Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

On the morning of April 2024, 4, in the bathroom on the third floor of a villa in the northern district of Dongdu, an island country.

Beichen took a towel and wiped the water droplets off his face.

As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, there would naturally be no filth on his body, and he did not need to obtain energy through eating.

But for psychological reasons, he still maintains the habits of an ordinary person.

After getting dressed, I went to the first floor.

Beichen looked around the simply decorated restaurant and did not see Ram. There was only a blue figure standing behind the main seat with his hands folded on his abdomen and eyes closed.

Sensing the movement, Rem opened his eyes and bowed slightly towards Beichen:

"Master Beichen, my sister is still feeling a little unwell and has gone back to her room to rest. Please forgive me."

Walking to the main seat and sitting down, Beichen waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care.

He was quite pleased with their diligence.

I told them clearly yesterday.

This villa is surrounded by several large formations and requires neither guards nor cleaning.

They don't need to waste their time on maid work. It would be better to use that time to practice hard, improve their combat effectiveness, and help him in the future.

Now it seems that they did not listen to his words and still insisted on repaying him in these ways.

In their own words, they work as maids to pay the rent.

In that case, there's no need for him to be pretentious and he can just accept it openly.

But now they have just recovered from a serious illness and still need more rest.

Thinking of this, Beichen turned his head and said to Rem:

"Rem, you should go back too! Even if your external injuries have healed, you still need to rest more."

Hearing this, Rem showed no sign of moving, but just lowered his head slightly:

"Thank you for your concern. I am fine and I am recovering well. You don't need to worry about me."

"Okay, don't force yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, go back to your room and rest. There will be plenty of time in the future anyway. There's no need to worry about one or two days."

"I'm not forcing you, Master Beichen. It's a maid's duty to serve the master at meals. If you can't even do this, it would be a great dereliction of duty."

Seeing the girl's determined face, Beichen stopped persuading her and picked up the cutlet from the plate and put it into his mouth.

While chewing, he asked, "What's going on with your sister? She was fine before."

"My sister..." When mentioning his sister, Rem's expression was a little gloomy.

"You should also know that my sister...she can't absorb magic power. In this battle, my sister overdrew too much..."

The girl's voice became smaller and smaller, and pain and self-blame were revealed in her deep blue eyes.

If it weren't for the experience on the Four Grasshopper Island, Rem would not have known that after her sister's horn was broken off, not only was she unable to actively absorb magic power, but the magic power in her body was also constantly lost.

I just thought that my sister would be more vulnerable to weakness after losing her horns.

Now that she knew the actual situation, it undoubtedly intensified the guilt in her heart.

Beichen said "Oh" and then he remembered that he didn't replenish Ram's magic today.

Although they are called differently, the essence of various magical elements and auras of various attributes are the same.

It's all pure energy.

Beichen usually absorbs attributeless spiritual energy to practice, and the spiritual power formed in his body is also attributeless spiritual power.

The non-attribute is also known as the chaos attribute.

It is one and it is also ten thousand.

It can mimic and transform into various spiritual/magic powers.

Coupled with Beichen's superb control ability, it's just a piece of cake to replenish magic.

Just when he brought them back the day before yesterday, Beichen used a clarity spell on Ram.

After a while, her body was filled with spiritual energy.

However, perhaps due to severe injuries and overdrawn physical strength in battle, her mana bar has dropped quite quickly in the past two days, and needs to be replenished every once in a while.

When Beichen thought of the scene when he was replenishing Ram's magic, his expression suddenly became strange.

After all, replenishing magic is not something suitable for children.

Even the way to replenish Ram's magic is simply to inject her with spiritual power.

Rem didn't know what Beichen was thinking. After seeing the strange expression on his face, he couldn't help but ask with some concern:

"Master Beichen, what's wrong with you? Is the food not to your taste?"

"No, the food is very much to my liking. You did a great job."

Beichen quickly picked up the remaining steak on the plate and put it into his mouth, then gave Rem a thumbs up.

Rem was obviously relieved to receive Beichen's affirmation.

"It's good if you like it."

Seeing Rem's fear of making a mistake, Beichen joked:

"Be more confident. You're doing great. There's no need to be so restrained."

"Just now in the bedroom, you were very brave and dared to mock me."

"That's different. At that time, my sister was..."

"Why, Liang... did Ounei-chan give you the courage?"

"Hey! As long as my sister is here... Rem will feel at ease as long as my sister is here." Rem responded seriously.

At the same time, a hint of fear flashed deep in her eyes.

She was really scared this time!

Almost! Almost! My sister was going to die in front of me.

On Sigua Island, she tried her best to get her sister to a safe area.

The result was that her sister was put in an even more dangerous situation.

She is still so useless!

It was just like when I saw my sister falling in front of me, and I was not only scared to the point of being unable to move, but I even had such despicable thoughts.

"Rem is weak and has no talent. He is the weakest among the ghosts."

"So no matter what you do, you are not as good as your sister. Rem is your sister's substitute."

"And it's several levels of inferior quality."

Looking at Rem, who started to complain about himself for no apparent reason, Xiao Beichen was full of questions.

"Eh, no, why are you suddenly emo?"

"Will you let me eat properly?"

Although he wanted to complain, Beichen still picked up the tissue, turned around, and looked at Rem who was becoming more and more frustrated.

"Why wasn't Rem's horn broken?"

"Why was it my sister's horn that was broken?"

"Why was my sister born with only one horn?"

"Why are my sister and Rem twins?"

"really……"

"Rem...Rem shouldn't have existed in the first place!"

As her words fell, an indescribable sadness filled the air.

Realizing that tears were falling uncontrollably from her eyes, Rem quickly lowered her head and tried to wipe away the tears with the back of her hand.

Just at this moment, a tissue appeared in her blurred vision. Rem took the tissue in a panic, wiped it quickly a few times, then raised his head and looked at Beichen with an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry for saying such strange things and showing such an ugly behavior in front of you. This is my fault. Please forget it."

Hearing this, Beichen waved his hand.

"Then you may be disappointed. I will never forget what you said."

"Eh?"

"You forgot, I've seen your movie."

"I've heard these words of yours countless times before. They sound so familiar to me!"

Watching the girl's expression change from sadness to confusion, then to astonishment, and finally to a flushed face, Beichen suddenly felt a sense of evil amusement.

He stood up in a flash, leaned over to look at Rem, then said in a mean way:

"Are you embarrassed? Or angry? Do you really want to hit me?"

"Well~ Lord Beichen is so self-aware, which really makes Rem feel relieved."

"After all, taking care of a fool who has no self-awareness will undoubtedly make my sister's work more difficult."

Seeing the girl return to her expressionless state and even make fun of him, Beichen laughed.

Then he raised his arm and placed his hand on Rem's head.

The heat coming from above her head made Rem's body tremble slightly.

But she did not dodge, she just raised her head and looked at Beichen.

Stroking the girl's slightly cool hair and smelling the fragrance coming from her body, Beichen spoke slowly:

"Be more confident, Rem-chan. To be honest, if it weren't for you, Ram would have died at the hands of those monsters a long time ago."

"No, Master Beichen!"

"If Rem hadn't been there, the sister with two horns would have been able to adapt quickly even if she fell into another world."

"And those monsters will become vulnerable in front of my sister."

Seeing Rem trying hard to protect his sister, Beichen curled his lips and withdrew his hand.

"You think too much!"

"When I brought you back before, I checked your bodies..."

"Well?"

When Rem heard about the physical examination, he subconsciously raised his hand to cover his chest.

……

ps1: In the original work, Rem didn't seem to know about Ram's survival status after his horn was cut off. In any case, it is assumed here that she doesn't know

ps2: According to the information I have found so far, the reason why Mule can replenish Ram's magic power is not because of the contract. It is just a verbal contract with no actual benefits. He can replenish Ram's magic power because he is powerful, has protection, is proficient in six kinds of magic, and has first-class control over magic power. After all, replenishing magic power is a "delicate" job, and ordinary people can't do it.
