The package has assigned me way too many objects.

Yan Liu, unaware of the details, immediately became concerned upon hearing her son complain of a stomachache and diarrhea, and also found fault with Jiechuan Quan:

"How could your stomach get cold? Your teacher didn't take good care of you. Luckily, you didn't catch a cold or fever!"

No, I think the female monster took good care of me. The fact that I wore a teacher's uniform this morning shows her sincerity. If I hadn't just been looked after by her, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out.

Chu Yinan had just received a wave of meticulous service from the female demon, and fearing she might be angry, he spoke up in her defense:

"No, it's just that I was a little hot after eating, so I lifted my clothes and looked out the window to let in some fresh air. It has nothing to do with the female monster; she took good care of me."

Minagawa Izumi's expression was already indifferent, and now, after being provoked by Yan Liu, she became even more expressionless. She sneered inwardly but remained silent, not wanting to explain further, and simply brought up dinner.

"Tonight's dinner is not suitable for Xiao Chunan. It's easy for a child like him to get a sore throat from eating this. If the manor or his guardian can't come up with a menu, I'll prepare food for him next time and take him back to his room to eat."

Yan Liu, unusually, didn't argue. She also felt that tonight's food wasn't suitable for Xiao Chunan. Grilled food, no matter what, shouldn't be eaten regularly; a light diet would be better.

Bei Yutang suddenly remembered something. Xiao Chunan had eaten roasted lamb testicles once before. She turned around in surprise and glanced at Minagawa Izumi. The latter felt uneasy under her gaze and wondered if she had been exposed.

"Xiao Chunan, besides having a stomachache and diarrhea after dinner tonight, do you have any other discomfort?"

Minagawa Izumi felt a slight panic; it was her first time doing something like this, and she had to keep it a secret from others. She felt like she was doing something wrong, but she remained calm and didn't give herself away, replying calmly:

"No, even if he had, he'd been in the bathroom for so long, he wouldn't have had lunch, let alone dinner."

Bei Yutang didn't say anything more and continued walking with Xiao Chunan.

Taking a walk isn't really a fun activity; it doesn't have the same clear motivation as a night run. However, as a post-meal exercise to help you digest, it's quite enjoyable to look around and chat with other people while walking.

Jiang Xuanya and her mother, Li Xuanen, came here to play and naturally didn't miss the opportunity to look around.

Jiang Xuanya, upon hearing Minagawa Izumi mention the recipe, asked curiously:

"I remember that Xiao Chu Nan sometimes gets his hands on some recipes. Could they all be given to him by Aunt Minagawa?"

Minagawa Izumi said gently, "Yes, back then, Xiao Chu Nan would send emails and call every now and then to ask for recipes, which was very annoying." She couldn't help but smile when she mentioned the annoyance.

It's quite amusing when this little guy pesters her for the recipe. Of course, every time he realizes she's the one talking to, he'll definitely add, "Can I see your toes?"

Lee Hyun-eun and her daughter often made desserts, so she naturally remembered the recipes clearly. She never expected that this was the elder who gave the recipes to Xiao Chunan.

"I think one of the dessert recipes was made to prank Xiao Chunan. It didn't taste very good, but the ingredients looked quite nutritious and aided digestion."

"Yes, I got annoyed by his questions, so I gave him a terrible dessert recipe."

Normally, Chu Yinan would have jumped out to protest, but for now, he dared not have a direct confrontation with the female demon. Having received favors, he felt inferior. Moreover, the female demon had not only manipulated him but also rubbed her legs against him; the black stockings with the markings had been worn out in just one day.

The sea breeze carries away the daytime dampness, making it much more comfortable to take a walk without that stuffy, cold, and damp discomfort.

Chu Yinan's conversation didn't last long; it quickly shifted to other topics, like where they were going for the holiday and what to do in the snow tomorrow. Chu Yinan, who had initially been walking between her older sister and Aunt Liu, first moved between her senior and her daughter, then between her younger sister and the female demon, and finally returned to Aunt Liu's side.

Almost an hour passed quickly, and Lee Hyun-eun started to have designs on Xiao Chunan, wanting to bring the little guy to her room to play together. However, since they were playing away from home, Lee Hyun-eun wasn't greedy and didn't try to have it all to herself.

"Before we came out, Xuan Ya told me that she wanted to watch a movie together tonight and stay up a little late. Xiao Chunan, do you want to come? Let's call Marissa and Chun over too. It would be nice to watch a horror or suspense movie together."

Chu Yinan was actually a guest at Lefie Manor, but compared to Jiang Xuanya and Li Xuanen, he was the host. He couldn't neglect his guests, and besides, he also wanted to go see a movie to avoid Aunt Liu's one-on-one attack on him. If there were more people, even if she came with the female monster, he wouldn't be afraid of a fight.

"Sure, are Aunt Liu and the female monster coming together?"

Yan Liu said, "I didn't take a nap today and I don't want to stay up late. You guys can have fun, but you can't stay up late tomorrow night. It's okay to indulge yourself once in a while, but don't make it a habit."

Minagawa Izumi doesn't like joining in the fun either; she prefers quiet. Besides, Yan Liu isn't going over, so there's no need to worry about Xiao Chunan.

"I don't like watching horror movies. I didn't find them interesting. You guys can watch them. I'll just let it go. I might fall asleep in five minutes."

Chu Yinan had just nodded when he suddenly felt a tremor in his pants. He jolted awake. How did we end up with a date mission right after we finished talking about horror movies...?

"I'm tired, can I go back now?"

Chapter 27 even features a dedicated mission area.

Back in his room, Chu Yinan returned to the familiar toilet stall, ready to prepare for the opening ceremony of his date mission.

He wanted to find a better location, but unfortunately, there were always people outside who would ask him to hang out. Only the restroom was safe.

"Let me think about what I've done since the last mission ended... I did some handstands with Marissa and Jun, then Heinrich rubbed my armpits against me, and I also had an interaction with Junlan, but that interaction with Junlan shouldn't have caused any problems."

There are too many to summarize. If I had to count, I also interacted with a female monster today.

The sheer variety of tasks far exceeded his computational capabilities, making it impossible for him to predict what kind of task the matching system would assign him.

"Judging from the time, it's most likely Yu Tang or Marisa's. Aunt Liu's task has just been completed, so it shouldn't be necessary for her to come again."

Taking a deep breath and performing a mystical ritual for peace, Chu Yinan opened the details page of the matching system, his gaze first falling on his potential match.

"Yu Tang, Marissa, and Aunt Xuan En, wow, does this even have multiplayer co-op missions?"

Chu Yinan really didn't expect that multiple names could appear in the "associated objects" column of the mission. Could it be that their mission interface can also display "teammates"?

"It shouldn't be that bad. If they could see it too, putting everything else aside, Yu Tang has already called me over for a leadership speech. There's no reason for me to stay comfortably in the bathroom for so long."

Looking at the mission "Castle-Themed Secret Room Exploration," the mission content has skipped the previous highly suggestive descriptions and simply states, "Complete the castle secret room exploration and defeat the female ghost in the correct way."

Chu Yinan kept trying to flip through the pages to see if there was any hidden content, but unfortunately there really wasn't. This mission was simpler than any of the previous ones. Apart from having a lot of mission targets, everything was normal.

It was so normal that Chu Yinan couldn't believe this was the task assigned to him!

"On another note, which castle-themed escape room should we go to? Glory Island doesn't have this kind of thing, does it?" Chu Yinan opened the map and searched for escape rooms on Glory Island, but found nothing.

"How do we do this task? I'm getting more and more clueless." Chu Yinan scratched his head, completely bewildered.

The bathroom door suddenly rang, and the female monster's voice came through: "Little Chu Nan, why have you been in the bathroom for so long again? Are you... feeling unwell?" Her tone was slightly strange.

Chu Yinan instinctively wanted to say yes, but instead of being clever, she put away her phone and said, "No, I forgot while playing games. I'll come out now."

As he stepped out of the bathroom, Izumi Minagawa stood guard outside. Her gaze first fell on his lower back, and when she saw that there was no conspicuous little tent, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she felt strange for staring at the child's area.

"Don't always stay in the bathroom, squatting for so long. Is it comfortable on the toilet? If you want to play games, sit properly in a chair." She pinched Chu Yinan's cheek.

"I just got so engrossed in playing that I forgot the time. Is the female monster getting ready to sleep?" Chu Yinan hugged her leg.

By this time, Minagawa Izumi had changed out of her daytime teacher's attire, taken a bath, and put back on her usual plain-colored nightgown. As it was getting closer to bedtime, her clothing became more casual; she didn't wear her corset, but a rope was lightly wrapped around her waist, revealing the prominent outline of her breasts through the open bodice, and her black lace underwear was faintly visible, but to be truly impressed, one had to look at her legs and feet.

While looking at black stockings all day is certainly pleasing to the eye, female monsters look much better barefoot!

"Don't hug my leg." Minagawa Izumi gently lifted his leg, seemingly to shake off Xiao Chu Nan, but without much force.

"Just a hug~" Chu Yinan sensed that her attitude wasn't very firm, so he stuck to her.

The woman, carried by him and dragging her heavy legs, went to get a drink of water. Seeing him still clinging to her, she said:

"Aren't you going to see the movie with them?"

"Want to come along too?" Chu Yinan wanted to hug Minagawa Izumi's leg to get a better look.

"Then don't go look, come back to sleep with me."

"Okay." Chu Yinan decided to sleep with her legs wrapped around his waist tonight.

Minagawa Izumi smiled helplessly, put his arm around his arm, picked him up, and walked towards Jiang Xuanya's room, saying, "If you don't go over there, your Aunt Liu will definitely say that I stole you away."

Now that they were at the door, Chu Yinan decided not to linger any longer.

"I'm going to play now, goodnight, can I kiss my mom?"

"No."

The woman's answer was still so merciless. Just as Chu Yinan was about to enter the room, he grabbed her leg again, trying to act spoiled. Minagawa Izumi rubbed his head.

"If you keep acting like a brat, I'll take you to Heinrich and let her teach you a lesson."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yinan immediately let go of Jiang Xuanya's hand and went to play in her room.

There were quite a few people in the room. Yu Tang and Marisa had arrived and started watching the movie, but it was only the prologue and the plot hadn't progressed much yet.

They asked the maid to bring several more blankets to spread on the floor, so they could move around on the floor mats. Nighttime entertainment is always more comfortable and relaxing, as there wasn't enough room for two people to lie on the sofa.

Chu Yinan picked up a lemon from the coffee table and started munching on it. Jiang Xuanya immediately carried him to the floor mat. Yu Tang, out of respect for Li Xuan'en, didn't immediately take the little brother back, but she was also keeping an eye on Jiang Xuanya to see if she was being too intimate.

Chu Yinan kept a watchful eye on things and observed Yu Tang and the others' reactions. He was relieved to find that they didn't come over to question him angrily. It seemed that the dating mission they received didn't show a long list of teammates' names.

"What kind of film is this? What's it about?" he asked.

If it's a vampire movie, just play on your phone. Most vampire movies these days like to use suspense and horror as a gimmick to sell BL (Boys' Love) content, and they'll even bring out a female lead as a cover, which is somewhat rebellious.

"An adventure, a castle adventure and treasure hunt, that's what the movie synopsis says," Marissa said, as she ate cookies with Chun.

Castle?

Chu Yinan suddenly remembered the mission, lightly kicked the maid, and asked:

"Chun, do you know where there are themed escape rooms on Glory Island?"

"No, right?" Chun thought for a moment. Anyway, she had never heard of such a business. But she did remember something. "Oh right, I heard other maids say today that some families sold their land on Glory Island. Some of their manors are real historical castles. I don't know how they were transported to the island."

Those historical castles are just for show; they've been repaired countless times, making them practically indistinguishable from being rebuilt entirely. Aside from the exterior, you can't find a single grain of sand that's original.

"Yeah, what's wrong? It's normal to sell, they can't make a living anymore."

"Then it seems that someone's manor was mortgaged to Mrs. Morgan, and now the AIs are using it for some kind of renovation project. The specifics are still unclear, but a maid saw many small renovation robots flying around the manor."

Chu Yinan: "..."

Did you guys create this whole place just to mess with me while I do my quests? I'm stupid!

Chapter 28 Lee Hyun-eun: Taking a Step Back

Chu Yinan had to look at the movie with a critical eye. He couldn't believe it was such a coincidence that the mission required going to a secret room in an ancient castle, and the movie just happened to be about an ancient castle. There must be a connection.

To his surprise, this mission was completely unrelated to what he had been doing lately. They just threw in a castle mission out of nowhere, probably to give him a break since winter vacation is so hard.

Chu Yinan munched on a lemon, watching the movie intently. It wasn't a mind-bending type; it was more about building atmosphere and had a bit of action-adventure, with some monsters appearing in the middle.

To be fair, the monster design in this film is somewhat reminiscent of Silent Hill, probably inspired by those monster nurses. The monsters that the protagonist and his group encounter have truly bizarre faces!

Faceless, faces behind the head, faces with many eyes—while the head models are getting creative, the body models are much less creative, all featuring large, round, fleshy buttocks. Judging from the muscle definition, they're probably professional ballet dancers with very attractive curves.

As long as you don't look at their face, you can basically go for it.

Moreover, even the gigantic spider has several beautiful legs, and it is said that this monster spider has devoured many people and is quite ferocious.

"This plot is so fast-paced! Only five minutes were spent on scene transitions and storyboarding in the middle, and the rest is just a dare," Bei Yutang commented. Because she has done a lot of research, she has now habitually adopted the approach of analyzing texts.

Chun and Marisa huddled under the covers, tightly covering themselves as a defense, with only their noses and above showing. They watched the movie screen intently, but whenever there was a bloody scene, they would simultaneously bury their faces in the covers and refuse to watch.

Lee Hyun-eun sat on the floor mat, holding Xiao Chu-nan in her arms, her hands warming his stomach as if they were hand warmers, though she occasionally reached down with her fingers.
