The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

So, in the future, if there's an emergency, should we also...?

"Junior, the spoils are all packed up."

Kasumigaoka Utaha walked over. The evening breeze was cool, and her black hair fluttered gently in the wind, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

"Shall we go back to the lakeside first?"

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly, surveying the chaotic battlefield.

"Let's go, hurry back to the lake, lest our home be raided."

A Demon Slayer Corps member is worth 500 points; nothing can be done about it.

A moment later.

Kiyono Makoto and the girls rushed back to the lake.

"You're finally back."

"It sounded like an earthquake just now. The noise was terrifying. What happened?"

"Where are the evil spirits?"

"..."

The Demon Slayer Corps members rushed forward, all looking tense, thinking that some terrible demon had appeared.

Kiyono Makoto started observing the entries, scanning through these people one by one, and quickly felt relieved:

"Thank goodness, we won."

"..."

After calming the Demon Slayer Corps members down, Kasumigaoka Utaha reached out her right hand and gently tugged at Kiyono Makoto's sleeve, her beautiful ruby-like eyes sparkling as she looked over:

"Junior, the wound is both painful and itchy right now. It must be the toxin acting up. Let's use our team skill to remove the toxin quickly!"

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the flat-chested girl, and said softly:

"Yukinoshita-san, please come with me for a moment."

"Huh?"

Yukino Yukinoshita paused slightly, then pursed her beautiful lips and followed Makoto Kiyono to a large tree.

"The purpose of forming this team is singular: to work together to survive. We will not use our position as team leader to coerce you, nor will we ask you to hand over points. You can rest assured about that."

Kiyono Makoto stopped and looked at the girl with long, straight black hair beside him.

"So... would you like to join the team, Yukinoshita-san?"

In response to the invitation, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly, her voice clear and pleasant:

"Although we haven't known each other for very long, I've already gotten to know everyone... and I'm willing to join."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Kiyono Makoto took out a parchment and handed it to Yukino, explaining in advance:

"This is a team contract item, but signing a team contract requires fulfilling a prerequisite... Yukinoshita, please take a look."

"......What?"

After carefully reading the contract terms, Yukino Yukinoshita's delicate eyebrows furrowed quickly.

"If you feel you can't accept it right now, you can talk about it later."

Seino Makoto's expression was innocent:

"But we've tried before; certain prerequisites must be met, otherwise a contract cannot be signed."

"......No."

Yukino Yukinoshita closed her eyes, exhaled softly, and her clear, firm voice quickly rang out:

"I...can accept it."

Making him call someone "Dad" wasn't meant to be humiliating; it was just a prerequisite given by the props, so it didn't matter.

If the conditions are deliberately set to humiliate me, then I would rather accept death than violate my principles.

Kiyono Makoto was slightly surprised, not expecting Yukinoshita to agree so readily; her decisiveness was unexpected.

"Understood. To complete the contract ritual, I must know your full name; otherwise, I cannot imprint your true name."

Kiyono Makoto asked softly, "What is Yukinoshita-san's real name?"

The girl with long, straight black hair turned her pretty face away, her voice clear and cold, and whispered her full name:

"... Yukinoshita Yukino."

"So, shall I begin?"

"Um."

Kiyono Makoto extended his right hand, his expression quickly becoming serious:

"...Yukino Yukinoshita, be my daughter!"

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent for three seconds, her black hair falling down to cover her face, before her clear, cold voice rang out:

"......dad."

The girl's voice was exceptionally cold and unresponsive, revealing no emotional fluctuations, as if her state of mind remained completely undisturbed.

But Kiyono Makoto could see clearly that a faint blush had risen on the girl's fair and jade-like face; she was obviously just putting on a brave face.

"As expected, she has an extremely dishonest personality..."

Kiyono Makoto silently complained to himself.

As Yukino responded, the parchment scroll moved on its own without wind, quickly floating into the air. Then, as if an invisible flaming pen had been used to write on it, it swiftly wrote Yukino's name.

Shortly after, Yukino Yukinoshita received a notification from the amusement park:

You have joined the team...

[The team's public channel is now unlocked. Please note that speaking requires points.]

[The team's shared storage space is now available...]

A series of prompts appeared, temporarily easing Yukino Yukinoshita's embarrassment.

Kiyono Makoto quietly opened the character panel and discovered that his agility attribute had received an extra bonus, clearly indicating that agility was Yukino's strongest attribute.

"Let's go back and use our team skills to cleanse the toxins."

Kiyono Makoto turned and walked outside.

Senior, Eriri, Masato, Futaba, Shoko, the newly joined Yukino, plus Kiyono herself, make a total of seven people.

The team size limit is ten people, which means there are only three spots left.

Who are the remaining three teammates...?

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita silently followed behind, her left hand gently holding her right arm, her clear and beautiful eyes quietly falling on Makoto Kiyono's back.

Humans are almost always unaware of the choices they face when confronted with destiny.

But at this moment, Yukino Yukinoshita clearly felt that from this moment on, fate had embarked on a different path...

"Welcome to the team, Yukinoshita-san."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled and looked over, "From now on, we'll be teammates fighting side by side."

"welcome."

The girls responded with kindness, explaining that they had all received a notification from the park earlier.

Although Yukino Yukinoshita has a cool and aloof personality and doesn't talk much, she responds earnestly to the kindness of the girls.

"...Please continue to guide me in the future."

"Junior, sir~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head and looked over:

"Use team skills quickly, the wound is feeling increasingly strange."

"it is good."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly and decisively used the team skill.

As expected, the venom of the human-faced spider was quickly and completely removed.

"The poisoning has... disappeared."

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her beautiful lips, and seeing that she was back to her healthy state, she quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

Should we press our advantage and press our advantage?

Eriri put her hands on her hips and offered her suggestion.

"Don't act impulsively."

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto shook his head:

"Although we won a great victory just now, there was a lot of luck involved. It wasn't our usual fighting force. The Summoning Emblem can only be used once every 24 hours, and we can't summon Deepwater Hina again before the dungeon ends, so playing it safe is the best option."

"That's right."

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses, her tone calm and composed, "Before the final battle, we need to get ourselves into peak condition."

"For example... have Kiyono help enhance everyone's ice magic."

"And those blood-red keys."

Kasumigaoka Utaha softly suggested, "Let's open all the keys first; there might be something good inside."

Everyone naturally agreed with the senior's suggestion.

Six blood-red keys were lined up in a row; now it was time for the much-anticipated unboxing.

Weapons, potions, items... I got a lot of stuff, but unfortunately, not much of it was actually valuable.

There are really only two things that are truly interesting.

First, there was a black and red cube that felt weightless when held in the hand. The material was unclear, but the space around the cube was clearly distorted in a subtle way.

【Item: Space Cube】

[Category: Curiosities]

[Note: This is a special creation possessing magical spatial power, capable of fusing with certain special items.]

The power of space sounds incredibly advanced, but unfortunately, it's unusable.

The item description was vague, not specifying what it could be fused with. Kiyono Makoto and the girls tried several things out of curiosity, but the Space Cube remained silent and unmoved, so they had to give up for the time being.

The second item was a pair of dark silver earrings, with counter-clockwise spiral runes engraved on the studs, making them look as if they were made of crystal, and they were exceptionally beautiful.

[Item: Destiny Twin Earrings]

[Category: Curiosities]

【Usage Conditions: This item can only be activated when the fates of both parties are intertwined】

[Passive: Shared Senses. When both parties wear the Destiny Earrings simultaneously, they will gain a spiritual resonance and the ability to share their five senses.]

[Active: Fate in Sync. Activating the set effect, when launching a coordinated attack on the same target, each attack will deal additional true damage.]

[Note: Those who manipulate fate will be punished. Each use of the earring will result in a random side effect, but these side effects are not permanent and will disappear on their own after a certain period of time.]

Chapter 142 Eriri: There are too many people whose fates are intertwined.

"The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. The effects of telepathic resonance and shared senses are extremely useful, essentially giving you an extra pair of eyes."

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses, her tone calm and collected:

"Not only that, the active effect can also deal additional true damage... There's a saying circulating on the forums: 'If it has true damage, choose it without hesitation.' It's a rather noble attribute, making these earrings extremely valuable items."
