Unspeakable bubbles

"What's wrong, my master candidate?" the maid said with a grin.

"Anne once said that to become Anne's master, one must be a very, very powerful person."

"correct."

"But Bubble isn't very good at this, is Bubble really capable?"

Section 196, Chapter 195: A Hundred Years Too Early

“Indeed, her mother, father and sisters all had high expectations for Anne and hoped that Anne would find the best owner.”

"But actually, Anne doesn't need her master to be outstanding. As long as she can see Anne and talk to her occasionally, that's enough."

In the library, where there were only the two of them, the maid revealed a wish that she had kept hidden in her heart for a long time.

She sighed, "I don't know why, but Annie has never attracted any attention since she was little. Apart from her family, even her friends who were playing happily one moment would forget about me the next."

"This situation became even worse as Anne grew older. Sometimes, even her sisters would forget about her."

"At this point, it's really not appropriate to describe it as inconspicuous...right, presence."

The maid uttered words she'd never heard before: "Weak presence, Anne thinks it's easier to say that."

“When she was little, Annie also dreamed about her future owner and imagined what kind of great hero he (she) would be.”

"But Anne only realized it later."

"No matter how excellent one's master is, if he or she cannot notice that Anne is his or her maid, he or she will forget that Anne even exists."

"Then what's the point of Anne finding such a master?"

After listening attentively to the maid's story, Bubble hesitated and said, "But, Bubble doesn't feel that Annie, your presence is... weak."

“Bubble, you’re special,” Anne said decisively.

"Do you remember the first time you came to chat with me at the school gate, Bubble? Ever since you came to the Martial Union, no, even earlier, no one has taken the initiative to talk to Annie!"

"Anne was both happy and worried that day. She was afraid that it was just a coincidence that Bubble saw her, but it wasn't like that."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief. "Right now, you and I are indeed in the library, talking about our own things."

"Since that's the case, Bubble, you don't need to become such a powerful person in the future. You don't need to be a tycoon, a member of the Sien noble family, or a super strong person!"

"As long as it meets the master's most basic requirements."

Anne held up one finger: "As long as you can pay the maid's wages every month, that's fine!"

"Wages?" The little girl nodded. "Yes, you get paid for doing work. Annie is a maid, and maids get paid too."

How much does Annie cost each month?

"Actually, it's not that much." The maid gestured.

"six?"

"Six yuan?" the little girl guessed.

A bag of strawberry cookies contains about six pieces. Annie always cleans very carefully, and Bubble thinks six pieces really isn't much.

Add four zeros.

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

“Annie, four zeros, Bubble can’t even come up with one zero.”

The little girl counted on her fingers: Masumi gave her ten yen of pocket money every week, and if she didn't buy anything every month, she would only have forty yen.

Six plus four zeros? That's an astronomical number for a little girl.

"According to Anne's maid rank, 60,000 is the lowest possible price."

"Annie is not only good at sweeping, cooking, watering flowers and planting trees, sewing clothes, building houses, social etiquette, assassination, poisoning..."

"Besides, it's not that Anne insists on this much. If it's less than this amount, Mother and Father will absolutely not agree."

The maid said earnestly, "If a master can't even pay his or her wages, then he or she is definitely not a good master."

"Six, four zeros...that's enough to buy lots and lots of strawberry cookies. Hmm, not just strawberry cookies, but lots and lots of bear cookies too."

"Annie, Bubble doesn't have any money. Does that mean we can't play together anymore?" the little girl asked dejectedly.

"Of course, as long as it's within the 'military unification' framework, Bubble can come find me anytime."

"Besides, this amount of money is a lot for Bubble now, but it might not be so in the future."

Annie encouraged him, "Bubble, you're still young, you have a long road ahead of you."

"Moreover, the fact that you were able to get into the Martial Arts Academy shows that your potential has already been recognized."

"That's right!"

Anne seemed to have thought of something, and she said happily, "After graduating from the Military Academy, as long as there is any interest, the Seven Ring Tower will be happy to absorb these potential seeds."

"The benefits at the Seven Ring Tower are quite good, plus there's a large bonus for solving every mysterious case."

"Bubble, Annie will help you!"

"As long as you take on more quests after entering the Seventh Ring Tower, earning six plus four zeros a month is a piece of cake."

"Seven Ring Tower, money, lots of money." The little girl nodded.

"Bubble doesn't quite understand complicated matters."

"If Bubble works hard in the future, can he stay with Annie forever?"

"Yes!" The maid nodded vigorously.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be the Seventh Ring Tower. If Bubble has talent in other areas, he can develop in that direction."

The maid carefully examined the little girl and said, "Bubble, you'll definitely be a beauty when you grow up."

"Girl groups are so popular now, you could try becoming an idol."

“Anne can be your maid, and also your agent.”

"Oh, my idol!" The little girl's braids trembled.

"You mean, those pretty ladies who sing on TV?"

“That’s right,” Annie said with a smile.

"Speaking of idols, can Bubble sing?"

"Yes, yes, Bubble can sing lullabies. Sasha used to sing them to Bubble all the time!"

"A lullaby? That's too low-level."

"How about Annie teaches you to sing the Maid Song?"

"Oh!"

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

After finishing their meal and returning to their room, Bubble was about to pick up the watering can to water Kuroro.

At this moment, the soil in the flowerpot bulged upwards, and an arm stretched out from inside.

"Kuroro?!" Bubble exclaimed in surprise.

For five days in a row, Kuroro didn't react much when I watered it. Bubble thought there was something wrong with my technique, so he went to ask Annie for advice.

Finally, my friend is going to be unearthed today!

Soon, another arm stretched out.

Next, Kuroro's head, neck...

"Hmph, I, Chrollo, am back!" The little fairy flew into the air, patting the dirt off her body, looking furious.

"Kuroro, are you alright?"

"It's alright. If you want Kuroro to fall, she still needs to train for a hundred years!"

"Bubble, I'm going out to get something, I'll be right back!"

The little fairy hurriedly left a message and flew out of the window.

"It's dark outside, be careful!"

"knew--"

Section 197, Chapter 196: Four-person doubles

Rescue workers were busy running around on the ruins of the collapsed apartment building.

Five days have passed, and the chances of finding survivors are already extremely slim, but they still meticulously fulfill their duties.

A green dot of light quietly landed on the ruins. Kuroro hid behind a rock, his face full of anger.

I almost... I almost couldn't get up again!

If this grudge isn't avenged, Kuroro will suffer for the rest of his life.

"Aren't you supposed to protect these humans? Aren't you going to forbid me from eating?"

"I won't listen! Just you wait, Chisa, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Kuroro kept a straight face. To be honest, if it wanted to continue its activities in the Federation, it would have toned it down after being 'warned' by Chisara.

Although it has a bad temper, it can still weigh the pros and cons.

key……

Kuroro stretched out his hand, and a small wooden boat emerged from the ruins and flew to its side.

Despite being trapped for so many days, the small boat appears completely undamaged.
