The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

"Read intelligence."

As Kiyono Makoto silently recited the words, a golden exclamation mark quietly exploded, transforming into several lines of text.

[Today's Info: Severe convective weather is expected to strike again today; please be aware of your safety when traveling.]

[Today's News Item 2: Sayuri Sawamura will encounter danger tonight]

[Today's News Item 3: Nishimiya Shoko wants to buy a swimsuit to prepare for her upcoming Golden Week trip, but she's too nervous and shy, and hopes you can accompany her.]

Kiyono Makoto's gaze fell on the second piece of intelligence, and he frowned slightly.

"Sawamura Sayuri... if I remember correctly, she's Eriri's mother, right?"

On the morning of the successful evacuation from Silent Hill, Eriri and Sayuri had a video call, during which Eriri caught a glimpse of Sayuri—a remarkably beautiful woman with dark hair.

Will we encounter danger tonight?

"What's the specific time?"

"And what is the source of the danger?"

The information was too general, and specific details were unavailable.

Seino Makoto turned on the tap and rinsed his mouth:

"Let's go to school first... We have to tell Eriri about this no matter what."

"..."

I've finished washing up.

After a quick breakfast, Kiyono Makoto grabbed his schoolbag, slipped in a folding umbrella just in case, and headed out to school.

They remained silent the entire way.

Upon arriving at the school, the campus was as bustling as ever.

The May Day Golden Week is just around the corner, and everyone is looking forward to the long holiday, which will be even more lively and bustling than usual.

Good morning, Kiyono-kun.

A girl's gentle and pleasant voice rang in my ears, like white clouds drifting across the sky, leaving no trace after the wind has passed.

"Good morning."

Kiyono Makoto looked up at the bob-haired girl beside him.

After changing back into her ordinary school uniform, Kato Megumi's presence became extremely faint again, and she became invisible in the class once more, completely ignored by everyone.

"Oh right, I remember there was homework assigned over the weekend?"

Makoto Kiyono clasped his hands together in prayer:

"I was playing games all night and forgot to write. Kato-sama, please let me take a look."

"Hey... it's better to do your homework yourself."

Kato Megumi responded while handing over her workbook.

"I am extremely grateful."

"..."

The three morning classes passed quickly. During the break between the third and fourth classes, Kiyono Makoto took out his phone and sent a message to Eriri.

"Eri, come to the rooftop at noon."

Kiyono Makoto had been wanting to talk about the daily news, but unfortunately, Takumi always wore the mask of a perfect young lady at school, surrounded by friends, so he couldn't find a chance to be alone with her.

The message was quickly marked as read.

Eriri, who was chatting with her friend, turned her head and gave Kiyono Makoto a questioning look:

"You idiot, Seino, what do you want me to do on the rooftop?"

Makoto Kiyono: "I have something very important to tell you."

Yinglili: "......"

Something very important?

What's up?

Could it be that idiot Kiyono is going to confess his feelings to me?

At this thought, a faint blush crept onto Eriri's face. Just as she was thinking about how to politely refuse, another message popped up on her phone:

"Eri, you don't want anything to happen to Mom, do you?"

Chapter 86 Eriri: Come home with me tonight.

"...You don't want anything to happen to Mom, do you?"

Upon seeing the message pop up on her phone, Eriri opened her eyes wide in confusion, her beautiful sapphire-like eyes filled with bewilderment.

Meow meow meow?

What is that idiot Seino saying?

Using your mother to threaten yourself?

and many more!

While that idiot Kiyono is shameless and vulgar, he hasn't gone this far yet. Could it be...?

Eriri's face paled slightly, and she quickly bit her lower lip. Her sixth sense had been subtly activated, and she had actually guessed the truth:

"Does this mean Mom is in danger?"

"Eri-chan, are you alright?"

A girl wearing glasses looked over with concern:

"Are you feeling unwell? Your face has suddenly turned very pale."

"I, I'm fine..."

Eriri took a deep breath and forced a smile onto her face.

"You didn't sleep well last night, don't worry."

"It's good that you're alright."

Another girl invited, "Eri-chan, let's go shopping together after school this afternoon?"

Eriri parted her pink lips and shook her head in refusal:

"Sorry, the art club has a very important event to attend today... Let's go shopping another day."

Although she didn't know what had happened, Eriri had absolutely no interest in shopping right now.

"Why can't you just say it on your phone? Why do you have to wait until lunch break... It's infuriating."

The school bell rang soon after. While others were returning to their seats, Eriri quietly turned her head and glared fiercely at Kiyono Makoto.

"If it's just a prank, you're dead!"

"..."

A class passed by in a flash.

Upon hearing the lunch break bell ring, Eriri, feeling uneasy, quickly got up.

"Eri-chan, shall we eat bento together?"

Several close female friends came over and extended an invitation.

"Sorry, I have plans with someone else today."

Eriri, holding the bento box in both hands, politely declined, saying, "You guys eat it yourselves."

"Huh?"

The girl wearing glasses' eyes lit up:

"Does Eriri Risshid eat her bento with boys?"

"Not a boy."

Eriri slightly turned her pretty face away, her smile still flawless. "She's just a girl, a former junior of mine."

"Oh well."

The girl with glasses said disappointedly, "I thought it was a boy."

Yinglili: "......"

This is the reason I lied.

To be honest, given these friends' gossipy nature, they would definitely follow and eavesdrop!

"I'm leaving now, see you later."

Eriri got up to say goodbye and hurriedly left the classroom.

"call......"

Eriri let out a soft breath, pursed her beautiful lips, and climbed the stairs to the rooftop.

Arriving hastily at the rooftop, Eriri looked around and found it completely empty, not a soul in sight. She immediately clenched her fists.

"Damn it, that idiot Kiyono stood me up?!"

Fortunately, not long after, I heard the sound of the door opening behind me.

Eriri subconsciously turned her head and saw Kiyono Makoto walking up with a bag of fried noodles.

"You idiot, Seino! Why are you taking so long to get here?"

Eriri quickly puffed out her pink cheeks.

"Since no one is preparing my lunch, I have to grab some fried noodles and bread. It's normal to be a little slow, right?"

As he spoke, Kiyono Makoto walked towards a bench at the edge of the rooftop. "Come sit down and let's talk."

Eriri caught up, eagerly asking:

"What did that message mean? Does it mean Mom is in danger?"

Kiyono Makoto turned his head and looked over:

"Why don't you eat your lunch first? You might not have the appetite after hearing this."

"I've already lost my appetite."

Eriri narrowed her eyes, her little fangs gleaming coldly. "I hate riddle people the most! Tell me what happened already!"

"Then I'll tell you."

Makoto Kiyono's expression subtly turned serious:

"Eriri, do you still remember my daily information superpower?"

"..."

A sense of foreboding crept into Eriri's heart, and she nervously held her breath.

"You saw information related to your mother?"

"That's right."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly and whispered the truth, "When I woke up this morning, I saw a news report that said 'Sawamura Sayuri will be in danger tonight.'"

Eriri's pretty face paled, and the bento box slipped from her hand.

Sawamura Sayuri...it's definitely my mother's name!

Bang.

Kiyono Makoto reached out and caught the slipping bento box, then pressed down on Eriri's shoulder to help her sit on the bench.

"Don't panic. Auntie was in danger at night, so we have a real chance to change the future."

Eriri looked up at him, gripping Kiyono Makoto's right hand tightly, her eyes already welling up with tears.

What dangers might Mom encounter?
