Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

"I'm sorry for the offense. There are a lot of people here now." Beichen said apologetically.

I swear to God, he really doesn't care about Kato.

The main reason is that he pays more attention to safety when crossing the road. He doesn't chat or play with his mobile phone, and most of his attention is on the truck heads at the intersection.

This was why he didn't notice that Kato had gotten separated from him at the first moment.

On the sidewalk.

There was an endless stream of pedestrians, and the streets were filled with the smell of perfume mixed with sweat. Everyone had a slight frown on their face, expressing the irritability in their hearts.

In this noisy environment, Beichen and Kato stood there as if frozen.

Not only did the people around them turn a blind eye to this, they also subconsciously avoided the two people's position.

This is not because they have a change of heart and cannot bear to break this warm scene.

Instead, Beichen used the expulsion spell.

He just remembered to use magic to make ordinary people who were close to him subconsciously avoid where he and others were.

He hadn't used it before because he rarely used this trick under normal circumstances.

After all, with his looks, those 'big' sisters would occasionally take advantage of the crowd to get close to him, take advantage of him, and even dribble into people with the ball.

After squeezing out of the crowd, he would always have many small notes in his pocket...

Feeling the soft and delicate touch in his hand, Beichen withdrew his thoughts and looked at his hand.

I grabbed Kato just now because I was afraid that she would be taken advantage of by someone else again.

Now that the two of them have reunited and have the power of magic, there is no need to keep holding on to each other.

"I was afraid you would be swept away again, so I grabbed you. Now I have cast the avoidance magic, they will avoid us."

Having said that, Beichen loosened his five fingers and prepared to pull his hand back.

Unexpectedly, Kato suddenly grabbed Beichen's wrist and said softly, "No, this is just right."

Hearing this, Beichen was stunned and looked at the girl with some confusion.

His relationship with Kato is not good enough for them to go shopping hand in hand.

Seeing Beichen's puzzled look, Kato remained calm, raised his other hand and shook the phone.

"Beichen-kun, there are too many people here, so it's not convenient to chat. To kill time, I want to play with my phone for a while. How about you take me into the mall first?"

"..."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't play with your phone while crossing the road! Do you want to go to another world?"

Beichen didn’t think there was anything wrong with the girl’s reasons.

Based on his understanding of Kato, the girl herself is a mobile phone addict. Therefore, it is normal for her to play with her mobile phone while walking.

The only thing that made him feel a little strange was why Kato didn't pull the corner of his clothes but chose to hold his wrist instead.

However, after thinking about it, Beichen felt that Kato might feel that pulling the corner of his clothes was not as firm as pulling his wrist.

He simply did not think too much about it. After making a few complaints, he also grasped the girl's wrist with his backhand and led her to the mall.

Staring at Beichen's tall back, feeling the warmth from his palms and wrists, and the reassuring breath coming from him.

An unprecedented warmth suddenly surged through the girl's body.

It was the first time that she felt cared for by someone other than her family.

It’s hard to describe this feeling. I can only say that it’s like soaking in a hot spring. It makes people feel extremely relaxed and at peace.

Beichen led her away in a daze until she was awakened by the strong wind from the blower at the entrance of the shopping mall.

After looking around and finding that they had entered the mall, Kato did not let go of Beichen's wrist immediately. Instead, he gently pulled Beichen, signaling him to stop.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

After receiving the signal from the girl, Beichen stopped and turned to look at the girl.

"Beichen-kun, you can let go now~"

"Oh oh oh."

After hearing what Kato said, Beichen reacted and immediately let go of his hand.

I thought Kato would let go of my hand at the same time as I did.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see any movement from the other party, and he still held my wrist.

Noticing Beichen's gaze, Kato raised his other hand, pointed at the mall and said:

"Look, Beichen-kun, there are a lot of people in the mall. In order to prevent you from getting lost, I have to continue holding your wrist."

"Then why did you ask me to let go?" Beichen asked curiously.

"It's hard to go shopping because you're holding my wrist."

"That's true."

Beichen nodded. It was indeed not convenient to pick clothes at any time with two people holding each other's wrists at the same time, so he raised his eyebrows at the girl without any doubt.

"Then let's go?"

"Yeah." Kato took a step forward and walked to Beichen's side. He slightly adjusted the position of his grip on Beichen's wrist, then pointed to a jewelry store not far away and said to Beichen, "Beichen-kun, let's go to that store first."

"it is good!"

After he finished speaking, Beichen moved his arm slightly, motioning the other party to follow him, then turned and walked towards the jewelry store.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Beichen felt that Kato was holding his wrist a little lower this time, and it seemed a little closer to his palm.

Moreover, at this moment Beichen completely forgot that with the help of the exorcism spell, the girl didn't need to lead the way at all when she was not playing with her mobile phone.

……

As we all know, shopping with girls is a very physically demanding activity.

Sometimes I can work out like crazy in the gym, but when I get to the mall, I always feel inexplicably exhausted.

As a 'big boss' of cultivation who has condensed the Void Pill, Beichen naturally has enough physical strength.

But even so, he couldn't avoid sweating on his forehead.

Just as he was about to pull his hand back and take out a tissue to wipe it, a calm voice came from beside him.

"Beichen Jun, please face me and lower your head."

Hearing this, Beichen subconsciously followed the other party's instructions, turned to the girl and lowered his head slightly.

When he was about to ask the other party what he wanted to do, a snow-white arm holding a pink handkerchief reached out to his forehead.

"Don't move~"

Kato's unique, plain and soft voice came into Beichen's ears, and he realized that the other party was trying to wipe his sweat.

Without avoiding, Beichen sniffed the subtle fragrance coming from the girl's waving arms, quietly enjoying the girl's caress.

After noticing that the other person was also sweating, he couldn't help but joked:

"You used a handkerchief to wipe my sweat, so what will you use later? Also a handkerchief? Does this count as indirect kissing?"

"Hey~ I just saw that Beichen was having a hard time carrying the bag, so I took the initiative to help you~"

Kato avoided talking about Beichen's joke and instead explained the reason why he took the initiative to wipe his sweat.

Although it was not stated explicitly, Beichen still felt as if he had been told "Don't think too much".

"Okay! Thanks!" Beichen shrugged and said nothing more.

Only after the girl wiped the sweat off his face did she stand up straight.

On Kato's side, after wiping Beichen's sweat, he folded the handkerchief and raised his hand to wipe his own sweat.

It seemed as if he didn't care about Beichen's words at all.

But her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly with the movement of her hands, and her slightly red earlobes told her that the girl's mood was not as calm as she appeared.
