Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

If this had happened before, Kaguya might have gotten angry at the mention of Beichen and couldn't help but curse under her breath.

But the enlightenment she just experienced made her more open-minded, and even her dislike for Beichen was almost completely eliminated.

It's not that hatred has turned into love, it's just that I'm tending towards indifference, and perhaps even a little gratitude.

"I'll apologize to him later," Kaguya said calmly.

"I was too impulsive before and was unwilling to be inferior to others."

"Now I have finally figured it out. First place is just an empty title. What I should really pursue is self-strengthening, rather than being burdened by empty titles."

"As partners, Xiao Beichen and I should have established a good relationship. It was only because of my ego that led to the current situation."

"So, tomorrow I will apologize to him, not only for today, but for the past as well."

“This is my responsibility.”

"Uh..." Hayasaka was stunned.

Listen, listen.

Is this still the arrogant Kaguya?

Does this sound like something that Kaguya would say?

The sun comes out in the west?

"Don't be surprised. This is just the result of my rational analysis. Don't you think so?"

"My opinion is not important, everything comes first, young lady." Hayasaka responded.

"So, you're not denying it, are you?"

"Hi! Miss, please forgive me."

"Humph."

Dissatisfied with Hayasaka's attempt to smooth things over, Kaguya snorted.

"Put away your tact, we don't need this between us."

"Hey! I do think what the lady did before was wrong."

"Xiao has done us a favor. It would be fine if you didn't repay him, but instead you go against him everywhere. It's really unwise. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are an ungrateful person."

"And you get angry easily when you're with Xiao-san. To be more precise..."

"She was like a little girl whose beloved lollipop was taken away from her. She was very childish."

"You said that I shouldn't be so smooth."

A certain blonde, scheming maid thought so.

"Hayasaka!"

"Hey! Miss, I was wrong."

Looking at Hayasaka kneeling down to apologize, Kaguya's chest felt swollen with anger.

I'm asking you to stop pretending, not to hurt my feelings.

"Go and accept the punishment yourself." There was a hint of annoyance in the girl's voice.

Hearing this, Hayasaka curled her lips secretly, and then responded respectfully with the same tone:

"Yes, miss!"

……

Time flies, and it's already Friday night.

Beichen sat on the carpet in front of the TV, his eyes fixed straight ahead, pressing the handle frantically, staring intently at the screen.

While taking the fruit handed to him by Rem with his mouth tilted, he scolded Papu beside him.

"You useless cat, I've already told you that we have bad luck today. It's not suitable for us to come to a crowded place. Play it safe and go to the wild."

"But you just wouldn't listen and insisted on coming to school to be an evil force."

"That's it?"

"He fell to the ground and became a box?"

"You can't even be Voldemort, how can you be an evil force?"

"Bang." "You can't blame me for this. How can I fight a troll with a knife on the ground?"

"Bah?" "Besides, there must be no one in the jungle?"

"Bang!" 'Hey! Run! His teammates are coming.'

"I want you to tell me!"

After swallowing the fruit in his mouth, Beichen controlled the character and walked out of the classroom.

"Hehe! Don't look down on the poor young man. Wait until I find a gun."

Beichen said this, causing the character on the screen to wave the frying pan in his hand, as if he was really cheering himself up.

Looking at the quarrel between the man and the cat, Rem, who was kneeling beside Beichen, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

She likes days like this, with her sister, Beichen, and a cat.

"Beichen-kun, Miss Hayasaka sent some things over, saying it was Miss Shinomiya's compensation to us." Rem said softly.

"Hmm? A gift?"

Hearing this, Beichen paused what he was doing.

Three days have passed since I last scolded Kaguya.

After sending Kitagawa home, she also invited Beichen to come up and sit with her.

But Beichen really didn't want to continue drinking tea at that time, and running to a girl's house so late at night would easily cause misunderstanding.

He rejected Kitagawa's invitation and turned back home.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way.

Not only did he not pick up the high school girl, but even when he went to the convenience store, he didn't pick up the white-haired, mouthless necromancer wearing plate armor.

Much to his disappointment.

The main thing in the past three days is the exam.

This is Donggao’s consistent practice. Generally, an entrance exam will be held one or two days after school starts to test whether students have slacked off during the holidays.

In addition to this, what is more interesting is naturally Kaguya’s apology.

To be honest, Beichen was a little surprised to see Kaguya after she advanced.

He really didn't expect that Kaguya would achieve enlightenment and breakthrough after being scolded by him!

I have to say, she is worthy of being the female protagonist, her talent is so terrifying.

Beichen couldn't help smacking his lips, and withdrew his thoughts. He asked without raising his head:

"What did she give?"

"A bunch of makeup and a dozen maid outfits of various styles."

Hearing Beichen's question, Ram, who was sitting on the single sofa next to him, put down his teacup and responded.

"That's it~"

Looking at the word "settlement" on the screen, Beichen touched his chin.

Cosmetics are easy to understand, girls~

Even though the Ghost Twins are naturally beautiful and don't need much makeup, loving beauty is ultimately their nature.

After gradually becoming familiar with modern society, they would occasionally dress up a little and go out shopping.

It’s just that Beichen doesn’t quite understand this maid outfit.

Why give work clothes to others for no reason?

Tell him to continue to work like a slave?

If someone else did this, Beichen would definitely think that he was being annoying, but if it was Hayasaka Ai, then it would be a different matter.

With Hayasaka's emotional intelligence, she would never do such a thing without a special reason.

While thinking, Beichen looked around at the clothes of Rem and Ram, and suddenly it became clear to him.

I understood Hayasaka's intention.

Those maid costumes were ostensibly given to the twins, but in reality, he was the ultimate beneficiary.

Good guy, Beichen exclaimed good guy!

Hayasaka knows how to give gifts.

"Ahem, since it's been delivered, just accept it!"

"I was thinking before, if Black Cat is free, let her take you to buy some cosmetics."

"Now that Hayasaka has sent it over, it saves a lot of trouble."

"As for the maid costumes, you guys can try them on. If you like them, you can keep them and we can wear them in rotation in the future."

Thinking about having different styles of maids to look at every day in the future, Beichen couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, Beichen-kun."*2

Not knowing Beichen's evil intentions, Rem and Ram both felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, so they agreed.

Seeing that the two agreed, Beichen was very satisfied and made up his mind to repay Hayasaka in the future.
