The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

The thought flashed through her mind, but it made Rio Futaba's face turn bright red.

(Stop right now!)

(Don't let your imagination run wild!)

(That was just an accident!)

Rio Futaba quickly turned her pretty face away, trying to calm herself down with deep breaths, but unfortunately, her blushing cheeks were nowhere to be hidden.

Why is your face suddenly so red?

Kiyono Makoto's tone was puzzled:

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"……Um."

Rio Futaba lightly bit her lower lip and gave a mumbled reply.

Kiyono Makoto casually said:

"If your stomach hurts, go to the restroom. Don't be shy."

Rio Futaba's cheeks puffed up quickly, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"...Idiot Kiyono!"

I don't need to go to the bathroom!

Fortunately, Seiichi Kiyono interrupted her, and the chaotic memories were finally suppressed.

Rio Futaba took a deep breath, held her breath, and began to carefully forge the equipment.

After half an hour.

The equipment was finally successfully forged.

"call……"

Rio Futaba breathed a sigh of relief.

Even with Makoto Kiyono helping to replenish mana, the constant high level of concentration still left me feeling exhausted.

"It's almost nine o'clock, I'm going back now."

Kiyono Makoto glanced at the time on his phone and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Rio Futaba stood up, escorted Makoto Kiyono to the door, and looked up at him to confirm:

"Kiyono-kun, is the fishing net ready?"

"Ready, standard extinction net."

If a workman wants to be good, he must first sharpen his weapon.

Before going to an island to search for a needle in a haystack, you should of course prepare your tools first.

Not only did Kiyono Makoto and Kato Megumi buy the anti-theft net in advance, but they even tested it with marbles, and not a single marble from the convenience store could leak through.

See you tomorrow evening.

Kiyono Makoto waved goodbye.

There are two ways to get to Hachijojima Island.

One option is to travel by airplane, and the other is to travel by cruise ship.

Needless to say, airplanes are very fast, but after discussing it with the girls, Makoto Kiyono ultimately chose to travel by cruise ship.

the reason is simple.

The cruise ship departs in the evening, which is a perfect time to enjoy the night view of Tokyo Bay, as most of us have never seen Tokyo Bay at night.

After sleeping on the cruise ship overnight, you'll arrive at Hachijojima Island the next morning. No jet lag is needed. After dropping off your luggage at the hot spring hotel, you can head straight to the beach to complete the sealing challenge.

The Golden Week holiday is a full ten days long, so taking your time is perfectly fine.

"……Wait a moment."

Just as Kiyono Makoto changed his shoes, he suddenly heard Futaba Rio's soft call in his ear.

"what happened?"

Kiyono Makoto turned his head to look over there.

"Someone just sent me a private message through the player forum." Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses and said expectantly, "...a player wants to sell skill scrolls."

"Ok?"

Kiyono Makoto immediately became interested:

"What skill?"

Rio Futaba didn't say anything, but directly displayed the attributes of the skill scroll.

[Item: Ice Magic Scroll]

Category: Consumables

[Current remaining learning attempts: 1]

[Note: After using the magic scroll, you will randomly learn one ice-type spell. Each person can only learn it once.]

[Scroll Origin: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]

“Ice magic is very practical, and it might even create a synergistic effect with Kiyono’s water magic.” Rio Futaba tilted her head up, her eyes bright. “I suggest we take it.”

Kiyono Makoto asked curiously:

How many points did the other party quote?

Rio Futaba, hands in her pockets: "Five thousand points."

Kiyono Makoto frowned: "Too many."

“The price is negotiable,” Rio Futaba said lightly. “The reason they quoted such a high price is simply to leave more room for negotiation… I’ll ask if two thousand points would be acceptable.”

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

You cut the price by more than half right off the bat! I didn't realize you were such a bargaining pro!

After some haggling and negotiating, and with the promise that she would give priority to selling the item to the other party under the same conditions in the future, Rio Futaba successfully negotiated the price of the scroll down to 3,500 points.

“This price is acceptable.” Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly. “If everyone contributes, each person will only need to put up a few hundred points.”

Spending a few hundred points to buy an ice magic spell is definitely a very profitable deal.

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses and tilted her head up to ask:

"The question now is, has Kiyono-kun discovered any other items with the [Repair] attribute?"

If there is no "Repair" attribute, then the magic scroll is just a one-time consumable; once it's used up, it's gone.

“There really is one.” Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly. “When I was browsing the player forum this afternoon, I happened to find a white-quality item with repair attributes, and I bought it as soon as I could.”

Rio Futaba's eyes lit up:

"That's perfect for learning magic."

Kiyono Makoto shook his head: "It's already been used up."

"Huh?"

"I have awakened a brand new superpower: [Loli King]..."

Kiyono Makoto coughed twice and explained his abilities in a low voice.

In future dungeons, it's highly likely that everyone will be turned into a loli (young girl); we can't keep hiding it forever.

First, add a "Repair" attribute to Lollipop to turn consumables into permanent items. Next, we need to continue looking for new attributes, such as extending the duration of the effect.

"...His abilities are terrible."

Rio Futaba listened attentively, then couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath:

"However... it sounds quite impressive."

Kiyono Makoto smiled and said:

"Futaba, would you like to try it?"

"...No way."

Rio Futaba covered her chest with both hands, turned her pretty face away, and refused softly.

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto retorted:

"Who said, 'What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand'?"

Futaba Rio: "..."

I'm right, but the idea of ​​becoming a loli is just awful, I have absolutely no desire to experience it!

"Without repairing the entry, the scroll won't be useful for a while after I bought it."

Rio Futaba quietly changed the subject.

“Don’t worry, I saw a healing item in the shop called ‘Nano Spray.’ It can quickly stop bleeding and even reattach severed limbs, but it’s quite expensive…it costs two thousand points.” Kiyono Makoto’s voice was steady. “It just so happens that it has the ‘Repair’ attribute.”

Rio Futaba pursed her beautiful lips upon hearing this:

"The nano spray should also be purchased as a team. Together with the ice magic scroll, the total points are 5,500. On average, each person needs to contribute about 1,000 points... Let's ask for everyone's opinion first."

Kiyono Makoto nodded: "I'll ask. I'm sure no one will refuse."

Paying 1,000 points to master an ice magic spell is definitely a worthwhile investment.

Kiyono Makoto opened the squad group chat and briefly explained the situation.

Not surprisingly.

The girls readily agreed, and none of them refused.

Eriri: "We have to buy it. Of course, the more skills the better. The Substitution Jutsu is terrible. I don't want to use it at all."

Megumi Kato: "Ice magic that costs less than a thousand points is something to look forward to."

Shoko: "...I agree."
