The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Lost in her thoughts, Nishimiya Shoko once again tilted her pretty face up, revealing a fawning smile.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Shoko appears gentle and kind on the surface, but she is actually quite sensitive, insecure, and has a habit of trying to please others. She is afraid of making others uncomfortable or getting into arguments. When faced with problems, she prioritizes the feelings of others and puts herself in a humble position... She can be described as a typical troubled girl.

If you encounter a dungeon that specifically targets psychological vulnerabilities, it will definitely be extremely dangerous.

Therefore, we must adjust... I mean, we must reform!

You apologized again.

Kiyono Makoto narrowed his eyes, his tone becoming dangerous:

"Looks like we need to punish Shoko-kun properly."

"Huh?"

Nishimiya Shoko held her breath nervously, gripping the beverage can tightly in her hand.

What will Kiyono-kun's punishment be?

Could it be like in the comics...?

No, impossible!

Kiyono-kun isn't that kind of boy!

Although she couldn't guess the specifics of the punishment, Nishimiya Shoko was quite certain it wouldn't be anything lewd.

"...I've thought of the punishment."

Seino Makoto sat down next to Shoko and held up one finger:

"For the first punishment, keep it simple... Shoko, name three of your strengths."

"Huh?"

Nishimiya Shoko opened her eyes wide and looked over blankly.

"You heard me right, the punishment is to name three good qualities."

Kiyono Makoto urged, "Speak quickly."

For anyone else, this punishment would be no challenge, but for Shoko, it was clearly not easy.

"I...I have no redeeming qualities..."

Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face quickly turned red, and she hurriedly looked down at her toes, shaking her head repeatedly.

Extremely insecure girls are always like this: when something happens, they always blame themselves first, and then subconsciously believe that they have no merits and are worthless.

"Who said there aren't any left?"

Kiyono Makoto's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Shoko's hands.

The girl had snow-white skin and slender, long fingers; she looked like she could easily be a hand model.

"Shoko-san has very beautiful hands."

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face flushed crimson, her fingers curled up nervously, and even the tips of her ears turned a rosy hue.

Kiyono Makoto continued:

"His second strength is his serious attitude towards learning. He learned to swim in just two days, which is amazing."

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko remained silent with her head down, only a faint blush rising on her slender neck.

Kiyono Makoto took a sip of his drink:

"The third advantage is that glass is very popular with children. She could be a kindergarten teacher in the future. The proof is that elementary school students specifically come to you so you can pat their heads."

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko quietly raised her eyes and looked at the boy beside her.

Do I really have that many strengths?

Kiyono Makoto tilted his head back, took a sip of his drink, and glanced over:

"I've listed the three advantages for you, now I'll repeat them."

"Um, that..."

Nishimiya Shoko stammered, wanting to refuse out of shame.

"Say it again quickly."

Kiyono Makoto's tone was dangerous, "Otherwise, I'll praise Shoko-san loudly enough for the whole swimming pool to hear."

"No, please don't!"

Nishimiya Shoko quickly widened her round eyes and shook her head in shame.

Praising myself so loudly...it's so embarrassing!

"If you don't want me to do anything reckless, then hurry up and tell me."

Kiyono Makoto began the countdown, "I'll give you only ten seconds."

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko shyly twisted her fingers together, struggled for a moment, and finally spoke shyly, her voice so soft it was barely audible:

"I...I have very beautiful hands."

"I learned to swim today, that's awesome!"

"And...and it's also very popular with children..."

After sporadically praising herself, Nishimiya Shoko seemed to have burned out and hurriedly raised her hands to cover her cheeks.

But besides shame, a strange emotion quietly sprouted in my heart.

(I'm so ordinary, I always drag others down... Do I really have that many good points?)

"Very good, punishment over."

Kiyono Makoto nodded in satisfaction, finished his canned drink in one gulp, and said, "Hurry up and drink, then swim a lap, and then go buy a swimsuit."

Playing with a young girl's sense of shame occasionally can indeed bring pleasure.

Half an hour later.

Makoto Kiyono and Shoko Nishimiya left the swimming pool together and took the train to Ikebukuro.

Swimsuits can be bought anywhere, so I'll head straight to Ikebukuro and see what surprises await in the blind boxes.

"...Tobu Department Store, here."

Kiyono Makoto glanced at the time on his phone and nodded in satisfaction.

It's 4:50 PM now, just in time for the daily blind box purchase announcement.

"Shoko-kun, let's go buy blind boxes first."

"it is good."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded obediently, without asking why.

A few minutes later.

With Shoko by his side, Kiyono Makoto went to the third floor of the mall and found a row of machines near the fire escape. There were more than twenty of them, including blind box machines, gashapon machines, and claw machines.

"...This is the blind box vending machine closest to the fire escape."

Kiyono Makoto quickly found his target.

The machine was covered with posters of various anime, including One Piece, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Love Live!, and many other familiar characters.

"Hmm... Hinako's Notes?"

Upon seeing the group of cute young girls, Kiyono Makoto's expression immediately became subtle.

Hinako Note needs no introduction; it's a classic cute manga. But just a few days ago, someone revealed a shocking secret: the manga's author, Mitsuki-sensei, has become a "welfare girl" (a woman who sells explicit content), with content so explicit it's jaw-dropping.

That said, the reason why the manga "Hinako Note" ended was not because it lacked commercial value and was stopped, but because Mitsuki-sensei herself didn't want to draw anymore and clearly stated that she wanted to draw 18+ works, which is the same as Eriri's hobby.

It was exactly five o'clock.

Kiyono Makoto inserted a coin and purchased the anime blind box provided in the information.

Let me see what surprises await.

Makoto Kiyono eagerly anticipates opening the blind box and discovering a Honoka Kousaka figure inside.

"Could it be a hidden limited edition?"

Makoto Kiyono took out his phone to search for it and found that it was not like that at all; it was just an ordinary figure.

"That's it?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly.

I didn't feel much surprise; in fact, I was completely unmoved.

"If it were just a regular figurine, the daily news wouldn't have highlighted it specifically..."

Kiyono Makoto pondered for two seconds, then suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Start term observation".

A few seconds later.

Two keywords quietly appeared above the figure.

[Entry: Nendoroid (White)]

[Entry: Energetic Person (Purple)]

"There's a purple entry?"

Kiyono Makoto's eyes lit up slightly, and he decisively expanded the attribute entries.

[Entry: Energetic Master. Increases mental energy recovery speed. When close to another player, both will share this entry's effect, with mental energy recovery speed increased up to 200%.]

After reviewing the entry's attributes, Kiyono Makoto instantly understood:

"...So you're going to use patches to replenish mana, right?"

Chapter 97 Obsessed with Glass, Unable to Extricate Himself.

"Applying a spell restores mana... a very useful attribute."

Kiyono Makoto's eyes lit up slightly.

"Now that's a real surprise!"

An ordinary figurine would be worthless, but a figurine with a purple attribute is definitely a pleasant surprise.

As for why the figurine has a purple tag... the world is so big, there are always secrets that ordinary people can't understand.

Seiichi Kiyono has never had the habit of digging deep into things.

The problem now is...

Should I add the entry to my profile?

Kiyono Makoto hesitated.

Humans have their limits, items have a limit to the number of attributes they can hold, and players are no exception.

Therefore, the ideal configuration is naturally a full set of gold-tier attributes, but the attribute "Stick Mana Replenishment" is extremely useful.

When players cast spells, most skills consume resources, and mental energy is the so-called 'mana bar'. When casting spells consecutively, the consumption of mental energy will increase even further.

Take Zhai Li as an example. [Ma Liang with the Magic Brush] is a standard mana drainer. His mental energy drops rapidly. Tiga's transformation limit is three minutes, but if Zhai Li goes all out, he will collapse on the ground with a splitting headache after just one minute.

"Water magic is also a huge mana drain... that's it."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Kiyono Makoto finally decided to go back, strip the entry, and then add it to himself.

The entry can not only be used by oneself, but also help others restore their mental strength. As the team leader, it is natural to take on the responsibility of taking care of the team members.
