Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

"Beichen Jun, there is a smell of blood ahead."

Different from Beichen who is casual, Rem always pays attention to the movements around him.

When she smelled the blood coming from upwind, she immediately grabbed the corner of Beichen's clothes and entered a combat state.

"Well, don't be nervous, I'm here."

Turning back, Beichen reached out and patted Rem on the head.

Since he knew the origin of the maze and after the monster was generated, he used his spiritual sense to scan the surrounding situation.

Therefore, Beichen was very clear that before the demon overlord appeared, the monsters in this maze were all small fry to him.

No matter how many there are, they cannot threaten him, so there is no need to be on edge all the time.

Being cautious is a good thing, and he considers himself to be cautious.

But if you are overly cautious when you know that you and others are completely safe, that would be foolish.

You know, it's very tiring to be on edge all the time.

Be careful not to let the small monsters drain your mana bar before the big boss appears.

For this purpose, Beichen also put away his spiritual sense exploration and switched to mental perception which consumes less energy to save physical strength.

"Hi!" After hearing Beichen's words, Rem relaxed a little, but still maintained minimal vigilance and followed Beichen.

The incident happened not far from Beichen and others.

As the distance got closer, the smell of blood became stronger.

Gradually, I could hear a series of terrifying chewing sounds - the sound of bones being chewed bit by bit.

There was also the sound of some creature rubbing against the ground as it moved.

Combined with the environment they are in at the moment, it feels like a haunted house.

After entering the cave, the flashlight beam first shone on three bloated monsters.

"It's a worm-type monster. Judging from its energy reaction, its level is 1~2." Beichen reminded.

Then his eyes moved downwards, and all he saw was blood and limbs. The scene was quite bloody.

Most people might not be able to bear it, but for him and Rem, it was just a drizzle.

Beichen was particularly impressed. The moment he saw the three worms, he immediately thought of something inappropriate:

'Chicken flavor, crunchy!'

There's no way around it; these three worms look too much like the exploding worms that Bear Grylls once ate.

But compared to the fat white exploding worm that Bear Grylls ate, the worms in front of him were undoubtedly much uglier.

The body is covered with dark brown stripes and circular patches.

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

Under the strong light, the worms roared at Beichen.

If you ignore their hideous mouthparts and the mucus and flesh splattering from them, Beichen thinks their calls are quite cute.

Frowning, Beichen and Rem took a few steps back.

It's not fear, it's disgust.

Seeing the actions of Beichen and others, the worms thought that the two wanted to run away.

Then he raised his head, twisted his body, and the back of his head began to swell slightly, obviously intending to spray out some dirty liquid.

Beichen naturally wouldn't let them get their wish.

In order to prevent them from continuing to pollute the air, Beichen threw Juque into the air.

He raised his sword finger, turned his wrist, and drew a circle towards the bug.

In the blink of an eye, the heads of the three worms were sunken by the giant sword.

The body that was originally raised high, nearly as high as three stories, fell to the ground like mud.

Only a small amount of dark green liquid oozed out of their mouths, flowing onto the ground and emitting bursts of green smoke.

After circling the cave, Juque flew back into Beichen's hands.

"Done! Let's go! To the next level!"

With a snap of his fingers, Beichen carried Juque and walked towards the passage on the other side of the cave.

Rem followed closely behind him.

“Save…save…save…me…”

Just after the two of them passed through the worm's body, a faint cry for help was heard in the cave.

However, Beichen did not stop at all and continued walking on his own.

"Beichen Jun, shouldn't we save him?"

"Huh? Why save him?" Beichen asked puzzledly after hearing Rem's words.

This question really stumped Rem.

Yes, why should we save him?

Since Beichen pretended not to see it, it meant that he had no intention of taking action.

If that’s the case, what right does she have to ask Beichen to help save someone she doesn’t even know?

And the person who asked for help was seriously injured.

Most of his lower body was missing, and one of his arms was also missing. More importantly, his face was black and blue, and it was obvious that he had been poisoned.

Her water magic does have a healing effect, but it can only heal superficial injuries at best.

How can we save him then?

Let Beichen use the healing medicine that he fed them that day?

You know, in such an unknown place, any medical supplies and means are precious.

It's true that she is kind, but her kindness is only when it does not harm the interests of herself and others.

If she ends up having nothing to use when the two people behind her get injured in order to save this person, how can she still face Beichen?

After figuring out the key, Rem lowered his head and said apologetically:

"Sorry! Beichen-kun, I spoke too much."

"It's not a big deal! Why are you apologizing?"

Beichen didn't care about Rem's kindness, it was just human nature.

But for him, his kindness and patience are limited in a place like an island country.

"If you care about him, just give him a quick death! It will be considered as helping him."

After taking a look at the Japanese man leaning against the wall, Beichen suggested to Rem.

Given this person's current situation, living is a torture.

"Hi!"

Hearing this, Rem nodded.

Without hesitation, he raised his arm towards the wounded man.

"El Shuma."

As the words fell, a small blue magic circle appeared in front of the girl's palm.

Then, a slender and crystal clear icicle grew out from the center of the formation.

In the blink of an eye, it changed from short to long and stabbed straight into the wounded man's heart.

"Uh……"

The man's body trembled, and after letting out a hoarse cry, he became silent.

Seeing this, Rem waved her hand, and the icicle quickly disintegrated in the air and scattered on the ground like snowflakes, which was very beautiful.

"Why don't you use the ice pick? I remember you knew that trick."

Beichen was a little curious, because the magic power consumed by using icicles was obviously more than that of ice cones.

Rem just wanted to kill a person who couldn't move, so there seemed no need to go to so much trouble.

"Using ice cones to attack is not accurate enough. It would be better to use icicles. You can control the direction more precisely and kill with one strike."

"After all, this man is not an enemy, and I don't intend to torture him," Lem explained.

"Tsk tsk, as expected, my Rem is still kind and kind."

After hearing the girl's explanation, Beichen raised his hand and rubbed her little head.

"No way~"

Feeling the warmth coming from above her head, Rem squinted comfortably.

For a moment, the cave full of broken limbs and arms felt somewhat warm...
