The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Kiyono Makoto's tone held a subtle danger: "If there's a next time, I'll punish you properly."

To correct Glass's bad habits, a clear system of rewards and punishments is essential.

One cannot be gentle all the time, nor can one always be tough; one must carefully strike the right balance.

"Punishment?"

Nishimiya Shoko blinked blankly.

Is Kiyono going to punish herself?

What will the punishment be?

For some reason, Nishimiya Shoko suddenly remembered the short four-panel comic strip she had seen while bored on the train.

The comic's content is very simple.

A mischievous girl who always likes to play pranks is finally spanked by the male protagonist who can no longer tolerate her...

Nishimiya Shoko subconsciously brought herself and Kiyono into the situation. The girl's fair and jade-like face quickly flushed red, and she hurriedly looked down at her toes, frantically covering herself with her hands behind her back.

That kind of thing... is unacceptable!

Even Kiyono wouldn't just sit idly by!

Why are you suddenly blushing?

Kiyono Makoto sounded puzzled.

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko didn't speak, but just shook her head rapidly.

"Okay, let's go swimming now."

Kiyono Makoto didn't interfere much. Lacking mind-reading abilities, he couldn't fathom girls' thoughts at all. "I'll train until 4:30, then go to the mall to buy a swimsuit."

"..."

After changing into their swimsuits, the two returned to the shallow end. Unlike before, there were many elementary school students in the shallow end today, chattering and making it quite lively.

Makoto Kiyono and Shoko Nishimiya did a simple warm-up exercise before taking turns in the water.

"Let's do one lap first, and try to learn to swim today."

Kiyono Makoto reached out his right hand and ruffled Nishimiya Shoko's little head, giving Shoko a training buff.

"I...I'll do my best..."

The habit has quietly formed. Now, when her head is patted, Nishimiya Shoko no longer tenses up and holds her breath. Instead, she tilts her head slightly and subconsciously cooperates.

The training begins.

The two first practiced walking in the water to find their balance. Then, under the guidance of Makoto Kiyono, they helped Shoko swing her legs, with occasional buffs. The results were remarkable; Shoko successfully unlocked her swimming skills and could now splash around in the water on her own.

"Excellent, swimming has been successfully unlocked. Now it's time to slowly practice."

Kiyono Makoto said approvingly, "I'll go buy two bottles of electrolyte drinks. You can rest for a while."

"Uh-huh."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded obediently, her eyes sparkling, and followed Kiyono Makoto's retreating figure until it disappeared from sight before finally turning her gaze away.

Turning around, he was startled to see a young girl in a school swimsuit staring at him curiously.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

Nishimiya Shoko asked softly, her tone exceptionally gentle.

After days of continuous training, Shoko's speech is no longer so strange, only a little bit awkward.

"Sister, I want to be patted on the head!"

The little girl tilted her head back, her voice clear and childlike, clearly indicating a naturally outgoing personality.

This elementary school student has long brown hair in pigtails, and a pair of bright blue eyes similar to those of Zhai Li. Her baby fat hasn't faded yet, making her look quite adorable.

"Huh?"

Nishimiya Shoko paused slightly, then reached out her right hand and gently pressed it on the little girl's head.

"Mmm~ So comfortable."

The elementary school student squinted, enjoying the pat on the head from the glass, while making innocent, childlike remarks:

"Was that older brother/brother just now... my sister's boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend?"

Nishimiya Shoko's eyes widened instantly, her pretty face flushing red at a visible speed, and soon even her neck was tinged with crimson.

"You, you've misunderstood!"

Nishimiya Shoko shook her head in embarrassment and hurriedly explained:

"He's not my boyfriend!"

"But Mom said that girls shouldn't let boys touch their heads."

The elementary school student's voice was childish: "My sister just let Onii-chan pat her head, and she looked so happy. She must be more than just a friend, right?"

Nishimiya Glass: "..."

A person can deceive others, but they cannot deceive themselves.

She was genuinely happy when Kiyono patted her head.

The elementary school student put his hands on his hips and said:

"Mom always says that happiness is something you have to fight for. Go for it, sister! Take the initiative and start dating your older brother soon!"

Nishimiya Glass: "..."

Interact, associate?

That definitely won't work!

Although she quickly shook her head, deep in Shoko's heart, a seed quietly sprouted.

A month ago, she certainly wouldn't have had any inappropriate thoughts, because the whole world seemed gray, her existence would only be a burden to her family, and she even had suicidal thoughts.

But now... her hearing has returned to normal, she won't be a burden to her mother, sister, and grandmother anymore, and she's ready to date boys?

Upon thinking of this, Nishimiya Shoko's heart suddenly raced, pounding wildly.

"Hmph, my sister's face is super red."

The little girl opened her eyes wide and looked over, her voice clear and crisp, "You're really looking forward to it, aren't you?"

Nishimiya Glass: "..."

At most, there's only a tiny bit of expectation, not much at all!

At that moment, Kiyono Makoto walked over with a drink:

"I'm back."

"..."

Upon hearing Kiyono Makoto's voice, Nishimiya Shoko recoiled as if electrocuted, her pretty face flushed as she looked down at her toes, unable to resist the urge to transform into an ostrich and bury herself in the sand.

Looking at his neck, which had turned into crimson glass, Kiyono Makoto was somewhat puzzled:

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I, I'm fine..."

Nishimiya Shoko stammered and quickly shook her head, not daring to look up at Nozomi Makoto.

"Hmm~"

The elementary school student's eyes darted around, a smug smile spreading across his face.

"Onii-chan, I know, I know!"

"..."

Hearing the little girl's cry, Shoko trembled and quickly looked over pleadingly.

"No, don't say it!"

This elementary school student was quite sensible, hands on hips, looking up at Kiyono Makoto:

"That's a secret between my sister and me... Onii-chan, pat on the head!"

"Um?"

Kiyono Makoto looked down at the little bean sprout at his feet.

"I want my head patted!"

The little girl wasn't shy at all, and her voice was soft and sweet: "I saw it just now! When Onii-chan patted my head, my sister's expression was so comfortable! I want to experience how comfortable it is when Onii-chan pats my head!"

"..."

Looking at the overly friendly little kid, Kiyono Makoto slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, stretched out his right hand, and placed it on the top of the elementary school student's head.

"Mmm...it really feels good."

The elementary school student's eyes quickly curved into crescent moons.

Hey, don't say weird lines, or the police will arrest you!

After gently patting the other's head a couple of times, Kiyono Makoto was about to stop when he suddenly felt a surge of power flowing into his body from the void.

"Um?"

Kiyono Makoto was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood.

Has the [Loli King] ability been activated?

Upon closer inspection, the basic attributes had actually increased by forty percent.

"This little kid's favorability rating is a whopping forty points! Could it be that I really have the potential to become a kindergarten war god?"

Kiyono Makoto's expression was strange.

Of course, there is another possibility.

That means it's easy to raise the initial favorability level, but it becomes very difficult to raise it further later.

A voice called out from not far away; a woman was waving, and the little girl quickly waved goodbye.

"Goodbye, Onii-chan."

After running a few steps, the little girl turned her head again, put her hands to her mouth, and shouted loudly:

"Go, sister!"

"..."

Seeing the little girl's actions, Nishimiya Shoko, who had just calmed down, felt her face heat up again, and she shyly looked down at her toes.

"What is she saying, 'Keep going'?"

Kiyono Makoto looked at Shoko curiously, asking what was going on.

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face burned, and she kept shaking her head, unwilling to say a single word more.

The secret to staying strong... I can't tell you!

I just can't bring myself to say it!

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."

Kiyono Makoto naturally wouldn't insist. "Let's have some drinks first, then go for a swim, and then we'll head out to buy swimsuits."

Chapter 96: Patching and Replenishing Mana.

"call......"

Nishimiya Shoko secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but soon couldn't help but feel internally conflicted.

('If you don't want to talk about it, then don't...' Is Kiyono-kun angry?)
