Unspeakable bubbles

"I'm about to leave this planet. If you're so capable, come find me on another planet."

The little fairy hugged the wooden boat, and her mood improved slightly.

The city no longer has the atmosphere of Qian Sha. That's fine, I'll just spend more time decorating it.

It's hard to quell its resentment without turning this city into a complete mess.

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

"Bubble, stop hiding in the library all the time, let's go play ping pong."

Yu Zi stretched lazily, feeling utterly bored. She realized that she had been getting more and more idle lately.

I was hoping that Eiji would find something to amuse me, but to my surprise, he didn't do anything.

Bubble is always sticking to that weird maid. Honestly, she's practically growing mushrooms on herself.

'I wish some kind of catastrophe would happen and sweep across the city,' Yuko thought irresponsibly.

"Okay, is Manhe going too?" Bubble asked the girl wiping her wooden sword.

“Three people… let’s call one more, then it’ll be four people playing doubles.” Manhe offered a good suggestion.

"Hey, you can come in handy sometimes, huh?" Yuko perked up.

"I'll team up with Bubble, you go find someone else."

"Wait!" Yuko quickly called out to Manhe.

"What is it now?" Manhe turned around and asked helplessly.

Who are you planning to contact?

"Just pick any classmate who's free."

“No way.” Yu Zi frowned and said, “You’re already weak. If you just find some random grunt to fill in, what’s the point of the match later? Bubble and I are guaranteed to win.”

"Uh," Manhe felt a little annoyed, but he had to admit that Yuko's words made sense.

The two guys on the other side are both top-tier players. If I just randomly pick someone to fill in, I'll get a really bad beating.

"At least find someone decent-looking. Eiji... I bet he's meditating right now and won't be coming."

"By the way, Manzuru, go and find Kitami Hiroto."

“But he’s in the tennis club,” Manhe said, puzzled. “His major isn’t related to tennis.”

"Are we professionals?" Yu Zi rolled her eyes at Man He. "He's the one."

"He might not be willing, Yu Zi. I'm confident I can get some people from your class to come over, Guang Yan..."

"It's simple, I'll give you a solution."

"I heard that guy is a spineless coward who can't handle a woman's coaxing. I think you're pretty good-looking, Manhe, so maybe..."

"No way!" Uesugi Mitsuru declared righteously, "I am a warrior, I would never do such a thing!"

"Tch, it's fine if you don't want to."

Perhaps sensing Mitsuru's determination, Ikuko added, "Then go to the tennis club and issue a challenge, saying that I, Sakakibara Ikuko, want to have a ping-pong match with him."

“Hmm, but they’re the tennis club,” Manzuru said hesitantly. “They’re just playing ping-pong, aren’t they…”

"You're so long-winded. Just go when I tell you to. If it doesn't work, we'll figure something out."

“Alright,” Manhe shrugged. “I’ll go now, but whether he comes or not is not up to me.”

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

The already bustling stadium was now even more crowded, with people gathered around a ping-pong table, all sorts of eyes focused on the four people.

"Guangyan, how could you actually agree to this?" Manhe looked at the person beside him with a headache.

"Didn't you come to issue the challenge? Since there's a challenge, why shouldn't you accept it?"

Hiroki Kitami's cool remarks immediately caused many onlookers to scream.

"Ah, the president is so handsome!"

"Let's teach them a lesson!"

"Our tennis club is not to be trifled with."

The screams also included some personal attacks against Manhe.

"How did you end up partnering with the president?!"

"With ill intentions."

"President, don't fall for it! She'll definitely try to trip us up on purpose!"

"Manhe," Guangyan had obviously heard these words as well.

Why are you my partner?

"If you're unhappy, I'll step down now and replace you with someone from your club," Manhe said nonchalantly.

Yuko was the only one who felt bored and wanted to play ping-pong; she herself wanted to study kendo more.

"No, there's nothing to complain about." Guangyan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm overjoyed to have such a strong partner like you, as long as you, Manhe, promise to give it your all."

"No need to worry," Manhe said calmly. "Using underhanded tactics or dragging others down is not my style."

“Okay, then, I’ll leave it to you.” Guangyan extended his hand.

There was no one in their own club who could match Mitsuru's strength. The opponents were two top-tier players. With Eiji not going to show up, having Mitsuru as their partner was the best option.

As for whether Manzuru will hold back in the match... Hiroto still believes in her character as a practitioner of the Pofuryū style.

Facing Guangyan's outstretched right hand, Manhe smiled and extended her own right hand in return.

The two held hands tightly, and surprisingly, they seemed to share a common hatred for the enemy.

"What a traitor, flirting with the enemy." Yu Zi clicked his tongue.

She picked up the ping-pong ball and applied force with her fingertips. Under Yu Zi's pressure, the ping-pong ball quickly deformed.

When you let go, the ping-pong ball returns to its original state.

"Is it specially made? Looks like we'll have a lot of fun." Yuko tossed the ping-pong ball into the air.

"Accept!"

boom!

The ping-pong ball shot towards Manhe like a missile. Judging from this attack, Yuzi showed no mercy to her fellow club members.

Manhe stared sharply at the incoming ping-pong ball, and she slightly adopted a posture, holding the racket like she was holding a sword.

"Ha!" The girl caught the ball perfectly.

"Bubble, watch out!" Knowing that Yuko could definitely return the ball, Manhe switched opponents.

"Whoosh!" The little girl didn't hold back either, demonstrating her ability to partner with Yuko.

"I'll do it!"

Guangyan stared at the ping-pong ball that Bubble was hitting and shouted loudly.

He suffered a humiliating defeat last time, and this time he's going to thoroughly investigate that little girl's abilities.

Section 198, Chapter 197: Moving Forward Amidst the Carnage

One becomes three, three becomes six, six becomes twelve—Guangyan's mystery makes this ping-pong match seem magical.

Yuko twitched her ears, trying to distinguish which one was the real one by the friction between the ping-pong ball and the air.

However, twelve ping-pong balls produce twelve whooshing sounds!

If he only knew simple tricks, he, Kitami Hirogen, would not have been able to reach his current position.

Yuko was at a loss for what to do. She estimated her speed and figured that she could catch four balls if she tried her best.

A one-in-three probability... is a bit low.

"Bubble, come and catch!"

The little girl jumped high and smashed the highest ball.

With a "bang," Guangyan's magic ball was broken.

"It really wasn't luck," Guangyan sighed.

So, how exactly did she dispel her mystery?

While pondering this question, Guangyan's actions were momentarily slowed.

"One to zero!" someone shouted excitedly.

"Hey, be serious." Manhe looked at him unhappily.

This guy reminded himself to give it his all before the match, but he got distracted during the match?

"Feel sorry."

Guangyan lowered his head slightly. "You've seen the situation. If things continue like this, the situation will be unfavorable for us."

"How about I keep an eye on Yuko, and you keep an eye on that little girl?"

This is a reasonable allocation. It's obvious that Bubble can control itself, so switching opponents is the only way to win.

However, Manhe shook his head.

"You can't catch Yuko's next ball."

Guangyan was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Yuzi and couldn't help but gasp.

Perhaps spurred by Bubble's earlier point, Yuko exuded an imposing aura.

She slowly clenched her fist, and a rhythmic cracking sound rang out.

"For the next ball, Yuko will go all out."

Manhe said calmly, "Guangyan, you are not a martial arts master, nor are you a mysterious expert in physical strength. If you try to catch Yuzi's next ball head-on, you might break your right hand."
