Unspeakable bubbles

Sakakibara Ikuko strode towards Eiji. "You've become even more sleazy these past few days."

"...How did you notice me?"

"Are you stupid? Out of all the students who come to the cafeteria to eat, you're the only one wearing a hat. How do you think I noticed you?"

Eiji's lips twitched, and he swiftly took off his hat.

"You teamed up with that guy?" Yu Zi sat down opposite him and glanced in Guang Yan's direction.

"I somewhat regret this decision," Eiji said calmly.

"hehe."

"Your friend is so young, you really can't tell she's a superstar."

Eiji said in a strange tone, "I originally thought I was a genius, but I never expected to broaden my horizons today."

"Stop being sarcastic! Just say what you mean!"

“…Yuko, even geniuses need time to grow.”

"so what?"

"So? Don't you feel guilty that you put that little girl in danger of dying because of your actions?"

To Eiji's surprise, Ikuko did not fly into a rage, nor did she lose her composure or become flustered.

“You don’t understand.” Yu Zi shook her head.

“Two years. I’m confident I can completely surpass you within two years.” Yu Zi held up two fingers.

Ignoring Eiji's disdainful look, she continued, "But even if I had ten years, I wouldn't dare say I could take down the current Bubble."

"Who are you trying to scare?"

“My intuition is usually very accurate.” Yuko shrugged.

"By the way, is that maid one of yours?"

"No"

"Oh"

Eiji noticed something was off about Ikuko's expression. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just don't like that maid and want her to go to the hospital for a few days."

Section 192, Chapter 191: Knowing When to Advance and When to Retreat

The floor was covered in sawdust, and the little fairy was intently carving various mysterious characters onto a wooden boat with a carving knife.

After several days of effort by Kuroro, the original large log had been transformed into a wooden boat, but changing its appearance alone was far from enough.

"The protective measures need improvement; although they're better than nothing, we still need to make some efforts..."

With a 'crack', the carving knife in Kuroro's hand broke in two.

The little fairy was taken aback. It flew to the drawer and took out another carving knife.

'Click'

"..."

"Hmph!" Kuroro flung the hilt of his sword and dashed out of the apartment.

On the top floor of the apartment building, a woman with a cigarette in her mouth had been waiting for a long time.

"Yo!" Seeing the furious little imp, Chisa exhaled a smoke ring.

"Cough cough, Kuroro hates this smell."

It covered its nose, "How did you find me?"

"We're not stupid. You suddenly showed up at headquarters and caused a scene last time. You must have had some purpose, right?"

"Coincidentally, at that time, a big mess happened in Linglan, and a little girl was kidnapped."

"Headquarters was just about to deal with this matter, and you had to come out and interrupt, Kuroro."

Chisara smiled and said, "This makes one wonder."

"Also, I looked up that girl's information out of curiosity, and wow, it's incredible."

Chisa took a drag of her cigarette, her expression somewhat grave: "Bubble, is that what it's called again?"

"Wherever the bubble goes, disaster strikes."

"What fire, a teacher who suddenly went mad, a sacrifice by the Apocalyptic cult, a chaotic lord devouring the town's newborns, a descendant of a great lord hiding in the lily of the valley..."

"Since so many troublesome things have already been involved, it's to be expected that another extraterrestrial species will be added."

Chisa Nakazawa shook her head: "There are quite a few people who could guess you were here, but I'm the only one who had the guts to come looking for you."

"Why are you looking for me if there's nothing wrong?" Kuroro said dryly.

“Sigh, I didn’t want to either, but this time you’ve crossed the Federation’s bottom line.”

Chisa blinked: "It would be so much better if it were like before, occasionally eating up some unimportant people, and no one would bother you."

"But why did you suddenly start binge eating?"

"Mind your own business!" Kuroro bared its sharp teeth, its eyes already showing hostility.

"Chisara, how much Kuroro eats is his own business. Why are you meddling in his affairs?"

"It's not really meddling. Look at me, um, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually one of the higher-ups in the Seven Rings Tower."

"what?"

"So, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Aren't you taking me, Nakazawa Chisato, too lightly?"

"..."

Kuroro stared at her expressionlessly, and a green flower slowly bloomed behind him.

Chisa exhaled a smoke ring, looking somewhat eager to try.

"It's been such a long time since I've encountered a worthy opponent, and my demonic eyes are itching for a fight."

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

"Maid, maid, maid, oh maid."

Humming an unknown song, Annie walked briskly back to her dormitory.

As she walked, her pace slowed down.

"Hmm?" A hostile figure blocked her way.

She was a beautiful girl with a tall and spirited figure.

Because the girl was quite famous at the academy, Annie exclaimed her name in surprise: "Sakakibara Ikuko?"

"Oh, maid, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Sakakibara-kun, is there something you need from Annie?" she asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing serious, I just want you to disappear for a while!"

Quite abruptly, Yuko launched an attack.

While the Military Unification Academy encourages competition among its members, everything has its limits.

Yuko's actions—blocking the road, maliciously provoking, and suddenly launching a murderous attack—completely violate the academy's principles.

"Maid, maid—"

Anne remained calm in the face of Yuko's onslaught, replying, "Maid wrestling technique!"

Their figures overlapped, and Yu Zi's feet lost their footing. In a dizzying moment, she roared angrily, braced herself with her left hand, and delivered a leg whip strike towards the back of Annie's head.

"Maid's Roundhouse Kick—"

Annie paused slightly, adopting an offensive stance.

She was surprised to find that her opponent's strength was incredible; her calves went numb, and she was almost about to be crushed by Yuko's whip kick.

"Maid, Maid—Maid Entanglement Technique!"

No longer trying to outmuscle Yuko, Annie hooked her leg and coiled around Yuko like a snake.

"Don't think about it!"

Yuko took a deep breath and formed a knife in her right hand.

"Breaking wind!"

A shriek rang out, and disregarding the potential injury to herself, she chopped down with her hand at the maid who was binding her legs.

"Maid, escape technique—"

Anne made a quick decision and gave up the victory that was about to be in her grasp.

Freed from the maid's restraints, Yuko's hand-blade remained steadily suspended in mid-air.

Compared to her battle with Eiji, Ikuko's understanding of "wind break" has clearly reached a new level.

In the past, Yuko would have absolutely never stopped using this ultimate technique.

After turning over and regaining her balance, Yuko's expression was very serious.

The maid in front of him was incredibly strong, even surpassing Eiji in strength.

“You must be the Heavenly King who hasn’t shown his face all this time,” Yuko said with certainty.

“Anne was just a wandering maid who happened to be staying in Wutong during this period.”

"Hmph, I've never seen a maid with your skills."

"Sakakibara-kun hasn't seen many maids, has he?" Anne's casual remark left Yuko speechless.

Well, to be honest, Yuko had never seen any maids before meeting Anne... well, actually she had never seen any maids at all.

"Maids may be less common in the Federation, but in Sain or other kingdoms, maids and butlers are more common."
