Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

"Greetings, my dear master... Ah! Oh! Ouch!"

Bang bang bang!

The nail gradually sank into the bookshelf under the tapping of the magic mirror.

"Wait, Master! Stop knocking! Please wait a moment. Can you tell me what I did wrong this time?"

"Haven't you done enough messes? I've remembered them all. You think they'll be forgotten tomorrow?"

After finishing speaking, Green continued hammering, and soon he had repaired a bookshelf.

Just when the Magic Mirror thought it had finally made it through, Betty raised her little finger and pointed to the other side.

"There are more than ten other units over there that have also loosened up."

"No!"

The magic mirror looked up to the sky and roared.

Grimm held the magic mirror up to his face and said disdainfully, "I fed you so many monster souls yesterday, and you just ate without doing anything. What's the point of me raising you?"

"Master, you can't think like that!"

"You're using me like a hammer, like using a cannon to kill a mosquito!"

"Think about it, firstly, I can help you hypnotize the woman you fancy, and secondly, I can help you secretly film them taking showers... Waaah... Waaah..."

Green didn't dare wait for the magic mirror to finish speaking and quickly shut its foul mouth.

Betty cast a disdainful look at the master and servant.

"Please don't spout nonsense in Betty's room. Betty feels like the air is being polluted by you."

"You haven't already used those dirty abilities on the people in the mansion, have you?"

"No, absolutely not! Absolutely not!"

Green denied the allegations three times and seemed hesitant to make eye contact with Betty.

So far, the hypnotic ability has only been used on Betty.

Great Elves shouldn't be considered human, right?

"Hmph, how filthy."

Betty cursed and then lowered her head to read her book.

It took about half an hour to fix all the loose bookshelves.

The magic mirror is already taking in more air than it's venting.

It lay trembling on the table, raising a magically conjured hand as if pointing out a murderer.

"I...I'm going to report Consort Xi, ptooey, I'm going to report you, you super-male patient!"

I'm going to be a witness against you, you little rascal. That bastard secretly captured your image while you were asleep...

"You're talking nonsense!"

Green shouted nervously, frantically trying to recall the magic mirror back into his body.

The magic mirror, anticipating this, darted into Betty's hands first.

The mirror rippled, revealing Betty's adorable sleeping face as she lay on the princess bed.

Betty's expression froze as she carefully examined her reflection in the mirror.

As you gently slide your finger across the mirror, the photo switches to the next one.

A brief silence fell over the forbidden library.

The more Betty watched, the more her brows furrowed.

"Huh? I think someone's calling me. Did you hear that, Betty? It must be Rem, that little glutton, who's hungry again. I'll go take care of her now. See you later!"

Green used the technique of creating something out of nothing, then turned around and prepared to run away.

After walking quickly to the door, Green turned the doorknob hard.

Click-clack!

No matter how Green twisted the door, he just couldn't open it.

"Heavenly Bodhisattva, this door is poisonous!"

Betty slightly raised her eyelids, a cold, magical glint flashing in her silver-blue pupils.

With a flick of her slender fingertips, a wisp of condensed pale purple magic rune shot out as if it were alive, precisely wrapping around the back of Green's collar.

Before he could react, the invisible magic suddenly tightened and then pulled him backward sharply.

"Ouch!"

Green felt an irresistible force coming from his back, and he stumbled and fell back in front of Betty.

Betty coldly flipped the mirror over and showed it to Green.

"The images shown so far are all of Betty alone, so it's fair to say that you've fallen for Betty's beauty."

But! What were you thinking when you showed that last picture? If you don't explain yourself, Betty will beat you up and throw you into the fertilizer pit downstairs.

Green looked up, his mouth agape in a mixture of bewilderment and surprise.

In the reflection in the mirror, Green stands behind the princess bed, one large foot on the headboard, both hands pointing out the middle fingers, looking at Betty sleeping soundly on the bed with disdain.

"What the hell is this...?"

Green swore that all he had documented were adorable photos of Betty; he definitely hadn't taken any of those grotesque, AI-generated images.

"That bastard Magic Mirror must have photoshopped it!"

Betty asked疑惑地问道, "What's PS?"

Green quickly explained, "He forged it. It seems I was too lenient."

After saying that, he stretched his limbs, then raised his hand in a fit of rage.

The magic mirror once again turned into stardust and shimmered back into his hand.

Green pulled out a nail, its sharp head gleaming coldly.

"You're finished, Wotox..."

Seeing that things were going badly, the magic mirror immediately called on Betty for help.

"Help me! Help me! Your Highness, the Most Virtuous Princess!"

"You just called her a stuntwoman."

"Master, I was just possessed by a ghost. I absolutely didn't mean to betray you, you have to believe me... Ah! No!"

……

Betty crossed her arms, looking as if she was still angry.

"Even if the last picture is fake, the previous ones must have been taken by you secretly."

"Betty...this...this is all your fault!"

"What kind of idiotic answer is that...?"

Betty's silver-blue eyes showed confusion and annoyance; she found Green's erratic words hard to understand.

Green explained to Betty in a very serious tone:

"Don't you know that the higher one's looks, the greater one's sins? Being cute is an unforgivable sin?"

"ha?"

Betty slowly typed a question mark, her little face becoming somewhat indifferent.

"Stop acting cute with Betty. Betty isn't a dress-up doll to provide you with emotions."

After saying that, Betty raised her little hand, ready to knock Green away.

hum!

The bookshelves, floor, and walls of the forbidden library vibrated with Betty's magic.

"Wait a minute, Betty, I have another present for you!"

Green frantically searched his pockets and finally pulled out a stack of small cards, handing them to Betty.

This is a nice gift he prepared for the great elf who likes to stay in his room.

Betty hesitated and stopped what she was doing.

"What is that? It looks disgusting."

"These are called playing cards, but the raw materials are a bit disgusting. I made them using a portrait of Roswaal and precisely cut them to the size of cards."

Green showed Betty what he had in his hand; the cards were a good size and had pictures or numbers drawn on them.

Betty was speechless for a moment, then pulled out a few bills and took them into her hand.

As you can see from the card, Roswaal's mutilated facial features are indeed visible.

"This is a portrait of the first patriarch, Roswaal A. Mezas, an antique with nearly four hundred years of history, now turned into a pile of scrap paper."

Green curled his lip in disdain.

"With their family's inherited, disgusting style of dress, who would buy it?"

Betty's eyes drooped slightly, and her lips, which were originally cold, unconsciously pursed into a straight line.

Looking at Green's innocent and harmless face, she raised her hand and scratched the stray hairs by her temples in annoyance, her voice filled with an unyielding helplessness.

Whew, Betty, calm down.

"So... you gave Betty something you yourself find disgusting as a gift?"

"How could that be? This is actually a game prop. Let me explain the rules to you first..."
