The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

She's clearly adorable, yet she lacks any self-confidence—this is a common problem among people with low self-esteem.

"Glass is really bothering me."

Kiyono Makoto sighed softly.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Nishimiya Shoko lightly bit her lower lip and quickly apologized.

"The problem isn't that Shoko is causing me trouble," Kiyono Makoto said bluntly, "but rather how to make Shoko understand something."

"Huh?"

Nishimiya Shoko quietly raised her eyes and looked over.

Kiyono Makoto said seriously:

"Shoko is actually super cute. If she talked to me at school, everyone would just be envious and jealous."

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face flushed slightly, her eyes darted around, and her voice remained very unconfident:

"You don't need to comfort me, Kiyono-kun..."

Shoko used to always look down at her toes, never dared to look people in the eye, and didn't like to speak up. She was either bullied or treated like she was invisible, so she never had any confidence in herself.

"I've got an idea!"

After a moment of hesitation, Kiyono Makoto suddenly grasped Nishimiya Shoko's right hand and pressed it against his own chest.

"Eh... Kiyono-kun?"

Nishimiya Shoko blinked, puzzled.

"..."

Kiyono Makoto didn't say anything, but silently lowered his head and moved closer.

"Eh?"

Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face flushed red instantly, and she hurriedly closed her eyes, but her body did not flinch at all.

"It's not a kiss, open your eyes."

Kiyono Makoto's voice rang out.

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko's eyelashes trembled slightly. She shyly opened her eyes and saw that Kiyono Makoto had stopped in front of her and had not continued to approach. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a slight sense of disappointment.

Why...why did it stop?

Look me in the eyes.

Kiyono Makoto gave the instructions in a low voice.

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko suppressed her embarrassment at averting her gaze and shyly looked over.

Their eyes met.

The two could clearly see their reflections in each other's eyes.

"Too, too close..."

Even just making eye contact, Nishimiya Shoko's ears and neck turned pink, showing just how easily she gets shy.

Kiyono Makoto's voice rang out, gentle and deep:

"Shoko, feel my heartbeat right now."

"...A heartbeat?"

Shoko Nishimiya suppressed her shame and began to carefully experience the sensations.

"Kiyono-kun's heart is beating so fast..."

Kiyono Makoto said gently:

"So, stop belittling yourself. Just making eye contact with Shoko makes my heart race."

"..."

It wasn't a confession, but it had a greater impact than one.

boom.

Nishimiya Shoko opened her eyes wide, and white steam quickly gushed out from above her head.

"I...I...I...I...that...that..."

Overwhelmed with shame, Nishimiya Shoko's brain went blank, and she became incoherent.

Kiyono Makoto quickly released his right hand:

"Shoko, remember what I just said. Next time you belittle yourself, just wait and see."

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko looked down at her toes in a panic, too ashamed to speak.

Kiyono Makoto paused, then held up two fingers:

"If I remember correctly, Shoko just said sorry for the second time. This is the last chance we have today."

Nishimiya Glass: "..."

No, please don't!

From now on, I must be extremely careful and not say sorry a third time.

"Um, Yuzuru isn't back yet... Shall we go to my room and wait for him for a bit?"

Nishimiya Shoko quietly exhaled, her face flushed, and whispered a suggestion:

"Grandma could come back at any time..."

Kiyono Makoto nodded: "Let's go."

"..."

Back in the room, after letting Kiyono Makoto sit down and rest, Nishimiya Shoko turned and left.

"I just bought some fruit, Kiyono-kun, wait for me."

Bored, Seino Makoto took out his phone and opened a game he often played.

Not long after, Nishimiya Shoko came in with a fruit platter, which included washed grapes, peeled and chopped apples, and red cherry tomatoes.

"Kiyono-kun, I'm back."

Nishimiya Shoko knelt down beside Kiyono, her voice gentle:

"Seino-kun, have some fruit."

"Wait a moment, let me finish this game."

"it is good......"

Nishimiya Shoko knelt quietly beside him, tilting her head and gazing at Kiyono Makoto with gentle, focused eyes.

After a while, Shoko seemed to remember something, and a blush suddenly appeared on her pretty face. After hesitating for a moment, she quietly clenched her fist, then picked up a bamboo skewer, pierced a slice of apple, and handed it to Kiyono Makoto.

"Um... if you don't eat the apple soon, it'll rust. Kiyono-kun, please open your mouth."

That's not rust, it's an oxidation reaction!

Looking at the apple handed to him, Kiyono Makoto subconsciously opened his mouth.

Click.

Seeing Kiyono Makoto eat the apple, Nishimiya Shoko's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile, which she quickly concealed before continuing to poke at another piece of apple.

"Kiyono-kun, ah~"

Click.

The second apple has been fed.

Nishimiya Shoko pursed her pink lips, picked up a cherry tomato with her slender fingers, and naturally offered it to Kiyono Makoto's lips.

"Kiyono-kun, cherry tomatoes..."

The beginning is always the hardest.

Once you get through the first time, you'll find that many things aren't actually that difficult.

When Nishimiya Shoko first started feeding apples, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating. It took her a lot of courage to take the first step. Now, with each successful feeding, she no longer feels nervous at all.

"what......"

Nishimiya Shoko quickly picked up another grape and offered it to Kiyono Makoto's lips.

Kiyono Makoto opened his mouth and ate it, but quickly discovered that the grape skin was very thick and he couldn't swallow it at all.

"Is that... a grape skin?"

Nishimiya Shoko blinked, quickly noticing the change in Kiyono's expression. She took a napkin, placed it in her palm, and blushed as she handed it to Kiyono Makoto.

No words are needed; the actions speak for themselves.

"...Thank you, Glass."

Seino Makoto spat out the grape skins.

Nishimiya Shoko blushed and put down the tissue, then continued feeding the animals.

A moment later.

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed down the corridor.

"It's Yuzuru who's back."

Nishimiya Shoko's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up:

"Mom is still at work, and Grandma doesn't walk that fast... Kiyono-kun, wait a moment, I'll go call Yuzuru in."

As expected.

Sure enough, a black-haired girl wearing denim shorts was standing in the hallway.

"Huh? Perverts clearing the fields?"

Through the open door, Nishimiya Yuzuru quickly discovered Kiyono Makoto's presence.

Why is that guy in my sister's room?

Makoto Kiyono put down his phone and raised his hand to greet them:

"Yuzuru, good afternoon."

"snort."

Yuzuru Nishimiya gave a soft snort and turned to leave, but Shoko grabbed her wrist:

"Yuzuru, come in quickly..."

Chapter 178 Yuzuru: My weakness is already dead.

"...Yuzuru, come in first, let's talk."

Faced with his sister's gentle request, Nishimiya Yuzuru naturally had no way to refuse.

Once inside, Nishimiya Yuzuru crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, deliberately keeping his distance from Kiyono Makoto.

"Sister, why did you invite this guy into the house?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya deliberately tightened her small face, practically screaming "disgust" on it.

Kiyono Makoto smiled and looked over, showing no sign of anger.

"It seems that Yuzuru harbors a deep prejudice against me."
