Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

After breakfast, Beichen took the twins and the black cat to school.

Since the first and second year high school students were not in the same building, the few of them separated in front of the teaching building.

Beichen did not bring Qiong to school.

The girl's physical condition now requires her to rest for some time.

There's no need for Sagiri to even think about it.

As for Beichen going to school, Fiona temporarily took care of their meals.

It was just preparing lunch, and Fiona could do it easily given her housework skills.

Ignoring the noise around him, Beichen quickly walked to his seat and sat down while thinking about finding medicinal herbs.

It was an act that couldn't be more ordinary, but when it was seen by Kato in front of her, she felt a sense of sadness from the bottom of her heart.

Since reaching Level 4 that night, her presence had further faded, just as she had expected.

Even blood relatives were not immune to being affected, and she began to be neglected more and more at home.

In order to assess the severity, she even called Yukinoshita.

If it were the original case, when the other party answered the call, after seeing the note, he should call your name in a familiar tone.

As a result, after a long silence yesterday, Yukinoshita called out her name in an uncertain voice.

It was obvious that Yukinoshita had basically forgotten her existence.

Being able to call out her name is purely due to the notes.

After coming to the conclusion, Kato wanted to call Beichen immediately. She felt that even if Beichen was affected, he should be able to quickly recall her after seeing the phone note.

But she was afraid that Beichen would be like Xueshita.

This is unacceptable to her.

After a while, it was Monday.

Kato didn't sleep well the night before and came to the classroom early.

I sat in my seat in a daze, staring at the cookies that I forced myself to make yesterday.

There were more and more people in the class, but no one noticed her.

Kato was not sad about this because it was usually like this.

Later, Yukinoshita walked into the classroom and also didn't notice his presence, which made Kato feel sad.

In the past, Yukinoshita always came in with a book. There was a bookmark in the book with her name written on it.

Yukinoshita said that she would see the name "Kato Megumi" every day when she read books in the future. In this way, even if she did not notice Kato's existence at the first time, she would still remember Kato.

As a result, Yukinoshita didn’t even take the book...

Even so, Kato still forced himself to stay strong. Even if he had completely given up, he would have to wait for Beichen to come.

So, the girl waited for Beichen's arrival with a strong sense of uneasiness.

Fortunately, Beichen didn't keep her waiting for long and appeared at the back of the classroom on time.

Watching Beichen getting closer and closer, Kato felt as if his heart had moved to his throat.

She wanted to take the initiative to say hello, but she couldn't say the word "morning". She didn't say a word until Beichen sat down.

Beichen seemed not to notice her and sat back in his seat as if no one was around.

"Ah~ I was forgotten."

Staring at the biscuits in his hands with lifeless eyes, Kato silently recalled his experience with Beichen.

"I'm such a troublesome person for making expectations without your permission!"

A crystal tear slowly slid down her fair face and silently dripped onto her school uniform.

"Don't cry, we have to say our final goodbyes."

Taking out a pink handkerchief, Kato wiped away the tear marks on his face and quickly adjusted his mood.

But when I was folding the handkerchief and preparing to put it away, I couldn't help but be distracted.

Shaking her head, the girl suppressed the sadness in her heart, pulled up the corners of her mouth, turned around and looked at Beichen.

"Beichen-kun, this is today's protection fee. You must, must, must remember to eat it~"

After saying that, Kato put down the biscuits and turned around. She couldn't continue to face Beichen.

Beichen was awakened from his thoughts by Kato's soft voice.

Beichen glanced at the biscuits on his table and then at Kato's back. He scratched his head, not quite understanding why the girl turned her head away as soon as she put the things down without waiting for him to thank her.

"Isn't the teacher here?"

With doubt in his heart, Beichen raised his hand and poked the girl's arm.

"Xiao Hui, did you put drugs in the cookies?"

"Eh?"

The moment Kato heard Beichen calling him, his heart was instantly filled with joy.

However, before she could be happy, she heard Beichen's question, which made her unable to react for a while.

Beichen couldn't help but laugh when he saw the girl's dazed look.

"If you didn't give me the drug, why did you leave the food there without caring about it and insist that I 'must eat it'."

"You are clearly guilty of a crime!"

"Let me think, did you put laxatives in it to retaliate against me for not continuing to accompany you shopping that afternoon?"

Looking at Beichen's smirk, Kato felt both angry and happy.

What makes me angry is that Beichen obviously doesn’t know shit, but he keeps talking nonsense.

The happy thing was that Beichen still remembered her and didn't seem to be affected at all.

As his mood fluctuated greatly, Kato felt his back was slightly wet.

After adjusting his mood again, Kato ignored Beichen's antics and spoke curiously:

"What happened to Beichen-kun just now?"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Beichen was stunned, "What's wrong?"

"Why didn't Beichen-kun say anything just now?" Kato explained in a gentle voice.

"Oh, I was just thinking about something. I wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings."

"What? You greeted me and I ignored you?"

After hearing Beichen's explanation, Kato suddenly felt like a fool.

First, he draws conclusions on his own, and then he becomes immersed in the sadness he has created and cannot extricate himself.

And one of the people who caused all this knew nothing.

Thinking of this, Kato couldn't help but puff up his face slightly, and his eyes began to look resentful towards Beichen.

"Hi~ I have to say, Kato is pretty cute when he's angry."

Looking at Kato who suddenly looked like a little puffer fish, Beichen couldn't help but feel confused while praising him.

After all, what a heinous thing he had done to make the paralyzed girl look angry.

Isn't it just that you didn't say hello?

"Eh? No, Kato's energy level has gotten stronger!"

Noticing that the energy fluctuations in the girl's body were quite large, Beichen began to concentrate and sense it.

After confirming that the girl had indeed upgraded, he finally understood why she was so sensitive today.

"Because I didn't say hello, do you think I forgot about you after you got promoted?"

Hearing this, Kato turned his gaze slightly away, no longer looking directly at Beichen, and said in a flat voice: "No, Beichen-kun."

"You're like this now, and you still say no?"

"It's not, it's not~"

"Why are you leaving it here?"

"What are you talking about, Beichen-kun?"

"I said, you are lonely."

"Eh? I'm still a student. How come Beichen has turned me into a woman in the boudoir?"

"..."

As he played with Beichen, Kato's mood quickly improved, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly between questions and answers.
