The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Page 145

Everyone has been working so hard for so long to unlock the skill stones.

[Skill: Shadow Walker]

[Passive Effect: When in the shadows, presence is slightly reduced, and all attributes are increased by 20%]

[Active Effect: Continuously burns mental energy, allowing you to enter a shadow space. This space is a subspace attached to reality, during which you are immune to all physical damage. The first attack after leaving the shadow space is guaranteed to be a critical hit.]

Chapter 124 Yuzuru, you don't want your sister to worry, do you?

"A very useful skill."

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses and gave it extremely high praise:

"It can be said to be a god-level ability that assassin players dream of."

"that......"

Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips and said lightly, "Actually, I'd rather provide treatment for everyone later."

Unfortunately, the saintly student protested quietly, but no one paid any attention.

"It wasn't in vain that everyone put in so much effort and time."

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, "That's definitely an incredibly powerful ability."

"Uh-huh."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded repeatedly, praising gently:

"Xiao Hui is amazing!"

Eriri, hands on her hips, couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"You all only care about how capable someone is. Am I the only one who cares about losing my presence?"

"Kato's presence is already very low. If he continues to lower his presence, he'll probably just disappear altogether, right?"

"Wouldn't that be incredibly troublesome in daily life?"

Kato Megumi's expression remained calm:

"Hmm... I am indeed having some troubles."

He said he was troubled, but his tone and expression remained as calm as ever.

Unless faced with water magic, the saint's calm and composed state of mind is unbreakable.

"It's unlikely that he's gone into hiding."

Kiyono Makoto whispered from the side, "However, the reduced presence is indeed a problem... It's daytime now, so we can't feel anything for the time being. We can only wait until night to observe further."

As he spoke, Kiyono Makoto couldn't help but recall the scene of their first encounter.

That's the sports storage room after school.

Following the daily intelligence report, I went to the sports warehouse to search for the future 'Shadow Blade', only to encounter Kato Megumi locked inside... At that moment, I guessed that Saint-kun might be the so-called Shadow Blade.

Now the speculation has become reality.

Without a doubt.

Shadow Walker will become the signature ability of the Saint.

The senior's languid voice rang out:

"I just opened the Paradise Shop and didn't see the [Shadow Walker] ability."

"That's normal."

Kiyono Makoto turned to look at his senior, "Just like my mutated water magic, it's not sold in the shop either. Some experienced players can create their own skills, but these skills won't appear in the shop either... Simply put, the shop isn't all-encompassing."

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses, more concerned with practical matters:

"How long can Kato stay in the Shadow Dimension?"

Kato Megumi shook her head:

"I haven't tried it yet."

"Let's try it tonight; we need to collect data beforehand."

Rio Futaba said seriously, "The stronger the ability, the greater the consumption it usually takes. We can't be careless."

Kato Megumi softly agreed:

"I see."

Weapons also need to be prepared.

Kiyono Makoto, standing by, pointed out any gaps in his knowledge: "Your abilities are powerful, but having the right weapon is equally important."

As an assassin, the most suitable weapon is naturally the dagger.

Unfortunately, everyone used their points to enhance their attributes yesterday, and now they're short on cash, so they definitely can't afford to buy equipment.

But it's not a big problem.

Even if you can't afford to buy it right now, you can forge it yourself and then continuously add attributes.

Rio Futaba looked up at him.

Their eyes met.

The science-oriented girl nodded slightly, clearly understanding what Kiyono Makoto had left unsaid.

Kato Megumi spoke calmly:

"We'll talk about that later... The squid is grilled, everyone, shall we try it?"

"Let me try it."

Makoto Kiyono picked up a grilled squid skewer and quickly gave it a thumbs up:

"A perfect score! The world's best grilled squid."

"Eh..."

Saint looked up at him, his expression calm, showing no embarrassment at the praise. "Kiyono-kun, that's too much."

"A person is in high spirits when good things happen."

Kiyono Makoto said confidently, "I'm very happy now, and the grilled squid is delicious to begin with, so one plus one equals more than two, naturally it's the world's most delicious food."

thump.

A small foot quietly stepped over.

Eriri put her hands on her hips, looked at him with disdain, and spoke with a hint of sourness:

"You idiot, Kiyono, get out of my way! Don't get in my way while I'm eating."

It's true that praising other girls in front of you can make you inexplicably angry.

"Tsk~"

A teasing voice came from the side:

"Is Sawamura jealous?"

"Who would be jealous!"

Eriri glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed, then hissed like a kitten, "It's just that this guy is in the way!"

"No, right?"

The senior student's lips curled slightly upward, her voice languid, "Junior, bring me the chicken wings you grilled, then feed me."

"ha?!"

Eriri involuntarily raised her voice and quickly stepped on Kiyono Makoto's right foot:

"Don't help!"

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

I never agreed to it, so get your foot off me right now!

Eriri quickly tilted her pretty face up, her fangs flashing a warning:

"That fat woman in black stockings just lies there playing on her phone, not helping at all, and now she wants someone to bring the barbecue over. She'll become useless like this. If she wants barbecue, she should come and eat it herself!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head, looking at her with a half-smile, a strand of her silky black hair falling down and swaying gently in the sea breeze:

"Sawamura-kun is jealous after all, isn't he?"

Eriri vehemently denied it:

"I don't!"

The senior student unleashed her ultimate weapon:

"Then let my junior feed me barbecue."

Yinglili: "......"

If she doesn't let him feed her, she'll seem jealous; if she does, she'll get incredibly angry. Eriri quickly enters a state of blushing.

Seeing that another chaotic scene was about to erupt, Kiyono Makoto quickly ate a skewer of grilled squid and then turned and left.

"My stomach hurts, I need to go to the restroom. My senior got up and ate barbecue by herself."

"..."

A moment later.

After tidying up, Kiyono Makoto was walking back towards the setting sun when he suddenly noticed a petite, short-haired girl sitting behind a tall, black rock, with a Sony camera next to her.

Yuzuru?

Upon unexpectedly encountering his younger sister, Makoto Kiyono naturally wouldn't ignore her. He walked over and called out from afar:

"...Let's go back and have some barbecue."

In order to get the photos, Yuzuru Nishimiya was running around with his camera in hand. We hadn't seen him for a while, and Shoko was just talking about it.

Upon hearing the shout, Nishimiya Yuzuru's body trembled slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look over.

The orange glow of the setting sun fell on the girl's face, and the hazy mist in her eyes was clearly visible.

"What's wrong?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It's alright, don't worry about me."

Yuzuru Nishimiya quickly averted his gaze, tightening his jawline, his voice deliberately remaining cold, "...I'll be back in a bit, you should hurry up and leave."

"..."

Kiyono Makoto didn't say anything, and walked a few steps to Nishimiya Yuzuru.

His gaze shifted downwards, quickly landing on Yuzuru Nishimiya clutching his right foot:

"Did you sprain your ankle again?"

After he finished speaking, Kiyono Makoto suddenly paused.

Wait, why did I say "again"?

"...I'm not that stupid."

Yuzuru Nishimiya was silent for two seconds, then lowered his head and spoke in a very soft voice:

"I came here to take pictures of the sunset, and suddenly my foot hurt... I accidentally stepped on a piece of seashell in the sand."

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly: "Injured?"

"..."

Yuzuru Nishimiya turned her face away and remained silent.
