Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos

After a long time, the two of them went to the restaurant and met each other.

After going around in circles, it was already half past twelve in the afternoon when Beichen and Kato arrived.

After entering the restaurant, under the guidance of the waiter, the two came to the table and stood still. Beichen let go of Kato's hand and asked him to sit down.

Yes, although it was a bit abrupt, in fact, when they were shopping just now, their hands were inexplicably held together.

Recalling carefully, it seemed that Kato let go of his hand from time to time to choose clothes, and then held Beichen's wrist again.

Just repeating this, from Beichen's wrist to the back of his hand, then from the back of his hand to his fingertips, and finally directly put his hand in Beichen's palm.

And Beichen also subconsciously held Kato's hand.

After going through the whole process, he didn't feel anything wrong, but he always felt like he was being tricked.

"Beichen-kun, is it really okay to just eat these?"

Not knowing what Beichen was thinking about, Kato looked through the menu and asked uncertainly.

In fact, she wanted to book a famous kaiseki restaurant to treat Beichen to a meal at first.

But Beichen didn't seem to be interested in those things, so she had to give up the idea and chose to go to the Western restaurant with a good rating in this mall.

As a result, for various reasons, she forgot to check the time while shopping, resulting in a long queue at that restaurant.

So, Beichen suggested eating at this family restaurant with relatively small traffic.

This made Kato a little embarrassed, after all, this meal was to thank Beichen.

From the original high-end cuisine to the more civilian fast food, how could she not worry about poor hospitality?

"Don't worry, I'm not that interested in those things."

"I told you before, I rarely go to those places to eat."

"Compared to a quiet dining place, I prefer the roadside stalls, or noisy places like izakaya ramen restaurants."

"This is the breath of life."

Looking at the girl's slightly embarrassed eyes, Beichen comforted her.

"And you didn't just treat me to a meal." Beichen pointed to the shopping bag beside him, "Didn't you also buy me a few clothes?"

Hearing Beichen's words that didn't seem to be false, Kato was relieved and a little shy.

When she was shopping just now, in addition to buying clothes and accessories for herself, she also picked out a few clothes for Beichen.

And stopped Beichen from paying, and forcibly used her own pocket money to pack those clothes.

Now think about it, this behavior is quite like a couple in love.

It was just that Beichen didn't seem to notice the ambiguous parts inside, and his expression was still normal, which made her a little disappointed.

But the truth was that Beichen really didn't care.

After all, most of his clothes were not bought by himself.

Except before junior high school.

Since he came to Dongdu and met Yoel, his clothes were basically bought by him.

Later, he met Kuroneko, and he would send him some homemade or purchased clothes from time to time.

And now that Rem came, he even bought his pants.

So, in his opinion, Kato's behavior of buying clothes for him was nothing special.

What's more, he also paid for a few clothes for the girl.

Putting away the little emotions in his heart, Kato shook the menu in his hand and said to Beichen: "Then let's order!"

"Yeah." Beichen nodded in response, picked up the menu in front of him, and began to read it.

The dishes in this restaurant are relatively rich, with Western and Japanese food.

Beichen didn't bother to be polite to Kato, or if he was, the girl would feel uneasy.

So he ordered a lot of food in a row, including salad, pizza, hamburger steak, grilled fish, ramen, fried pork cutlet, etc., and finally ordered a dessert.

It seemed a lot, but in fact, with the size of each meal in the island country, plus Beichen's big appetite, all these things added up were not enough to fill his teeth.

But he just came here to accept the invitation, so he didn't care what to eat at all.

Since the family restaurant itself is a fast food restaurant, they didn't wait long before the table was filled with various plates.

"I'm starting!" Beichen mechanically muttered with his hands clasped together.

If he was eating at home, he would definitely not do this, at most he would say "eat."

But in front of Kato, he still had to pretend to take care of the other person's face.

After the opening remarks, the two picked up chopsticks and ate the food in front of them.

Beichen and Kato

Neither of them had the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping.

Therefore, during the meal, the two of them kept chatting and sharing the interesting things they knew.

In general, Beichen was very satisfied with the meal.

Time passed, and it was the end of the meal in a blink of an eye.

Kato looked at the two sushi on the plate and frowned.

Seeing this, Beichen was a little puzzled.

"Is there something wrong with the sushi?"

"No, I can't eat it anymore."

Shaking his head, Kato looked at the plate, showing a tangled look.

"Why, do you think it's a waste?"

"Yes, Beichen. But it feels a bit troublesome to pack it up."

"Then give it to me!"

"Eh? Is it really okay? Beichen won't dislike it..."

Hearing Beichen's words, Kato asked in a surprised tone.

"Hey! What's there to dislike about this." Beichen waved his hand indifferently, interrupting the girl's speech.

"Is that so~"

Kato nodded after thinking for a moment after tapping his lips.

"In that case, Beichen-kun should eat it while it's hot. Eel sushi won't taste good when it's cold~"

After the girl finished speaking, she naturally picked up the chopsticks beside her without waiting for Beichen's response, picked up the sushi, and stood up slightly.

With one hand holding it up, she handed the sushi to Beichen's mouth with the other hand.

Watching the girl's operation in amazement, Beichen's brain didn't turn around for a while, and he subconsciously stretched his neck and opened his mouth.

It wasn't until he tasted the sweetness of the eel in his mouth that he came back to his senses.

"My goodness, am I being fed by Saint Hui?"

Just when Beichen was a little stunned, Kato's soft voice came from the opposite side again.

"What's wrong, Beichen? I saw that your hands were all greasy and it was inconvenient to hold the chopsticks, so I fed you. I hope you don't mind."

"Also, I washed the chopsticks with clean water."

"Uh, nothing, I was just a little flattered by the beautiful girl who suddenly fed me."

Listening to the girl's explanation, Beichen didn't have time to taste it carefully. He swallowed the sushi in one gulp and praised the girl.

"No, beautiful girls are not related to me." As he said, Kato picked up the last piece of sushi and put it in front of Beichen, "Hey, Beichen, there is another piece here~"

Looking at the sushi handed over, Beichen was about to refute the other party's humble words, but he held it back and obediently opened his mouth to accept Kato's feeding.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Delicious."

Chewed the eel sushi in his mouth, Beichen gave Kato a thumbs up.

The continuous change of topic has made him give up thinking about whether Kato's behavior is reasonable, and instead savor the food in his mouth carefully.

He did not notice the cunning flash in the girl's moist eyes.
