The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

"Kato-kun, what are the contents of the Destiny Ritual?"

Rio Futaba took out her notebook, ready to record data:

"Still, a hug?"

"no......"

Kato Megumi gently shook her head, her pink lips unconsciously pursing. "It's a kiss."

"ha?"

Eriri's twin tails trembled, and she opened her eyes wide to look over:

What did Kato just say?

There's no time left.

Kato Megumi quickly looked up at Kiyono Makoto, "Kiyono-kun... bend over a little."

"...Please."

Kiyono Makoto quickly bent down.

In the previous battle, the werewolf player fought back desperately, dealing a lot of damage. If they can't get a immunity, they'll definitely be in a bad situation.

Under the subtle gazes of the girls, Kato Megumi quickly took half a step forward, gently tiptoed, and kissed Kiyono Makoto's cheek with her pink lips.

"So soft...and it smells milky..."

Kiyono Makoto's heart began to race.

The fatigue and stinging sensation in my body were automatically blocked by my brain, and all my senses were focused on my face—the soft touch was simply too unreasonable.

Moreover, the girl's fragrance was exceptionally alluring.

I kissed Eriri at the shrine before, but since it was just to complete a mission, I didn't feel anything special.

But now... my heart rate is noticeably twice as fast.

"So it was a kiss on the cheek..."

Seeing this, Eriri breathed a sigh of relief, then quietly puffed out her pink cheeks.

I'm unhappy.

In short, I'm inexplicably angry.

"how?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms, glanced over, and said teasingly, "Is some useless young lady jealous?"

Eriri glared at her, embarrassed and annoyed: "I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses, her expression remarkably calm, as she diligently recorded information in her notebook:

"As expected... the contents of the destiny rituals are not the same. There are two guesses: one is that the contents of the ritual are random, and the second possibility is that the more damage one suffers during the ritual, the higher the level of the destiny ritual that needs to be fulfilled."

"..."

Time slipped away quietly, second by second.

After a while, Kato Megumi quietly retreated. A faint blush appeared on the girl's usually calm and composed face, but her tone remained indifferent:

"I'm sorry... the ritual takes one minute."

Kiyono Makoto touched his damp cheek, where the soft touch of the girl's lips still lingered, making his heart flutter.

"Thank you for the treat... no, thank you Kato, damage immunity successful."

"You're welcome."

Kato Megumi turned her pretty face away, her fingers gently twirling a strand of hair behind her ear. "Kiyono-kun got hurt protecting everyone... so it's okay."

"stare--"

Eriri put her hands on her hips and squinted at me:

"Since everything's alright, let's get out of here quickly. Deepwater Hina is getting closer and closer."

"Not yet."

Kiyono Makoto shook his head. "The archer blocking the bridge just shot me again. He's not the same person as the werewolf player. We're in the dark while they're in the light. We don't know how many people are blocking the bridge yet, so we can't act rashly... Let's rest for a bit, and then continue with the previous plan."

After Kiyono Makoto finished speaking, he handed the backpack to the girl in the white coat:

"Futaba, could you take stock of the supplies inside?"

Makoto Kiyono.

"it is good."

Rio Futaba reached out and took it, then began to carefully count it.

Kiyono Makoto then took out the Crimson Key dropped by the werewolf player and decisively opened the chest.

You have earned 800 points.

You have gained a little agility.

You have obtained the item "Loli Transformation Candy".

You have obtained the item Skill Sealing Stone.

"Wait... something strange seems to have gotten mixed in?"

Chapter 63 Eriri's Shameful Apocalypse.

"...What the hell?"

Kiyono Makoto stared speechlessly at the colorful lollipop in his hand.

【Item: Loli Transformation Candy】

【Category: Consumables】

[How to use: After licking, your body shape will change, lasting for ten minutes, during which your body's flexibility will greatly increase.]

[Number of uses: 3/3]

[Note: A legendary manga artist, Nobuhiro Watsuki, has seriously denied rumors that he is a sex fetishist, insisting, "I just happen to like girls from the upper elementary school to around the second year of middle school!"]

"Hey, that idiot Seino's expression is so weird..."

Eriri put her hands on her hips and looked over curiously. "Is there something wrong with that candy?"

"There's a big problem."

Seino Makoto silently handed the lollipop to Eriri.

Upon seeing the item's attributes, Eriri's eyes widened immediately, and she couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief:

"Huh? Even the amusement park knows Nobuhiro Watsuki's name?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms: "After all, she's the author of 'Rurouni Kenshin,' there shouldn't be many people who don't know her."

A light, airy voice came from beside me:

"Although I don't read many comics, I do know who Watsuki-sensei is."

"Don't call that kind of guy 'teacher,' comics and character aren't related..."

Eriri wrinkled her nose slightly, making a sarcastic remark while displaying her lollipop-like personality.

Upon seeing the final note, the girls were all speechless.

"Well, after all, every boy has some kind of quirky, unspeakable fetish."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes flickered, a half-smile playing on her lips as she looked at Kiyono Makoto, her tone languid, "Junior-kun, you wouldn't be tricking us into eating candy, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto glanced over and said, "Senior is so smart, she definitely can't fool you."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "That's true..."

Makoto Kiyono: "So, all I'll do is force my senior to eat candy."

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "......"

"What use is an item that simply changes body shape without increasing any attributes, only greatly improving flexibility?"

Eriri rested her chin on her left hand and began to think seriously:

"It should be useful in certain special environments where a smaller size is required to pass through, such as... the ventilation ducts of the Ishimura?"

Before she could finish speaking, a hand swiftly reached out and covered Eriri's mouth.

"Lady Eriri, I'm begging you."

Kiyono Makoto was speechless. "Seriously, don't make promises you can't keep."

If you really get thrown into the Stone Village instance, it'll be too late even if you write a hundred words of regret with tears in your eyes!

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey~"

Eriri's pretty face flushed slightly. She spat lightly, wiped her lips, and glared at him, both embarrassed and annoyed.

"You idiot, Kiyono, your hands are so dirty, don't touch me."

I just washed my hands.

"You can't touch that!"

"..."

Amidst the commotion, Rio Futaba's voice rang out:

"The supplies in my backpack have been inventoried, and they can be exchanged for a total of 2,800 points."

Kasumigaoka Utaha furrowed her brows slightly.

"Collecting supplies is very troublesome... There must have been many deaths, right?"

Eriri bit her lower lip lightly, filled with righteous indignation:

"The dungeon is already this dangerous, and instead of working together, they're deliberately blocking the bridge and hunting and robbing other players... Some of these guys can't even be called human anymore, they have to be expelled from the human race!"

"It's not surprising that there are kind-hearted players like Glass, and evil people who specialize in hunting others."

Kiyono Makoto shook his head calmly:

"Less than three thousand points worth of supplies, which is even less when divided equally. This dungeon is very dangerous, but the rewards are far less than before."

When you're a lone wolf, all the profits naturally go into your own pocket, but now that you're building a team, the distribution of profits becomes very important.

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are typical examples in historical records.

Liu Bang was known as an old rogue who often urinated into the hats of Confucian scholars, but he trusted his subordinates implicitly and readily shared power and benefits with them. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, was brave but valued personal gain too much and was unwilling to share his profits, which ultimately led to his alienation from the people and his suicide at the Wujiang River.

The same applies after the team is formed.

Kiyono Makoto cannot monopolize all the extra benefits, otherwise the team will immediately become disunited.

However, if the profits are split equally, the points each person receives are quite meager, which is disappointing.

"Clearly, the park is treating ordinary players as 'resources'."

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses and said calmly, "Only by profiting from other players can you make a fortune."

"Benefit from other players?"

A sudden inspiration flashed through Kiyono Makoto's mind:

"There's absolutely nothing wrong with the logic."

"But blocking the bridge is too rudimentary. What if we switched to a voluntary transaction?"

"If you want to cross the bridge, it's normal to charge a toll, right?"

Upon thinking of this, Kiyono Makoto's heart began to race, but he quickly suppressed the thought.

To collect tolls, traffic on the bridge must be controlled, which is clearly not possible at present.

"...I just acquired a skill sealing stone."

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath, extended his right hand, and in his palm was a rune stone the size of a palm.

"Display attributes."
