Eriri only had to imagine it in her mind before her face flushed again, and she turned away in embarrassment.

"That position was terrible..."

Despite her awkwardness, Eriri's body behaved quite obediently, clinging tightly to Kiyono Makoto and using her mind to control the dozen or so birds floating in front of her.

With a slight thought, several plump birds immediately flapped their wings, forming a triangular shape, transforming into a three-dimensional search net, and quickly disappeared into the thick fog.

As long as these fat birds collide with something or are physically destroyed, it will be known that there is a monster ahead.

"Kiyono, a bird has hit something... There's a monster ahead."

"Oh no, all the birds have vanished in an instant! Turn around quickly!"

Makoto Kiyono, of course, wouldn't be stubborn:

"Your abilities are quite good."

"Humph~"

Eriri smugly hummed:

"Of course."

"..."

With Eriri scouting ahead, the two successfully avoided several encounters and arrived at the school gate without any major incidents.

There are no monsters outside the door.

Eriri lowered her voice and whispered something in Kiyono Makoto's ear.

“The gate is locked.” Kiyono Makoto stopped at the iron gate and said quickly, “Breaking down the gate would be too loud. For safety’s sake, it would be best to climb over the wall and get out.”

As Kiyono Makoto spoke, he bent down and put Eriri down:

Is it any better now?

"I feel a little better." Eriri frowned slightly, looking at the two-meter-high wall. "It's a bit high... I might not be able to get over it."

“Remove the possibility, I know you can’t get over it.” Kiyono Makoto walked to the wall, half-squatted down, “Step on my shoulder to get over.”

This Eriri used all her points to buy skills, and her physical abilities are at a standard level of being useless. It's really unlikely that she could climb over a two-meter-high wall on her own.

"……I see."

Eriri naturally knew the situation and didn't refuse in a haughty manner. She took a deep breath, blushed, and stepped on Kiyono Makoto's shoulder: "You're not allowed to look around!"

"What are you peeking at?"

You know perfectly well what's going on!

"So it's so dark that you can't see anything, right?"

While making sarcastic remarks, Kiyono Makoto grasped the girl's delicate and silky ankle and stood up steadily.

"Can you climb over the wall?"

"no problem."

Eriri took a deep breath, gripped the top of the wall with both hands, and slowly climbed up until she finally sat down on the wall.

In comparison, Kiyono Makoto had it much easier.

Take a few steps back, take a short run-up, and easily leap onto the wall before landing safely.

"Jump down."

Kiyono Makoto looked up at the blonde girl sitting on the wall and opened his arms:

"I know the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, I guarantee I'll catch you."

"I'm sorry, I've never heard of such a thing."

Eriri complained as she looked down. After hesitating for a moment, she still didn't dare to jump directly. She could only bite her lower lip, take a deep breath, and then leap into the air.

boom.

Kiyono Makoto opened his arms and caught Eriri steadily in a princess carry.

Oops!

This posture is absolutely terrible!

Looking at the boy's face so close to hers, Eriri's heart suddenly raced, and she quickly turned her head away.

"Quickly, put me down!"

Kiyono Makoto remained expressionless.

"Then don't try to strangle me."

"Huh?"

Eriri was startled, only then realizing that she had unknowingly wrapped her arms around Kiyono Makoto's neck.

"What? My arm is moving around on its own..."

Eriri denied it with a haughty air, then quickly let go of his hands and jumped down from Kiyono Makoto's arms.

Kiyono Makoto dusted off his shoulders, took out a map, and quickly confirmed the direction:

"The shrine is to the west... you need to go this way."

After putting away the map, Kiyono Makoto looked at Otakuri:

"Can you walk by yourself?"

"I still feel a little nauseous, but it's much better than before." Eriri crossed her arms over her chest. "I can walk without any problems."

"That's good. Let's continue and meet up with the senior student."

Having confirmed their direction, the two set off again.

Just like on campus, the streets were shrouded in a cold mist, with visibility reduced to about ten meters. It was impossible to distinguish between day and night. The town was dilapidated and desolate, deserted. On the deathly silent streets, only the footsteps and breathing of the two could be heard.

"Huh...huh..."

After walking for a short while, Eriri's breathing became a little rapid, and she couldn't help but reach out her little hand and quietly tug at the hem of Kiyono Makoto's clothes.

"It's so quiet, it feels so uncomfortable."

As Kiyono Makoto walked, he muttered, "Don't worry, things will get lively once we switch to the Otherworld."

"Don't jinx it." Eriri looked up and scolded her, "I don't want to enter any other world."

Eriri carefully approached an intersection, quickly stopped, and reached out to tug at Kiyono Makoto's sleeve:

"Wait, my sparrow has bumped into something."

"Huh?" Kiyono Makoto stopped abruptly. "Up ahead? (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

"Yes."

Eriri pursed her pink lips and whispered:

Should we take a detour?

"Take a detour?"

Kiyono Makoto looked around. The surrounding area consisted of dark alleys and eerie wheat fields, which gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.

“No, taking a detour might be more dangerous, and the cramped space is not conducive to movement.” Kiyono Makoto pondered for two seconds, then decisively took out his special weapon. “Let’s just take care of the monsters and then continue forward. Taking the main road is safer.”

"understood……"

Eriri softly agreed.

In a team, there can only be one voice at crucial moments, and Eriri naturally wouldn't cause trouble at such a critical time.

The two advanced cautiously, and soon two girls in ordinary school uniforms quietly came into view.

"...Kato?"

Looking at the bob-haired girl, Kiyono Makoto called out decisively.

"Huh?"

Kato Megumi quickly turned her head, her eyes brightening slightly:

"Kyono-kun?"

Kiyono Makoto quickly stepped forward and, seeing that Kato was clean, was relieved.

"You weren't in any danger, were you?"

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

I was worried about what Kato would do alone, but I didn't expect to run into him as soon as I left school.

"I'm fine," Kato Megumi said softly, pointing to a spot. "Thanks to Nishimiya-kun's help, I was able to find Kiyono-kun."

Kiyono Makoto turned his head and looked at the brown-haired girl behind Kato Megumi.

The girl was wearing a high school uniform, had long hair, and was cute; she was undoubtedly a Paradise player.

Noticing Kiyono Makoto's gaze, the brown-haired girl trembled slightly, like a flustered fawn in the forest, nervously looking down at her toes.

"Thank you, Nishimiya-kun."

Kiyono Makoto stepped forward to express his gratitude.

The girl's body trembled slightly, and she quickly began to use sign language:

"No, you're welcome..."

Chapter 46 The Chosen Girl Kato Megumi

"...Qingye, wait a moment."

Eriri reached out her small hand and tugged at Kiyono Makoto's sleeve, her voice serious:

"We've been in the instance for almost half an hour now. Kato is just an ordinary person, so how come he's safe and sound in a place like Silent Hill?"

"Not only were they unharmed, but they didn't even look disheveled at all; it was like they were on a picnic."

"It's really strange no matter how you look at it, isn't it?"
