The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

One minute later.

The entry has been looted. The pufferfish, which was full of energy before, is now in a dying state, only struggling slightly.

Expand the entry.

Kiyono Makoto silently recited this in his heart.

【Pufferfish Poison: When attacking enemies, there is a small chance to trigger pufferfish toxin, which inflicts damage and additional negative status effects such as paralysis and difficulty breathing.】

[Note: Toxin damage is related to the enemy's constitution. The higher the enemy's constitution, the lower the toxin damage, and they may even be immune to it.]

"...That makes perfect sense."

Kiyono Makoto carefully read the notes and felt no disappointment.

Trying to poison Superman with a pufferfish is an impossible idea, but ordinary players aren't Superman. Even with enhanced physiques, they can't completely ignore the pufferfish's poison.

A moment later.

The staff finally finished cooking the pufferfish, and Kiyono Makoto took the pufferfish sashimi and left. On the way, he happened to meet a blonde girl with twin ponytails.

"Kiyono, you've come at the perfect time." Eriri's eyes lit up as she quickly came forward. "Please help me out."

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto stopped in his tracks:

"What kind of help?"

"When I came out of the restroom, I saw a bookstore not far away. I went in and took a look around, and I found a new book that I really love on the shelves." Eriri lowered her voice, her bright blue eyes full of anticipation. "So, could you please ask Kiyono to help me buy it?"

Makoto Kiyono quickly realized: "The work you're talking about is actually a doujinshi, isn't it?"

If it's a legitimate comic, there's no need to ask someone else to help you buy it.

Eriri put her hands on her hips and turned her pretty face away, her ear tips slightly red:

"It is indeed a doujinshi, but I only took it back to study the art style, that's all."

Learn art style by looking at doujinshi?

You don't even believe that yourself, do you?

Eriri gently bit her lower lip and whispered:

"I didn't change my clothes today. If I went to buy them, it would be terrible if I ran into my classmates. But I really want to see them today, so I can only ask Kiyono for help."

The biggest secret has already been exposed to Kiyono Makoto, so there's no need to hide it now.

Kiyono Makoto remained expressionless.

"A boy's reputation is important too, isn't it?"

Is it shameful for girls to buy notebooks, but it's okay for boys to buy them?

This is sexism!

"Here you go." Eriri took out her wallet and simply pulled out two Fukuzawa Yukichi bills, showing off her wealth. "After you buy the notebook I want, the rest is your errand fee."

Makoto Kiyono swiftly accepted the banknotes and clasped his hands together in prayer:

"Lady Eriri, please feel free to give me your orders in the future."

Yinglili: "..."

A moment later.

Kiyono Makoto walked out of the bookstore carrying a bag of books, which contained the manga and doujinshi that Eriri had specified.

"They're all inside."

Kiyono Makoto went to the corner and handed the shopping bag to Eriri, who was eagerly waiting.

"Hehehe..."

Eriri took the shopping bag with both hands, her eyes sparkling, and gave it a perfect score.

But the next second.

A cold, ruthless, and grand voice suddenly rang in their ears.

[A player has been detected triggering a special scenario]

[Large-scale real-world instance now open...]

Chapter 40 Eriri, be my daughter!

"what?"

"A real-world copy?!"

Eriri's smile froze instantly.

"No, no!"

"I just bought this notebook, and I haven't had a chance to read it yet!"

No, you still care about notebooks now?

You should be concerned about whether you can survive the dungeon!

The park's cold, indifferent voice continued to ring out, regardless of Eriri's will.

[All players, please prepare yourselves.]

You will be teleported into the instance in three minutes.

"...What happened to the promised good luck?"

Kiyono Makoto took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Being drawn back into a real-life scenario is pointless to escape or complain; the only thing to do is to respond proactively.

Kiyono Makoto looked at the pale-faced blonde girl with twin ponytails beside him, and was about to speak when his phone started vibrating first.

Upon taking it out, I was surprised to see that it was a call from Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Junior, I suddenly heard a notification from Paradise in my mind, saying that someone has triggered a real-world instance..."

As soon as the call connected, Kasumigaoka Utaha's tense voice rang out.

Seino Makoto responded in a low voice:

"I received it too."

Utaha Kasumigaoka secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this:

"Three minutes left, where are you, junior?"

Makoto Kiyono: "Next to Kadokawa Bookstore on the third floor of the mall."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Wait for me, I'm coming right away."

"..."

Just as Kiyono Makoto was about to put his phone away, he suddenly noticed a message pop up on the screen:

"Kiyono-kun, a strange voice suddenly echoed in my mind, telling me to get ready... Could it be related to that monster?"

Makoto Kiyono had previously instructed Megumi Kato that if she encountered anything strange, she should not hesitate to tell him immediately.

Kato Megumi clearly took it to heart, as she sent a message immediately.

"A notification from the park?"

Kiyono Makoto's gaze suddenly sharpened.

There are two ways to become a player.

The first option is to be directly selected, pass the beginner's trial, and unlock the qualification of a formal player.

The second option is to be drawn into a real-world instance; if you survive, you can also gain player status.

Neither method is inherently better or worse; for ordinary people, both are simply disastrous.

Makoto Kiyono simply sent a message:

"I'll explain later. Is your senior with you?"

Megumi Kato: "Kasumigaoka-senpai just went out."

Makoto Kiyono: "Quickly catch up with the senior and come over with her."

"..."

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath, put away his phone, and looked at the blonde girl with twin ponytails in front of him:

"Eri, Senpai and Kato are on their way."

"Huh?"

"They have all received notifications from the park."

"Wait a minute." Eriri tilted her head up, her azure eyes full of confusion. "Kasumigaoka Utaha is one thing, but Kato-kun isn't a player, is he?"

Kiyono Makoto whispered:

“Some players have posted on the forum before that ordinary people can occasionally be drawn into real-world instances.”

Eriri: "...Kato-kun is just too unlucky."

"Think about yourself first."

Kiyono Makoto simply said:

"Time is running out, shall we team up?"

"that……"

"Three minutes left... Well, now there are only two minutes left. Eriri, you decide."

"..."

Eriri gently bit her lower lip, her expression conflicted.

To be fair, she definitely wanted to team up with Kiyono Makoto.

But the way they form teams is just awful!

Calling a boy by that kind of name... that's something you only see in humiliation manga!

"I've already seen my senior."

Kiyono Makoto spoke up to remind him.

Eriri's twin tails trembled slightly, and she quickly turned her head to look. She soon saw a girl with long, straight black hair riding up the escalator, and she clenched her fists.

No!

We can't keep running away!

That fat woman in black stockings is coming over soon. If I call him "Dad" in front of him... I'll be laughed at for the rest of my life, right?

I'm sure I will!

I absolutely refuse to do that!

"I...I understand..."

Eriri took a deep breath, finally making up her mind. A blush quickly rose on her fair, jade-like face, even the tips of her ears turned crimson, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

"I'll agree to team up!"

Kiyono Makoto quickly took out the captain's contract, then extended his right hand to perform the contract ritual:

"Eri, be my daughter!"

"..."

Eriri turned her head away, barely suppressing the urge to punch someone, her pretty face flushed, her voice trembling slightly:

"...Adosan."

As Eriri uttered that name, the ceremony was quietly completed.

next second.
