The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Kiyono Makoto stood up decisively: "I have absolutely no interest in my senior's saliva."

"Heh~"

After the conversation ended, Kiyono Makoto continued running.

Before long, a young woman in a white coat was seen standing by the roadside, clutching her chest, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she had encountered some kind of problem. It was Rio Futaba.

"Futaba, why did you stop running?"

Kiyono Makoto stopped out of curiosity.

"I'm fine..."

Upon seeing Kiyono Makoto approach, Futaba Rio's pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly looked away to avoid eye contact.

After opening the door to a new world this afternoon, I can no longer look at Kiyono Makoto the eye.

"Is there a problem with your shoelaces?"

Kiyono Makoto's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the girl's right foot.

"It seems to be tangled in a knot that's impossible to untangle..."

Kiyono Makoto squatted down as he spoke:

Let me tie it for you.

"Need not......"

Rio Futaba blushed and whispered her refusal.

"Don't move."

Kiyono Makoto instructed, "If you could tie it yourself, you wouldn't look so troubled."

Futaba Rio: "..."

After discovering that her shoelaces were loose, Futaba naturally squatted down to tie them. Unfortunately, there was too much fat in certain areas, which pressed against her knees, making it impossible to see the shoelaces. As a result, she accidentally made a knot.

Looking at the boy squatting in front of her, Rio Futaba's pretty face flushed slightly as she involuntarily recalled the scenes that had happened after school.

I initially considered Kiyono Makoto a reliable teammate, but after experiencing water magic... I never wanted to go back.

"Done."

Kiyono Makoto clapped his hands and stood up easily.

"stare--"

A gaze suddenly fell upon him.

Kiyono Makoto turned his head and saw a blonde girl with twin ponytails running over, panting, her face full of a gossipy expression.

"...I continued running."

Rio Futaba felt slightly uncomfortable, quickly took half a step back to create some distance, and then turned and ran away.

There's a problem.

Eriri stopped beside Kiyono, hands on her hips, and squinted at him:

"Futaba's acting strangely today, completely different from how she is in the dungeon... Did that idiot Seino do something weird?"

"Don't slander someone's innocence."

Kiyono Makoto remained calm. "I was just helping him tie his shoelaces."

Stop lying.

Eriri was completely unconvinced. "If it were just tying shoelaces, Futaba's face wouldn't be that red. You two are definitely hiding something from me."

It must be said that although Eriri is a tsundere and a bit of a ditz, her intuition is surprisingly sharp.

Kiyono Makoto hesitated for two seconds, not deliberately hiding anything, mainly because Futaba hadn't asked him to keep the secret:

"After school in the afternoon, I was invited to the Science Club, where I let Futaba experience water magic."

"ha?"

Eriri's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she covered her skirt with her hands, taking a half-step back:

"How vulgar!"

Seino Makoto stared at the past speechlessly.

"Where is it vulgar?"

Eriri's small canine teeth were faintly visible at the corner of her mouth, and her azure eyes were full of disdain.

"Using that kind of magic on girls is incredibly lewd!"

Seino Makoto's expression was innocent:

"It was Futaba who insisted."

"You'll give it to me if I insist?"

Everyone says she insists.

"You can refuse if you really want it."

"..."

Kiyono Makoto slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, his gaze turning dangerous:

"Eri-sama, you've been running around for so long today, you must be very tired."

"Huh?"

Eriri was taken aback upon hearing this, and took a half-step back warily:

What are you going to do?

Kiyono Makoto's eyes grew increasingly dangerous.

"Would you like me to heal your body?"

"Pah!"

Eriri immediately spat lightly, glaring at her with embarrassment and annoyance:

"Dare to use water magic against me, you're dead!"

I'm not afraid.

As Kiyono Makoto spoke, he gestured as if to raise his hand.

"...Vulgar! Hentai!"

Eriri quickly turned and ran, her twin ponytails swaying gently in the wind, disappearing into the distance in a flash.

Kiyono Makoto withdrew his right hand and continued running, quickly arriving beside the bob-haired girl.

"Kato, we're going to the amusement park tomorrow, have you prepared your sports watch?"

Kiyono Makoto asked as he ran:

"If I forget, I can buy one after my run."

"Don't worry, Kiyono-kun, the watch is ready."

Kato Megumi's pink lips parted slightly, and she was a little out of breath. "I bought a sports watch in junior high school, and I found it yesterday. It still works."

"That's good... By the way, I can't find the shampoo I bought before."

"Kiyono-kun stuffs everything into the drawer, it's too messy."

Kato Megumi let out a soft sigh and tilted her head slightly. "I've put the shampoo in the storage room. There's a label on the cardboard box; I'll know when I get back."

"I'm sorry, I can't live without Kato-sama, you good-for-nothing."

"..."

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Workout over.

A quick count reveals that Eriri's stamina attribute has successfully increased by one point, which is cause for celebration.

"That's enough for today, everyone go home and rest."

Makoto Kushino and the girls left the park and then went home.

When passing by the shopping street, Kiyono Makoto decisively went to a barbecue restaurant and had a meal of barbecue. After satisfying his wish, he returned home contentedly.

"I'll take a shower later... let me check the ninjutsu scroll first."

Kiyono Makoto took out the ninjutsu scroll and the arm guard tool made by Futaba, then removed the "Self-Repair" attribute and pasted it onto the ninjutsu scroll.

Click.

The arm guards quietly broke and lost their luster.

"Next, we need to verify the results."

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath and gently unfurled the scroll with both hands.

The next second.

Countless ink paintings flew out from the scroll and entered Kiyono Makoto's body.

A notification pops up in front of you:

Congratulations, you have mastered the skill 'Substitution Technique'!

"View specific attributes."

As Kiyono Makoto silently recited the command, a screen of light quickly unfolded before his eyes.

[Skill: Substitution Jutsu]

【Category: Active Skill】

[Effect: After setting up a wooden stake in advance, activating the skill will instantly swap your position with the stake. The maximum swap distance is currently ten meters.]

[Skill Level: Lv.1]

[Note: You can directly consume points or actively practice to improve your skill level. As your skill level increases, the cost decreases and the teleportation distance increases.]

"As expected, it's a basic ninjutsu. Ten meters is far too short, but it's quite good for escaping and ambushing..."

Kiyono Makoto's gaze shifted downwards, landing on the scroll in his hand.

With the last number of learning attempts used up, the surface of the scroll was covered with cracks, as if it would shatter and dissipate completely at any moment.

But at this moment, white light permeated the area around the crack, as if glued together, forcibly holding the scroll in place.

Kiyono Makoto curiously checked the scroll's properties and found that the scroll's usable count had become zero, but a "Under Repair" marker had appeared next to it; he just didn't know how long it would take to be fixed.

"...It's still good news."

Kiyono Makoto put away the scroll with satisfaction, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Nothing more was said that night.

the next day.

Kiyono Makoto wakes up precisely on time, thanks to his biological clock.

The first thing I do when I get up is check today's daily news.

The golden exclamation mark quietly exploded, transforming into three lines of text:

[Today's intelligence 1: Nishimiya Yuzuru dreamt about you last night, and in the dream, he trampled you in war.]

Kiyono Makoto slightly twitched the corner of his mouth:

"A sister complex is indeed a terrifying creature."

I did nothing wrong, yet I was still trampled on in my dream. How miserable.

[Today's News Item 2: Horizon 6 official website has uploaded complete, unencrypted game files. The full version is not yet unlocked, but the demo version is already playable in advance.]

"The horizon..."

Makoto Kiyono couldn't help but complain:

"How could someone make such a huge mess?"
