Unspeakable bubbles

"without"

Like someone drowning, Kyoko flailed her arms in front of her, trying to grab onto something.

Her slightly clearer thoughts became chaotic again, and the girl named Anzu was about to truly lose herself.

"It's a promise!"

"I, ah, made a promise."

She clutched her hair, "Yes, the promise, the promise, the cookies."

Her cloudy eyes lit up again. "I remember now, I came out to buy cookies for Bubble."

"That's right, an agreement must be kept."

"Apricot, buy Bubble something delicious."

"Yes, yes, that's it."

"Bear Biscuits, Downtown"

"Hey hey hey"

Despite rambling incoherently, she miraculously managed to maintain her composure.

"Hurry, hurry, it's almost dawn."

"We want to give Bubble a surprise."

"giggle"

"dong dong"

"dong dong"

The rhythmic knocking sound jolted the man, who was battling a nightmare, into a smile that was almost formulaic.

"Hello, are you looking for accommodation?"

"Hmm." With a faint smell of smoke, the man could see the guest in front of him clearly.

She's a young woman, and if you only look at her face, she's quite pretty.

Unfortunately, her messy, bird's-nest-like hair and heavy dark circles made her look less attractive.

Add to that a perpetually sleepy look and an overly tall figure for a woman, and well, I guess I'd say I barely pass.

Silently rating the new guests in his mind, the man then politely asked, "How many people are in your party, and how many days will you be staying?"

"call"

The woman didn't answer, but exhaled a smoke ring.

'fail'

After mentally reassessing the score, the man's smile became increasingly formulaic.

Oh, I forgot to mention, he doesn't like smoking and hates the smell of smoke.

"Master, Master!"

Just then, another guy burst in, shouting and yelling.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a little girl of about ten years old.

The girl's eyes were very unusual; her left eye was a fiery red, and her right eye was a mysterious purple.

The man was immediately captivated, staring intently at the girl.

What a mysterious loli!

'Eight points! One more point for bichromatic eyes, nine points in total!'

Oh, and one more thing, the man is a lolicon.

The girl was pushing a suitcase with difficulty, her forehead covered in sweat.

"Slow down, slow down, Master."

"Xiaoyu, you're too slow," Qiansha said weakly.

"Hey buddy, what's the price for two people to stay for a day?" The flirtatious voice made the man frown slightly. He felt a little displeased, thinking that the woman in front of him didn't seem like a decent person.

"Guests, are you sisters?" he asked cautiously.

"What does it matter?" She yawned inelegantly and casually ruffled the girl's hair.

The "master" seemed somewhat dissatisfied, and the girl named Xiaoyu protested.

Did you hear that?

"what?"

"Honestly, the people here are not only unguarded, but they can't even hear properly," the woman said, somewhat bored.

"Master, Master, you can't say that!"

"We finally found a hotel..." Xiaoyu looked at the man with teary eyes, afraid that she would be kicked out.

"hiss"

He was initially angry, but after being looked at by the little girl, he immediately lost his temper.

"Hehe, don't worry, little friend, how could Uncle turn away a guest?"

The man smiled kindly, "Perhaps the guest is not from this city and doesn't know this."

He glanced at the suitcase Xiaoyu was pushing, trying to salvage his earlier lapse in composure: "The city's public security has always been good."

"Ah ...

A dark shadow crashed through the glass window of the bakery across the street. Before he could see what it was, it had already disappeared into the street on all fours.

"The lions from the zoo have escaped?"

The man stared in disbelief, saying this with his eyes wide open.

"Xiaoyu?" Qiansha lowered her head.

"Master is a girl, about the same age as Xiaoyu."

"Oh, a little girl, probably some homeless child who's starving. Young man, one room will do," Qian Sha said listlessly.

"wrong!"

Xiaoyu quickly shook her head, "She, she has very long claws, a scary look in her eyes, and blood on her body."

"Wearing a school uniform, he looked strange, like a bear."

Chisa stroked her chin and clapped her hands: "The polluter has been stimulated and mutated!"

Upon hearing Qian Sha's words, the man's expression changed immediately.

"Master! Hurry!"

Xiaoyu was extremely anxious. "If we don't hurry, someone else will get hurt."

"What's the rush? Someone will handle it."

Chisa had absolutely no interest. She waved her hand and said, "Leave the minor characters to those third-rate experts. Your master doesn't need to lift a finger."

"Yes, but"

Xiaoyu's eyes slowly welled up with tears: "There will be many, many people who will get hurt."

"Oh," Chisa responded dryly.

"Master, Master has gone too far!"

Tears streamed down her face as Xiaoyu looked sadly at Qiansha: "Master..."

"tsk"

Chisa looked annoyed, but under the little girl's tearful onslaught, she still sighed.

"Xiaoyu, even if we help, they might not thank us. They might even think I'm meddling."

"Will this cause trouble for my master?"

The little girl clearly hesitated; indeed, she was kind-hearted and didn't want to see others get hurt.

But what if it really causes trouble for my master...?

Chisa saw right through the girl's thoughts and looked utterly defeated.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and deal with her so you can come back and sleep."

"Can"

Seeing that Xiaoyu hesitated to speak, Qiansha said calmly, "I suppose there is no one in this city who can point fingers at me."

Chapter 21 Obsession

As the first rays of dawn touched the earth, the hardworking people prepared to get up and work, while the night owls finally felt sleepy. The private Cherry Elementary School welcomed a new day.

Araki Mamoru dressed himself neatly, checked his weapons, and began his routine patrol.

For some reason, he felt a little uneasy today.

After quickly surveying the campus, he arrived at the school gate.

"It's time for a shift change, Quan."

As he called out to his companions, Araki Mamoru breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Thankfully, everything is normal.

"team leader!"

His companion suddenly tensed up, his right hand gripping his weapon: "What is that thing?"

Araki Mamoru narrowed his eyes. A black dot was moving rapidly toward them in the distance. Judging from its outline... it seemed to be some kind of carnivorous animal.
