Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

"Oi~ Beautiful girl, are you alone? Want a ride?"

Like a gangster striking up a conversation, Beichen rolled down the car window and greeted Kato, who was in a daze.

Hearing the noise, Kato's eyes gradually regained focus. When he looked up, he saw Beichen's smiling face.

When he saw Beichen, the gloom that had been accumulating in Kato's heart since yesterday was instantly swept away.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his whole body seemed to be activated, radiating infinite softness.

"Good morning, Chen."

"Good morning, Xiaohui, hurry up and get in the car!"

"Ah."

Kato nodded, opened the car door and got in. After greeting everyone, he found a seat to sit down.

Beichen naturally noticed the sadness between the girl's brows, but considering that there were many people on the bus, he simply did not ask.

After signaling Fiona to drive, he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.

As usual, the car stopped in front of the school and Beichen and the girls got out one after another.

"Isn't that the dragon-slaying warrior Beichen Jun?"

"What dragon slayer? That's not cool at all. It's called the Violent Flame Dragon Terminator."

"Wow~senpai is so handsome!"

"Senior! Senior Beichen! Please sign an autograph for me!"

"..."

When people noticed Beichen and his group, the already bustling school gate suddenly became lively.

As many students returned from the other world, some students who could not suppress their desire to share had already begun calling their friends and vividly describing what they had seen in the other world.

Beichen’s amazing deeds will be mentioned more or less.

"Speaking of which, Beichen-kun's killing of the dragon means that he has the combat power of a level 10 transcendent?"

"Nonsense, do you think it's the red dragon that destroyed the Korean country? Beichen once said that the dragon from another world was only close to level 8."

"That's amazing, isn't it? You are worthy of being Master Zero's disciple. You are only a Level 6 Transcendent, but you can kill a giant dragon by surpassing your level."

"..."

Along the way, the crowd was talking and greeting Beichen constantly, as if they were back to the beginning of the school year.

"You're really worthy of being the one who attracts the crowd wherever you go." Kato joked.

"Well~ sometimes being too popular can also be a problem." Beichen shook his head pretending to be distressed.

That smug attitude made Qiong frown.

"Humph!"

Qiong didn't want Beichen to be popular, especially with the many beautiful girls around him looking at him with eyes that seemed to want to eat Beichen up.

This made her feel very insecure.

I couldn't help but hug Tibers tightly in my arms.

Tibbers, a stuffed bear that looks somewhat similar to the little bear in Annie's arms.

It was the war spirit possession medium prepared by Beichen for the girl before he entered the other world. It replaced the original white rabbit and became Qiong's new companion.

Sensing his master's uneasiness, Tibers seemed to want to comfort the girl, and a faint energy gradually emerged from his body.

It seems like he is going to jump out and sit on these Beichen fans to death.

At this moment, a big hand grasped the girl's soft wrist.

"Sorry, I forgot you're shy."

Beichen's voice came to her ears, Qiong raised her head, and saw Beichen's eyes full of apology and worry.

A warm current suddenly surged through my body.

"Humph! I'm not shy!"

Her ears felt a little hot, and Qiong quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at Beichen.

"Yes, yes, yes! I said the wrong thing."

Beichen apologized again, pulling the girl behind him to block most of the fanatical sight.

He also suddenly remembered that Qiong was rather shy.

There's no way around it. Normally, those who follow him around basically don't care about the attention of irrelevant people.

Looking at Beichen's back, the girl's dark brown eyes were filled with confusion, and it took her a while to react.

"Hmph! Like a peacock spreading its tail!" Qiong muttered in dissatisfaction.

"...How could you say that about your brother?"

"You are!"

"Alright." Beichen smacked his lips and stopped refutation. Instead, he consoled her: "Don't worry, it's just today. Everyone just wants to have some fun. It won't happen again in the future."

As he said that, Beichen was about to let go of the girl's hand, but the girl held it tightly again.

He turned his head and looked at the girl in surprise.

Noticing Beichen's gaze, Qiong turned her head away in panic and said in embarrassment:

"What are you looking at? Lead the way! We need to go back to the classroom!"

"hey-hey."

With a strange laugh, Beichen turned around and continued forward, but he held Qiong's hand a little tighter.

……

The group separated in front of the classroom.

After Beichen entered the classroom, he attracted everyone's attention again.

After finally sending away those people who came to join in the fun, Beichen sat down on a chair.

"Chen, have some ice tea!"

Kato at the front table handed over a pink cup lid at the right time.

"Hello again, Xiaohui."

With a compliment, Beichen took the cup lid and drank the tea inside.

Seeing Beichen finished drinking, Kato raised the thermos cup.

"Any more?"

"No."

Handing the cup lid back, Beichen waved his hand.

"it is good."

Kato took the cup lid, screwed it on, and put the thermos back into the hole on the table.

After the girl finished packing her things, Beichen asked:

"What? Did you encounter any unhappy things when you got home yesterday?"

"Eh? Is it that obvious?"

Hearing this, Kato tilted his head in confusion, looking very cute.

There was no excuse. She didn't intend to hide anything from Beichen. If she was happy, she was happy. If she was unhappy, she was unhappy.

"It's obvious." Beichen nodded, and then complained, "Xiaohui, do you have any misunderstandings about yourself?"

"You just don't have obvious facial expressions, but you don't really have facial paralysis."

"We've been together for so long, I can still sense your emotional changes."

“Ordinary happiness is when the corners of your mouth turn up slightly.

"When I'm very happy, the corners of my eyes will also turn up a little."

“When I’m unhappy, I purse my lips.”

"When you're angry, you'll frown, purse your lips slightly, and occasionally puff out your cheeks."

"You were obviously unhappy this morning. Your aura was completely disconnected from the people around you."

"What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"

Staring blankly at Beichen who was talking so much and constantly summarizing the changes in his facial expressions, Kato suddenly had the urge to hug him tightly.

Considering that they were in the classroom now, Kato suppressed the throbbing in his heart, shook his head, and said in a gentle voice:

"It's my own problem~"

"You also know my situation. It's easy to be ignored and forgotten."

"I've been in the other world for more than a month this time. I thought my father and mother would miss me."

"When they saw me, they were just a little surprised and asked me why I was out so late."

"It turns out that they didn't even remember that I went to another world."

Having said that, Kato pursed his lips again and his mood became depressed again.

"I see."

After listening to the girl's narration, Beichen nodded.

Indeed, anyone who encounters Kato's situation would be depressed.
