The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a soft breath and looked up at him:

"The government has formed a secret unit specifically to recruit players. I heard the benefits are quite generous, and my sister suggested we consider it."

"That's definitely something we can consider."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly, showing no resistance.

As the saying goes, it's good to have a big tree to lean on; everyone hates the privileged class, but everyone wants to be part of the privileged class.

"The official team can't help in the dungeon, but they can definitely help solve any real-world problems that are difficult to resolve on their own."

Kiyono Makoto analyzed seriously:

However, rights and obligations often go hand in hand; if you enjoy a right, you are likely to have an inescapable obligation.

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita parted her pink lips, but didn't mention Haruno's desire to collaborate privately. She spoke softly:

"There's one last thing... People have been mysteriously disappearing in Tokyo lately."

"Um?"

"It's like disappearing into thin air, like suddenly vanishing on their way to work or school, and even official searches yield no results, as if they've simply vanished into thin air..." Yukino Yukinoshita said seriously, "It's most likely the work of some evil players."

Players' abilities can be used in the real world, and some can even become stronger in the real world... For example, if a player obtains ghoul blood, they will definitely be unable to resist eating people in the real world.

"Evil player..."

Kiyono Makoto recalled the werewolf on that rainy night:

"Hopefully, the authorities can apprehend the perpetrator as soon as possible and protect ordinary citizens."

Those who are not in a position should not concern themselves with its affairs.

Protecting world peace is the mission of Superman and Batman.

Makoto Kiyono has never considered himself a superhero, so he naturally doesn't feel anything when he hears about people mysteriously disappearing one after another.

The three arrived at the tram stop, took the tram, and headed to the shopping center.

We prepared the supplies, had a buffet barbecue for dinner, and then went home together.

"I'm going upstairs to take a shower."

Kiyono Makoto greeted them and went upstairs first.

After taking a shower, Kiyono Makoto returned to his room and played on his phone for a while, when he suddenly remembered something.

"Wait... the ice magic scroll should have healed by now."

He took out an ice magic scroll from his spatial backpack, and sure enough, the cracks on the surface had completely healed.

"Go downstairs and find Yukinoshita."

Kiyono Makoto quickly made a decision and got up to leave the room.

Although the side effects of soul swapping have not yet been eliminated, cultivation skills should be linked to the soul, not the body.

"You'll find out the specifics once you try it."

Kiyono Makoto stepped downstairs and soon saw a girl in pajamas with flaxen hair drying her hair in the bathroom. It was Yukino Yukinoshita.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom; clearly, Shoko was taking a shower.

"...Kiyono-kun?"

Seeing Kiyono Makoto stride over, Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively turned her body to the side, quietly covering her chest with her right hand.

Now that she's in a glass body, covering her chest is definitely necessary.

Although not as exaggerated as her senior and Futaba, Shoko's development is actually quite good.

"This is an ice magic scroll..."

Kiyono Makoto remained calm, took out an ice magic scroll, and quickly explained the reason.

"...Thank you, Kiyono-kun."

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her pink lips and whispered:

"Your hair will be done soon... please wait a moment."

Kiyono Makoto nodded, turned around and sat on the sofa, patiently waiting while playing on his phone.

A moment later.

A fragrant breeze wafted in, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

"Kiyono-kun, your hair is done."

Yukino Yukinoshita covered her chest with her right hand, while her left hand quietly gripped the hem of her pajamas.

Wearing pajamas to a boy's house... how embarrassing!

Unfortunately, the clothes I bought today haven't been washed yet, so I can't wear them for now.

"for you."

Kiyono Makoto looked up at Yukino and handed her the ice magic scroll:

"It's very easy to use; just spread your arms out."

"......good."

Yukino Yukinoshita received the ice magic scroll with both hands and then gently unfurled it.

Blue snowflake fragments flew out rapidly, each one disappearing into Yukino's body.

Click, click.

As the last snowflake disappeared, the surface of the scroll was once again covered with cracks, as if it would shatter and vanish at any moment.

Fortunately, Yukino Yukinoshita had prior experience with this, so she wasn't nervous and calmly handed over the scroll:

"Thank you, Kiyono-kun."

Kiyono Makoto put away the ice magic scroll and looked at Yukino curiously:

What skills did you learn?

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her beautiful lips, naturally making no attempt to hide anything:

"It is the Arrow of Frost..."

As she spoke, Yukino Yukinoshita opened her character panel and displayed her abilities.

[Skill: Frost Arrow]

【Category: Active Skill】

[Effect: Infuses arrows with the power of frost, dealing explosive damage and area-of-effect (AOE) damage to the target. The arrow can be charged during the attack; the longer the charge, the higher the damage, but the process continuously consumes Spirit Power.]

[Skill Level: LV1]

[Note: You can directly use points or actively train to improve your skill level]

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

For some reason, I have a vague sense of déjà vu about this skill.

That certain True Lord who tumbled down the mountain seems to possess similar abilities?

"It's an unexpected pairing with Yukino-san." Kiyono Makoto suddenly noticed another skill, raising an eyebrow in surprise. "Wait... I saw the cat transformation technique?"

Yukino Yukinoshita quickly closed the skill panel and turned her pretty face away:

"...That ability is not worth worrying about."

Kiyono Makoto looks back on the past:

"So, Yukino can turn into a cat?"

Yukino Yukinoshita gently bit her lower lip, her ear tips slightly burning, her tone calm:

"Transforming into a cat greatly increases stealth, but it doesn't boost combat power; that's all."

Kiyono Makoto raised his right hand:

"I want to see..."

"stare--"

Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes and looked at him with a cold, piercing gaze, as if she wanted to freeze Kiyono Makoto's soul.

"I'm so sorry, I take back what I just said."

Seino Makoto silently lowered his right hand:

"By the way, how about we try out our newly acquired skill at the snow globe?"

"The skill description only says it will cause explosive damage, but there is no detailed data on the blast radius. If we don't understand it, we might get accidentally injured."

"Shoko-san is still taking a shower..."

Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated slightly. She had originally planned to wait for Shoko to come out, but considering how long it took for girls to bathe, she ultimately shook her head.

"let's go."

Kiyono Makoto nodded, took out a snow globe, placed it on the living room table, and then extended his right hand, speaking naturally:

"Yukino-san, give me your hand."

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for half a second before gently grasping Makoto Kiyono's fingers.

In interpersonal social interactions, handshakes are one of the most common forms of etiquette, and Yukino Yukinoshita naturally wouldn't resist them.

But even though it was just a normal handshake, for some reason, the tips of my ears felt inexplicably hot.

The reason... is probably because Kiyono's hands were too hot, right?

Space was slightly distorted.

The two figures vanished suddenly.

"They're in."

After looking around and confirming that it was a wooden house in a snow globe, Kiyono Makoto quickly released his grip on Yukino's right hand.

"call......"

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a soft breath, subtly hiding her hands behind her back, and then followed Makoto Kiyono out of the cabin.

The landscape is covered in silver, with snow-capped mountains stretching as far as the eye can see.

"...Let's use that pine tree as the test subject."

Yukino Yukinoshita reached out and gently grasped the bow, which appeared out of thin air in her palm. She then drew the bowstring and aimed at a pine tree dozens of meters away.

Blue energy began to gather on the arrow.

Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, swirling around Yukino beneath the snow.

The once gentle and timid Shoko has quietly transformed into an ice queen, exuding an imposing and unapproachable aura.

As it continued to gather power, the frost on the arrow rapidly compressed, eventually solidifying into a magnificent ice and snow flower.

"...It's reached its limit."

Yukino Yukinoshita finally loosened her grip.

Buzz.

The bowstring trembled.

The Frost Arrow transformed into a streak of blue light, flashing out like lightning and creating a vacuum channel filled with tiny ice crystals in the air before striking the cedar tree dozens of meters away.

Click!

The moment the arrow struck, an ice flower suddenly bloomed, and a blue chill swept through, freezing the entire pine tree into an ice sculpture.

"That's impressive."

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone appreciative:

"Both the damage numbers and the area of ​​effect are impressive, but the charging time seems a bit long... Yukino-kun?"
