Chapter 49

????

What a bizarre task!!!

Understanding the most painful memories in the villainess's mind… Isn't this like cutting into someone's heart with a knife? Even if we become friends, we shouldn't do such damaging things!

Is the disappearance of the system to deal with these things?

Ifia was very speechless about the new task. The more she thought about it, the more it didn't make sense. She decided to stop and argue with the system.

[System, the content of the first task is to become friends with Amelia, I can understand that. But the second task is too bizarre, can't you do something normal in the mortal realm?]

[Host, after the system's review, there is no abnormality in the task.]

The system's formulaic response made Ifia roll her eyes directly. She would definitely be late for the first class.

But it's okay, she can afford it!

[Are you asking me to explore the painful things about Amelia to break the friendship I've just managed to build? Humans don't like to expose their wounds, they prefer to silently lick their wounds. Maybe there are people who want to confide, but that's based on a deep emotional connection!]

[I've known Amelia for too short a time, and the second task makes me feel very impolite towards her!]

[Even if it's a system, it's not ethical to expose someone's scars like this!]

Ifia began to enumerate the absurdity of the second task, arguing logically and trying to get the system to change the task content!

On the system's side, there was also helplessness. Ifia made sense, but the villainess is not a human!

She is a demon.

Do we need to grant human rights to demons too?

Oh, the foolish host, sympathizing with demons, but that will lead to a lifetime of unhappiness!

Knowing the most painful things about the villainess is also a way to get the idiotic host closer in various ways.

When you know the other person's pain, it's a perfect opportunity to subtly mend their heartache, making it an excellent chance to enter their inner world!

As for why the tasks aren't straightforwardly announced, it's because the system doesn't trust Ifia, the idiot!

It always feels like the foolish host will mess things up.

So, it's better to take it slow, step by step, to conquer.

The tasks the system originally wanted to issue were not the current ones. Instead, they were more dangerous. However, after the foolish host spent a night in the villainess's room, observing her attitude towards the host, the system thought it could take a different direction.

A path less traveled.

In the records of a hundred collapses in this world, there was once a host relying on the Sea King's adept fishing skills, trying to enchant and seduce the villainess with outstanding looks and figure, making her surrender beneath their pomegranate skirt and solving the problem of human destruction.

After all, this world would be destroyed, and the sole reason lay with the villainess.

As long as she was tamed emotionally, all other problems would be solved.

It was a good idea.

But…

From the first collapse of the world to now, not a single host has succeeded!

Their plans to seduce the villainess can't be said to be bad. Instead, due to their exquisite skills, they mastered various styles like green tea/white lotus/romantic melancholy/scum woman, and many more. There was always one that should have worked!

In reality, none of them succeeded. All failed.

Their first step in approaching the villainess always ended in failure.

The reason is simple, the villainess is a sensitive and cold-blooded person. Even if she deceives and manipulates humans, she won't let them invade her life. Instead, she treats them as amusing objects during her leisure.

It is precisely because the villainess is difficult to approach that the system later abandoned the path of seducing the target.

However, the situation is different now!!!

The foolish host it's bound to happens to be favored by the villainess.

Perhaps, those systems and hosts that have already perished never imagined that the villainess would have such preferences!

So, if there is a ready-made foolish host, the system would scold itself for being a big fool!

All the help it provides to the host is based on the condition of completing the tasks.

The more benefits the host gains, the greater the cost she has to pay.

After all, there is no free lunch in this world…

[Host, it's like this, now there are two choices]

[One is to save the world, prevent human destruction! The other is to know the painful things about the villainess]

[Choose one, host, make your choice!]

For Ifia, such a choice made her feel speechless, extremely speechless… Why does it always come back to saving the world!!!

She already said it's impossible, just let it be!

Ifia temporarily didn't want to deal with the system. She simply didn't continue speaking but instead walked towards the direction of the classroom… As for the system's tasks? She'll deal with that later!

After barely making it to the classroom when the bell rang, after sitting down, Ifia started daydreaming. Although she decided not to take on the system's tasks for now, thoughts began to stir in Ifia's mind.

Could someone as perfect as Amelia also experience painful things?

It's really unexpected!

Sometimes, Ifia feels that her curiosity is too strong. She always wants to know the answers to everything.

This is completely contrary to her lazy personality!

Of course, if things are too troublesome or dangerous, Ifia would personally cut off her curiosity… After all, there are countless paths, but safety comes first.

"Ifia, why do you look so down today? Is there something bothering you?"

Lucy, her desk mate, happened to notice Ifia's troubled expression after finishing today's homework. She asked with some concern, prompting Ifia to come back to her senses. Ifia smiled and shook her head to indicate that everything was fine.

Seeing that Ifia wasn't willing to speak, Lucy didn't continue to inquire but instead changed the topic.

"Ifia, there's a new dish in the first-floor cafeteria today. It's said to be mysterious Eastern cuisine, and the price is not expensive. Do you want to go and try it?"

"Eastern cuisine?"

Lucy's suggestion piqued Ifia's interest. Since she didn't have lunch plans with Amelia, Ifia nodded without hesitation, ready to see what kind of Eastern cuisine it was.

Immediately, when Ifia asked Jessica if she wanted to join, Jessica regretfully stated that she had a family gathering for lunch and couldn't go together.

In response, Ifia could only say they would go together next time. Later, with Jessica's envious gaze, as soon as the school bell rang for the end of the day, Ifia immediately grabbed Lucy and rushed to the cafeteria like a wild horse unleashed.

However, Ifia felt that they were quite fast, only to find out that someone arrived even earlier than them.

Looking at the long queue, Ifia and Lucy could only patiently wait in line. However, the queue was moving impressively fast. When it was Ifia's turn, the cafeteria was already packed.

After the cafeteria staff served Ifia's meal, she walked to the side to wait for Lucy, holding her tray. Meanwhile, she looked down at the peculiar dishes on her tray, her eyes full of confusion.

It looked like stir-fried onions, but there were green leafy vegetables and yellow ginger???

What kind of bizarre Eastern cuisine is this!

"Oh, my goodness, what are you, a commoner, doing? You've ruined my clothes!"

As Ifia was pondering, a sudden commotion came from the front. When she looked up, she saw her roommate, Irene, standing helplessly a few steps away. Irene's tray had spilled quite a bit of food, and the girl across from her, looking at her stained dress, was furious, her noble fan squeezed into a deformed shape.

Seeing this scene, Ifia exclaimed, and she was sure this was a plot point from the novel!

Next, the aristocrat bullies the commoner, the female lead gets bullied, and then the male lead dazzlingly appears~

Thinking about the clichéd novel plot, Ifia chuckled to herself. However, when she noticed her gaze meeting with Irene's, and Irene's eyes lit up with a look of finding a savior, Ifia suddenly felt something was off.

A strong sense of impending doom hit her, and she needed to run quickly!

"Ifia, please help me!"
