Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos

After the two adjusted their sitting positions, Beichen raised his hand and put an energy shield on each of them.

With this layer of protection, the two will not only not be thrown off during the high-speed driving, but also serve as a temporary barrier when attacked.

Everything is ready, Beichen jumped lightly and jumped onto the back of another dead beast.

Sitting behind Rem, who had been waiting for a long time, one hand was on the girl's shoulder, and the other hand raised Juque and knocked the dead beast's butt.

"Let'go!"

"Roar!"

The dead beast felt pain and roared towards the cave entrance.

The dead beast carrying Nanami and Kitagawa immediately followed under Beichen's command.

The sudden acceleration caused the two girls to scream.

Fortunately, with Beichen's energy shield, the two of them were still firmly stuck on the back of the dead beast.

After the initial fear, the feeling of rushing like lightning gradually made them excited.

Kitagawa was the most exaggerated among them.

After confirming that she would not fall, she raised her arms high, opened her mouth, and began to howl "ah ah" and "oh oh", like Tarzan.

Looking at the happy girl, Rem, who was sitting in front of Beichen, couldn't help but curl her lips slightly and asked:

"Are these two girls also the anime characters that Beichen likes?"

She is not a fool. How could she not know that Beichen must know and like Aoyama Nanami and Kitagawa Umi.

Otherwise, he would not personally rescue the girl from death.

You know, the wounded person he met at the beginning is not dead yet!

And judging from the injuries, he only had a broken arm and leg, not as serious as Nanami's internal organs.

"Yes, they are the same as you, they are all characters I used to like." Beichen nodded first, then shook his head and continued: "But you are different from them. If I like these people, then I am partial to you."

Faced with Rem's question, he did not hold back or hide anything. If he liked them, he liked them. There was no need to hide anything.

"Oh~ So that's it. Beichen is really philanthropic!"

Hearing Beichen's straightforward speech, Rem's expression was still as calm as water, and it seemed that he did not have any emotional fluctuations because of Beichen's words.

He even joked with Beichen, causing the boy to rub her hair.

After a laugh, the two returned to calm, as if the series of actions just now had not happened, only the girl's slightly red earlobes seemed to be telling something.

...

The dead beast was very fast.

After running at top speed for about an hour, everyone came to the upper level of the maze.

The reason why Beichen was so sure that he and others had reached the upper level was because of the spider nest he had just passed by and the slime cave in front of him.

In the original book, the protagonist followed this route to join the main force.

"So we are going to fight the boss soon?"

After clearing all the monsters in the hall with a spell version of "Great Fire Extinguishing", Beichen held the only remaining underage slime in his hand and thought about the next plan.

Originally, he planned to rush directly into the boss room.

That is, the skeleton hall with a metal door.

But along the way, he found something wrong.

That is, there was no living person.

This is very abnormal.

Logically speaking, even if the people in the patrol team were not of high level, as long as they stick together, they should be able to survive.

As a result, along the way, let alone people, there were no corpses.

"It seems that something has happened in the maze, causing the difficulty of the original novice copy to increase."

Beichen stopped cautiously in the slime cave near the boss room for this change that deviated from the original.

Prepare to settle the three girls first, and then go to the front to investigate the situation.

After making up his mind, Beichen threw the slime aside, clapped his hands and stood up.

"Senior, is this a slime? A small fish that often appears in games and animations?"

Seeing that Beichen had finished thinking, Kitagawa, who has always been lively and active, asked first.

"You are so bold, you actually said that slime is a small fish! Where do you put my cute king?" Hearing the girl's speech, Beichen pretended to be serious and reprimanded.

"Slightly~Senior, the cute king is a time traveler, a special case!" Hearing this, Kitagawa smiled and made a face at Beichen, and then asked with expectation, "Senior, can I catch it?"

"Uh, I suggest

Don't grab it. Although the shield I set up for you can protect you from damage, if you actively touch it, you may still be corroded by its mucus. "

"Oh~Is that so? Okay."

Hearing that he couldn't do it, Kitagawa was a little disappointed, but then he squatted down and picked up stones and threw them at the slime with great interest.

Her behavior obviously angered the slime, which was a monster.

Even though it was the weakest one in the tribe, it still dared to show its sword in the face of the enemy, constantly expanding and twisting its body, extending its tentacles to attack the human with fish lips.

However, every time its tentacles were about to attack the girl, they would be blocked by a transparent barrier.

Kitagawa didn't think there was anything wrong, but it scared Nanami next to him and hurriedly pulled He grabbed Kitagawa's arm, trying to stop her from committing suicide.

Seeing the girl's behavior, Beichen did not stop her.

They had a temporary protective shield he had set up, and the Cricket Level 0 Slime could not hurt them at all, and could not even consume the shield energy, so he let Kitagawa mess around.

And because of the uncertainty ahead, Beichen did not intend to continue moving forward with the two ordinary girls, not even Rem.

Therefore, seeing that they could find fun here, he was more assured to leave them here.

"Rem."

"What's wrong, Beichen-kun."

Rem's response came from his ears, Beichen turned his head and stared at the girl who had been standing beside him without saying a word since just now, and warned:

"You and them will rest in this cave later. I'll go ahead to explore the way. Don't come over without my voice transmission."

"Will it be dangerous?"

"No, it's just more troublesome. "Beichen said affirmatively.

What a joke, he is a golden immortal who has lived for tens of thousands of years.

Even if he can't beat him, can he still run away?

"Okay! Please don't mind us when necessary."

After getting the answer he wanted, Rem nodded immediately and expressed his thoughts implicitly.

From Beichen's rare pause for contemplation, she could guess that Beichen must have noticed something wrong and stopped in this cave.

He might encounter an enemy that he finds difficult ahead.

If Beichen feels troubled with his strength, then they will become a burden if they follow him.

In this case, it is better to stay in a safe area honestly to reduce Beichen's worries.

Seeing the girl's resolute eyes, Beichen laughed, raised his hand and pinched the girl's smooth face, indicating that the girl should not be so nervous.

"Hehe, it's not that serious, I will definitely come back. "

After saying that, he turned around and told the other two of his decision.

After going through so many things, Nanami and Kitagawa were naturally not fools, and they immediately said that they would follow Rem obediently.

Seeing that things were arranged properly, Beichen waved to the few people, carried Juque, and walked towards the upper passage.
