Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

Since we are in the wild mountains, frogs, which are creatures at the bottom of the food chain, have many natural enemies.

The deformed frog population may be able to become the local overlord by virtue of its numerical advantage, but those deformed frogs that are scattered and alone are not like that.

They will hardly see tomorrow's sun.

Even if you survive, you won't be able to make any waves in the short term.

Beichen and others’ mission is to clear no less than 80% of the deformed frogs.

Judging from the situation just now, it is no problem to say that 90% of the area has been cleared, so Beichen announced that the mission was completed.

As for the remaining deformed frogs that were wandering around, there was no requirement to deal with them.

Not only Beichen didn't bother to care, the other teams were the same.

"I know." Yukinoshita nodded.

"then you……"

"Just because it's unlikely doesn't mean it's impossible. I think we should rule out this uncertainty in advance."

"At least in the future, no innocent civilians will be hurt due to our negligence."

Looking at Yukinoshita's serious expression, Beichen touched his chin.

You can call her stubborn or serious, but Yukinoshita just wants to do her best and have a clear conscience.

This was also the reason why she was excluded by other teams before.

After all, most people just want to get by.

The reward is the same anyway, so why bother with thankless work when you can just be lazy?

Without directly agreeing or refusing, Beichen turned his head and looked at Kaguya.

"Shigong, what do you think?"

"I don't think it's necessary." Kaguya said.

Although she strives for perfection in everything she does, what she cares about are the things that can bring her real benefits.

Obviously, campus missions are not included.

So Kaguya only wanted to complete the mission. Doing the mission perfectly and clearing out the remnants was a waste of time.

Time is money. The second young lady doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until she runs a household.

She was still thinking about finishing the matter and then going back to do other things.

"What if someone gets hurt in the future?" Yukinoshita asked.

Facing her question, Kaguya responded expressionlessly:

"The frogs regenerate every year and harass downstream residents every year. This is inevitable."

Originally she wanted to say, "What does the life and death of those fools have to do with me?"

But considering that the girls present were kind-hearted, her words might easily cause disgust among others, which would be detrimental to future management.

"But we can't just ignore it because we're used to it!"

"It takes energy to care, Team Member Yukinoshita." Kaguya slowly explained, "It's 1 a.m. now. If we go back now, we can still have a light sleep."

"But in the face of a cleanup operation that will take an unknown amount of time and have unknown results, we may spend more time and energy."

"You can pay for your own care, but what about others?"

Hearing Kaguya's words, Yukinoshita choked.

"I...I can do it myself. I don't need you to help me."

"Even so, we still need to wait for you, don't we?"

The proposal was rejected again. Yukinoshita opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but nothing came out.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"I can, I'm sleeping anyway~"

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Fennel, who was lying on Hayasaka's back, suddenly muttered something in a daze.

"Pfft~"

Beichen was momentarily unable to hold back his laughter.

The tense atmosphere on the field disappeared immediately after being interrupted by the two people.

"Haha, since you hold different opinions, then ask others what they think."

As he spoke, Beichen looked towards Dudao, who was now holding a katana and standing quietly behind everyone.

The pure black scabbard was deeply sunken in the groove, and the high ponytail swayed back and forth because of the head shaking.

"I don't care." Busujima responded.

After getting a response, Beichen looked at Kato.

"What about you, Xiaohui?"

"I can."

"What about you, Hayasaka?"

"I listen to the young lady."

"..."

There were only six people, but they were divided into three factions.

A poisonous island of spectators that is independent of the team.

A friendly trio consisting of Kato, Yukinoshita, and Anise.

The steadfast master-servant duo Kaguya and Hayasaka.

Beichen had anticipated this situation.

So he spread his hands and said to Kaguya:

"Look, the situation is here, what are you going to do?"

It's not about shirking responsibility.

After all, he is only the temporary leader of the team. It will be Kaguya who will lead the team forward in the future, so what he needs to do is more of a guidance.

Guide Kaguya to consider other people's thoughts more.

Sure enough, after learning that others were not opposed to the cleanup operation, Kaguya thought for a moment and, based on the idea that if it couldn't be avoided, it had to be dealt with quickly, she came up with a compromise plan.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's proceed. But in order to improve efficiency, we will proceed in groups."

"Dushima, thank you for acting alone."

"Yukinoshita, Kato, you two are a team."

"I'm in a team with Hayasaka."

"The clearing range is 20 kilometers around, and the duration is one hour. After one hour, we will meet up with the captain."

"Any objections?"

“No”*4

Seeing that no one had any objection, Kaguya nodded in satisfaction and looked towards Beichen.

"Captain, please take care of Fennel."

"Okay." Beichen nodded in agreement.

Then he untied the Juque behind him and asked Hayasaka to put the fennel on the sword.

Once everything was arranged, everyone dispersed and began chasing the fleeing deformed frog.

Withdrawing his gaze, Beichen quietly stared at Fennel lying on the surface of the Juque sword.

The girl's sleeping face is particularly pretty, and her moist lips sparkle with crystal clear light under the moonlight.

After admiring it for a while, Beichen took out a soft quilt and pillow from the storage ring, and after some work, he made a temporary bed for Fennel on the Juque.

Feeling the warmth coming from the bedding, Fennel unconsciously arched the pillow in her sleep, like a kitten looking for sleep in a warm nest.

"Thank you, Captain~"

Hearing Fennel's soft voice of thanks, Beichen's mouth unconsciously raised a smile.

Although it is said that you can maintain an army for a thousand days and use it for a moment.

But he had never thought of using Juque as a bed before.

The reason why he made Juque look like a door panel was, on the one hand, to show off, and on the other hand, to consider the safety of traffic.

That’s right, it’s safe passage.

Even though he could steer a sword of normal width to fly, the sword blade that was less than three feet wide always gave him a feeling of being unsteady and unsafe.

He felt that he might be possessed by Ba Song.

Of course, Beichen never thought of adding a guardrail to the flying sword, as that would be too ugly.

He simply widened the blade of the sword.

And strictly speaking, he is a knife cultivator, not a sword cultivator.

Although flying with a sword is possible, and if one's cultivation is high enough, flying with a woman is also possible. After all, once a fellow Taoist was caught cheating by his Taoist partner, he flew away with the mistress.

But cultivating immortality!

It wouldn’t be interesting without the sword.
