Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

It hurts when the wind blows into your eyes.

Hot raindrops fell onto the unfamiliar earthy yellow land.

It was a barren land, dry and dry for thousands of miles.

It's so monotonous that it makes people feel sad subconsciously.

When Sylphy came to her senses, they had already landed somewhere below. She looked around and saw that the surroundings were no different, but she instinctively felt that this place was very familiar.

Her brother's voice turned completely cold, and his eyes lost all warmth and emotion, as if the hesitation and sadness before were all her illusions, but Sylphy knew very well that her brother had just closed his heart again.

What should she do now...

Sylphy felt very confused, whether it was the situation in her hometown, her relatives, her friends, or her brother.

She felt like she was the only one who could do something, but she seemed to be unable to do anything.

Gawain's voice rang out again, pulling Sylphy back from the abyss.

"Let me sort out the current situation."

"Most importantly, Sylphy, you don't have to worry too much. All the people, or rather, all the animals, within the disaster's affected area were not directly killed by the disaster. Instead, they were transferred to somewhere in the [Human World], just like us. We can temporarily assume that this transfer was random."

"In other words, no one's life is in immediate danger. They're just facing the threat of being relocated. If Mom and Dad are staying with Paul and the others, they'll likely be relocated together. This isn't worse than we anticipated."

"The Boreas family is protected by Rudy and Gilena, who I sent back. Alice is also able to handle things on her own. However, the situation of the others is uncertain."

However, Sylphy couldn't hear the rest of the sentence clearly.

She just noticed blankly that her brother was calling "Dad, Mom", even though he had been crying before... Her eyes subconsciously became sore, but fortunately she was still crying, and she held back her tears so that her mistake was not exposed.

“There are several good news at the moment:”

"First, I have a general understanding of the principles of disasters. The capital has also been notified in advance, so post-disaster rescue efforts should be organized quickly."

"Secondly, we are still here, and the only major loss is Rudy. With Rudy's magical power, it will only take a week at most for him to return to Fitoya Territory and reunite with us."

"third."

Gawain stamped his feet, and the soil more than ten meters behind him began to shake. The ground cracked, and a huge matte black metal square tower rose from the ground. The exposed part of the thing was nearly six meters high, two meters wide at the top, and four meters wide at the bottom.

"The disaster only affected a limited area, so most of the money I'd saved over the years is still there. However, the weapons and other items were all in the warehouse, and everything in my house was gone."

Speaking of this, even Gawain, who had forced himself to return to an absolutely rational state, couldn't help but look stinky.

He opened a hatch on one side as a demonstration, and inside were boxes of magic stones and magic crystals, as well as mountains of ultra-rare metals and various top-grade materials, all of which were purchased from around the world with most of the profits of the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce in recent years.

Gao Wen has also understood one thing in recent years: once you have enough money, buying things is even more convenient than just robbing them.

Close the hatch and let the square tower sink back into the ground.

Gawain continued calmly:

"With these assets as the foundation of our operations and our strength as the core of our operations, the rescue operation in Fitoya Territory can begin now."

Sylphy quickly walked over and took her brother's hand:

"Don't worry about me, brother. If this is a random transfer, the sooner we start a rescue operation, the less likely everyone will be in danger, right? Let's start thinking of a countermeasure right away!"

Gawain's eyes softened. In order to save magic power, he simply picked up a few suitable large stones from the ground nearby, cut them into suitable shapes with his hand knife, and arranged them.

Sitting on the original site of our home, my sister and I wrote and drew on the stone slab and started chatting:

"Even if I'm fast, the efficiency of the search led by me is still very low, so we must mobilize as many living forces as possible."

"We have determined that the destination of the transfer is random and the scope of the transfer is global, with no consideration of ocean areas."

Sylphy said:

"We should mobilize the Asura Kingdom first. Brother, you don't intend to hide your strength anymore, right? Then let the kingdom take responsibility."

"After that, you will go to the major cities on each continent, in order of danger, to demonstrate your strength and issue missing person requests, demanding they treat the victim with kindness and protect them. Then, you will issue requests to lower-level cities based on their size."

"The third step is to establish responsible and strong teams to receive victims from all continents and provide adequate compensation to those who help them."

"At the same time, we also need to organize the reconstruction of Fitoya Territory. No matter how many forces enter the field, we only need to supervise and assist."

Sylphy finished her thoughts calmly.

The content was very reasonable, so reasonable that she felt ashamed.

Sylphy stood up and walked to her brother, holding his head in her arms, and coaxing him like a child, just like she had many times before:

"It's all thanks to my brother."

She kissed her brother's forehead tenderly:

"Please, rescue everyone and rebuild our home."

For the time being, there will no longer be the peaceful life that my brother wants.

Then she will free her brother.

She will bear all the sins her brother has committed.

"Do it however is most efficient, brother."

"Afterwards, I want to bring my parents to live with us in Luoya. Is that okay? We can build a two-story house then, right?"

It doesn’t matter even if we can’t sleep together. As long as we can still be a family, we still have a home, and my brother still has relatives, that’s enough.

Gawain took the initiative to pull up Sylphy's little finger.

"We'll make a promise and it won't change for ten thousand years."

Note: The reference is to the novel's description of "only vast grasslands, endless grasslands." and "the only town is a refugee camp." (Luo Qixi's later observations).

Personally, I think the animation left a lot of ruins to set off the mood and the feeling of disaster. After all, Rudy and his friends have been away for three years (even longer if it was Buena Village), so something has to be left to evoke memories.

Chapter 3 Action

Gawain and Sylphy chose to act separately.

Sylphy, who has more magic power, stayed in the Fitoya territory with a box of magic crystals on her back. Her job is to bring rainfall over a large area, on a provincial scale.

In order to ensure the rapid recovery of the ecology of Fitoya Territory, they do not plan to wait for nature to correct itself. Instead, they will first replenish water to the exposed deep soil, and then take advantage of the good weather in late summer to sow seeds over a large area. In this way, the land will be green again within a month, and plants will consolidate this fragile land.

Gawain was in charge of going to Ars.

The capital of the Asura Kingdom.

The richest and most prosperous city in the world.

The person Gawain was looking for was James Boreas Greylat, the next head of the Boreas family, the minister of the kingdom, and the representative of the Boreas family in the royal capital of Ars.

With the disappearance of Lord Saulos and Acting Lord Philip, the responsibility for the territory naturally fell to this man. Gawain had met James several times, and in his opinion, James wasn't a bad guy. His abilities and personality were somewhere between Saulos and Philip. If it weren't for his many half-measures, Gawain would have preferred James to Philip.

Half a minute after saying goodbye to Sylphy, Gawain arrived at the Boreas branch house in the royal capital. Although it was called a branch house, it was actually much more luxurious than Roya's castle, but the area was much smaller.

Upon seeing Gawain in his red and white Vistar uniform, the gatekeepers at the Boreas branch residence were stunned. It wasn't until Gawain's icy gaze swept over them that they realized the strangely dressed man was Lord Gawain Vitrudia. Both Patriarch Sauros and Lord James had instructed them that Lord Gawain's visit required no appointment or notification; they were to be allowed in directly.

Entering the familiar mansion, the butler immediately served the high-end black tea that the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce purchased most frequently, but Gawain just sat on the red velvet sofa with his eyes closed to rest. A few minutes later, a strong man in a green military-style coat hurriedly pushed open the door and sat down opposite Gawain with an apologetic smile.

This guy looked like a younger version of Saulos, and his clothing style was the usual style of the men in Boreas, except that he had more medals and other things adorning his chest, making it a bit exaggerated.

His personality was somewhat similar to Sauros's, and he spoke directly without any greetings:

"Mr. Gawain, what brings you here this time? Is this a sign of a magical disaster in Fitoa Territory? If it's something like that, a larger-scale mobilization is already underway."

James looked down on a place as poor as his own, but this disdain was simply a reluctance to be trapped in Fitoya like his father. Fitoya was the lifeblood of the Boreas family. If he lost his territory, even if he was a minister of the kingdom, he would be nothing more than a clown, a figurehead for a generation. The four guardian families of Greyrat would likely be reduced to three.

Gawain calmly opened his eyes, his always clear eyes now tinged with a few glaring bloodshot streaks. He said coldly:

"The armed mobilization can stop now."

James subconsciously sat forward:

"Have the signs of disaster disappeared?"

"No, just now, the magical disaster has already occurred." Gawain finally picked up the teacup. The familiar taste passed through his throat, moistening it before he was able to continue.

"The Feitoya Territory no longer exists."

James looked at Gawain blankly:

"does not exist?"

"The entire Fituoya Territory, including parts of Donadi Territory, Milpots Territory, Asura Royal Territory, and the Red Dragon Mountains outside the kingdom were wiped out by the magical disaster that just occurred."

"Everything above 20 centimeters below the surface has disappeared, everything you can think of."

"The only good news is that the creatures in the affected area were not directly harmed. Instead, they were transported out of the affected area by a large-scale phenomenon similar to teleportation magic."

"In other words, the people in the affected areas are still alive, at least at the moment the disaster occurred. If nothing unexpected happens, they are now randomly scattered throughout the human world, waiting for rescue."

After speaking it out, Gao Wen felt much better.

In the next half hour, he poured everything that James needed to do into James's head. James, who was forced to calm down, could only try hard to remember and think bitterly.

Now that Sauros is gone, he is the head of the family. The Boreas family belongs to him, so he naturally has to find a way to recover the losses.

"Next, you will go to see the king."

"After all, even the edge of the royal territory has been affected. It shouldn't be difficult to verify the truth of what I said."

The Magic Glider is also one of the flagship products of the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce, and its sales are even more restricted than that of the custom-made Magic Gun. However, in the royal capital of Ars, there is naturally no shortage of such items, not to mention that the Royal Capital's [Magician Corps] is said to have already equipped it with weapons.

When James saw Gao Wen, who had become his backbone, was about to get up and leave, he immediately stood up and tried to stop him:

"Mr. Gawain, won't you come with me to see the king? As the person who knows the situation best, if you don't show up..."

Gawain stood up and shook his head indifferently. He said rationally:

"Even if it's someone who witnessed it firsthand, it's only one side of the story. The king's decision will ultimately depend on on-site investigation by trusted forces. I won't waste my time going with him. Next, I need to go to the Chamber of Commerce branch and mobilize the forces I have."

James understood.

Gawain seemed to take the matter of Fitoya's case very seriously, but he had no intention of collaborating with him. He merely came to inform him and motivate him. They were not collaborators, but simply happened to share the same goals. Gawain, as before, simply ignored him.

Even now.

James's hypocritical advice:

"The vast majority of the Chamber of Commerce's power is concentrated in Roya, right? What's the point of you going to the branch? How about I introduce you to the First Prince? His Highness Gravel will definitely lend you his power."

Gao Wen was too lazy to explain to him. After all, the delay was long enough.

"I have my own plans."

Gawain left.

James gradually calmed down and sobered up. After pacing around the reception room for a few times, he finally took out some letter paper and quickly wrote down the important information he had just learned. Then he called the butler:

"Send this secret letter to His Highness Gravel's residence quickly, the sooner the better."

"Help me change my clothes and deliver an urgent message to the palace!"

"I want to see the king."

Chapter 4 Hibiscus

Early morning of June 1, 417 Jialong calendar year

Silver Palace.

The largest, most magnificent and most extravagant palace in the world.

The White City, located in the heart of Ars, is a dark place filled with endless desires and filth.

This was a day like any other.

"Your Highness Ariel, aren't you going to have tea at your usual spot in the Rose Garden today?"

The handsome knight with bright chestnut hair followed his master through the familiar area.

The beautiful girl in a white dress and blonde hair turned her head and smiled, explaining in a lively tone:

"I heard from the maid last night that hibiscus is in season in the Hibiscus Forest right now, with big pink and white flowers blooming everywhere."

The handsome guardian knight suddenly realized something, and some interesting associations suddenly occurred to him. He then followed the topic of his master's preference and began to talk:
