Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

Left with no other choice, Green had to free up one hand and patiently continue the guessing game with Mimi.

……

"This is vanilla cake!"

"These are cookies!"

……

Mimi's voice was crisp and clear, and she guessed the objects with astonishing speed. Every time she opened her mouth, she was accurate and without the slightest hesitation.

Green's arm gradually felt weak, even his fingertips trembled slightly. "Hey Mimi, could you guess a little slower?"

"Haha!" Mimi laughed, her eyes crinkling, her little body swaying back and forth, her tone full of pride.

"Betty hasn't guessed the food names in ages! Brother Green, is Honey about to win?"

The catgirl remained full of energy and took this competition, which had no prizes, very seriously.

Meanwhile, after some clumsy yet persistent efforts, Betty finally felt a warm sensation spreading between her lips and teeth. Just as she was about to pull away, Green mischievously pressed her down.

……

"Ugh... Green, you're so mean!"

Betty hurriedly covered her mouth with her little hands, her voice muffled, and she didn't dare to move her head too much. Her delicate little face was flushed, and even her ears turned red.

"Hmm? Betty, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing the strange sound, Mimi immediately stopped cheering, blankly raised her hand and pulled off the velvet scarf in front of her, her round eyes full of confusion.

She looked up and saw Green sitting in a thinker's posture, with a lazy weariness in his eyes.

The wicked thoughts that Emilia had stirred up had long been purified by Betty's gentleness and had completely vanished.

The kitten tilted her head and asked curiously, "Brother Green, why do you look so tired?"

"Honey, this isn't exhaustion, it's transcendence! Do you want to know the origin of the universe, why the stars hang high in the night sky, and why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west?"

Green spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes deep and unfathomable. His handsome appearance, coupled with a perfectly measured weariness, made him look like a wise man who had seen through the ways of the world.

"Oh dear! Mimi isn't really interested in things that can't be eaten." Mimi shook her head vigorously, not understanding at all.

Green's reaction was so strange, and Betty's too, she kept covering her mouth and I don't know what she was doing.

Could it be that she secretly ate something delicious while Mimi wasn't looking?

Upon considering this possibility, Mimi instantly became unhappy. Her little mouth pouted, her cheeks puffed out, and her gaze towards Betty was filled with intense dissatisfaction.

Meanwhile, Betty was already starting to give up.

Her throat moved slightly involuntarily, as if she had swallowed, and a little saliva slowly seeped out between her fingers, wetting her slender fingertips.

"Ha!" Mimi, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted the unusual movement. Her eyes widened, and she pointed at Betty, angrily shouting, "That's too much! Betty really did secretly eat all the delicious food by herself, didn't she!"

"Cough cough! No way!" Betty hurriedly wiped her fingertips, her cheeks flushed red.

She stared at Mimi speechlessly, then glared fiercely at Green, her eyes full of reproach.

Embarrassed and annoyed, Betty didn't care about anything else. She nimbly slid off her seat and quickly walked towards the door.

When Mimi saw Betty trying to run away, she panicked and quickly chased after her, saying, "Betty, wait! You haven't admitted that Mimi won yet! Mimi won this game!"

"You won! You won! Don't follow me anymore!"

"Haha, Mimi knew she'd win! By the way, Betty, where are you going?"

"brush teeth!"

Betty's voice drifted from afar, tinged with a hint of shy annoyance, before dissipating into the corridor.

……

As night deepened, Green nestled peacefully in bed with Betty in his arms, his warm breath gently brushing against her hair. He slept soundly, his arms loosely encircling her small body.

(At this moment, Rem is taking care of Emilia, who is slightly tipsy.)

Betty, however, was feeling a bit sleepy. Nestled in his warm embrace, listening to his steady heartbeat, she became even more awake.

By the faint moonlight filtering through the window, she slightly raised her head and quietly observed Green's sleeping face.

Recalling her previous absurdity, a faint blush crept onto her cheeks, and she couldn't help but gently rub her fingertips against his cheek.

"Dirty, vulgar, filthy... gentle, naughty, childish."

Betty murmured to herself, as if showing off her treasure to the moon.

After staring at him for a long time, she tilted her head up slightly, leaned closer little by little, and gently pressed her soft lips against his.

boo——

"I should have bitten you before I brushed my teeth, so you could taste that damn flavor too..." the girl muttered softly, her tone full of resentment.

After doing all this, Betty turned her head and lay flat in Green's arms, her body tense and her breathing barely audible, as if afraid of disturbing the person beside her.

"Wotox, are you there? Betty has allowed you to appear here."

Betty parted her lips slightly and softly called upon the magic mirror.

After Betty swallowed the Slothful Soul in the Magic Mirror, she asked Grimm to grant her the authority to summon the Magic Mirror.

The Magic Mirror has always been unruly and mischievous. Green had long ago revoked its right to descend on its own, and now it needs permission to come out.

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint purple light rippled from the shadows beside Green, condensing into a golden mirror in mid-air.

Seeing that his super-powerful master was sleeping soundly, Wotox didn't even dare to make a sound. He yawned loudly and sounded listless.

"Yawn—you wicked loli, why are you summoning me in the middle of the night? If you wake up your master, I'll get beaten up again! Are you trying to kill me?"

The last time the Magic Mirror appeared, it took advantage of Green's sleep and wrote a few words on the Book of Wisdom. Green wanted to throw it away on the spot.

So much so that Green would often talk in his sleep about killing the magic mirror, which led Wojtocks to suspect that Green was killing people in his dreams.

Betty gripped the handle of the magic mirror and pulled it towards her, whispering, "Let Betty see Juse's current condition."

"Heh, if you want nightmares, I'll help you. Why watch that stuff?"

Despite this, Wotox still managed to show the Bishop of Sloth's current appearance in the mirror.

In the dim, lightless void, Juss curled up in a ball, countless dark soul chains piercing his soul body, binding him tightly.

His once frenzied eyes were now covered with a layer of chaotic gray mist, and the black aura around him had faded by more than half, but there were still wisps of dark light wandering around him, struggling like a trapped beast.

Those are the witch's miasma, which are being continuously digested by the magic mirror.

"...Satella...forgive your follower for being unable to diligently carry out your commands any longer..." His voice was hoarse and broken, drifting out from the mirror, full of despair and obsession.
