The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Nishimiya Shoko was clearly eager to return home. After bowing to everyone, she hurriedly boarded the tram alone.

Rio Futaba was much calmer, seemingly unconcerned about not returning home that night. She waved and got into her car to leave.

A moment later.

Another tram slowly approached, and Kiyono Makoto stepped onto it, followed by his senior and Kato Megumi. The three of them sat down together in a corner.

It's still early.

The tram was empty and unusually quiet, with only a few hardworking people sitting in the corner, either catching up on sleep or playing on their phones.

After Kiyono Makoto sat down, he turned to look out the window.

The city is slowly awakening in the morning light, and people are already active on the streets: office workers in suits, milk delivery workers on bicycles, elderly people walking their pets... The scene is exceptionally quiet and peaceful.

No one knows that, somewhere in the world, someone has just returned alive after surviving a catastrophe.

"The experience in the dungeon felt like a dream..."

Kato Megumi murmured softly.

Although the future is promising, Kato is just an ordinary girl right now. It's already quite remarkable that she can remain so calm after being suddenly caught up in an inexplicable supernatural event.

"I'm sorry, if I hadn't taken you for a night run in the park, we probably wouldn't have gotten caught up in this dungeon."

Kiyono Makoto apologized softly.

"It has nothing to do with Kiyono-kun."

Kato Megumi gently shook her head, her tone calm. "That werewolf clearly followed me to the mall. It would have been much more dangerous if I had stayed home alone."

"I'm just a little worried. If I suddenly disappeared, my parents and sister would be very sad, wouldn't they?"

Kiyono Makoto extended his right hand and silently grasped the girl's soft hand:

"I believe in Kato's potential; not only will he be fine, he can become an incredibly skilled player."

"Eh..."

Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly. "From childhood to adulthood, I've never known what my potential is."

If you've been classmates for three years and others still can't even remember your name, that's certainly a kind of potential, it's just that it hasn't been properly explored yet.

Bang.

His shoulders slumped slightly.

Kiyono Makoto turned his head and saw that his senior had fallen asleep at some point. At this moment, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she subconsciously leaned on his shoulder.

It must be said that the sleeping senior's profile is exceptionally beautiful, though her brows are slightly furrowed; one wonders if she's dreaming of returning to Silent Hill.

"..."

They remained silent the entire way.

The tram swayed and rattled as it arrived at the station.

"Senior, wake up, get ready to get off the bus."

Kiyono Makoto gently woke up his senior.

"Well......"

Kasumigaoka Utaha groggily opened her eyes, her wine-red pupils filled with a hazy mist:

"Junior?"

After taking in her surroundings, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly regained her senses and sat up straight.

Kiyono Makoto silently lowered his head and looked at his shoulder, where a dark, damp stain was clearly visible.

Obviously, even a beautiful girl drools while she's asleep.

Kasumigaoka Utaha blushed slightly, raised her hand to wipe her lips, and her expression remained languid.

"That wasn't saliva, it was tears."

She doesn't even blink when she lies; no wonder she's a literary girl.

"The real world is too boring. I just imagined a grand love tragedy in my dream, so tears are streaming from the corner of my mouth."

That's enough! Even a primary school student wouldn't believe that kind of excuse!

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms over her chest, her fingers deftly smoothing the wrinkles in her bosom, closed one eye, and tilted her head to look at him:

"If you have any other ideas, junior, I can pretend I didn't see it."

Seino Makoto remained expressionless.

"As we all know, saliva production decreases significantly when we're asleep, which accelerates the breakdown and fermentation by oral bacteria. In addition, saliva becomes concentrated when it dries, so even if you're a beautiful girl, your saliva will still have a smell..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kiyono Makoto felt a sharp pain in his right foot.

"Junior, there's an old saying in China: 'Those who understand the times are heroes.'"

The senior's smile is dangerous:

"You don't want to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair, do you?"

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

The tram slowly came to a stop, and Kiyono Makoto got off with two girls, then walked home.

"...Wait, where's the key?"

Seiichi Kiyono reached into his pockets, only to find them completely empty.

"I have a spare key."

Kato Megumi took out a spare key, stepped forward, and opened the door.

After entering the entryway, Kato Megumi bent down to open the shoe cabinet and took out slippers:

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, these slippers were aired out yesterday, you can wear them for now."

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, glanced at Kato carefully, and spoke calmly:

"Thank you, Kato-kun."

After the two finished changing their shoes, Kato Megumi looked up at them:

"Kiyono-kun, you and Kasumigaoka-senpai go wash up first. I'll prepare the meal. After you eat, you can rest well. There's some leftover rice from yesterday in the fridge. How about omelet rice?"

"You've worked hard, so I'll have the omelet rice."

Kiyono Makoto looked at the bob-haired girl and said, "Finish off all the leftover rice from yesterday. As a player, especially after strengthening your attributes, your appetite will increase significantly. Less rice really won't be enough. Also, add more oil and salt."

Japan's low-oil, low-food lifestyle appears to be related to its aging population, but at its core, it is actually an economic issue.

Japan has entered a super-aged society with too many elderly people. If the elderly become obese, they will suffer from various underlying diseases, which will bring a devastating blow to pension finances.

Therefore, twenty years ago, Japan began to implement a law requiring companies to conduct legal waist circumference checks on employees aged 40 to 70. If the waist circumference exceeded the standard, wages and performance bonuses would be deducted. Coupled with the social atmosphere where obesity is discriminated against, this eventually led to a low-oil and low-salt diet.

Simply put, fat accumulation is an innate tendency in all living things; no one is born liking a diet low in oil and salt.

After awakening his memories of his past life, Kiyono Makoto now not only wants to eat well, but also wants to eat his fill.

"Okay."

Kato didn't try to persuade or object; he simply agreed quietly.

Kiyono Makoto turned to look at the girl with long, straight black hair:

"Senior, there's a bathroom upstairs. You can go upstairs to wash up; I'll use the bathroom downstairs."

"..."

A moment later.

Kiyono Makoto grabbed a change of clothes, went to the bathroom, took a thorough shower, and then soaked comfortably in the bathtub.

"After a busy day, happiness is taking a hot bath..."

Twenty minutes later.

After taking a bath, Seino Makoto's mental energy recovered somewhat, and he walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.

"Kiyono-kun, dinner will be ready soon."

Hearing the noise, Kato Megumi turned around and looked over. "I just washed some fruit and put it on the table. Kiyono-kun, have some fruit first. Don't worry about the clothes, I'll come and get them from the washing machine later."

"Yes, yes... I feel like I can't survive independently without Kato."

As he spoke, Kiyono Makoto walked to the table, picked up a bright red apple, and began to eat it with a crunch.

I had just finished eating two apples when my phone suddenly vibrated.

Kiyono Makoto picked up his phone and saw a message from Kasumigaoka Utaha:

"Junior, I just finished showering and realized I forgot to bring a change of clothes. Can I borrow your clothes for now?"

"Hold on."

Kiyono Makoto didn't think too much about it and got up to go upstairs.

Just as he reached the top of the stairs, Kato's light, airy voice suddenly rang out behind him:

"Kiyono-kun, the food will be ready soon, what are you going to do?"

Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto stopped and looked at Kato, making no attempt to hide anything:

"My senior said she had finished showering, but forgot to bring any clothes, so she asked me to help her find some."

"Eh..."

Kato Megumi blinked her bright eyes and stepped out of the kitchen:

"Kasumigaoka-senpai is a girl after all, so my clothes would suit her better, even if they're a little small... Kiyono-kun, why don't you go check on the cooking in the kitchen?"

"......OK."

Watching the bob-haired girl casually walk upstairs, Kiyono Makoto had a strange, indescribable feeling.

Speaking of Kato's appearance... isn't it a bit too coincidental?

Chapter 71 Senior: It'll break, won't it!

dong dong dong.

Before long, Kato Megumi and her senior came down one after the other.

After taking a shower, the senior student didn't tie her hair up, but let it fall to her waist. Her long hair was like a waterfall, black and beautiful. Even without makeup, she was still pure and elegant.

"Taking a bath is indeed the ultimate human pleasure."

Kasumigaoka Utaha, her voice languid, walked to the table and bent down to pull out a chair.

The white shirt that the senior was wearing was a simple style, obviously a change of clothes for Kato.

Because of the difference in height and body shape, the shirt that fits Kato Megumi perfectly is a little too big on the upperclassman. It was fine when she went downstairs, but now that she bent over slightly, the shirt naturally pulled up, revealing a glimpse of her snow-white, slender waist that was flawless, with a faint vertical navel and shallow waist dimples.

Kiyono Makoto's gaze involuntarily drifted over, feeling as if he had been forcibly controlled for two seconds.

"stare--"

A gloomy gaze swept over.

Kiyono Makoto subconsciously turned his head, only to find that Kato Megumi wasn't looking at him, but was quietly busy in the kitchen.

Strange... Was the feeling of being stared at just now just my imagination?

"Kiyono-kun, come and serve the food."

The girl's nonchalant voice came from the kitchen.

"...They've arrived."

A moment later.

Three servings of omelet rice were served, along with kombu miso soup that Kato Megumi had just cooked.

"I'm starting to eat."

Kiyono Makoto picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

With delicious food in front of them, none of the three were in the mood for conversation; they were only thinking about filling their stomachs as quickly as possible.
