The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

The science-oriented girl breathed slightly out of breath, her voice a little dazed, and answered instinctively:

"It feels...so good..."

The girl's voice was incredibly soft, with a slight tremor, completely different from her usual calm and composed tone.

The stark contrast made his heart race, and Kiyono Makoto coughed twice:

"How's your strength?"

"Yes, it could be a little bigger..."

"clear."

"Ugh...too, too hard..."

"You're the one who told me to be stronger."

"It's too big...it will hurt..."

"..."

Stop talking! If someone's eavesdropping next door, they'll definitely misunderstand!

"It's almost time."

After a moment, Kiyoshi and Makoto silently released each other's hands, preparing to take their leave.

I'm going back to my room.

"Wait a moment......"

Suddenly, a small hand reached out and grabbed Kiyono Makoto's sleeve tightly.

"What's wrong?"

Kiyono Makoto lowered his head in curiosity.

Rio Futaba's face flushed crimson. After hesitating for two seconds, she finally followed her heart, unconsciously averting her gaze and shyly uttering a few words:

"I...I want more..."

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

What inappropriate and offensive language are you spouting?

People might misunderstand if they hear that!

You avoid water magic like the plague, but why are you so obsessed with a regular neck and shoulder massage?

"My shoulders feel so good..."

Rio Futaba unconsciously looked away, her face flushed, and whispered, "But it feels like it's just a little bit more, and then the concrete on my shoulder can be completely removed..."

It's like playing a game where you've reached 99 points on the progress bar, and then suddenly it stops—it'd be incredibly frustrating, right?

Rio Futaba originally intended to silently endure it as usual, but for some reason, her right hand unconsciously reached out.

She has always been reluctant to cause trouble for others.

But if it's Kiyono... it's okay for her to rely on him a little, right?

"Okay, let's continue."

Faced with a shy science girl making a request, Makoto Kiyono naturally couldn't refuse.

"call......"

Rio Futaba breathed a sigh of relief, blushing as she whispered her thanks:

"I'm sorry to have troubled Kiyono."

"It was just a small favor."

Kiyono Makoto turned around and walked behind Futaba, continuing his shoulder and neck massage:

"Massage and acupressure only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. You may feel comfortable today, but after running around all day tomorrow, you'll definitely feel uncomfortable again."

"..."

Rio Futaba bit her lower lip and remained silent.

Of course she knew this.

But the breasts are already there; there's no way to fundamentally address the problem, right?

A gentle voice from behind sounded:

"I can't cure the root cause, but massaging the shoulders and neck is easy for me. Shall we continue the massage for Futaba tomorrow?"

"Huh?"

Rio Futaba subconsciously turned her small face away.

I want to refuse.

I don't want to cause trouble for others.

But when the words reached my lips, for some reason, they changed:

"Massaging every day...it must be very tiring."

Kiyono Makoto said matter-of-factly:

"Therefore, we should help each other."

"...How so?"

"The Hina curse is still on me; I have to fulfill my daily needs, and all I can do is bother others."

Kiyono Makoto suggested, "From now on, I'll massage Futaba's shoulders and neck, and Futaba will help me fulfill the curse, just like meal buddies. How about we form a fixed mutual-aid duo?"

Rio Futaba pursed her pink lips, lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a soft shadow on her small face.

"......good."

The girl's voice was soft, but clear enough in the room.

"Then it's settled."

Makoto Kiyono continued massaging the shoulders and neck:

"We'll officially start helping each other from tomorrow."

"..."

A moment later.

The progress bar finally reached 100%, and Rio Futaba let out a long sigh of relief.

"Yes, that's fine."

Kiyono Makoto nodded, didn't linger, and turned to leave.

"I'm going back."

Rio Futaba got up and saw Kiyono to the door, tilting her rosy-cheeked face up:

"Kiyono, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

"..."

Bang.

The door closed gently.

Rio Futaba quickly walked to the bedside and plopped down on it with a thud.

"My shoulders feel so good..."

The science-oriented girl buried her face in the pillow, feeling her cheeks burning, but her mind began to think seriously:

"How should I help them gain happiness points tomorrow?"

"..."

Nothing more was said that night.

the next day.

After waking up in the morning, Makoto Kiyono and the girls had a free breakfast at the hot spring inn. After a brief discussion, they decided to explore Hachijojima Island.

Since we're already here, of course we should take a look around.

"I heard you can see whales on Hachijojima Island, do you want to go see them?"

Eriri enthusiastically offered her suggestions.

"Seeing whales is like buying lottery tickets; if you force it, you're less likely to succeed."

Kiyono Makoto shook his head. "Let's check out the other attractions on the island first, then go swimming and have a barbecue at the beach in the evening. If we're lucky, the whales will jump out on their own."

"Does the junior know how to barbecue?"

The senior student crossed her arms and looked over with great interest.

"The food on the island is delicious, but the flavors are too bland."

Kiyono Makoto nodded. "I asked the island's natives yesterday, and they said we can rent barbecue equipment and have a barbecue at the beach... Do you want some?"

Eriri's eyes lit up: "I want to eat!"

Kato Megumi's expression remained calm as she lightly said:

"I've never had a beach barbecue before, I'm really looking forward to it."

Rio Futaba said calmly, "I'm fine."

Nishimiya Shoko whispered:

"Um, I can help grill the meat..."

"..."

After discussing the matter, Kiyono Makoto and the girls began their island stroll.

First, we went to the botanical garden, then visited Hattori Yashiki, and finally climbed Hachijo Fuji, the highest peak on the island.

Around noon, the group successfully reached the summit of Mount Hachijo.

"The scenery is quite nice..."

Originally a little out of breath and sweating, Zhai Li looked around in surprise after reaching the top, her bright blue eyes sparkling.

Standing atop Mount Hachijo, one can overlook the entire island, surrounded by the vast and magnificent Pacific Ocean, evoking a sense of boundless wonder and an open-mindedness that broadens one's horizons.

Click, click.

Yuzuru Nishimiya's face showed surprise as she quickly took photos with her camera.

The sea breeze was a bit strong at the mountaintop. Kasumigaoka Utaha covered her skirt with one hand and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear with the other. Her voice was clear and cold:

"It's said there's a small Asama Shrine inside the crater where you can pray for good fortune. Shall we go check it out?"

Kiyono Makoto looked down at the crater and subconsciously remarked:

"What if the volcano erupts just as we go down...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a small hand swiftly reached out and covered Kiyono Makoto's mouth.

Eriri's fangs warning:

"You idiot, Seino! Don't talk nonsense!"

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

Once bitten by a snake, twice shy.

Eriri can't stand anyone making a promise now; she'll immediately interrupt her spellcasting if she hears it.

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses, looked down at the crater, and spoke calmly:

"From a purely rational perspective, Mount Hachijo-Fuji only erupted thousands of years ago, so the probability of it erupting again today is extremely low. Geologically, volcanic eruption cycles are typically measured in tens of thousands of years, so there is no need to worry."

The crater is over 400 meters in diameter, which is quite huge, and it even contains lakes and lush forests.

Besides Makoto Kiyono and his group, many tourists were taking photos and checking in at the place.
