The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

Nishimiya Shoko quickly widened her round eyes and shook her head in shame.

Praising myself so loudly...it's so embarrassing!

"If you don't want me to do anything reckless, then hurry up and tell me." Kiyono Makoto started the countdown. "I'll only give you ten seconds."

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko shyly twisted her fingers together, struggled for a moment, and finally spoke shyly, her voice so soft it was barely audible:

"I...I have very beautiful hands."

"I learned to swim today, that's awesome."

"And...and it's also very popular with children..."

After sporadically praising herself, Nishimiya Shoko seemed to have burned out and hurriedly raised her hands to cover her cheeks.

But besides shame, a strange emotion quietly sprouted in my heart.

(I'm so ordinary, I always drag others down... Do I really have that many good points?)

"Very good, punishment over." Kiyono Makoto nodded in satisfaction, finishing his canned drink in one gulp. "Hurry up and drink something, then swim another lap, and then go buy a swimsuit."

Playing with a young girl's sense of shame occasionally can indeed bring pleasure.

After half an hour.

Makoto Kiyono and Shoko Nishimiya left the swimming pool together and took the train to Ikebukuro.

Swimsuits can be bought anywhere, so I went straight to Ikebukuro to see what surprises awaited me in the blind boxes.

"...Tobu Department Store, we've arrived."

Kiyono Makoto glanced at the time on his phone and nodded in satisfaction.

It's 4:50 PM now, just in time for the daily blind box purchase announcement.

"Shoko-kun, let's go buy blind boxes first."

"it is good."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded obediently, without asking why.

A few minutes later.

With Shoko by his side, Kiyono Makoto went to the third floor of the mall and found a row of machines near the fire exit. There were more than twenty of them, including blind box machines, gashapon machines, and claw machines.

"...This is the blind box machine closest to the fire exit."

Kiyono Makoto quickly found his target.

The machine was covered with posters of various anime, including One Piece, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Love Live!, and many other familiar characters.

"Hmm... Hinako's notes?"

Upon seeing the group of cute young girls, Kiyono Makoto's expression immediately became subtle.

"Hinako's Note" needs no introduction; it's a classic moe manga. But just a few days ago, someone revealed a shocking revelation: the manga's author, Ms. Mitsuki, has become a "welfare girl" (a woman who sells explicit content), with content so explicit it's jaw-dropping.

That said, the reason why the manga "Hinako's Note" ended was not because it lacked commercial value and was stopped, but because the author, Mitsuki, herself didn't want to draw anymore and clearly stated that she wanted to draw more adult works, which is the same as Eriri's hobby.

Time flew by and it was exactly five o'clock.

Kiyono Makoto inserted a coin and purchased the anime blind box provided in the information.

"Let me see what surprises await."

Makoto Kiyono eagerly anticipates opening the blind box and discovering a figure of Honoka Kousaka inside.

"Could it be a hidden limited edition?"

Makoto Kiyono took out his phone to search and found that it was not like that at all; it was just an ordinary figure.

"That's it?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly.

I didn't feel much surprise; in fact, I was completely unmoved.

"If it's just a regular figurine, the daily news wouldn't specifically highlight it..."

Kiyono Makoto pondered for two seconds, then suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Start term observation".

A few seconds later.

Two terms quietly appeared above the figure.

[Entry: Nendoroid (White)]

[Entry: Erling Eryilingba?r ∞ Energetic Master (Purple)]

"There's a purple entry?"

Kiyono Makoto's eyes lit up slightly, and he decisively opened the attribute entries.

[Entry: Energy Master. Increases mental energy recovery speed. When close to another player, both will share this effect, with mental energy recovery speed increased up to 200%.]

After reviewing the entry's attributes, Kiyono Makoto instantly understood:

"...So you're going to use patches to replenish mana, right?"

Chapter 97 Obsessed with Glass, Unable to Extricate Oneself

"Applying a spell can replenish mana... a very useful attribute."

Kiyono Makoto's eyes lit up slightly.

"Now that's what you call a surprise."

An ordinary figurine is naturally worthless, but a figurine with a purple attribute is indeed a pleasant surprise.

As for why the figurine has a purple tag... the world is so big, there are always secrets that ordinary people cannot understand.

Seiichi Kiyono has never had the habit of digging deep into things.

The problem now is...

"Should I add the entry to my profile?"

Kiyono Makoto looked hesitant.

Humans have their limits, items have a limit to the number of attributes they can carry, and players are no exception.

Therefore, the ideal configuration is naturally a full set of gold attributes, but the attribute "Stick to Mana" is extremely useful.

When players cast spells, most skills consume resources, and mental energy is the so-called 'mana bar'. When casting spells consecutively, the mental energy consumed will increase even more.

Take Zhai Li as an example. [Ma Liang's Magic Brush] is a standard mana drainer. His mental energy drops rapidly. The limit for Tiga's transformation is three minutes, but if Zhai Li goes all out, he will have a splitting headache and collapse to the ground in just one minute.

"Water magic is also a huge mana drain... that's it."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Kiyono Makoto finally decided to go back, strip the entry, and then add it to himself.

The entry can not only be used by oneself, but also help others restore their mental strength. As the captain, one must take on the responsibility of taking care of the team members.

As for using mana replenishment techniques to get close to girls... I have absolutely no such dirty thoughts!

Put away the figurines.

Kiyono Makoto glanced over and saw Nishimiya Shoko standing not far away in front of the claw machine, leaning slightly forward, her eyes sparkling as she stared intently at the plush toys inside.

"Does Shoko like Sanrio dolls?"

Kiyono Makoto walked over to Shoko's side.

"……dislike."

Nishimiya Shoko blushed and quickly shook her head.

He said he didn't like it, but his eyes were clearly overflowing with excitement!

"If you like it, grab it and see how lucky you are." Kiyono Makoto uttered these four words of profound wisdom, "Since we're already here..."

Nishimiya Shoko shook her head again, gently biting her lower lip, and softly replied:

"Um... I've never played the claw machine before."

"Never tried it before? Then you definitely need to experience it." Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly. "Catching claw machines is one of the hundred things you must experience in life. Shoko-san really wants to try it, right?"

Nishimiya Glass: "..."

That's right.

I really want to give it a try.

But I'll only cause trouble. What if I break the machine?

"Never mind..."

As usual, Nishimiya Shoko instinctively chose to back down, but as soon as she turned around, Kiyono Makoto grabbed her right hand.

"Kiyo-Kiyo-kun?"

Feeling the warmth emanating from her palm, Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face quickly flushed red, and she shyly looked up at him.

“Since we’re already here, we have to experience it.” Kiyono Makoto’s tone left no room for argument. “Otherwise, I’ll hold your hand and never let go.”

Nishimiya Glass: "..."

I'm not afraid of that kind of threat!

If it were anyone else, Shoko would definitely resist, but it's Kiyono-kun now... no problem at all.

Despite her fearlessness, under Makoto Kiyono's 'coercion,' Shoko finally mustered her courage:

"Then... shall I give it a try?"

“Even a three-year-old can play this; it’s very simple.” Kiyono Makoto led Shoko back to the claw machine. “Just insert a coin, then control the button and joystick.”

Nishimiya Shoko nodded gently, took out a coin from her cat-shaped wallet, inserted it into the machine, and then opened her eyes wide, anticipating her first time playing the claw machine.

"Hmm... Got it."

With a gentle sway, the joystick, carefully controlled by Nishimiya Shoko, landed steadily on a pink cat plush toy.
