The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

"Is this monster in the shadows trying to control itself to hurt Kiyono-kun?"

"do not want!"

"Absolutely not!"

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko wasn't worried about hurting Kiyono. With her abilities, even if her body was controlled, she couldn't possibly defeat Kiyono Makoto. But even if she only hurt him, she would still feel extremely guilty.

"……careful!"

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, subconsciously drawing back the bowstring, and the cool light began to gather once more.

"Don't do it."

Kiyono Makoto stretched out his right hand to stop Yukino, then calmly looked at Shoko.

Being observant and attentive is a player's basic skill. When Shoko suddenly started moving, he had already noticed her unusual behavior.

"You should be able to hear me, right?"

Kiyono Makoto's voice was calm and steady.

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko rushed over without saying a word, her eyes filled with panic and anxiety.

"Can't you speak?"

Kiyono Makoto stepped back half a step, dodging Shoko's attack, his expression remaining calm.

Shoko's attack was completely chaotic, even worse than the Demon Slayer Corps members from before. She didn't take out any weapons from her personal space, nor did she use any skills. Clearly, the spider demon behind her had control over her body only and couldn't affect the Paradise behind the player.

Since you're conscious... using your skills shouldn't be a problem, right?

Kiyono Makoto glanced at the female Demon Slayer Corps member beside him, who was bound by beams of light but was still struggling desperately, with blood even spilling from the corner of her mouth, and simply gave the order:

"Shoko, use the Substitution Jutsu."

The Spider Demon Mother's abilities are troublesome; she can even control puppets to self-destruct. No one knows what she might control Shoko to do. For safety's sake, we must find the little spider on Shoko's body as soon as possible.

The mountain was dimly lit, making it difficult to find the little spider.

In that case, the substitution technique becomes the best option.

Shoko's current Substitution Jutsu level is still very low, so she cannot move to another location while carrying her clothes.

After using the Stand, Spider-Man might detach directly, or he might be transferred along with Shoko, but either way, it would be better than the current situation.

Moreover, besides him, there was only one female member of the Demon Slayer Corps and Yukino Yukinoshita present, so even if there was a wardrobe malfunction, there was no need to worry too much.

"..."

Upon hearing the order, Nishimiya Shoko did not delay at all and quickly used the Substitution Technique, disappearing instantly, leaving only her clothes slowly drifting down.

"Ok?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's pupils suddenly contracted, and she looked over sharply.

Instant teleportation?

That girl, Nishimiya, who looks like a complete newbie, actually possesses such amazing abilities?

next second.

Suddenly, a figure so white it seemed to glow appeared in the air in front of Kiyono Makoto.

As expected, after using the Substitute Technique, Shoko instantly transformed into a little white lamb.

The moonlight fell on the girl's snow-white skin, even brightening the dim forest.

"Ugh..."

Noticing Kiyono Makoto's gaze, Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face quickly turned red. She frantically tried to raise her arms to cover her chest, but her body remained in a puppet-like state, completely unable to move.

The spider demon mother behind her seemed shocked by what had just happened. After a second of stunned silence, she controlled Shoko to raise her arms and launch an attack.

Puff puff~

As the glass moved, the slime suddenly became lively and active, showing the youthful vitality unique to a young girl.

(No, no!!!)

Realizing her current shameful state, Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face immediately turned bright red, almost to the point of bleeding.

"Oh no, it's a sexual assault..."

While inwardly complaining, Kiyono Makoto narrowed his eyes, his gaze rapidly sweeping over every inch of Shoko's skin.

Shoko is still launching attacks, proving that after using the Stand technique, Spider-Man is still on her body and did not leave with the clothes.

"Nothing on the neck..."

"There's nothing on my chest..."

"There's none on your thighs either..."

Kiyono Makoto quickly scanned the girl's snow-white skin, and finding nothing, he decisively slipped behind Shoko.

Under the cold moonlight, a black spider the size of a soybean finally appeared before my eyes.

"...on his back!"

Kiyono Makoto swiftly extended his right hand and grabbed the Onigumo on Shoko's back.

Seemingly sensing the approaching danger, the little spider suddenly struggled and turned its head to bite Kiyono Makoto.

*Splat*

Kiyono Makoto remained calm, and with a slight increase in force, crushed it.

With a burst of black mist, Onigumo quickly vanished into the moonlight.

at the same time.

A notification pops up in front of Kiyono Makoto's eyes:

You have killed the Spider Demon Mother's puppet spider and gained one point.

"I'm so sorry...!"

The girl's flustered and ashamed apology suddenly rang out.

As the little spider was crushed, Shoko finally regained control of her body. Her pretty face was burning hot, and she hurriedly covered her chest and squatted on the ground.

"Don't apologize yet, hurry up and get dressed."

Kiyono Makoto quickly picked up the scattered clothes, handed them to Shoko, and then turned to walk towards the female member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"……call."

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a soft breath and silently put away her longbow.

As fellow members of the Ghost Hunter faction, the stronger your teammates are, the higher your chances of winning... So far, they don't seem to be clueless teammates who are helpless in the face of trouble.

With a slight shift in her gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Kiyono.

The girl clearly looked up to the boy in front of her, but so far, the boy had only shown considerable physical strength... What kind of abilities could he possibly have?

Kiyono Makoto walked up to the female member of the Demon Slayer Corps, half-squatted down, and looked directly into her pained and terrified eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

"...I need to have my license checked."

Splash!

As soon as the words were spoken, playing cards flew out and appeared in the air.

Shoko is an important teammate and must be rescued immediately, but the female player from the Demon Slayer Corps in front of us is not; she can be used as an experimental subject.

"……Um?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and she involuntarily took a few steps forward, her gaze falling on the card in mid-air, her heart beating faster.

The previous dungeon she experienced was "Slay the Spire," during which she encountered a monster called "Grasshopper Thief." After successfully completing the dungeon, she obtained the skill "Card Thief" from the completion chest.

The skill description is simple: it allows you to steal one of the enemy's cards during battle.

The problem is that once you leave the Slay the Spire instance, this skill becomes extremely useless.

In other dungeons, whether it's players or monsters, who carries cards?

Even if they did carry the cards, there would be no point in stealing them.

But at this moment, looking at the cards floating in mid-air, Yukino Yukinoshita's heart suddenly raced, and a bold idea involuntarily arose in her mind.

The cards in front of me are also cards... Can I steal them?

What would happen if we actually managed to steal it?

Yukinoshita parted her pink lips, but ultimately chose to remain silent, not in a hurry to speak.

"This is a skill similar to reconnaissance."

Kiyono Makoto turned to look at the long-haired girl with black hair who had walked up to him and casually explained.

Name: White Bird Iris

[Ability: Water Breathing Technique]

Basic attributes: ...

[Weaknesses: Sweets, soles of feet, earlobes]

[Current Status: Being controlled by a spider, which is located behind the right earlobe]

"……very good."

Kiyono Makoto's eyes lit up slightly.

Although it requires eye-to-eye contact to activate the ability, which is a bit troublesome, it has to be said that the amount of information obtained is enormous, covering almost every detail.

Kiyono Makoto swiftly extended his right hand, quickly reached behind the female team member's right ear, and pinched a small spider.

Splat~

With a slight squeeze of his fingertips, the little spider was instantly crushed, turning into a cloud of black mist and disappearing without a trace.
