Re:Zero -Starting Life in Zero

Upon hearing this, Elsa lowered her eyes abruptly, her long eyelashes concealing the turbulent emotions surging within them.

She remained silent, her lips slightly pursed. The lazy and crazy look she had just had faded away, leaving only a calm and thoughtful expression.

"Beluga whale..."

She murmured those two words softly, a barely perceptible flutter in her voice at the end.

"So that's how it is. No wonder there's been such a severe shortage of supplies lately. It turns out someone's trying to take down this legendary monster?"

Because of the existence of the cursed doll, all the years she lived were like being separated from the world by a thin veil.

Unable to grasp the true essence of life, living in a daze, like a wandering shell.

Only when she cut open the prey's warm belly and grasped the throbbing intestines with her fingertips, the scalding sensation spreading from her fingertips to her limbs and bones, could she truly feel that she was still alive.

The white whale, however, is a member of the Gluttony Witch's retinue, one of the most powerful monsters in the world.

Its intestines must be hotter and fresher than any of its prey.

"That's an attractive offer."

Elsa extended her finger and pressed it against her red lips, exuding a captivating charm.

"But I'm very loyal; compared to that, Green's intestines excite me more..."

Green's smirk froze on his face for a split second, his eyes screaming "outrageous!"

"Okay, okay..."

Green nodded repeatedly, then helplessly lifted his shirt over his stomach.

"Come, come, I'll give you this chance. With a slit of the knife, my intestines are yours."

Elsa stuck out her tongue and quickly swept it across her lips, her body slightly arched, her right hand gripping the scimitar in reverse.

"Arigato... I'll get started then."

"Wait... I haven't counted yet!"

No sooner had Green finished speaking than he saw Elsa leap towards him like a nimble raccoon.

Giving her a chance was incredibly effective.

Never mind, I won't die anyway.

Green closed his eyes, and the forest's protection activated instantly, causing the surrounding vegetation to sway without wind.

Tiny specks of emerald light drifted out from among the branches and leaves, all converging towards him.

laugh--

A very soft sliding sound was heard.

Green only felt a cold sensation in his stomach; the expected pain did not occur.

A very soft scraping sound passed by my ear.

Green felt a slight coolness pass through his abdomen, but the expected excruciating pain did not come.

He slightly opened his eyelids and saw that what was pressed against his abdomen was not a cold blade, but Elsa's soft fingertips.

"Grimm's physique is surprisingly good~"

Elsa's fingertips traced over Green's firm abs, the movements gentle to the point of being provocative, carrying a hint of lingering ambiguity.

"Oh my~ This is the first time someone has offered me their intestines to chop up. I've met a really kind person."

Green was so startled that he took several steps back to create distance, clutching his chest tightly with both hands, looking disgusted.

"I think I've run into a patient... Are you going to cut them or not?"

Elsa brought her fingertips, which had touched his abdomen, to her lips and licked them lightly, as if to taste them first.

A captivating smile curved her red lips, her eyes still burning with fervent desire, yet now tinged with a playful composure.

"Let's save it for the reward. I always like to save the most delicious dessert for last, to savor slowly. Now, tell me what you're planning to do to the beluga whale?"

The man in front of her had once squeezed her intestines out of her mouth, and every time she recalled that scene, her heart would race.

Then, Green briefly described his thoughts to Elsa.

He told her to take a vacation in the capital with Meryl and await his orders.

By taking control of these two assassins first, they can prevent Roswaal from causing any more trouble.

Moreover, if the white whale is killed, the madmen of the Witch Cult will also appear, and the more combat power available, the better.

Melly peeked out from behind Elsa, her voice tinged with worry. "Elsa, the opponent is a white whale! Can they really win?"

Elsa reached out and wiped the cream off Mary's cheek.

"If he really did shoot down the beluga whale, wouldn't that further prove he can save you from 'Mother's' retribution?"

Meili suddenly realized that Elsa's obsession with giant intestines wasn't the only reason she was fighting the beluga whale.

It was also a test she was giving Green. She was very curious about just how far this man, who didn't take the assassin organization seriously, could go.

"That's all for now. Take a break for the next couple of days."

Green turned and walked towards the door.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he saw a middle-aged woman walking hurriedly towards him.

Green stared in disbelief and took a half-step back.

Wow, this lady is ruthless? She came downstairs right to confront me?

Upon seeing Green, the older woman quickened her pace, calling out with a worried expression:

"My God, you've broken the door! Let's talk this out first, please don't hit the child."

"No, I just used a small stick to teach her a lesson; I didn't use any force at all."

Green's lips twitched; he was now in a difficult position to extricate himself.

The old woman was dressed simply, wearing wooden slippers. Although she wasn't sallow from hunger, she was still quite thin.

The old woman grabbed Green's wrist and pulled him aside.

"Young man, the old lady upstairs didn't get a good look at you. Someone dressed like you probably isn't from around here, is he?"

Before Green could answer, the old lady had already brainstormed the whole story.

"I understand now. That poor woman must be your mistress. You rich people are despicable; you keep mistresses but don't even buy them a decent house."

"They gave birth to your child, I just caught a glimpse of her, it looked like a daughter. And what did you do? You got completely drunk and tried to hit them!"

After saying that, the old woman sniffed, her expression becoming somewhat puzzled.

"Why does it not smell of alcohol?"

"This is utterly absurd! What is all this about? It's a misunderstanding, ma'am, please let go. I have urgent business to attend to!"

Green was completely overwhelmed by the old lady's barrage of words and now all he wanted was to break free and run away.

What are you all arguing about?

Hearing the noise, Mary came out of the house out of curiosity.

When the old woman saw Meili covered in bandages, her eyes practically blazed with fury.

"You damned bastard, how could you beat a child like this!"

She stepped back a few paces, picked up a plank from the ground for self-defense, and shouted loudly for help from her old friends.

"Martha! Rossi! Come out here and help me! We have to teach this bastard a lesson today!"

The oil lamps in the nearby rooms lit up immediately in response.

"I've been wanting to stop this for a long time! Last year, a woman was beaten to death by her drunken husband. We absolutely cannot let this happen again today."

"Just you wait, I'll shovel him to death!"

"You guys are poisonous!" Green said guiltily, distancing himself from the old woman and pleading for help from Elsa inside the house.

"Elsa, come out and explain this to me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Elsa slowly walked over, wearing a black robe that completely covered her beautiful figure.

At this moment, the cold-blooded killer was behaving like a housewife who had suffered a great injustice.

She knelt down, trembling, and hugged Mary tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

They looked exactly like a mother and daughter who had gone through thick and thin together.

"Kind-hearted Oppas, please don't make things difficult for our husband. If his real wife finds out, we'll definitely be killed."
