The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Makoto Kiyono got up and walked to the bathroom door:

"I'm here."

Kato Megumi opened the door a crack and peeked out half of her pretty face: "Um... when I was drying my hair just now, I suddenly smelled a strange burning smell, and I was a little worried."

Is there a problem with the hair dryer?

Seino Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly:

"If it's convenient, I'll go in and take a look."

"It's alright, I'm already dressed in my pajamas." Kato Megumi opened the door, her hair still damp and full of moisture, her skin fair and rosy, smooth and delicate. "Kiyono-kun, come in."

"it is good."

Kiyono Makoto stepped into the bathroom, and the fresh scent of shampoo and shower gel mixed together immediately filled his nostrils, but a faint burnt smell was clearly mixed in with the fragrance.

"It definitely has a smell..."

Kiyono Makoto sniffed carefully:

Is that the smell of a hairdryer?

“That’s right.” Kato Megumi nodded slightly. “I unplugged it immediately after I noticed the smell.”

"Let me take a look."

Kiyono Makoto reached out and took the hair dryer, carefully inspected it, and found no burn marks. He then plugged it back in and turned it on.

Waaah~

A warm breeze blew steadily out.

“It doesn’t seem like there’s a problem.” Kiyono Makoto pondered for two seconds, then thought of a possibility: “If hair gets accidentally caught in the hairdryer, there’s a chance it will produce a burnt smell, which is actually the smell of burnt protein.”

"It's good that it's not broken." Kato Megumi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "That was a little scary just now."

"Here, you can continue drying your hair."

Kiyono Makoto handed over the hair dryer as he spoke.

"Thank you, Kiyono-kun..."

Kato Megumi reached out and took the hair dryer.

next second.

Snapped!

The hair dryer, which had been running steadily just moments before, suddenly emitted a dazzling blue arc of electricity.

"what……"

With the girl's scream, all the lights in the house suddenly went out.

"Be careful."

A second before the lights went out, Kiyono Makoto saw Kato Megumi lean back in tension. Now, with the power suddenly out, he couldn't see anything for a moment and could only instinctively reach out to help her up, but he didn't touch anyone. His fingertips only grasped a soft piece of fabric.

Fortunately, Kiyono Makoto reacted quickly, extending his other arm and successfully embracing the girl's soft body this time.

But Kiyono Makoto soon realized that the tactile feedback from his palm was wrong.

Something is definitely not right.

It wasn't the cool, silky feel of the fabric, but rather a soft, warm sensation, as delicate and silky as fine jade... like skin?

Not only that.

The palms were also filled with an incredible softness.

"...What is that?"

Kiyono Makoto didn't react for a moment and instinctively gripped her hand lightly.

"Hmm~"

In the darkness, a girl's soft, trembling moan suddenly rang out:

"Kiyono-kun...your hand..."

Kiyono Makoto then realized what was happening and quickly let go of his hand:

"Sorry, I couldn't see anything just now. I really didn't mean to."

Kato Megumi's voice quickly regained its composure, but if you listened carefully, you could still detect something unusual in the girl's voice:

“This sudden accident isn’t Kiyono-kun’s fault… Did Kiyono-kun have his phone? We can’t see anything right now, so restoring the lighting as soon as possible is more important.”

Kiyono Makoto quickly took out his phone from his pocket and turned on the flashlight function.

next second.

Her pajamas draped down, revealing her fair, white shoulders, and Kato's blushing face came into view.

Kiyono Makoto silently looked away:

"It seems there is indeed a problem with the hair dryer. It must have tripped due to a power outage... Kato, wait a moment, I'll go and turn the power back on."

Stepping out of the bathroom, Kiyono Makoto quickly realized what was happening.

The hair dryer malfunctioned, but it didn't shock me; it only shocked Megumi Kato.

In the chaos, I accidentally tore off Kato Megumi's pajamas... Could it be because of the "Strong Luck" keyword?

This guy is clearly a lucky pervert!

Composing himself, Kiyono Makoto held up his phone, located the electrical box, turned on the switch, and the lights came back on.

Turning back to the bathroom, Kato Megumi had already dressed in her pajamas, but the blush on her pretty face had not yet faded.

"The hairdryer is probably really broken." Kiyono Makoto opened the cabinet, took out a spare hairdryer, plugged it in, and said, "Shall we use this to dry our hair?"

"Um..." Kato Megumi covered her chest with her hands, turned her pretty face away, and asked softly, "I just got an electric shock, and my hand is still numb. Could you please help me dry my hair, Kiyono-kun?"

Once bitten, twice shy.

After being electrocuted, Kato Megumi will not dare to touch the hair dryer for a while.

"Leave it to me."

Seino Makoto, holding a hairdryer, stood behind Kato Megumi and turned it on again.

Waaah.

A hot wind howled out, blowing the girl's hair.

The scent of shampoo mixed with shower gel wafted into my nose, interspersed with a faint fragrance; in short, it smelled quite pleasant.

Kiyono Makoto shifted his gaze to the mirror.

The two people in the mirror stood together, and he was just a head taller than Kato Megumi. They looked surprisingly well-matched.

Kato Megumi seemed to sense something and happened to turn her head to look over.

Their eyes met in the mirror.

Kato, usually so calm and collected, showed a hint of shyness in her eyes. She silently turned her head away, then raised her right hand and subtly touched a strand of hair behind her ear...

Neither of them spoke; only a silent, subtle tension permeated the air.

Chapter 38 The Minotaur's Ecstasy

"My hair is dry."

Kiyono Makoto turned off the hairdryer and subconsciously rubbed the girl's head.

My freshly dried hair is fluffy and soft, with a faint fragrance, and feels very comfortable to the touch.

next second.

Their eyes met again in the mirror.

"Sorry, I didn't realize it at first."

Kiyono Makoto quickly raised his hands, admitting his mistake.

"It's okay, it's normal to get it on your head while blow-drying your hair." Kato Megumi's expression was normal, as if she didn't care about the head pat just now at all. Only the tips of her ears turned slightly red. Her tone was indifferent. "Kiyono-kun, you can go out first. I'll clean the bathroom."

“I’ll do it,” Kiyono Makoto shook his head. “Go drink some milk to calm your nerves.”

"Eh..."

"It's settled then. I can't let you do all the housework by yourself; I really feel bad about it."

"..."

Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips, looked up, and her eyes were like a lake shimmering in the afternoon light, clear and bright:

"Then I'll leave it to Kiyono-kun."

Kiyono Makoto casually said:

"There's too much moisture in the bathroom, and the hair dryer is prone to short circuits. I'll go outside to dry my hair from now on."

Kato Megumi blinked: "But it will cause a lot of hair loss..."

"I'll pick up the hair," Kiyono Makoto said decisively. "Safety first."

"……I see."

After watching Kato Megumi leave the bathroom, Kiyono Makoto quickly began cleaning.

First, there was hair in the sink and on the floor... I have to say, there was a lot of it.

A healthy human being naturally loses fifty to one hundred hairs every day, and even the cutest, softest girl is no exception.

After cleaning the bathroom, Seino Makoto threw his clothes into the washing machine and then returned to the living room.

"It's getting late. Let's hang the clothes out to dry tomorrow morning. Let's get some rest tonight."

"it is good."

Kato Megumi put down her phone and agreed.

The two went upstairs together, and after reaching the room door, Kato Megumi spoke softly, her tone natural:

"Goodnight, Kiyono-kun. Tomorrow is Monday, and I have to go to school, so I won't be playing games tonight."

Is it because of school tomorrow, or because of the accident in the bathroom just now?

Makoto Kiyono always felt that the latter was more likely.

No matter how nonchalant Kato may seem, she is still a girl and it's impossible for her to be completely indifferent.

Unfortunately, the girl's expression and tone were too indifferent, making it impossible to discern her true thoughts.

"Then get some rest, goodnight."

Kiyono Makoto nodded in acknowledgment and turned to return to his room.

Unable to fall asleep for a while, I opened the player forum and continued browsing.

"Critical hit, increased damage, bleed, petrification... these are all good affixes, but unfortunately I can't afford them, I absolutely can't afford them."

Kiyono Makoto was filled with regret.

No wonder players agree that 'you never have enough points,' because it's true.

"I can't afford to buy them anymore, but I can still plunder entries related to real-world items..."

Kiyono Makoto began to think seriously.

"There might be hidden connections between the entries... We need to think outside the box."

"For example, can [Photosynthesis] + [Energy Conversion] achieve unlimited mana and health regeneration?"

"Unfortunately, once an entry is added, it cannot be removed, making the cost of trial and error too high..."

After much deliberation, Kiyono Makoto still felt that the various toxin attributes in reality were the most suitable for plundering and adding to his exclusive weapon, which would allow him to quickly deal damage.

"Poison dart frogs, blue-ringed octopuses, cobras, pufferfish... we should be able to extract relevant terms from these animals."

"But apart from pufferfish, it is very difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with other creatures."

"Tomorrow I'll go to a large supermarket first to see what keywords can be generated from pufferfish. If the keywords are suitable, I'll buy two pufferfish for testing. We'll talk about other animals later..."
