Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

Shinomiya Kaguya was very angry.

"That damn Xiao Beichen!"

As the words fell, the energy arrow that had been condensed in her hand for half a day instantly broke free from its restraints and hit the target in the distance with a powerful vortex.

Whoosh—bang!

Because it was made of special impact-resistant material, the target was not damaged. However, the photo originally pasted on it was torn to pieces, and it was impossible to tell who was in the photo.

Seeing this scene, Kaguya felt refreshed, as if she had drunk a bottle of ice drink in the dog days of summer.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Shinomiya Kaguya glanced at Hayasaka who was standing by and waiting.

"Just got back? Hayasaka."

"Yes miss, just got back."

"Why is it taking so long? Is it that damn Xiao Beichen who is making things difficult for you?"

"not at all."

When hearing Kaguya cursing Xiao Beichen, Hayasaka remained very calm.

These two people are old rivals!

Ever since Xiao Beichen entered Donggao, he has always been at the top of the grade.

Both in terms of study and martial arts, he is superior to Kaguya.

Even though she was restricted by her family, Kaguya, who had been a favored child since childhood, had never suffered such humiliation!

But no matter how hard Kaguya tried, she was always a little bit worse than Xiao Beichen.

It would be fine if the gap was obvious, but Beichen was particularly disgusting. He always acted like he was only slightly better than her, making her feel like she could catch up.

But the result was the same next time, which made Kaguya very angry.

If Kaguya hadn't disdained using dirty means to win, she would have praised Xiao Beichen long ago.

Otherwise, I wouldn't just vent my anger on the photos.

That’s right, those debris on the ground were all photos of Beichen. As for why Hayasaka knew that, it was naturally because she was the one who took those photos.

Generally speaking, Beichen would definitely not be happy to be photographed, and if someone wanted to secretly photograph him, he would have to be prepared to be either killed or maimed.

But there are always more solutions than problems. Hayasaka sells her dignity, that is, acts cute, and turns into a 'Hasaka' form to satisfy Beichen's bad taste.

In exchange for the opportunity to take a few half-length photos of him.

If you ask Beichen whether he knows about this, of course he knows.

But he doesn't care. He likes to see others wanting to beat him to death but being unable to do anything about it.

What's more, there is free maid service.

For Hayasaka, selling out her dignity once in a while is not unacceptable. After all, she is a spy and often disguises herself in different forms to carry out missions.

It's just that Kaguya is a bit too much. She asks Hayasaka to change a batch of latest photos for her every once in a while, saying that 'she wants to defeat the present Xiao Beichen, not the him in the past'.

That's enough!

In Hayasaka's opinion, although Kaguya's childish behavior is cute, it is cute at the expense of her own dignity.

forget it!

"Really?! Kaguya, you don't know how to cherish me at all!"

Kaguya didn't realize that the maid in front of her was criticizing her in her heart, and she continued to ask about Beichen.

"No? How is that possible?" Kaguya's tone rose slightly, "Are you hiding this from me? Is he asking you to leave me and become a maid in his house again?"

"Um, that's not the case, miss. You should know that there is a pair of twins living in his house now. I guess he has no interest in me now."

"And after we talked to him about the matter with Shio Liuwei, he specifically asked us to keep her and send her to him as an assistant."

In order to dispel Kaguya's wild thoughts when she was extremely jealous, Hayasaka took the opportunity to tell her about Beichen's request.

"Huh? That Xi Liuwei? Bringing Ying the spy?"

"Yes."

"Where is she now?"

"I asked her to go back first."

"Oh. Why do you think Xiao Beichen would...Oh!"

As she was talking, Kaguya suddenly thought she had guessed the reason, and her expression instantly became disdainful.

"Oh, this is really the bad nature of men!"

Seeing the girl looking down on him, Hayasaka knew she was having wild thoughts again, but she didn't stop her.

Speaking of which, Beichen did not mention the matter of asking her to work as a maid in his place this time.

In the past, whenever Kaguya was not around, Beichen would always say something to Hayasaka like, "There is no future in following the perennial runner-up, but following me, the number one, will give you face when you go out."

Another example is, "Si Gong doesn't cherish you at all. She treats you like a beast of burden, and works 007 every day. I'm different. You come to me and work from nine to five with two days off. There's no physical work, and you just need to be a vase."

She was very moved by what he said.

If she hadn't been unable to let go of Kaguya, she would have resigned and gone to Beichen long ago.

"Hey! Hayasaka, I'm talking to you!"

"Oh, excuse me, miss, I was just thinking. What did you say?"

"I say, don't listen to Xiao Beichen. If you follow him, he will definitely do something horrible to you and then throw you aside like a rag."

"Tsk, I really don't know why Mr. Zero would fall for such a scumbag."

"Forehead……"

Hayasaka naturally didn't know why the cold-tempered Lord Ling would accept Xiao Beichen as his apprentice, but it wouldn't be wrong to say that Xiao Beichen was a scum of the world.

Although in her opinion, Beichen was a man with a lot of bad taste.

But overall there are no problems. They are talented, don't mess around, are quick to repay and are easy to get along with in most cases.

"Are you questioning me?"

"I dare not. I am just thinking about your question."

Facing Kaguya's cold gaze, Hayasaka naturally would not tell the truth.

"Right! I knew I wasn't the only one who thought so."

"Oh, yes, yes! You are absolutely right."

As Kaguya's only guard, Hayasaka naturally knew what Kaguya was thinking.

He was simply dissatisfied with the fact that Beichen was noticed by Lord Ling and accepted as his apprentice, and that he had suddenly become a rising star from an orphan from the countryside.

Originally, he was suppressed by Beichen in school, but outside of school, he could still rely on his background to have a much higher status than Beichen.

In Kaguya's words, "Oh, no matter how powerful you are, you will just be working for us in the end."

In the end, she didn't have time to satisfy herself for long before Xiao Beichen came to her door as Master Ling's apprentice...

Now, you have the identity of a chaebol, while he has the identity of a level 9 transcendent disciple.

They can't compare in school, but they are just as good outside of school.

Kaguya was completely out of ideas.

If we were to say who in the entire island country could completely break down Kaguya and make her lose her usual calm demeanor, it would be Xiao Beichen.

Thinking of this, Hayasaka couldn't help but look at Kaguya with sympathy.

Feeling a hint of sympathy in Hayasaka's eyes, Kaguya suddenly felt extremely humiliated.

"What's that look in your eyes? I..."

"Miss, now is not the time to dwell on this."

Seeing that Kaguya was about to continue chattering, Hayasaka Ai quickly interrupted her.

Then, regardless of Kaguya's murderous look, he spoke:

"Xiao gave me a video evidence of this maze incident."

Upon hearing that it was serious business, Kaguya instantly calmed down and returned to her 'Ice Kaguya' state.

"What's going on?" Kaguya asked.

Hayasaka was used to Kaguya's expression changing faster than turning the pages of a book.

Therefore, she was not surprised at all and continued to report the information provided by Beichen with an expressionless face.

"This incident was not an accident. Someone did it on purpose, but there was a mistake."

"Which one... No, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to the dojo."

"Yes."
