Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

Realizing that he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag again, Onodera blushed and quickly turned to look at Nanako.

Seeing his mother's evil smile, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said excitedly with his neck stiff:

"In short...in short, you just need to know that none of the girls who have confessed their love to him over the years have succeeded."

“Among them, there are many girls who are outstanding in every aspect.”

"It seems that he doesn't want to be in a relationship, at least not now."

"Even if he sees that I like him, so what?"

"Xiaojun himself knows that there are many people in the school who like him. Does he have to warn and keep away from them one by one?"

At this point, Onodera suddenly felt a little discouraged.

"Perhaps, this is also Xiaojun's gentleness."

"He probably doesn't want to end up not being able to be friends anymore, so he wants to tell me in this way that we can just be friends..."

Hearing this, Nanako retracted her playful smile and touched her smooth chin.

Although her silly daughter's analysis sounded fine, she always felt that things were not as complicated as Onodera thought.

And after observation, Nanako felt that Beichen must have a good impression of Onodera.

After all, the look Beichen gave Onodera couldn't deceive anyone.

It's not that kind of love welling up in his eyes, but a kind of appreciation, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

It's weird, at least that's what Nanako thinks.

"Then have you ever thought that Beichen likes you too?" Nanako asked tentatively.

"Bang!" The girl transformed into a steam girl again.

Why haven’t you thought about it?

She has even thought about what university her children will go to in the future!

But can I say this?

Of course not.

"How...how could it be, Oka-san, don't talk nonsense."

"There are many girls in school who are better than me. Even Xiaojun rejected them. How could she possibly fall for me?"

"I'm dumb, my grades are bad, I'm ugly, and I always mess up."

The more he talked, the lower Onodera's mood became.

"..."

Seeing this, Nanako knew very well that the reason the two of them had made no progress was simply because Onodera had no self-awareness and was a coward.

If she had more self-confidence, more initiative, and learned from me, she would have a granddaughter now.

Holding her forehead helplessly, Nanako felt a little tired.

How could such a free and easy woman give birth to such a silly, love-brained daughter?

"Okasan, what's wrong with you?"

Nanako heard Onodera's caring words and said weakly:

"Ah~ Nothing, I just suddenly feel a little tired."

"Then shall I help you go upstairs and rest for a while?"

Onodera did not suspect anything and immediately held Nanako's arm and was about to help her go upstairs to rest.

Nanako slapped away the hand the girl extended and waved it away in disdain.

"It's okay, don't worry about me."

With that, Nanako walked over to the booth and picked up the dishes that had been messed up.

Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

There wasn't much she could do, it all depended on Onodera himself.

In her opinion, it would be great if her daughter could end up with Beichen.

However, she also knew that a genius like Beichen would definitely have no shortage of confidantes around him.

There were several friendly businessmen around her who wanted to introduce their daughters to Beichen through her, but they were all rejected by Beichen.

Although it may seem like pushing my daughter into trouble, times are changing.

Now that the regulations allow it and her daughter likes it, there is really no need for her to be the evil person who breaks up the couple. She is not a pedantic person.

Moreover, in the era of extraordinary people, strength is king.

Otherwise, you cannot protect the people around you, you cannot protect your family business, and everything will be fake.

……

At the same time, in an apartment, there were two young girls who, like the mother and daughter, were caught up in complicated thoughts because of Beichen's arrival.

The difference is that Nanami is thinking about making hot pot for the first time and is worried that it may not suit his taste.

Before, at Beichen's house, she just helped out at most and rarely cooked directly, and she didn't know Beichen's taste preferences.

I just called Rem for help, but the reply I got was that Beichen likes Chinese food and barbecue.

Nanami was immediately confused because she had never cooked Chinese food before.

When it comes to barbecue, the Kitagawa family only has ordinary kitchen utensils and no barbecue equipment at all.

Although it's okay to make fried meat, Qihai always feels that this is neglecting Beichen.

Fortunately, Rem gave her a new suggestion, which was to make hot pot.

Nanami knows this.

I made it when I was at Beichen’s house. All you need to do is make a soup base and prepare the dipping sauce.

With an idea in mind, she hurried downstairs, bought some ingredients, and then came back to make the soup base and prepare the side dishes.

On the other side, in the bedroom, Kitagawa was thinking even more.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Why???"

"Why did I see such an embarrassing scene the first time I let Senior into my house!!!"

Curled up in the bed, Kitagawa was breathing heavily, his cheeks flushed.

Some are angry, some are shy.

In the afternoon, she woke up from her deep sleep.

When she saw Nanami wearing an apron, she was unable to react for a moment.

When she realized what was happening, she wasn't too excited. After all, they were all girls, and Nanami would occasionally come to her house to play.

It was not until the talisman that was originally attached to her forehead lost its effect and fell onto the quilt that the memory of death suddenly came to her mind.

She finally remembered the figure she saw before she fell into a coma.

Then she fell into isolation, especially when Nanami kept nagging her about not cleaning the house.

"Why don't you leave a good impression on your seniors~"

Recalling her first encounter with Beichen, she was covered in mucus and smelled foul, but at least she had colored pupils.

As a result, she didn't even wear colored contact lenses this time, and the house was filled with spoiled takeout.

When Kitagawa thought that Beichen not only saw her original eye color, but also her messy bedroom, he wanted to die.

Folding his arms, Kitagawa buried his head in the bulging human heart, feeling sad.

'Sniff, sniff.'

Suddenly, Kitagawa smelled a very faint but extremely familiar fragrance from himself.

"What a familiar smell."

After thinking for a moment, Kitagawa's face suddenly turned red.

She suddenly remembered what Nanami had said before:

"You are such a fool. You were so weak but you still insisted on holding on. You should have called me earlier... As a result, you fainted just after I opened the door and before I could say anything. If Xiaojun hadn't acted quickly to hold you, you would have fallen to the ground!"

"Is this the smell of senior?" Kitagawa murmured.

The nose twitched unconsciously.

'Sniff, sniff.'

When Kitagawa smelled this fragrance again, he suddenly felt his brain become clear.

"Ahhhh!!!"

“What am I doing!!!”

"Isn't this just like a nympho!!!"

Realizing that his behavior was inappropriate, Kitagawa wrapped himself in the quilt, turned himself into a caterpillar, and kept wriggling on the bed to alleviate his inner shame.
