The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

After a brief chat, the three of them went out together to a nearby large supermarket to buy groceries.

"Junior, the task of pushing the cart is now yours."

Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke in a languid voice, tilting her head to look over.

Seino Makoto pushed a shopping cart over:

"You're in charge of selecting the ingredients."

The senior student turned her head and looked at the quiet science student next to her:

"If Futaba wants any vegetables, just take them. Today, Junior-kun will be cooking, so if there's anything you don't want to eat, remember to let me know in advance."

Rio Futaba nodded gently: "I know."

The three chatted as they headed to the ingredients section, with Kiyono Makoto pushing the cart while his senior and Futaba selected the ingredients.

Working together as a team makes the work easier.

Looking at the two girls in front of him, Kiyono Makoto felt unusually calm.

If only things could stay like this forever...

The next second.

A sudden burning pain shot through the back of my hand, as if it were on fire.

"Um?"

Kiyono Makoto quickly looked down at the back of his hand and saw the Paradise Mark flickering slightly.

A cold, ruthless, and vast voice echoed deep within his mind:

The mandatory dungeon will officially open in one hour. Players, please be prepared.

"...They've arrived."

Kiyono Makoto took a deep breath, his expression immediately turning serious.

"Junior?"

Behind her came Kasumigaoka Utaha's anxious, low voice calling out.

Kiyono Makoto turned his head and saw his senior biting her lower lip, her eyes filled with obvious nervousness.

The difficulty of the dungeon will be dynamically balanced with the player's strength, so even experienced players can perish if they are not careful. It's perfectly normal for the senior to be nervous.

Although Futaba didn't speak, her body was clearly tense, and her eyes stared at her without blinking.

They exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly; they had all clearly received the instance notification.

This is the advantage of formally forming a team: when participating in mandatory dungeons, you don't have to fight alone; you can enter the dungeon as a team.

"call......"

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath, his voice steady:

"Buy the ingredients first, take them back and put them in the refrigerator. After clearing the dungeon, come back and prepare the meal properly."

"..."

Chapter 133: The Girls' Preparation Time.

"Besides us, everyone else should have received a notification from the park, right?"

"It's Futaba," she said softly.

The moment he finished speaking, his phone vibrated slightly in his pocket.

Kiyono Makoto took out his phone, and as expected, it was a message from Takumi and the others.

Eriri: "You idiot Seino, I just got a dungeon notification!"

Kato Megumi: "Kiyono-kun, the mark on the back of your hand suddenly became hot."

Nishimiya Shoko: "Um...should we gather together first?"

"..."

As expected, all the girls who officially formed the team received the dungeon notification.

Kiyono Makoto remained calm and silently sent a location message:

"There's still an hour before the dungeon opens, so let's meet at my place first."

"..."

Putting away his phone, Kiyono Makoto looked at the girl with glasses:

"How's the equipment forging going?"

The equipment that Futaba is currently forging is a dagger intended for Saint-classmate to use.

Unfortunately, Kato Megumi only has a few dozen points. Buying a fruit knife is no problem, but she definitely can't afford a weapon, so she needs help forging a dagger.

Rio Futaba pushed up her glasses:

"No problem, it will be forged in half an hour at most."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly:

"Let's hurry up and get back as soon as we've finished shopping."

"..."

Time was of the essence, and the three of them, no longer as leisurely as before, began to move with quiet urgency.

While passing through the seafood section, Kiyono Makoto casually bought a pufferfish with the "poison" attribute, intending to strip the attribute and load it onto his dagger.

"Buy more ingredients."

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly suggested softly, "After we clear the dungeon, we can all have a meal together... It's our first time cooking, the more people the better, the more fun it will be!"

Seino Makoto looked at his senior and nodded in agreement:

"That's a good option."

"..."

A moment later.

The three of them carried the groceries back to their senior's house.

"Let's put the ingredients in the refrigerator first; there's definitely no time to cook now."

After entering the house, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly got to work.

Rio Futaba helped out from the side, and after she finished, she turned to look over:

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, I want to ask you for a favor."

"What's up?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head curiously.

As far as I can remember, this seems to be the first time Futaba has formally asked me for help. You know, Futaba is the type who absolutely hates bothering others, so this sudden request for help... it must be something very important, right?

Futaba Rio looked calm:

"Before entering the dungeon, we should prepare as much as possible, but the curse on Qingye has not yet been fulfilled."

After a pause, Rio Futaba made a request:

"I'm going to forge some equipment... Could you please help me fulfill the curse, senior?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "......"

I went first!

I was supposed to go first! Why did Futaba ask me to do it?!

However, to be fair, it has been a while since I helped my junior fulfill his curse...

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, her gaze shifting as she glanced at Kiyono Makoto, a dangerous, ambiguous smile playing on her pretty face.

"No problem, leave it to me."

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

Hey, don't hand me over so easily!

Rio Futaba said softly:

"Please give me a quiet room."

"Junior, sir."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze shifted, and she lazily ordered, "Take Futaba to the guest room on the second floor."

"...Come with me."

Kiyono Makoto nodded helplessly and led Futaba upstairs.

This is the guest room.

Kiyono Makoto opened the door and softly instructed, "Don't rush, rest when you need to."

"I know."

Rio Futaba nodded gently.

"Then I'll go down..."

Kiyono Makoto turned to leave.

She had only taken half a step when someone suddenly grabbed the hem of her clothes.

Rio Futaba unconsciously looked away, lowering her voice, "...Help me replenish my mana."

"Um?"

"When I arrived, I was forging equipment at home, and my mental energy is quite depleted. I might enter a weakened state later..."

Seeing the girl quietly explaining her science background, Kiyono Makoto simply took two steps forward, opened his arms, and pulled Futaba into his embrace.

"Well......"

The moderate pressure caused Rio Futaba to let out a soft groan.

After hesitating for two seconds, the science-oriented girl blushed, raised her hands, gently hugged Kiyono Makoto's lower back, and then closed her eyes.

Putting aside her scientific thinking, Futaba is just an ordinary girl, and of course she'll feel nervous and scared facing the upcoming dungeon.

But at this moment, smelling the scent on Kiyono Makoto, Futaba's tense heart suddenly calmed down.

A moment later.

My mental energy was quietly replenished.

Rio Futaba blushed and took a half step back, whispering:

"There are no problems now... Kiyono, you can go down now."

Seino Makoto nodded:

"Feel free to message me anytime if you need anything."

"it is good."

"..."

Kiyono Makoto closed the door behind him and walked downstairs.

"Why did it take you so long to come down, junior?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned back on the sofa, looking over with a suspicious gaze.

"Futaba was forging equipment at home earlier, and her mental energy was depleted. I was just helping her replenish her mana."

Kiyono answered frankly.

We've already told everyone about the mana replenishment ability, and now that we're about to enter the dungeon, there's no need to hide it.

"Heh~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's tone was melancholic:
