Unspeakable bubbles

Upon hearing Bella's words, Miki's expression darkened.

"Rather than letting her see me as I am now, I'd rather leave her with the impression of a good older brother."

"Haha, Miki, you've finally figured it out!"

"Don't worry, we will treat Xiaoshan with respect."

"You must keep your word."

"Uh-huh!"

Section 222, Chapter 221: Infiltration

The dimly lit campus was sparsely populated. Most people had already returned to their classrooms, and only a few were still wandering around the campus for various reasons.

Misato Toda had a furrowed brow and looked to be in a very bad mood.

Just now, she performed a spirit summoning according to the method described in the book Miss Bella gave her.

As expected, my calculations failed.

I spent half the day in the cold wind, wasting my precious time, but in the end...

"Failed again! This is the third method. Should we continue?"

There are ten methods of summoning spirits in the book. If you try them one by one, you will have to endure seven expected failures.

"I must be an idiot!" Misato wanted to shove the book she was holding into the trash can. She was now 100% sure it was just a book meant to kill time and fool people.

But if Misato gives up now, she'll find it hard to let go.

Indeed, if I continue like this, I'll look like a fool.

but……

"Sigh, so be it. If I don't try now, I'll definitely regret it later."

"Miss Bella, you've really ruined my life!"

Misato muttered to herself as she walked toward the dormitory building.

"Huh?" As she walked, Misato spotted a familiar figure.

She was small in stature, with two little braids on her head that swayed as she walked.

"Isn't this a top expert? Why isn't he home sleeping this late?"

Just as Misato was about to call out to Bubble, the little girl suddenly disappeared.

"Huh?"

Toda Misato's eyes widened. Just now, the little girl had happened to walk under a big tree, and she clearly saw the shadow of the tree completely engulf her, and then, then the bubble disappeared!

"A great master!" Misato exclaimed.

"..."

"No, no way, am I seeing things?"

"But I really saw bubbles just now. How could they just disappear like that?"

Misato stared at the spot where the bubbles had disappeared and couldn't help but shudder.

She suddenly felt that the school was eerie and terrifying, and the surroundings were...extremely quiet!

"I...I...I...I didn't see anything!"

"Don't eat me!"

Misato screamed and turned to run away.

"Whoops"

"what"

In a panic, Misato bumped into someone, and the next moment, the two of them were crouching on the ground, clutching their heads.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly turn around and run away?" Miki Noboru adjusted his glasses and stood up, displeased.

"You walked behind me without saying a word!" Toda Misato rubbed her head. "You scared me to death in the middle of the night!"

"You're the one who's trying to scare people to death, yelling out of nowhere and then running away."

Miki Noboru sighed. He was exhausted and all he could think about was going back to his dorm to sleep.

"Never mind, I'm going back to sleep."

"Wait, don't go over there!" Misato grabbed his arm.

"What's wrong now?"

"Don't go that way, just now, just now..."

Misato swallowed hard: "The bubble was over there just now, and it got eaten by the shadow of the big tree."

"..."

"What kind of look is that?!"

"Bubble should have been back in the dorm by now. Even if something delayed her and she's only just getting back now... but you're saying she was eaten by the tree's shadow?"

"Eating less strange and unusual things is bad for your health." Miki Noboru patted her shoulder and walked straight ahead.

"What do you mean! What do you mean by 'eat less weird food'? My diet has always been healthy, and I don't have any bad habits!"

Misato glared angrily at Miki Noboru, "Hey, let me give you one more friendly reminder, don't go any further!"

Miki Noboru ignored him, his hands in his pockets, and didn't slow down at all.

"..."

Misato fell silent, staring nervously at Noboru Miki's retreating figure.

One step, two steps, three steps... Miki Noboru walked through that 'danger zone' without anything happening.

"No way," Misato muttered to herself incredulously.

"Could it be that I really saw it wrong?"

"Should I go over and take a look too..."

"Uh, no, no, it's too dangerous."

Misato muttered to herself, standing there hesitant and unable to move.

Some students who wanted to take this road back to their dormitories walked from a distance, but when they saw Miri's strange appearance, they all took a detour.

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

"Your Majesty, you have arrived."

Inside the shadowy space, Carmen greeted Bubble.

"Yeah, Bubble just went to the library."

"Carmen, you can take these books and read them."

After handing the book to Carmen, Bubble asked, "Carmen, aren't you bored staying here all the time? Do you want to go for a walk?"

"Your Majesty, there is no point in me going out now."

Carmen shrugged: "The Skeleton Legion has not yet been revived, and my power has not yet accumulated to the point of being able to construct a physical form."

"Don't be fooled by my current appearance, where I'm reading and doing research like an ordinary person. This is the result of making the most of shadow elements."

Carmen pointed to herself: "In this shadow space, my energy consumption has been reduced to the minimum standard. Once I go outside, I will immediately be reduced to my original form."

"Hmm, can't Carmen expend some energy to maintain her current form and stroll around outside?"

"It's not that it's impossible, but it's an unnecessary action."

Carmen said, puzzled, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's necessary to waste so much power just to take a stroll outside."

"But, going for a walk outside will cheer me up!"

"...Sorry, I still don't understand."

Carmen pondered for a moment: "However, although it's hard to understand, if this is the King's order..."

“It’s not an order. Bubble won’t force you if Carmen doesn’t want to do it herself.”

The little girl looked at Carmen thoughtfully: "I heard that if someone is a homebody, it's actually harder for them to go outside."

"Carmen, so you're a homebody!"

"A shut-in?" Carmen paused, then thought of another version of him.

"Looking back now, that guy used to like to sit in his room and invent things after he finished dealing with his official duties."

"Judging from this, he's definitely a homebody."

“However… Your Majesty, I am different.”

Carmen's eyes blazed with a crimson light: "I am the embodiment of destruction and slaughter. My lurking now is simply because the time is not yet ripe!"

"Really?" Bubble looked at him skeptically.

“Of course.” Carmen stuffed the book into her bosom. “Your Majesty, I didn’t just want to read because I was bored.”

"Having stayed in the secret realm for so long, my knowledge and understanding of the world have long been out of touch with the outside world."

"As a strategist, one cannot ignore one's own shortcomings."

Carmen paused for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about me for now. Shall we try to break the barrier today?"

"Ok!"

"Call Crusher Number Three, let's go!"
