The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

The points you painstakingly earned quickly dwindle in value, a bittersweet experience.

It's worth mentioning that everyone only improved their basic attributes and didn't have any additional purchasing power. After all, with Kiyono Makoto around, pooling their money to buy consumable skill scrolls was the most cost-effective way to spend money.

After a flurry of activity, it was already past ten in the morning.

"Let's all have lunch together. Since Yukino is here, let's make it our first team meal together."

Makoto Kiyono took out his phone and opened the notes app:

"Tell me what you want to eat now, or I'll decide."

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her right hand, her voice languid and utterly unceremonious:

"Junior, I want to eat Mapo Tofu."

"I've written it down."

"And cola chicken wings too."

"receive."

Seino Makoto noted down the dish and looked at the others:

And you?

Futaba turned her face away: "I'm fine with anything."

For a science-oriented girl who eats instant noodles all day long, the word "picky eater" doesn't exist in her dictionary.

Eriri crossed her arms over her chest, her voice clear and crisp:

"I want tomato spaghetti."

Kato Megumi said calmly, "Um... I'd like to eat fried horse mackerel."

Makoto Kiyono nodded and looked at Shoko and Yukino:

And you?

"I...I can do anything..."

Their eyes met, and Shoko's pretty face flushed slightly. She quickly looked down at her toes.

Yukino Yukinoshita's expression remained calm:

"It's up to Kiyono-san to decide."

To be honest, Yukino Yukinoshita would prefer to eat out alone, but since it was the first time the group was having a meal together, she couldn't just leave.

After finishing the memo, Seino Makoto put away his phone and looked at Shoko and Yukino:

"Shall we go to the supermarket together to buy groceries, and you guys can pick up some daily necessities while you're at it?"

"it is good."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly and stood up.

Although the towels and slippers were clean, I still felt a little uneasy about using boys' toiletries.

Kato Megumi's expression remained calm:

"The floor is a bit dirty, so I'll stay and clean it. I'll leave the task of buying groceries to Kiyono-kun."

Rio Futaba then turned and walked towards the stairs:

"I'm going upstairs to forge equipment."

"Take care, junior." Kasumigaoka Utaha waved, her tone languid. "I only ate a bowl of instant noodles this morning, and I'm too tired now. I'll wait for you to come back."

"..."

Kiyono Makoto waved his hand, put on his shoes, and went out with Yukino and Shoko.

A dozen minutes later.

The three arrived at a large shopping mall.

"Shoko, and Yukino, you two go buy toiletries." Kiyono Makoto pulled over a shopping cart. "I'll go buy groceries."

"that……"

Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face flushed slightly as she looked up at him, her voice gentle:

"We need to pick out the ingredients... Shall I help?"

"I'll go buy something first."

Yukino Yukinoshita spoke calmly, then looked up at Makoto Kiyono.

Kiyono Makoto quickly understood:

"I keep my promises and will not act recklessly."

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita then withdrew her gaze and turned to leave alone.

"let's go."

Kiyono Makoto looked at Shoko, his voice softening:

“I’ll push the cart, and Shoko will be in charge of selecting the ingredients.”

"Uh-huh."

Nishimiya Shoko's eyes sparkled, and her steps quickened subtly.

"The tofu is very fresh..."

Just as Nishimiya Shoko was carefully selecting ingredients, she suddenly felt a fragrant breeze wafting from the side, followed by a finger gently poking her face:

"Oh dear, look who I've run into!"

"Eh?"

Nishimiya Shoko quickly turned her head and found that the person approaching was a completely unfamiliar older sister. Her sensitive personality 4 was immediately activated, and she was startled. She instinctively hugged Kiyono Makoto's arm.

"Huh?"

The woman with short black hair tilted her head slightly, and the smile on her face froze.

"who is it?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow and looked over. What came into view was a girl with black hair and light red eyes. Her hair was short, which looked clean and neat. She had a pretty and cute face, excellent bone structure, and a bust size similar to her senior. The smile on her face was perfect and impeccable.

At first glance, she is clearly a perfect woman with a dignified and beautiful appearance.

Most importantly, the other person has facial features that are six-tenths similar to Yukino Yukinoshita.

Coupled with the other party's intimate behavior just now, Kiyono Makoto quickly made a guess in his mind.

"... Yukinoshita Yono?"

A bad feeling welled up inside me.

To run into Haruno while shopping at a mall? Tokyo must be so small!

"Excuse me, may I ask who you are...?"

With Kiyono Makoto by her side, Nishimiya Shoko quickly relaxed and looked curiously at the black-haired older sister.

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

It would have been fine if he hadn't spoken, but once he opened his mouth, it exploded!

Yukino could not possibly not recognize her older sister; once she said that, there was no way to fool anyone.

"...Oh, I'm so sorry."

Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent for a few seconds, then quickly clasped her hands together, revealing an impeccable smile on her pretty face, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze:

"I mistook someone for someone else. I thought she was my friend's sister."

You lie so easily, why don't you blink!

There were no questions asked.

There was no doubt.

It was as if it really was just an accident, and the whole incident was glossed over lightly... Yukinoshita Haruno's mental fortitude is indeed excellent.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you both, goodbye~"

Yukino's expression control was impeccable. Her gaze swept over Yukino's face, her smile remained sweet, and she turned to leave.

However, Kiyono Makoto's intuition was very sharp, and he clearly sensed the wariness and hostility in Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes the moment she turned around.

Letting the other person leave like this feels like it will cause a huge misunderstanding.

Kiyono Makoto sighed helplessly. No matter what, he couldn't let Yukinoshita Haruno leave like this.

"...Please wait a moment."

"Huh?"

Yukino's eyes sparkled as she turned to look at them, her hands behind her back, head slightly tilted, her smile impeccably sweet.

"Handsome young man, what can I do for you? Although you are very handsome, we can't exchange contact information. I don't go on dates with young boys."

Using jokes to hide one's true feelings, if it were an ordinary guy, he would probably be blushing and at a loss for words in the face of Haruno's teasing.

Seino Makoto calmly took out his phone:

"Give me five minutes, I'll make a call and get someone over here."

Yukinoshita blinked and leaned forward slightly:

"Boys these days are really good at flirting, but my time is very precious."

"It wasn't a flirting attempt."

Kiyono Makoto shook his head and lowered his voice:

"...You don't want Yukino to be in danger, do you?"

Yukinoshita Yono: "..."

Yang Nai's smile finally vanished. She quietly took two steps and stood directly under the camera.
