The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

"And also, I know about you pinching my cheeks, tickling me, and even touching me all over!"

Makoto Kiyono's expression was innocent:

"You can't tell the real from the fake with your eyes, so you have to use your hands... Since you were conscious the whole time, why did you bite me?"

Upon hearing this, Eriri puffed out her pink cheeks, her little tiger teeth gleaming coldly:

"That was my first kiss! Biting you was already very gentle!"

When Eriri's body is being controlled, she is actually extremely panicked.

He couldn't speak, but in his heart he kept praying, "Kiyono, save me."

Now that he has been successfully rescued, he is naturally very grateful to Makoto Kiyono, but one thing is one thing. His first kiss, which he only has once in his life, was taken away like this, so it is normal for him to be angry and bite someone.

If it had been someone else, Eriri wouldn't have just bitten them; she would have kicked them.

boom.

As they were talking, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Junior...?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's worried voice came from outside.

Upon hearing her senior's voice, Eriri tensed up abruptly, quickly reaching out her right hand to pinch Kiyono Makoto's waist, her pretty face flushed as she gave him a fierce warning:

"Don't tell anyone about what happened just now!"

To pass the test, you're so embarrassed that someone easily stole your first kiss. You absolutely mustn't let anyone else know about this shameful thing!

Kiyono Makoto raised his hand: "What if I accidentally let something slip..."

Eriri said menacingly, "Then I'll sentence you to death!"

"..."

"Senior, we're alright."

After whispering, Kiyono Makoto quickly walked towards the door, raising his voice:

"At the last moment, I finally found the real Eriri."

The girls quickly stepped forward and surrounded Kiyono Makoto and Eriri. Only after confirming that neither of them was injured did they relax.

"Hey, what happened to Kiyono-kun's lip?"

Kato Megumi has a keen eye for observation and quickly noticed a faint trace of blood on Kiyono Makoto's lips.

"stare--"

Eriri's breath hitched, and she quickly glared at him fiercely, her eyes warning him:

"If you dare tell anyone, you're dead!"

Kiyono Makoto wiped his lips: "I was too nervous just now, and I accidentally bit my lip while I was thinking."

"I see... I'm glad Kiyono-kun is alright."

Kato Megumi spoke calmly, and it was unclear whether she believed him or not. She took a half step back and quietly retreated behind the young women.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Rio Futaba lowered her head and apologized, her tone full of self-reproach. "I didn't know the back hall would be in such danger."

Kiyono Makoto remained remarkably calm, gently reassuring her:

"It has nothing to do with Futaba. Before the blind box was opened, nobody knew what would be inside."

"Tsk~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly clicked her tongue softly, her gaze shifting between Kiyono Makoto and Eriri:

"Speaking of which, the clothes worn by junior and Sawamura are quite interesting."

Kiyono Makoto looked down and realized that although the game was over, his clothes had not changed back; he was still dressed as a groom in a shrine-style wedding.

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, her tone seemingly tinged with a subtle bitterness:

"You said you were going to gather resources, but you ended up secretly having a wedding instead, didn't you?"

"Ugh, who's getting married to this guy?"

Looking at her white wedding kimono, Eriri blushed and quickly denied it, embarrassed.

"I'm going to change out of this awful outfit right away... Huh?"

"and many more."

Eriri suddenly opened her eyes wide:

"This white kimono... seems to be a special item?"

Kiyono Makoto was taken aback upon hearing this. He raised his hand to touch his groom's attire, and sure enough, a notification popped up in front of him.

【Item: Monzuki Hakama】

Category: Armor

[Passive: Valor. All damage you deal will be increased by an additional 10%]

[Active: Bond of Fate. This effect can only be activated when both players are wearing the limited-edition outfits. You can activate Bond of Fate before the damage arrives. During this time, the damage received will not be immediately settled, but will be temporarily buffered. You can be exempted from the damage by completing the Fate Ritual. There are 5/5 exemptions available today. Please note that the number of exemptions is shared by both players.]

"nice one."

Kiyono Makoto's eyes lit up.

The groom's all-black attire represents the traditional samurai spirit, making it reasonable for him to have the 'bravery' passive skill. Unfortunately, this outfit has a synergy effect with Eriri's white kimono, so the attribute is not suitable for drawing.

"The passive ability of damage immunity is more useful, but I don't know what this so-called 'ritual of fate' is..."

Kiyono Makoto turned to look at the blonde girl with twin tails and asked curiously:

"Eriri, what is the attribute of your white kimono?"

"Humph~"

Eriri gave a soft hum and chose to display the clothing's attributes.

Now that everyone has officially formed a team, we can't keep things to ourselves anymore. Special secrets are fine, but ordinary information must be shared.

【Item: Shiromuku】

Category: Armor

Passive: Flawless. All damage you take will be reduced by an additional 10%.

[Passive: Bond of Fate. When both parties are wearing the limited-time outfit, damage taken during this period will not be immediately resolved, but will be temporarily buffered. Once the Fate Ritual is completed, the damage can be negated. 5/5 negations are available today.]

"A very practical piece of armor." Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses and gave a rational assessment. "Whether it increases damage or reduces damage, it is very practical. The Fate Bond that can only be activated by two people might be able to rewrite the situation at a critical moment... But what exactly is the Fate Ritual? We still need to conduct detailed experiments to find out."

"Well, I'm more concerned about something else." Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and tapped her arm lightly with her fingers. "Since it's equipment, could we wear white kimonos?"

"what?"

Eriri clutched her chest upon hearing this, instinctively adopting a cat-like posture of guarding its food.

This is a prop that I worked hard to obtain. I don't care about others, but I don't want this fat woman in black stockings to play with it!

"There shouldn't be any problem." Rio Futaba said calmly. "Equipment is not a skill, it has a lot of versatility... In reality, many men secretly wear women's clothes, so rationally speaking, Kiyono-san could probably wear a white kimono."

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

The girls: "..."

Chapter 56 The Curse Returns Like a Chick

"It would be fun to see my junior wearing a white kimono..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curled up slightly, revealing a delightful, eager smile; she was clearly about to play a trick on someone.

"Stop."

Kiyono Makoto remained expressionless.

Don't even think about that kind of thing.

A scholar can be killed but not humiliated.

I'd rather go naked than wear that kind of thing!

"The clothes we're wearing are props, not designated evacuation supplies, so there should be other special items." Kiyono Makoto looked around. "Let's look for them."

The hall was no longer filled with white lanterns; the lighting inside was quite dim, practically pitch black.

Kiyono Makoto decisively took out his flashlight, and as the beam swept across the ground, he quickly spotted a small, black object on the ground not far away.

"...It's my drone."

Rio Futaba's eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward to pick up the drone that had fallen to the ground.

"Junior, there seems to be something over there."

Kasumigaoka Utaha squinted and pointed to the corner.

Kiyono Makoto shone his flashlight and saw that an altar had silently appeared between the two giant fox stone sculptures.

Upon closer inspection, one can see five wooden trays on the altar, but at this moment, only one tray contains something: a folding fan with a talisman attached.

Kiyono Makoto reached out and picked up the folding fan, and a prompt immediately appeared before his eyes:

You have obtained the key item, the Sacrificial Fan, which can be exchanged for 2,000 Paradise Points.

"Wow, this fan is actually incredibly valuable?"

Eriri's eyes lit up:

"You can leave immediately by grabbing the fan."

"It's a pity we can't separate them, otherwise we could have evacuated two people."

Kiyono Makoto shook his head regretfully.

hum...

A cold, ruthless voice suddenly rang in the minds of all the players.

The final seal has been broken by the players.
