Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

Dongdu is a little far from the mountains, about 4 hours by highway.

When Beichen got off the bus, the lights were already on.

The orphanage is located on the edge of the city.

There is no bustle and noise of the city here, but instead there is tranquility and peace.

Under the dim light, the building looks particularly old.

But the laughter of children coming from inside the building makes people feel the warmth of home.

He raised his legs and walked towards the gate.

Qingshui Liang had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Beichen, he immediately stood up from the guard's chair.

"Hahahaha, I haven't seen you for many years. You've grown a lot taller."

As he spoke, the dean raised his hand and patted Beichen's arm.

Feeling the strength coming from his arm, Beichen smiled and nodded.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Your hand strength has improved a lot. How come you have regained your second spring?"

"Ahem! You kid." Hearing Beichen's teasing, Qingshui Liang seemed a little uncomfortable, so he quickly changed the subject.

"I know you have to go back home in the evening, so I won't exchange pleasantries with you."

"Come with me, I'll take you to see Qiong first."

"Okay." Beichen nodded, followed Qingshuiliang's pace, and walked into the yard.

It is a relatively large welfare home in Takayama City.

There are temporary medical treatment wards in the hospital, which are more fully equipped than ordinary medical rooms.

It’s just that special medicines still need to be prepared separately in the corresponding places, and Qiong’s recuperation is basically completed under this mode.

Arriving outside the ward, Qingshui Liang knocked on the door.

'Dong-dong. '

"Qiong, are you awake? Your adoptive parents are here."

"Please come in."

The moment Qing Shuiliang finished speaking, a calm voice came from inside the house.

There are many girls who speak in plain language around Beichen.

But without exception, they all have their own characteristics. For example, Rem's voice is relatively gentle, while Kato's voice is a little soft.

But the sound coming from the house at this moment was completely unremarkable.

It was as if the person speaking was just a hollow shell, empty and lifeless.

Qing Shuiliang didn't think too much about it. He reached out to turn the door handle and explained to Beichen:

"We packed everything for Qiong when you said you were coming."

"But Qiong is not in good health and is quite sleepy, so I'll let her sleep for a while."

"Yeah, it's okay." Beichen waved his hand. He didn't care about these details.

The door gradually opened, and Beichen's gaze shifted towards the room.

This is a small private ward.

The lighting in the house was dim and the furnishings were very simple.

There was only a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, and various old medical equipment.

Noticing Beichen's gaze, Qing Shuiliang laughed dryly:

"Haha, these devices were sent by Haruno's relatives later. It is said that they were prepared for Qiong by Kasugano's parents at that time."

"You know, although we have received a lot of donations from society, we can't afford to buy new equipment specifically for..."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Beichen said nothing.

Qing Shuiliang has done his best by doing this, so there is no need to blame him.

"Are you Xiao Beichen?"

While Beichen was still observing Qiong's living environment, a girl's voice was heard in the room.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Beichen saw one of the target persons of this trip.

Kasugano Sora.

The girl who made many netizens say "If you have a sister, you hate that your sister is not Qiong, and if you don't have a sister, you hate that Qiong is not your sister", was now standing by the windowsill and looking at him indifferently.

It’s not quite the same as Beichen’s impression.

The girl's long milky white hair, which should have been full of luster, now looked dull.

The twin ponytails were still neat and looked carefully groomed, but even so, they couldn't hide the dry and frizzy texture.

The light from outside the house shone through the window onto the girl's delicate body, illuminating the unusual whiteness of her face.

Even though her appearance was still sweet, it was ruined by her lifeless eyes, giving her a morbid beauty.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Looking at the girl quietly, Beichen waited for her further questions.

Who would have thought that Qiong did not continue to ask, but tightened the black doll in her arms and slowly walked to Beichen.

"Nothing. Can we go now?"

"Um...okay."

The girl's straightforwardness made Beichen a little unresponsive.

Logically speaking, shouldn't you say something like 'Be my sister' or 'I will support you in the future' to influence the girl?

Why did you suddenly get straight to the point?

Fortunately, his astonishment only lasted for a moment, and then he reacted and turned to Fiona and said:

"Take her back to the car first, I'll go get the other person."

"Okay Beichen-kun, do you need me to come back again?"

"unnecessary."

"Ok."

After receiving the order, Fiona, under the guidance of Qingshui Liang, walked into the ward and picked up Qiong's luggage.

During this process, Qiong said nothing and just stood quietly against the wall.

When Fiona was about to leave, he followed her and walked out of the yard.

"Ah! This child has a lot of personality problems, but sometimes, he is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed."

Looking at Qiong's departing back, Qing Shuiliang couldn't help but sigh.

Touching his chin, Beichen didn't respond.

After all, it is too different from the original, and without some contact, it is difficult for him to understand the girl's current mentality.

Qingshui, who was standing by, was not angry when he saw that Beichen did not respond to him.

He patted Beichen's arm, pointed at the ceiling and said:

"If you have anything to say, think about it when you get back. Let's go upstairs to find Sagiri now."

"Hurry up and arrange for them to be properly taken care of, so that I can put my mind at ease and sleep peacefully."

After saying that, Qingshui pulled Beichen towards the stairs without waiting for Beichen's response.

Beichen did not resist and let the other party do whatever he wanted.

After walking up the stairs, they soon stopped in front of the attic on the roof.

'Dong-dong. '

"Sagiri, are you ready? Your adoptive parents are here."

Unlike Qiong's calmness just now, as Qingshui knocked on the door, the room was instantly filled with the sound of objects banging and the angry voice of a white-haired loli.

"I don't want it! I don't want to be adopted!"

"Yada!!!"

From the continuous broken sounds, it can be heard that the girl is really using all her strength to express her protest.

"Haha, kid, be patient."

Fearing that Beichen would be disgusted, Qingshui quickly spoke up to comfort Beichen.

Even though it was expected, Sagiri's resistance still made the old dean stubborn and blocked.

Seeing Qingshui's embarrassed look, Beichen couldn't help but laugh.

Just now he was still wondering whether Sagiri would also undergo some major changes.

Now it seems that he was worrying too much.

Even though the experiences have changed, judging by the girls’ fussing, the overall situation is still the same.
