Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

Emilia's gentle whispers made the mansion even warmer.

Green reached out and gently put his arm around her shoulder, his eyes filled with unwavering affection.

Just as I was about to say something, there was a loud, clear, yet restrained knocking on the door.

Rem turned slightly to the side and softly replied towards the door, "Coming."

She walked quickly to the carved wooden door, gently pulled the bolt, and stood outside the door was the slender Capella.

The once flamboyant and eccentric Bishop of Lust has now regained her beautiful appearance, though her hands and feet are bound with iron shackles engraved with runes.

The edges of the iron shackles gleamed with a faint golden magical light, firmly binding her power.

Upon seeing Rem, Capella instinctively shrank back, completely abandoning her usual arrogance. Clutching sealed letters, her voice was hurried and flustered:

"Miss Rem, Grimm's letter, from the Old World, I'll leave it here... I'm off now!"

As she spoke, she quickly shoved the letter into Rem's hand and backed away, using both hands and feet.

As if there was something terrifying in the room, without waiting for Rem's response, she turned and hurriedly ran away, her back view full of haste as if fleeing.

Seeing her flee in panic, Rem shook her head helplessly, gently closed the door, took the letter, and turned to walk back to the living room.

"It's a letter from Miss Capela, addressed to Green-kun. Miss Capela is still quite afraid of Green-kun today, hahaha."

Ram glanced up at the doorway, a smile playing on her lips:

"She was originally sentenced to 50 years of community service by the Committee of Ten, but Green extended her time as soon as he saw her. Now it's almost 120 years, and he certainly won't dare to come in."

Rem, holding the letter, slowly walked up to Grimm and gently handed it to him with both hands, her eyes filled with tender persistence.

Green stared at the letters sealed with wax, his face instantly falling. He shrank back into the sofa with a look of utter despair, groaning in protest.

"No way! I know it's going to be trouble again without even looking. I just finished dealing with the Ten-Person Guild, can't I just rest for a bit?"

"No, Mr. Green."

Rem crouched down and gently tugged at his sleeve, her tone gentle yet exceptionally earnest.

"You are the administrator of the miniature garden world, so you have to take responsibility and not slack off."

Ram agreed, "Besides, the old world will one day be enveloped by the world of Xiangting. You can't just abandon them, can you?"

Green sighed helplessly, completely giving up the struggle, slumped onto the sofa, closed his eyes, and waved his hand:

"Okay, okay, you read it for me."

Rem chuckled softly, obediently opening the letter. Her fingertips smoothed the creases, and after reading the contents, her expression softened slightly as she read aloud:

"All matters in the Kingdom of Lugnica have been settled. Nobles and people from all sides have reached a consensus and are waiting for Lady Emilia to come to the kingdom for the coronation ceremony of the Queen. We earnestly request that Lord Grin and Lady Emilia keep their appointment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the living room fell silent. Green, who had been lounging lazily, paused slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and turned to look at Emilia beside him.

Emilia herself was slightly taken aback, a faint blush rising on her fair cheeks, her purple eyes filled with astonishment and helplessness. She subconsciously gripped Grin's sleeve, murmuring softly:

"I... I have already abstained from the royal selection... and I never wanted to be the Queen of Lugnica."

Seeing Emilia's flustered and blushing face, Grimm's smile deepened. He reached out and gently stroked the tip of her nose, teasing her with a doting tone:

"I see. Then Lady Emilia must take responsibility. Even if you don't want to be crowned, it's better to explain it to everyone in Lugnica in person."

Emilia's ears burned from his teasing, her purple eyes shimmering as she gave him a gentle glare.

"Hmph, then you can come with me again."

"it is good."

Seeing this, Grimm reached out and ruffled her hair, then turned to Rem and said:

"Rem, please reply to Lugnica for me and let her know that we will keep our appointment as scheduled."

Rem lowered her eyes in agreement, a gentle smile playing in them, and softly replied:

"Rem understands. I'll go prepare pen and ink and send a reply to the Kingdom of Lugnica immediately."

She walked slowly to her desk, picked up her brush and ground the ink. Her neat handwriting fell on the letter paper, clearly conveying her promise to keep the appointment. As she sealed the letter, the sealing wax slowly solidified, marking the end of her journey to the old world.

Emilia leaned against Green's side, her fingertips still gently clutching his sleeve. The astonishment in her purple eyes slowly faded, but a hint of bewilderment at the unknown remained.

She never imagined that Wang Xuan, who had already abstained from the competition, would return to her life in this way.

The people of Lugnica, the nobles from all sides, and the unresolved past are all laid out anew in this letter.

Green felt the slight tremor in her fingertips and gently took her hand in his.

The warmth from his palm flowed steadily, and without offering any further words of comfort, he simply reassured her with this comforting presence.

Ram leaned back in her chair, her pale purple eyes sweeping over their clasped hands before gazing at the deepening twilight outside the window. She spoke softly:

"The situation in Lugnica may seem calm on the surface, but there may be undercurrents beneath. We need to prepare for this trip in advance."

Rem sealed the letter, turned around and walked over, gently echoing, "With Grin-kun here, all problems will be solved."

The fire in the mansion still flickered, its warm light enveloping the four figures.

Grimm looked at Emilia, whose expression was gradually relaxing, and then at Rem and Ram, who remained perfectly attentive. A gentle smile appeared on his lips.

He is the administrator of the miniature world, Emilia's support, and the source of confidence for those around him.

Whether he calmly declines the coronation or encounters new setbacks on the road ahead, he is already prepared to walk alongside them.

Emilia suddenly looked up, her purple eyes reflecting the firelight, and looked at Grin, asking softly, "When...when do we set off?"

Green lowered his head to meet her gaze, his eyes filled with certainty and tenderness, and slowly said, "We'll set off anytime you're ready."

The night outside the window slowly enveloped the entire manor, and starlight quietly climbed into the night sky, illuminating the road leading from the manor to the distance.

The letter sent to Lugnica is about to embark on a new journey. The ties of the past have not yet completely ended, and the story ahead awaits them to write step by step.

Their clasped hands never parted, the warmth in the mansion never faded, and their future path, at the end of the starlight, slowly stretched into the unknown distance.
