Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

Seeing your unreliable behavior actually makes Ram feel much more at ease.

Ram curled the corners of her lips, her breathing gradually becoming more relaxed, and she took a half step back, sitting down on the coffee table.

Green looked at Ram's swaying, jade-white legs and his breath twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Are you just blatantly exploiting me like this?"

"Giving you a chance to touch Ram is already generous enough, you greedy fellow."

Ram raised his chin, looking down at Green with a nonchalant air of superiority in the corners of his eyes.

Green's eyes were a little dazed; Ram looked absolutely stunning in this pose...

"Okay, you win."

Green extended his index finger and gently bit down under his sharp teeth, and plump beads of blood began to slowly emerge from the wound.

Ram tilted his head slightly, revealing the severed end of the demon horn, awaiting Grimm's blood.

"Um……"

A warm sensation came from between her eyebrows, and Ram couldn't help but let out a soft hum.

The green plants in the courtyard rustled softly without any wind.

Guided by the protection of the forest, countless sparkling points of life energy converged towards the conference hall.

The broken horn was reactivated, like a gear driven by an invisible force, beginning to draw magic from the atmosphere.

A tingling, pleasurable sensation spread throughout Ram's limbs and bones.

Her soft body leaned forward slightly, and as the distance closed, her breath carried a faint, fresh scent of grass and trees.

Ram deliberately turned his face away, refusing to look Green in the eye, the tips of his ears hidden in his hair, glowing with an almost imperceptible blush.

rustling...

A wave of magical energy emanated from Ram, who finally collapsed completely into Green's arms with a thud.

"Ram, your horns are indeed growing slowly under the nourishment of the blood of life, but at an extremely slow pace. It will probably take several attempts to complete the process."

Green caught Ram and pulled her into his arms, whispering something in his ear.

Ram's body must have used all its energy on the project of regenerating the demon horns, to the point that she could barely muster the strength to speak.

"OK……"

Ram murmured something as if in a dream, then curled up in Green's arms.

Green swallowed hard, his tongue quickly tracing across his dry lips.

Don't get me wrong, he's just a little thirsty.

"Don't move, Ram..."

The soft, fragrant texture was torture for Green at that moment.

Looking at Ram's adorable appearance in his arms, Green couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

I wonder if this is what Roswaal was like when he was replenishing Ram's mana...

Suddenly, a particularly wicked thought popped into Green's mind.

"Hehehe..."

Just thinking about what he was going to do later made Green unable to stop smiling; his mouth was practically stretched to the back of his ears.

Then, Green had a sudden thought and quietly began to use his shapeshifting technique.

A purple magic circle lit up from beneath Green's feet and floated up to the top of his head.

As the magic circle disappeared, Grin had transformed into Roswaal's appearance.

Hahaha, I'm a despicable minotaur!

Green suppressed his laughter, his body twitching occasionally as he couldn't hold it in any longer.

He leaned close to Ram's ear and, mimicking Roswaal's voice, said, "Ram, I hereby bestow upon you the protection of the stars..."

Upon hearing this, Ram, who was in his arms, opened his eyes as if he had been electrocuted, which startled Green.

He quickly pressed down the hand that was transferring blood and tightly covered Ram's eyes.

"Don't open your eyes, Ram-chan, it's me, Rose... Ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, Green felt a sharp pain in his palm.

Looking down, I saw that Ram had already taken a bite.

"You...low-class bastard! Change Ram back right now..."

Green threw Ram onto the sofa and shook his hands violently, trying to break free.

The transformation spell couldn't be maintained, revealing his original appearance.

"Hiss... Ram, you dog!"

"Once Ram regains his strength, I'll definitely beat you up."

Ram lay on the sofa, one hand covering her heaving chest, looking weak and sickly.

Green gritted his teeth in pain, raised his hand and saw two rows of tiny teeth marks where Volgam had bitten him before.

"Hey, Ram, your teeth are quite straight."

Ram gave him a look as if he were an idiot, it seemed that getting angry with Green was just asking for trouble.

"Sigh... Ram needs to rest for a bit, you can go out now, Green."

……

Time passed steadily, and things remained calm throughout.

Green was always happy to take care of Rem, who was ill.

After feeding her dinner as usual, Green returned to the kitchen with the empty dishes.

Rem's complexion recovered quickly, and Green even began to suspect that she was faking it.

Reaching the kitchen doorway, Green took out a key and unlocked the newly installed door lock.

Ram's execution ability is unquestionable.

To protect her precious ingredients from being coveted, she installed a sophisticated lock, the kind used for vaults, in the kitchen.

"Tsk tsk, what a spendthrift woman, she could buy three kitchens with this lock."

squeak~

Green hummed a little tune as he pushed open the door and stepped inside.

"Huh? No way, an opportunity door opens at this time."

After saying that, Green immediately turned around, ready to run away.

"You stop right there, Betty! It's infuriating that you're so disregarding Betty's chances."

An angry shout came from behind.

Betty clenched her little fists tightly, looking like she wanted to jump up and punch Green in the knee.

Green turned back helplessly: "Betty, how about I go wash the dishes first and then come play with you?"

Betty's brows furrowed sharply, and her purple eyes instantly flashed with displeasure.

"Do you think Betty is a child? You rude wretch."

With that, she waved her small hand, and a purple spatial rift appeared beside Green.

A powerful suction force emanated from the crack, and with a "whoosh," it swallowed the cutlery in Green's hand.

As Betty's little hand fell, the spatial rift closed like a zipper and then disappeared.

Green was dumbfounded; he now understood how he had been sucked in back then.

"Betty, what if Ram asks me for cutlery later?"

Betty crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes filled with disdain.

"It's nothing valuable, just deduct it from your salary."

"I'm currently working in debt, and my salary has been advanced for three months from now."

Green shrugged and smiled nonchalantly.

"I think we should find a scrap collector to come and sell the old books in your library. Then we can water them and make some money."

clack clack...

The sound of Betty's teeth grinding.

"You rascal, Betty's going to banish you to another dimension to be with the tableware right now..."

"Wait, wait, don't be angry, Betty. You've banished me, so who's going to fix your bookshelf, right?"

Green immediately begged for mercy, quickly slipping behind Betty to massage her back in a fawning manner.

Betty took a deep breath, and most of her anger subsided.

"Hmph, Betty thought you were planning to break the contract!"

"How could that be? Everyone knows that elders never lie."

Green pulled out a nail he had prepared beforehand from his pocket to prove his point.

This was specially made by the blacksmith in Alam Village, and a small bow was engraved on the end of the nail.

Betty's complexion had clearly improved.

These stubborn elves value agreements above all else; if you don't always keep them in mind, you'll be disliked.

"To dare to call yourself an elder in front of Betty with a mere ten years of experience is truly shameless. Betty has lived for over four hundred years."

"Okay, Betty, my wife... you are the elder."

After saying that, Green pressed the nail into the loose bookshelf with his left hand, and summoned a bewildered magic mirror with his right hand...
