Unspeakable bubbles

After packing her clothes and diary and carrying her bag, Misato took one last stroll around the church before heading towards Bubble's place.

On the way, she met Jiujiang, who looked refreshed and energetic.

"Good morning, are you all ready?" Misato greeted her.

"I don't have much stuff to begin with, so I can leave anytime."

"By the way, have you finished writing your observation diary?"

"Hehe, no big deal." Misato gave a thumbs up.

"That's good. Although this trip to the grasslands encountered many unexpected events, it has finally come to a successful end."

Jiujiang rubbed his belly: "After the three of us finish lunch, let the magical creatures carry us back."

"Hmm, we're out of bamboo baskets. We'll have to ask the priests to prepare two more."

Seeing Misato hesitate, Hisako asked curiously, "What's wrong, Misato? Is there something you're not ready for?"

"..."

"Hisae, do you think Bubble will come back with us?" Misato asked in a low voice.

"Eh"

Jiujiang was taken aback, and looked at her in confusion: "Paopao came with us, why isn't she going back?"

"Look, Bubble on the grassland has many people serving her, and she has no shortage of delicious food and beautiful clothes. Not only that, as long as Bubble gives an order, countless powerful people will run around for her."

"The grasslands are so beautiful, would she want to go back?"

"That's true."

Hisako thought about it and realized that if she were in Bubble's position...

"If I were Bubble, I definitely wouldn't go back to the Federation."

Hisae scratched his head. "Miri, should we still go look for Bubbles now?"

"We still need to ask."

"Even if Bubble doesn't go back, we can't just leave without saying goodbye. Besides, the magical creatures are still with her."

The two quickly arrived at Bubble's residence. Several guards glanced at them; the two girls were familiar faces, but duty dictated that the guards still stopped them.

"Please wait a moment while I go in and inform them."

"It's troublesome."

"Thank you, guard!" Misato and Hisae said politely.

A short while later, a beautiful young priestess welcomed them inside.

The air was filled with a wonderful fragrance, and the array of goods was dazzling.

This wasn't their first time visiting Bubble's place, but the extremely luxurious decor still made the two of them feel awkward and uncomfortable.

"Miri, Hisae, you're here!"

The little girl ran up to them with her schoolbag on her back. "Are you ready? It's been a month, and we're going back today!"

"..."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

If Bubble is willing to go back, then this off-campus practice will truly be a success!

"Shall we leave after lunch?" Hisa asked.

"It may take a while."

The little girl shook her head: "Tana said she needs to see Bubble today."

"Let's say goodbye to Tana when she comes back before we go back."

Miri nodded: "Of course, after all, Saint Tana has taken good care of us."

"However, I originally wanted to learn a few tricks from her, but I didn't expect that she has been so busy these days that I can't find her anywhere."

Misato looked regretful; having missed this opportunity, she didn't know if she would ever have another chance like this.

The group had originally planned to say goodbye to Tana at noon and then set off, but the Holy Maiden had not shown up for a long time.

They waited and waited until the sun went down.

"Bubble, how about we set off tomorrow? It seems that Saintess Tana has been delayed by something."

Misato suggested, "Let's wait another half day tomorrow. If we still haven't seen her by then..."

“Tana said she would come to see Bubble today, and she definitely will,” the little girl said confidently.

“Hmm,” Misato was about to say something when a priest hurried over.

"My lord, the Holy Maiden requests an audience."

"Tana's back! Let her in!" Bubble said happily.

Tana walked in, looking travel-worn, her face revealing undisguised exhaustion.

Upon seeing Bubble, Tana knelt on one knee: "My lord, Tana has returned."

"Is the matter finished?"

Upon hearing this, Tana's face lit up with joy.

"No one escaped; all the sinners received their due punishment."

The faint hint of bloodlust in his words made the priests serving him around him tense.

Misato shrank back uncomfortably, feeling that the atmosphere around her had changed instantly after Tana said those words.

"Tana, you've come all this way so late. You must be tired."

Bubble pulled Tana up: "Tana, it's good to see you. Bubble is getting ready to leave too."

"My Lord..."

Tana's eyes welled up with tears. She held back her sobs and asked, "My lord, when will you return? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"When we have a holiday later, Bubble will find a chance to come and visit!"

Despite her reluctance, Tana, as a servant, had no choice but to obey since it was Khotan's decision.

“The Kheshig, church priests, warriors of the grasslands… and, and Tana.”

"Your faithful servants await your return!"

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

Early in the morning, Ninomiya Sui was waiting at the entrance of Unicorn Academy.

If nothing unexpected happens, Bubble and the others should be back in the next couple of days.

As the de facto person in charge of the Seven Rings Tower, Ninomiya Sui was naturally swamped with trivial matters.

However, as the date of Bubbles' return drew closer, Ninomiya Sui began to stand at the school gate for a while every morning starting the day before yesterday.

She waited anxiously, hoping that one day she would see the black unicorn carry the three of them back safely.

Of course, this is not because Ninomiya Sui, as a member of the board of directors, is worried about the students in the academy.

But...

'If the Black Unicorn manages to bring Bubble back safely this time, wouldn't that prove it can suppress the little girl's mystery?'

'If that's the case, then I can really breathe a sigh of relief.'

Ninomiya Sui's thoughts were wandering when suddenly, her expression changed.

"Ok?"

She looked around, filled with anticipation.

The next moment, a black unicorn carrying three girls appeared in front of her.

Is this... you're back?

Ninomiya Sui looked at them excitedly. It had been a month since she last saw them, and the girls looked rosy-cheeked and their clothes were clean.

Looking at the black unicorn again, apart from the horn on its head appearing slightly crooked, everything else seems normal.

Ninomiya Sui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Welcome back to Unicorn Academy!"

We're back!

Seeing several people jump off the unicorn's back, Ninomiya Sui said with a smile, "It seems that the magical creature has developed feelings for you after spending a month with you, otherwise it wouldn't have carried so many people at once."

"Miri, how did your field trip go?"

Was it smooth sailing? To be honest, it went pretty smoothly.

Misato nodded: "Miss Ninomiya, were you waiting for us?"

"It was just a coincidence."

Ninomiya Sui's smile deepened as she pinched Bubble's chubby cheeks: "You've worked hard, go back and rest first."

What Ninomiya didn't see was that when she pinched the little girl's cheek, a look of fear flashed in the black unicorn's eyes for a moment.

Section 276, Chapter 275: The Ball

"The soft bed in the dorm is still the most comfortable!"

She collapsed onto her bed, rolling around with a blissful expression on her face.

"It's just a bit quiet. My little darlings are still being fostered at my junior's house."

Without realizing it, Misato's gaze fell on the open drawer.

"Ok?"

As I recall, I should have closed all the drawers when I left the dormitory.

When Misato walked up to the open drawer, she was surprised to find a book without a cover inside.
