Unspeakable bubbles

Even though she knew it was most likely just a book to pass the time, Misato still hugged it close to her chest, just in case.

"Study it carefully, and don't forget to tell me what you find."

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll head back to my dorm now, Miss Bella."

"Go ahead," Bella said with a smile and a wave.

Although Misato is very smart, her weaknesses are also quite obvious.

She has always found it hard to resist strange and unusual things.

Like this time, even though she already knew in her heart that this was just a book to pass the time, she was still willing to spend a lot of time trying it out.

A child with a personality like Misato's can sometimes be very useful...

Misato, with her right hand protecting her little baby and her left hand holding the book Miss Bella had given her, hurriedly left the house.

Because she was preoccupied with something, she almost bumped into a boy walking towards her.

"Hey, Miki, watch your step!"

Noboru Miki nodded and went into the office without arguing with Misato.

“This guy…” Misato pursed her lips, a thought suddenly occurring to her.

"Speaking of which, I always see Miki going to Miss Bella's place."

"Bubble, can you do me a favor?"

During PE class, Jiujiang, who was doing push-ups, shouted to Paopao, who was not far away.

"Coming!" The little girl ran up to Jiujiang: "What's up?"

"I want to add some more weight, Bubble, sit on my back."

"Oh."

Jiujiang supported herself with one hand on the ground, feeling the increased weight on her body, and said in a strange way, "Bubble, why don't I feel any heavier?"

"The bubbles weren't heavy to begin with, and Hisae was quite strong, so I guess I didn't feel anything."

"..."

After a while, Nagano Hisae said in a puzzled tone, "Oh right, Bubble, you're small and not very fleshy. But where do you get so much strength?"

"Well, Bubble thinks that being strong has nothing to do with muscles."

The little girl thought for a moment: "Bubble has a friend who doesn't have as many muscles as Hisa, but... ah!"

Bubble jumped up from Jiujiang's back: "Someone fell down!"

"Hmm? Bubble, you come down first."

"Quick, quick, let's go help him!" The little girl grabbed Jiujiang, who seemed to have something to say, and ran towards the edge of the playground.

"Slow down, it's okay, you won't die from the fall," Jiujiang said casually as he ran.

"Falling from such a height, it must be, it must be...wait?"

The little girl's eyes widened. She stopped in her tracks and watched in surprise as a boy dusted off his clothes and slowly got up from the ground.

The boy's face showed lingering shock. He looked up at his classroom on the second floor and suddenly revealed a look of resentment.

"Damn it, Mitsui, it must be him!"

Muttering to himself, the boy's face was full of resentment.

"Hey, are you alright?"

The boy was startled when he suddenly heard the concerned inquiry.

He waved his hand impatiently, "Go away, go away, it's none of your business... Ouch!"

"Hey, didn't you see that Bubble was concerned about you? If you can't say anything nice, then shut up!" Jiujiang grabbed the boy's wrist and said unhappily.

"You're... on the sixth floor?"

"What business is it of yours which floor I live on? Apologize to the girl next to me now." Jiujiang increased the pressure on his hand.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" He quickly bowed and apologized.

"Tch, don't do it again!"

Hisako let go of his hand. "Seriously, it's because there are too many guys like this that our academy is ostracized by Suzuran and the Martial Alliance."

"Bubble, don't take it to heart. Just ignore this guy."

"It's okay, it's just..."

The little girl looked at Jiujiang with a puzzled expression: "He fell from such a height, but he seems to be fine."

"Besides, Bubble doesn't seem to be very good at him."

"He's just a weakling!" Jiujiang said irritably.

"Well, let me put it this way."

Jiujiang composed himself: "There is a very special phenomenon at Unicorn Academy, which is that if you stay in the academy, no matter what kind of unexpected situation you encounter, you will not get hurt."

"Like that guy who just fell down, logically speaking, with his limited skills, he should have been lying on the ground and unable to get up by now."

"But now? Nothing's wrong at all."

"It's weird."

"Yes, but it's a good thing overall."

Bubble nodded and was about to speak when suddenly her head throbbed as if she had been hit by a large rock.

This feeling... seems familiar.

Section 217, Chapter 216: Stone Crab

"What's wrong?" Seeing Bubble suddenly lost in thought, Hisako couldn't help but ask with concern.

"A bad guy broke into the house, Bubble, go back to the dorm first!" After saying that, the little girl ran away in a flash.

"Uh, bad guys... never mind, even if some bad guys sneak into the dorm, it won't be a problem for you."

Hisako shook her head. She looked around the playground for a while, then called out to Misato, who was sitting under the shade of a tree, "Miri! Do me a favor!"

Back in the dorm, Bubble closed the door, and her shadow suddenly stretched and distorted, swallowing her whole.

Once again back in her shadow space, Bubble looked around for a while and found Carmen standing in front of two trees, deep in thought.

"Carmen, why aren't you reading in your room today?" the little girl asked curiously.

Carmen usually stays in her room reading, so why is she unusually coming out to look at the little tree today?

"Your Majesty, I've finished reading all the books you bought for me. Please bring me a few more next time."

"Wow, so fast!" Bubble exclaimed in surprise.

I remember those books I bought were really thick, and Carmen has already finished reading them in such a short time.

"There's no way around it, my research on shadow creatures has hit a bottleneck, and I've been reading books the whole time lately."

“I’ve read each book more than three times. I had nothing else to read today, so I came out to study a new subject.”

"The little trees are very well-behaved, Carmen, don't bully them." Bubble stepped forward and reached out to stroke the tender branches.

"Little trees, little trees, Bubble comes to water you every day, grow up quickly!"

After hearing Bubble's words, the two little trees named 'Time' and 'Wisdom' swayed their branches slightly, as if to say that they would try their best.

"I really want to see what they look like when they bear fruit." Carmen stroked his chin, gazing at the unripe fruits, no bigger than his thumb, growing on the sapling, his heart filled with anticipation.

Each tree had a single fruit, small and seemingly unremarkable, but Carmen was certain they were extraordinary.

I've tried countless methods to study the two trees over the past few days, but to no avail.

Forget about studying them, I can't even come across them myself!

'Wisdom' and 'Time' seem to reside on this mountain, but in reality, they exist independently outside the entire shadow space.

Every time I tried to touch them, my hand would just pass right through, as if I were only touching a phantom of the tree.

Before the bubbles arrived today, Carmen almost thought the two trees were some kind of magical projection.

'Although I want to study it, I actually don't know where to start.'

Carmen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, if you want them to grow faster, I do have some ideas."

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty, you have always watered them with shadow elements, and so far the two saplings are growing well."

"Leaving aside whether they can only absorb shadow elements, at least we can be sure that shadow elements are beneficial to their growth."

Carmen paused for a moment, then said, "So, if you want them to thrive, you need more shadow elements."

"Where do more shadow elements come from? It's simple, just keep absorbing other shadow spaces."

"As luck would have it, a group of uninvited guests have barged in today, Your Majesty, your space can be expanded even further."

"Ah, right!"

"Bubble came today to ask Carmen if you saw the bad guy run in!"

The little girl touched her head. She had felt that same sensation of being hit by a rock before, back when 'Crusher No. 3' led his tribe into Bubble's house.

"Where are the bad guys? Where are they?" Bubble looked left and right but didn't see anything strange.

"They're all at the foot of the mountain, being dealt with by the three-headed dog."

"He's not a formidable opponent, Your Majesty need not worry."

"Let's go take a look!" Bubble said impatiently.

The two followed the mountain path downhill, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they indeed saw 'Crusher No. 3' leading his clan in a battle with a group of crabs.

Hunting dogs kept running down the mountain to join the battle, while on the other side, countless palm-sized crabs emerged from a small island that had crashed into the foot of the mountain.
