The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Could it be that my junior is a hidden master?

While Kasumigaoka Utaha was lost in thought, Kiyono Makoto opened the Paradise Shop and began spending money rapidly.

Once you officially enter the instance, you will no longer be able to access the Paradise Shop, so you must use up all your points before entering the instance and be fully prepared.

Food, fresh water, bandages, weapons...

In addition to that, there is another very important thing, which is the trump card.

The remaining points are not enough to buy the ability.

In fact, Seiya Kiyono did not intend to purchase the ability.

Unlike weapons and other external items, abilities in the park are generally very expensive. After strengthening attributes, there are not many points left. Ordinary abilities are not worth considering, and good abilities are unaffordable.

But aside from ability, there is something else that is tempting.

That's a one-time consumable item; because it's a consumable, its power is actually quite enormous...

"You are the one."

Kiyono Makoto decisively spent 1,000 points to purchase a one-time trump card.

The countdown ended just as the points were cleared.

[The instance is now open, teleporting...]

Chapter 14 Senior, Be My Daughter!

As the park's announcement sounded, a feeling of dizziness crept in.

After a slight daze, Kiyono Makoto found himself at the foot of a snow-capped mountain. Before him stretched an endless expanse of white snow, the sky was a peculiar arc, and white mist surrounded the entire mountain.

"This time he didn't faint... So the first time is always special, isn't it?"

Kiyono Makoto made a sarcastic remark while glancing at the girl beside him.

As expected, Kasumigaoka-senpai entered the dungeon together and became a teammate.

Look around.

The area was deserted, and there were no other players in sight. It was highly likely that there were only the two of them in this instance.

"Ugh~ It's so cold."

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Kasumigaoka Utaha shivered slightly, instinctively hugging her arms, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"Is this...a snow-capped mountain?"

In the real world, it was mid-April, and the weather was starting to warm up. Kasumigaoka Utaha went out for a night run, wearing a light and breathable sweatshirt. Unfortunately, the dungeon environment was a snowy mountain, and with the cold wind blowing, the senior naturally shivered.

In contrast, Kiyono Makoto had it much easier.

He was wearing ordinary spring clothes, but after the extra training he had just received, his physical fitness had reached twice that of an average person, and he could easily withstand the current cold.

As they spoke, Paradise's cold voice suddenly echoed in their minds:

[Current Dungeon: Frozen]

[Dungeon Type: Battle/Exploration]

[Dungeon Difficulty: Normal]

Main Mission: Play a cat-and-mouse game and survive until sunrise tomorrow.

[Mission Details: The hunter and the prey will be determined by a fair lottery.]

[By drawing a hunter's card, you will gain hunter status and temporarily unlock special hunter skills.]

[If you draw the prey lot, you will play the role of the hunted prey, escaping the hunter's pursuit. The prey player has no special ability bonuses, but can turn the tables and kill the hunter.]

[Please note: In PvP mode, only one player can leave the instance at a time.]

If the game ends in a draw before sunrise, both players are simultaneously declared the losers.

[Failure Penalty: Erasure]

"..."

After reading the mission details, Kiyono Makoto was speechless.

Battle dungeons?

Cat and mouse game?

I was hoping to team up with my senior to clear the game, but it turns out only one of us can survive!

"how so……"

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her beautiful eyes wide, her breath caught in her throat, and her delicate and lovely face quickly lost all color, turning deathly pale.

It's a cat-and-mouse game, and only one person can clear the dungeon... So, my junior and I aren't teammates, but enemies?

Thinking of the dangerous aura she had just sensed from Kiyono Makoto, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a wave of despair wash over her.

My junior is a veteran; I have no chance of winning at all, right?

hum.

With a soft sound, two identical cards floated down from mid-air and hovered in front of Kiyono Makoto and Kasumigaoka.

A cold, indifferent voice quietly rose from the amusement park:

Please draw your identity card.

"call……"

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath and turned to look at Kasumigaoka Utaha, whose pretty face was pale and who seemed about to collapse.

"Senior, don't be nervous."

Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly took two steps back, biting her lower lip tightly, and looked over with wary eyes.

Don't be nervous?

I'm about to go to the battlefield, how could I not be nervous!

Kiyono Makoto's tone was sincere:

"I have a special item that might allow us to clear the game together instead of fighting."

Kasumigaoka Utaha remained completely on guard: "Does my junior think I'm some twin-tailed idiot who can be fooled with just a few words?"

"You called me a loser this afternoon, and now you're calling me an idiot. Eriri's going to explode."

While complaining, Kiyono Makoto opened his spatial backpack and took out a parchment scroll engraved with a skull.

"Senior, open your eyes wide and look carefully."

Makoto Kiyono chooses to display the item's attributes.

next second.

A transparent light curtain appeared out of thin air.

"What is that...?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked over warily, then quickly widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief.

"Wait, it's actually an S-rank item?"

After lurking on the forum for a week, Kasumigaoka Utaha has already mastered a lot of common knowledge about amusement parks.

One common knowledge is that only sufficiently powerful players in the amusement park can possess ultra-high-quality items, much like luxury cars in the real world, which are not only a symbol of status but also a symbol of strength.

[Item: Captain's Contract]

[Quality: S-grade]

[Note: To enter the new era, you must have a ship and crew to carry your dreams. You can recruit crew members, open a team public channel and public storage space. The recruitment limit is ten people.]

For each crew member recruited, you will receive a 10% bonus to that crew member's maximum attributes. At the final settlement after clearing the dungeon, you will also receive an additional 10% of that crew member's final earnings.

This revenue is paid by the platform and will not deduct from teammates' earnings.

[Crew Buff: When team members fight side by side, all of their attributes will receive an additional boost.]

[Fleet Common Skills: Not yet unlocked]

[Note: To sign a crew contract, a certain ritual must be performed—you need to say 'Be my daughter,' and the crew member must respond to 'Dad,' for the contract to be officially concluded.]

"Have you finished reading it, senior?"

Kiyono Makoto's gaze was steady as he looked straight at Kasumigaoka:

"When regular players enter a dungeon, the quest content may conflict, but if they are members of the same team, they should not fight each other."

"So, as long as we become official teammates, we might be able to change our fate."

Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath, her eyes filled with complex emotions:

"But the mission has already been issued... Would becoming teammates really be useful?"

"We'll only know if it works by trying," Kiyono Makoto said bluntly. "Does Senpai have any other options right now?"

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha fell silent.

That's right.

There are no other options left.

Without signing a contract, he would have no chance of winning against his junior, who was a senior, no matter which identity card he drew, the outcome would still be the same.

"……I see."

Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated for a few seconds, then quickly agreed.

In the face of life and death, shame is utterly insignificant.

"Junior, let's begin the contract."

"it is good."

Kiyono Makoto coughed twice, extended his right hand toward Kasumigaoka Utaha, and uttered the line:

"...Be my daughter!"

shame.

It was really embarrassing.

Making someone else act like a daughter is just asking for trouble; she'll probably dig her toes through the floor.

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, a faint blush rising on her pale face. She parted her cherry lips slightly and tried to respond in a nonchalant tone:

"...Adosan."

And then... nothing happened.

The captain's scroll floated quietly in Kiyono Makoto's palm, without making a sound.

The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a brief silence, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly opened her beautiful eyes, biting her lip in embarrassment and annoyance:

"Junior... were you lying to me just now?!"

"No, I didn't," Kiyono Makoto hurriedly denied, then a sudden thought flashed through his mind, "Wait, I've got it."

"Could it be because I didn't call out the senior's name just now?"

"Senior, let's try again."

Kasumigaoka Utaha furrowed her brows slightly, her eyes filled with vigilance:

"Has the junior never had any teammates before?"

"No." Kiyono Makoto naturally told the truth, "I just got this item from a dungeon treasure chest yesterday."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha remained silent for two seconds, her wine-red eyes narrowing slightly:

"I'll trust you one last time."
