The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

"You are not allowed to tell anyone a single word about what just happened."

"clear."

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto felt relieved and was still willing to speak, proving that he had not been blacklisted.

"I thought Yukino-san would make me commit seppuku as an apology."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed, then quickly turned her pretty face away, her tone so cold it could freeze someone:

“Legally, accidents are exempt from prosecution. Although I really want Kiyono to commit seppuku, you did not do it on purpose, so you are innocent.”

Kiyono Makoto silently gave a thumbs up:

"Judge Yukino, please continue to uphold justice."

Only a girl like Yukino Yukinoshita, who insists on being absolutely right, would let it go so easily, right?

If it were Eriri, she would definitely have lashed out with her twin tails.

Of course, this intolerant personality has both advantages and disadvantages.

If it hadn't been an accident, or if Kiyono Makoto had made a clear mistake, he would probably be questioning his existence by now, subjected to extremely sarcastic and biting remarks.

Yukino Yukinoshita tensed her jawline and turned her head to look elsewhere.

"...Leave quickly."

“I suggest we wait a bit,” Kiyono Makoto coughed twice and suggested. “Your face is too red right now. If you go out and bump into Shoko… it will be hard to explain.”

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent for two seconds. Even without touching her face with her fingers, she knew that the temperature on her face must be frighteningly high. So she silently turned around and walked away into the distance.

After walking more than ten meters in one breath, Yukino Yukinoshita finally stopped. Noticing that Makoto Kiyono's gaze had been fixed on her, she quickly crossed her arms and said sarcastically:

"Please don't look at me with those malicious eyes, it makes me feel like my chastity is in danger."

You're using Shoko's body now. If there's any danger, it's Shoko's chastity that's in danger!

Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lip, recalling the accidental contact earlier, and looked at him with the same gaze one would use on kitchen waste:

"Boys really are inferior creatures driven by instinct, lacking even the most basic self-control."

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

That's something that can't be refuted.

Although I can't say it outright, I was almost instantly refined just now...

After uttering those two sarcastic remarks, perhaps having released some of her pent-up shame and indignation, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly turned her pretty face away, unwilling to speak any further.

Time slipped away quietly, second by second.

Under the cold wind, the blush on Yukino's face quickly faded, and she soon returned to her normal fair complexion... at least on the surface, there was no flaw to be seen.

"out."

Yukino Yukinoshita walked up to Makoto Kiyono and extended her right hand expressionlessly.

"Yes."

Kiyono Makoto gently grasped the girl's fingertips.

The space was slightly distorted.

The two figures suddenly disappeared.

"Hey...you guys went to the snow globe?"

Just as they returned to the living room, a gentle and pleasant voice rang out behind them.

Kiyono Makoto turned his head and saw a girl with long, straight black hair drying her hair with a towel. She was wearing pajamas and her wet eyes were looking at him curiously.

It was Nishimiya Shoko.

"They went to experiment with the snow globe's abilities..."

Kiyono Makoto calmly explained the reason.

"So that's how it is."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded slightly, clearly without the slightest doubt.

Yukino Yukinoshita's complexion had returned to normal, and judging from her appearance alone, there was indeed no flaw.

"You guys chat..." Yukino Yukinoshita silently turned around, "I'm going to take a shower."

"Huh?"

Nishimiya Shoko tilted her head and looked over, her tone slightly puzzled:

"Um...didn't Yukino already take a shower?"

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita paused slightly, and remained silent for two seconds in response to the question.

For Yukino, who adheres to absolute truth, lying would violate her life's principles.

But if we tell the truth... we simply can't bring ourselves to say it, right?

As mentioned before, humans cannot fight against their body's instincts.

When you fall, you will instinctively grab onto something nearby.

When being healed by water magic, the body also has an uncontrollable instinct... In short, you must take another bath.

"I sweated a little while I was practicing just now."

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her pretty face away, her voice much softer than usual, not wanting Shoko to see her guilty expression:

So I want to take a bath.

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

In a snowy landscape where the temperature is several degrees below zero, do you still sweat?

Your exercise was clearly just shooting an arrow... so it can't be as simple as just sweating, right?

Kiyono Makoto remained silent.

If the lie is exposed at this moment, Yukino, who is filled with shame and indignation, will definitely kill me, right?

"You really need to take a good shower, otherwise you might catch a cold." Nishimiya Shoko blinked, her voice gentle and pleasant. "Um... shall I get Yukino's pajamas for her?"

"No need, I'll take it myself."

Yukino Yukino hurried into the bathroom as if fleeing.

"Yukino seems a little flustered..."

Nishimiya Shoko muttered to herself, her gaze involuntarily glancing at Kiyono Makoto. After all, she was a sensitive and delicate girl, not so easily fooled.

Kiyono Makoto coughed lightly, quickly interrupting the girl's thoughts:

"Shoko, shall I blow-dry your hair?"

"Huh?"

Nishimiya Shoko blushed and quickly shook her head in refusal:

"No, no need, I can blow it myself..."

Kiyono Makoto said in a serious tone:

"I haven't blow-dried Shoko's hair yet, and I really want to help."

"..."

Faced with Kiyono Makoto's direct attack, Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face quickly turned red, and she shyly looked down at her toes.

Now that I'm in Yukino's body, I can finally easily see the full view of her legs.

Kiyono Makoto feigned disappointment:

"If you dislike Shoko, then forget it..."

"...I don't hate Kiyono-kun!"

Nishimiya Shoko quickly looked up and stammered, hastily denying it:

"Then I'll have to trouble Kiyono-san to help me..."

"Leave it to me."

Kiyono Makoto snapped his fingers and went to get the hair dryer.

Yukino's hair is waist-length, and it has to be said that styling it is quite difficult, taking both time and effort.

It took quite a while for my hair to finally dry completely.

"nailed it."

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath and patted the girl's head with satisfaction.

"Well……"

Nishimiya Shoko's eyes subtly curved into crescent moons, and she unconsciously rubbed her head gently against Kiyono Makoto's palm.

My grandmother is old and in poor health; she can't reach the top of her head.

My mother works incredibly hard, leaving early and returning late every day. After I graduated from elementary school, I never touched her head again.

Nishimiya Shoko's ear tips subtly flushed red, her fingers quietly pinching the hem of her nightgown:

"As expected... I really like having my head patted by Kiyono-kun..."

Click.

The bathroom door was suddenly opened.

Kiyono Makoto and Shoko instinctively looked over and saw Yukino Yukinoshita standing behind the door, peeking out with half of her pretty face.

Upon seeing Kiyono Makoto touching 'her' head, Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze paused only slightly before she spoke in a cool tone:

"...There are no clean towels left."

In the past, seeing oneself being 'played with and patted on the head' would inevitably have bothered one's conscience.
