The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

"Kiyono-kun, thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to me."

Kato Megumi naturally took the ingredients:

"Hey, where's Yukinoshita-kun?"

"I ran into her sister..."

Kiyono Makoto briefly explained the reason, and then said:

"I'll go charge my phone first, then I'll come back and help later."

As I stepped onto the second floor, the door to the guest room opened, and a girl wearing a black and white maid outfit and glasses walked out of the room.

"..."

Rio Futaba's face flushed slightly, and she instinctively turned to hide back in her room.

"Wait a moment."

Kiyono Makoto decisively stepped forward, reached out to brace himself against the door, and stared intently into the room:

"Lord Futaba, I'm in dire need of help!"

"......What?"

"Please grant me the blessing for today."

Kiyono Makoto exerted a little force with his hand, pushed open the door and entered the room, looking directly at Futaba.

The science-oriented girl wore a classic black and white maid dress, complete with a standard black ruffled apron and a cinched waist that accentuated her slender figure. She wore a matching white lace maid headscarf and black over-the-knee stockings. Her long hair, which usually flowed loosely over her shoulders, was now simply tied into a ponytail, giving her a clean and refreshing look.

Besides, her impressive bust, usually hidden beneath a white lab coat, now appears exceptionally grand under the fitted maid outfit... In short, it's a huge contrast.

If we usually describe Shuangye in her white coat as rational, calm, and composed.

At this moment, the maid Futaba exudes an astonishing charm that makes it impossible to look away.

Soft, sweet, and lovely... it makes you want to praise it and savor it.

Noticing Kiyono's intense gaze, Rio Futaba unconsciously turned her face away, her ears turning slightly red, and tried her best to explain in a nonchalant tone:

"I was forging equipment just now and used the maid outfit item card. The effect was really good... I'll change out right away."

"No need to change it."

Kiyono Makoto quickly raised his hand to stop him, and didn't hold back his praise:

"This maid outfit suits Futaba perfectly, it's 100% cute, please let me look at it a little longer."

"Cute and all... it's just ordinary fabric."

Faced with such straightforward praise, Rio Futaba blushed slightly and instinctively clutched the hem of her maid's skirt, clearly embarrassed.

But upon closer inspection, one can see that a subtle smile subtly curved the corners of the girl's lips.

It's obvious.

Shy as I am, happy... of course I'll be happy too.

No one dislikes being praised, especially genuine praise, and Futaba is no exception.

"Your shoulder must be very sore."

Seino Makoto's gaze fell on Futaba's shoulder, where a glimpse of snow-white skin could be vaguely seen:

"Should we deal with the curse first, or should I give you a massage first?"

Rio Futaba turned her face away:

"...Let's deal with the curse first."

"I'll give you a shoulder massage later." Kiyono Makoto offered two options: "A lap pillow or a hug?"

Mentioning the lap pillow, Rio Futaba's face immediately turned red, and she remembered the first time she used a lap pillow, when Kiyono accidentally bit her...

"A hug is enough."

Rio Futaba made a quick choice.

"clear."

Kiyono Makoto decisively opened his arms, took two steps forward, and pulled the little maid into his embrace.

A soft and bouncy pressure immediately came from my chest.

"Well......"

Rio Futaba gave a soft hum and subconsciously raised her arms, placing them on Makoto Kiyono's waist.

(The body started moving on its own...)

Upon realizing her own actions, Rio Futaba's face quickly flushed red, her ear tips burning, and she buried her face in Makoto Kiyono's chest.

Thump, thump.

The boy's rapid and powerful heartbeat traveled clearly through his bones and muscles to his ears.

(Kiyono's heart is beating so fast...)

(Just like me, they're both shy, aren't they?)

It's a pity that Makoto Kiyono doesn't have mind-reading abilities, otherwise he would definitely have made a sarcastic remark: his racing heart wasn't due to shyness, but simply a biological instinct.

Holding a soft, sweet-smelling little maid in your arms, it's impossible for a normal person to remain calm.

"...The curse is being fulfilled very quickly."

The height difference between the two was large enough that Makoto Kiyono's chin rested perfectly on Rio Futaba's small head, and he could clearly smell the fragrance of lavender shampoo.

Rio Futaba blinked, quickly realizing what was happening:

"Is it because...I'm wearing a maid outfit?"

“That’s most likely it.” Kiyono Makoto agreed. “It seems that different outfits can affect the collection of pleasant emotions… Next time we help each other, Futaba, please be sure to wear a maid outfit.”

Rio Futaba blushed and muttered under her breath, "...You idiot Seino, it's clearly just that you have a preference for maid outfits."

"You misspoke," Kiyono Makoto corrected. "It's not that I'm interested in maid outfits for everyone, but I have a particular fondness for Futaba's maid outfits."

Of course, Kiyono Makoto silently added in his mind:

"Besides Futaba, Senpai, Eriri, and Megumi... everyone loves maid outfits."

"..."

Time slipped away quietly, second by second.

Rio Futaba felt her body growing weaker and weaker, and her head was spinning.

"Should this be okay?"

"Let me see..." Kiyono Makoto opened the character panel. "The curse is just fulfilled, I'm extremely grateful."

Rio Futaba breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and quickly broke free from Seiji Kiyono's embrace.

Just then, a flying insect flew in through the open window, hovered, and landed on the chandelier on the ceiling.

Kiyono Makoto originally wanted to jump up and grab the bug. With his current basic attributes, he could easily win the world championship in high jump. However, after his gaze fell on Futaba, a slight thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Futaba, please take care of that bug."

"Well......"

Rio Futaba tilted her little face up and looked upwards:

Do you have an electric mosquito swatter at home?

"It doesn't need to be that complicated."

"Huh?"

"All I need to do is lift you up."

As Kiyono Makoto spoke, he reached out with both hands, pinched the soft flesh of Futaba Rio's waist, and lifted the small Futaba up directly.

In the past, he would definitely have been more cautious and wouldn't have dared to act recklessly.

But in the dungeon, we've already kissed... so lifting each other up high is no problem at all.

"Eh?"

Rio Futaba instinctively opened her eyes wide, her body stiffening briefly as if short-circuiting a circuit board, before her face quickly flushed red.

"You idiot... You could have just stood on a chair!"

"The chair will get dirty."

"Wait, you can reach it if you jump, right?"

"I'm worried about damaging the floorboards."

"The floor isn't that fragile!"

"..."

Rio Futaba puffed out her pink cheeks slightly and quickly realized Makoto Kiyono's sinister intentions; he was clearly bullying her on purpose.

"This is infuriating... Put me down right now, or I'll tell everyone!"

Makoto Kiyono was shocked:

"Futaba has learned to tattle?"

"I knew how to do it anyway."

Rio Futaba unconsciously turned her face away, her ear tips turning red.

He's not a child anymore, yet he was still being lifted up high... It's really embarrassing.

Kiyono Makoto quickly replied:

"Let's get rid of the bugs first, then we'll put you down."

"..."

Rio Futaba gently bit her lower lip, tilting her pretty face upwards to look at the insects on the chandelier.

The chandelier that was once out of reach is now easily within arm's reach thanks to the new height.

"call......"

Rio Futaba breathed a sigh of relief after easily catching the insect and looked down.

"We've caught you, put me down right now!"

"It can't even fly? Is that bug an idiot?"

Kiyono Makoto complained while regretfully letting go of Futaba.

"...Pig-headed boy."

After landing, Rio Futaba quickly retreated, covering two meters in one breath, frantically straightening her clothes and hair, then pushing up her glasses, trying to regain her composure.

"If this happens again, I will create a massive burst of synchronized potentials targeting your brain neurons to treat you."

Kiyono Makoto didn't understand:

"It sounds a bit mysterious and impressive... What kind of treatment is that?"

Rio Futaba turned and threw the little beetle out the window, her face tense, and uttered two words:

"......electrotherapy."

Hey, that's not treatment at all, it's execution!

"I'm so sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me, Futaba-sama." Kiyono Makoto was both flexible and assertive. "But when you lifted me up high just now, Futaba, you must have felt happy too, right?"

Rio Futaba unconsciously turned her face away, saying one thing but meaning another:

"...I'm not happy."

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow and said:

"Anyone who lies will never get the seasoning packet in their instant noodles again."

Futaba Rio: "..."

Okay, it's embarrassing, but I was actually a tiny bit happy.
