The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Looks like today is my lucky day..."

The golden card suddenly exploded, turning into tiny streams of light that entered Kiyono Makoto's soul.

"Hmm... Invincible?"

Upon vaguely catching sight of the word 'invincible,' Kiyono Makoto immediately felt a surge of anticipation.

[Ability Card: Bedtime is Invincible]

[Card Rating: Gold]

[Note: Once you hide under the covers, your bed will become an invincible, unassailable territory.]

[Note: This ability only works on 'paranormal' phenomena.]

[Note: To achieve invincibility, you cannot put any part of your body outside the blanket; this is a consensus among all humankind.]

Chapter 167 Yuzuru's Disappearance

"Indeed, invincible..."

Kiyono Makoto's lips twitched slightly, his expectations quickly dashed, and he helplessly covered his forehead.

"But such invincibility has too narrow an application range."

It only works against paranormal phenomena, and you have to hide under the covers – it's clearly a cowardly act of passively taking a beating.

Its abilities can't be called weak; after all, it's a rule-based system. Even if Kayako came, she wouldn't be able to sneak into bed with it.

But to say it's strong... I don't think it's that much stronger.

The overall evaluation can only be given to NPCs; they're neither good enough to be accepted nor worth discarding.

"Unless it's for entering a supernatural instance, I can't think of any other use for it..."

Kiyono Makoto sighed and tried to adjust his mindset.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

dong dong dong.

The knocking was quite urgent, quickly breaking the morning's tranquility.

"Who could it be so early?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly and quickly got up and got out of bed.

The urgent knocking suggests an emergency.

The door opened.

A girl with long, straight black hair wearing bunny pajamas came into view.

It is glass.

"...Kiyono-kun, Yuzuru is missing!"

Nishimiya Shoko grabbed Kiyono Makoto's right hand, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force, her voice filled with worry.

"Stay calm, don't panic, stay composed."

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression turning serious:

"Please explain the situation in more detail first."

at the same time.

Wearing a moon-white nightgown, with her hair slightly disheveled, Yukino walked into the corridor, her arms crossed over her chest. Having just woken up, she looked unusually languid and adorable, clearly having been awakened by Shoko's noise.

"Good morning."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"..."

Their eyes met.

Yukino Yukinoshita quickly turned her pretty face away, choosing to ignore it.

Clearly, although no conviction or sentencing occurred last night, Yukino doesn't intend to speak to Kiyono Makoto anytime soon.

"call......"

Nishimiya Shoko took a deep breath, her pretty face slightly pale, her voice filled with worry:

"I just got up and was about to go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash up when I suddenly saw a message pop up on my phone from my mom saying that Yuzuru had run away from home..."

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow: "Run away from home?"

"Um..." Nishimiya Shoko hesitated for two seconds, then said softly, "Mom and Yuzuru had a fight last night, but we don't know the specific reason yet..."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly:

"Yuzuru is, after all, a middle school student, and he's currently going through his rebellious phase. It's normal for him to run away from home."

“No, it’s definitely not running away from home.” Nishimiya Shoko quickly shook her head, her tone worried. “After receiving the message from my mother, I called Yuzuru immediately.”

"But I couldn't get through on the phone no matter what I did."

"Message sent but not read."

"Even if Yuzuru is angry with his mother, he will never ignore my calls."

"And I asked my mom to check Yuzuru's room. The camera is still there... That's Yuzuru's favorite camera. He always takes it with him when he goes out. If he ran away from home, he definitely wouldn't leave it in his room."

Nishimiya Shoko bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with panic:

"So...so I'm worried that Yuzuru might have encountered an evil player?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, with her arms crossed over her chest, spoke softly upon hearing this:

"If Shoko knows your sister well enough... then that possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of running away from home. There are many reasons why someone might not answer the phone, such as the phone running out of battery or it being broken. Although the camera is very important, it's also possible that it's been forgotten."

Kiyono Makoto pondered for two seconds, then made a decisive decision:

"Discussion alone will not reveal the truth. Let's change our clothes first, then go straight to Shoko's house. If she ran away from home, then find Yuzuru. If she's an evil player... then rescue Yuzuru."

"Uh-huh."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded quickly:

"I'll go back to my room to change right away."

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Makoto Kiyono, said nothing, and silently followed him into the room.

Kiyono Makoto closed the door behind him and changed his clothes while checking the daily news.

A golden exclamation mark silently exploded on my retina, transforming into lines of text.

[Today's Info 1: The side effects of the soul swap will end today]

"...This can be considered good news, albeit barely."

[Today's Intelligence 2: You had a brilliant idea and bought a large enough blanket, which came in handy.]

"A blanket big enough?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly.

While the information was somewhat vague, the blanket is highly likely related to the newly awakened superpower?

In other words... will we encounter paranormal phenomena today?

If that's the case, then we'll have to prepare in advance.

Kiyono Makoto naturally chose to believe the information provided, and promptly opened the Paradise Shop to buy a large quilt. Fortunately, the price was quite cheap, so he didn't feel bad about it.

"There are only two pieces of information, and neither of them has anything to do with Yuzuru..."

Kiyono Makoto was slightly disappointed.

"Oh right, there's also the title ability... I'll verify it later."

A moment later.

The three of them changed their clothes and then met in the living room.

"Has anyone used the title ability before?" Kiyono Makoto took out his camera and got straight to the point. "It can take three photos. We can try it out; maybe we'll get some special information."

Nishimiya Shoko's eyes lit up upon hearing this:

"I haven't tried it yet, Kiyono-kun, please take a picture of me."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly and raised his camera.

Click.

Three photos were quickly produced.

The first photo shows a dilapidated and dimly lit alley, with gray and white colors, like an old photo from the last century. On a broken telephone pole, there is a blurry missing person notice.

The second photo was even stranger; it was completely black.

The third photo shows a short-haired girl in pajamas, hugging her knees, hiding alone in a secluded amusement park. Although her face is not clearly visible, Makoto Kiyono recognized her at a glance.

"...It's Yuzuru!"

Nishimiya Shoko couldn't help but gasp softly.

Yukino Yukinoshita squinted her eyes:

"The scene in the photo is strange; it doesn't look real... Now we can confirm that Shoko's younger sister didn't run away from home, but was caught up in a supernatural event."

After a pause, Yukino Yukinoshita thought of another possibility:

"Could it be a beginner's trial dungeon?"

"Huh?"

Nishimiya Shoko opened her eyes wide in panic and quickly looked at Kiyono Makoto.

"I'll give it a try."

Kiyono Makoto took out the dungeon descent card, imagined Yuzuru's appearance in his mind, and silently recited the other's real name, but unfortunately nothing happened.

“There was no reaction.” Kiyono Makoto quickly shook his head and said, “Yuzuru shouldn’t have been chosen by Paradise.”

"That's the evil player..."

Yukino Yukinoshita reached out and took the camera:

"I'll take the picture."

However, after the camera was pointed at the glass, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly furrowed her brows slightly:

"The camera isn't working; it seems to be broken."

"Let me see."

Makoto Kiyono took the camera, aimed it at Yukino, and pressed the shutter.

Click.

Three photos were quickly produced.

"It seems the camera isn't broken; it just can only take a maximum of three photos of one target..."

Chapter 168 Oh no! Yukino has been kidnapped by an evil spirit!

"The camera isn't broken; it's probably a limitation of the title's ability..."

As Kiyono Makoto spoke, he picked up the three photos that had been spat out.

The first two photos were quite ordinary and unremarkable, but when his gaze fell on the third photo, Kiyono's expression suddenly became subtle.

"Kiyono-kun, what's wrong?"

Nishimiya Shoko asked with concern.
