The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

Shoko's eyelashes trembled slightly as she silently looked down at her toes.

"……hateful!"

Only Nishimiya Yuzuru clenched her fists.

That guy helped someone else carry their suitcase, but didn't even ask his sister?

This is infuriating!

Although my sister didn't say anything, she must have been extremely upset inside!

A moment later.

Makoto Kiyono and the girls successfully boarded the ship.

Following the staff's directions, we arrived at the fourth floor, found our reserved room, and then proceeded with room assignments.

Needless to say, Shoko naturally shared a room with Yuzuru.

Eriri and her senior are at odds, so they naturally have to live separately. Eriri chooses to team up with Kato, while her senior shares a room with Futaba.

In the end, only Kiyono Makoto was left all alone, and he had to live alone.

"Everyone, take a 20-minute break, then we'll gather and head to the restaurant for lunch."

After quickly planning his itinerary, Kiyono Makoto pushed open the door and entered his room.

The room was small, with two single beds, a small coffee table, and a regular TV. Other than that, there were basically no other facilities, but thankfully the most important one, the bathroom, was included.

After quickly resolving the hygiene issue, Kiyono Makoto played on his phone for a while, and before he knew it, it was time to meet up with the girls. They then headed to the restaurant for dinner.

"We've arrived at the restaurant."

"Oh, it's a buffet."

"There are a lot of guests."

"..."

Upon arriving at the restaurant, it was bustling with people coming and going.

“Everyone can choose what they want to eat.” Kiyono Makoto picked up a plate. “The cost of food is included in the ship ticket. As long as you don’t waste food, you can eat as much as you want.”

After choosing the dishes he wanted to eat, Kiyono Makoto carried his plate and sat down in a quiet corner.

Before long, the girls came over with their trays.

Kiyono Makoto looked up and was immediately speechless.

Pan-fried dumplings?

Sushi?

Fruit juice drinks?

Vegetable salad?

They even have ramen?

The way you guys eat at a buffet, the owner will be laughing in his sleep!

"Well……"

Rio Futaba took a small bite of the rib on her plate, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.

Unappetizing.

The texture was rather dry, and it tasted entirely of seasonings, with almost no flavor of the meat itself.

Quietly putting down the half-eaten rib, Rio Futaba quietly raised her eyes and looked at Makoto Kiyono sitting opposite her.

(As expected, Kiyono's cooking is much better...)

"what happened?"

Kiyono Makoto quickly noticed Futaba's gaze.

"……fine."

Rio Futaba unconsciously turned her face away, her ear tips turning slightly red.

Kiyono Makoto's gaze shifted, landing on the ribs the girl had only half-eaten and put down, and he quickly understood:

"It's not a luxury cruise ship after all, so it's normal that the buffet is just average. I'll cook for you after the Golden Week holiday."

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses and replied softly:

"...Cooking every day must be a hassle, right?"

"I didn't say I'd cook every day," Kiyono Makoto said casually. "Cooking a meal every few days is just the right way to avoid getting tired, and I can still enjoy the fun of cooking myself. What do you think?"

Rio Futaba pursed her pretty lips, her face slightly flushed, and softly agreed:

"……it is good."

Although she felt somewhat ashamed, Rio Futaba chose to follow her heart.

It's just a meal out...no problem at all.

After having a satisfying meal, Makoto Kiyono and the girls walked out of the buffet restaurant, only to find that night had already fallen.

A crescent moon quietly rose in the sky.

A cool sea breeze blew in my face, making me feel exceptionally comfortable.

"It's still early, shall we all go to the deck and enjoy the night view?"

Eriri put her hands on her hips and offered her suggestion in a clear, crisp voice.

“The room is too stuffy.” Kiyono Makoto nodded in agreement. “Let’s go to the deck and get some fresh air.”

"Upstairs, upstairs."

"..."

Everyone readily agreed to Zhai Li's suggestion.

Before long, the group arrived at the sixth deck, where the view suddenly opened up.

Not far away, the Tsukiji Bridge was bustling with traffic, and brightly lit buildings stretched out before us. In the distance, the Tokyo Skytree and Sky Tower were glittering with lights.

"Wow, it's so beautiful."

"I've never seen the Tokyo Bay night view from a cruise ship before."

"Take photos, keep them as material."

Eriri happily took out a camera, snapped a few photos, and then enthusiastically suggested:

"Everyone come over and let's take a group photo!"

The senior student rarely nodded in agreement: "Well, it's definitely worth taking photos to commemorate our first team building trip."

The camera was handed to another girl on the same boat, and the group quickly gathered together to take pictures.

“Junior, you’re too tall.” Kasumigaoka Utaha reached out and tugged at Kiyono Makoto’s sleeve, her tone casual. “Come stand in the middle.”

"it is good."

Once Kiyono Makoto stood in the middle, the senior naturally stood to his right in the center position.

Eriri, with her rosy cheeks slightly puffed out, stood quietly to Makoto Kiyono's left. The other girls, however, did not vie for her attention and stood casually on either side.

"...We're too close!"

Warning bells rang in Nishimiya Yuzuru's mind.

As a girl herself, Yuzuru Nishimiya is very aware of a woman's sense of propriety.

If it's not a romantic relationship, but just a regular friend, I would definitely keep my distance from the guy and wouldn't be arm in arm with him.

If it was just a suspicion before, now Yuzuru Nishimiya is 100% certain that the super pretty Kasumigaoka-senpai and the fair-skinned Eriri-senpai both have feelings for the scumbag Kiyono.

As for my older sister...

Nishimiya Yuzuru's gaze shifted to her unassuming older sister beside her, and she sighed silently in her heart.

We can't compete with them.

The older sister couldn't possibly out-steal from the other person, could she?

Click.

The photo freezes in time.

We enjoyed the breeze, took photos, and admired the night view on the deck. Before we knew it, it was nine o'clock in the evening.

"...Yesterday Futaba learned ice magic, who should we choose today?"

Kiyono Makoto hesitated for half a second, then quickly made a decision.

"Senior, you're the one."

Kiyono Makoto walked over to the senior student who was admiring the night view and gently poked her waist.

My senior is incredibly petty; this time, she absolutely cannot be left behind in the ice magic scroll competition.

Since that's the case, why not let my senior master ice magic now?

Although Futaba took it the first time, as long as Eriri is stronger, Senpai probably won't care.

"...Junior?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head and looked over, her peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed:

"The defensive midfield position is a no-go zone for girls. Without a reasonable explanation, you'll have to lose reward points."

"Come back to my room with me," Kiyono Makoto said in a low voice. "We'll give you a surprise, senpai."

"Huh?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha covered her chest with her right hand:

"As night falls, has my junior finally lost control of his animalistic instincts and decided to do this and that to me?"

Kiyono Makoto, expressionless, turned and made as if to leave:

"I called you back to your room so you could learn magic scrolls. Since you don't want to, I'll go call Eriri instead."
