Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

Beichen's words made Cato, who was confused, instantly misunderstand his meaning, and his expression began to become obscene.

"Hey, next time Lelei comes back, can you invite her to come with you?"

"I have no other intentions. I just want to see what kind of person Lelai's new master is and whether he is good to her. I have absolutely no other intentions."

Glancing at the old man in front of him, Beichen said with a playful look on his face:

"Are you sure? Don't say I didn't warn you. With that person's magical ability, he only needs to raise his hand and you will be gone. Maybe not even a trace of you will be left."

"Ahem, so that's it~" After a few violent coughs, Cato shook his head frantically, "Forget it. I prefer a gentle older sister."

Putting aside his thoughts, Gato raised his hand and pointed at the donkey cart beside him, and said to Beichen:

"Most of the important books in my collection are here. A small number are hidden in the basement of my residence. I will give them to you when I return."

"Row."

Beichen nodded and waved his hand, and all the books on the donkey cart were suddenly cleared.

"Large magic storage bag?" Lelai asked curiously.

Being in a fantasy world, she naturally knew about magic storage bags.

But this thing is very expensive, she and her master can't afford it, the most they can buy is a small storage bag.

The space is limited and can only hold some important small items.

"Yeah." Beichen nodded without further explanation.

Gato, who was standing by, couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw the donkey cart with only daily necessities left.

He had poured most of his life's work into those books, but now they had suddenly become someone else's property and had nothing to do with him anymore. It was normal for him to feel reluctant to part with them.

But he also knew that it was worth using these books to help his apprentices gain a bright future.

Anyway, these books will be passed on to Lelei after he dies, so now it can be considered as an advance delivery.

Thinking of this, Cato quickly adjusted his mood, lowered the brim of his hat, stopped staring at the donkey cart, and said to Beichen as if entrusting him to a good friend:

“Don’t bury them.”

"Don't worry, Leilai's future master will definitely study day and night and gain something from it." Beichen responded.

"That's good. Also, if one day you don't need them anymore, I hope you can pass these originals to Lelei."

"no problem."

Beichen agreed to this small request reluctantly.

Seeing that Beichen's expression did not seem fake, Cato finally felt relieved.

As they were talking, a black and red figure appeared behind them.

'Boom. '

The sound of an axe handle hitting the ground was heard, followed by a lazy and queenly voice.

"Ah~ It's really surprising that the strong man who successfully defeated the Flame Dragon is actually a young man~"

Beichen looked back and, as expected, the person who came was one of the heroines, Loli Mercury.

As the name suggests, she is a loli.

Since he was chosen as the apostle of the God of Death and War at the age of 13, his physical age was frozen at 13, and his actual age is close to one thousand.

She was wearing red boots and a black and red Gothic priest uniform, with black suspender stockings wrapping her slender legs.

She wore a large fox ear headdress, bangs, a princess cut, and her long black hair fell like a waterfall on her back.

There is always a meaningful smile on his face.

If it weren't for the huge and sharp axe in her hand, Yanran would just be a cute loli.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing that the person coming was a loli, Gato and Lelai bowed their heads slightly to show respect.

Although they are not believers, they still maintain the most basic etiquette towards the priests.

"Hey~ Master Cato, I didn't expect to meet you here. The girl next to you should be your disciple."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"So this guy is your friend?"

"No, this is... Hey, boy, I don't know your name yet."

Halfway through his words, Cato suddenly got stuck. He then remembered that he had not yet asked Beichen's name.

"Xiao Beichen, just call me Beichen." Beichen replied.

"Beichen, is his name Beichen..." Lelai muttered silently in her heart.

"Hey~ Bei~chen~ na."

With her index finger placed at the corner of her mouth, Loli's voice was teasing, and her eyes were full of curiosity as she looked at Beichen.

She looked innocent, but it made Beichen's scalp tingle.

Beichen feels that Loli is a combination of several people around her.

Dressed similarly to Black Cat;

Kurumi's mature voice and seductive demeanor;

And what is most troubling to Beichen is his curiosity, which is similar to Chitanda's.

He was now afraid that the loli would suddenly say "I'm curious".

That picture, wow.

Thinking of this, Beichen changed the subject with a slightly stiff expression and asked:

"Are you the sub-god of this world?"

"This world?" The loli paused her teasing movements.

"Beichen is the one on the other side of the door." Leilai added.

"Oh~ This is really interesting~" The curiosity in Loli's eyes became more and more intense. She took a step forward, stretched her neck and looked around at Beichen.

"..."

The light in the loli's eyes not only did not go out, but became even brighter because of Lelei's words.

Beichen took a half step back without leaving a trace.

Influenced by Chitanda, he is a little afraid of people who are very curious.

Fortunately, his discomfort did not last long, as a figure appeared beside him.

"team leader."

Landing next to Beichen, Kaguya frowned and looked at the loli with a wary look.

Just now she saw this little devil approaching Beichen from a distance, how shameless she was.

So she used her special power to speed up instantly, left the team and came to Beichen, trying to stop this behavior.

After feeling the hostility in Kaguya's eyes, Loli didn't care. Instead, the smile on her face became even brighter. Her ruby-like eyes glanced back and forth between Beichen and Kaguya.

Beichen, who was standing by, also noticed that Kaguya was quite hostile towards Loli.

But he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Kaguya judged Loli as a threat because her big axe was too conspicuous.

But it’s also good this way, Kaguya’s arrival really helped him, giving him a chance to stay away from this new curious baby.

Happy, Beichen raised his hand and put it on Kaguya's shoulder.

"Alas--"

Kaguya, who was originally concentrating on staring at the loli, was suddenly shocked when she felt the warmth coming from her shoulder.

"Ok?"

Beichen didn't expect Kaguya to react so strongly. He immediately withdrew his hand and coughed lightly in embarrassment.

"Ahem, sorry Shinomiya, I tapped your shoulder without your consent. I wanted to tell you that you don't need to be so defensive. Loli is not our enemy."

"No, Captain, you don't need to apologize. I was just thinking about something and was frightened by your actions."

Patting her chest, Kaguya pretended to be relieved.

"That's good, I thought you were rejecting me."

"How could that be?" Kaguya chuckled.

"Damn it, Kaguya, what are you doing! What if you scare Akatsuki-kun?"

"but……"

"Akira-kun, who is at a loss, is really cute~"
