Unspeakable bubbles

But, based on my intuition, this matter is definitely not that simple!

"Yuko, if there's nothing else, go back. As the academy's top student, you still have many things to handle."

"...I understand." Yu Zi put Bubble's farewell letter into her arms and walked out of the office with a heavy heart.

"Phew," Augustus seemed to breathe a slight sigh of relief as he watched Yuko leave.

"The difficult student has finally been dealt with."

"Maid—Maid—" Just then, a second voice rang out in the office.

Augustus's gaze sharpened, and his keen eyes looked toward the corner where a girl dressed as a maid was standing.

"..."

"........."

"Isn't that Anne? When did she get standing there?"

"Anne and Sakakibara came in together."

"Oh, is there something you need?"

"Letter," Anne said, extending her hand.

Without saying a word, Augustus pulled a letter out of the drawer. "This is from Bubble, but the messenger searched the academy but couldn't find you, so I'll keep it for now."

"Where did Bubble go?" Anne asked expressionlessly as she carefully put the letter away.

It's clear that the maid is in a very bad mood.

"I was very surprised when I received the letter. Could it be that Bubble and Annie are very close?" Augustus asked curiously.

"Bubble, Anne's potential master."

“Master candidate…” Augustus repeated thoughtfully.

"Where?" Anne asked again when Augustus did not answer.

"Annie, now that you know where Bubble is, what do you want to do? Run off to find her?"

Augustus shook his head. "You said Bubble is a candidate to be your master. Since she is such an important person, as a maid, you should think even more about her."

"Tell me, does Bubble need a maid right now?"

With just one sentence, the maid stood frozen in place.

"You understand, don't you? Obviously, bubbles don't need it."

"Bubble is still in school, and she has such an excellent person like Ms. Masumi taking care of her."

"Annie, you have absolutely no chance to appear."

Augustus pressed on: "I am older than you, so I'll share some of my experience."

"It's not appropriate for you to go next to Bubble right now. Let's wait."

"When she grows up and needs you, then Annie can go find her."

"How about it?"

“Maid…” Anne lowered her head, bowed slightly to Augustus, and then left the office.

"Finally, I've dealt with all the difficult students." Augustus shook his head and was about to continue his work.

A knocking sound came from the door.

"Which one?"

"Dean, this is Guangyan. I'm sorry to bother you, but I have something I'd like to ask you about Bubble's transfer."

"...Oh, come in."

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

"Ah Chun, why is Paopao being transferred to another school again?"

Inside the SUV, Masumi, sitting in the passenger seat, asked in confusion.

"With Tsukimi City in such a mess right now, going to school somewhere else is a good thing!" Jack said, driving the car, though he didn't mean what he really meant.

That's what they say.

Masumi glanced at the rearview mirror; the little girl was sitting there listlessly.

"Frequent school transfers are not good for Bubble's development! Bubble finally made friends in the military reunification area, and suddenly he has to transfer schools..."

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it."

Jack said in a lighthearted tone, "You don't know which academy Bubble is transferring to, do you? It's the Unicorn Academy, the top of the three academies."

"Unicorn Academy?" The sudden surprise overshadowed Masumi's dissatisfaction.

"I've heard that it's the highest academy in the Federation's mystical faction!"

"Yes, so in the long run, this is a good thing for Bubble."

After a pause, Jack casually added, "We'll be at the rest area soon. Let's go buy some snacks for Bubble there."

"Okay."

Buying snacks was just a side thing; convincing Masumi was the real goal.

Jack glanced at Bubble in the rearview mirror and sighed inwardly.

Section 208, Chapter 207: Detour

To be honest, Jack really liked Bubble, this kind-hearted girl.

If possible, he would be willing to raise Bubble like he would treat a family member, just like Masumi.

But, but it really won't work!

Staying by Bubble's side any longer is far too dangerous. Masumi is just an ordinary girl; she can't possibly handle those sudden crises.

Jack felt terrible, but he still had to do what he had to do!

The SUV quickly arrived at the rest area. Just as Jack was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang.

His heart sank when he glanced at the number.

Why would she call at this time?

"Acheng, I'm going to answer this phone."

Jack hurriedly got out of the car and walked to the vending machine: "What can I do for you, Lady Gulian?"

"You silly child, how many times have I told you, don't be so formal in private." A slightly reproachful tone came from the phone, and Jack couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Aunt, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Nothing special, it's just that as I get older, I enjoy chatting with you younger folks more and more."

"Just chatting about everyday things?" Jack didn't believe it at all.

"Ah Chun, I don't need to repeat the importance of the Seventh Ring Tower to the Federation. Your responsibility as the liaison is very important."

'Weren't we supposed to be chatting about everyday things?' Jack couldn't help but think to himself.

However, for her aunt, this kind of thing was probably just "everyday life".

"Twenty years ago, it would have been completely impossible to have someone with a government background serve as a liaison officer."

"This is all thanks to the efforts of Ninomiya, Augustus, and Kazuto," Jack said, taking the opportunity to speak up for his friends.

"Hehe, I know those little guys are loyal to the Federation."

"Because of their efforts, the Seventh Ring Tower has changed a lot. But I feel it's still not enough."

“The upper echelons of the Seven Rings Tower not only need people who are close to us, but I also want to extend our influence to the middle and lower levels.”

"Ah Chun, do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, Aunt, I will try my best."

"Okay, Chun, you are the most capable among the younger generation in our family. Your aunt has always had high expectations for you."

"You flatter me," Jack said cautiously, his heart skipping a beat.

"You're good at being obedient, but sometimes you need to be a little wild and have some guts."

"In this respect, I appreciate real names the most."

"Real name... Is she alright?" Jack frowned uncomfortably.

Hirano Mana, Masumi's younger sister, is a heroine whom her aunt has always praised highly.

However, Jack disliked that guy from the bottom of his heart.

“She’s doing well. That child’s mercenary group is becoming increasingly famous. Even my aunt has heard about her glorious deeds through several channels.”

"A girl named Zhenming did not choose to compromise when her family fell into decline, but instead made a name for herself on her own."

"My aunt always thought that whoever marries that child will be very lucky."

"...Aunt, Masumi and I are making very good progress, and, moreover..."

'And I always felt that Zhenming was an ungrateful wretch!'

These words lingered on Jack's lips for a while, but remembering that she was Masumi's younger sister, he swallowed them back.

"And I don't like Zhenming's personality; she's too wild."

"You... never mind, this can't be forced."

“I know you like Masumi. Masumi… that child has been behaving quite well lately.”

Jack was startled, then overjoyed, but his joy turned into worry.

“Aunt, what makes you say that? It seems that Acheng hasn’t done anything recently that would earn your praise.”

"Oh, you were trying to hide it from me?"

"Isn't Masumi currently looking after a very promising but also dangerous little girl?"
