Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

"Beichen-kun, didn't you go fishing? Why..."

Looking at Beichen who had transformed into a turtle knight, Rem opened his thin lips slightly, and his dazed look was very cute.

"Hey, this is my catch!"

Jumping off the turtle's back, Beichen raised his hand and pinched the girl's pink face, explaining with a smile.

What he said was true. He was fishing, and the fish was catching a turtle. Rounding it off, it was the same as he was fishing for a turtle.

Although Rem found Beichen's explanation strange, she did not continue to ask. Instead, she raised her hand to tidy up the corners of Beichen's clothes that were messy due to the bumpy ride.

"Wow, a pink turtle!"

"so big!"

Beichen's return made quite a commotion, and many girls who were originally resting on the spot came over and surrounded Jenny Turtle, pointing and talking.

"Senior, are you planning to take it with you?" asked Mizukami Sakura.

She has a good impression of this turtle which is the same color as herself.

"Yes, take it home and let Menma play with it." Beichen nodded.

When she heard that the famous turtle had an owner, a hint of disappointment flashed in Mizukami Sakura's eyes.

"Okay. Senpai is really nice to Honma-san. Even though we've come to another world, he still thinks about her all the time."

"Of course, she's my stepsister!"

Beichen wiped his nose with his thumb with pride, and at the end he did not forget to cue Chitanda, "Eru, if you want, I'll catch another one on the way, there are no more here."

"No, Nissan."

Chitanda smiled and shook her head. Compared to animals, she was more interested in plants.

"Damn it, I've heard that Senpai is a sister complex, but I didn't expect it to be this serious."

Looking at Beichen, whose brotherly attributes were unusually strong, Komari secretly complained.

Feeling Komari's malicious gaze, Beichen turned his head to look.

Seeing Beichen looking at her, Komari immediately changed her attitude and acted harmless.

Beichen naturally didn't know what she was thinking, but he knew that Xiaomao must be saying bad things about him in her heart, so he teased with a sly smile:

"Hey~ Junior Doma is awake, I thought you had to sleep until noon, after all, we were so intense in the early hours of the morning."

"Early morning?"

"fierce?"

Beichen's ambiguous words immediately caused everyone present to scream in surprise, and their eyes swept back and forth between the two of them.

"Damn you, you idiot-senpai, for saying something so ambiguous."

When Beichen looked at her just now, she had a bad feeling, but she didn't expect that Beichen would speak in riddles as soon as he opened his mouth, saying things that made people think a lot.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were getting more and more weird, and even a chill coming from their backs, Komari immediately forced a smile and explained:

"I...I couldn't sleep yesterday, so I came down to discuss the arrangements for the experience in another world with Beichen. It's just that the words were a bit intense, right, senior."

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Beichen.

While her companions' attention was all on Beichen, Komari looked pleading, hoping that Beichen would let her go.

Originally, he just wanted to play a teasing on the other party. Seeing that Komari was sensible, Beichen did not hold on to her and nodded to confirm what she said.

"Yeah, Doma-san criticized me when we talked about yesterday's trial."

"That's it."

"I see."

"I told you that Mamoru-chan wouldn't be so... uh, casual?"

Seeing Beichen admit it, some people present were relieved.

Especially for Komari, after she felt the knife-like eyes on her back disappeared, she felt a slippery sensation on her back.

Unfortunately, before she could rejoice for long, she heard Takagi's voice beside her.

"If this is a discussion, then why didn't Doma-san go back to the tree house, but slept in Beichen-senpai's tent instead?"

"That's right, the stockings fell off~" Hilfen nodded.

"What are you guys doing here?!"

Feeling a chill down her spine again, Komari wanted to kill both of them.

"Um, well..."

As she said this, Komari looked at Beichen for help.

Giving Komari a reassuring look, Beichen explained:

"Maybe because she was too tired, Doma-san suddenly fell asleep while listening to me. No matter how I called her, she wouldn't wake up. I had no choice but to send her to the tent."

"I see." Takagi winked playfully, "Senior is really considerate."

"Hey! It's my duty to take care of my junior."

"So did you carry Doma-san in?"

"..."

"Oh, can I still make it back alive?"

A chill came over her, and Komari felt that the question now was not whether to kill Takagi, but whether she could go back alive.

"I'm just an ordinary person, why should I be dragged into your Shura field!!!"

Komari was roaring in her heart, her eyes were filled with despair.

'Snapped! '

Accompanied by the sound of a finger snap, Komari suddenly felt her body lighten and slowly float up.

When I looked up at the others, the situation was the same as mine.

"Why are you hugging her? Isn't this magical?"

Beichen's voice came again. Although the tone was very casual, it sounded like heavenly music to Komari's ears.

Then the sound of finger snapping rang out again, and everyone slowly landed on the ground.

Along with the falling of the earth, Komari's heart, which had been hanging in the air, also fell to the ground.

When Takagi got the answer, his expression was a little strange, and he was even at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

"Senior Beichen is really... polite."

"That's natural."

"..."

Seeing Beichen chatting and laughing with a group of schoolgirls, Huiye couldn't help but interrupt:

"Xiaojun, now that you're back, we should set off."

"Oh, yes." Beichen slapped his forehead. After being disturbed by the girls, he had forgotten about hurrying on his way.

"Okay, don't gather here, check if there's anything missing, we'll set off in ten minutes."

"Hi~"

After everyone left, Beichen returned to Jenny Turtle and briefly explained the next arrangements to it.

Because it is slow, Beichen will definitely not let it stay outside, so he has to put it in the beast bag and let it sleep inside.

He had prepared this beast-taming bag before he set out, and he had spent a lot of effort looking for the materials.

The quality is not high, but it is still no problem to install Jenny Turtle.

Just when Beichen was about to finish his explanation, a faint shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Ghost...Senior Beichen~"

Beichen turned his head and saw Xiaomaishushu hiding timidly behind a big tree, waving at him and observing the movements around him from time to time.

"This is the situation. Wait for me to come back and put you in the bag. I'll let you out after I get out."

"Fu~" "Got it."

After getting a response, Beichen stood up and walked to the big tree where Komari was hiding. Before he could speak, the girl pulled his arm and hid in a secluded corner behind the tree.

"What are you doing? Are you planning something bad to me?"

"Don't do that, I'm going to scream!"

With his arms folded across his chest, Beichen pretended to be afraid and said.

Seeing this, Komari clenched her fists.

If she didn't need a favor from the other party, she really wanted to settle all the new and old grudges and beat Beichen to death with her little fists.
