The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Kato Megumi blinked her bright eyes, then gently pursed her pink lips, not refusing, and followed with light steps.

Twenty minutes later.

The two stopped in front of a detached house.

Kiyono Makoto took out his key and opened the door: "Kato-kun, please come in."

"Sorry to bother you."

Kato Megumi stepped into the entryway.

Kiyono Makoto bent down and took out a pair of slippers: "I didn't prepare in advance, so I only have men's slippers. You can make do with these for now, and I'll buy new slippers later."

"It's okay."

Kato Megumi remained calm as she put on the men's slippers. Although they were slightly ill-fitting, the contrast between her jade-like feet encased in black stockings and the obviously oversized slippers created a strangely endearing effect.

"Hmm... the room is very clean."

Kato Megumi looked around curiously.

"There's no need to flatter me." Kiyono Makoto shook his head.

He doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness and doesn't have strict requirements for cleanliness and tidiness. His room is just an ordinary single guy's room. It's not dirty or messy, but it's not exactly clean either.

"It's the truth." Kato Megumi tilted her head and looked over, her tone indifferent. "I visited my cousin's house before and saw his room. It was super messy inside. Compared to that, Kiyono-kun's house is indeed very nice."

"I'll tidy up tonight... Let me show you the rooms upstairs first."

Kiyono Makoto, carrying a suitcase, led Kato Megumi up to the second floor:

"There's a bathroom at the end of the corridor on the second floor, and there's one on the first floor too. You can use both. I'll stay in the bedroom on the left, and Kato will stay in the bedroom on the right for now. Is that alright?"

"No problem," Kato Megumi said softly. "Thank you, Kiyono-kun."

After putting their luggage away, the two went downstairs together.

Just as Kiyono Makoto was about to have a drink, the girl's calm and pleasant voice rang out:

"Kiyono-kun, can I go to the supermarket with you?"

"I just checked the fridge, and it only has bento boxes, no other ingredients. Shall we go buy some?"

"When two people live together, it's definitely more cost-effective to cook for each other."

and many more.

When did you see the refrigerator? I have no recollection of it at all.

"When Kiyono-kun went to the restroom just now," Kato Megumi replied casually, as if she could read minds, "I also went to check on the kitchen."

Kiyono Makoto slightly twitched the corner of his mouth:

"Let's go, I'll take you to the supermarket to familiarize yourself with the way."

"..."

Upon arriving at the convenience store, Kiyono Makoto was in charge of pushing the cart, while Kato Megumi was in charge of purchasing groceries. During the trip, she also bought a pair of pink bunny slippers, which were not entirely without merit, but were certainly quite ordinary.

After buying the ingredients and returning home, Kato Megumi immediately went into the kitchen to get busy.

"Shall I help?"

Kiyono Makoto walked to the kitchen door and asked if he needed any help.

“No need. It would be too much trouble for Kiyono-kun to stay here so abruptly. I will take care of Kiyono-kun’s daily life for the next few days.” Kato Megumi said calmly. “Kiyono-kun just needs to wait for meals.”

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

You're not letting me do anything? You're going to turn me into a useless person!

After calming himself down, Kiyono Makoto decisively started exercising in the living room.

To be fair, suddenly increasing your stats before entering a dungeon has many drawbacks. For example, it's difficult to adapt to the sudden increase in power, and you might fail at crucial moments.

The reason why Makoto Kiyono retained his points instead of immediately adding them after clearing the game was not because he had no plan, but because he was waiting—waiting for the next superpower to be refreshed.

There's a consensus among players that points are never enough, and haphazardly upgrading things is a huge waste. To maximize the benefits of points, it's best to focus on core abilities.

Makoto Kiyono's idea was simple: wait until he drew superpowers again, and then choose to strengthen them in a targeted way. Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes, and he was accidentally pulled into a real-world scenario.

"I have fully mastered the enhanced power..."

After completing two hundred one-handed push-ups, Kiyono Makoto wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Wait two more days, and I can draw superpowers again."

"I'd trade my friend's 30 years of single life for a dazzling superpower."

"Kyono-kun~"

Kato Megumi, wearing a home apron, peeked out with her pretty face:

"You can wash your hands and eat now."

Chapter 33 Eriri: I'm sorry, I'm just a nobody.

After dinner.

Before we knew it, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

"Kato, shall we go to the park?"

Makoto Kiyono offered his suggestion.

"Eh... what are you doing at the park, Kiyono-kun?"

Kato Megumi tilted her head in confusion.

"I've made plans to go running and exercise with someone else." Kiyono Makoto's expression was calm, without any guilt. "I'm a little worried about leaving you home alone, so it would be best if you went with me."

Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips, her tone slightly hesitant:

"I didn't bring my running shoes..."

"It's okay, it's fine if you don't run. You can just sit over there and wait for me."

"Okay."

Twenty minutes later.

Street corner park.

Kiyono Makoto led Kato Megumi into the park, his gaze quickly settling on two girls not far away.

On the left is a tall girl with long, straight black hair, wearing pantyhose and a white headband.

The girl on the right is petite, with two pigtails tied with black ribbons, her golden hair shining brightly under the lights.

"Eh... is it Kasumigaoka-senpai and Sawamura-kun?"

Kato Megumi's voice was slightly surprised.

Last week, she received an invitation from Aki Tomoya to form a game club together, and during that time she met her senior and Eriri, so she could naturally recognize them at a glance.

"Eri, good evening, senpai."

Kiyono Makoto raised his hand in greeting.

"You finally arrived." Eriri crossed her arms and stood up from the bench, her gaze quickly falling on Kato Megumi. Her eyes widened in surprise. "Eh, the girl you said encountered the monster, could it be Kato-san?"

Before coming over, Makoto Kiyono sent a message briefly explaining the situation.

Kiyono Makoto nodded: "Correct answer."

"Isn't this a bit too much of a coincidence?"

Eriri frowned slightly and couldn't help but complain:

"First it was me, then Kasumigaoka Utaha, and now it's Kato-kun. What happened to the saying that Tokyo is big?"

"So many unexpected events in such a short time, it feels like something out of a light novel... You wouldn't happen to be the protagonist of some third-rate light novel, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto retorted:

"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to meet any of them."

No need for a long period of good fortune; just two and a half years of secret practice will unlock hundreds of superpowers, at which point you can probably easily conquer Paradise.

"Well, enough chit-chat." Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, her hair tied into a neat ponytail for running, but she still had her white headband on. Her tone was still lazy. "Junior, let's start running and working out."

Makoto Kiyono looked at the bob-haired girl beside him:

"Kato, you can just rest over there."

"it is good."

Kato Megumi nodded slightly, covered her skirt, sat down on the bench, and then quietly started playing on her phone.

After a quick warm-up, the three of them officially began their running workout.

Senior had already enhanced her physical attributes, and Kiyono Makoto's physical abilities were twice that of an average person, so the two of them ran with ease. Eriri, on the other hand, had been hoarding her points and hadn't received any enhancements to her physical abilities, so she quickly ran out of steam.

"Huh...huh..."

On the empty track, the girl's distressed breathing sounded particularly rapid.

One lap of the track is a standard 400 meters. Eriri barely made it through the first lap, swayed precariously in the second lap, and by the third lap, she was panting heavily, her arms hanging limply at her sides.

From a distance, she looks like a starving girl who has emerged from a famine, as if she is about to fall down at any moment.

"Sawamura-kun, I've already overtaken you by a whole lap."

Kasumigaoka Utaha caught up from behind, her tone unusually relaxed:

"If you race against a tortoise, the tortoise will win."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha..."

"If Sawamura-kun were the editor who pushes me to submit my work, I would never face a deadline."

"Ugh! You better stop this already!"

Eriri clenched her fists and suddenly accelerated.

Unfortunately, Eriri ran less than fifty meters before she was completely exhausted again, this time with no strength left.

"It's really... I can't take it anymore..."

Eriri stopped, panting, and braced herself on her knees.

"If I keep running... huff... I feel like I'm going to die... huff..."

The girl's forehead was already wet with sweat, and a few strands of golden hair clung to her cheeks, making her look extremely disheveled.

Kiyono Makoto walked by, his breathing unusually steady:

"Just hold on a little longer. Once you break through a certain limit, your body will be able to hold on."

"It's impossible. There's no way you could do something like that, no matter how hard you try."

"Then let's enhance the attributes in advance."

Seino Makoto reminded him from the side:

"It is not advisable to suddenly enhance your abilities before entering a dungeon, as it is difficult to control the surge in power in a short period of time. The same applies to learning skills."

"Unlocking skills is just the beginning; you still need to practice to improve your skill level."

"Therefore, whether it's strengthening yourself or learning skills, you should do it as soon as possible and not put it off until the last minute."

"Shut up..."

Eriri bit her lower lip lightly, hummed softly, and turned her pretty face away.

Of course she knew these common-sense facts.

But only after forming a team will that idiot Kiyono be willing to lend her points, and to form a team, she has to call him "daddy"... She's not a shameless woman like Kasumigaoka Utaha, how could she possibly call a boy her own age that kind of title!

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, her gaze suddenly shifting, a playful smile curving her lips:

"Sawamura-kun, how about letting my junior help with the treatment?"

"Ok?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow and looked over.
