The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

"..."

Under Makoto Kiyono's threat, Nishimiya Shoko quickly grabbed a white one-piece swimsuit and hugged it to her chest in ten seconds.

"Tsk~"

Kiyono Makoto clicked his tongue softly and couldn't help but retort:

"Congratulations, your decision-making difficulties are cured."

Nishimiya Glass: "..."

Having chosen her swimsuit, Nishimiya Shoko carried two swimsuits into the fitting room to try them on, while Kiyono Makoto waited silently outside the door.

The whole thing went smoothly, and the "lucky pervert" tag was surprisingly not triggered.

A dozen minutes later.

Nishimiya Shoko emerged after changing, her pretty face slightly flushed, and spoke softly in a gentle voice:

“Kiyono-kun...both swimsuits fit you perfectly.”

"These are them."

Kiyono Makoto put away his phone and went to the cashier with Nishimiya Shoko.

"Let's go pay the bill."

After paying the bill, the two left the swimsuit store together.

"I'm a little thirsty..."

As Kiyono Makoto was about to buy a drink, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a bob-haired girl wearing the same school uniform standing in front of a claw machine not far away.

"Kato?"

Even though he could only see her from behind, Kiyono Makoto recognized the girl at a glance.

"Eh, Kiyono-kun?"

Hearing the shout, Kato Megumi turned her head and looked over, her gaze lingering briefly on Nishimiya Shoko, her tone indifferent:

"Good afternoon, Shoko."

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko felt a strange sense of guilt welling up inside her, and her people-pleasing personality kicked in again:

"Xiao Hui, good afternoon... I'm sorry."

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

Why are you apologizing?

I came here openly and honestly to buy a swimsuit, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with me doing anything to Kato!

"Eh... why is Shoko apologizing?"

Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly, her tone puzzled.

"I……"

Nishimiya Shoko parted her pink lips and chose to flee:

“Um… I have an upset stomach, I’m going to the restroom.”

One is Shoko, a people-pleasing individual, and the other is a serene and easygoing saintly classmate; a battleground simply cannot occur between them.

With his hands in his pockets, Kiyono Makoto asked curiously:

What's Kato doing here?

Kato Megumi held up the shopping bag in her hand, her expression calm:

"My coupons are about to expire, so I came to grab some eggs and browse around a bit... Kiyono-kun, are you here to buy something?"

Kiyono Makoto spoke frankly and honestly:

"Come over and buy swimsuits with Shoko-san."

If you are upright, you have nothing to fear; there is absolutely no need to feel guilty.

Besides, if you can't even face the hellish battleground of crickets, how can you possibly clear a dungeon?

"Eh...buying a swimsuit?"

Kato Megumi's expression underwent a subtle change, but it was only for a brief moment and was completely unnoticeable without careful observation.

"Shoko-san fell into the water earlier..."

Kiyono Makoto briefly recounted what had happened over the past two days.

"Hmm, I see." Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips. "Kiyono-kun is right. Swimming is definitely something you should learn."

Kiyono Makoto looked at the claw machine: "Kato is playing the claw machine?"

“That panda plushie is so cute,” Kato Megumi replied softly, “but I’ve tried to catch it so many times and it’s so frustrating.”

Despite expressing his distress, the sage's expression remained calm, showing no sign of distress whatsoever.

"How about I give it a try?"

"Huh?"

Kiyono Makoto gave a thumbs up: "I'm a claw machine expert now."

"Then I'll leave it to Kiyono-kun." Kato Megumi pursed her beautiful lips, her voice gentle and pleasant. "Good luck, Kiyono-kun."

Kiyono Makoto took two steps forward and gripped the joystick: "Is it that panda plushie?"

"That's right, that's it."

"Leave it to me."

"..."

One minute later.

The panda plush toy fell to the ground with a thud.

The "Strong Luck" attribute continues to perform consistently well.

"Kiyono-kun is amazing." Kato Megumi bent down to pick up the doll, her eyes brightening slightly. "Kiyono-kun, that dog is cute too."

"receive."

"Hmm... I also want that bunny doll with the umbrella."

"..."

After easily grabbing several plush toys and running out of attempts, Kiyono Makoto was about to insert more coins when Kato Megumi gently shook her head.

"That's enough for today, we can't take any more."

“Then we’ll catch it again next time.” Kiyono Makoto nodded and invited, “Would you like to have dinner together later?”

"No, thank you," Kato Megumi declined calmly. "I still need to take the eggs home."

"Okay, don't forget to go for a run in the park tonight."

"Don't worry, Kiyono-kun, I won't forget."

"Also, remember to practice the Substitution Technique when you have free time."

"..."

As dusk fell.

Shoko never returned, so Kato Megumi took her leave first.

at the same time.

Behind a load-bearing pillar not far away, a short-haired girl wearing a hoodie stared at Kiyono Makoto with wide eyes and gritted teeth.

"Damn it! That guy cheated on me so quickly?!"

Nishimiya Yuzuru gritted her teeth.

"Helping other girls win plush toys behind her sister's back is clearly cheating!"

"This is infuriating! He deserves a beating!"

"..."

Just as Kiyono Makoto was about to play on his phone for a while, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw a girl in a hoodie rushing towards him.

"Yuzuru?"

Kiyono Makoto quickly recognized the other person's identity.

Did you follow Shoko to the swimming pool before, and now you've followed her to the mall?

Just how much of a sister complex are you?!

And what's with that murderous expression?

I acted with propriety and did not bully Shoko at all today!

at the same time.

A robotic vacuum cleaner slowly passed by, leaving a slightly damp trail on the ground.

Walking normally is no problem, but Nishimiya Yuzuru is in a charging state at this moment. When he stepped on it, he immediately lost his balance.

puff.

Yuzuru Nishimiya knelt down and slid to Makoto Kiyono's side.

Kiyono Makoto looked down and remained silent for two seconds:

"I will definitely help if I can, there's no need to beg me."

Yuzuru Nishimiya: "..."

asshole!

I didn't beg you, I just slipped and fell by accident!
