The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Eriri knew the situation was critical. In order not to cause trouble for Kiyono Makoto, she bit her lower lip tightly and suppressed her shame. Instead, she raised her arms and hugged Kiyono's neck tightly.

"Hold on tight."

Kiyono Makoto took a long stride and sprinted away.

Splash!

The sea of ​​blood behind them quickly swept through the entire passage, and the strong stench of blood hit them, making their hair stand on end.

Fortunately, Makoto Kiyono reacted quickly and decisively, and instead of making a last-second escape attempt, he steadily ran through the passage.

next second.

The roar behind us suddenly disappeared.

"Huh...huh..."

Kiyono Makoto was breathing heavily and panting. Although it was only a short 20 meters, it had consumed a lot of his strength.

His hot breath fell on Eriri's neck. Eriri, who had never been so intimate with a boy before, felt her face burning, her neck and earlobes turning pink, and her voice trembled slightly:

"Idiot... Put me down right now... Waaah..."

While panting, Kiyono Makoto put Takumi down from his arms, feeling sore all over, and couldn't help but complain:

"Sawamura-kun...you should lose weight."

"what?!"

Eriri, clutching her chest, leaned against the wall, feeling both ashamed and angry upon hearing this, her little tiger teeth gleaming coldly at the corners of her mouth:

"I only weigh 45 kilograms, that's not heavy at all! You're already exhausted, it's obvious you're too weak!"

Chapter 5 What can relieve sorrow? Only a notebook.

"I'm exhausted. Let me rest for a while before continuing."

Kiyono Makoto plopped down and began to rest.

"Thank you so much for earlier."

Eriri sat down next to Makoto Kiyono with her arms wrapped around her knees, turned her pretty face away, and stammered a soft thank you.

Kiyono Makoto turned his head to look over:

"I haven't had dinner yet, and I'm so hungry... Does Sawamura-kun have anything to eat?"

"Hmm, let me look for it..."

Eriri searched her clothes and finally found an ordinary lollipop in her pocket.

"That's all... Just call me Eriri-kun."

We came out to buy notebooks, not for a hiking trip or picnic, so it's normal that we didn't have any food.

Even the lollipop in her pocket was a snack that Eriri accidentally slipped into her pocket while drawing her notebook.

Makoto Kiyono made the following suggestion:

"How about we split it in half?"

"what?"

Eriri looked over speechlessly:

"You idiot, Seino, how are you going to split a lollipop in half?"

Kiyono Makoto quickly replied:

"You misspoke, it should be one person, one bite."

"I do not want it!"

Eriri blushed and glared at her shyly.

If each person takes a bite, wouldn't that become an indirect kiss?

Absolutely not!

"Here you go, take it now!"

Eriri threw the lollipop at her.

"Alright...then I won't stand on ceremony."

Kiyono Makoto unwrapped the lollipop, put it in his mouth, and the sweetness quickly calmed the restlessness in his brain.

However, he didn't finish it all at once. After eating half of it and feeling a sense of pleasure, he wrapped the lollipop back up with the candy wrapper.

What are you doing?

Eriri tilted her head and looked over.

"Keep it for later." Kiyono Makoto stood up, dusted himself off, and said, "It might come in handy... Let's keep going."

"..."

A moment later.

The two returned to Exit Zero.

"H-How could this happen..."

Eriri's pretty face turned pale; she was deeply shocked, and her voice trembled slightly.

"How did we end up back here again?"

Seino Makoto took a deep breath and frowned:

“We missed an anomaly… which is very likely an anomaly that we failed to detect before.”

"..."

Despite her determination to clear the level as quickly as possible, Eriri was forced to return to Exit Zero twice in a row, which dealt a huge blow to her. Coupled with the pain in her feet, mental exhaustion, and stress, Eriri's sanity dropped rapidly, and she soon reached a dangerous critical point.

"Mother……"

Eriri, who was being helped forward by Kiyono, suddenly turned her head, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Someone called you?"

Makoto Kiyono quickly frowned:

"I didn't hear any shouts."

"It's Mom's voice, so clear." Eriri was dizzy, her vision blurry. "It's right behind us... I... I need to find Mom."

"Don't move."

Kiyono Makoto listened intently, but the subway passage was deathly silent; there was absolutely no sound. He then glanced at Takumi, whose expression had become somewhat unnatural, and his heart sank slightly.

"Eri-kun, you must be hallucinating."

"W-what... How could it be a hallucination? It was so clear..."

Eriri gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, subconsciously denying it.

“This is a dungeon, not the real world,” Kiyono Makoto said bluntly. “Your mother definitely won’t be here.”

"But……"

"No buts."

Kiyono Makoto made a quick decision: "Let's not go anymore, let's sit down and rest for a while."

"..."

Eriri sat down on the ground, burying her face in her knees. She was visibly depressed and didn't even want to talk anymore.

"That won't work."

Kiyono Makoto frowned, recalling the contents of the intelligence report.

A constantly decreasing sanity level will attract the gaze of an indescribable being, which is dangerous no matter how you look at it.

Then the problem is coming.

How can I quickly increase Eriri's sanity level?

After thinking for a few seconds, Kiyono's gaze shifted and landed on the shopping bag next to Eriri's hand.

"You are the one."

Kiyono Makoto bent down, took the shopping bag, tore it open, and took out the comics inside.

"Eri-kun, look at the doujinshi."

"Eh... "The Fall of the Top Student"?"

Eriri, feeling dejected, looked up and, upon seeing the pitiful-looking girl with long, straight black hair on the cover, her pretty face immediately flushed red:

"W-Why do you have to watch this kind of thing?!"

"Do you remember the second piece of information I told you?"

Seino Makoto said confidently:

"You're clearly not doing well right now; you need to increase your sanity as soon as possible."

Eriri covered her skirt with both hands, her voice filled with shame:

"Then we don't need to look at the notebook, right?"

Seino Makoto countered with:

"Then tell me how to improve your rationality?"

Yinglili: "..."

My head is spinning right now, and I really can't think of a good solution.

"Hurry up and look at the book." Kiyono Makoto moved closer to Eriri. "Safety first, put embarrassment aside for now."

"...How could that be done so easily!"

Eriri hesitated for a few seconds before finally looking at the notebook with a flushed face.

Hold on!

Don't panic!

It's just looking at doujinshi... I'm a doujinshi artist, this is child's play for me!

Moreover, reading doujinshi is for survival, which is a very serious and proper matter!

The subway passage fell silent, with only the rustling sound of notebook pages turning.

After what seemed like an eternity, I finally finished reading the book.

Snapped.

Kiyono Makoto closed the colored notebook in his hand and turned to look at the girl beside him with a blushing face:

"how do you feel?"

Eriri's head was spinning, and upon hearing this, she subconsciously put herself in the shoes of a doujinshi artist: "The art style is very delicate, but the plot is a bit stiff and the details are not rich enough. Overall, I can only give it a decent rating; it's still a bit far from being a top-tier work..."

Kiyono Makoto slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to resist making a sarcastic remark:

"Are you the legendary sharp commentary blogger?"

"Huh?"

"I'm asking if you're still experiencing auditory or visual hallucinations."

Eriri blinked, her pretty face instantly turning bright red:

"You...you...you should at least ask clearly, you idiot!"

“I asked very clearly.” Kiyono Makoto looked over speechlessly. “It’s you who’s giving weird answers.”

"...No way!"

Eriri turned her pretty face away in embarrassment, her blonde hair covering her ears, revealing only a hint of her blushing earlobes:

"I can't hear my mother's voice anymore..."
