Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

After finishing speaking, Hetaro haphazardly shoved the remaining stack of cards into Green's hand and practically tumbled out of the room.

Seeing this, Mimi happily waved to Green, "Green, Green, come and play with us! Black Tarot is so useless, you can't even switch cards without being detected!"

"Wow, aren't you guys playing Dou Dizhu (a card game)? How come you already have almost 30 cards?"

Green sprawled out on the soft bed, counting the cards in his hand with a puzzled expression.

With her hands on her hips, Mimi replied confidently, "The Black Tarot is smaller than Mimi's, so Mimi gave him all the smaller cards."

"Huh? Then I won't play with that little cheater." Green tossed the cards aside, turned over, and lay down on the covers, pretending to sleep.

I was planning to invite Rem for a sweet duo match after I got back to my room, but I didn't expect there to be a group of people playing Dou Dizhu (a card game) here!

Alas, life is unpredictable.

Before Green could catch his breath, Mimi pounced on his back, pressing herself firmly against him, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck as she shook him repeatedly.

"No, no, Green, get up! It's just for a little while, you need three people to start!"

"Well!"

The sudden weight made Green groan, and he sank deeper into the blankets.

"Damn it, Hajimi, are you trying to murder me?"

"Black Tarot has escaped. We can't do without you. Mimi is already super strong. She will definitely be able to defeat Betty with you!" Mimi buried her little head in his back and rubbed against him, refusing to let go.

"Huh? What are you saying, you filthy four-legged creature?"

Betty stood up, hands on her hips, and quickly ran over, dragging Green behind her. "Green is Betty's contractor, you better stay away from him!"

When Mimi saw Betty pulling Green behind her, she immediately panicked, gripping Green's arm tightly and pulling him towards her, her little body stiffening.

"Green already ate Mimi's hunting gift, so Mimi got her share too! Betty, you stingy little devil!"

Betty wasn't about to let up either, grabbing Green's other arm and pulling him back, retorting in a shrill voice, "We need to rest now! It's not your place to bother him!"

Green was pulled on one side by the two men, his arms aching from the pulling. He was slid back and forth on the bedding, the marks he had just made were now worn and messy.

"Let go first, then obediently become Betty's landlord!"

"Why should Mimi listen to you?!"

"Stop right there, you two idiots..."

Hearing the two little ones arguing, Green couldn't stand it anymore. He suddenly pulled them both back forcefully, and also wrapped Betty and Mimi tightly in his arms.

His gaze inadvertently swept over Betty's delicate little face, and a ripple of emotion welled up in his heart.

"Playing cards... what's so fun about that? I have some more interesting games I'd like to try."

Betty is over 400 years old, it should be fine, right?

In the remote corner of Muli, such a high level of favorability is enough to switch to a heart-shaped eye.

Mimi immediately swayed happily, raising both hands in agreement: "I want to play! I want to play! No matter what game it is, Mimi will be the best!"

Betty snorted angrily, looking at Mimi with disdain: "A competitive game would be best. Betty is determined to crush this dirty little cat under her feet!"

"Wait for me a moment, I'll go prepare some props for the game."

Green released the two of them, sprang up from the bed with a somersault, and walked out of the room.

About ten minutes later, he returned carrying a covered tray.

Green closed the door behind him, placed the tray on the small round table beside the bed, tapped the edge of the tray covered with a white porcelain plate with his fingertip, raised an eyebrow at the two women in front of him, and said:

"The rules of the game are very simple: guess the food while blindfolded, and you get one point for each correct guess. The player with the highest total score at the end wins."

Mimi tiptoed over the edge of the table, her little head craning to try and lift the lid. "Haha, is it delicious?"

Green reached out and pressed his hand down: "Don't peek!"

Betty tilted her little face up and snorted, but couldn't help glancing at the tray, and said stubbornly, "Betty is sure to win this childish game."

With a smile, Green took out two dark handkerchiefs from his pocket, walked up to Betty first, and gently covered her eyes with his hand.

He loosely tied a knot behind her ear with his fingertips, and then pinched her puffed-up cheek: "Don't try to be clever and peek."

"Hmph, Betty doesn't need to go to that extent to deal with a house cat that's less than 20 years old."

Cui Bisi tilted her head and struggled, but her nose twitched involuntarily as she tried to sniff out the aroma from the tray.

Mimi also came over with great interest, waiting for Green to blindfold her.

……

Once all the preparations were complete, the game began.

"Betty, you go first." Green picked up a small piece of honey muffin and held it to Betty's lips.

Betty paused slightly, then the moment she opened her mouth and took a bite, the sweet honey aroma mixed with the soft texture of the sponge cake melted between her teeth. Almost without thinking, she proudly raised her chin: "Honey sponge cake, you think you can stump Betty with something like this?"

"Correct, Betty scores a point!" Green shouted with a smile.

Mimi, standing nearby, was so anxious she kept shaking herself, blindfolded and reaching out towards Green, shouting, "My turn! My turn! Brother Green, give me some food! Mimi will definitely guess right!"

Green picked up a piece of fresh fruit with milk and handed it to Mimi, who took a big bite.

The sweet and sour fruit pulp, mixed with the milky aroma, burst in her mouth. She chewed it with her cheeks puffed out and exclaimed crisply, "It's milk fruit chunks! Mimi got it right too, one point!"

……

The two players were neck and neck for a while, until Betty's team started to have doubts.

Slurp slurp~

The girl's face flushed quickly; she seemed to have guessed the answer, but didn't know how to speak.

"Grin...Mimi's still here..."

"Okay, Betty, I'm sorry..."

Shy Betty softened immediately upon hearing Green's plea.

After witnessing the whole process of this guy and Rem getting close, Betty knew that she would inevitably get close to Green as well, but she never expected it to be in such an unexpected way.

Stupid Green, shameless bastard.

But he's already pleaded with Betty like this... wouldn't it be too pitiful to refuse him?

……

Mimi, standing nearby, also curled her nose, constantly sampling the scents in the air: "Haha, Betty still hasn't guessed? Why don't you admit defeat? Mimi is definitely the best!"

After she finished speaking, no one in the room responded for a long time; there were only a few faint sounds, so soft they were almost inaudible.

"Huh? Are you guys still there?"

A hint of doubt arose in Mimi's heart. She raised her hand to remove the velvet scarf covering her eyes, wanting to see what had happened.

Green reacted quickly, immediately reaching out to hold Mimi's small hand and whispering, "It's not over yet, Mimi, it'll be your turn soon."
