The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

The ceremony was completed.

The contract scroll moved automatically without wind, floating into the air. Then, an invisible flame pen began to write rapidly, writing Kato Megumi's name on the scroll.

Before long, the park's announcement rang in both of their ears at the same time: Kato had finally successfully joined the team.

"All done, welcome to the team."

Kiyono Makoto put away the contract scroll and smiled at the bob-haired girl in front of him.

"...Please continue to guide me in the future."

Kato Megumi responded softly, her voice as gentle and pleasant as an evening breeze rustling through a bamboo grove.

Kiyono Makoto took a sip of tea:

"By the way, the player forum has been unlocked after becoming a formal player. Has Kato checked it out yet?"

Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips and answered softly:

"I didn't wake up until after 3 a.m. After getting up, I curiously looked at the content of the forum."

"how do you feel?"

"Hmm... I feel like the amusement park is dangerous."

Kiyono Makoto nodded approvingly: "Very good, Kato's summary is very accurate."

“Eh…” Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly, her tone indifferent, “There’s no need to praise something like this.”

“It’s absolutely necessary.” Kiyono Makoto looked directly into the girl’s eyes, his tone serious. “Many people, after becoming players, fantasize about transcending the ordinary, even becoming the new world’s kami, but forget the dangers of dungeons.”

"The park can indeed grant players extraordinary powers, but it is also extremely dangerous."

"Once a player dies, they lose everything, so safety is always the top priority."

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath and looked over seriously:

"I was too busy in the dungeon and didn't have time to talk about many things. Now I'll share some of my experience."

"it is good."

Kato Megumi sat up straight, listened attentively, and quickly learned a lot of common knowledge about players.

For example, there's the 'perfect enhancement' trap that boosts all attributes, or the trap where someone's identity is exposed in real life, resulting in other players coming to their door and threatening their family, forcing them to sign a slave contract, and so on.

"Next, let's talk about 'new player benefits'."

Kiyono Makoto took a sip of tea:

"New players have a lot of room for improvement. They can improve their attributes through training in the early stages, but the process will be quite tough and requires hard work and effort."

Kato Megumi nodded gently: "I see... No wonder Kiyono-kun goes out for a run at night."

Kiyono Makoto casually said:

"From now on, you can't just sit there anymore; you'll have to run with us."

Kato Megumi softly agreed, "...Understood."

"Oh, right."

Kiyono Makoto suddenly remembered something:

"Has that skill sealing stone been unsealed yet?"

"Ah, sorry... so much happened today, I forgot to check."

Kato Megumi clenched her right fist and gently tapped her forehead.

The afternoon sun was gentle.

The image of the bob-haired girl sitting in the sunlight, lightly tapping her head with her fist, made Kiyono Makoto's heart beat half a beat faster involuntarily.

Although Kato's presence is mostly subtle, making people subconsciously overlook her, she occasionally has an incredibly cute side.

Kato Megumi quickly took out the skill sealing stone.

"The first layer of the seal has been broken... It seems to be very difficult."

Seino Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Select the display properties, let me take a look."

"it is good."

[Item: Skill Sealing Stone]

[Category: Curiosities]

[Note: This item has several layers of seals, which can only be unlocked after completing a series of real-world tasks. After breaking the final seal, you will randomly obtain one sealed skill.]

[Current Status: The first seal is being broken. You must break the first seal before you can open the next seal.]

[First Layer of Seal: Wear a smartwatch and clear the Fuji-Q Highland Haunted House. Your heart rate must not exceed 100 beats per minute during the challenge; otherwise, you will fail and need to try again.]

[Number of attempts: Unlimited]

[Challenge Duration: Unlimited]

Fuji-Q Highland?

After reading the message, Kiyono Makoto took out his phone and started searching:

Has Kato ever been to Fuji-Q Highland?

“No,” Kato Megumi gently shook her head. “I’ve only heard of the name Paradise.”

“I haven’t been there either,” Kiyono Makoto complained. “The haunted house at Fuji-Q Highland is a world-famous horror place, and the requirement that your heart rate not exceed 100 points seems a bit unreasonable.”

Kato Megumi said calmly, "It is indeed a bit scary."

You say it's scary, but your expression is far too calm!

“If it were just about going through a haunted house, it would be easy, but with the heart rate restriction, it feels like a real hassle.” Kiyono Makoto glanced at his phone. “The haunted house closes at five o’clock, so it’s too late now… Let’s have a video conference tonight to brainstorm and ask for everyone’s opinions.”

"it is good."

"Shall we go and give it a try tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow," Kato Megumi said softly, pursing her beautiful lips. "The day after tomorrow is Saturday, which is perfect for going to the amusement park for a day. And tomorrow is Friday, so I want to go home. If I don't go back soon, my parents will worry."

“Okay.” Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly. “Then let’s go challenge the haunted house the day after tomorrow.”

Kato Megumi looked up at him:

"How is the curse on Kiyono-kun?"

Just as Kiyono Makoto was about to speak, the sound of heavy footsteps suddenly came from upstairs.

Looking over at the sound, I saw a senior student with cascading black hair walking down, her pretty face full of the languid look of someone who had just woken up.

"Good morning, senior, Kato-kun."

Kiyono Makoto stared at the past speechlessly.

"It's almost 5 p.m., it should be good evening now."

"Phew... what were you guys just talking about?"

The senior student covered her mouth with her hand and walked over.

Kato Megumi explained softly:

"I'm talking about the curse on Kiyono-kun."

Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression immediately turned serious. After sitting down, she crossed her arms and gently tapped her arms with her fingers.

"The so-called satisfaction and pleasure... are inextricably linked to water magic."

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

There's absolutely no way to refute it.

Having previously defeated Hinako Deepwater with water magic, now it's time to return the favor.

Kiyono Makoto looked expectantly at his senior:

"It's useless for me to cast water spells on myself, so..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha blushed slightly and gently kicked out with her right foot:

"I'm sorry, I refuse. Junior, please ask Kato for help instead."

So far, the senior student is unaware that Kato has already experienced water magic and is only looking to take this opportunity to escape.

"..."

Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips and sat quietly playing on her phone, neither refusing nor agreeing.

“Kato alone probably can’t do it.” Kiyono Makoto coughed twice and spoke the truth. “When I defeated Hinako Fukamizu, I used the healing water magic five times. Fewer times won’t be effective.”

"Five, five times?!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned back instinctively, a clear look of panic flashing across the girl's fair and jade-like face, followed by a rapid blush spreading across her cheeks.

One water spell was already so terrifying... and now they want to do it five more times?

It'll break, won't it?

It's bound to break!

"...Huh?"

Kato, who was quietly playing on his phone next to him, subconsciously held his breath and brought his legs together.

Five water spells... Poor Hinako Deepwater.

“That’s just my junior’s guess. Maybe one water spell will be enough.” Kasumigaoka Utaha bit her lower lip lightly, covering her chest warily. “...If it really takes five spells, then we’ll have to call everyone over. Kato and I definitely won’t be able to hold on.”

“We don’t really know how big the curse’s appetite is yet, so we plan to test it out first,” Kiyono Makoto said, explaining his idea. “The curse has a pleasure progress bar, and we can control the variables to verify it… Hmm?”

Before he could finish speaking, Kiyono Makoto suddenly raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Kyono-kun?"

Kato Megumi tilted her head and looked at her in confusion.

“The curse progress bar…” Kiyono Makoto opened the attribute panel, “It actually increased.”
