The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

Click.

The sound of a door opening came from the hallway.

"Don't speak."

Kiyono Makoto quickly reminded him.

Steam billowed from Eriri's head. Feeling both embarrassed and angry, she suddenly opened her mouth and bit Kiyono Makoto's shoulder.

"Hi~"

Kiyono Makoto took a deep breath.

I was bitten by Yukinoshita this morning, and now I've been bitten in the same spot again. Just how much do you guys enjoy biting other people's shoulders?

You were the one who snuggled into someone else's arms, and now you're biting them. You're so unpredictable!

and many more.

Eriri may be a tsundere young lady with a quirky personality, but she's not so capricious as to suddenly lunge at you and bite you...

"The feel...is wrong..."

Kiyono Makoto finally realized belatedly that his right hand had accidentally touched the girl's forbidden area.

"..."

Footsteps echoed down the stairs, one after the other. Kiyono Makoto silently put down the blonde girl in his arms, raised his hands, and sincerely apologized.

"I'm so sorry..."

"Xinei!"

"Please give me a chance to redeem myself... please give me a chance to chat with you in the group..."

"death penalty!"

"I will take responsibility..."

"No way!"

Eriri tilted her pretty face up, her eyes misty with embarrassment, her neck turning pink with shame:

"If you dare utter another word, I'll bite you to death!"

Makoto Kiyono silently raised his hands:

"Nothing happened just now, I'll go out now."

"..."

She had just turned around when Eriri grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"There's a mouse in the clothes basket!"

Eriri's voice was tense.

Although I was so ashamed that I wanted to kick Kiyono Makoto away, the rat was indeed more frightening.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto stopped in his tracks, turned on the light, and looked into the bamboo basket in the corner. Inside, besides the girl's underwear, there was only a fluffy cat doll; there was no sign of a mouse.

"The so-called rat... it must be a toy, right?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly.

Yinglili: "..."

So, she was startled by the doll, threw herself into its arms, and was then chased away by that idiot... Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Why didn't you look at it carefully?

"It might be because the light was too dim, and your fingers were a bit damp, causing the tactile sensation to be distorted."

Kiyono Makoto began to explain in a very serious manner.

Besides, there is another possibility.

That means the term "lucky pervert" is back in action...

"You idiot, Seino! Get out of here right now!"

After confirming there were no rats, Eriri immediately snapped back to reality, gritting her teeth in shame and glaring at them menacingly:

"I've changed my clothes."

To think I actually ran into you... It's incredibly merciful that I didn't physically destroy you!

"I'll leave right away."

Kiyono Makoto decisively slipped out of the bathroom and returned to his room.

"call……"

Eriri breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up a towel to wipe her body.

"Idiot... idiot idiot idiot idiot!!!"

"..."

A moment later.

Eriri, dressed neatly, quietly slipped into the room.

"came back?"

Kiyono Makoto put away his phone, looked up at the blonde girl who had slipped in, and asked softly:

Do you want me to blow-dry your hair?

"Humph~"

Eriri quickly turned her face away. She wanted to say she didn't need it, but it would take a long time for her hair to dry naturally, and she would be crawling under the bed later anyway.

"I don't need your help... Bring me the hairdryer, I'll dry it myself."

"Wait a moment." (The rest of the text appears to be a fragment and doesn't form a coherent sentence or paragraph.)

Kiyono Makoto quickly brought over the hair dryer.

"Are you sure you don't need my help? Your arm will get sore from holding the hairdryer up for so long."

"Idiot." Eriri glanced at her disdainfully. "I've already added points to my stamina attribute. I'm not that weak now, okay?"

As she took the hairdryer and was about to dry her hair, the girl's phone suddenly vibrated.

"Hey, it's a message from Mom... Is something important?"

Eriri tilted her head and glanced at it, then quickly handed the hairdryer to Seino Makoto next to her, while holding the phone with both hands.

Makoto Kiyono turned on the hairdryer, and warm air whirred out. With his other hand, he ran his fingers through Eriri's damp blonde hair and began to dry it.

"……snort."

Eriri's face flushed slightly, she let out a barely perceptible hum, and then looked at her phone.

Kiyono Makoto said softly:

Is there anything urgent?

"No...it was just casual conversation."

"That's good."

Seino Makoto quieted down and began to carefully blow-dry her hair.

A warm breeze blew, and the room was soon filled with the fresh scent of shampoo.

Eriri felt the warm breeze baking her hair and neck, and her whole body was enveloped in a comforting warmth. Her body involuntarily went limp, and she only realized that she was leaning against Kiyono Makoto's chest after the chat ended.

"……what?"

Eriri blushed and quickly sat up straight:

"They actually took advantage of someone's vulnerability again and sentenced them to death!"

Kiyono Makoto was speechless: "It was clearly you..."

"No way!"

Eriri's gaze darted around, and she quickly changed the subject:

What was that footstep sound in the hallway just now?

"It's Shoko and Yukinoshita-san..."

Kiyono Makoto naturally didn't hide anything and simply explained the situation.

"What...?" Eriri frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping into her heart. "It's one thing for Shoko to be so timid, but Yukinoshita-san isn't going to come and ambush you at night, is she?"

She was going to hide under the bed soon, and if someone came to raid her at night, she would truly become an 'incompetent wife'.

"You're overthinking it." Kiyono Makoto shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh. "Apart from Eriri-sama, no one else would even look at me."

"Ha, I wasn't interested in you either, okay?"

Eriri blushed and instinctively denied it with a haughty air:

Give me the hairdryer, I'll dry it myself.

"Don't move, it'll be ready in a minute."

"..."

After finishing drying Eriri's hair, Seino Makoto asked about the important matter:

"When should I hide under the bed?"

"The mission requires us to be between 9:30 pm and 6:00 am the next morning. There's still plenty of time."

Eriri pursed her pink lips, feeling a little dry, but her proud and aloof personality prevented her from openly asking for water. She could only cross her arms over her chest.

"Hey... is your room a desert?"

"what happened?"

Kiyono Makoto looked over in confusion.
