Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

"Of course I have no problem with that, but I don't know if Sawamura is willing." Beichen shrugged.

"She has no objection either." Sayuri glanced at Eriri, signaling her to speak.

"Ha, ha, mom is right. Bei, Beichen-kun." Ying Lili forced a laugh.

Even if you are dissatisfied with your mother's behavior, you still have to follow basic etiquette in social situations.

"Yes, Ying Lili." Beichen nodded.

The two people's eyes met for a moment in mid-air, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

This made Ying Lili feel sympathetic, but also a little uncomfortable.

After all, I am not familiar with Beichen, but now we have to call each other by name intimately.

Spencer, who was standing by, smiled and pointed to the door.

"Beichen-kun, this is not the place to talk. The banquet is about to start, let's go in first."

"it is good."

"please."

"Ah."

Beichen nodded and walked into the mansion with Fiona in his arm.

The banquet was held in the spacious living room, where European-style hollow chandeliers emitted bright and soft light.

The crystal accessories on the chandelier sparkle brightly under the light, like stars, adding a sense of luxury to the entire scene.

As the door opened, bright light shone through the crack in the door onto Beichen and Fiona who were walking slowly, as if covering them with a layer of golden gauze.

The man is handsome and elegant, and the woman is noble and cold.

"What a perfect match."

The originally noisy banquet hall fell into a brief silence, and everyone couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Haha, it's really rare to meet Beichen-kun."

A deep voice sounded, breaking the silence at the scene.

Beichen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome middle-aged man speaking. He was holding a wine glass in one hand and holding a white-haired loli in the other.

"Long time no see, Mr. Shioliu." Beichen responded with a smile.

Beichen didn't remember the name of this middle-aged man, but he knew the white-haired loli beside him.

Shiodome Shioya is from the anime "I Was Kidnapped to a Noble Girls' School as a "Commoner Sample"".

A super genius, she has obtained various patents in the fields of engineering and chemistry at a young age. Although she is not in the same school as Beichen, her legend is still circulating in Donggao.

At this time, the little girl was wearing a white bubble skirt and was led by the middle-aged man towards Beichen.

His expression was dull, his blue eyes were unfocused, his mind was obviously not on the scene, and he looked out of state, cute and adorable.

"It's been a long time. The last time we met was a year ago."

Standing in front of Beichen, Uncle Shiodome turned his head to look at Fiona and asked with a smile:

"Wei, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

"I'm sorry to have made you worry. I'm living very well here in Beichen." Fiona responded softly.

Her official identity is Shioliu Wei, a relative of the Shioliu family living abroad, so it is normal for her to say hello.

I think Spencer invited the Shioli family over with the intention of getting closer to them.

"You~" Uncle Shiodome shook his head unhappily.

"Mr. Beichen, my distant cousin has a cold temper. If there is anything that I haven't done well, I hope you can bear with me."

Hearing this, Beichen patted Fiona's hand and said with a smile:

"How could that be? Fiona is fine like this. With her around, I don't have to worry about anything in the organization, and she takes good care of the family. To be honest, I'm the one who can't leave her."

"I can rest assured that."

The conversation between the two was clearly heard by everyone present, and everyone looked at Fiona with a little more eagerness.

Before, they only knew that Fiona was the secretary sent by Kaguya to Beichen, responsible for handling Beichen's external affairs.

Now that they have sensed a different meaning in Beichen's words, they have to re-evaluate how they get along with Fiona and spend more time trying to get closer to her.

Fiona seemed unaware of the changes in the looks of the people around her. At this moment, she was already immersed in Beichen's words just now.

If it were in the past, before she got rid of her spy identity, she would be grateful for Beichen's recognition and would be able to use this identity to obtain more intelligence.

Now~she felt that Beichen was announcing her status in the Beichen family to everyone.

"Ah~ Lord Beichen said he couldn't leave me. Is this a public display of love?"

"No! This is a declaration of love!"

"Hate it~ Lord Beichen is so bold."

If she wasn't the center of attention at the party, she would be so happy that she would twist and crawl.

On the other side, with the Xiliu family taking the lead, other guests also came forward to chat with Beichen.

Fiona, immersed in joy, completely forgot about the social engagements she was supposed to attend. Her mind was wandering, and she was led around everywhere by Beichen.

She would only respond when others asked her questions, and she didn't come to her senses until the meal was over.

Realizing that she had done something stupid, Fiona was filled with anxiety. She was annoyed and quickly bowed to Beichen and said:

"Beichen, I'm sorry, I, um~"

Before she could finish, Beichen picked up the last piece of baked potato on the plate and stuffed it into her mouth, stopping her from saying anything else.

"Come on, stop apologizing so often. I won't blame you for these little things."

"Also, if you don't like attending banquets in the future, just don't attend them as much as possible. Don't force yourself."

"We are not yet at the point where we need to maintain our power by attending banquets."

Taking back the fork, Beichen said indifferently.

Although I don’t know why Fiona suddenly became absent-minded before, it’s not a big deal.

Beichen just thought that Fiona, like him, didn't like attending such hypocritical banquets.

"Well."

Fiona mechanically chewed the potato pieces in her mouth and fell into a daze again.

"Is this feeding?"

"Am I being fed by Lord Beichen?"

"Still use his fork."

"Is this the legendary indirect kiss!!!"

It seemed that because there had been a lot of system crashes recently, Fiona quickly recovered.

Just at this moment, Spencer's voice came from the main seat.

"Mr. Beichen, are you satisfied with tonight's dinner?"

"Very satisfied. Thank you Mr. Spencer for the hospitality. I can feel your hospitality." Beichen said politely.

"That's good." Spencer smiled slightly, then changed the subject and sighed, "Beichen Jun's experience of slaying dragons in another world makes my blood boil. I used to dream of becoming an adventurer and creating an epic adventure in another world."

Beichen was slightly stunned, then nodded in understanding.

"I encountered a lot of interesting things in this other world. If Mr. Spencer doesn't mind, we can go to a quiet place to have a good chat."

"Ah! That's great, I'd love to." Spencer stood up with a smile.

After greeting the other guests, he led Beichen and Fiona to the study upstairs.
