The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

But now... Yukino Yukinoshita's heart is completely unmoved.

It was just a pat on the head; compared to the embarrassment I felt earlier, it was nothing.

Since I touched such filthy things with Shoko's body, Shoko should use her body to crave a head pat... consider it an equal exchange.

"I...I'll go get the towel."

Nishimiya Shoko blushed and quickly jumped up from the sofa.

Kiyono Makoto simply put away the hair dryer and waved his hand nonchalantly:

"I'm going back to my room now."

"..."

Back in his room, Kiyono Makoto glanced down at the space under the bed.

The space under the bed was empty; there was no sign of Zhai Li, which made one feel a little lonely.

Eriri's second sealing quest has not yet been unlocked, and we don't know what the new quest will be like.

"Speaking of which, tomorrow is the day to draw superpowers again... Time stop when you make a wish."

Kiyono Makoto closed his eyes with anticipation.

Silent all night.

the next day.

After waking up precisely on time thanks to his biological clock, Kiyono Makoto sat up and focused intently on examining the ability gashapon machine in his mind.

The gashapon machine, which was originally gray, has now turned colorful again.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Without wasting any words, Kiyono Makoto simply pressed the card-drawing button with his mind.

Splash!

The gashapon machine started spinning, countless abilities flashed, and finally a golden light shot out, condensing into a golden card.

"They've withdrawn money again?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Looks like today is my lucky day..."

The golden card suddenly exploded, turning into tiny streams of light that entered Kiyono Makoto's soul.

"Hmm... Invincible?"

Upon vaguely catching sight of the words 'invincible,' Kiyono Makoto immediately felt a surge of anticipation.

[Ability Card: Bedtime is Invincible]

[Card Rating: Gold]

[Note: Once you hide under the covers, your bed will become an invincible, unassailable territory.]

[Note: This ability only applies to 'paranormal' phenomena.]

[Note: To achieve invincibility, you cannot put any part of your body outside the blanket; this is a consensus among all humankind.]

Chapter 167 Yuzuru's Disappearance

"Indeed, invincible..."

Kiyono Makoto's lips twitched slightly, his expectations quickly dashed, and he helplessly covered his forehead.

"But such invincibility has too narrow an application range."

It only works on paranormal phenomena, and you have to hide under the covers, which is clearly like a cowardly turtle passively taking a beating.

Its abilities are not weak; after all, it's a rule-based system. Even if Kayako came, she wouldn't be able to get into bed with it.

But to say it's strong... it doesn't feel that strong.

The overall evaluation can only be given to NPCs; they are neither good enough to be accepted nor worth discarding.

"Unless it's for entering a supernatural instance, I can't think of any other use for it..."

Kiyono Makoto sighed and tried to adjust his mindset.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

dong dong dong.

The knocking was quite urgent, quickly breaking the morning's tranquility.

"Who could it be so early?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly and quickly got up and got out of bed.

Such urgent knocking likely indicates an emergency.

The door opened.

A girl with long, straight black hair wearing bunny pajamas came into view.

It is glass.

"...Kiyono-kun, Yuzuru is missing!"

Nishimiya Shoko grabbed Kiyono Makoto's right hand, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force, her voice full of worry.

"Stay calm, don't panic, stay composed."

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression turning serious:

"Please explain the situation in detail first."

at the same time.

Wearing a moon-white nightgown, with her hair slightly disheveled, Yukino walked into the corridor, her arms crossed over her chest. Having just woken up, she looked unusually languid and cute, clearly having been awakened by Shoko's noise.

"Good morning."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"..." 々Chess Liu Yin? 侕迩酒倭?

Eyes facing each other.

Yukino Yukinoshita quickly turned her pretty face away, choosing to ignore it.

Clearly, although no conviction or sentencing was handed down last night, Yukino doesn't plan to speak to Kiyono Makoto anytime soon.

"call……"

Nishimiya Shoko took a deep breath, her pretty face slightly pale, her voice filled with worry:

"I had just gotten up and was about to go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash up when I suddenly saw a message pop up on my phone from my mother saying that Yuzuru had run away from home..."

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow: "Run away from home?"

“Um…” Nishimiya Shoko hesitated for two seconds and said softly, “Mom and Yuzuru had a fight last night, but the specific reason is still unclear…”

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly:

“Yuzuru is, after all, a middle school student, and he is currently in his rebellious phase. It’s normal for him to run away from home.”

“No, it’s definitely not running away from home.” Nishimiya Shoko quickly shook her head, her tone worried. “After receiving the message from my mother, I called Yuzuru immediately.”

"But I couldn't get through on the phone no matter what I did."

"Message sent but not read."

"Even if Yuzuru is angry with his mother, he will never ignore my calls."

"And I asked my mom to check Yuzuru's room. The camera is still in the room... That's Yuzuru's favorite camera. He always takes it with him when he goes out. If he ran away from home, he definitely wouldn't leave it in the room."

Nishimiya Shoko bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with panic:

"So...so I'm worried that Yuzuru might have encountered an evil player?"

Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms and spoke softly upon hearing this:

"If Shoko knows your sister well enough... then that possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of running away from home. There are many reasons why someone might not answer the phone, such as the phone being out of battery or it being broken. Although the camera is very important, there is also the possibility of forgetting it."

After pondering for two seconds, Kiyono Makoto made a decision:

“We can’t find out the truth just by discussing it. Let’s change our clothes first, and then go straight to Shoko’s house. If she’s run away from home, then we’ll find Yuzuru. If she’s an evil player… then we’ll rescue Yuzuru.”

"Uh-huh."

Nishimiya Shoko quickly nodded:

"I'll go back to my room to change right away."

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Makoto Kiyono, said nothing, and silently followed him into the room.

Kiyono Makoto closed the door behind him and changed his clothes while checking the daily news.

The golden exclamation mark on my retina quietly exploded, transforming into lines of text.

[Today's Info 1: The side effects of the soul swap will end today]

"...This can be considered good news, albeit barely."

[Today's Info 2: You had a brilliant idea and bought a large enough blanket, which came in handy.]

"A blanket big enough?"

Kiyono Makoto raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although the information was somewhat vague, the blanket was most likely related to the newly awakened superpower.

In other words... will we encounter paranormal phenomena today?

If that's the case, then we'll have to prepare in advance.
