Unspeakable bubbles

"As you said, the Undead Legion cannot appear in the world yet."

"What if she stays in the secret realm and doesn't come out? Even if she really disregards her safety and runs out of the secret realm immediately, I advise you to leave as soon as possible." The old voice revealed an unconcealable weakness.

'The King of Terror is not someone you can kill single-handedly.'

'Although she may seem like just a cute little girl, if you take chances because of that, you're just asking for trouble!'

“Alright, I understand, Lady Carmen.”

Andy still trusted Carmen, and since Carmen was so adamant in her opposition, he decided not to insist.

'I'm not Carmen anymore. From now on, just call me the Gardener.'

"...Gardener, we are not completely defeated yet. I am the heir of the Griffin family, and the power of the Kingdom of Sain far exceeds your imagination."

Andy said in a deep voice, "According to the description in the journal, the Undead Legion you lead is very strong and can be called a legendary legion."

"But the Kingdom of Sain has more than one legendary legion!"

"If they still think they can act with impunity as before, they are sorely mistaken."

"Oh, that's good, that's good."

"Hurry back to your family. With my help, it won't be long before you can shed the title of first heir."

Andy was overjoyed. He pulled on the reins and said, "With your help, the Griffin family will surely be revitalized!"

Shortly after they left, a little girl appeared on the road, holding a rabbit doll and wearing a ruby ​​around her neck.

Section 163, Chapter 162: Ruby

"Bubble!"

"Forget about the hat, come back quickly."

"Did you hear that, Bubble?"

Masumi took a breath; she had searched almost the entire town of Carmen, but still couldn't find her little girl.

"Could he have run off outside?" Jack glanced at Masumi and said hesitantly.

As expected, Masumi looked worried. It was so dark outside; how dangerous it was for the little girl to run out of town alone.

"Carmen Town is quite safe. I'll go find the people in town to help right away. If Bubble encounters any danger, it would be a significant blow to Carmen Town, which relies heavily on tourism. They will assist us."

"Sister Masumi! Uncle Jack!"

Just then, the sound of bubbles came from afar.

Masumi breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the little girl running towards her carrying a rabbit plush toy.

"Bubble, where did you go? Uncle Jack and I were so worried about you."

"Bubble went to find the hat."

The little girl thought for a moment and then asked, "How long has it been since Masumi-neechan saw Bubbles?"

"You still say that? You've been missing for almost two hours." Masumi said sternly. "It's just a hat. Uncle Jack will buy you another one. What if you get into danger?"

"Well, it's good that Bubble is back safe and sound. Let's go back," Jack said from the side.

Masumi rubbed her eyes. "Bubble, don't suddenly disappear like that again. Masashi-neechan will worry."

'Your Majesty, is she your sister?' Carmen's voice rang in Bubble's ear.

"Okay, Bubble understands, I won't run around anymore."

While answering Masumi's questions, Bubble connected to Carmen's 'communication channel'.

'Masumi isn't Bubble's older sister; Sasa is.'

'Masumi is Masumi's older sister!'

"Oh, I see. But since it's not my sister, Your Majesty, please maintain soul communication with me and don't let those two humans know of my existence."

"Why? Bubble wants to introduce Carmen to Masumi."

'My lord, the skeletal army is not by your side now, we must be even more careful.'

'But, Masumi-neechan isn't a bad person, why does Bubble need to be careful?'

'Well…' Carmen hesitated for a moment before giving a perfect answer.

"Actually, my subordinate has been in the secret realm for too long and is now very afraid of contact with outsiders. This is a psychological barrier, and it won't get better anytime soon."

"Then there's nothing we can do, Carmen. Isn't it tough not being able to communicate with others?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll be fine in about a year. Besides, I don't want to talk to those humans anyway."

Even though Bubble was wearing a large ruby ​​around her neck, Masumi and Jack pretended not to see it. The little girl's long silence only made Masumi think that Bubble was reflecting on her actions.

"Okay, Bubble, just be more careful next time."

Masumi softened her tone and took Bubble's hand: "Let's go back and get some sleep. We need to be well-rested so we can have more fun tomorrow."

"Ok!"

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

"Masumi, let's go to Carmen Town again sometime next time we have the chance."

On the way back, Jack said from the driver's seat.

He was generally satisfied with the trip to Carmen, except that Bubble got lost for a while, everyone had a great time.

"Bubble, do you think Carmen Town is fun?" Masumi asked with a smile.

"It's fun..." Bubble said weakly.

"Bubble, are you tired of playing? Lie down in the back for a bit."

"Jack, slow down, drive carefully!"

"learn."

The little girl looked dazed, but she wasn't tired from playing.

"Your Majesty, this four-wheeled thing is quite interesting; it looks a lot like an old invention from the past."

"This is an off-road vehicle; it goes fast and can go very far."

'Oh, Your Majesty, where shall we go next?'

'Back to the Federation'

'The Federation? Is it a human kingdom? How strong is its army? Is its king wise?'

'The Federation has no king, only members of parliament.'

'A councilor? What's that? Does the king no longer call himself a king, but a councilor?'

"No, some countries have kings, but the federation doesn't."

How can government affairs be handled without a king?

"Councilors, well, let's have all six of us discuss this together. Actually, Bubble doesn't quite understand either."

'The decentralization of royal power has both advantages and disadvantages.'

'Your Majesty, is the Federation's strength among the top in human society?'

'The Federation is very powerful.'

'Haha, that's good. We need to find a powerful one from the start!' Carmen thought to himself that after the Skeleton Legion descended, he would first target the Federation.

After pacifying the Federation and accumulating strength, they declared war on humanity!

'Your Majesty, what is your current status in the Federation?'

'Bubble is a student.'

'Students? What are those?'

"Yes, that's right, a student who studies hard."

'Oh, then...'

'...'

Bubble yawned incessantly in the back seat. She had discovered a serious problem—Carmen was a chatterbox! And a very high-level chatterbox!

Ever since she put on the ruby, Carmen's voice has never stopped in Bubble's ears.

They talk about it during the day and at night.

At first it was fine, but after a few days, even the good-natured Bubble couldn't take it anymore.

She felt like there were many flies buzzing around her ears. The girl waved her hand, but the flies didn't go away, and the sounds in her ears continued.

'Carmen'

"What is it, Your Majesty?"

"Bubble's tired. When we get back to the Federation, Bubble will use his allowance to buy you lots of books."

"Books? That's wonderful, Your Majesty, but please don't buy me fairy tales."

'I need books on current affairs, history, and military matters, and also...'

'Carmen, if Bubble doesn't let you turn the pages, how can you read the book by yourself?'

"Of course! Your Majesty, don't underestimate me."

"Then, Bubble will buy you lots and lots of books when we get to the Federation. Carmen, can you read quietly by yourself?"

"No problem, but I'm quite particular about the environment. Reading requires a spacious place."

'A spacious place? Carmen likes spacious places?' Bubble shook her little braids.

"Yes, and one more thing, it's best to have a dark environment. Sigh, this is a side effect of spending so much time with bones; I've become someone who prefers darkness to light."

'Oh, Bubble has a great place!'

'It was spacious but dark there, and there were some small animals.'
