The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

Am I some kind of cannibalistic demon?

That's way too much to jump into the river out of fear!

The stream wasn't deep, only a little over a meter, so Kiyono Makoto wasn't worried and waited for Nishimiya Shoko to get ashore on her own.

As a result, Kiyono Makoto was quickly shocked.

"Help, help, help..."

A girl's distressed cries for help rang out. Despite it being a very shallow stream, Nishimiya Shoko was unable to get up and awkwardly called for help in the water.

"I remember now, Shoko can't swim."

Kiyono Makoto slightly twitched the corner of his mouth and quickly stepped forward.

If we don't help, Nishimiya Shoko might become the most embarrassing player in history!

After walking a few steps to the riverbank, Kiyono Makoto, quick as a flash, grabbed the girl's wrist and pulled her up with all his might.

"Cough cough cough..."

Nishimiya Shoko coughed in distress, clearly frightened by the pain of choking on water. Her body then followed the instincts she had developed in the dungeon, instinctively wrapping her arms around Kiyono Makoto's neck, clinging to him like a koala.

"It's alright now."

Makoto Kiyono patted the girl on the back:

I'm so sorry I startled you just now.

"Yes, I suddenly slipped..."

Nishimiya Shoko quickly calmed down, and upon realizing her current position, her pretty face flushed red, and she hurriedly stepped back to create some distance.

"Huh?"

Nishimiya Shoko opened her eyes wide and her gaze fell on Kiyono Makoto's chest.

When she fell into the water, her clothes were naturally soaked, and she was covered in mud. When she nervously hugged Kiyono Makoto, river water and mud got all over him, making him look a mess.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Overwhelmed with guilt and panic, Nishimiya Shoko instinctively bowed and apologized.

Kiyono Makoto was about to say that it was nothing, but his gaze was caught by an unknown force of gravity.

The girl's shirt draped down under the influence of gravity, revealing her delicate collarbones, pink bra, and snow-white... everything was on full display.

Makoto Kiyono's quick glance suggests that while Shoko's combat strength isn't as exaggerated as Futaba's, she could at least take on several Otaku.

"..."

Girls are actually particularly sensitive to boys' gazes. Kiyono Makoto's gaze only lingered for a second before Nishimiya Shoko keenly noticed it.

The girl, soaking wet, hurriedly raised her hand to cover her chest, her pretty face turning bright red as if rouge had been spilled on it. She shyly looked down at her toes.

"cough......"

Seino Makoto averted his gaze and changed the subject:

"What were you looking for, Shoko-san?"

"Um, that..."

Nishimiya Shoko stammered, but unfortunately she was too shy at the moment and spoke too softly to be heard at all.

"The sound is too soft."

Kiyono Makoto instinctively leaned closer to listen.

Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face flushed, and she instinctively wanted to back away, but she forgot that there was a small river behind her.

"careful."

Kiyono Makoto reacted quickly, grabbing the girl's soft, slender waist to prevent Shoko from falling into the water again in an embarrassing situation.

"Well......"

The burning sensation on her waist made Nishimiya Shoko tense up instantly, her heart pounding wildly. In her shame and panic, she bury her head in the sand like an ostrich and choose to close her eyes.

Makoto Kiyono: "......"

no.

What are you doing with your eyes closed?

Is he thinking something strange?

"Hold on tight."

Kiyono Makoto, of course, wouldn't take advantage of someone's vulnerability and quickly elevate Nishimiya Shoko to the position of official wife, then said:

"If you don't want to talk, you can send a message using your phone."

"call......"

Nishimiya Shoko cautiously opened one eye, saw Kiyono Makoto take two steps back, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Shyly, she picked up her phone and typed a message:

"I just saw a kitten by the river. It was so cute, I wanted to pet it... but then my sister's bracelet accidentally fell into the river."

"I see."

Kiyono Makoto looked at Shoko, "Did you find the bracelet?"

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko lowered her head and remained silent.

That means there isn't any left.

Kiyono Makoto walked to the riverbank. Because Shoko had just fallen into the water, the water was murky and he couldn't see anything.

"The place where it fell into the water is where the bracelet fell off, right?"

Kiyono Makoto crouched down and dipped his hand into the murky river water, beginning to grope.

Before long, I felt an unusual smooth touch on my fingertips. When I took it out, I was surprised to find that it was a blue bracelet.

"Kiyono-kun is amazing..."

Seeing that Kiyono Makoto easily found the bracelet, Nishimiya Shoko's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

She had been searching for quite a while but couldn't find the bracelet, and had almost given up hope, but unexpectedly, Kiyono Makoto found it so easily.

"Basic procedures, don't overdo it."

Seino Makoto remained calm as he handed the bracelet to Shoko.

The "Strong Luck" attribute may seem to have no specific effect, but it is in effect at all times.

"Thank you, Kiyono-kun..."

Nishimiya Shoko happily accepted the bracelet and bowed again to express her gratitude.

However, the girl learned her lesson this time; when she bowed, she covered her chest tightly with her hands.

Unfortunately, Shoko forgot one thing.

When clothes are soaked, they tend to stick to your body, making certain silhouettes appear particularly clear...

Kiyono Makoto quietly shifted his gaze and looked towards the small bridge not far away.

Because of the recent incident of someone falling into the water, several passersby stopped to watch.

Seino Makoto calmly took off his school uniform jacket and handed it to Nishimiya Shoko:

"Put it on."

"Huh?"

Nishimiya Shoko tilted her pretty face up, looking at me with a puzzled expression, her gaze somewhat blank.

Seino Makoto lowered his voice:

"You've exposed yourself."

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko's pretty face flushed red instantly, and she hurriedly put on her coat.

"Your clothes are soaked; Shoko needs to find a place to take a shower."

Kiyono Makoto took out his phone. "Let me see if there are any hotels nearby..."

Nishimiya Shoko quickly looked up, and like in a dungeon, carefully tugged at Kiyono Makoto's sleeve:

"Go home and wash..."

"Um?"

My home is nearby...

Since his home was nearby, there was no need to go to a hotel. Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly and put away his phone.

"Shoko, go home. I'm going to eat first."

Just as she turned around, Nishimiya Shoko grabbed the hem of her dress. Water droplets still dripped from the girl's hair. Mustering her courage, she whispered:

"I got Kiyono's clothes dirty... let's wash them together when we get back."

What should we wash together?

It's just that our clothes got dirty; there's no need to atone for it by taking a bath together!

Seeing the change in Kiyono Makoto's expression, Nishimiya Shoko finally realized the ambiguity in his words, and quickly shook her head like a rattle-drum.

"There are two bathrooms in the house, so you can take a shower separately!"

Although Kiyono Makoto hadn't fallen into the water, his pants were clearly wet from being hugged by Shoko, so he genuinely wanted to change his clothes and didn't refuse.

"Then I'll bother you."

"call......"

Nishimiya Shoko breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Kiyono Makoto, then quickly lowered her head, covering her chest with her hands in shame.

"Kiyono-kun... come home with me..."

Kiyono Makoto stepped forward to catch up:

"Shoko-kun reacted a bit clumsily just now, is it because she can't swim?"

"..."

Nishimiya Shoko nodded weakly.

"We might encounter ocean-related content in the future, so it's essential to learn how to swim."

Instead of adopting a condescending attitude, Kiyono Makoto offered a practical solution: "During the New Year shopping season, I won a six-month swimming pool membership card in a raffle at the mall, but I've never used it."

"I'll give you your swimming card on Sunday, and then I'll teach you some simple techniques. You'll be able to learn how to swim very quickly."

Nishimiya Shoko did not refuse, but simply agreed softly:

"Thank you, Kiyono-kun... I'll learn to swim as soon as possible so I won't cause any trouble for anyone."

"Not for others, but for your own sake."

"..."

A moment later.

Led by Nishimiya Shoko, Kiyono Makoto arrived outside a beautiful wooden house.

"Please wait a moment..."

Nishimiya Shoko took small steps forward and pressed the doorbell.

A short while later, the door opened, and a kind-looking old lady appeared behind it.

"Shoko's back... huh?"

The old lady paused, her gaze falling on Kiyono Makoto, her expression clearly showing surprise.

"Grandma, I'm home."

Nishimiya Shoko blushed and stammered softly, "He's Kiyono-kun... my friend. I accidentally fell into the river earlier, and Kiyono-kun saved me, so I took him home to shower and change."
