Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

"Yes! Why not?"

"If I don't adopt them, why would I go to the mountains?"

On the highway heading to Gaoshan City, in a black nanny car, Beichen leaned back in his seat and answered Fiona's questions.

"Is that so? I thought Beichen-kun wanted to decide whether to adopt them after actually meeting them." Fiona said.

Just now, after listening to Beichen's explanation of the reason for going to Gaoshan, she asked curiously, "Will Beichen adopt them?"

Now that she got the answer, she didn't say anything more, but her impression of Beichen improved a lot.

Beichen didn't know that his favorability in Fiona's heart had increased. After hearing what she said, he just waved his hand and explained in a lazy tone:

"No need to go through so much trouble. We'll go over there and complete the adoption procedures and come back later."

"Although I can't make it in time for dinner, at least I can have a midnight snack."

"Okay, Beichen-kun."

"Well, drive safely. I need to catch up on some sleep. Also, if you get bored, just play some music. Don't worry about disturbing me."

"Got it, Beichen-kun."

After finishing the instructions, Beichen reclined his chair, closed his eyes, and began to fall asleep.

He wasn't really tired, he just had nothing to talk about with Fiona.

I might as well get some sleep and get enough rest before meeting the two new family members.

In fact, when Qingshui Liang told him to adopt an orphan at the beginning, he wanted to refuse.

After all, this is an island country. I can't just adopt a child just because you ask me to!

Even though he has a lot of money to spend, he doesn't want to keep an ungrateful person.

However, these two orphans had important backgrounds, so Beichen had no choice but to agree.

Kondo Sagiri and Kasugano Sora, these are the two sisters he is about to take in.

The former comes from "Eromanga Sensei" and the latter comes from "Yoshino!".

Whether it should be said or not, it is the holy book of orthopedics.

However, compared to the original work, the experiences of the two people now are more tortuous.

Kondo Sagiri.

It can be seen from the name that the other party is not a sibling of Izumi Masamune.

Before meeting Mr. Izumi, Kondo Shiho passed away in a traffic accident caused by a mysterious cause, leaving Sagiri alone.

Then Sagiri was assigned to Shimizu Ryo.

I stay in the roof attic most of the time and never come out.

This really gave Qing Shuiliang a headache, but he was not afraid of irritating her, so he could only do this and wait.

Compared to Sagiri, who is just a headache, Kasugano Sora's situation is much more serious.

He was born weak and sickly, and was often hospitalized since childhood. He was also attacked by a monster when he was young.

Although facing a life-and-death crisis, the girl burst out with her superpowers and managed to withstand the aftermath and survive.

But her family members were not as lucky as her and were taken away in one wave.

She had lost her close relatives, and no one among her relatives was willing to adopt a sickly girl like her, so she became an orphan.

After many twists and turns, he was sent to Qingshui.

In fact, it stands to reason that after the girl awakened her special powers, she should be adopted by some force.

But in fact it is not the case.

Because the temporary outburst overdrew the girl's vitality, her body became very weak afterwards and she was unable to withstand excessive energy flow.

It basically cuts off the path to becoming a transcendent person.

When the incident first happened, many people came under the pretext of adoption to check on the girl's situation.

But after realizing the girl's situation, they all shook their heads and left.

Before long, Qiong was forgotten by those forces.

Other adopters with normal intentions are even less likely to adopt a burden.

So, Qiong stayed in the welfare home.

By now, the treatment alone had consumed all of the other family’s inheritance, and the welfare home was also beginning to run out of money.

Qingshui is the head of the hospital and cannot ruin the lives of other children for one person.

In addition, Qiong is now 17 years old, about to become an adult and reach the age of dismissal.

He really couldn't bear to see the other person enter society like this and then slowly die from illness.

So she shamelessly contacted Beichen, hoping that Beichen would help take her in.

In his opinion, Beichen, who has the strongest fighting force in the island country as his master, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Not just money, but power.

Maybe with Beichen's help, Qiong can recover his health.

As for Sagiri, to put it bluntly, Shimizu got Beichen a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

Since they were all homebodies anyway, Qingshui naturally chose to take Beichen along with him based on the principle of not bothering two people with the same problem...

Beichen couldn't help but sigh after learning about the tragic experiences of the two sister-related heroes.

In the original novel, although both of them had lost their relatives, at least they had other people to rely on, unlike now, when they are all alone.

Beichen didn't have any special feelings about the death of Kasugano's family.

As the saying goes, my parents’ magic power is boundless, not to mention that even my brother was offered as a sacrifice to the heaven.

Since Qiong has awakened his superpowers, it proves that this wave is not a loss.

What really made him feel regretful was the passing of Kondo Shiho.

After all, she is a lady with fair skin, beautiful looks and good taste in clothes.

If Cao the thief can go, Beichen can also go!

……

"Beichen-kun, we're here."

Feeling someone gently shaking his shoulders, Beichen opened his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows.

Just now, he was free and reread the "Taoist Canon" in his mind, which made his head feel a little swollen.

"Taoism Canon".

A simple name contains complicated contents.

It cannot be called a secret book, it is more like an encyclopedia of cultivation.

It brings together all the cultivation techniques, magical powers, formations, elixirs, refining equipment, etc. of both the good and evil factions in Beichen's previous world, a series of imaginable and unimaginable detailed information.

In addition to the experience of cultivating immortals in the previous life, the Taoist canon is Beichen's other golden finger.

This time I read the Taoist scriptures mainly to see how to cure Qiong.

Although both seem to have damaged their foundations, Qiong and Ram are different.

On the surface, Qiong's health deteriorated due to the forced use of his supernatural powers.

In fact, the biggest problem should be congenital weakness, which makes it impossible to carry too much energy.

Ram can practice, but he has lost his horns, leaving only a small root hidden in his forehead.

In layman's terms, it is similar to a cultivator losing most of his dantian or a monster losing most of its life force.

It's impossible to generalize.

However, the two also have something in common, that is, they are difficult to cure.

These two situations are rather tricky in most mortal cultivation systems.

What's more, Beichen now has neither profound cultivation nor suitable treasures.

Collecting his thoughts, Beichen straightened his slightly messy shirt, then stood up and got out of the nanny car.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar building in front of him, Beichen sighed.

"I hope it's not worse than I thought."
