She blinked and looked over.

"Thank you for preparing lunch. We'll go out for dinner tonight," Kiyono Makoto waved. "We'll also buy some supplies along the way, and then we can take a walk in the evening."

"Uh-huh."

Nishimiya Shoko's eyes lit up, and she quickly agreed.

A walk just for myself and Kiyono... I can't wait to see it.

After changing their clothes and shoes, the two had just stepped outside when they saw a slender girl carrying shopping bags walking back.

It was Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Yukino-san?"

Kiyono Makoto was slightly surprised:

"I thought you weren't coming home tonight."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at her, her tone calm, and explained softly:

"My sister is studying at a university in Chiba. She came to Tokyo with her friends today... She has things to do when she gets back tonight, so she's already at the station."

As she spoke, a hint of helplessness flashed in Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes.

Under Yang Nai's persistent nagging, she was forced to reveal a lot of information.

Although her older sister was asked to keep quiet and not tell their mother, how long the secret could be kept was still unknown.

If Mom finds out... the consequences will be unimaginable.

The Yukinoshita family is an old family in Chiba Prefecture. The father married into the family, and the mother is the true head of the Yukinoshita family... The current mother has only one life motto, which is to continue and expand the family.

According to Yang Nai, the top-tier powerful families were basically aware of the existence of the amusement park and were trying every means to establish a relationship with the "players".

It's worth noting that many of the items in the park can be used by ordinary people, such as the longevity potion that drives people crazy.

If Mom finds out about Kiyono's identity and abilities... she'll definitely turn my sister and me into tools, right?

Kiyono Makoto casually said:

"Shoko and I are going out for dinner and to buy some supplies. Yukino, would you like to come with us?"

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated slightly before agreeing.

On the way back, she had already bought everything she needed, so she didn't need to make another trip, but she didn't want to stay alone in the boy's house.

A moment later.

The three of them went out together.

On the way to the train station, Yukino Yukinoshita raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly:

"Kiyono-kun, I heard some news from my older sister and I'm going to tell everyone."

Kiyono Makoto looked over curiously:

"You said."

"The park hasn't been around for very long... The earliest recorded player only appeared a year ago."

Makoto Kiyono raised an eyebrow in surprise:

"How to say?"

Nishimiya Shoko tilted her head in curiosity, waiting for what was to come.

Yukino Yukinoshita said softly:

"A year ago, the first player-murder case occurred in Kyoto. The perpetrator was a high school student who was frequently bullied at school. In the end, he burned the bully to death in public with flames..."

Nishimiya Shoko opened her eyes wide and whispered:

"Um, I haven't seen any news about it."

“Because it’s blocked.” Yukinoshita Yukiko (L9L @) Qiliu Guiyi Shan Y Ba Lu Nai crossed her arms and said calmly, “In this information age, ordinary people always think they can see the whole picture of the world, but little do they know that what they see is just the news that the powerful and wealthy want them to see.”

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto retorted:

"I suddenly remembered a saying: Ignorance is also a kind of happiness."

"That's just a placebo for people who bury their heads in the sand."

For Yukino Yukinoshita, who is absolutely right, ignorance is a kind of happiness, which makes me feel uncomfortable.

"Ordinary people don't know about the existence of Paradise, but Paradise won't disappear because of that. Players use their abilities to do evil, and ordinary people don't even have the chance to know, let alone resist... I absolutely don't want that kind of happiness."

Nishimiya Shoko blinked, looking at her own confident and sharp-eyed self, and couldn't help but whisper:

"Yukino-kun... is so cool."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Kiyono Makoto silently looked at Shoko, his tone low and melancholic:

"Never praised me."

"I'm so sorry!"

Nishimiya Shoko blushed and quickly looked down at her toes.

The atmosphere gradually eased.

Seino Makoto interlaced his fingers:

"With a sharp weapon in one's heart, the desire to kill arises naturally. When a person suddenly gains supernatural power, only a few can restrain themselves and endure it. That's why Yukino said that Paradise may have just arrived a year ago... This is quite good news for us."

"Humans are terrifying."

"Capital is equally terrifying."

"When the two are combined, the most terrifying existence in the world will be born."

"If the park has existed for decades or even centuries, I'm worried that it will be quietly invaded by capital. Perhaps we new players will be burdened with all sorts of life loans right after we clear the beginner's dungeon."

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita slightly moved the corners of her mouth. Although she really wanted to retort, she found that she couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it.

"Let's move on to the second piece of news."

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a soft breath and looked up at him:

"The official team has formed a secret unit specifically to recruit players. It's said that the benefits are quite generous. My sister suggested that we consider it."

"That's definitely something we can consider."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly, showing no resistance.

As the saying goes, it's good to have a big tree to lean on. Everyone hates the privileged class, but everyone wants to be part of the privileged class.

"The official team can't help in the dungeon, but they can definitely help solve any problems that are difficult to solve in real life as soon as possible."

Kiyono Makoto analyzed seriously:

"However, rights and obligations often go hand in hand; if you enjoy a right, you are likely to have an obligation that you cannot shirk."

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita parted her pink lips, but didn't mention Haruno's desire to collaborate privately. She spoke softly:

"There's one last thing... People have been mysteriously disappearing in Tokyo lately."

"Ok?"

"It's like disappearing into thin air, like suddenly vanishing on the way to work or school, and even if the authorities search, there's no news at all, as if the person just disappeared into thin air..." Yukino Yukinoshita said with a serious expression, "It's most likely the work of some evil players."

Players' abilities can be used in the real world, and some can even become stronger in the real world... For example, if a player obtains a ghoul bloodline, they will definitely be unable to resist eating people in the real world.

"Evil player..."

Kiyono Makoto recalled the werewolf on that rainy night:

"Hopefully, the authorities can apprehend the perpetrator as soon as possible and protect ordinary citizens."

Those who are not in a position should not concern themselves with its affairs.

Protecting world peace is the mission of Superman and Batman.

Makoto Kiyono has never considered himself a superhero, so he naturally doesn't feel anything when he hears about people mysteriously disappearing one after another.

The three arrived at the tram stop, took the tram, and headed to the shopping center.

We prepared the supplies, had a buffet barbecue for dinner, and then went home together.

"I'm going upstairs to take a shower."

Kiyono Makoto greeted them and went upstairs first.

After taking a shower, Kiyono Makoto went back to his room and played on his phone for a while, when he suddenly remembered something.

"Wait... the ice magic scroll should have healed by now."

He took out an ice magic scroll from his spatial backpack, and sure enough, the cracks on the surface had completely healed.

"Go downstairs and go find Yukinoshita."

Kiyono Makoto quickly made a decision and got up to leave the room.

Although the side effects of soul swapping have not yet been eliminated, cultivation skills should be linked to the soul, not the body.

"As for the specifics of the situation, once you try it, you'll know."

Kiyono Makoto stepped downstairs and soon saw a flaxen-haired girl in pajamas drying her hair in the bathroom. It was Yukino Yukinoshita.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom; clearly, Shoko was taking a shower.

"...Kiyono-kun?"

Seeing Kiyono Makoto stride over, Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively turned her body to the side, quietly covering her chest with her right hand.

Now that it's Shoko's body, covering her chest is indeed necessary.

Although not as exaggerated as her senior and Futaba, Shoko's development is actually quite good.

"This is a Three-Death Chessboard, a scroll of ice magic..."
