Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

The sound of Beichen and others laughing and playing came from the microphone, and Hayasaka was speechless for a moment.

"Since you want to talk to her so much, why don't I leave?"

Although he felt somewhat resentful of Beichen's inhumanity, he still had to deal with the matter quickly.

After all, Tokisaki Kurumi is not a simple character.

[Is Xiao still listening? ]

"Oh, yes. Sorry, there was some trouble here just now. Haha."

When Beichen heard Hayasaka's voice, he remembered that he was still talking to the maid, so he quickly found an excuse.

[…Xiao-san, let’s not waste time. ]

[What happened to Tokisaki Kurumi in the island country is not a big deal, I will deal with it later. But what happened to her internationally is not something we can handle, we can only help suppress it. ]

[If she still wants to live a peaceful life on the island in the future, then you'd better persuade her to change her ways and be more cautious. ]

"Okay, no problem, I'll tell her. I'll trouble you to help deal with it from now on."

As he spoke, Beichen suddenly remembered the gift Hayasaka had given him before, and he changed the subject and began to praise her.

"I have received your gift of apology, and I am very satisfied. I will get you some rare materials someday as a return gift."

[No, as long as you are satisfied, this is what we should do. ]

"If you are asked to take it, just take it. No need to be modest."

Beichen said forcefully that it was rare that he was in a good mood and wanted to give a gift, but he didn't want the other party to ruin his mood.

[Since Xiao said so, it would be rude of me to refuse.]

"Well, take it."

[Okay. Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll get busy now.]

"No, go get busy! See you next week."

【See you next week.】

After hanging up the phone, Beichen put away his phone and looked at Xuexia beside him.

"Okay, Yukinoshita-san, now that the cat abuser issue has been dealt with, no one should dare to show up again in the short term."

"This place is not far from your home, why don't you go back first?"

Hearing this, Yukinoshita frowned.

She knew that Beichen was trying to drive her away and did not want her to participate in the subsequent conversation.

Yukinoshita is actually quite curious about Kurumi.

On the one hand, I am more curious about the other person's original world;

On the other hand, she smelled the scent of a 'kindred spirit' from Kuang San.

But considering that the other party was a female devil who killed people without blinking an eye, Yukinoshita felt that it would be better for her to have less contact with her.

Even if the other person had just helped you.

After thinking about it, Xueshita stopped hesitating and bowed her head to thank Beichen.

"Thank you for your help in this incident, Captain. I will prepare a corresponding thank you gift later. I hope you won't mind."

"Oh." Beichen nodded and did not refuse.

Given the Second Miss's personality, refusing would only make things more troublesome.

As he expected, Yukinoshita felt relieved when she got Beichen's response. She didn't like owing favors to others.

With a rare smile, Yukinoshita looked at Kurumi again.

Seeing that the other person was looking at him, he nodded politely.

"Thank you also to Ms. Tokisaki for your help."

In fact, she wanted to call her aunt at first, but considering that the other person looked the same age as her, she couldn't bring herself to call her that.

"Where is 'Ms.', Yukinoshita-san." Hearing the discomfort in Yukinoshita's words, Kurumi smiled slyly and complained in a wronged manner:

"Am I that old? Everyone said that I just turned 18. Hey, Beichen-san, what do you think?"

As she said this, Kuang San also cue Beichen who was standing next to her.

"Oh, yes, yes! Kuang San will always be eighteen years old." Beichen nodded cooperatively.

"..."

The way the two of them sang in unison made Yukinoshita speechless.

He simply ignored the two of them, bowed slightly to say goodbye, and turned and left.

Looking at Yukinoshita's gradually disappearing figure, Beichen raised an eyebrow at Kuang San.

"Let's go, someone will come over to clean up here later, let's find a quiet place to talk."

After saying that, without waiting for the girl's response, Beichen turned and walked out of the woods.

"Eh~ I'm very happy with it."

Not caring about Beichen's attitude, Kuang San took light steps and followed Beichen with a smile.

……

On top of an unknown building, two figures sat on the edge of the rooftop.

Beichen drank some happy water while telling Kuang San what he knew about the battle plot.

Beichen didn't watch much of the anime "Date A Live", only the first and second seasons.

I didn’t continue watching the third season because I felt the style was a bit unreliable, and I didn’t even watch the subsequent theatrical version of Beichen.

I just went to read her plot summary because of my fondness for Kurumi.

Coupled with his understanding of the background of the battle world, although he could not fully answer Kurumi's doubts, he could still explain the context clearly.

After listening to Beichen's story, Kuang San's mood was also in turmoil.

When she learned from Beichen that she was a character in an anime, Kuang San did not react at all. She felt that the original world was an extremely bad game.

But when she learned that everything she had endured was just a preparation for Mio to resurrect Somiya Shinji, she couldn't help but get furious.

After Beichen roughly told the girl about the future direction of her original world and her experiences, the girl didn't know what to say for a moment.

Especially after hearing Beichen say that she fell in love with the male protagonist, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if she had returned to the era of the Four Heavenly Kings.

It's not like Kuang San hadn't suspected Beichen was a liar.

But she had also heard a lot of the information Beichen talked about, and Beichen could also tell her about many of his more secret experiences.

She couldn't help but believe it.

Moreover, if one were to follow her original personality, it wouldn't seem strange for her to fall in love with the male protagonist of the original world after going through so much with him.

After all, the other party is really risking his life...

"So, even in the end, I was not able to successfully save Sawa..."

Stroking Bapu's fur, Kuang San muttered to herself.

"What do you think, Beichen-san? Am I doing the right thing?"

Hearing this question, Beichen scratched his head and didn't know how to answer.

In the original work, in order to stop robbing people of their happiness, Kurumi gave up her previous sad wish at the last moment and chose to bear the heavy sin alone.

There is nothing wrong with this approach.

I can only say that from the perspective of the protagonists, doing so is very necessary.

If we over-interpret it, perhaps the original author wanted to convey to readers the idea that "the dead are gone, and the living are still here."

Well, in layman's terms, it means cherishing the present moment.

But, having said that.

But Beichen still maliciously speculated more than once that the reason why Kuang San chose to give up was because she couldn't bear to leave her lover.

After all, in anime, brothers and girlfriends are just consumables, right?

It is said that best friends offer sacrifices to the heavens, and their powers are boundless.

It’s true that Kuang San lost her best friend, but she gained love!
