Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

After going around in circles, it was already half past twelve in the afternoon when Beichen and Kato arrived.

After entering the restaurant, under the guidance of the waiter, the two came to the dining table and stood still. Beichen let go of Kato's hand and asked him to sit down.

Yes, although it was a bit abrupt, in fact, when they were shopping just now, the two of them held hands inexplicably.

Thinking back carefully, it seemed that Kato would let go of Beichen's wrist from time to time to pick clothes, and then hold it again.

He kept repeating this, moving from Beichen's wrist to the back of his hand, then from the back of his hand to his fingertips, and finally putting his hand directly into Beichen's palm.

Beichen also subconsciously held Kato's hand.

After going through the whole process, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but he always felt like he was being tricked.

"Beichen-kun, is it really okay to just eat these?"

Not knowing what Beichen was thinking about, Kato looked through the menu and asked uncertainly.

In fact, at first she wanted to book a famous Kaiseki restaurant to treat Beichen to dinner.

But Beichen seemed to have no interest in those things, so he had to give up the idea and instead chose to go to a Western restaurant with relatively good ratings in the mall.

As a result, for various reasons, I forgot to check the time when I was shopping, which resulted in a long queue in that store.

So, Beichen suggested having dinner at this family-style restaurant with relatively small traffic.

This made Kato feel a little embarrassed, after all, this meal was to thank Beichen.

From high-end cuisine to more affordable fast food, how could she not worry about not entertaining well enough?

"Don't worry about it. I'm not that interested in those things."

"I told you before, I rarely eat at those places."

"Compared to a somewhat quiet dining spot, I prefer noisy places like roadside stalls or izakaya ramen restaurants."

“That’s how life feels.”

Seeing the girl's slightly embarrassed look, Beichen spoke to comfort her.

"And you didn't just treat me to a meal." Beichen pointed to the shopping bag beside him, "Didn't you also buy me some clothes?"

Hearing Beichen's genuine words, Kato felt relieved but also a little shy.

When she was shopping just now, in addition to buying clothes and accessories for herself, she also picked out a few clothes specifically for Beichen.

He also stopped Beichen from paying and forced him to use his own pocket money to buy the clothes.

Now that I think about it, this behavior is somewhat like that of a couple in love.

It was just that Beichen didn't seem to notice the ambiguous parts in it and his expression was still normal, which made her feel a little disappointed.

But the truth is, Beichen really didn't care.

After all, most of his clothes were not bought by him.

Except before entering junior high school.

Ever since he came to Dongdu and met Joel, most of his clothes were bought by him.

Later, he met Black Cat, who would occasionally send him some homemade or purchased clothes.

And now that Rem has come, he has even covered his pants.

So, in his opinion, Kato's behavior of buying him clothes was nothing special.

What's more, he also paid for several pieces of clothing for the girl.

Putting away the little emotions in his heart, Kato shook the menu in his hand and said to Beichen: "Then let's order!"

"Yeah." Beichen nodded in response, picked up the menu in front of him and began to look at it.

The restaurant has a relatively rich menu, with both Western and Japanese food available.

Beichen didn't behave politely with Kato, or rather, if he did, the girl would feel uneasy.

So we ordered a lot of food in succession, including salads, pizza, hamburgers, grilled fish, ramen, fried pork chops, etc., and finally a dessert.

It seems like a lot, but in fact, considering the size of each rice portion in the island country, plus Beichen's big appetite, all these things added together are not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

But he just came here to fulfill an appointment, so he didn't care what to eat.

Since the family restaurant is a fast food restaurant, they didn't have to wait long before the table was filled with various plates.

"I'm starting!" Beichen clasped his hands together and muttered mechanically.

If he were eating at home, he would definitely not do this. At most, he would just say "Eat."

But in front of Kato, he still had to pretend and save the other person's face.

After the opening remarks, the two picked up their chopsticks and started eating the food in front of them.

Beichen and Kato don't have the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping.

Therefore, during the meal breaks, the two of them kept chatting and sharing the interesting things they knew.

Overall, Beichen was very satisfied with the meal.

Time passed and in the blink of an eye it was already the end of the meal.

Kato looked at the two pieces of sushi on the plate and frowned.

Seeing this, Beichen was a little confused.

“Anything wrong with sushi?”

"No, I just can't eat anymore."

Shaking his head, Kato looked at the plate with a conflicted look on his face.

"Why, do you think it's a waste?"

"Yes, Beichen-kun. But it seems a bit troublesome to pack it."

"Then give it to me!"

"Eh? Is it really okay? Beichen-kun won't mind..."

Hearing Beichen's words, Kato asked in a surprised tone.

"Hey! What's there to dislike about this?" Beichen waved his hand indifferently, interrupting the girl's speech.

"Is that so~"

Kato tapped his lips, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"In that case, Beichen-kun, eat it while it's hot. Eel sushi won't taste good if it gets cold~"

After the girl finished speaking, without waiting for Beichen's response, she naturally picked up the chopsticks at hand, picked up the sushi, and stood up slightly.

With one hand holding the sushi empty, he handed it to Beichen's mouth with the other hand.

Beichen stared at the girl's actions in amazement. His brain was unable to react for a moment, and he subconsciously stretched his neck and opened his mouth.

It wasn't until I tasted the sweetness of the eel in my mouth that I finally came to appreciate the taste.

"My goodness, am I being fed by Saint Hui?"

Just when Beichen was a little dazed, Kato's soft voice came again from the other side.

"What's wrong, Beichen-kun? I saw that your hands were covered in grease and it was inconvenient for you to hold the chopsticks, so I fed you. I hope you don't mind."

"Besides, I washed the chopsticks with clean water."

"Uh, nothing, I'm just a little flattered to be fed by a beautiful girl all of a sudden."

Listening to the girl's explanation, Beichen didn't have time to savor it carefully. He swallowed the sushi in one gulp and praised the girl.

"No way, pretty girls or anything like that, I have nothing to do with them." Kato picked up the last piece of sushi and put it in front of Beichen, "Hey, Beichen-kun, there's still one piece~"

Looking at the sushi handed over to him, Beichen was about to refute the other party's humble words, but he held it back and obediently opened his mouth to accept Kato's feeding.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

"good to eat."

While chewing the eel sushi in his mouth, Beichen gave Kato a thumbs up.

The continuous change of topic had made him give up thinking about whether Kato's behavior was reasonable, and instead he began to savor the food in his mouth.

He didn't notice the cunning look that flashed across the girl's watery eyes.
