The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

As for using mana replenishment techniques to get close to girls... I have absolutely no such dirty thoughts!

Put away the figurines.

Kiyono Makoto glanced over and saw Nishimiya Shoko standing not far away in front of the claw machine, leaning slightly forward, her eyes sparkling as she stared intently at the plush toys inside.

"Does Shoko like Sanrio dolls?"

Makoto Kiyono walked over to Shoko's side.

"......dislike."

Nishimiya Shoko blushed and quickly shook her head.

He said he didn't like it, but his eyes were practically overflowing with excitement!

"If you like it, grab it and see how lucky you are."

Kiyono Makoto uttered the four-word mantra, "Since we're already here..."

Nishimiya Shoko shook her head again, gently biting her lower lip, and softly replied:

"Um... I've never played the claw machine before."

"Never caught one before? Then you definitely need to experience it."

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly. "Catching claw machines is one of the hundred things everyone should experience in life. Shoko-san really wants to try it, doesn't she?"

Nishimiya Glass: "..."

没错.

I really want to try it.

But I'll only cause trouble; what if I break the machine?

"Never mind..."

As usual, Nishimiya Shoko instinctively chose to back down, but as soon as she turned around, Kiyono Makoto grabbed her right hand.

"Kiyo, Kiyono-kun?"

Feeling the warmth emanating from her palm, Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face quickly flushed red, and she shyly looked up at him.

"Since we're already here, we have to experience it."

Kiyono Makoto's tone left no room for argument, "Otherwise, I'll hold your hand and never let go."

Nishimiya Glass: "..."

I'm not afraid of that kind of threat!

If it were anyone else, Shoko would definitely resist, but it's Kiyono-kun now... no problem at all.

Despite her fearlessness, under Makoto Kiyono's 'coercion,' Shoko finally mustered her courage:

"Then... shall I give it a try?"

"Even a three-year-old can play this; it's very simple."

Kiyono Makoto led Shoko back to the claw machine. "Just insert a coin, then control the button and joystick."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded gently, took out a coin from her cat-shaped wallet, inserted it into the machine, and then opened her eyes wide, anticipating her first time playing the claw machine.

"Hmm... Got it."

With a gentle wiggle of the joystick, Nishimiya Shoko carefully controlled it, and it landed steadily on a pink cat plush toy.

"Stay calm, don't panic."

Kiyono Makoto said calmly, "It's not over until the doll falls out."

"Uh-huh."

As the cat plush toy was picked up, Nishimiya Shoko quickly held her breath, her eyes fixed on the joystick as she carefully controlled it.

Unfortunately, before the plush toy could be moved to the exit, the grappling hook quietly released its grip, and the cat plush toy fell to the ground with a thud.

"...Fell down."

Nishimiya Shoko lightly bit her lower lip, and the light in her eyes quickly dimmed.

"There's still a chance, keep trying."

Kiyono Makoto gently comforted him, "It's normal to fail the first time."

Nishimiya Shoko took a deep breath, this time being even more careful, and grabbed the fallen cat plush toy again. Unfortunately, when she moved it to the exit, the plush toy rolled off again.

"Waaah..."

Watching the doll roll away again, Nishimiya Shoko's pink cheeks puffed up quietly, subtly attracting Kiyono Makoto's attention.

Shoko has always been gentle and docile, quiet and unassuming, but at this moment, she unexpectedly revealed a girlish expression, which was surprisingly adorable.

Noticing Kiyono Makoto's gaze, Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face flushed slightly, but she quickly suppressed her slightly angry expression and continued playing the claw machine.

Unfortunately, the claw machine remained silent, only offering empty threats.

The third attempt also ended in failure.

Having used up all her chances, Nishimiya Shoko's entire demeanor darkened, and a forced smile appeared on her face.

"Kiyono-kun, let's go..."

If you leave now, you'll definitely toss and turn all night, unable to sleep, constantly dwelling on today's failure!

"Let me try."

Kiyono Makoto decisively stepped forward, inserted a coin, and then casually flicked the joystick.

No need for skills or mystical methods; just rely on the "Strong Luck" attribute.

*Smack*

Seino Makoto pressed the button.

The grappling hook descended from mid-air and caught the cat plush toy that Shoko had been longing for.

Immediately after, Seiichi Kiyono pushed the joystick, and the grappling hook began to shake violently.

"That was too much of a move..."

Nishimiya Shoko's eyes widened in tension, her heart leaping into her throat.

The next second, the detached doll collided with another doll, bounced off, tumbled, and rolled directly into the exit.

*Clatter*

The cat plush toy fell down.

"Hey...did you catch him?"

Nishimiya Shoko's beautiful eyes widened in shock.

"Just basic stuff."

Seino Makoto bent down, picked up the doll, and handed it to Shoko.

"for you."

Nishimiya Shoko shook her head instinctively.

"Hurry up and take it."

Kiyono Makoto's tone left no room for argument, "Consider it a reward for learning to swim today."

"...Thank you, Kiyono-kun."

Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face flushed as she took the doll with both hands and hugged it tightly to her chest.

*Clatter*

Another doll fell down.

"Kiyono-kun is amazing..."

Nishimiya Shoko let out a soft cry.

Kiyono Makoto handed over the doll, casually ruffling the girl's hair; the soft touch was irresistible. "Since Shoko praised me, you can have the doll."

Nishimiya Glass: "..."

*Clatter*

With Kiyono Makoto's casual maneuvering, the third plush toy fell down, making the claw machine 100% successful.

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko quickly pursed her pink lips and remained silent, not giving Kiyono Makoto another chance to give her the dolls.

Seino Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Since Shoko-san didn't say anything and disturb me, you can have the doll."

Nishimiya Glass: "..."

"Let's go buy swimsuits."

Kiyono Makoto was quite satisfied with his performance and turned to leave.

Nishimiya Shoko lowered her head, glanced at the three cat plush toys in her arms, her pink lips curving upwards into a smile of pleasure, her eyes sparkling as she followed Kiyono Makoto with small, quick steps.

Chapter 98: There is no Shura Field.

A moment later.

Kiyono Makoto, carrying Glass, arrived at a women's swimwear store.

"Welcome, both guests."

A female salesperson greeted them with a smile.

Kiyono Makoto nodded politely, intending to let Shoko choose a swimsuit from the shop assistant while he slacked off for a while. However, the shop assistant's suggestion of matching swimsuits instantly made Shoko blush and hide behind Kiyono Makoto in embarrassment.

"Fine... let's choose ourselves."

Kiyono Makoto helplessly pressed his temples.

"Please make yourselves at home, both of you."

The shop assistant bowed politely.

Seino Makoto took Shoko for a quick stroll:

"Shoko, pick two swimsuits you like, then go to the fitting room to try them on. If they're not comfortable, change them."

"it is good."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded slightly, looking at the dazzling array of swimsuits, a conflicted expression appearing on her pretty face.

A minute passed.

Two minutes passed.

Three minutes passed... Nishimiya Shoko still looked conflicted.

"Shoko-kun, you actually have trouble making decisions?"

Kiyono Makoto stared at the past in silence.

Nishimiya Shoko blushed slightly and quickly shook her head:

"Because, because the swimsuits are all so pretty..."

Excuse.

Having a hard time choosing is simply having a hard time choosing; it has nothing to do with whether something looks good or not!

"Hurry up and choose."

Kiyono Makoto lowered his voice, "Otherwise, I'll choose for you."

Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face quickly flushed red. She looked down at her toes and said in a weak voice:

"...Please, Kiyono-kun."

Makoto Kiyono: "......"
