The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

"Hey, what's that?"

Through her shirt, Eriri could quickly feel the clearly defined outline of her fingers, and her fingers unconsciously stroked it gently.

"Don't touch my stomach." Kiyono Makoto didn't even turn his head. "If you want to touch it, stop and let me touch it slowly."

Eriri's pretty face quickly flushed red, and she denied it shyly:

"I'm not interested at all!"

"..."

After calming down, Eriri turned her head to look elsewhere.

The neon lights on both sides of the street rushed past, and some signs still had raindrops hanging on them. The neon lights were dazzling and colorful under the refraction of the raindrops.

"The night view from the back of the bicycle is unexpectedly beautiful..."

Eriri murmured softly.

She often went to bed late and got up early. Sometimes she would get up late and have to rush to the tram stop on her bicycle. But sitting on the back of a boy's bicycle and enjoying the night view was a first for her, so it was inevitably a bit novel and subtle.

Ten minutes later.

Seihei Kiyono safely escorted Takumi to the door.

"...As expected of a capitalist's daughter."

Looking at the villa estate in front of him, Kiyono Makoto clicked his tongue softly.

"I'm home." Eriri jumped off her bicycle, her knees aching, and she staggered slightly. After regaining her balance, she looked up at me, her eyes gleaming like sapphires in the lamplight. "You... be careful on your way home."

Seino Makoto waved his hand:

"I'm leaving now. I'll text you when I get home."

"..."

Watching Kiyono Makoto ride away on his bicycle, Eriri let out a soft sigh, dispelling the subtle reluctance in her heart, and then walked through the gate.

Eriri awkwardly made her way through the garden to the villa's main entrance, but as soon as she stepped inside, a sweet and pleasant voice rang out:

"Eri Ri-chan~ You've finally decided to come home."

"what……"

Eriri immediately crossed her arms and couldn't help but complain:

"Mom is already an old lady, so she shouldn't use a double-tongued tone when she speaks."

"Nonsense, Mom is forever eighteen, not some old lady." A beautiful woman with black hair, dressed in a yukata, walked over. It was Sawamura Sayuri, holding a folding fan in her hand, her eyes full of pleasure. "Who was that boy just now?"

"W-what boy?"

Eriri looked away guiltily.

"It's the boy who just rode his bicycle to take Eriri home." Sawamura Sayuri smiled sweetly, her pretty face full of curiosity. "The surveillance footage is a bit blurry, but if I'm not mistaken, it should be the boy who appeared in the video earlier, right?"

Eriri tries to change the subject:

"Why is Mom looking at the security camera instead of the notebook?"

“My daughter arrived in Tokyo at seven o’clock, but she hasn’t come home by nine-thirty. It’s normal for a mother to be worried.” Sayuri Sawamura raised her folding fan to cover her mouth, her eyes curving into crescents. “…Eri has finally grown up. I’m so happy. But please be careful and don’t let anyone get hurt.”

"Huh, what do you mean?"

Eriri didn't react for a moment.

Sawamura Sayuri gently waved her folding fan, her smile sweet:

"Oh dear~ Mom wants to play for a few more years, she doesn't want to become a grandmother at eighteen."

"..."

Eriri finally understood what "being careful" meant, and her pretty face immediately turned red. She clenched her fists, feeling both embarrassed and angry.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. I'm just a regular friend of that idiot Kiyono! After we came back from the amusement park, it started raining heavily, so I had to go to Kiyono's house to take shelter from the rain. That's all!"

Sawamura Sayuri smiled and looked over:

"But Eriri's walking posture was really awkward just now, just like the first time Daddy and I walked together..."

"Stop, stop talking!"

Eriri's pretty face flushed, and she explained shyly:

"I accidentally hurt my knee while taking a shower, so it's normal to walk awkwardly!"

"Eh……"

Sawamura Sayuri's gaze shifted downwards, landing on Eriri's knees, and she nodded slightly.

"Mom's knees used to get bruised and swollen all the time, do you want me to recommend a lightweight knee brace for you...?"

"I don't need that kind of thing!" Eriri said, both embarrassed and angry, raising her voice. "It was all an accident, I didn't do what Mom was talking about!"

Seeing Eriri turn into a hissing cat, Sawamura Sayuri finally believed it, and a look of utter boredom appeared on her pretty face:

"Oh, Mom is so disappointed..."

What are you disappointed about?

Sawamura Sayuri waved her folding fan:

"I'm sad that I can't be a grandma for a while, and I want to cry."

Eriri exclaimed shyly:

"Mom, get out of here! You just said you didn't want to be a grandma!"

"call……"

Sawamura Sayuri raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned:

"I'm so sleepy, I can't keep my eyes open anymore. Mommy's going back to sleep... Eriri, take a bath and rest early."

"stare--"

Eriri leaned forward, looking closely at Sayuri, her delicate brows furrowing slightly:

Why are Mom's dark circles so bad?

"I don't know." Sayuri Sawamura shook her head, her voice slightly tired. "I didn't go out all day, and I got up very late this morning, but I just feel super tired. Maybe it's because I haven't been resting well lately."

After saying that, Sayuri Sawamura yawned again, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes:

"I'm so sleepy... Mom's going to bed now."

Watching Sayuri Sawamura's departing figure, Eriri's sixth sense vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

“Last month, my mom stayed up all night with me to draw a notebook, and she was still full of energy the next day. She never goes to bed early, but it’s only a little past nine o’clock now, and she’s already going to bed?”

"Something feels off..."

"Let's have Mom go for a check-up tomorrow."

"..."

Silent all night.

the next day.

When Kiyono Makoto woke up in the morning, two lines of text quietly appeared before his eyes.

[Today's News 1: GTA6 will be available for pre-order at 10:00 AM today. If you buy the physical collector's edition, someone will be willing to buy it for five times the price a year later.]

[Today's Information 2: Skillfully using the combination of praise and head pats can increase Nishimiya Shoko's training efficiency by 50%]

"Buy it, we have to buy it to taste how salty it is."

Makoto Kiyono didn't intend to make a fortune from the first piece of information, but after anticipating such a long-awaited masterpiece, he naturally had to buy it and experience it properly.

"As for the second point... praise and a pat on the head should be useful for learning to swim, right?"

Seino Makoto picked up his phone from beside his pillow, found Nishimiya Shoko's profile picture, and sent a message:

"Good morning, Shoko-kun. Are you up yet?"

The message was quickly marked as read.

Shoko Nishimiya, still half-asleep and reluctant to get out of bed, saw the message and quickly sat up, like a soldier receiving an inspection from his superior:

Good morning... I'm up.

Kiyono Makoto: "I'll send you the address of the swimming pool. Meet me at the entrance of the swimming pool at nine o'clock in the morning."

"...I will definitely be there on time."

Nishimiya Shoko quietly breathed a sigh of relief, covered her phone to her chest, and prepared to get up and wash.

at the same time.

In the next room.

"...There are footsteps in the hallway, is that my sister?"

Nishimiya Yuzuru rolled over and listened intently to the sounds outside.

"Mom has already gone to work by now, and Grandma is probably at the convenience store buying groceries. It must be my older sister."

The image of Makoto Kiyono flashed through Yuzuru Nishimiya's mind, and she quickly sat up:

"You want to call your sister out, right?"

"We must find out where that guy took my sister today. If he dares to take her to a hotel... he must be sentenced to death!"

Yuzuru Nishimiya took a deep breath, adjusted her facial expression, and then went out to wash up.

Good morning, Yuzuru.

Nishimiya Shoko's voice was gentle and soft, but when she didn't speak for a long time, her tone became somewhat awkward.

"Good morning, sister."

Yuzuru Nishimiya nodded in response, and after washing up, he put his hands in his pockets and was about to leave.

"Yuzuru, have breakfast first..."

Nishimiya Shoko hurriedly called out.
