The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Eriri nodded seriously: "I understand."

"Find the office and see if there's a map inside."

Kiyono Makoto walked ahead, clearing the way.

Eriri followed cautiously and warily behind Kiyono Makoto.

The two continued walking and soon found the office.

Kiyono Makoto quietly pushed open the door and entered. After confirming that it was safe, he began to search for the map with Eriri.

"Kiyono, I found it."

Eriri's surprised voice rang out quickly.

"Right in this drawer, there's a standard map of the town, like something out of a geography teacher's desk."

"Well done."

Kiyono Makoto walked over to Takumi's side and looked down at the map.

The map is yellowish, clearly indicating its age. It was printed in the 1960s, and the town's name is clearly 'Rongzhiqiu', surrounded by mountains.

Although the town is small, it has everything you need, including a shrine, hospital, temple, school, and more.

"Great, we got the map."

Kiyono Makoto opened the team channel and sent a message to Kasumigaoka Utaha:

"Senior, we've found the map. Are there any landmarks around you?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "I just left the house and saw a torii gate in the mist. It must be around the shrine."

Makoto Kiyono quickly located the shrine on the map:

"There's only one shrine in the town, so we can confirm where you are, Senpai. Don't move. Eriri and I will get there as soon as possible."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "..."

End the chat.

Makoto Kiyono and Eriri went out together.

Just as he stepped out the door, Kiyono Makoto suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Huh?"

Caught off guard, Eriri instinctively stepped back, her back slamming directly into the door.

boom.

A soft sound followed.

"What's wrong……"

Eriri was about to speak when she saw Kiyono Makoto suddenly lean forward and pin her against the door.

Huh?!

Eriri's pretty face flushed rapidly.

What is that idiot Seino doing?

Is that a wall slam?

It must be!

Look at the situation, you idiot! This is a dangerous dungeon, why would you be in the mood to do that kind of thing?!

Besides, we're just teammates, so we won't let you do whatever you want!

next second.

Kiyono Makoto quickly reached out and wrapped his arm around the girl's soft, slender waist.

"Well--"

A shiver, like being electrocuted, crept over Eriri, causing her to involuntarily tense up, her eyes filled with panic and tension.

"No, you can't..."

next second.

Eriri felt a sudden dizziness and was rolled around twice by Kiyono Makoto.

at the same time.

Boom!

A piercing thud suddenly rang out.

Eriri looked over in a daze and saw a rusty dagger that had appeared on the door at some point, deeply embedded in the door panel, its end still trembling slightly.

"Hey, someone's attacking?!"

Eriri quickly opened her eyes wide and turned to look. She saw a girl in a JK uniform walking out of the mist not far away.

"Not a player... a monster from Silent Hill."

Kiyono Makoto narrowed his eyes.

The monster JK emerged from the mist with an extremely awkward posture, as if she were a puppet being pulled by invisible threads.

Click, click.

When the other person walks, it's as if you can hear the sound of their joints and bones grinding together.

Strangely, the monster JK was not slow; at least faster than Eriri when running. It charged forward in a twisting, abnormal running posture, much like an aberrant species.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Kiyono Makoto knelt on the ground and decisively took out a rapid-fire water gun.

"Huh?"

Eriri stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the 'toy' in Kiyono Makoto's hand.

It looks like a water gun?

wrong!

The art style is completely wrong!

next second.

Kiyono Makoto decisively pulled the trigger.

Puff puff puff puff puff—

After adding the attack speed attribute, the attack speed doubled, and countless water bullets flew out.

The monster JK clearly didn't have much intelligence, and couldn't even dodge. It was hit by all the hits immediately, and its whole body trembled as if it had been electrocuted, and it fell down directly.

[Critical hit triggered...]

[Toxin has been triggered...]

Dizziness has been triggered...

Various prompts appeared before Kiyono Makoto's eyes. The probability of triggering various affixes that were originally low-probability events increased significantly under the bonus of the [Strong Luck] attribute.

The monster JK's body writhed and struggled like a fish thrown ashore, but with all the negative statuses stacked up, it couldn't get up at all. Its invisible health bar was quickly emptied and it soon disappeared, leaving only a black mark in place.

You have eliminated the lingering resentment and gained fifty points.

"It's done."

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath, quite satisfied with the results of his first practical battle.

With the combination of various attributes, the originally useless weapon undergoes a qualitative change, and can even achieve an instant kill effect.

"Wait, is that all?"

Eriri's eyes widened, her pretty face filled with disbelief.

A while ago, when we were all doing the beginner's trial together, Qingye was just an ordinary person who would get out of breath after running a few steps. Now, he can kill monsters in Silent Hill with a weird weapon. The change is too big!

Kiyono Makoto collected all the exclusive weapons, hands in his pockets:

"A scholar who has been away for three days should be looked at with new eyes; I am no longer the person I used to be."

Yinglili: "..."

Damn it! I fell for this guy's trick!

"It's a pity there were no drops." After inspecting the area, Kiyono Makoto quickly shook his head regretfully, then looked at Eriri with a serious expression. "The fog is too obstructing; we can't see the monsters at all. Being ambushed is extremely dangerous... Eriri, can you use your ability to explore the environment?"

Chapter 44 The Useless Mage Eriri

"I'll give it a try."

Eriri's eyes lit up, and an expectant look appeared on her pretty face:

"We don't know how good the skills are yet."

Eriri had only hastily purchased the skills before the dungeon started, leaving no time to practice. She had actually wanted to try them for a while, but since she had just entered the dungeon and the situation was still unclear, she didn't act rashly.

Since it was Kiyono Makoto who brought it up, Eriri naturally wouldn't refuse.

"I feel like I can draw anything, but the more powerful the drawing, the more mental energy it consumes..."

"I understand, it's what's called mana."

"Pretty much... You don't need a paintbrush or a canvas to draw. Just find a flat surface and draw with your fingers."

As Eriri spoke, she turned her head to look at the wall, and a look of disgust quickly appeared on her pretty face:

"Ugh, the wall is so dirty."

The school hadn't been cleaned in ages; it was in disrepair, and even had a faint mold growing on the walls, making one feel uncomfortable.

Eriri's gaze shifted, her azure eyes landing on Kiyono Makoto, and she said in a clear voice:

"Kiyono, lend me your body for a moment."

Kiyono Makoto said expressionlessly, "If the genders were reversed, your behavior would constitute harassment."

"Stop nagging." Eriri puffed out her pink cheeks slightly, stretched out her right hand, and pointed her fingertips at Seino Makoto's chest. "The walls are so dirty, I don't want to touch them at all. I'm just using you as a tablet for a bit."

As she spoke, the girl's slender index finger quickly began to draw on Kiyono Makoto's chest.

Not long after.

A round, cute little animal suddenly flew out of thin air.

"Is that a sparrow?" Makoto Kiyono looked at the bird that had landed on Eriri's head and couldn't help but complain. "And why is it drawn in an anime style?"

Eriri blushed slightly and muttered to herself:

"How should I know... Anyway, this is what it looks like when it's drawn."

"Okay, art style doesn't matter." Kiyono Makoto looked over curiously, "What abilities does this sparrow have?"

Eriri's eyes brightened instantly:

"I can control this sparrow with my mind, making it scout ahead, or dive-bomb and perish together with the enemy."

"What about the damage?"

"...I don't know."

Makoto Kiyono hit the nail on the head, asking the key question:

"Can we share the view?"

“No problem.” Eriri pointed. “Chirp, fly over there.”

The round sparrow suddenly took flight and quickly disappeared into the thick fog, but then Eriri frowned.

"Something's wrong... the shared field of vision suddenly disappeared."

“It must be related to fog, and this is clearly not ordinary fog.” Kiyono Makoto didn’t dwell on it and looked at Takumi expectantly, “Could you draw some weapons? Like various firearms.”

To be honest, firearms are the real weapons during the beginner phase. They might not be very effective against monsters, but they are extremely useful against ordinary players.

"I'll give it a try..."
