's identity inherently determined that he was on the strong side when he was with Kaguya.

Even though Beichen had a good temper, he was always cheerful and looked like he didn't care about anything, but the fact was that.

It is no exaggeration to say that when Beichen turned cold, she was scared to death.

Although Beichen's tone was still calm, and he also expressed his importance to her, she was really afraid that Beichen would be unhappy and directly cancel the cooperation with Kaguya.

Even she was so unbearable, let alone Kaguya who faced Beichen directly.

"You long to escape from the cage of the Shinomiya family and gain complete freedom, but you still have to look at other people's faces. It must be very helpless, even desperate!"

Looking at the increasingly thin figure of the girl, Hayasaka thought so.

...

The night was as dark as ink, and the empty shooting range was quiet.

I don't know how long it took.

Hayasaka suddenly realized that the energy field around him was a little unstable. Just as he was about to concentrate on exploring the source of the fluctuation, the ripples disappeared.

And at this time, Hayasaka felt a slight sense of oppression from Kaguya.

"Miss?"

Although she didn't say it clearly, Kaguya still understood what Hayasaka wanted to express from the tacit understanding of years of getting along, and nodded slightly.

"Level 5."

"Congratulations, Miss."

"Yeah."

Kaguya responded with a flat tone and a calm expression, as if it was not her who broke through.

Hayasaka didn't care about the girl's cold attitude. She was happy for Kaguya's breakthrough from the bottom of her heart.

Upgrading is secondary. The main reason is that Hayasaka feels that the improvement of her ability shows that Kaguya has figured it out to a certain extent.

Otherwise, there would not be a breakthrough without any signs, right?

Hayasaka is Kaguya's only "bedside man" at this stage.

Whether it is guessing Kaguya's thoughts or predicting her behavior, Hayasaka is very accurate.

The fact is just as she thought.

Before, Kaguya was deeply confused and strongly doubted whether everything she had done for so many years was really useful.

Will the complete freedom she longed for really come?
