The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

"Who wants this earring?"

Kiyono Makoto asked.

"Give it to me."

Kasumigaoka Utaha reached out a slender hand and took the earring.

"……hateful!"

Eriri secretly puffed out her cheeks, but the fat woman in black stockings beat her to it.

The senior student took the earring and put it on her right ear.

next second.

A mysterious and profound feeling welled up in both of their hearts at the same time, as if an invisible string of fate had quietly connected the two of them.

"...It feels amazing."

Kiyono Makoto sounded surprised, finding it quite novel to see things from someone else's perspective.

“It’s really amazing.” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her pink lips turned up slightly, forming a sweet curve. “Being able to activate the item, it seems that my junior and I are destined to be together.”

"what?"

Eriri put her hands on her hips and couldn't help but complain:

"It's just that I can wear earrings. To say it's destiny is a bit of an exaggeration."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and looked over:

"Sawamura-kun, you're in a hurry."

Eriri: "I wasn't in a hurry, I was just telling the truth!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha still wears a victor's smile:

"Well, someone might not be able to activate their destiny with their junior later."

"impossible!"

Eriri immediately denied it.

Is there no way to activate the Destiny Earring?

That kind of thing can't possibly happen.

I went first!

I was first in all of them!

The first time I met the idiot Seino, the first time we teamed up to clear the beginner dungeon, and we even kissed... our destinies must have been intertwined!

Even so, Eriri still felt a little worried.

Although I was very confident, I still couldn't be completely at ease before activating it.

"Have you tried it?"

Eriri quickly extended her right hand:

"Take off your earrings quickly, let me try them on."

"Don't rush." ​​Kasumigaoka Utaha gently stroked her earlobe, her voice languid. "We haven't even tried the effect of telepathy yet... Junior, try sensing my thoughts."

"receive."

Kiyono Makoto nodded, trying to sense his senior's thoughts, but found them vague, like looking at something through glass, unable to see clearly.

Just then, the senior's mouth didn't move, but her lazy and pleasant voice suddenly rang in his mind:

"Junior, what's the most memorable memory we have together?"

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto was taken aback, and the image of using water magic to heal his senior subconsciously flashed through his mind.

In the bathroom of her new home, the usually aloof and arrogant senior student was teary-eyed, her face flushed, until she burst into tears...

That's enough!

Kasumigaoka Utaha's embarrassed and annoyed voice echoed in his heart.

"Junior's head is really full of color garbage, he's really terrible."

Hey, you asked about my most vivid memory. It's normal that the water magic in the bathroom helped you heal in the bathroom was the most memorable thing!

Kiyono Makoto opened his eyes and saw his senior's pretty face flushed, her eyes filled with embarrassment and annoyance. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Wait, can you see what I'm thinking, senior?"

"Everyone says it's telepathy, so it's normal to be able to see things, right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lip and quickly removed her earring.

"call……"

She exhaled softly, turned her pretty face away, and said calmly:

“Telepathy is quite special. Both parties must open their hearts at the same time to communicate with each other. Moreover, it’s not just about voice; you can even see what the other person is thinking… that’s how it is.”

After saying that, the senior quickly handed the earring to Eriri, while changing the subject:

"Sawamura-kun, don't cry later."

"I won't!"

After her senior said that, Eriri temporarily forgot to ask what she had seen, quickly took the earring, and nervously put it on her ear.

next second.

Two destiny earrings quietly lit up.

"I sensed it."

Eriri's beautiful, deep blue eyes lit up instantly, and her voice was bright and cheerful:

"As expected, my fate is intertwined with that idiot Kiyono!"

"..."

the other side.

After realizing that the color waste in his mind was at risk of being spied on, Kiyono Makoto decisively held his breath and cleared his mind, so he did not embarrass himself again.

In the time that followed, Futaba, Kato, Shoko, and even Yukino Yukinoshita all attempted to establish a fate link with Seino Makoto.

Without exception, both sides successfully connected.

“Junior is the core that brings us all together.” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s voice was soft, her eyes unusually gentle. “That’s why each of us is connected to Junior’s fate.”

"...Are we bound by fate?"

Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms over her chest, glanced silently at Makoto Kiyono, and gently bit her lower lip.

They'd only known each other for less than a day, yet their fates were already intertwined... The strange twists and turns of life truly evoke complex emotions.

Rio Futaba takes out her notebook and begins gathering information:

Has anyone experienced any side effects?

"No."

Everyone shook their heads.

“It seems that simply wearing it normally won’t cause any side effects.” Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses and concluded, “Only activating the active effects of the equipment will cause side effects.”

Kiyono Makoto's tone was calm:

"The duration and type of side effects are unclear, so we will not activate it for now. We will wait until we clear the dungeon and return to the real world."

The girls all nodded in agreement, and no one objected.

Makoto Kiyono took off his earring and looked at the girls beside him:

"Now go dance the waltz to strengthen your ice and snow magic and be ready for battle at any time... Who wants to go first?"

Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around, closed one eye, looked at Eriri, and smiled:

"Sawamura-kun, would you like to go first?"

"What do you mean by 'let me go first'? Don't assume you're in first place."

Eriri clenched her fists, complaining as she walked up to Kiyono Makoto and tilted her pretty face up:

"Let's go to the side!"

"..."

Seino Makoto nodded and followed Eriri into the nearby forest.

After leaving the area shrouded by the campfire, the night suddenly turned dark.

Eriri quickly stopped, her face tense, and said in a hard tone:

"...Let's begin."

Makoto Kiyono naturally knew why Takumi was angry, and explained in a low voice:

"The situation was urgent, there was no other choice..."

"Stop nagging." Eriri snorted, her eyes filled with disdain. "Hurry up and dance, and don't even think about touching me again."

Makoto Kiyono's expression was innocent:

"Didn't you give the white kimono to Shoko to wear?"

Yinglili: "..."

I regret it now.

If I had known the conditions were terrible, I would never have given the white kimono to Shoko.

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now.

"Let's dance first..."

Seino Makoto held Eriri's small hand and began a waltz under the moonlight.

A moment later.
