The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Kiyono Makoto gently shook his head:

"I don't know. The intelligence was vague and lacked specific details, only saying that there would be danger."

That's why he didn't tell Zhai Li the truth using his phone.

Hearing that her mother might have met with misfortune, even a science-minded girl like Futaba wouldn't be able to remain calm, right?

If he sends a message to tell him the truth, Eriri will most likely get up immediately upon seeing it and run to him to ask what happened, which sounds like a lot of trouble.

Has your aunt shown any unusual behavior recently?

Kiyono Makoto asked softly.

"No......"

Eriri bit her lower lip lightly, about to shake her head, when she suddenly frowned. "Mom has indeed been acting strangely these past few days."

"My mom used to stay up very late every day. Last month, she even stayed up all night with me to draw a book, and she was still full of energy the next day. Now, she has to go to bed at nine o'clock every night, and her dark circles are getting worse. She looks super tired."

"I'm a little worried. I even accompanied my mother to the hospital for a check-up yesterday..."

Eriri frowned as she spoke:

"But my mother's health is perfectly normal, there's nothing wrong with her. The doctor said it might be insomnia and vivid dreams caused by an endocrine imbalance."

"This is not normal."

Kiyono Makoto said calmly, "People who frequently stay up late have their biological clocks changed without them even realizing it. If you tell them to go to bed early, they'll actually have trouble sleeping."

Eriri suddenly looked up, a possibility coming to mind:

"Perhaps the instruments can't detect it... Could it be related to the player?"

"A player is secretly targeting Mom, wanting to turn her into... a puppet?"

Sawamura Sayuri is very beautiful and comes from a wealthy family, making her a top-tier "rich, beautiful, and successful" woman. Coupled with her "wife" attributes, she certainly fits the aesthetic tastes of some Cao Cao players.

Kiyono Makoto was silent for two seconds: "...That possibility cannot be ruled out."

"hateful!"

Eriri clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth:

"He dared to lay a hand on Mom, he'll be absolutely not forgiven!"

"Don't get excited yet, there might be other possibilities."

Kiyono Makoto spoke calmly, soothing Tsai-ri's emotions, "Tell Auntie not to go out tonight, to stay home. You take care of her closely to avoid any danger from going out."

"If it really was a player who attacked the aunt, then we should find out who's behind it."

"call......"

Eriri took a deep breath, gently bit her lower lip, and gripped Kiyono Makoto's right hand tightly:

"Kiyono, come home with me after school."

"it is good."

Kiyono Makoto nodded in agreement.

Since this concerns Zhai Li's mother, she certainly wouldn't stand idly by.

"Don't think too much about it for now, let's eat our bento boxes first."

Kiyono Makoto handed over the bento box, saying, "It's important to fill your stomach; you'll lose your mind when you're hungry."

"How could I possibly have the appetite to eat anything...?"

Eriri complained, but obediently took the lunchbox with both hands.

Upon opening, the bento box inside was exceptionally abundant, containing broccoli, cherry tomatoes, rice, shrimp, mini sausages, golden fried pork cutlet, tuna sashimi... The combination of various colors made it look like a work of art.

The rooftop was unusually quiet at noon; apart from Makoto Kiyono and Eriri, no one else came up today.

Seino Makoto had already finished his fried noodles and bread, but Eriri was distracted and only ate a small portion of her bento, leaving most of it untouched.

"Eat quickly, it's getting late."

Kiyono Makoto reminds you.

"I have no appetite, I can't eat anymore."

Eriri instinctively handed over the bento box, saying, "You eat it."

Kiyono Makoto took the bento box: "I'm definitely not full."

Before, one fried noodle bread was enough for me, but now my appetite has obviously increased, and one bread isn't enough. I also have PE class in the afternoon, so naturally I need to eat more.

As for hygiene... during the Silent Hill evacuation, being able to eat in peace was already a blessing; there was no right to be picky.

"Huh?"

Seeing Kiyono Makoto eat his bento with a natural expression, Eriri quickly widened her beautiful eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Kiyono Makoto ate while glancing over.

Eriri's face flushed red, and she turned her head to look elsewhere.

"......fine."

She usually eats lunch with her friends, and they often sample each other's lunches, which is why she blurted out the above words, but she has never let any boy eat her lunch.

"...Isn't this the same as an indirect kiss?"

Eriri pressed her legs together, unable to suppress a mental rant.

Okay, we've already kissed twice, so indirect kissing isn't a big deal... just kidding!

That kiss was out of necessity; it's super safe now, okay?

But since she'd already eaten it, she couldn't just take it back. Eriri could only cross her arms, turn her pretty face away, her ears burning, and quietly change the subject:

"You idiot, Kiyono, after we get home, you hide in your room and don't let Mom find you."

Kiyono Makoto nodded: "Understood, lie in wait in the shadows, and wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump."

"I'll give you the ring later."

Eriri crossed her arms over her chest. "I'll stay by Mom's side. If I see any enemies, I'll call you immediately. If it's just a normal everyday danger, please don't show up."

"Received... I've finished eating."

Kiyono Makoto breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the bento box.

"ha?"

Eriri's eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively retorted:

Are you a pig?

There was so much left in the bento box, more than I could eat in ten minutes, and you finished it in a minute?

Seino Makoto said slowly and deliberately:

"Eri, don't scold yourself."

"Huh?"

"If I were a pig, wouldn't you be the girl who has kissed a pig?"

Eriri's pretty face quickly turned red:

"That was out of necessity!"

"It's also true that we had no choice."

Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!

Eriri decisively stood up and lashed out with her twin tails:

"...Die, you idiot Kiyono!"

Chapter 87 Futaba: This isn't a proper substitution technique!

Before you knew it, it was time to get out of school.

"Wait a moment, I need to go to the Science Club to see Futaba."

Makoto Kiyono took out his phone and sent a message to Eriri.

The message was quickly marked as read.

Eriri turned to look at her: "I know, I'll wait for you in the classroom."

"Walk."

Kiyono Makoto nodded slightly, put his hands in his pockets, and left the classroom.

"..."

Ten minutes later.

Science Society.

"Please come in."

A calm and steady voice came from the activity room.

Seino Makoto pushed open the door and entered the room: "Futaba, good afternoon."

"......good afternoon."

Rio Futaba, still wearing her white lab coat, stood on the podium and responded softly. Her hair wasn't tied up; her fluffy, slightly wavy hairstyle was exceptionally cute, making one want to ruffle it.

Their eyes met.

Futaba looked at each other calmly, finally overcoming their shame, and their gazes no longer dared to escape.

"I've had bad luck these past few days; all the equipment I've forged has been the most basic white quality."

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses and cut to the chase, "Kiyono-kun, please, my goal for advancement is still to become a defensive shield."

In this perilous paradise, defensive gear that increases the chances of survival is always in high demand and there's never a shortage of buyers.

In contrast, abstract props like the Lolita Lollipop are basically ignored.

Leave it to me.

Kiyono Makoto nodded and activated the entry observation eye.

Unfortunately, today's entries were all quite ordinary, and none of them were particularly noteworthy.

A moment later.

The item's quality has been successfully upgraded.

"nailed it."

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath and handed over the prop.

"Thank you, Kiyono-kun."

Rio Futaba thanked her softly, "I'll transfer the points to you as soon as the equipment is sold."

No rush.

Kiyono Makoto looked at Futaba and said seriously, "I have something to tell you... Buying item prototypes requires points, and I can't let you pay for it all by yourself. Since we're splitting the costs 50/50, I should also contribute half of the points for the prototypes."

Rio Futaba shook her head:

"Kiyono-kun's abilities are irreplaceable, so..."

"I'm the captain, what I say goes."

Kiyono Makoto spoke resolutely and decisively transferred the points he had spent on the original embryo.

"..."

Looking at the points she had earned, Futaba parted her pink lips, her gaze complex:

"......Thanks."

After thanking her, Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses and her expression turned serious.
