Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

The frenzied Grimm slowly walked towards Emilia, drool dripping from his mouth and his hands flailing wildly.

"Ah... now there's probably no way to wake up the owner of this body except with a true love's kiss! Hahahaha."

The magic mirror followed along eagerly, saying, "Me too, me too."

Enraged, Green slapped him away, yelling, "Are you a parasite? This is my crush!"

"Waaaah... Today's master is still incredibly powerful." The Magic Mirror covered its face and timidly floated behind Betty.

"Silly..." Betty said, arms crossed, looking like she was watching to see what you were up to.

When Green looked up again, trying to regain his composure, he met Emilia's poker face, and a chill ran through him.

"Cough cough... My brain is—oh dear!"

Before he could finish speaking, Emilia had already grabbed his ear and pressed his head into her arms.

"Baka baka baka! Green, when are you going to change your awful nature?!"

"Wrong, wrong! Lia, let go first."

Green still had drool on his lips, which smeared a wet stain on Emilia's skirt.

He frantically tried to wipe it, but Emilia pressed down on the back of his head with her other hand, making him hold it even tighter.

The girl's voice was soft and slightly pouty, yet tinged with helplessness: "Honestly, last time you impersonated a criminal at a hotel, and today you even dared to impersonate a witch cult member. Why do you always do such dangerous things?"

Green protested quietly, "Lia, you can't be so violent."

Emilia moved close to his face, staring sternly into Green's eyes: "Then you promise me you won't do anything reckless next time."

Green's eyes darted around: "Next time... next time, we'll talk about it next time..."

As the two were playing around, a soldier hurriedly ran over, saluted Green before speaking.

"Reporting to Lord Grin, we've apprehended a spy in the nearby forest!"

Grimm looked somewhat bewildered. He pressed Leah's hand off his body and stood up straight. "A spy? Bring him up here!"

The crowd parted quietly to make way, and the blonde girl, being escorted by soldiers, lowered her eyes, her violet-blue pupils devoid of any light, like a puppet whose soul had been taken away.

Upon seeing this man, Green couldn't help but grin: "Six, did that scoundrel Greed run away without even taking his wife?"

The person in front of me is one of Regulus's wives, I think her name is something like Sylphie, she was probably brought here by Regulus to store his heart.

Green activated his beastly instincts to the maximum, focused his senses, and then sighed softly.

There was indeed only one heartbeat inside this woman's body; it seemed that Regulus had taken her heart.

He waved to the soldier: "Let her go, this girl isn't a spy."

The soldier released his grip, and Sylphy merely maintained the gesture of placing her hands on her abdomen, her entire being exuding a numbness of being at someone's mercy, completely devoid of the vitality of a living person.

The moment she regained her freedom, as if receiving an invisible command, she mechanically lifted her foot and slowly moved towards the forest.

Green quickly reached out to stop him: "Hey, stop right there, where do you think you're going?"

Sylphy obediently stopped and replied, "If you don't kill me, I must get back to my husband as soon as possible."

"Wow, your brain... you've been abused and gone mad, haven't you? You really don't care about your body at all." Green frowned, his tone full of incomprehension towards Sylphy's behavior.

To everyone's surprise, the girl slowly raised her head upon hearing this and calmly replied, "Are you interested in my body, sir? If you have any needs, please feel free to do so."

Before she finished speaking, she raised her hand to untie the tie on her collar, her movements numb and submissive.

"Damn it!" Green exclaimed in shock and rushed forward to stop her. After grabbing Sylphy's hands, he quickly turned around and asked for help, "Someone help me, Phyllis, stop looking, it's you, come here right now."

It's unbelievable that Regulus, that impotent man, could turn his wife into this state, where she has no other thoughts than obeying orders.

"Ha~ Why me of all people, meow?"

Phyllis walked over reluctantly, gently stroking Sylphie's neck with her fingertips, and a pale blue healing magic instantly spread out.

In an instant, the girl's body went limp, and she lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

Sure enough, the cuter the person, the more decisive they are in taking action.

Green felt a sudden weight on his arm as the girl's entire weight pressed down on him. He frantically steadied her, looking at Phyllis with a bewildered expression: "What are you doing?"

"What else can we do? This lady has been brainwashed so thoroughly. If we don't knock her out, she'll run back to the forest and get herself killed if we don't keep an eye on her."

……

In the mansion of Crusch in the capital of Lugnica.

A grand celebration banquet is in full swing.

The crystal chandelier in the hall shone brightly, casting a warm glow on the carved long table and scarlet carpet. Smoked meat, pastries, and various drinks were laid out on the table. The clinking of silver pots mingled with laughter and cheerful conversation, sweeping away the tension of the past few days.

Crusch also removed his military uniform, stood beside the main seat holding a wine cup, and said in a pleasant voice:

"All of you here are warriors who won peace for Lugunica. Let us raise a glass together to celebrate your courage and dedication!"

After speaking, she tilted her head back and drank the wine in her glass. The moment the bottom of the glass lightly tapped the table, all the knights in the hall shouted "Long live!" The crisp sound of the glasses clinking together made the roof beams tremble slightly, making the celebration banquet even more lively.

"Where is Lord Green? He was just here a moment ago. I must offer him a toast!" A bearded knight shouted, holding up a wine jug, a few drops of wine spilling from the spout.

"You? You think you can toast Lord Green? You're as black as coal. Lord Green and his princess are already off having a little blast, hahaha!"

"Be careful what you say! Although that lady is a half-elf, her valiant fighting prowess cannot be denied!"

……

On the other hand, Green wandered around the party a few times before decisively running away. These veterans were bottomless pits; he couldn't possibly outdrink them.

He leaned against the balcony and felt the cold wind for a while, when suddenly he felt a warmth coming from beside his elbow.

Emilia approached, wearing a light white dress, her long, silver hair cascading over her shoulders, the ends still dusted with gold powder from the celebratory cannons.

"Haha, the great hero that everyone's been bragging about at the party—the one who shot down the beluga whale—is just sitting here daydreaming."

Green caught a very faint smell of alcohol and asked, "Lia, have you been drinking again?"

Actually, there's no need to ask; judging from the girl's rosy cheeks, she's clearly already a little dazed.

"Just a tiny bit... but it's mixed with a whole glass of soda water!"

Emilia hurriedly explained that with so many people at the party, it would be too embarrassing to make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

A gentle breeze blew, brushing against Emilia's flushed cheeks, mingling the soft fragrance of her hair with the faint scent of alcohol, and gently bringing it to Grin's nose.
