The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

[Deep Water Hinako: ...Trying to run away after you've had your way with her?]

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

Slander! This is blatant slander!

I didn't pay anything from beginning to end, so how can it be considered prostitution?

Looking back now, in the final seconds before the entry was stripped away, Hinako Fukami grabbed his wrist, clearly to cast a curse.

Finally, here is the notification from the park:

[This curse has an extremely high rank. Completely removing it requires 10,000 points. The player currently does not have enough points to remove it.]

"...The case is solved."

Rio Futaba let out a soft breath:

"The prices in the park haven't collapsed, nor are they maliciously targeting Kiyono-kun. The exorbitant medical expenses are all due to Hinako Fukami's curse."

"Wait a minute." Eriri put her hands on her hips and looked over, puzzled. "If I remember correctly, that idiot Seino has purification abilities, right? Didn't he help Futaba purify the toxins from her wounds at the shrine before?"

Seino Makoto silently shook his head:

"Human beings have limits, and so does purification."

The "Purification" entry remains, and the curse of "Deepwater Hinako" has not disappeared either; the two coexist tacitly.

Clearly, the [Purify] attribute is not invincible and is insufficient to remove Deepwater Hinako's curse.

“It should be related to the curse rank,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said softly. “Just like the bewildering methods of ordinary ghosts and the call of Cthulhu, the two are naturally not comparable.”

“Hinako’s curse is of a very high rank, so Kiyono-kun is unable to purify it.”

Kato Megumi suggested softly:

"The curse sounds dangerous... If everyone pools their points, will it be enough to help Kiyono-kun get rid of the curse?"

“Not for now.” Kiyono Makoto shook his head upon hearing this. “Our total reward from this dungeon is just over 10,000 points. If we use them all to remove the curse, we won’t be able to do any enhancements.”

So let's leave it for now.

Kiyono Makoto's tone was calm:

"Simply offer pleasure daily to keep the curse in check. Save your points to enhance your attributes and buy skills. Once you have enough points, you can remove the curse."

"..."

This statement is reasonable and well-founded, and it is indeed the best solution at present.

"Speaking of which, how can that pleasure be satisfied?"

Eriri put her hands on her hips and asked curiously.

"I don't know." Kiyono Makoto shook his head. "Let's go back and experiment slowly."

"Well, I'm more curious about something else." Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, her eyes darting around, her beautiful wine-red eyes looking at him with a half-smile, "...What exactly did you do to earn that kind of nickname, junior?"

"Huh?"

"Yes."

"Trying to run away after using someone... isn't that a rather indecent nickname?"

The girls snapped out of their daze and all looked at Kiyono Makoto.

"Well, this is a long story..."

Kiyono Makoto wanted to gloss over the situation.

"Then let's get to the point." Eriri was very curious. "Anyway, the dungeon settlement hasn't started yet."

Rio Futaba spoke calmly:

"Perhaps we can glean useful information from what Kiyono-kun said."

"……All right."

Kiyono Makoto sighed helplessly, knowing he could only satisfy the girls' curiosity and thirst for knowledge:

"Deepwater Hinako may be terrifying... but her true form is a girl."

"What do you mean?"

"The meaning is simple... I used water magic on her."

The girls: "..."

After hearing Kiyono Makoto's strategy for defeating the enemy, the expressions on the faces of the three girls—senpai, Eriri, and Kato—all became subtly different.

Eriri's pretty face quickly flushed red, her eyes filled with embarrassment and annoyance. She instinctively pressed her legs together and pulled her skirt down with her right hand.

"Dirty!"

“I see…” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s ears turned slightly red, her tone teasing, “Junior, you actually took a different approach and used special methods to make Hinako Fukami unable to forget you. It’s not surprising that you were cursed.”

Kato Megumi didn't speak, but simply twirled a strand of hair behind her ear with her fingers, her gaze drifting elsewhere.

"Water magic?"

Rio Futaba tilted her head, her tone puzzled:

"I've seen Kiyono's water magic before, it shouldn't be that powerful, right?"

Kiyono Makoto explained in a low voice, "My water magic is of mutated quality. In addition to being used in battle, it can also be used to heal and soothe... It has a special effect when I cast healing water magic on girls."

What exactly are the effects?

As a research-oriented girl, Rio Futaba loves to get to the bottom of things.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes darted around, a playful smile curving her lips:

"Well, I remember Futaba once said that what you learn from books is never enough; you have to experience it yourself to truly understand. The effects of water magic can only be understood by experiencing it firsthand."

Eriri stared at her speechlessly: "...That fat woman in black stockings is so wicked!"

She got caught in the rain herself, yet she wanted to snatch someone else's umbrella. What a wicked woman!

"understood."

Rio Futaba lightly pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose with her index finger. She wasn't unaware of the teasing smile on her senior's lips, but as a research-oriented girl, she naturally had the spirit to dedicate herself to scientific research.

"Kiyono-kun, please let me experience your water magic firsthand."

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

Chapter 68: The Girls' Clearance and Settlement

"...You really want to experience water magic?"

Kiyono Makoto looked at Futaba silently.

"Experiencing it firsthand is the best way to see the effects." Rio Futaba said calmly and steadily, "Everyone will definitely be using skills in the future, so it's essential to know the effects of the skills."

Eriri slightly twitched the corner of her mouth, unable to resist muttering a complaint under her breath:

"I bet a bag of spicy strips that Futaba will definitely regret what she said today."

"Alright...we'll talk about it after we leave the park."

Having said that, Kiyono Makoto had no choice but to agree.

at the same time.

The black sphere hummed softly, projecting a curtain of light.

"Settlement has begun."

The girls all turned their heads and looked at the light screen in mid-air.

[Instance settlement complete]

[Reincarnator: Kiyono Makoto]

Various highlight moments of Qingye in the dungeon began to flash on the light screen.

There are scenes of him and Eriri solving treasure chests together in middle school, arriving at the shrine to kill evil players, being pulled into another dimension to choose a bride, and the park even specially freezes the scene of him kissing Eriri for one second.

"..."

Looking at the scene on the screen, Eriri's pretty face quickly turned red, so ashamed that she couldn't bear to face anyone.

Excessive!

unacceptable!

Even in an amusement park, you can't just arbitrarily reveal other people's privacy!

"Heh~ I see." Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, closed one eye, and tilted her head to look at Eriri. "No wonder that useless young lady kissed me without hesitation when we were evacuating. It turns out she had already been a cheater before."

"I didn't! I didn't!"

Eriri's pretty face flushed, and she subconsciously retorted:

"I couldn't move a single finger at the time, and that idiot Kiyono kissed me... And who's the one who stole the fish?!"

Stupid Seino didn't date anyone else, so it doesn't count as cheating!

The inventory continues.

The screen continued to flash as Kiyono Makoto defeated the werewolf player and Takumi lured the spider lily monster, finally settling on Fukami Hinako, who was kneeling on one knee, trembling all over.

Then, countless images coalesced and transformed into lines of text.

You have defeated fifteen Silent Hill monsters...

You have defeated two Paradise players...

You have unlocked a special CG for Hinako Deepwater...

You carried special supplies worth 3,000 points, which have been converted into universal points.
