The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

Before we knew it, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

The doorbell rang precisely on time, down to the second.

Kiyono Makoto put down the controller, got up and opened the door. A petite girl in a white coat and glasses, with slightly curly gray hair, came into view. It was Futaba Rio.

"Good afternoon, Kiyono."

Shuangyiqiliuyiyier IхWoyeliyang looked up at them with her little face, holding a souvenir in her hand:

"This is a wagashi (Japanese sweets) shop near my home. It's been open for over fifty years and the taste is excellent."

"Thank you, I'll try it later."

Kiyono Makoto accepted the gift, let Futaba in, and gave the science-oriented girl a pair of pink bunny slippers:

"These are brand new slippers, no one has used them before, they will be your exclusive slippers from now on."

"..."

Rio Futaba looked down at the pink bunny slippers, her expression calm. She didn't seem to care much about the color or style, but when she saw the tag with her name on it, her breath hitched slightly.

"...My own special slippers?"

Even though it was my first time here, they actually prepared slippers for me...

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses, bent down to change her slippers, and felt a slight burning sensation at the tips of her ears.

"Thank you, Kiyono."

Seino Makoto asked from the side:

"How's your shoulder? Do you want me to massage it for you now?"

"No." Rio Futaba turned her face slightly away and refused in a low voice, "My shoulder is fine now, just a little stiff, but not uncomfortable."

Kiyono Makoto nodded: "Then let's talk about it tonight. Let's have something to drink first, and then we'll go next door to say hello to the senior, and then go to the supermarket together to buy groceries?"

"……it is good."

Rio Futaba had no objection to Makoto Kiyono's arrangement and quietly agreed.

A moment later.

After finishing her drink, Futaba followed Kiyono Makoto out to the next room, greeted her senior, and gave her another souvenir.

"Thank you, Futaba."

Kasumigaoka Utaha whispered her thanks.

The closer the relationship between people, the more casual their attitude tends to be.

That's why the senior's attitude towards Kiyono is different from her attitude towards Futaba.

"I'll go make some tea."

Kasumigaoka Utaha got up and went to make tea, unusually displaying her status as the hostess.

After a brief chat, the three of them went out together to a nearby large supermarket to buy groceries.

"Junior, the task of pushing the cart is now yours."

Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke in a languid voice, tilting her head to look over.

Makoto Kiyono pushed a shopping cart over:

"You are in charge of selecting the ingredients."

The senior student turned her head and looked at the quiet science student next to her:

"If Futaba wants any of the dishes, just take them. Today, Junior-kun will be cooking, so if there's anything you don't want to eat, remember to tell me in advance."

Futaba Rin nods gently: "Understood."

The three chatted as they headed to the ingredients section, with Makoto Kiyono pushing the cart while his senior and Futaba selected the ingredients.

Men and women working together makes the work less tiring.

Looking at the figures of the two girls in front of him, Kiyono Makoto felt unusually calm.

If only things could stay like this forever...

next second.

A sudden burning pain shot through the back of my hand, as if it were on fire.

"Ok?"

Kiyono Makoto quickly looked down at the back of his hand and saw that the Paradise Mark was flickering slightly.

A cold, ruthless, and vast voice resounded deep within his mind:

The mandatory dungeon will officially open in one hour. Players, please be prepared.

"...They've arrived."

Kiyono Makoto took a deep breath, his expression immediately turning serious.

"Junior?"

Behind her came Kasumigaoka Utaha's anxious, low voice calling out.

Kiyono Makoto turned his head and saw his senior biting her lower lip, with obvious tension in her eyes.

The difficulty of the dungeon will be dynamically balanced with the player's strength, so even experienced players can perish if they are not careful. It is perfectly normal for the senior to be nervous.

Although Futaba didn't speak, her body was clearly tense, and her eyes stared at her without blinking.

They exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly; they had all clearly received the instance notification.

This is the advantage of formally forming a team: when participating in mandatory dungeons, you don't have to fight alone; you can enter the dungeon as a team.

"call……"

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath, his voice steady:

"Buy the ingredients first, take them back and put them in the refrigerator. After clearing the dungeon, come back and prepare the meal properly."

"..."

Chapter 133 The Girls' Preparation Time

"Besides us, everyone else should have received a notification from the park, right?"

"Futaba said softly."

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone vibrated slightly in his pocket.

Kiyono Makoto took out his phone, and as expected, it was a message from Takumi and the others.

Eriri: "You idiot Seino, I just received a dungeon notification!"

Kato Megumi: "Kiyono-kun, the mark on the back of your hand suddenly became hot."

Nishimiya Shoko: "Um...should we gather together first?"

"..."

As expected, all the girls who officially formed a team received a notification for the dungeon.

Kiyono Makoto remained calm and silently sent a location message:

"There's still an hour before the dungeon opens, let's meet at my place first."

"..."

Putting away his phone, Kiyono Makoto looked at the girl with glasses:

"How's the forging of the equipment going?"

The equipment that Futaba is currently forging is a dagger intended for Saint to use.

Unfortunately, Kato Megumi only has a few dozen points. Buying a fruit knife is no problem, but she definitely can't afford a weapon, so she needs help forging a dagger.

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses:

"No problem, it will be forged in half an hour at most."

Seino Makoto nodded slightly:

"Let's speed things up, buy what we need, and head back early."

"..."

With time running out, the three of them stopped taking their time and began to move with surprising urgency.

While passing through the seafood area, Kiyono Makoto casually bought a pufferfish with the "poison" attribute, intending to strip the attribute and load it onto his dagger.

“Let’s buy more ingredients,” Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly suggested softly. “After we clear the dungeon, we can all have a meal together… The more people, the more fun it will be since it’s our first time cooking.”

Seino Makoto looked at his senior and nodded in agreement:

"That's a good option."

"..."

A moment later.

The three carried the groceries back to their senior's house.

"Let's put the ingredients in the refrigerator first; there's definitely no time to cook them now."

After entering the house, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly got to work.

Rio Futaba helped out from the side, and after she finished, she turned to look over:

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, I want to ask you for a favor."

"what's up?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head curiously.

As far as I can remember, this seems to be the first time Futaba has formally asked me for help. You know, Futaba is the kind of person who absolutely hates bothering others, so for her to suddenly ask me for help now... it must be something very important, right?

Futaba Rio looked calm:

"Before entering the dungeon, we should prepare as much as possible, but the curse on Qingye has not yet been fulfilled."
