The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

"OK."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly, "Then let's go challenge the haunted house the day after tomorrow."

Kato Megumi looked up at him:

"How is the curse on Kiyono-kun?"

Just as Kiyono Makoto was about to speak, the sound of heavy footsteps suddenly came from upstairs.

Looking over at the sound, I saw the senior student with cascading black hair walking down, her pretty face full of the languid look of someone who had just woken up.

"Good morning, senior/senior, Kato-kun..."

Seino Makoto stared at the past speechlessly.

It's almost 5 PM, so it should be good evening now.

"Phew... what were you guys just talking about?"

The senior student covered her mouth with her hand and walked over.

Kato Megumi explained softly:

"They're talking about the curse on Kiyono-kun."

Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression immediately turned serious. After sitting down, she crossed her arms and gently tapped her arms with her fingers.

"The so-called satisfaction and pleasure... are inextricably linked to water magic."

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

There's absolutely no way to refute it.

Having previously defeated Hinako Deepwater with water magic, now the only option is to return the favor.

Kiyono Makoto looked expectantly at his senior:

"It's useless for me to cast water spells on myself, so..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha blushed slightly and gently kicked out with her right foot:

"I'm sorry, I can't. Junior, please ask Kato for help instead."

So far, the senior student is unaware that Kato has already experienced water magic and is only looking to take this opportunity to escape.

"..."

Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips and sat quietly playing on her phone, neither refusing nor agreeing.

"Kato alone probably can't manage."

Kiyono Makoto coughed twice and spoke frankly, "When I defeated Hinako Fukamizu, I used the healing water magic five times in total. Fewer times wouldn't be effective."

"Five, five times?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned back instinctively, a clear look of panic flashing across the girl's fair and jade-like face, followed by a rapid blush spreading across her cheeks.

One water spell was already terrifying... and now they want five more?

It'll break, won't it?

It's bound to break!

"...Huh?"

Kato, who was quietly playing on his phone next to him, subconsciously held his breath and brought his legs together.

Five water spells... Poor Hinako Deepwater.

"That's just my guess, junior. Perhaps a single water spell will suffice."

Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lower lip lightly, cautiously covering her chest, "...If it really has to be five shots, then we'll have to call everyone over. Kato and I definitely won't be able to hold on."

"We don't yet know how much the curse can devour, so we plan to test it out first."

Kiyono Makoto shared his thoughts, "The curse has a pleasure progress bar; we can control the variables to verify it... Hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, Kiyono Makoto suddenly raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Kyono-kun?"

Kato Megumi tilted her head and looked at her in confusion.

"Curse progress bar..."

Kiyono Makoto opened the attribute panel, "It actually increased."

"Huh?"

The two girls looked over curiously and, sure enough, saw that the previously empty progress bar behind the fox head of the deep-sea girl had quietly filled up, by about one-tenth of its value.

"Did my junior secretly use water magic?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke while glancing at Kato Megumi.

"I don't."

Kiyono Makoto quickly shook his head, "I just woke up not long ago, and only exchanged a few words with Kato before my senior went downstairs."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly, showing no sign of doubt.

She knew the power of water magic very well. If her junior had really used water magic on Kato, Kato would definitely be in a terrible situation now, right?

"The progress bar increased even without using water magic, which means my junior brother satisfied the pleasure curse in another way."

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her delicate chin, looking at her with a half-smile, "What have you been up to, junior?"

"Could it be that someone is secretly hiding in the bathroom alone...?"

Kiyono Makoto's face darkened:

"Senior, I'm suing you for defamation!"

Chapter 72: Kato's Jealousy.

"I haven't used water magic on anyone, so the progress bar has nothing to do with water magic..."

Makoto Kiyono raised his right hand and gently pressed his index finger against his brow:

"The bath was very comfortable, the omelet rice was delicious... I felt happy from it, so that's why the progress bar increased by one-tenth?"

"In other words, the curse isn't actually about collecting your pleasure, but about collecting my own?"

"uncertain."

Kiyono Makoto quickly shook his head, completing his guess.

"The truth can only be known through experimentation. For example, we could actually collect pleasant emotions from the senior student..."

"Sorry, I refuse. Don't even think about it."

Kasumigaoka Utaha decisively refused the three-part refusal, instead offering an apple. The girl's long, slender, white fingers paired with the bright red apple looked exceptionally beautiful.

"Junior, try eating an apple first and see how your actions relate to the progress bar."

"it is good."

Kiyono Makoto took the apple and started eating it with a crunch.

The two girls opened their eyes wide and carefully observed the changes in the progress bar.

"The progress bar... seems to have moved slightly?"

The senior student crossed her arms over her chest, her tone somewhat uncertain.

"It wasn't my imagination, it definitely moved."

Kato Megumi spoke lightly, "But only a tiny bit."

Click, click.

Makoto Kiyono finished the apple in two bites, then wiped his fingers:

"I noticed that too. The progress bar has indeed changed slightly, but to fill it up, I'd need to eat at least a hundred pounds of apples."

"Well, that's not important."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's pink lips curved upwards, outlining a joyful arc:

"It seems our junior can generate his own electricity; we don't need to sacrifice ourselves."

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

Hey, what does "sacrifice" mean?

You were clearly super happy during the water magic healing!

*Smack*

Kasumigaoka Utaha snapped her fingers lightly:

"Different pleasures should provide different levels of enjoyment. Boys all like playing games, junior, why don't you give it a try?"

"I'll give it a try."

Kiyono Makoto nodded in agreement.

He turned on the TV, connected the console, and Kiyono Makoto casually opened Silent Hill F, controlling Hinako Deepwater to wreak havoc.

Half an hour later.

The curse progress bar did increase, but only by a tiny bit.

"...I used to find games very interesting, but now I've suddenly lost interest."

Seino Makoto reluctantly put down the controller.

Once you've seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant; once you've beheld the clouds of Wushan, other clouds seem pale in comparison.

After personally challenging Hinako Deepwater, I lost interest in the game.

Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her pink lips and lightly tapped her arm with her fingertips:

"I have an idea..."

"What?"

"As we all know, in order to conserve cognitive resources, the nervous system will actively reduce its response to continuous or repetitive stimuli. Simply put, habitual behaviors cannot generate enough pleasurable emotions for you."

Kasumigaoka Utaha extends a slender, jade-like finger:

"In other words, to evoke sufficiently strong feelings of pleasure in my junior, I must let him experience something novel and exciting that he has never done before..."

At this point, Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned back slightly, her left leg crossed over her right, her black stockings gleaming with a subtle matte sheen. A slight smile played on her lips as she looked down at them.

"Junior, can you massage my feet?"

"...A foot massage?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow and looked over.

"My feet are a little sore from running around in the dungeon, I need someone to massage them..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha closed one eye, tilted her head to look at him, and said, "And you, junior, should be very happy to receive this reward, right?"

Don't be ridiculous, who would be happy over something so trivial!

Seino Makoto remained expressionless.

"Senior, don't smear someone's reputation."

"Heh~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled softly, lifting her delicate chin, her black-clad jade feet swaying gently:

"Boys really are all two-faced creatures...or are you afraid the progress bar will expose your perverted fetishes?"

"..."

Kiyono Makoto's gaze shifted downwards, landing on his senior's right leg.

My senior loves wearing black pantyhose, but unfortunately, the pantyhose have already been washed. Right now, she's only wearing Kato stockings, and between the hem of her skirt and the stockings, a glimpse of her snow-white "absolute territory" is visible. She looks slender and well-proportioned, and exceptionally alluring.

The next second.

Kiyono Makoto decisively reached out and grabbed his senior's right foot, placing it on his thigh.
