The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

"Oh right, I also need to buy a few scratch-off lottery tickets."

“Selling gold directly is too risky and makes you an easy target for malicious people, but winning a scratch-off lottery ticket is not a problem.”

"Now that I have the [Strong Luck] attribute, even if I don't win the grand prize, I won't go home empty-handed, right?"

"..."

Before I knew it, drowsiness crept in.

Silent all night.

the next day.

Kiyono Makoto woke up on time, dressed neatly, and left the room, roused by his biological clock.

Click.

Just then, the door to the next room opened, and a cute girl with a bob haircut walked out.

"Good morning, Kato."

"Good morning, Kiyono-kun."

Kiyono Makoto's gaze fell on Kato Megumi's pretty face. He didn't see any dark circles under her eyes, so the girl had obviously had a good rest last night.

"Today is the last day. The hunting mark will soon disappear, and we can go home in peace tomorrow."

Kato Megumi paused slightly, her tone indifferent:

"I'm sorry to have caused you trouble these past few days."

"On the contrary, I feel that you worked harder, cleaning the house so clean that we can't go back to our pigsty now."

"A pigsty is too much... What would you like to eat for breakfast, Kiyono-kun?"

"Let's have omelet rice, it's simple and delicious."

"Okay, Kiyono-kun, go wash your face and brush your teeth first. I'll go prepare breakfast."

"..."

After breakfast, the two went to school together.

At the intersection in front of the tram stop, as far as the eye can see, there are dense crowds of pedestrians.

"There are so many people."

Kiyono Makoto clicked his tongue softly.

He usually makes a point of avoiding the morning rush hour, but today he was having breakfast at home and then had to wash the dishes, so he was bound to be a little slower getting out.

“The morning and evening rush hours are really terrifying.” Kato Megumi nodded in agreement. “My sister said she experienced the morning rush hour at Shinjuku Station before, and she was completely pushed along by the crowds, and she couldn’t stop.”

As they were talking, the green light came on.

The crowds at the intersection began to surge and flow.

Kiyono Makoto and Kato Megumi were walking side by side when a hurried office worker came up behind them and squeezed between them, almost knocking Kato Megumi over.

"Be careful."

Kiyono Makoto decisively reached out, grabbed the girl's soft hand, and forcefully pulled Kato Megumi to his side.

"call……"

Kato Megumi let out a soft sigh of relief and leaned against Kiyono Makoto's arm:

"Thank you, Kiyono-kun."

"There are too many people, let's be careful."

Kiyono Makoto grasped the girl's right hand and cautiously walked across the street.

Kato Megumi's expression was calm, her gaze slightly lowered, and then she quietly grasped Kiyono Makoto's hand, following quietly behind the boy.

"Finally here..."

After struggling through the crowd to the other side of the road, Kiyono Makoto breathed a sigh of relief and was about to let go when a screeching sound of brakes suddenly rang out beside him.

"Ok?"

Kiyono Makoto turned his head and looked over, and a boy riding a bicycle and wearing black-rimmed glasses came into view.

"Lun Ye?"

Kiyono Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly.

I don't know why, but I always seem to bump into Tomoya Aki unexpectedly.

"Oh, it's Aki-kun, good morning."

Kato Megumi's gaze was calm, and her tone was indifferent.

"Good morning..." Aki Tomoya stopped his bicycle, his gaze falling on the two's clasped hands. He pushed up his glasses, his smile slightly forced. "Kato-kun, didn't you say you had something important to do this weekend? Why are you going to school with Seino?"

Kato Megumi blinked and calmly stated the truth:

"Because I stayed at Kiyono-kun's house for the entire weekend."

"puff--"

Chapter 39 Eriri-sama, please give me your orders!

"puff--"

Aki Tomoya seemed to have suffered a fatal blow, raising his hand to cover his chest:

"Staying at a boy's house on weekends, isn't that the same as living together?!"

"Kato-kun's presence is so weak, she doesn't have a single friend at school, why is she suddenly living with someone else?!"

Aki Tomoya held his head in his hands, looking pained, and began to speak in a way that no one could understand.

"As the female lead, you should experience all sorts of special events first, and then unlock a special CG before the finale. There's no such thing as getting everything for free from the start!"

Kiyono Makoto: "..."

The special CG is only unlocked in the final episode?

Sorry, that kind of game no longer has a market.

Kato Megumi raised her right hand, casually brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, her tone still nonchalant: "Well, although what Aki-san said is true, I'm still angry... And it's not the kind of cohabitation Aki-san is imagining, it's just staying with someone."

Aki Tomoya's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked over:

"What's the reason for staying here?"

Kato Megumi replied calmly, "It's not convenient to say."

"So what is your relationship with Kiyono?"

"I don't know how to answer An Yi's question so suddenly..."

As Kato Megumi spoke, she looked up at Kiyono Makoto.

Kiyono Makoto instantly understood the meaning in the girl's eyes.

It's not that I don't know how to answer, but I want him to answer.

“Kato and I are friends,” Kiyono Makoto said. “For some special reasons, Kato has indeed been staying at my house for the past two days, but it’s not the kind of cohabitation that Tomoya is imagining. Please keep this a secret, as it would cause Kato unnecessary trouble if it got out.”

"Don't worry, I definitely won't go around telling everyone."

Without further ado, Aki Tomo agreed immediately.

next second.

Snapped!

Aki Tomoya clasped his hands together, his expression solemn:

"Kato-san, since you and Kiyono aren't dating, please keep your distance from now on. That's basic etiquette for a female lead!"

As a die-hard anime and manga enthusiast, Aki Tomoya often speaks without regard for the occasion or atmosphere.

"I'm sorry, how I get along with my friends is my own business, it has nothing to do with Aki-kun." Kato Megumi said calmly, reaching out to gently tug at Kiyono Makoto's sleeve. "Kiyono-kun, the train is here, let's get on... Goodbye, Aki-kun."

Kiyono Makoto greeted them, "Rinya, we're leaving now."

"..."

Aki Tomoya looked bewildered as he watched Kiyono Makoto and Kato Megumi board the train together.

The female lead, who was supposed to be the lead actress, just abandoned me and left with other guys?

not like this!

The script shouldn't be like this!

A day passed quickly.

7 PM.

Makoto Kiyono and Megumi Kato went to the park together to meet up with their senior and Eriri, and continued their run.

Unfortunately, after only two laps, raindrops suddenly began to fall from the sky.

"Hey, it's raining?"

Eriri's eyes lit up, she put her hands above her head, her pretty face full of joy:

"That's enough for today, let's go home."

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms over her chest, closed her right eye, and tilted her head slightly to look over:

"Sawamura-kun can finally skip training openly and legitimately."

Eriri, of course, refused to admit it: "Don't underestimate me, buddy. I wouldn't have come to the park if I didn't want to run."

"It's okay to lie to others, but it's wrong to lie to yourself."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha! You better stop this now!"

"..."

“You two can keep arguing.” Kiyono Makoto simply walked over to Kato’s side. “Let’s go to the shopping mall across the street to take shelter from the rain.”

"Okay."

Kato Megumi put away her phone and followed.

"Hey, wait for me."

Eriri covered her forehead with her hand and hurriedly chased after her.

The group quickly left the park and went into a shopping mall across the street to take shelter from the rain.

After entering, the three girls went to the restroom together, while Kiyono Makoto went to the seafood section alone.

"...Found it."

In the aquarium, several pufferfish swimming around came into view.

Kiyono Makoto stared intently as he observed the various pufferfish. Above each pufferfish appeared a phrase: "The ultimate delicacy in the world." However, only one possessed the "poison of pufferfish."

"Huh? What's going on?"

After a moment's thought, Kiyono Makoto quickly understood.

The scientific community has reached a consensus that pufferfish itself does not produce toxins; pufferfish toxins are a product of the combined effects of food and microorganisms. Therefore, artificially farmed pufferfish are generally non-toxic.

That poisonous pufferfish may have come from the wild, or it may have had a special constitution.

"I'm sorry, but I'll choose you."

While apologizing in his heart, Kiyono Makoto bought the poisonous pufferfish.

The staff in the seafood section were very dedicated and offered to help with the process free of charge, since most people can't handle pufferfish properly.

Makoto Kiyono did not refuse, but made a request, saying that he wanted to film a video with the pufferfish as a souvenir.

Holding the plump pufferfish in his hand, Makoto Kiyono filmed the scene while silently chanting in his mind:

"Plundering entries".

As the raid began, the pufferfish seemed to sense the danger and frantically twisted its body, but unfortunately it could not break free at all.
