Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

As Kitagawa watched the man walking towards him step by step, his heart was dead silent.

He tightened his arms around Nanami, and when he felt the girl's breath disappear, he gave a helpless smile.

"Nanaha, walk slowly, I'll be with you soon~"

Murmuring softly, Kitagawa quietly reached into his pocket, where a utility knife was hidden.

She picked it up when she went under the cash register.

When the man separated her and Nanami, she would take action and stab herself in the neck, thus bankrupting his evil intentions. This would be her last resistance as a weak person.

Thinking of this, Kitagawa looked at Nanami again, as if he wanted to imprint the girl's face in his soul so that he could find her on the road to reincarnation.

The world seemed to be quiet at this moment.

All that was left was the sound of the soles of his shoes making contact with the debris on the ground and the man's increasingly rapid breathing.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Kitagawa seemed to hear a dynamic music coming from a distance.

Pretty rhythmic?

Kitagawa thought he must have had a brain seizure, otherwise why would he have auditory hallucinations.

But as the music gradually became louder and the ugly guy who was walking towards him stopped, Kitagawa realized.

This is not hallucination! Someone really came!

And he is very likely a strong one.

After all, anyone who can survive until now and still be so flamboyant must be a very powerful person.

The hope of survival was rekindled. Kitagawa took advantage of the man's gaze outside the store and when he didn't notice him, he shouted at the top of his voice:

“Help! Help!!! Ahhhhhhhh~~~”

The voice was loud, louder than Kitagawa's loudest voice in his life.

She believed that even with the sound of music, people who came would definitely be able to hear her voice.

Glancing at the screaming girl, the man looked towards the entrance of the passage which was gradually illuminated by lights of various colors, and his expression began to change.

He is not stupid either.

As a level 2 transcendent, he lives like a dog in this maze. How can he have the leisure to listen to music? Doesn’t he think his death is not fast enough?

Moreover, judging by the sound of footsteps he knew clearly that there were only two people.

These two people dare to be so arrogant, they must be much stronger than him.

The wisest thing to do now is to kill the girl and leave quickly.

But when I thought about how he had wasted so much time playing cat and mouse with them, and how he had been corroded into this state by the slug's acid.

Even if these injuries can be healed by medical treatment later, I still can’t accept it!

He wanted to toy with Kitagawa to death! Only then could he relieve his hatred!

"Most of the extraordinary people who were involved are from the patrol team, and the captain of the patrol team is only level 3..."

“Damn! Let’s fight!”

The man gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. He felt that his luck shouldn't be so bad as to encounter a wild level 4 expert.

Therefore, he planned to launch a sneak attack when the newcomer just stepped into the cave.

In his opinion, even if one has relatively strong abilities, playing music in an unknown maze is undoubtedly arrogant.

His sneak attack still had a high chance of success. If he took his full-strength attack, even if he couldn't kill him, he would at least be seriously injured.

This creates an opportunity for negotiation.

No matter if they are not related or not, no one with a strong sense of justice would insist on protecting Kitagawa.

If that doesn't work, he can also take advantage of the opponent's defensive gap, turn back and capture Kitagawa as a hostage.

Having made up his mind, the man no longer hesitated, took out his tactical dagger, turned to the cave entrance, bent his body slightly and began to accumulate strength.

……

On the other side, inside the passage.

Beichen walked in front, carrying Juque and shaking his head, while Rem followed behind with a blank expression, shaking the flashlights of various colors in his hands from time to time, just like a disco scene.

Yes, the arrogant person in the man’s eyes is Beichen.

In fact, they were not like this more than an hour ago. At that time they were still on their way normally.

But the maze was too boring for them.

The monster's head was smashed by Juque as soon as it appeared, and the trap was destroyed by Beichen's kick as soon as it was triggered. There was really no gaming experience.

After the initial excitement wore off, Beichen quickly lost interest in the maze and began to feel bored.

After sensing Beichen's emotional changes, Rem suggested that Beichen play some music to relieve the boredom.

She had seen Beichen play videos and music on his mobile phone, and after spending half a day there, she had finally figured out that this maze was like playing house to Beichen.

It's normal to be bored.

But soon, she regretted it.

After listening to her advice, Beichen suddenly became excited again.

He was also mumbling things like 'It's not a zombie, but it can be a monster', 'When the side song starts playing, all the monsters will leave', and 'The rain is still falling, even the monsters will get scared' and other difficult to understand words.

Then I took out my phone and played the song that I have been playing on repeat till now——

"The sound of raindrops has been falling outside the window for three days and three nights."

"It's like you, my beloved, didn't answer the phone for three days and three nights."

"Is this love gone just like that? Is this your answer?"

"I don't mind if you fall in love with him."

"I'm just worried about whether you are doing well~"

"..."

Unlike the music she had heard before, this song had a strong sense of rhythm, which made people want to do something, such as shaking their necks...

But as a lady, Rem believed that she would not do such impolite behavior.

However, after hearing this song, Beichen seemed to have regained the state he was in when he first entered the maze and became excited.

He didn't even use the sword-controlling style to chop down the monsters. Instead, he rushed directly into the group of monsters and used the Juque to cut their heads off again and again.

It is open and closed, full of violent aesthetics.

Although it is very entertaining, Rem is somewhat tired of listening to the same song on repeat.

"Beichen Jun, don't you think that this song is out of place with the environment we are in now?"

"Of course, I'm not saying that this song is bad, I mean, this song is not very suitable for the current scene."

"After all, you are killing monsters, and it's not raining here, you see..."

Looking at Beichen in front of him who was still shaking his head and occasionally stopping to sway a few times, Rem finally couldn't help it. He opened his little mouth and tactfully expressed the idea of ​​changing the song.

But before she could finish the words "Do you want to change the song?", she was interrupted by a muffled "bang".

Then a small rain of blood and flesh began to fall before my eyes.

"Hey, look, it's raining!" Beichen teased.

"..."

Looking at the strange man who had lost his legs and was lying on the ground in a daze.

Rem held it in for a long time, but in the end said nothing. He just looked at Beichen with disdain, who seemed to be gloating, and then walked around the man and headed towards the lingerie store without saying a word.

Just before approaching the cave, Beichen described the general situation here. The victims were two girls, one dead and one still alive.

She was already upset with the man for bullying the weak, but now he took the initiative to come to her house to bring "rain" to Beichen.

Isn't this a slap in Rem's face?

If her meteor hammer hadn't been broken on the island before, she would have taken out the meteor hammer and beat him up...
