The castle was incredibly large.

So much so that Amy had to be careful not to get lost.

“Okay. If you get lost, press this. Then Chen or I will go find you.”

Amy handed me a small machine.

The little bear paw-shaped machine had squeaky buttons.

Feeling strangely addicted, I pressed the button repeatedly.

Bam-! Bam-! Bam-!

A strange sound came from the bear paw button.

“Don’t press it now.”

Amy muttered as she took out her cell phone.

When I pressed this button, it seemed like a signal was sent to Amy’s phone.

“Can’t you just stay quiet?”

Amy asked one last time.

I shook my head and answered.

“I’ll be back after playing for a bit!”

It was so sad to come into such a wonderful castle and just sit there.

I wanted to explore this place.

The bag on his back was full of snacks to eat later.

The number of chocolates you can eat today is 5.

There are two jellies.

There were four candies.

I put it all in my bag.

Shine and Rain were standing next to me.

Their bags contained a similar amount of snacks to what I had packed.

“Rain. Can you look after the kids?”

“Trust me!”

Lane confidently answers Amy’s question.

But Amy had an unpleasant expression on her face.

She took the bear paw button out of her pocket and handed it to Shine, and gave it to Lane.

“Here you go.”

“Yeah!”

Lane put the bear paw button in his pocket.

Amy and Victor still looked busy.

I don’t know why Rain is so free, but it’s a good thing he gets to play with us.

“Let’s go!”

Amy’s house exploration with three people.

We left the room curiously.

“You have to be back before lunch?”

I could hear Amy’s worried voice behind me, but I waved my hand and answered.

“Yes!”

I stroked the flowing one-piece dress draped over my body.

I wore the clothes that Ferman had sent me that had a relatively plain feel, but they were still clothes that I didn’t get used to.

My legs feel so empty.

I pulled down the hem of my skirt.

“Trust me because I know exactly where everything is!”

Rain took the lead and started walking.

As I walked down the long hallway, I encountered many people.

They were all walking quietly.

People pulling large carts, people cleaning all over the mansion.

And even people moving large loads of laundry.

“This is a library!”

“Library?”

The place where we stopped together was in front of a large door.

The large door had a large lion head statue, similar to that in Perman’s office.

Lane stretched out his hand with a confident expression.

The door opens slowly.

What was visible through the gap was a huge number of bookshelves.

The bookshelf was filled to the brim with thick books.

The thick smell of books brings back old memories.

“Is this a library?”

“Actually, I don’t know the official name. I just call it a library because there are a lot of books.”

I like reading books, but I don’t have time to read books these days.

The time allowed for us is until lunch.

The goal for this time was to explore this entire place as much as possible.

“Okay. Check.”

I took my sketchbook out of my bag and started drawing a map.

As you exit Amy’s room and walk down the long hallway, you’ll find yourself in a huge library.

The library sign depicts a large book.

Amy’s room is a big pink heart.

Ferman’s office has a blue star painted on it.

“Next!”

We turned towards our next destination.

Go through numerous rooms and down the stairs.

So the place we arrived at was a room filled with art pieces on display.

“This is the art hall!”

“Art Hall?”

Rain explained again loudly.

“Actually, I don’t know the official name! I just call it that because there are a lot of art pieces there!”

“Rain may not actually know much.”

Shine whispered softly next to me.

I nodded slightly without Rain noticing.

Anyway, this time I drew a picture in my sketchbook.

What would be a good painting to symbolize art?

I was lost in thought.

“Um…”

Thought. Thought.

Yes, just draw a person who thinks.

I drew a crooked human figure.

The way he was sitting looked like someone sitting on a toilet, but it didn’t matter because as long as I could recognize him, it was a fine map.

“Can I come in?”

I entered the room cautiously, holding the sketchbook in my arms.

The wide open space was filled with displays of incredibly expensive-looking items.

“I’ve been here before, but no one said anything.”

I didn’t know it from outside, but there was an inexplicable sense of discomfort inside the room.

I felt a little reluctant and my hair stood on end.

“I don’t like this place.”

I left the room.

The castle was incredibly large.

There are so many that one sketchbook cannot contain them all.

“Let’s take a short break.”

My hands started to hurt from working so hard on the map.

The three of us sat down next to each other on the steps leading down the hallway and started taking snacks out of our bags.

Chocolate, candy, and jelly.

All kinds of sweet things poured out.

“Rain. Did you bring it?”

“Yeah!”

Rain answered my question confidently.

She took a large plastic bottle out of her bag.

Inside was a cold cola.

“Thank you!”

Amy allowed snacks, but not cola.

That’s why I asked Lane.

Ask Amy to get you some cola without telling you.

Rain readily granted my request.

I grabbed Lane’s hand and shook it roughly.

Naturally curved eyes and upward-turning corners of the mouth.

Laughter flowed out of his mouth as if the wind had escaped.

“Ugh…”

Rain looked at me laughing, then bit his lip and looked away.

“No one there?”

I held the cola in my arms and looked around.

This was Amy’s house.

And that means you can consider everyone working here as under Amy.

If Amy ever caught me drinking cola, I was sure that the number of chocolates I was allowed would be greatly reduced.

“There’s no one.”

Shine looked around and answered.

I sighed in relief and put the bottle of cola in my mouth.

The cool cola went down my throat.

The strong carbonation irritated my throat, but I didn’t open my mouth.

I endure it to the limit and only then do I wear it.

At that moment, an uncontrollable exclamation escaped my mouth.

“Kuei~”

Eyes tightly shut to resist the thrill of carbonation.

The cola bottle that had been taken from his mouth was soon sucked into Shine’s hand.

As I was shivering from the tingling sensation, Shine put the tip of the plastic bottle in her mouth.

Hap- Her small mouth moved as if it was slurping, and she drank the cola inside.

“Over there. Shine.”

“Hmm.”

Shine answered without taking her mouth off the mouth of the bottle.

I observed her strange behavior and asked her.

“Don’t you drink cola?”

“Hmm.”

When he first took a coke from me, I thought Shine wanted to drink it.

But that didn’t seem to be the case.

She just held the bottle to her mouth and slurped.

The contents inside were not reduced at all.

Sigh-

Shine asked me as she took a sip from the bottle’s mouth.

“Jeff, do you want a drink?”

A transparent thread stretched out from Shine’s mouth.

I nodded and answered.

“Yeah.”

It’s cola, which I don’t usually drink.

It was good to drink as much as I could while I still had time.

Shine returned the cola to me in return for my answer.

“Yes.”

The opening of the plastic bottle I received looked a little damp.

I looked at the entrance with a subtle expression on my face.

“Aren’t you drinking?”

I started to worry without even being able to answer Shine’s question.

Should I clean the entrance?

Or should I just drink it?

Shine just put the drink I was drinking in her mouth, so it’s right for me to do the same, right?

But it looks a little, no, a lot, wet and sticky.

“Jeff. If you don’t drink now, Amy might catch you.”

“Oh. Yeah.”

At Shine’s words, I quickly opened my mouth and bit the mouth of the bottle.

As I expected, a slightly sticky and moist feeling filled my mouth.

But that only lasted a moment, as the cola that poured out of the bottle soon swept away that feeling.

The cola had a faint scent of shine.

Gulp gulp – When I had emptied half of my cola, I turned my head at the intense gaze I felt from the side.

Large body.

Fluffy fur.

Strong looking legs.

The sole of his foot appears larger than Victor’s fist.

With floppy ears and a tail that towers over the sky.

What is this?

Thoughts flow slowly.

As I stared blankly at the unfamiliar creature that had suddenly appeared, the furry creature’s mouth slowly began to open.

What came out of the slightly open mouth was a long, pink tongue.

bruise!

“Eww!”

When the furry opened its mouth and made a noise, Rain jumped up in surprise.

I was quite surprised too.

I grabbed Rain and hid him behind me, blocking his path.

This guy! He’s a huge dog!

No, it was too big to be called a puppy, so calling it a dog would be more accurate.

“It’s a dog!”

bruise!

As I shouted, the furry one answered.

Boom boom – The long tail shook as if spinning.

“What the. It was Chuchu.”

Lane sighed and stepped forward, as if he knew the dog’s name.

The furry creature called Chuchu also acted as if he knew Rain.

Rain’s small hand reached out, and Chuchu, who came to her side, put his head into Rain’s hand.

“That dog’s name is Chuchu?”

“Yeah. It’s a cute puppy.”

“It doesn’t look like a puppy?”

It was definitely not a puppy, as it was bigger than Rain.

“This guy has grown so much. He used to be smaller than me!”

Rain stroked Chuchu’s head roughly.

Rain seemed to be jealous of the tall Chuchu.

Chuchu’s eyes, covered in long fur, were slightly revealed.

Chuchu’s gaze was directed straight at Rain’s bag.

“Is Chuchu the dog you raise here?”

“Yeah. Mr. Ferman is raising it.”

It was the moment when Rain turned his head to answer my question.

Chuchu, who was looking at Rain’s bag, moved at an unbelievable speed for its huge body.

Snout extended forward with body lowered rapidly.

The wide-open mouth bit into Lane’s chick bag.

Rain opened his mouth in surprise at the sight.

I too reached out my hand in confusion.

But Chuchu was faster.

Tadadak-!

Quick footsteps were heard, befitting the large body.

Chuchu started running away with Rain’s bag in his mouth.

I could already see Chuchu’s back as he ran to the end of the hallway.

“Oh no!”

Lane screamed and fell to the ground.

Lane had her bag stolen by a dog.
