Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos

The girl was so embarrassed that she was so embarrassed.

"Give me back the mask."

When Sagiri's weak protest was heard, Beichen snapped his fingers and returned the mask.

After putting on the mask, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and complained:

"Beichen Nissan is really mean. He actually treated me like this. I am a beautiful girl anyway!"

"Then you look a bit like a beautiful girl." Beichen pointed at the desktop and complained, "Look at your reaction just now. How can you look like a beautiful girl?"

Sagiri couldn't refute this. She opened and closed her mouth for a long time, and finally turned her head and hummed softly.

"Hmph~ Forget it, I won't argue with you."

"Now that I'm adopted by you, I have to thank you..."

As she spoke, the girl seemed to recall some bad experiences.

Her lively personality also calmed down, and she began to chew the food in her mouth silently.

For a while, the living room became quiet, with only the sound of tableware colliding.

After a long time, Sagiri put down her fork and bowed in the direction of Rem.

"Yeah~ I'm full, thank you for the hospitality."

Then she patted her stomach, stood up and prepared to go upstairs.

However, as soon as she took a step, she stopped and looked at Beichen with some expectation.

"That... Beichen Nissan, when you brought me back before, did you bring back the drawing papers on the ground?"

Although she did not become Izumi Masamune's illustrator.

But out of persistence in her childhood promise and the idea of ​​diverting attention, Sagiri did not stop drawing during the two years in the welfare home.

Without money to buy a computer and a digital tablet, she chose to create with pure manuscripts.

What Beichen had put away before was the result of her hard work over the past two years.

She originally planned to leave the welfare home after she became an adult, and make a living by supplying manuscripts to the publishing house with these things.

Now Beichen came in and got her out of the welfare home.

She naturally planned to implement her plan ahead of time.

Whether it was to make a living or not to burden Beichen, she needed a source of income.

"Brought it back."

Taking out a thick stack of A4 paper from the storage ring, Beichen handed them to Sagiri.

"Great, I was just thinking, if you forget, I have to ask Dean Qingshui to send it to me!"

Taking over the drawings, Sagiri quickly counted them.

After finding that there was nothing missing, she was immediately overjoyed, rubbing the paper with her face, like a pervert.

"Ah~ my wives, guhehe~"

Looking at the cuteness of the girl, Beichen also became happy and said softly:

"Since you like painting, then keep painting."

"I'll have someone send a batch of computer equipment over later, remember to go downstairs and choose a set."

"Really?" Hearing this, Sagiri looked at Beichen in disbelief.

She never thought that Beichen would support her hobby so much.

"Does Beichen Nissan also like to look at erotic pictures?" Sagiri asked curiously.

"Ahem!"

Being choked by the girl's straightforwardness, Beichen's old face turned red, and he immediately stiffened his neck to excuse himself:

"Don't talk nonsense, we usually have to go to school, I was afraid that you would be bored at home, so I prepared it for you kindly."

"Besides, how can you belittle your hard work like this."

"What erotic pictures? That's clearly art!"

Hearing Beichen's flattery, Sagiri felt a little flattered.

Apart from her mother and childhood friends, it was the first time she heard someone praise her.

This made her feel a little bit of identification with the fellow traveler in front of her.

Just as she was about to sit back in her seat and discuss the mystery with the other party, Rem's cold voice sounded from behind them.

"What about art~ Sister, when can such shameless pictures be called art?"

Hearing this, Beichen's body stiffened, and suddenly he felt like he had done something bad and was discovered by the class teacher.

And Ram, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but gloat after seeing her sister's face full of frost:

"Rem, you have to understand that these paintings can indeed be called art for a single old man~"

"Eh? Really? Does Beichen think so too?"

"I..."

"Please don't rush to speak, Beichen."

"If I remember correctly, Miss Kondo seems to be still a child in this world. Is it really okay to let a child draw this kind of pattern for you?"

A series of questions, coupled with the girl's eyes like looking at a bug, Beichen didn't know how to answer for a while.

On the contrary

It was Sagiri who suddenly raised her hand, attracting everyone's attention.

"I know this question!"

"The island country does not stipulate that minors cannot draw obscene pictures!"

Sagiri's tone was firm, and she held her head high, as if she had done something very proud.

As her voice fell, Rem's aura also stagnated, and she stared at the silly girl blankly.

Is she concerned about drawing obscene pictures? She cares about Beichen's attitude!

Seeing this scene, Beichen, who was standing by, couldn't help but open his mouth to laugh.

"Huh?"

Unfortunately, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was glared back by Rem with his azure eyes.

...

Happy times are always extremely short, and it was Monday in a blink of an eye.

When Beichen lazily walked downstairs and came to the living room, a familiar figure came into view.

Seeing Beichen noticed her, the girl put down her exclusive cup, leaned back slightly, and leaned on the sofa.

She crossed her legs, rested the back of her left hand on her right cheek, and showed a three-part smile exclusive to the queen of the second dimension.

"Kukuku~ My dependent~ You can reach here by your own will~ I want to praise you~"

"... This is my home, where else can I go if I'm not here."

Scratching his belly speechlessly, Beichen raised his legs and walked to sit opposite the black cat.

The person who came was the black cat.

Her real name is Gogen Ruri, from the famous orthopedic anime "My Sister Can't Be This Cute!".

Her online name is Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat, abbreviated as Black Cat, a game expert and a senior chuunibyou patient.

Beichen's acquaintance with her was very old-fashioned.

Three years ago, when Beichen was out as a gai liu, he happened to meet the black cat being chased by a strange person.

Because the other party was wearing a signature cosplay costume at the time, Beichen quickly recognized the other party's identity and saved her.

At first, Beichen didn't take it to heart, but the girl kept saying that she wanted to thank Beichen.

Beichen had no choice but to agree.

Considering the poor family background of the girl, Beichen gave up the idea of ​​asking her to treat him to a meal.

After learning that the other party's ability was "skillful hands and soul", he took out a bunch of materials and asked the other party to make a set of Xiao uniforms for him as a reward.

Black Cat would naturally not refuse this.

A few days after the two separated, the girl came to Beichen and handed the finished uniforms to him.

At first, Beichen didn't care much about this uniform.

But by chance, Beichen casually put on the uniform made by Black Cat, and then he really realized the uniqueness of the girl's ability.
