Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

In another world, in the inner city of the Holy Empire, inside a magnificent carriage.

Loli and Beichen sat opposite each other, each holding a handheld game console and playing it enthusiastically.

The 'click' sound emitted after the button was activated echoed throughout the carriage, covering up the sound of the wooden wheels hitting the ground.

"Ne~Beichen!" A loli's lazy voice suddenly sounded in the car.

"Hmm?" Beichen responded with a nasal tone without raising his head.

"Why do we have to go to the palace?"

Putting down the handheld game console in her hand, Loli complained weakly.

As a messenger of God, and a messenger of God different from the one of the Holy Empire, she had no interest in the palace here.

Hearing this, Beichen pressed the pause button, raised his head, and said with a smile:

"After all, this is someone else's territory. We have to come and meet the host. Besides, I think the messenger of the God of Light should be there by then."

"Hey~ okay~"

Sighing, Loli had no choice but to accept the reality.

She also knew that her status meant that the empire's top brass would not turn a blind eye. Even if she was just visiting the imperial capital, she had to report it first.

Picking up the handheld game console in a huff, Loli began to randomly manipulate the little character on the screen.

"Take it easy. If you break the button, I won't give you a new one."

"Don't be like this~"

The loli threw a coquettish look at Beichen, but unfortunately Beichen didn't fall for it.

"You don't know how to take care of things. Look at Lelai. After playing with her handheld game console every day, she wipes it with a handkerchief and puts it in her bag."

"I know. Why are you so long-winded? It's like you're old."

"...Then should I call you little sister?" Beichen was speechless.

"I've heard the girls on the team say you're a 'sister complex'. I didn't expect you to be one and have set your sights on me."

"If you want, it's not impossible~ Of course, I still prefer to hear you call me sister~"

The loli licked her index finger with the tip of her tongue and smiled sweetly.

"Forget it, you're too young."

After muttering inwardly, Beichen lowered his head and continued playing the game.

Loli and Beichen were chatting and laughing here, but they ignored Kaguya who was standing aside.

But she didn't have the mind to care about these things at the moment.

It was rare for Beichen to create conditions for her. She was happy but also a little nervous.

Because Beichen's operation did not meet the requirements, it seemed a bit risky.

After all, she is an emperor under the feudal system, and a young empress with real power. If you suddenly do something that goes against her wishes, she may be unhappy.

Even though she was used to many ups and downs, she still couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

But Beichen’s approach is also a great opportunity.

If the sky is not taken, the blame is on the contrary.

Nothing is without risk. Even eating has the risk of diarrhea...

‘Woo——’

The heavy and low sound of a horn interrupted the girl's thoughts. She opened a corner of the curtain and saw the Holy Knights in silver armor and the Griffin Knights, the empire's highest fighting force.

Cross flags fluttered in the wind, and majestic griffins stood on both sides of the road.

From their strong limbs and the eagle claws that glow with cold light, it can be seen that this griffin regiment is the elite among the elite.

"A welcome ceremony of the highest standard!"

Kaguya's pupils shrank.

She knew the specifications of the Holy Empire's welcome ceremony.

In the past, when diplomatic missions from other countries arrived, retired griffins, who were specially arranged to serve as a receptionist, were often arranged to serve as the guard of honor.

There are very few cases like this where elite troops are sent out. The succession ceremony is one example, and having the head of state in the delegation is another.

But in any case, it is not what an exchange group should have.

Not to mention the Paladins, who rarely appear in diplomacy between countries.

Apparently it was because of Lori Mercury.

"Hey! Loli, you are so proud!" Beichen's teasing voice was heard in the car.

"Ah~ The Holy Church is so troublesome, always doing things for show." The little girl rested her chin on one hand, put her elbow on the window sill, and looked out the window bored.

Then, as if remembering something, he spoke:

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Eleanor for over two hundred years." (A fictional character, not in the original novel)

"Saint?" Kaguya asked curiously.

"Yes, Eleanor Divya, the new envoy of God who was chosen at about the same time as me."

"My goodness, the saint is permanent, but the emperors come and go?" Beichen complained.

"You're right." Loli rolled her eyes and added, "She's a big sister~"

"Are you the 'big sister' I'm thinking of?" Beichen raised his eyebrows.

"Guess~hehe." Loli smiled meaningfully.

The two people's obscure driving left Kaguya, a novice in physiology, confused.

I wanted to ask a few more questions, but then I had a warning sign in my heart. I felt that if I knew the truth, I would be the one who would be hurt, so I just shut up and looked out the window...

Soon, the carriage of several people stopped at the palace gate, and then, under the guidance of the maid, the three of them walked around and around and came to a pavilion.

"Lori, long time no see."

Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.

A gentle voice came from inside the gauze tent, and then a big sister walked out of the tent.

She was dressed in a pure white saint's dress with gold edges, her eyes were covered with a white ribbon, and her whole body radiated a soothing white light. She was a rare beauty.

Most importantly, she is a big sister!

The wide robe cannot hide its magnificent nature.

In comparison, Petraka standing next to her was as innocent as a child.

The only thing that might be worthy of praise is Petraka's beautiful face and the imperial temperament she exudes.

Under the golden crown, he looks noble and aloof.

"Eleanor, long time no see." Loli nodded slightly.

"Your Highness Loli, welcome to the Holy Empire." Petraka lifted her skirt and saluted Loli.

"Hello, Eldante III."

Loli had never met Petraka before, so she just called him by his title.

After responding to Petraka, Loli turned her head and looked at the saint.

"Eleanor, why did you ask me to come here? You should know I won't do anything rash."

"I know." Eleanor nodded with a smile.

"then you?"

"I have come from afar, naturally to reminisce with you, and also for this young man."

As she spoke, Eleanor turned her gaze to Beichen with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Beichen?"

"Me?" Beichen was stunned. "What do you want to see me for?"

Beichen originally thought that it was Petraka who was looking for him, but he didn't expect it was this saint?

The Saint did not answer Beichen's question immediately. Instead, she turned sideways, pointed at the tables and chairs in the pavilion and said:

"Standing here isn't a good idea. We still have time, so why don't we go in and talk?"

"it is good."

Beichen was not polite. Upon hearing the invitation, he called the two people beside him to walk into the pavilion.
