Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

Petra's eyes seemed to light up. She looked up at Green and said:

"I'll try my best, Brother Green, but I'm really worried... What if everyone really gets caught by wolves... What will we do then!"

Green crouched down to be the same height as Petra before responding with a warm smile.

"I will definitely come to save you when that time comes."

A glint appeared in Petra's eyes, and she extended her right hand.

"Let's pinky swear!"

"it is good."

Green also reached out his hand, and their little fingers touched.

"By the Dragon God above, I swear this oath."

Petra closed her eyes and recited the mantra. When she opened them again, she was completely calm.

"Brother Green, I promise I'll protect everyone!"

After saying that, the little girl quickly ran back.

Clang, clang~

The sound of a dragon chariot moving began, and just as the time was right, Rem drove her dragon chariot over as well.

……

In order to avoid being discovered, Emilia rushed back to the mansion first.

She ran non-stop, and even with Parker's help, she was starting to feel the strain.

As soon as Emilia returned to her room, she collapsed onto the soft bed, looking completely exhausted.

Parker, however, remained in high spirits, sitting close to Emilia's ear and saying, "Leah seems very happy today."

Emilia rolled over and lay limply on the bed.

"I've always wanted to go to Alam village, and this time I finally made up my mind."

Parker teased, "My poor daughter, you didn't have to be so careful. You could have gone with Green by wearing that cloak that obstructs your vision."

Emilia shook her head: "Hiding under a cloak and hiding behind a cherry blossom tree are essentially the same."

Parker raised his little paw and tapped his head, saying, "Sorry, Leah, I misspoke this time."

Emilia opened her arms and hugged Puck, saying gently, "It's okay, Puck, as long as you're with me, that's enough."

Bang bang bang!

Just as the father and daughter were having a heartwarming chat, a knock on the door sounded rather tactlessly.

"Who?"

Emilia asked a question, but no one responded.

squeak~

She pushed open the door, but to her surprise, there was no one there.

Parker, with its keen observation skills, immediately pointed to the objects on the ground and reminded her, "Lia, look down there."

Emilia obediently lowered her head and, sure enough, saw a tray on the ground.

On the plate was a cluster of fresh cherry blossoms and a pink cake that looked rather crudely made.

Emilia covered her mouth in disbelief, momentarily at a loss for words.

Did Green bring this back to me from Alam Village?

Yes, it must be him.

Parker was also somewhat surprised. Just as he was about to fly over, Emilia quickly stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute, Parker, don't come over yet, just wait a moment."

As she spoke, Emilia quickly wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

After taking several deep breaths, she finally squatted down and picked up the tray.

"Liya..."

Parker called out softly. He knew that Emilia, who lacked affection, was somewhat affected at the moment, and it would be best to let her adjust on her own.

Emilia sniffed and changed the subject:

"Green has been corrupted by the children of Alam Village. I must give him a good scolding next time we meet."

Parker nodded and gently ruffled Emilia's hair.

"Lia, get some rest. You look exhausted."

Emilia placed the cherry blossoms in the vase by her bedside, clutching the cherry blossom mochi tightly in her hand.

She really wanted to eat it then, but now she's a little reluctant to.

Exhausted, Emilia closed her eyes, clutching a cherry blossom mochi in her hand, leaned against the bedside, and drifted off to sleep...

After an unknown amount of time, a sudden burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence.

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

Emilia got out of bed and put on her slippers.

Looking out the window, the sun was already high in the west, practically touching the mountains.

The great elf Puck had long since reached his rest time and had retreated into the magic crystal hanging on Emilia's chest.

As soon as Emilia pushed open the door, she bumped into Ram, who looked anxious. She rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Ram, what happened?"

A hint of sorrow flickered in Ram's eyes: "Lady Emilia, Grin... Grin is dying!"

"How could that be?"

Emilia staggered, and the cherry blossom cake in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

Ram didn't have time to explain, and grabbed Emilia's hand, running towards Grin's room.

When we arrived at the room, it was already packed with people.

Roswaal, Beatrice, Rem, and a bewildered Subaru Natsuki all gathered around Grimm's bedside.

Green, who is usually full of energy, is now lying weakly in bed.

His skin was pale, his breath was faint, and he looked like he was on the verge of death.

Rem held Green's hand tightly, trying to ease his pain.

Why is this happening? It was fine this morning.

She came to deliver herbs to Green to treat his bite, and as soon as she entered, she found Green lying unconscious on the bed.

In her panic, Rem could only call everyone over to see if they could help.

Suppressing her heavy heart, Betty raised her right hand and released a spell to detect abnormal states.

A moment later, black smoke suddenly emerged from the dog bite mark on Green's palm.

"This is it!"

Betty grabbed Green's hand and began to examine him closely.

"This wound is the medium for the spell; someone planted a curse on Green."

Upon hearing this, Rem's pupils trembled slightly.

Green was bitten while saving her.

"It was Rem... who killed Grin-kun..."

Once this idea was conceived, it began to grow wildly and endlessly.

Emilia walked up to Grin, and tears streamed down her face, no longer able to be held back.

The half-elf girl said sorrowfully, "Why... why did such a terrible thing happen... I thought we could be friends..."

Rem knelt by the bed, gently placing her hands on Grimm's cold hands, just as Grimm had protected her when she was in danger.

His blue pupils had turned red, and his usually resolute gaze was now filled with fear and helplessness.

"Is Lady Beatrice also helpless?"

Upon hearing this, Betty let out a long sigh.

"If we could have discovered it beforehand, we could have easily destroyed the unactivated spell. Now that the curse has taken effect, the only way to stop it is to kill the one who initiated it."

"Rem, go kill her right now!"

Rem's arm veins bulged, as if she would turn into a demon at any moment.

She clearly remembered the appearance of the magical beast and its master.

Betty shook her head: "It's too late. This spell will continuously drain the cursed person's magic power. Judging from Green's current condition, he can only last for another hour at most."

Rem stubbornly stood up and walked towards the door.

"Rem will kill her within an hour..."

Ram glanced at Rem with concern, knowing she couldn't persuade her sister now.

Besides, he owed Green a life.

Thinking of this, she walked to Green's bedside and said to the unconscious Green:

"Even a beluga whale couldn't take your life, Ram doesn't believe you've become so fragile..."
