Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

"Give me back the mask."

After 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 so mean. He actually treated me like this. After all, she is a beautiful girl!"

"You do look a bit like a pretty girl." Beichen tapped the desktop and complained, "Look at your reaction just now. How can you look like a pretty girl?"

Sagiri had no way of refutation. She opened and closed her mouth for a long time, and finally turned her head away and mumbled softly.

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

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

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

His lively personality also calmed down and he began to remain silent, chewing the food in his mouth.

The living room was silent for a moment, with only the sound of dishes colliding.

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

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

Then he patted his stomach, stood up and prepared to go upstairs.

However, just after taking a step, she stopped and looked at Beichen with some expectation.

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

Although he did not become an illustrator for Izumi Masamune.

But out of persistence in her childhood promise and also out of the desire to divert her attention, Sagiri did not stop drawing during the two years she spent in the orphanage.

With no money to buy a computer or a drawing tablet, she chose to create purely by hand.

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

She originally planned to wait until she came of age and was released from the orphanage, and use these things to write for publishing houses to make a living.

Now Beichen came in and took her out of the orphanage.

She naturally intended to implement her plan ahead of time.

Whether it is to make a living or not to add burden to Beichen, she needs a source of income.

"Bring it back."

Beichen took out a thick stack of A4 papers from the storage ring and handed them to Sagiri.

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

After taking the drawings, Sagiri quickly counted them.

After finding that nothing was missing, he was immediately overjoyed and rubbed his face against the paper like a pervert.

"Ah~ My wives, guhehe~"

Seeing the cuteness of the girl, Beichen also became happy and said in a gentle voice:

"Since you like painting, then keep painting."

"I'll have someone deliver a batch of computer equipment later. Remember to go downstairs and choose one."

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

She never expected that Beichen would be so supportive of her hobbies.

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

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Beichen blushed at the girl's bluntness and immediately stiffened his neck to excuse himself:

"Don't talk nonsense. We usually have to go to school. I prepared this for you out of fear that you would be bored at home."

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

"What kind of pornographic picture? That's clearly art!"

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

It was the first time she heard someone praise her, apart from her mother and childhood believers.

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

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

"Where is art~ Sister, when did such shameless pictures become art?"

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

Ram, who was standing by, couldn't help but gloat over his sister's misfortune after seeing her frosty face:

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

"Eh? Really? Beichenjun thinks so too?"

"I……"

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

"If I remember correctly, Ms. 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 bug-like gaze, made Beichen not know how to answer for a moment.

Instead, Sagiri at the side suddenly raised her hand, attracting everyone's attention.

"I know this problem!"

"There is no rule in the island country 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 stagnated, and he stared blankly at the silly and cute girl.

Is she concerned about the erotic pictures? She is concerned about Beichen's attitude!

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

"Ok?"

Unfortunately, as soon as he opened his mouth, Rem glared back at him with his deep blue eyes.

……

Happy times are always so short, and it’s already Monday in the blink of an eye.

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

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

She crossed her legs, with the back of her left hand resting on her right cheek, revealing the three-part smile of the queen of the two-dimensional world.

"Kukuku~ My beloved~ 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 walked over to sit opposite the black cat.

The person who came was the black cat.

Her real name is Gokuru Ruri, and she comes from the famous orthopedic anime "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute!"

His online name is Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat, or simply Black Cat. He is a gaming expert and a senior chuunibyou patient.

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

Three years ago, when Beichen was out as a gangster, he happened to encounter a black cat being chased by a mysterious person.

Because the other party was wearing the iconic cosplay costume at the time, Beichen quickly recognized the other party's identity and rescued him.

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

There was no choice but Beichen agreed.

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

After learning that the other party's ability was 'dexterity', he took out a bunch of materials and asked the other party to make him a set of Akatsuki uniform as a reward.

Naturally, Black Cat would not refuse this.

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

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

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