The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

Under Rio Futaba's mental control, a miniature wrench continuously traced and tapped on the raw material, feeling like carving patterns on tofu, which made people nervous just watching it.

Seino Makoto sat quietly beside him, silently protecting him.

After half an hour.

With a soft 'hum', the weapon prototype quietly shone with white light, then quickly solidified and took shape, instantly transforming into an iron helmet. Unfortunately, the item's grade was not high; it remained the lowest-grade white item.

"……it's over."

Rio Futaba let out a long sigh of relief, took off her monocle, and turned to look at Makoto Kiyono. A slight sheen of sweat glistened on the girl's forehead, but her eyes shone brightly.

"Kiyono's mana replenishment ability is incredibly useful. My mental energy is constantly recovering rapidly. Without you, I would have given up long ago. Normally, I would have had to rest at least several times in the middle."

"I'm glad it helps, but the recovery efficiency can be increased by up to 200%, and the previous one was too inefficient." Kiyono Makoto flexed his wrists. "...A hug might be more efficient, do you want to try it?"

Rio Futaba widened her eyes slightly, then unconsciously turned her face away, whispering her refusal:

"...No way."

Even a science-loving girl who loves to let data speak for itself will be shy and refuse something.

Cuckoo.

Suddenly, the cooing of a little pigeon rang out.

Rio Futaba blushed and quickly covered her stomach with both hands.

As we all know, the brain is the largest energy-consuming organ in the human body, and people get hungry very easily when they concentrate on studying or thinking.

"Verification complete, equipment successfully forged. Kiyono, hurry home, I'm going to make myself some instant noodles."

Rio Futaba turned her face away and gave him the order to leave.

"Then I'm going back."

Kiyono Makoto nodded in agreement.

It was still early, and there was no rain or wind outside, so there was really no reason to stay overnight.

Following Futaba into the living room, Kiyono Makoto stopped in his tracks:

"I need to use the restroom."

Rio Futaba pointed: "There's a sign hanging on the door."

"..."

After taking care of the hygiene issues, Kiyono Makoto came out and saw Futaba standing in the kitchen with a seafood cup of instant noodles in front of her, pouring hot water into it.

His gaze swept over the still-open cabinet, revealing over a dozen different flavors of instant noodles—an outrageously large quantity. Kiyono Makoto was speechless.

"You have so many cup noodles... You don't actually eat this kind of nutritionally worthless stuff every day, do you?"

It's fine to eat it once in a while, but you'd definitely get tired of it if you ate it every day!

"Cup noodles are the greatest invention of mankind, bar none."

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses, her tone leaving no room for argument.

"Isn't that too high a rating?"

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto was taken aback and subconsciously retorted:

"I thought that in Futaba's mind, things like quantum computers were the greatest inventions."

“That kind of thing is too far removed from daily life; you might never come into contact with it in your entire life.” Rio Futaba held the cup noodles in both hands, as if giving an academic presentation. “But cup noodles have three irreplaceable advantages.”

"Appreciate further details."

"First, there's the time cost."

Futaba held up one finger; the girl's finger was snow-white, slender, and quite beautiful.

"Cooking is too troublesome. You have to buy ingredients, wash them, and then wash the dishes and clean up the food waste. You spend two hours but only get a ten-minute meal. The cost-effectiveness is pitifully low. But cup noodles only take three minutes to meet the body's energy needs. They are simple, quick, and save time, which is equivalent to saving your life."

That's true, but cooking also has its fun aspects!

"Secondly, the surface of the cup is stable and orderly."

Rio Futaba continued explaining her reasons. Despite usually being quiet and reserved, she was now displaying an unusually devout attitude towards the cup noodles, her earnest expression unexpectedly adorable.

"No matter which city or which convenience store, the taste of cup noodles will be the same. In this chaotic world full of uncertainty, stability and order are a rare miracle."

Hey, it's just a regular cup of noodles, it doesn't seem like a miracle at all, does it?

"third……"

Rio Futaba lightly bit her lower lip, unconsciously turning her pretty face away, her voice becoming softer:

"Cup noodles come in a variety of flavors and taste great. If I were to cook for myself... it would be terrible."

As a science-oriented girl, Futaba can brew coffee in a beaker and conduct various physics and chemistry experiments with precision, but for some reason, every time she enters the kitchen, it's a disaster.

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly, stepped to the kitchen doorway, and peered inside. Looking at the excessively clean kitchen, completely devoid of any signs of human activity, his tone was subtle:

"By the way, when was the last time Futaba cooked?"

"...I forgot."

Rio Futaba raised the glass to cover her face, her muffled voice coming from behind it, clearly not wanting to embarrass herself.

"Now is the best time to eat cup noodles. Kiyono-kun, don't disturb me while I'm eating my cup noodles. Hurry up and go home, or the cup noodles will cry."

As a science whiz, you should know very well that instant noodles won't cry!

"I'm going back now." Kiyono Makoto waved goodbye. "Would you like to come back tomorrow to help replenish mana?"

Rio Futaba turned her face away: "...We'll talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow."

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

"You didn't even plan ahead, Doraemon, you're so lazy."

Futaba Rio: "..."

That's enough small talk.

Kiyono Makoto didn't disturb Futaba any longer while she was eating her cup noodles, and said goodbye and left.

Silent all night.

the next day.

Today is the last day before the holiday, and the Golden Week holiday will officially begin tomorrow. The atmosphere in the classroom is particularly lively and noisy.

Kiyono Makoto sat down until school ended, as usual. His ninjutsu scroll had just fully healed, so he took out his phone and sent a message to his upperclassman:

"Senior, do you have time now?"

The message was quickly marked as read.

Senior student replied to the message:

"Does my junior want to invite me on a date?"

"Well, we just happen to need to go out and gather materials, so agreeing might not be a bad idea."

"Come to the classroom and find me. I need your help with your things."

"..."

"Actually, I needed to call my senior to the rooftop..."

Just as Kiyono Makoto was about to explain, his phone suddenly vibrated.

Nishimiya Shoko: "Kiyono-kun, can you come to my house now?"

Chapter 102 Sister Sandwich

"what happened?"

Kiyono Makoto asked curiously for the reason.

Nishimiya Shoko quickly explained:

“Yesterday evening, when I was on my way home, I passed by a small bridge and saw a cat fall into the water. Yuzuru went to save the cat, and his knee got into the river water. The wound became infected and inflamed, and it looks red and swollen.”

“My mom has been working late every day lately and is super tired when she gets home. I don’t want her to worry… so I asked Kiyono to come and help with the treatment.”

"..."

After reading the message, Kiyono Makoto quickly agreed:

"Okay, I'll be right there."

"..."

After agreeing to help, Kiyono Makoto prepared to leave the school, but suddenly remembered that he hadn't replied to his senior's message, so he took out his phone again:

"Senior, the date is canceled. I'm going to Shoko's house."

at the same time.

In the third-grade classroom.

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat by the window, her left hand supporting her chin, her right hand playing with her phone, her pink lips slightly upturned, clearly in a very good mood.

Her near-perfect profile, coupled with the sweet curve of her lips, makes many boys secretly stop and stare, unable to move.

"Date canceled...did he go see another woman?"

Upon seeing the message pop up on her phone, Kasumigaoka Utaha's smile vanished instantly, her beautiful wine-red eyes narrowed, and a dangerous aura subtly emanated from her.

The aloofness of the high-class beauty subtly spread, causing the temperature in the classroom to drop rapidly. Several boys who were secretly peeking shivered, feeling the chill, and quickly slipped away.

"Hehehe... He just asked me out, and after I agreed, he immediately stood me up. My junior is really infuriating."

"..."

After half an hour.

Kiyono Makoto arrived at the Nishimiya family's door and rang the doorbell.

Footsteps sounded quickly, the door opened, and behind it stood a bright-eyed girl with a ponytail.

"Good afternoon, Kiyono-kun."
