Chapter 87 Is it strange to rummage through the trash can as a routine thing...
"...They say they're exploring the castle, but they really just want to dig through the trash!"
Although he had been mentally prepared, Sawada Tsunayoshi still couldn't help but feel the veins on his forehead throbbing at his junior sister's almost unconcealed attitude: "It's okay if it happens elsewhere, but it's absolutely not allowed in the bedroom... Even if you say it's Reborn's mission!"
"That's right—how could you desecrate the sacred bedroom of the Tenth Daemon like this?!" Gokudera Wolf also responded enthusiastically, standing in front of the little raccoon and looking at her warily. "Even if you are the Tenth Daemon's junior sister, this is not allowed! Please rest assured, Tenth Daemon, I will absolutely protect your private space with my life!"
"...Then there's no need to swear to protect it to the death..."
All in all, due to the tough attitude of her senior brother and the surveillance of Mukusi Lang, Chaomu ultimately had no chance to get into Sawada Tsunayoshi's bedroom - the same was true for the other guardians. While leading the way, Mukusi Lang strictly prevented all her misbehavior and strictly controlled her exploration route.
"That's boring, Gokudera-kun."
When he was blocked from turning upstairs for the tenth time, Chaomu clenched his paws and said expressionlessly, "The target of the blockage is so clear. Aren't you clearly telling me that my senior brother's room is upstairs?"
Even a fool could realize that something was wrong with such precautions... Every time she tried to go that way, the prison wolf would grab her by the scruff of the neck from behind and carry her away, or in serious cases, he would pin her down under his claws, as if she was being treated as a thief.
The feeling of being pinned down by the silver wolf under its warm paw pads was actually quite good, but after too many times, Chaomu would feel like a weasel that came to steal chickens and was caught on the spot by the gatekeeper Yusi Wang - but she hadn't even seen the chicken yet!
"Successfully stopping you is more important than protecting your information." The Wolf of the Prison Temple clamped his large paws firmly on the raccoon's thrashing tail. He lowered his head to gnaw at the scruff of her neck, mercilessly dragging her away from the stairs. "And please don't say anything like 'I was just going up there to take a look'—I won't believe it."
Just as Chaomu was about to say, "I'll just go up and take a look, I won't do anything," he choked. Knowing he probably wouldn't get past him, he could only sigh softly and let his paw dangle as he took the trash can away. "Senior brother, you're not allowed to touch the trash can in your room, but what about the one in your own room, Mukusi-kun? I promise I'll just touch it."
Touching him every day is the same as touching him. She feels that there is nothing wrong with her behavior. She has already given in to this extent. Yu Si should agree, right?
But touching is still touching, no matter whether others can accept it or not, Hayato Gokudera cannot accept it.
"My room is naturally not within the scope of exploration." He held the raccoon's neck in his mouth and said in an unquestionable tone, "Please allow me to remind you that your exploration method without any sense of boundaries will cause trouble to others. No one will accept it—"
"Miss Mu is so keen on rummaging through the trash cans. Are you playing some special game?" He had barely finished his words when the Akita dog came over, wagging its tail. It naturally lowered its head and lifted the raccoon it was holding onto its head, holding it up high. It asked excitedly, "Can I join in? If you take me with you, I'll let you rummage through the trash can in my room."
Prison Temple Wolf: “…………?”
He stared at the bread dog, which looked fluffy and soft in the sunlight, with a puzzled look, and his green eyes revealed a sense of alertness that he himself was not aware of.
Yamamoto Wang didn't notice his strange gaze at all. He just held the raccoon as usual and threw the furry little thing on his back. "Miss Mu, do you think it's okay?"
Morning and evening: The NPC proactively invites the player to his bedroom... and rummage through the trash can. Is there such a good thing in the world?
She had vaguely felt that the attitude of the NPCs on the Vongola side was a bit subtle. Different from the ordinary people in Beika Town, they were closer to Jiner: Jiner thought it was okay because she and he were already very familiar with each other in the "past", while the guardians of the Vongola had only known her for a few days, but it seemed that they had easily accepted the setting that she could turn into a raccoon, turn others into small animals with cooking, and liked to rummage through trash cans.
People like Sawada Tsunayoshi and Gokudera Hayato refused to let her rummage through the trash cans in their rooms, mainly because of instinctive resistance; but when she rummaged through other trash cans in front of them, although they would show an expression of "that's weird, take another look", they rarely stopped her.
It can be said that the ability to accept is quite good.
Compared to them, Yamamoto Takeshi seems to be even more amazing.
Obviously, his core is a mature adult man with a solemn temperament like autumn rain when he draws his sword, but he didn't even bother about turning into a dog. He naturally immersed himself in the identity setting and began to happily be his puppy. When he heard that she wanted to rummage through the trash can, he took the initiative to invite her, wagging his tail and looking sunny as if he was going on a spring outing or adventure... It always felt like everyone was very familiar with each other.
"Because this kind of thing is very common, right? Suddenly growing bigger or smaller, or growing ten years older, or having talking skeletons appear on your body." In response to her confusion, Yamamoto Wang explained as a matter of course, "She just likes to rummage through trash cans. Miss Mu's hobby is just fun, there's nothing wrong with it."
"That baseball idiot is right." Mukudera Lang seemed accustomed to this, his focus completely focused on the previous topic. "There's nothing wrong with rummaging through the trash can... but what's with you inviting a lady to your room to rummage through the trash can? Have you completely lost your mind!"
"Hey... Gokudera is so strict. I'm just curious about what Miss Mu can find in the trash can."
The two large dogs started barking and arguing again. A staff member hurried past with a cart and did not cast any strange glances at the strange group in the corridor, as if everything happening here was normal.
I have a wonderful feeling that I can rummage through the trash can in front of others without being disliked by the NPC - although this seems to lack the thrill of rebellion, it turns out that rummaging through the trash can is still more exciting if you do it secretly.
But then again, if you don't consider the possibility of being dragged out to work, Italy is probably quite livable.
Chaomu pinched his chin with his claws and thought.
Next time I'll sneak in and touch the trash can in my senior brother's bedroom. It's not a one-time deal anyway. I'll come here often in the future. I'll touch other places first. How can I leave my senior brother's bedroom?
The afternoon sun shines through the stained glass and falls on the fur of the small animals. The little raccoon sits on the broad back of the Akita Dog, and its tail sways a little happily. The gray and yellow-white fluffy tail sways gradually at the same frequency, bringing up a small breeze.
"I'll save Yamamoto-kun's trash can for last—anyway, let's head to the unexplored areas ahead!" She swiped at the map, her eyes fixed on the corridor ahead. It looked like an exhibition hall, with glass cabinets lining the edges. "I have a feeling there's a good drop there. Go Yamamoto!"
Upon hearing the command, the Akita Dog immediately unleashed its paws and took off, its starting speed as fast as golden lightning. The nearby Jakusi Wolf couldn't help but chase after it, but after running a few steps, he realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute, that doesn't seem to be the place for this. The family history exhibition hall should be in...?!"
Similar incidents seemed to have occurred frequently before; Heisheng Middle School had undergone numerous remarkable renovations, and the family headquarters was no exception. When designing the training grounds for the students, a certain tutor was known for being quite… "inventive."
The large dog's paws had barely trodden across the seemingly ordinary corridor when the floor tiles snapped and flipped up, the trap biting into the dog's paw like the sharp teeth of a beast. Only thanks to the quick reaction of Yamamoto Wang and Wusi Lang that the trap only caught air.

"Wow...are you Vongola family members always so wary of your own people?" Crossbows were still being fired from both sides of the corridor. Chaomu quickly grabbed Yamamoto's head and forced him to lower his head, dodging the arrows that flashed dangerously with silver light. "This is quite exciting. Does this mean that before we go to read about our family history, we should first reminisce about the good times?"
It seemed like this was the first time she had encountered this kind of adventure level since entering the game. After entering the battle, the skill panel turned into a parkour-like skill interface, with buttons for changing mounts, sprinting, dodging, climbing walls, etc., and the BGM also became quite exciting.
"Normally, there's nothing like this... Mr. Reborn probably wants to test you." Gokudera Wolf jumped over two traps as usual, his posture nimble and agile. "Don't worry, for financial reasons, he shouldn't install explosive traps with high lethality inside the headquarters. Machine gun fire shouldn't be allowed either, otherwise it would cause damage to the walls..."
"Indeed, it was more fun back in school." Yamamoto dodged naturally, as if the way to deal with such sudden attacks was ingrained in his DNA. "Hold on tight, Miss Mu, we're going to charge."
In other words, if it was a place like a playground, would Teacher Reborn still be selling mines in the field, setting up machine guns to shoot at students, and calling it exercise?
Recalling the words "lively yet with a touch of strictness, focusing on the organic combination of theory and practice" written on the teacher introduction page, Chaomu finally realized that something seemed to be wrong: if it was about teaching theory, it seemed that they were not completely untaught; if it was about practice, it seemed that they were indeed practicing now... ?
The comment that "all the students who have received teaching said it was good" seems quite flawed - are the students who didn't say it was good already dead?
She dodged and bounced on the large dog's back, finally understanding why Yamamoto and the others didn't find it strange that players were rummaging through trash cans. After all, this kind of "training" seemed normal to them; their hobby of rummaging through trash cans was practically harmless.
The moment they passed through the corridor, the exhibition hall that had just been before them began to crumble, inch by inch, amidst the twisting cyan flames, stretching away into a cliff-like scene. Chaomu began to wonder if this map design was a bit too fantastical, while the two large dogs calmly leaped directly from the fracture, leaping towards the other end of the ever-receding corridor.
Stimulate.
She held the Akita dog's ears tightly, her golden eyes sparkling.
It’s just that Mr. R’s level design always feels a bit outdated. Isn’t there anything new?
-----------------------
The author has something to say: This is the daily life of a funny battle show, and it seems a bit normal for players to mix in.
It feels like there are new reasons for being stuck every day. You never know what strange place the author will get stuck in (this is what the woman who watched Tom and Jerry and played DMC for a while in order to write the castle adventure said).
