Unspeakable bubbles

The King of the Azure Sky usually charges recklessly, and when the chaotic creatures in the fray see it from afar, they all bow down in awe.

Sometimes they would encounter lords who were in a bloodthirsty frenzy. Instead of avoiding them, these lords would attack Bubbles and the others.

At this moment, the King of the Azure Sky displayed the unparalleled power of a Great Lord, sending those lords truly into the embrace of chaos with a single claw strike.

Occasionally, when it encounters the territory of a powerful lord, it will detour.

There are fewer conflicts between great lords, since they are on different levels.

'Avoiding some places is unavoidable; not all great lords are above me, it's just... in your human terms, it's mutual respect.'

Section 173, Chapter 172: The Pearl Bracelet

After flying very, very far, Bubble looked around and saw another place where war had broken out.

The little girl had seen plenty of fights along the way, but this time, Bubble still took it to heart.

For no particular reason, it's simply because one of the chaotic creatures on one side looks...like a human?

Upon closer inspection, the little girl was surprised to find that she actually knew the leader of one of the groups.

"Sea Fight!" Bubble shouted loudly.

At this moment, Haidou is fighting a Chaos Lord that looks exactly like a ball, except that it has a pair of eyes.

He was already at a disadvantage, and when he heard a familiar voice calling him, he couldn't help but be distracted.

With a 'bang,' the boy's entire body was sent flying.

"Damn it, I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve."

Haidou didn't believe that Bubble had actually run to the Chaos Sea; he only thought that his opponent had been hiding some kind of deceptive trick.

His right hand trembled unnaturally as he began to plan his retreat.

The Chaos Sea is almost boundless; it's not worth risking yourself for a piece of land.

This is what is meant by a strategic retreat.

'Do you recognize it?'

"Yes, Kaito is Bubble's friend."

'oh'

The King of the Azure Sky swooped down. With a single claw, it flattened a ball-shaped creature.

"Uh"

Haidou was stunned. He had been so focused on the battle with the enemy that he hadn't even noticed a great lord perched high up.

'Um? '

The King of the Azure Sky looked surprised. It raised its paw, and the ball-shaped lord rapidly expanded as if it had been inflated, before returning to its original shape in a short while.

With another slap, the King of the Azure Sky flattened it.

After raising its paw, it looked at the intriguing lord with great interest.

Sure enough, the ball quickly returned to its original shape.

The King of the Azure Sky grabbed it and examined it closely.

'So that's how it is'

A moment later, its voice, as if suddenly realizing something, rang in Bubble's ear.

It turned the ball-shaped lord around, and then plucked a short, transparent hair from the struggling Chaos Lord.

The sound of air leaking rang out, and after the King of the Azure Sky flattened it once more, it finally fell silent.

'Let's string my tears together and make a bracelet to wear on our wrists.'

Seeing that Bubble nodded, the big bird took off.

In mid-air, the little girl hurriedly called out to the stunned Haidou, "Haidou, Bubble is about to start school, I'll come find you to play again next time!"

"Bubble, bubble..."

By the time the boy looked up, the little girl had already disappeared on the big bird.

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

Today is the first day of school at Suzuran High School. Maekawa Kazuto wanders around the empty classroom, feeling very heavy-hearted.

There were supposed to be nine students here, but none of them have come.

He sighed, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in his heart.

'Kotono and Aya will be waiting in the classroom as usual for class. You actually have such a fantasy? Kazuto, you're still too naive.'

The kidnapping of Bubbles by Kotono and her group is a very complicated incident, even involving a true Chaos Lord-level being.

Based on people's understanding of the Seven Ring Tower's practices, this kidnapping case will definitely be suppressed.

He himself was a high-ranking member of the organization, but he could only accept many things passively.

'Masumi, Jack...'

Thinking of his two close friends, he felt very uncomfortable.

Just then, the scenery in front of him gradually became blurry.

No, it's not that the scenery is getting blurry, it's that space is being distorted!

Kazuto Maekawa took a few steps back, and under his wary gaze, a little girl jumped out of the distorted space.

Goodbye, Aunt Elisa!

The little girl waved to the Great Lord of the Chaotic Sea: "Bubble really likes the pearl bracelet you gave me!"

As they stared at the space gradually returning to normal, a surge of emotion welled up inside them.

He keenly realized that an extremely terrifying being was moving away.

After a while, Maekawa wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked at Bubble, who was obediently waiting for class, and said with a helpless expression, "Bubble, you have a day off today."

"Come on, tell your uncle, where have you been these past few days?"

After sending a message to Jack, Maekawa Kazuto led the little girl toward the office.

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

"So, Kotono and the others kidnapped Bubble to a deserted island, and then had Bubble kill them?"

Ninomiya Sui's voice came from the other end of the phone.

He gave a brief "hmm" response, then added, "It looks like some kind of ceremony was performed."

"Okay, a ritual, another troublesome ritual, I don't know what kind of ritual it is."

"Thankfully, the little girl returned safely, and Kotono, that big trouble, will not reappear."

“Ah Sui,”

"Ha, the matter has been resolved without us having to worry about it. This is the first time I've ever encountered such a good thing."

“Ah Sui…”

"Well, since everything's alright, then I..."

Where is the big bird?

He asked in a deep voice, "About that big bird that Bubble mentioned, Ah Sui, don't you have any thoughts about it?"

"Kazuto, what do you want to say?"

"That bird, according to Bubble's description, isn't it... isn't it?"

"Alright!" Ninomiya Sui's forceful tone left everyone speechless.

"It's just a young girl's one-sided account. Are you trying to create panic? I ask you, did you see it with your own eyes?"

"No, but I..."

"That's right!"

"Let's leave it at that; pursuing this further won't benefit anyone."

"..."

The two remained silent for a long time before Ninomiya Sui finally broke the silence: "That little girl can't stay in Suzuran any longer."

"Although objectively speaking, she was just an innocent victim, there were just too many abnormal things happening around her."

"Lily of the Valley's mystery is probably not enough to suppress her. There's also my Unicorn and a person. You can choose one for her."

"Unification by force." Without much thought, Kazuhiro made his choice.

“However, Ah Sui, if that big bird really is… I mean, if Bubble is connected to that kind of being,”

"Could it be that this mere little girl's mystery is so strong that the great lord would willingly act as her guide, carrying her on a few-day tour to that indescribable place?"

"It's impossible for a human to do that."

"That big bird is just a powerful chaotic creature with spatial abilities, and it just so happens that its appearance is similar to the King of the Azure Sky."

"As for the various strange phenomena that Bubble saw, it's easy to explain. It's normal for ordinary people to have all sorts of hallucinations after being in contact with chaotic creatures for a long time."

"I don't want to delve into it because I don't want to have even the slightest connection with that beast in any way. It's not that I think that big bird is the King of the Blue Sky."

"As for the person, although I feel there's no need to say more, but that pearl bracelet..."

"I know, I won't move."

He said with some dissatisfaction, "I'm an elite member of the Seventh Ring Tower, after all. I know that this kind of thing is off-limits."

"Ha, I was worrying for nothing. Well then, I'll leave Masumi to you. Bye!"

Without saying anything to the person, she quickly hung up the phone.

He wore a bitter smile, but there was still something he couldn't let go of in his heart.

How could a 'powerful' chaotic creature, existing in a different space, give me such a sense of invincibility?
