The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

[Note: There is no penalty for failing a side quest]

"There are even side quests..."

Seino Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Speaking of which, since it's a Demon Slayer dungeon, will we encounter the main characters like Tanjiro and Nezuko?"

Just when everyone thought it was over, lines of text popped up in front of Kiyono Makoto's eyes again.

[The theme park version update is successful... The achievement system is officially online.]

[Current dungeon offers the challenge achievement 1: Mad Photographer, take a group photo with all members of the Spider Ghost family]

[Achievement 2: Spider Destroyer. Kill all members of the Spider Demon Clan.]

[Achievement Three: Absolute Control. Successfully regained control of the body when it was being controlled by the Spider Demon Mother.]

[Achievement Four: The Chosen One. Before the main quest ends, successfully learn any one of the breathing techniques.]

[Note: The achievement system is unrelated to the main storyline. Unlocking achievements will not directly earn you points, but you will receive corresponding titles. Wearing these titles may bring unexpected surprises.]

—Strive to live on and seek the true meaning of life!

With that, the park announcement finally came to an end, and the dungeon officially opened.

"There's one more thing before we assemble..."

Kiyono Makoto turned his head and looked at the girl with long black hair not far away.

"Excuse me, which faction did you choose?"

First courtesy, then force.

If the opponent chooses the Demon faction, you can take action now.

As he spoke, Kiyono Makoto simply opened the character panel and selected to display the main quest.

"Glass."

Kiyono Makoto whispered a reminder.

Nishimiya Shoko nodded quickly, then opened her character panel, naturally choosing the Demon Hunter faction.

Seeing the two openly displaying their allegiances, the wariness in the long-haired girl's eyes finally dissipated somewhat. She parted her cherry lips slightly, her voice clear and pleasant, like pearls falling onto a jade plate:

"...I am from the Ghost Hunter faction."

Kiyono Makoto's eyes were calm:

"Please provide evidence."

"..."

The girl with long, straight black hair did not refuse, but silently opened the character panel. The key information was hidden and not visible, but the main quest was clearly displayed, confirming that she was indeed in the Ghost Hunter faction.

"Since we're both on the demon hunter side, then we'll be cooperating from now on."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly and smiled:

"May I ask your name?"

The girl with long, straight black hair crossed her arms, paused for two seconds, and then responded coolly:

"...Under the snow."

Even though they were partners, the girl with long, straight black hair remained wary and didn't reveal her full name, only her surname, and it was unclear whether it was true or not.

"Under the snow...?"

Kiyono Makoto's expression subtly shifted for a moment.

Could it be that absolutely correct Yukinoshita?

Despite the speculation, Makoto Kiyono didn't say anything more. He simply mentioned his and Shoko's surnames as a greeting, and then opened the team channel to prepare to meet up with the girls first.

After a brief inquiry, he discovered that the four girls—senior, Takumi, Kato Megumi, and Futaba—were together, while he and Shoko were 'strayed'.

"...by a lake halfway up the mountain?"

After learning the location of his senior and the others, Kiyono Makoto looked up at the long-haired girl with black hair not far away and explained briefly:

"I've assembled a full team, and all my teammates have chosen the Demon Hunter faction. We're currently at a lake halfway up the mountain... Yukinoshita, would you like to come up the mountain with us?"

"Formal team?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but her expression remained aloof.

"...I will follow behind."

Even if they were on the same side, Yukinoshita would not let her guard down completely, preferring to follow at a distance rather than walk alongside them.

"let's go."

Kiyono Makoto didn't care and climbed the mountain side by side with Shoko.

The three of them were at the foot of the mountain, and to find the lake, they naturally had to climb up.

A moment later, Nishimiya Shoko suddenly reached out her small hand and grabbed Kiyono Makoto's thumb, her voice tense:

"...Kiyono-kun, there's a sound ahead."

Without the oppressive fog of Silent Hill, Shoko's hearing became even more acute.

Kiyono Makoto quickly stopped and gestured for a pause behind him.

Under the understanding of the snow, he quickly held his breath and hid his figure in the shade of the trees.

In the darkness, the rustling sounds quickly became clear, and under the cold moonlight, a swaying figure emerged from the bushes.

The other party was a young woman dressed in a black samurai coat and white leggings, a style reminiscent of the old era. She was covered in mud and blood, and her movements were stiff, like a marionette.

"...A member of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly, quickly determining the other party's identity.

next second.

The Demon Slayer Corps member suddenly tilted his head to the side, then abruptly raised his katana and charged forward without a word.

"Glass, back off."

Kiyono Makoto remained calm, shielding Shoko behind him, then took out a samurai sword from his backpack and charged straight at her.

when!

Sparks flew.

The sound of hammering suddenly rang out.

clang clang ~

Kiyono Makoto parried the attacks while gathering intelligence.

"He is very strong, but lacks skill."

"Their movements were stiff, but their eyes were not blank; instead, they were filled with fear and pain..."

"Is it the power of the Spider Demon's mother from the comics?"

Kiyono Makoto suddenly unleashed his speed, slashing his sword towards the sky above the Demon Slayer Corps members' heads.

snort~

A soft sound came from mid-air, as if something unseen had been suddenly severed.

But the Demon Slayer Corps members did not stop; they continued to swing their swords.

At that moment, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out from under the snow:

"He should be a puppet controlled by the Spider Demon Mother. She can release spiderlings that bite humans and spit venom, thus controlling their bodies. Cutting the threads won't help."

"Thank you, my hazy memories have suddenly become clear."

While making sarcastic remarks, Kiyono Makoto prepared to use water magic to control his opponent.

"I'll take control of her."

As Yukino Yukinoshita's voice rang out, the sound of a bowstring vibrating suddenly came from behind.

Whoosh!

An arrow formed from moonlight shot out like lightning, hitting the Demon Slayer Corps member squarely in the body.

The moonlight arrow shattered suddenly, then transformed into a rope of light that bound the Demon Slayer Corps members.

Kiyono Makoto quickly turned his head and looked at the girl with long, straight black hair in surprise.

Such a swift and decisive move, you're definitely not a newbie anymore...

"The task of finding the spider is entrusted to me."

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath and stepped forward to confront Onigumo.

Saving a Demon Slayer Corps member will earn you extra points, so don't miss out!

Just then, something unexpected happened.

Nishimiya Shoko, who was quietly hiding to the side and not causing any trouble, suddenly felt a pain in her neck. Her eyes quickly filled with panic, and she uncontrollably and quietly walked towards Kiyono Makoto...

Chapter 135 Under the Snow: I Want to Draw a Card!

"My body...I can't control it..."

Nishimiya Shoko opened her beautiful eyes wide in tension, wanting to struggle, but found that her body had become like a puppet on strings, completely out of her control.

"I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my neck... Did a little spider bite me?"

Although she had become a puppet, Nishimiya Shoko was only panicked and not afraid.

the reason is simple.

With Kiyono by my side, I'm sure I'll be rescued.

"Hey, why is my body moving towards Kiyono-san?"

Nishimiya Shoko finally panicked when she realized that her body had taken on its own and was heading straight for Kiyono Makoto.
