The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

The contract scroll moved automatically without wind, floating into the air. An invisible flaming pen danced in the air, writing Eriri's name on the scroll.

hum~

The park's cold, ruthless voice echoed in Kiyono Makoto's mind:

Congratulations, you have recruited your second full-time crew member.

As the captain, you receive an additional 10% bonus to the maximum attribute of this crew member.

Kiyono Makoto opened the character panel and quickly discovered that his mental attribute had been additionally boosted.

"Okay, Eriri, like Senpai, has the strongest attribute in spirit."

Kiyono Makoto glanced at it briefly and didn't take it to heart.

In order to save money to buy skills, Eriri has not strengthened her attributes. She has only been running and exercising for a few days, and her attributes have not improved at all. This little bit of bonus is negligible.

"I received a team formation notification."

Eriri's eyes lit up, and a sense of security quickly returned.

Having cleared the game together, Eriri felt exceptionally at ease as long as she was by Kiyono Makoto's side, even if she didn't want to admit it.

"You said before that you would lend me points to buy skills after we successfully formed a team." Eriri looked up expectantly, her eyes sparkling, her blush still fresh. "Keep your word, hurry up and lend me the points."

Kiyono Makoto nodded and lent Eriri the points he had previously reserved:

"Pay me back double when the time comes."

"Huh? You're a vampire?!"

"A capitalist's daughter has no right to judge others."

"I'm not a capitalist!"

"..."

After the points were credited to her account, Eriri quickly opened the Paradise Shop and found the skill she had long desired:

"【Ma Liang and His Magic Paintbrush】...You're the one!"

Purchase confirmed!

As they were talking, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi quickly arrived.

"Junior, sir~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and glanced at Eriri, who was beaming with excitement, and quickly understood:

"Tsk~ It seems that this so-called 'unyielding young lady' is just a master of empty talk."

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Eriri decisively denied it three times in a row. As long as she wasn't caught red-handed, she could pretend it never happened. "Without evidence, don't slander me! Besides, you did shout it!"

“I admit I shouted it.” Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, her eyes filled with disdain. “Unlike someone else, who even deceives herself. How pathetic.”

"Ahhh, Kasumigaoka Utaha!"

"..."

Ignoring the two bickering girls, Kiyono Makoto quickly walked to Kato Megumi's side, his expression serious.

"Kato, there's no time to explain, call him Dad."

Kato Megumi: "..."

Chapter 41 Silent Hill Version: Search and Crackdown

"...Kiyono-kun suddenly made such an unreasonable request. Even I would be angry."

Kato Megumi's expression was calm, but the corners of her lips were clearly pursed down, indicating that she was genuinely angry.

"Ok?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head and looked over upon hearing this:

"Kato...is also a player?"

“It wasn’t before, but it will be soon,” Kiyono Makoto explained. “Kato just received a notification from the park.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes upon hearing this:

"I see. Kato-kun is really unlucky. I suspect that any girl who gets close to my junior will encounter danger."

“That’s right.” Eriri nodded in agreement, holding the notebook in both hands. “If we hadn’t met Kiyono that day, perhaps none of this would have happened.”

Kiyono Makoto said expressionlessly, "Slander? You are slandering me."

"whispering sound."

Eriri gave a soft snort and turned her pretty face away.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Kato, her tone serious:

"Kato, you've been caught up in a very dangerous supernatural event. There's no time to explain the details, but if you want to survive, you'd better do what your junior says."

"...Kasumigaoka-senpai looks so serious."

Kato Megumi pursed her pink lips, realizing the seriousness of the problem:

"So, when Kiyono-kun suddenly asked me to call him that, he wasn't just teasing me?"

Kiyono Makoto pointed to Eriri beside him: "Eri just said that if I play pranks on people, I probably won't see the sun tomorrow."

"what?"

Eriri's little fangs peeked out from the corner of her mouth, and her twin tails lashed out:

"You idiot, Seino! I already told you I didn't say that!"

Kiyono Makoto reached out and grabbed, and the captain's contract appeared out of thin air. Then he extended his right hand to Kato Megumi:

"...Be my daughter!"

Kato Megumi blinked her bright eyes and responded softly:

"...Adosan."

However, the scroll remained silent and unchanged.

"what happened?"

Kiyono Makoto frowned.

Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly thought of a possibility and whispered:

"Perhaps it's because Kato isn't a regular player, so he can't team up?"

at the same time.

Shopping mall game area.

boom!

A scarred young man with a sinister appearance suddenly punched the game console in front of him, smashing it to pieces, and countless cracks spread across the screen:

"Damn it, I was just trying to hunt down that girl, but I accidentally triggered a real-world scenario instead. What bad luck!"

"This gentleman..."

A staff member nearby saw the situation and instinctively wanted to step forward to negotiate.

"roll!"

The scarred youth suddenly turned his head, his eyes subtly turning bloodshot, and the sound he made resembled the low growl of a wild beast.

The female staff member felt her whole body stiffen, her hair stood on end, and she was so frightened that she forgot to breathe and dared not take another step forward.

Other corners of the mall.

A gray-haired girl wearing a white lab coat and black-rimmed glasses, with a voluptuous figure, was in the restroom, her brows slightly furrowed.

"The real-world copy... the plan has been disrupted."

the other side.

A gentle-looking young woman suddenly stopped in her tracks, her body trembling slightly with nervousness.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

The short-haired girl next to him looked up in confusion.

The long-haired girl took a deep breath, then raised her head, a gentle smile as always appearing on her pretty face. She gestured in sign language:

"Yuzuru... I need to go to the restroom. You go and have your milk tea first."

After giving her instructions, the girl quickly turned around and headed to the restroom.

Finding an empty cubicle, the long-haired girl quickly entered, then bit her lower lip, closed her eyes, and silently prayed.

"The countdown is about to end."

Kiyono Makoto extended his right hand and grasped Kato Megumi's soft hand.

Senior and Eriri are both professional players, while Kato is a complete novice, which is the most worrying thing.

"..."

Kato Megumi's expression remained calm, then she quietly shook hands with him.

next second.

The countdown has reached zero.

A sudden wave of dizziness washed over me.

Kiyono Makoto suddenly opened his eyes and found himself in a dilapidated classroom. The air was filled with a faint musty smell, and the classroom was dimly lit, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or evening.

Beside him, a blonde girl lay unconscious on her desk. The girl's profile was delicate and cute, only the size of a palm; it was Eriri.

"Neither my senior nor Kato are around..."

Kiyono Makoto quickly looked around but didn't see his senior or Kato, and his heart sank slightly.

Obviously, everyone entered the instance from different locations.

"Eri, wake up."

Kiyono Makoto stood up and gently patted the girl beside him.

"Well……"

Eriri groggily opened her eyes, and after seeing the unfamiliar classroom in front of her, the confusion in her eyes quickly disappeared:

"Have we already entered the instance?"

"Yes."

Eriri quickly sat up straight, nervously looking around: "Where are that woman and Kato-kun?"

Kiyono Makoto shook his head: "I didn't see it. It seems that we are the only ones who arrived at the same place."

"Wait, why is there such a thick fog outside?"

Eriri opened her eyes wide and looked out the window. Through the half-open window, she could see that the outside was filled with thick white fog, and she could vaguely see dark shadows moving about.

"Such thick fog... Could it be Silent Hill?"

Kiyono Makoto looked over expressionlessly: "Don't jinx it."

"Tch, I was just saying it offhand," Eriri retorted instinctively. "We're just new players, how could we possibly encounter such a terrifying dungeon?"

The words had barely left his lips when the amusement park's cold voice suddenly echoed in their minds:

[All players have been detected to be awake; the dungeon is now open.]

[Current Dungeon: Silent Hill F]

[Instance Type: Chaos]

[Dungeon Difficulty: Normal]

Main Quest: Escape the Town

[Mission Details: Special items of varying value are scattered throughout the town. You must collect special items worth at least 1,000 points to escape the town. After leaving the instance, the special items will be exchanged for Paradise Universal Points.]

There are two evacuation points: the town's shrine and the bridge on the west side of the town.
