The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

"No oxygen?"

Kiyono Makoto instantly understood the reason, and his heart tightened. He quickly reached out and hugged the saintly classmate.

I'm sorry.

Kiyono Makoto decisively lowered his head and kissed her directly, leaving Kato Megumi some space.

"Well......"

Kato Megumi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, like a traveler on the verge of dying of thirst in the desert. She subconsciously stretched out her arms and hugged Kiyono Makoto's neck, her movements clumsy and awkward as she desperately sought air.

Not long after.

Kiyono Makoto quickly released the soft, delicate lips of the saintly student, and then decisively moved them downwards.

One breath can't sustain you for long; only by addressing the root cause can you escape danger.

"Did your swimsuit get caught?"

Kiyono Makoto quickly found the problem and tried to pull it apart, but the swimsuit was surprisingly well-made and he couldn't tear it apart even after two attempts.

"Wait... that tie seems to be able to be untied?"

Without hesitation, Kiyono Makoto quickly reached out his right hand, grabbed the strap, and yanked it sharply.

This time there were no problems; the laces were successfully untied.

"As long as it works."

Kiyono Makoto breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the sullen-looking Saint in his arms, and swam quickly towards the surface of the sea.

Splash!

Water splashed.

The figures of the two emerged from the sea.

"Cough cough..."

Upon being exposed to fresh air, Kato Megumi immediately coughed, wrapped her arms tightly around Kiyono Makoto's neck, buried her pretty face in Kiyono's chest, and refused to let go.

"It's all over now."

Kiyono Makoto extended his right hand and gently patted the girl's alabaster-like back.

"Thank you, Kiyono-kun..."

Kato Megumi's voice trembled with fear, and her eyes were slightly red.

"......You are welcome."

Kiyono Makoto sounded slightly guilty, as if he had a feeling that the sudden undercurrent he had just experienced was related to him, and that it was very likely that the "Lucky Pervert" tag had been triggered again.

So, I really don't want such a dangerous yet lucky pervert!

"You idiot Seino, are you alright?"

Eriri's worried shouts came from above the cliff.

"Why did it take you so long to get up here?"

There was a small mishap, but everything is fine now.

Kiyono Makoto looked up and shouted back, "The marbles have been found, let's go back right away!"

Hearing the response, the girls all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, let's get ashore first."

Kiyono Makoto pushed up his diving goggles, grabbed Masato with one arm, and quickly swam towards the sea.

They swam safely to the shore without triggering the "Lucky Pervert" tactic again.

"Kato, you go up first."

Kiyono Makoto gently lifted Saint onto the shore with both hands, then his gaze suddenly froze.

I was so relieved to have survived that I forgot he took off my swim trunks...

"Huh...?!"

Girls are always particularly sensitive to boys' gazes. Kato Megumi's gaze quickly shifted downwards, and her usually calm and composed face flushed red for the first time. She hurriedly covered her body with her hands.

"...I didn't see anything."

Kiyono Makoto coughed lightly twice, feeling his blood rush to his head, and quickly looked away.

"..."

Kato Megumi's pretty face flushed, her cheeks puffed out slightly, and she rarely used a commanding tone:

"Kiyono-kun, turn around!"

I'm so sorry.

Kiyono Makoto obediently turned around and swam away into the distance.

"I'll go and retrieve the fishing net."

The challenge has been completed, but the fishing nets cannot be abandoned, otherwise they will surely become marine debris.

You are responsible for cleaning up the trash you create.

"...Qingye-kun, please be safe."

Behind me came the gentle admonition from my sage classmate.

Don't worry.

Kiyono Makoto instinctively wanted to turn around.

"...Don't turn around!"

The sage raised his voice slightly.

Yes, yes.

Kiyono Makoto forcibly stopped turning around and quickly swam towards the direction where the fishing nets were being set up, the scene from just now replaying in his mind.

It's a pity Xiaohui's hair isn't pink, otherwise she could have said that famous line...

A moment later.

"Done."

Seino Makoto, clutching a large fishing net and a tattered swimsuit, surfaced from the sea and turned to swim towards the shore.

Back on shore, Kato Megumi was already dressed in a shirt and skirt, but she still covered her skirt with her hands, clearly not having forgotten the humiliating ordeal she had just endured.

"...We just found this swimsuit on the seabed, but the edges are a bit torn."

Kiyono Makoto climbed onto the rocky platform and handed over the girl's swimsuit, without any intention of keeping it for himself.

"Thank you, Kiyono-kun. I won't wear it for now."

Kato Megumi thanked her softly, took the swimsuit, and then handed her a white towel.

"...Wipe your body with a towel."

As she spoke, Kato Megumi's gaze shifted downwards, lingering for a moment on Kiyono Makoto's well-defined muscles before she casually looked away, seemingly unconcerned. Only upon closer inspection could one notice a faint blush creeping up the girl's ears.

"Thank you, Lord Kato."

Kiyono Makoto took the towel without hesitation. It felt slightly damp, and when he wiped the seawater off his face with it, he could smell a faint, pleasant fragrance.

"Is this the towel Kato just used to dry himself?"

Kiyono Makoto's feelings suddenly became complicated.

"Kiyono-kun, don't overthink it."

Kato Megumi's voice drifted over as if she could read minds, "We just used two towels. The one you're holding was only used to wipe your face and hair; the other towel was used to wipe your body."

Kiyono Makoto turned his head and looked over, his face full of righteousness:

"Give me the other towel too."

"Huh?"

Kiyono Makoto said in a serious tone:

"If I dry my hair and then dry my body, won't I get the towel dirty?"

"......It doesn't matter."

Kato Megumi slightly turned her pretty face away, her tone indifferent:

"Anyway, I'll have to wash myself when I get back... and I can't accept using the same towel to dry my body right now."

I can't accept it now... but will I be able to accept it later?

"All right."

Kiyono Makoto didn't insist and quickly dried himself off with a towel.

"Let's go back to the top of the cliff."

Kiyono Makoto squatted down again.

Kato Megumi's gaze shifted, finally settling on the faint scratches on Kiyono's back. A slight blush rose to her pretty face; these were marks she had made in her nervousness.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Kiyono-kun."

"..."

A moment later.

Kiyono Makoto carried his classmate, Sage, up the steep slope with ease.

"Thank goodness, you've finally made it up."

What just happened in the sea?

"Why did it take you so long to swim to the surface?"

"..."

The girls gathered around, concerned.

Seiichi Kiyono responded to each point, and then said:

"I need to go down there again and bring up the fishing net."

"..."

Watching Kiyono Makoto nimbly climb down the steep slope, Kato Megumi gently pursed her pink lips, her gaze lowered, a slight tingling sensation still lingering on them, her fingers lightly twirling a strand of hair behind her ear.

A moment later.

Kiyono Makoto returned safely, carrying the fishing net.

"It's already 11 o'clock, shall we all go back to the hotel for a lunch break?"

Rio Futaba helped fold the fishing net, then calmly offered her advice.

"Let's go back and have dinner."

Kiyono Makoto readily agreed, put on a shirt and shorts, hopped on his electric scooter, and sped off with the girls.

Half an hour later.

The group returned to the hot spring inn.

After a short rest, everyone went out together to find a nearby restaurant to eat.

Once we sat down at the restaurant, we discovered that the island's specialty was actually shiitake mushrooms: shiitake mushroom meat patties, shiitake mushroom pasta, shiitake mushroom burgers, shiitake mushroom potatoes, and even shiitake mushroom pizza and shiitake mushroom ice cream... After looking at the menu, it was like stumbling upon a mushroom burrow.

Besides that, there are all kinds of seafood sashimi.

To be fair, the shiitake mushrooms tasted pretty good, at least better than the buffet on the cruise ship.

"I'm full... Junior, how about we go swimming at the beach this afternoon?"

After eating and drinking her fill, Kasumigaoka Utaha stretched and lazily tilted her head to look over.

Kiyono Makoto nodded upon hearing this: "The next mission will unlock in 24 hours, so we can have a good day of fun."

Since we're already here, it would be a shame not to go to the beach. So, apart from Futaba who seemed a little hesitant, the other girls all agreed.
