Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

Around the campfire.

Qie Hui looked at the dim talisman in his hand, his eyes full of regret.

She is on the list for today's vigil.

Although she was not feeling well, the list had been finalized yesterday and she was too embarrassed to ask for a switch with others, so she forced herself to perform her duty as the night watchman.

Her partner is Hayasaka.

At Beichen's request, there must be two people on night watch, one selected from Beichen's team and the other selected from the first-year team.

Hayasaka went to patrol around the camp more than ten minutes ago, leaving her alone in the camp.

Out of boredom, she took out the talismans in her arms and began to examine them one by one.

When she discovered that the patterns on four of the talismans had turned gray, she couldn't help feeling distressed.

She knew that these four talismans were ineffective.

Qie Hui took out a lunch box from the small storage bag, carefully placed the talisman in it, then closed the lid and put it away.

'call--'

Cut back to taking a long breath.

Because the ineffective talisman looked very fragile, Qie Hui didn't even dare to breathe.

With his head lowered, Qie Hui looked at the remaining talismans in his hand.

Under the illumination of the orange-yellow flame, the patterns on the talisman flickered with a faint glow.

Extend your index finger and trace along the lines.

It was a combination of words and symbols she had never seen before.

Unconsciously, Qie Hui recalled the predicament he encountered during the previous exchange meeting.

When Busujima mentioned the precautions during menstruation, even without mentioning anything by name, Kirie knew that Busujima was reminding her.

But she was so embarrassed.

Fortunately, she was sitting in a corner and no one noticed her.

However, although she was extremely embarrassed, she was still very grateful to Busujima.

"Mr. Honjo."

Just as she was feeling emotional, a shout rang out.

'Alas--'

Caught off guard, Qie Hui was frightened and trembled all over. His fingers loosened and the talisman was thrown forward.

Just as he was about to fall into the bonfire, a white arm suddenly appeared and grabbed the talismans continuously, and all of them were taken into his hand.

"Here, my junior."

Kato glanced at the talisman inconspicuously and handed it to Kirie calmly.

"Thank...thank you, senior." After swallowing, Qihui thanked her with difficulty.

"Mr. Honjo, I'm sorry. I scared you just now."

Chitanda quickly came to Kirie, bowed slightly, and looked apologetic.

The people who came were Chitanda and Kato, they were here to take over the shift.

"No...it's okay."

Taking a step back, Qie Hui waved his hands quickly.

After getting a response, Chitanda straightened up and was about to ask about Hayasaka's whereabouts when she suddenly saw a familiar talisman in Kirie's hand.

With a slight exclamation, Chitanda asked in confusion:

"Nisan's talismans? How come my classmates have so many?"

"Eh?"

The audience was stunned.

"This... is this Senior Beichen's?"

"correct."

Chitanda nodded, pointed at the words on the talisman and said:

"Only Nissan can write this kind of characters. When I was a kid, I asked him where this character came from, and he said it was from another world."

"If I remember correctly, this should be a talisman that can make people run very fast."

Hearing this, Kirie's breathing quickened and her blood boiled. She completely forgot that she was a socially anxious person. She took a step forward, took out another talisman and handed it to Chitanda.

"What about this?"

“This is for restoring strength.”

Chitanda responded by kissing her lips.

'boom.'

Qie Hui's mind went blank and his eyes looked a little dull.

Chitanda was right. Although Busujima did not explain the function of the talisman to her, she did feel the two effects in the afternoon.

In other words, the talisman does not belong to Dudao, but to Beichen?

It was Beichen who discovered that she was having menstrual discomfort and offered to help, not Dudao?

"No, no, no, you can't think like that. Maybe Senior Beichen gave it to Senior Busujima before, and Senior didn't use it. After seeing that I was feeling uncomfortable, she remembered to give it to me."

"Yes, that's it!"

"It's impossible that Senior discovered my menstrual period!"

"That's impossible!"

Mikirie's face turned blue and red, and Chitanda couldn't help but ask worriedly:

"What's wrong? Honba-san."

"Nothing... nothing." Coming back to his senses, Qie Hui quickly shook his head.

"Oh."

Kirie didn't want to say anything, and Chitanda didn't ask any more questions. She looked around and asked:

"Where's Hayasaka-senpai?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hayasaka appeared beside the three of them.

"Kato-san, Chitanda-san. You're here early." Hayasaka said.

"I woke up early and it happened naturally." Kato explained.

"So, we're changing shifts now?"

"Well, you guys should go back and rest early."

"it is good."

Without any polite words, after a simple handover, Hayasaka and Kirie walked towards their tent.

Because of the night watch mission, the two of them lived together today.

The same goes for Chitanda and Kato.

He crawled into the sleeping bag in a daze, with his eyes wide open, showing no signs of falling asleep at all.

There was no way. When she thought that the talisman might have been given to her by Beichen at the instruction of Du Dao, she always felt as if her whole body was crawling with ants and was itchy and unbearable.

It’s not that she hates Beichen, she is so grateful to him that she can’t express it enough!

This is the main thing ~ it’s so embarrassing!

……

The next day, Kirie woke up from her sleep.

In the early hours of the morning, she couldn't stand the fatigue anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

After a simple tidying up, Qie Hui walked out of the tent with two faint dark circles under his eyes.

As soon as she went out, she saw the boy who had tormented her for most of the night.

"Hey! Good morning, my junior classmate!"

The morning sunlight shone on Beichen's smiling face, as if it had covered him with a golden veil.

Qie's eyelids twitched, and a strange feeling came over him.

Although she was also nervous and shy, Qie Hui always had a strange sense of urgency that urged her to stay away from Beichen.

"morning……"

After stammering a response, Qihui immediately turned around and hurriedly left the spot, swinging her stiff limbs like a rusty robot.

Qie Hui felt relieved when she felt Beichen's gaze shifted away from her.

"What's the matter with this child?"

Beichen muttered in confusion, turned his head to look at Kato, pointed at his face and asked:

"Xiao Hui, is there something on my face?"

"No."

Looking at the handsome face close to him, Kato felt his heartbeat speed up, but it was not visible on his face, and his voice remained calm.

"Then why do I always feel that her eyes look weird?"

Hearing this, Kato did not respond immediately.

She noticed Qihui's strange behavior last night. Combining her condition and her performance at the Busujima exchange meeting, she could roughly guess something.

Although I'm not sure, it doesn't matter anyway.

Things are not important;

People don’t need to be important.

Raising his hand as if nothing had happened, Kato straightened Beichen's wrinkled collar and said:

"Don't think too much. I'm a shy person. Maybe I was frightened by your enthusiasm just now."

Feeling the girl's warm fingertips sliding on his neck, Beichen narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"Indeed, these days, you shouldn't try to guess what a girl is thinking."
