Unspeakable bubbles

In the end, even Kotono unknowingly joined in the fun with everyone.

"what!"

Suddenly, Bubble exclaimed in surprise.

The shadowy creature resembling a small squirrel in her hand gradually faded and soon disappeared.

"It's time," Kotono said.

Bubble looked very reluctant to see the little guys who were just playing with her disappear.

He's about to take the book back.

"If you can't bear to part with this book, how about keeping it for yourself?" Kotono smiled deeply.

"The teacher's book should be returned to him."

Bubble first shook her head, then a flash of inspiration struck her.

"Have it!"

Bubble held the Book of Shadows high and shouted, "Please give me a book that can also summon little guys! I'll pay you!"

"No, that won't do," Kotono couldn't help but chuckle, just as she was about to say something.

The next moment, a thick book emitting an ominous black light appeared in front of Bubble, looking seven parts similar to the Book of Shadows.

Section 129, Chapter 128 (Copy)

"It's here! It's appeared!"

Bubble picked up the book and found that although it looked thick, it had no weight at all.

"Huh, it really appeared."

Kotono and her classmates all gathered around.

"Bubble, let me see." Kotono took the book and began to read it carefully.

After a while, she looked at the bubble staring at her expectantly and said, "This is a copy of the Book of Shadows, isn't it?"

Kotono pondered for a moment, then said, "It stores a lot of power. If you use it sparingly, you can play with the bubble for a long time."

"Hide it quickly!"

The girl shoved the book into Bubble's bag, just as Wallis walked into the classroom.

"Time's up, did everyone have fun?"

“We’ve had a very meaningful time together. Here’s the book back.” Kotono smiled and handed over the Book of Shadows.

"As long as you're happy, as long as you're happy."

Wallis took the book without noticing anything amiss. He tried to persuade Kotono, "You think it's interesting too, right? How about you join the games at the next class meeting?"

"Teacher, I don't really like those dark things."

"Although it's quite enjoyable to see everyone playing with those shadow creatures, I myself have no intention of joining in."

Kotono said calmly, "I'll just watch from the sidelines."

"Hmm, what a pity."

Wallis glanced at Kotono with a hint of regret, already considering other options.

It's true that he came up with this game after careful consideration, but if even one student is dissatisfied, then it's considered unqualified.

This class is a collective, and only games that can bring joy to everyone are good games.

That's the atmosphere at Lily of the Valley: you learn and grow together with your friends while having fun.

This is the fundamental reason why Suzuran is looked down upon by the other two academies, and it is also the place that Wallis, Kazuto, and others are most proud of.

"School's out, everyone go home."

"Bubble, keep trying next time. If you win, I'll lend you the book again."

"Oh, oh," Bubble nodded repeatedly. "Teacher, we've made a deal!"

........................................................

Did something good happen to you today?

In the kitchen, Masumi was chopping vegetables while talking to Bubbles, who was watching TV in the living room.

"Yes, Bubble won first place in the competition during class meeting, and the teacher lent Bubble his book to play with."

"Book?"

For a moment, the image of the teaching textbook flashed into Masumi's mind, and she felt somewhat uneasy.

"Why would a teacher let you play with their textbook? No, textbooks aren't for playing with."

"Not a book for class"

The sound of bubbles came from outside the kitchen: "It's a black, thick book, and many small animals live inside."

"Uh"

Masumi paused in her actions. "Did the teacher perform a magic trick for you?"

"Magic...it shouldn't be."

Bubble felt that it wasn't magic, but something much more amazing.

"Oh, right, Bubble brought back a book. It looks a lot like the teacher's book. I'll show it to Masumi."

Before Masumi could reply, the little girl ran into her room.

"Books, books"

"Got it!" Bubble picked up the black book and ran quickly back to the living room.

Perhaps because she was too excited, the little girl tripped over her own feet and fell halfway down the road.

With one hand supporting her on the ground, Bubble avoided close contact between her face and the floor, but the book she was holding fell to the ground.

That's where the bubble's shadow is.

"Eh"

To Bubble's astonishment, the copy of the Book of Shadows vanished in an instant.

Then, a satisfied 'gurgling' sound came from the shadow of the bubble.

"My book was eaten by the shadow."

The little girl stood up, and then quickly squatted down again, groping for her own shadow.

"I can't eat it! My books, my pets..."

"What's wrong?" Hearing the commotion, Masumi came out of the kitchen and saw Bubbles squatting on the ground looking dejected.

"My book is gone."

"It's alright. What books did you lose? I'll buy them for you this weekend."

"But that's a teacher, um..."

As if remembering something, Bubble's dejected expression disappeared.

“It’s okay,” she shook her head at Masumi. “There’s a class meeting next week, and Bubble will win again.”

That's right, it's okay that the book is missing.

If you guess all the answers correctly in next week's class meeting, you can just summon another copy using Mr. Wallis's book.

"Alright, let's get ready to eat."

Masumi wasn't actually interested in books about animals, but she vaguely guessed that the book touched on mysterious matters.

The mysterious realm... Masumi's profession makes her no stranger to this field.

But it is precisely this state of knowing more than laymen, yet not being an expert, that makes Masumi quite averse to things on the mystical side.

Dangerous, illogical, and inexplicable.

Therefore, do not delve too deeply, you cannot delve too deeply.

"Bubble, I'll take you to visit the neighbors on Sunday."

Masumi changed the subject to something more down-to-earth: "If we bring some snacks, the neighbors will be happy."

"Maybe you'll have a few more playmates by then."

"Okay!"

Bubble was filled with anticipation, thinking, "I wish I could have more friends."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared in Masumi's eyes.

Her job is to guide these talented children onto the right path, and Bubble's positive attitude is undoubtedly what Masumi wants to see most.

"When Uncle Jack has some free time, let's go on a trip together as a family."

Masumi secretly observed Bubbles' expression, wondering if she would be offended by what she had said.

"Travel? Really?"

Masumi's worries were clearly unnecessary; the little girl seemed very happy.

"Um"

Masumi nodded. "However, Uncle Jack has been quite busy lately, so we'll have to wait a while."

"By the way, Bubble, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

"Where is Masumi-neechan?"

"Me? I've always wanted to go to Sien and see what the world's strongest nation is like."

"Sean?"

“Yes, it was a closed country that still practiced a backward feudal lord system.” Masumi’s words revealed an undisguised sense of superiority.
