The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri.

Unfortunately, Shoko forgot one thing.

When clothes are soaked, they tend to stick to your body, making certain silhouettes appear particularly clear...

Kiyono Makoto quietly shifted his gaze and looked towards the small bridge not far away.

Because of the recent incident of someone falling into the water, several passersby stopped to watch.

Seino Makoto calmly took off his school uniform jacket and handed it to Nishimiya Shoko:

"Put it on."

"Huh?"

Nishimiya Shoko tilted her pretty face up, looking at me with a puzzled expression, her gaze somewhat blank.

Makoto Kiyono lowered his voice:

"You've exposed yourself."

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face flushed red instantly, and she hurriedly put on her coat.

"Your clothes are soaked, Shoko-san needs to find a place to take a shower." Seino Makoto took out his phone. "Let me see if there's a hotel nearby..."

Nishimiya Shoko quickly looked up, and like in a dungeon, carefully tugged at Kiyono Makoto's sleeve:

"Go home and wash..."

"Ok?"

"My home is nearby..."

Since his home was nearby, there was no need to go to a hotel. Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly and put away his phone.

"Shoko, go home. I'm going to eat first."

Just as she turned around, Nishimiya Shoko grabbed the hem of her dress. Water droplets still dripped from the girl's hair. Mustering her courage, she whispered:

"I got Kiyono's clothes dirty... Let's wash them together when we get back."

What should we wash together?

It's just that we got our clothes dirty; there's no need to atone for it by taking a bath together!

Seeing the change in Kiyono Makoto's expression, Nishimiya Shoko finally realized the ambiguity in his words, and quickly shook her head like a rattle-drum:

"There are two bathrooms in the house, so you can take a shower separately!"

Although Kiyono Makoto hadn't fallen into the water, the wet patches on his pants were quite noticeable from being hugged by Shoko earlier, so he genuinely wanted to change his clothes and didn't refuse.

"Then Yueyi_Yiming (?qi?)V?i?Qisi Wu?Liu?I'll stop bothering you."

"call……"

Nishimiya Shoko breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Kiyono Makoto, then quickly lowered her head, covering her chest with her hands in shame.

"Kiyono-kun... come home with me..."

Kiyono Makoto stepped forward to follow:

"Shoko's reaction just now was a bit clumsy. Can't you swim?"

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded weakly.

“We might encounter ocean-related content in the future, so it’s necessary to master swimming.” Kiyono Makoto didn’t put on airs but offered a practical solution: “When I was shopping for the New Year, I won a six-month membership card for a swimming pool in a raffle at the mall, but I’ve never used it.”

"I'll give you your swimming card on Sunday and teach you some simple techniques. You'll be able to learn how to swim very quickly."

Nishimiya Shoko did not refuse, but simply agreed softly:

"Thank you, Kiyono-kun... I will learn to swim as soon as possible so as not to cause any trouble for anyone."

"It's not for others, it's for your own sake."

"..."

A moment later.

Led by Nishimiya Shoko, Kiyono Makoto arrived outside a beautiful wooden house.

"Please wait..."

Nishimiya Shoko took small steps forward and pressed the doorbell.

Before long, the door was opened, and a kind-looking old lady appeared behind it.

"Shoko's back... huh?"

The old lady paused, her gaze falling on Kiyono Makoto, her expression clearly showing surprise.

“Grandma, I’m back.” Nishimiya Shoko’s pretty face flushed, and she stammered as she explained softly, “He is Kiyono-kun… my friend. I accidentally fell into the river just now, and Kiyono-kun saved me, so I brought Kiyono-kun home to take a bath and change clothes.”

Kiyono responded politely:

"Hello, I am Makoto Kiyono. Please forgive my unannounced visit."

Because of her hearing impairment, Shoko's parents divorced when she was very young. Her mother worked hard on her own and was a typical strong woman, while her grandmother took care of her two daughters.

Chapter 75 Let go of my sister, come at me if you have a problem!

"Sorry to bother you."

Makoto Kiyono stepped into the entrance hall.

The house is clean, tidy, and cozy, with many cartoon stickers on the walls, giving it a lively atmosphere.

"Um... we don't have any slippers for boys at home..."

Nishimiya Shoko looked up at him, stammering:

"Kiyono-kun...would you like to wear my slippers?"

Kiyono Makoto lowered his head, looked at the small and delicate pink bunny slippers, and immediately fell silent.

"...Can I go barefoot?"

"Of course."

"Then I choose to go barefoot."

"..."

Pink bunny slippers, absolutely not for the faint of heart!

Having successfully completed the first task of getting started, Nishimiya Shoko secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced shyly at her smiling grandmother beside her, then blushed and whispered:

"Shall I take Kiyono to the bathroom?"

Seino Makoto shook his head:

"No need for that. I'll just go to the restroom to wash my face quickly. I have spare clothes in my backpack, so I can change into them."

The bathroom is a relatively private place. If you go in to take a shower without permission, you might see something you shouldn't. Naturally, Kiyono Makoto didn't want to cause any trouble.

Of course, there are no spare clothes in the backpack, but there are in the storage bag, so there's no problem in case of emergency.

Seeing that Kiyono Makoto was determined, Nishimiya Shoko had no choice but to agree. She covered her chest with one hand and her skirt with the other, shyly leading the way.

"I...I'll take Kiyono to the restroom..."

"please."

Upon arriving at the bathroom, Kiyono Makoto told Shoko to take a shower by herself, then closed the door and began washing up and changing clothes.

When she came out after washing up, she saw that Nishimiya Shoko hadn't left. Instead, she was standing expectantly in the corridor, like a little maid waiting to be summoned at any moment.

"Why didn't you take a shower?"

Kiyono Makoto casually asked:

"It must be very uncomfortable to be all wet."

“It’s alright.” Nishimiya Shoko quickly shook her head and held up her phone. “Kiyono-san might need some help, so I waited outside for a while.”

You always think of others first. You're so gentle and timid, no wonder you get bullied!

"I'm fine now." Kiyono Makoto waved his hand. "Go take a shower quickly."

"Mmm." Nishimiya Shoko nodded quickly, then blushed and looked over, quietly mustering her courage, "I... I'll make Kiyono-san a cup of tea first?"

"...I am indeed a little thirsty."

Kiyono Makoto did not refuse, but nodded in agreement.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, he had already roughly figured out Shoko's personality: introverted, gentle, sensitive, and insecure.

Girls with this personality type are very prone to getting caught up in inner conflict and internal struggles.

A casual remark from someone can often keep her tossing and turning all night.

Making tea is a small matter, but Nishimiya Shoko may have been pondering it for a long time outside the door, which is why she stuttered and blushed when she spoke.

If she refuses, Shoko will likely have trouble sleeping at night.

We entered the living room.

With a flushed face, Nishimiya Shoko brewed a cup of oolong tea and brought over the washed fruit. Her grandmother stood by with a smile, saying nothing. After finishing everything, Shoko finally went to the bathroom.

"...It tastes good."

Kiyono Makoto sat on the sofa, drinking tea and playing on his phone.

"It's already 6:30 without me even realizing it. I have to go for a run and work out later, looks like I won't have time for barbecue..."

Kiyono Makoto let out a sigh of relief, planning to say goodbye and leave as soon as Shoko finished taking a shower.

Time slipped away quietly, second by second.

Before the glass even came out, the doorbell rang first.

"I'm back. (Coldly)"

A rather neutral, indifferent voice came from the entrance hall.
