Unspeakable bubbles

"No, the animals didn't disappear that day. It's just that the mental energy Wallis used only allowed them to stay in the mortal world for a very short time."

Bubble nodded in relief. "By the way, Kotono, I was holding the kitten in my arms, but it disappeared after I came out."

"That's a bit troublesome."

"Because the rules of the world are different, it's unlikely that your little pets will appear in the real world."

Kotono added, "Bubble, you're already a lord, you can't take advantage of loopholes like Wallis did."

"It's alright, when Bubbles miss them, they just run into the shadows and play with them." The little girl seemed very optimistic.

"Bubble, be careful!"

Kotono warned with considerable concern, "Shadow worlds of the same size can occasionally connect."

"Once the two worlds connect, the lords of both sides will fight to the death unless one side voluntarily submits."

"Eh"

Seeing the girl's worry, Kotono comforted her, "World docking is a very rare event; you might not even encounter it once in your lifetime."

"Besides, your world is so small now that you don't need to worry about connecting to a shadow world of the same size."

"Hehe, maybe the lord over there is a cat or a dog. Then you'll have another pet."

"only,"

Kotono emphasized, "From now on, during class meetings, you can just play with the Book of Shadows, but please don't summon copies to feed your shadows."

Section 131, Chapter 130: The Primordial Jewel

After listening to Kotono's well-intentioned advice, Bubble nodded seriously.

The little girl disliked troublesome matters, and since continuing to charge her shadow might lead to something bad, she decided to give up.

"I see"

"Yes, some powerful Shadow Lords are extremely difficult to deal with; even Mother has suffered losses from them before."

Kotono said somewhat unhappily, "If possible, it's best not to get involved with those shady characters."

"But all small animals are cute, don't you think so, Kotono?" Bubble countered.

"...Only a small portion; most shadow creatures are quite annoying."

"It's okay, Bubble's House is full of cute little creatures, Kotono can come and play with us."

Faced with Bubble's expectant gaze, Kotono hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Then, let's do it another day. Small animals should be fine."

"By the way, Kotono, why don't you come over to Paopao's house to play?" the little girl suddenly said.

"Family?"

"Bubble and Masumi-neechan's house!"

Kotono was quite pleased, thinking, "This is the first time I've received an invitation like this."

"Thank you, Bubble. But, can they come along too?"

Bubble turned its head and found that its classmates were all looking at it.

"Everyone is Bubble's friend, welcome!"

"We can go to our friend's house now."

"very nice"

A memorable day

"Bubble..."

"Everyone seems happy." Kotono smiled. "I've heard that humans have a habit of bringing gifts when visiting friends. Bubble, is there anything you'd like?"

"Well"

Bubble waved her hand: "Anything Kotono gives is fine. Even if there are no gifts, it's fun for everyone to play Bubble together."

"Let me think about it some more. Let's go and apply to the teacher first."

Kotono and the others originally lived at the school, and they needed Wallis's permission to go out.

Inside the office, Wallis stared in surprise at the large group of students who walked in.

"What wind blew by today? Kotono and the others actually came to find me on their own initiative."

"Everyone wants to go to Bubble's house to play after school, and we want to ask the teacher for a permit," Kotono said, revealing her purpose.

Upon hearing this, Wallis showed a pleased expression.

Wallis, a student in Kotono's class, was very worried. He had tried many methods before to open their hearts.

However, Wallis never succeeded.

Kotono and the other students remained immersed in their own little world, seemingly uninterested in the outside world.

"That's a good thing, no problem."

He added, "But we need to get Bubble's guardian's consent first, and I'll be going too."

"Don't worry, I won't bother you. It's just that as your teacher, I have to be responsible for your safety."

While Wallis and Kotono were talking, no one noticed that Bubble's shadow suddenly underwent a strange change.

The lifeless shadow, seemingly devoid of life, began to stir restlessly towards the Book of Shadows on the desk, almost as if it were trying to move on its own.

"Hello, is this Ms. Masumi? It's like this... You agree? That's wonderful."

Wallis conducted the phone communication very efficiently, completely unaware that his precious child was already in a major crisis.

"No problem, Ms. Masumi and I have already discussed it. You can go out today, but you must be back at school before nine o'clock."

"Thank you, teacher. We're going back now."

"Pay close attention in the afternoon classes, and don't let things tonight distract you from your studies."

Wallis opened the door for them personally, saying, "If there's anything you'd like to discuss with the teacher in the future, you're welcome to come anytime."

One by one, the students walked out of the office, with Bubble walking at the very back because of her short legs.

In an instant, her shadow lunged toward the Book of Shadows, and the heavy book quickly melted into the black shadow.

Then, Bubble's shadow took out a black book that looked exactly the same from its body and placed it on the table.

"what"

The little girl suddenly felt full. She touched her stomach, somewhat puzzled.

"Bubble, does your stomach hurt?" Wallis noticed Bubble's unusual condition.

"Teacher, it seems like Bubble ate too much at lunch."

"Haha, Bubble, even though you're young, you still need to be careful, or it'll be too late to regret it later," Wallis said with a sigh.

"Back in the day, I was a man with six-pack abs. Sigh, time waits for no man!"

"Teacher, you're bragging."

"Don't believe me? I have... um?"

Wallis suddenly felt a pang of panic, as if he had lost something important.

He involuntarily turned around, and the Book of Shadows was still safely on the table.

Wallis was still uneasy, so he extended his mental tendrils to make contact with the Book of Shadows.

A familiar feeling welled up inside him, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"teacher?"

"Oh, I'm getting old. I was just lost in thought."

"Then I'm leaving."

"Okay, pay attention in the next class."

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

Sorry to bother you.

"Hello"

"Excuse me, sorry to bother you."

Hello, Auntie.

Masumi, who had been all smiles, suddenly frowned.

"Sigh, you're so insensible, you should call me 'sister'."

Wallis quickly chuckled and tapped the boy who had spoken earlier on the head. "Say hello again."

"Hello, sister!"

"Yes, Bubble's classmates are all good kids."

"Go to your room and play first, Bubble is already waiting for you."

Just then, the door to the room quietly opened a crack.

"Come in quickly!" the little girl waved to Kotono and the others.

"Ms. Wallis, how is Bubble doing at school?" Masumi asked with concern as she served two cups of tea.

"Bubble is a good kid; he's not the kind of child who gives teachers a headache."

The two adults were talking in the living room when Kotono and a group of friends rushed into the room, making the room suddenly crowded.

"Bubble, what's that?"

Kotono looked at the black rabbit doll that Bubble was holding and showed an interested expression.

"Ah, its name is Rabbit, it's Sasha's little treasure that she gave to Bubble!"
