The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

You should be concerned about whether you can survive the dungeon!

The park's cold, indifferent voice continued to ring out, regardless of Eriri's will.

[All players, please prepare yourselves.]

You will be teleported into the instance in three minutes.

"...What happened to the promised good luck?"

Kiyono Makoto took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Being drawn back into a real-life scenario is pointless to escape or complain; the only thing to do is to respond proactively.

Kiyono Makoto looked at the pale-faced blonde girl with twin ponytails beside him, and was about to speak when his phone started vibrating first.

Upon taking it out, I was surprised to see that it was a call from Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Junior, I suddenly heard a notification from Paradise in my mind, saying that someone has triggered a real-world instance..."

As soon as the call connected, Kasumigaoka Utaha's tense voice rang out.

Seino Makoto responded in a low voice:

"I received it too."

Utaha Kasumigaoka secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this:

"Three minutes left, where are you, junior?"

Makoto Kiyono: "Next to Kadokawa Bookstore on the third floor of the mall."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Wait for me, I'm coming right away."

"..."

Just as Kiyono Makoto was about to put his phone away, he suddenly noticed a message pop up on the screen:

"Kiyono-kun, a strange voice suddenly echoed in my mind, telling me to get ready... Could it be related to that monster?"

Makoto Kiyono had previously instructed Megumi Kato that if she encountered anything strange, she should not hesitate to tell him immediately.

Kato Megumi clearly took it to heart, as she sent a message immediately.

"A notification from the park?"

Kiyono Makoto's gaze suddenly sharpened.

There are two ways to become a player.

The first option is to be directly selected, pass the beginner's trial, and unlock the qualification of a formal player.

The second option is to be drawn into a real-world instance; if you survive, you can also gain player status.

Neither method is inherently better or worse; for ordinary people, both are simply disastrous.

Makoto Kiyono simply sent a message:

"I'll explain later. Is your senior with you?"

Megumi Kato: "Kasumigaoka-senpai just went out."

Makoto Kiyono: "Quickly catch up with the senior and come over with her."

"..."

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath, put away his phone, and looked at the blonde girl with twin ponytails in front of him:

"Eri, Senpai and Kato are on their way."

"Huh?"

"They have all received notifications from the park."

"Wait a minute." Eriri tilted her head up, her azure eyes filled with doubt and confusion. "Kasumigaoka Utaha is one thing, but Kato-kun isn't a player, is he?"

Kiyono Makoto whispered:

“Some players have posted on the forum before that ordinary people can occasionally be drawn into real-world instances.”

Eriri: "...Kato-kun is just too unlucky."

"Think about yourself first."

Kiyono Makoto simply said:

"Time is running out, shall we team up?"

"that……"

"Three minutes left... Well, now there are only two minutes left. Eriri, you decide."

"..."

Eriri gently bit her lower lip, her expression conflicted.

To be fair, she definitely wanted to team up with Kiyono Makoto.

But the way they form teams is just awful!

Calling a boy by that kind of name... that's something you only see in humiliation manga!

"I've already seen my senior."

Kiyono Makoto spoke up to remind him.

Eriri's twin tails trembled slightly, and she quickly turned her head to look. She soon saw a girl with long, straight black hair riding up the escalator, and she clenched her fists.

No!

We can't keep running away!

That fat woman in black stockings is coming over soon. If I call him "Dad" in front of him... I'll be laughed at for the rest of my life, right?

I'm sure I will!

I absolutely refuse to do that!

"I...I understand..."

Eriri took a deep breath, finally making up her mind. A blush quickly rose on her fair, jade-like face, even the tips of her ears turned crimson, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

"I'll agree to team up!"

Kiyono Makoto quickly took out the captain's contract, then extended his right hand to perform the contract ritual:

"Eri, be my daughter!"

"..."

Eriri turned her head away, barely suppressing the urge to punch someone, her pretty face flushed, her voice trembling slightly:

"...Adosan."

As Eriri uttered that name, the ceremony was quietly completed.

next second.

The contract scroll moved automatically without wind, floating into the air. An invisible flaming pen danced in the air, writing Eriri's name on the scroll.

hum~

The park's cold, ruthless voice echoed in Kiyono Makoto's mind:

Congratulations, you have recruited your second full-time crew member.

As the captain, you receive an additional 10% bonus to the maximum attribute of this crew member.

Kiyono Makoto opened the character panel and quickly discovered that his mental attribute had been additionally boosted.

"Okay, Eriri, like Senpai, has the strongest attribute in spirit."

Kiyono Makoto glanced at it briefly and didn't take it to heart.

In order to save money to buy skills, Eriri has not strengthened her attributes. She has only been running and exercising for a few days, and her attributes have not improved at all. This little bit of bonus is negligible.

"I received a team formation notification."

Eriri's eyes lit up, and a sense of security quickly returned.

Having cleared the game together, Eriri felt exceptionally at ease as long as she was by Kiyono Makoto's side, even if she didn't want to admit it.

"You said before that you would lend me points to buy skills after we successfully formed a team." Eriri looked up expectantly, her eyes sparkling, her blush still fresh. "Keep your word, hurry up and lend me the points."

Kiyono Makoto nodded and lent Eriri the points he had previously reserved:

"Pay me back double when the time comes."

"Huh? You're a vampire?!"

"A capitalist's daughter has no right to judge others."

"I'm not a capitalist!"

"..."

After the points were credited to her account, Eriri quickly opened the Paradise Shop and found the skill she had long desired:

"【Ma Liang and His Magic Paintbrush】...You're the one!"

Purchase confirmed!

As they were talking, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi quickly arrived.

"Junior, sir~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and glanced at Eriri, who was beaming with excitement, and quickly understood:

"Tsk~ It seems that this so-called 'unyielding young lady' is just a master of empty talk."

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Eriri decisively denied it three times in a row. As long as she wasn't caught red-handed, she could pretend it never happened. "Without evidence, don't slander me! Besides, you did shout it!"

“I admit I shouted it.” Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, her eyes filled with disdain. “Unlike someone else, who even deceives herself. How pathetic.”

"Ahhh, Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

"..."
