The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Kiyono responded politely:

"Hello, I am Makoto Kiyono. Please forgive my unannounced visit."

Because of her hearing impairment, Shoko's parents divorced when she was very young. Her mother worked hard on her own and was a typical strong woman, while her grandmother took care of her two daughters.

Chapter 75 Let go of my sister, come at me if you have a problem!

"Excuse me."

Makoto Kiyono stepped into the entryway.

The house was clean, tidy, and cozy, with many cartoon stickers on the walls, giving it a lively atmosphere.

"Um... we don't have any slippers for boys at home..."

Nishimiya Shoko looked up at him, stammering:

"Kiyono-kun...would you like to wear my slippers?"

Kiyono Makoto lowered his head, looked at the small and delicate pink bunny slippers, and immediately fell silent.

"...Can I go barefoot?"

"Of course, you can."

"Then I choose to go barefoot."

"..."

Pink bunny slippers, I will never wear them!

Having successfully completed the first task of getting started, Nishimiya Shoko secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced shyly at her smiling grandmother beside her, then blushed and whispered:

"Shall I take Kiyono to the bathroom?"

Seino Makoto shook his head:

"No need for that. I'll just go to the restroom to wash my face quickly. I have spare clothes in my bag; I can change into them."

The bathroom is a relatively private place, and if you go in to take a shower without permission, you might see something you shouldn't. Naturally, Kiyono Makoto didn't want to cause any trouble.

Of course, there are no spare clothes in the backpack, but there are in the storage compartment, so there's no problem in case of emergency.

Seeing that Kiyono Makoto was determined, Nishimiya Shoko had no choice but to agree, covering her chest with one hand and her skirt with the other, shyly leading the way:

"I...I'll take Kiyono to the restroom..."

Please.

Upon arriving at the bathroom, Kiyono Makoto told Shoko to take a shower by herself, then closed the door and began washing up and changing clothes.

But when she came out after washing up, she saw that Nishimiya Shoko hadn't left. Instead, she was standing expectantly in the corridor, as if waiting to summon her little maid at any moment.

"Why didn't you go to take a shower?"

Kiyono Makoto casually asked:

"It must be very uncomfortable to be all wet."

"It doesn't matter."

Nishimiya Shoko quickly shook her head, held up her phone, and said, "Kiyono-san might need some help, so I waited outside for a while."

You always think of others first. You're so gentle and timid, no wonder you get bullied!

"I'm fine."

Kiyono Makoto waved his hand, "Go take a shower quickly."

"Uh-huh."

Nishimiya Shoko quickly nodded, then blushed and looked over, quietly mustering her courage, "I... I'll make Kiyono-kun a cup of tea first?"

"...I am indeed a little thirsty."

Kiyono Makoto did not refuse, but nodded in agreement.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, he had already roughly figured out Shoko's personality: introverted, gentle, sensitive, and insecure.

Girls with this personality type are very prone to getting caught up in inner conflict and internal struggles.

A casual remark from someone else can often keep her tossing and turning all night.

Making tea is a small matter, but Nishimiya Shoko may have been pondering it for a long time outside the door, which is why she stuttered and blushed when she spoke.

If she refuses, Shoko will likely have trouble sleeping at night.

We entered the living room.

With a flushed face, Nishimiya Shoko brewed a cup of oolong tea and brought over the washed fruit. Her grandmother stood by, smiling silently. After finishing everything, Shoko finally went to the bathroom.

"...It tastes good."

Kiyono Makoto sat on the sofa, drinking tea and playing on his phone.

"It's already 6:30 without me even realizing it. I have to go for a run and work out later, looks like I won't have time for barbecue..."

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft sigh, planning to say goodbye and leave as soon as Shoko finished showering.

Time slipped away quietly, second by second.

Before the glass even came out, the doorbell rang first.

"I'm back."

A rather neutral and indifferent voice came from the entrance hall.

Kiyono Makoto looked in the direction of the sound and soon saw a short girl with short black hair, a camera hanging around her neck, and androgynous features, making it difficult to tell whether she was male or female, walk in.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be Yuzuru Nishimiya, the younger sister of Shoko.

Shoko was often bullied when she was young, and her mother had a strong personality. In order to make her daughter stronger, she wanted to force Shoko to cut her hair into a boy's style. In order to protect her older sister, Yuzuru Nishimiya took the initiative to cut her hair short and take on the responsibility of protecting her sister.

Their eyes met.

Yuzuru Nishimiya opened her eyes wide in confusion, then quickly frowned, like a small animal whose territory had been invaded. She walked over with a thud and asked, frowning:

"Who are you? What are you doing in our house?"

Seino Makoto put down his teacup and responded politely:

"I'm Makoto Kiyono, nice to meet you..."

I'm not interested in your name.

Yuzuru Nishimiya frowned, her gaze shifting downwards to the teacup that Makoto Kiyono had just set down, her eyes wary. "That's my sister's special teacup."

"Um?"

Kiyono Makoto was slightly surprised, not expecting it to be a glass-specific teacup.

No wonder when I was drinking tea just now, besides the aroma of tea, there seemed to be a faint, subtle fragrance as well.

"You're actually drinking tea from your sister's cup... Who are you anyway?!"

Nishimiya Yuzuru frowned, anger already showing on her small face.

If I hadn't seen my grandmother preparing food in the kitchen, I probably would have already called the police.

Kiyono Makoto answered frankly:

"I'm Shoko's friend."

"ha?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya's eyes widened in disbelief:

You said it's your sister's friend?

"That's right."

"Liar, my sister has never had a male friend. If she did, I would know."

Kiyono speaks the truth:

"I only recently met Shoko-san."

"We've only known each other for a short time, why would I bring you home... wait a minute!"

Yuzuru Nishimiya suddenly narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharpening:

"The day before yesterday, when my sister and I were shopping at the mall, she suddenly told me to go home. Then she didn't come home all night and didn't message me until the next morning. When I asked her why, she said she was with a friend and her phone died on the way... Was that friend you?"

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

I didn't go home the night before last; actually, I was adventuring in a dungeon.

Clearly, Shoko didn't tell her family the truth, and Kiyono Makoto certainly wouldn't lie either.

"Silence means consent?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya stormed forward, grabbing Makoto Kiyono's collar like a protective cub.

"My sister has never had any friends growing up, and she suddenly started acting strangely about two weeks ago... It must be related to you, right?"

Kiyono Makoto looked innocent: "That has nothing to do with me."

I've only known Shoko for a few days, but she suddenly started acting strangely about two weeks ago. It must have been around the time she was unfortunately caught up in the amusement park.

Stop lying!

Yuzuru Nishimiya's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Makoto Kiyono's face, her eyes filled with disdain.

"I've seen plenty of good-looking but frivolous guys like you!"

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

Indeed, prejudice is a mountain; when the first impression is bad, no one will believe you if you tell the truth.

Yuzuru Nishimiya clenched her fists and glared at him fiercely.

"My sister has always been incredibly well-behaved since she was little, and she would never stay out all night with a boy!"

"So...did you secretly take pictures of my sister, use those pictures as leverage, and then force her to do 'that' with you?"

Hey, what are you imagining? It's not pure love at all!

Kiyono Makoto slightly twitched the corner of his mouth: "Children shouldn't peek at strange pamphlets."

"ha?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya blushed slightly, denying it in embarrassment, and raised her small fist in a threatening gesture:

"Stop babbling! I didn't read any weird books... You better confess now, or I'll beat you to tears!"

With your skinny arms, you probably couldn't even break through their defenses if you just sat still and let me beat you!

Just as Kiyono Makoto was about to speak, he suddenly heard soft footsteps in the corridor.

Nishimiya Shoko finally came out of the shower, wearing a white bathrobe, her hair still damp. Suddenly, she saw Nishimiya Yuzuru grab Kiyono Makoto's collar with one hand and raise his other fist high, clearly wanting to punch him.

"No, no!"

Nishimiya Shoko's eyes widened instantly, her mind went blank, and she rushed over in a panic.

"Hey, sister?"

Upon seeing her older sister appear, Nishimiya Yuzuru quickly stood up straight.

The term "lucky pervert" is making waves again.

The floor was perfectly flat, but Nishimiya Shoko accidentally tripped over her right foot with her left, causing her to stumble and lose her balance, falling directly towards Kiyono Makoto.

Bang.

Kiyono Makoto felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his vision abruptly obscured by something indescribable.

While I couldn't breathe, a fragrant aroma wafted into my nostrils.

It has a fruity scent and a light milky fragrance; overall, it smells amazing.

Kiyono Makoto involuntarily thought of the 24-form simplified Tai Chi.

The name of the fourteenth Tai Chi move...

"...Yes, I'm sorry!"
