The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

"......careful!"

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, subconsciously drawing back the bowstring, and the cool light began to gather once more.

"Don't do it."

Kiyono Makoto extended his right hand to stop Yukino, then calmly looked at Shoko.

Being observant and attentive to all directions is a basic skill for players. When the glass suddenly moved, he had already noticed its abnormality.

"You should be able to hear me, right?"

Kiyono Makoto's voice was calm and steady.

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko rushed over without saying a word, her eyes filled with panic and anxiety.

"Can't you speak?"

Kiyono Makoto stepped back half a step, dodging the gunpowder attack, his expression remaining calm.

The attack by the glass demon was completely chaotic, even less effective than the Demon Slayer Corps members earlier. They didn't use any weapons from their personal storage space or any special skills. Clearly, the spider demon behind them, Oni Musume, only had control over the body and couldn't affect the Paradise behind the player.

Since you're conscious... using your skills shouldn't be a problem, right?

Kiyono Makoto glanced at the female Demon Slayer Corps member beside him, bound by beams of light but still struggling desperately, blood even trickling from the corner of her mouth, and simply gave the order:

"Shoko, use the Substitution Jutsu."

The Spider Demon Mother's abilities are troublesome; she can even control puppets to self-destruct. No one knows what she might control Shoko to do. For safety's sake, we must find the little spider on Shoko's body as soon as possible.

The mountain was dimly lit, making it difficult to find the little spider.

In that case, the substitution technique becomes the best option.

Shoko's Substitution Jutsu level is currently too low to move her location while carrying her clothes.

After using the Stand, Spider-Man might detach directly, or he might be transferred along with Shoko, but either way, it would be better than the current situation.

Besides him, there was only one female member of the Demon Slayer Corps and Yukino Yukinoshita present, so even if there was a wardrobe malfunction, there was no need to worry too much.

"..."

Upon hearing the order, Nishimiya Shoko did not hesitate and quickly used the Substitution Technique, disappearing instantly, leaving only her clothes slowly drifting down.

"Um?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's pupils suddenly contracted, and she looked over sharply.

Instant teleportation?

That girl, Nishimiya, who looks like a complete newbie, actually possesses such amazing abilities?

The next second.

Suddenly, a figure so white it seemed to glow appeared in the air in front of Kiyono Makoto.

As expected, after using the Substitute Technique, Shoko instantly transformed into a little lamb.

The moonlight fell on the girl's snow-white skin, even brightening the dim forest.

"Well......"

Noticing Kiyono Makoto's gaze, Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face flushed red. She frantically tried to raise her arms to cover her chest, but her body remained in a puppet-like state, completely unable to move.

The spider demon mother behind her seemed shocked by what had just happened. After a second of stunned silence, she controlled Shoko to raise her arms and launch an attack.

Puff puff puff ~

As the glass moved, the slime suddenly became lively and energetic, displaying the unique youthful vitality of a young girl.

(No, no!!!)

Realizing her current shameful state, Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face instantly turned bright red, almost to the point of bleeding.

"Oh no, it's a sex attack..."

While mentally complaining, Kiyono Makoto narrowed his eyes, his gaze rapidly sweeping over every inch of Shoko's skin.

Shoko is still launching attacks, proving that after using the Stand technique, Spider-Man is still on her body and did not leave with her clothes.

"There's nothing on her neck..."

"There's nothing on my chest..."

"There's none on my thighs either..."

Kiyono Makoto quickly scanned the girl's snow-white skin, and finding nothing, he decisively slipped behind Shoko.

Under the cold moonlight, a black spider the size of a soybean finally appeared before my eyes.

"...on his back!"

Kiyono Makoto swiftly extended his right hand and grabbed the Onigumo on Shoko's back.

Seemingly sensing the approaching danger, the little spider suddenly struggled and turned its head to bite Kiyono Makoto.

*Splat*

Kiyono Makoto remained calm, and with a slight increase in force, crushed it.

With a burst of black mist, the Onigumo quickly vanished into the moonlight.

at the same time.

A notification pops up in front of Seino Makoto's eyes:

You have killed the Spider Demon Mother Puppet Spider and gained one point.

"I'm so sorry...!"

A flustered and ashamed girl suddenly apologized.

As the little spider was crushed, Shoko finally regained control of her body. Her pretty face was burning hot, and she hurriedly covered her chest and squatted on the ground.

"Don't apologize yet, hurry up and get dressed."

Makoto Kiyono quickly picked up the scattered clothes, handed them to Shoko, and then turned to walk towards the female member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"......call."

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a soft breath and silently put away her longbow.

As fellow members of the Ghost Hunter faction, the stronger your teammates, the higher your chances of winning... So far, they don't seem to be clueless teammates who are helpless in the face of trouble.

With a slight shift in her gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita looked towards Kiyono.

The girl clearly followed the boy's every command, but so far, he had only displayed considerable physical prowess... What abilities could he possibly possess?

Kiyono Makoto strode up to the female member of the Demon Slayer Corps, half-squatted down, and looked directly into her pained and terrified eyes.

Their eyes met.

"...I need to verify the license plate."

Splash!

As the words fell, playing cards suddenly flew out and appeared in the air.

Shoko is an important teammate and must be rescued immediately, but the female Demon Slayer in front of them is not; she can be used as an experimental subject.

"......Um?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and she involuntarily took a few steps forward, her gaze falling on the card in mid-air, her heart beating faster.

Her previous dungeon was "Slay the Spire," during which she encountered a monster called the "Grasshopper Thief." After successfully completing the dungeon, she obtained the skill "Card Thief" from the completion chest.

The skill description is simple: it allows you to steal one card from the enemy during battle.

The problem is that once you leave the Slay the Spire dungeon, this skill becomes extremely useless.

In other dungeons, whether it's players or monsters, who carries cards?

Even if they did carry the cards, there would be no point in stealing them.

But at this moment, looking at the cards floating in mid-air, Yukino Yukinoshita's heart suddenly raced, and a bold idea involuntarily arose in her mind.

The cards before me are also cards... Can I steal them?

What would happen if they actually managed to steal it?

Yukinoshita parted her pink lips, but ultimately chose to remain silent, not in a hurry to speak.

"This is similar to a reconnaissance ability."

Kiyono Makoto turned to look at the long-haired, black-haired girl who had walked up to him and casually explained.

【Name: White Bird Iris】

[Ability: Water Breathing Technique]

Basic attributes:......

[Weaknesses: Sweets, soles of feet, earlobes]

[Current Status: Being controlled by a spider, which is located behind the right earlobe]

"......very good."

Kiyono Makoto's eyes lit up slightly.

Although it requires eye-to-eye contact to activate the ability, which is a bit troublesome, it must be said that the amount of information obtained is enormous, covering almost every detail.

Kiyono Makoto swiftly extended his right hand, quickly reached behind the female team member's right ear, and pinched a small spider.

Splat ~

With a slight squeeze of his fingertips, the little spider was instantly crushed, turning into a cloud of black mist and disappearing without a trace.

You have killed a Puppet Spider and gained one point...

Puff.

After breaking free from the spider's control, the female member of the Demon Slayer Corps suddenly went limp, as if her bones had been removed, and collapsed directly towards Kiyono Makoto.

"Miss Iris, what is one plus two?"

Kiyono Makoto reached out and supported himself on the other person's shoulder.

"Huh...?"

The female team member who had regained her freedom was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously replied:

"Equals three?"

The female team member's voice was soft and gentle, unexpectedly weak, completely lacking any of the cold and ruthless aura she possessed.

"Very good, conscious and speaking clearly, he should be back to normal."

Seino Makoto stood up:

"Can't you move around on your own?"

"Can......"

The female team member nodded subconsciously, finally realizing what was happening:

"Wait, how do you know my name?"

Makoto Kiyono didn't even blink:

"You just said that."

"I...did I say that?"

The female team member looked bewildered.

Don't overthink it.

Kiyono Makoto casually took out a piece of chocolate, tore it open, and handed it to him, saying, "Have something to calm your nerves."

The female team member looked over curiously:

"what is this?"

Makoto Kiyono explained:

"A sweet treat that can quickly replenish energy; you'll know once you try it."
