Unspeakable bubbles

"To cross the river and then dismantle the bridge—that's a bit too hasty!"

Ninomiya Sui was sulking when an oblivious man walked up to her.

"Miss Ninomiya, you don't seem very happy?"

"If you're in a bad mood and want to strike up a conversation, go find someone else."

Ninomiya Sui said unhappily, but when she saw who it was, she was taken aback.

"Congressman Shenjing! You...you've been discharged from the hospital?"

Ninomiya looked at the man with his hand still in a cast in surprise: "Aren't you going to continue recuperating for a while?"

"Aside from the fact that my right hand is still immobile and that's a bit inconvenient, there are no other major problems."

Shingo Fukai smiled and said, "When I saw that you looked so down, Miss Ninomiya, I thought to myself, 'Maybe I can help you in some way,' so I came over without thinking."

'You bastard, you were definitely trying to pick me up!'

Ninomiya Sui took a sip of her drink to cover her embarrassment. Although she was single, she had never thought about developing a deeper relationship with this politician.

"Mr. Shenjing, your father-in-law is having a lively conversation with some important figures from the Federation. Won't you go and join them?"

Ninomiya thought she had made her meaning quite clear, but Shingo Fukai seemed not to have grasped her implication.

"Oh? But rather than exchanging pleasantries with the heads of those conglomerates, I'd much rather have a good chat with the hero who saved the Federation."

"Then the person you're looking for isn't me." Ninomiya Sui suppressed her agitation.

"A true hero..."

"Actually, I admire him."

Before Ninomiya Sui could finish speaking, Shingo Fukai said calmly, "Compared to you and Augustus, or even Nakazawa Chisuna who ran away early, I always believe that people are the most valuable people in the Seven Rings Tower."

"..."

"He truly lived up to expectations, saving the Seventh Ring Tower, saving you and me, and saving the Federation."

"Maekawa Kazuto is a hero, but he is not suitable to play today."

"If he's a hero, how can there be any talk of him being 'unsuitable'!" Ninomiya said indignantly.

"What is the purpose of our banquet today?" Shingo Fukai asked.

"Celebrating the dissipation of the Kuroshio Current."

"anything else?"

"There's...there's still..."

"And through this enjoyable feast, we can temporarily forget our fear of the chaotic creatures."

Shingo Fukai said calmly, "You know what Kazuto Maekawa looks like now. If he were to appear, he would only serve to constantly remind everyone present how terrifying chaos is, without having any other effect."

"..."

Seeing that Ninomiya Sui remained silent, Shingo Fukai casually changed the subject: "By the way, that little girl, I heard that she's being watched by two super strong individuals?"

"That's right, it seems she's going to the Heavenly Fire Sect for some business, and two super strong experts are accompanying her."

"...Can you tell me about her?" Shingo Fukai suddenly asked.

"Bubble?"

"Well, it doesn't mean anything by it, I'm just a little curious."

"She, she is a very special child."

Ninomiya Sui pondered for a moment: "How should I put it? Although Bubble is friendly to everyone, that's about it."

"Aside from her sister who passed away long ago, probably no one else could hold a special place in her heart."

Ninomiya said with great emotion, "Kazuto, Masumi, Augustus, and many other people say she is a good girl."

"Of course, she is indeed a good girl."

"But Bubble, this good child, is actually a very cruel good child. Because no matter how much you give or how good you are to her, you can never truly enter her heart."

"..."

"Miss Ninomiya has insightful views, but I also have a few immature thoughts."

"Ok?"

"Isn't the idea of ​​truly getting to know someone's heart a bit too extravagant?"

Ninomiya Sui was taken aback, looking at the senator with a puzzled expression.

"God loves the world."

"But this love is equal love."

"If you think that loving God will make God love you even more, isn't that absurd?"

Section 334, Chapter 333: Equivalent Exchange

"...Lord Fukai, you truly have unique insights."

Ninomiya Sui stared at the senator in astonishment, never expecting him to compare the little girl to a 'god'.

"Ah, actually I majored in theology in college, so I unconsciously want to explain some things from a theological perspective."

Shingo Fukai sighed, "If my lover's father hadn't been Lord Edward, I might have taken a different path now."

"I see, no wonder."

Ninomiya nodded, then lowered her voice: "Lord Fukai, I have a question..."

Seeing Ninomiya Sui's hesitation, Fukai Shingo guessed, "Is it related to her?"

Ninomiya nodded: "Although the Black Tide has subsided this time, the Federation has not fundamentally solved the problem."

"I understand what you mean, there's no need to worry."

Shingo Fukai smiled and said, "We've found something very interesting about that little girl's background."

"Hmm?" Ninomiya Sui immediately showed a curious expression.

The Seven Ring Tower had investigated the little girl, but aside from sensing something amiss about the orphanage fire, they hadn't obtained any other valuable information.

It now appears that the lawmakers have made a new discovery.

"We can't tell you the details right now, but we already have a plan."

Shingo Fukai calmly said, "The Federation is too small a pool. The oldest and most powerful nation is where the true god displays his majesty."

"..."

Well, Ninomiya Sui still couldn't quite accept Shingo Fukai's mystical way of speaking.

However, the oldest and most powerful nation? Apart from the Kingdom of Sein, Ninomiya Sui couldn't think of any other country that deserved that title.

So, is Bubble's background related to Saine?

"Shingo, no wonder I couldn't find you anywhere. So you were hiding here having a date with a beauty!"

A drunken voice rang out, and Ninomiya Sui immediately frowned.

“Lord Fernand.” Shingo Fukai greeted him with a smile.

"Come, come, stop keeping your little beauty company. Lord Edward was just talking about you."

Fernand's voice was loud, and many people couldn't help but look over.

"You're wrong about one thing."

Just before Ninomiya Sui was about to erupt, Shingo Fukai said calmly, "Miss Ninomiya is beautiful, but the term 'little beauty' is not suitable to describe her."

"Hahaha!" Fernan patted his right shoulder hard, emboldened by the alcohol.

"Sorry, sorry, calling her a 'little beauty' is a bit too frivolous."

"Sigh, it's all because you guys were in such a good mood that I, hiccup, accidentally made a joke that wasn't very tactful."

"Your Excellency Fernand should be more careful in the future."

"Haha, I know..."

"After all, while you and your family were preparing to seek refuge abroad, this Miss Ninomiya was risking her life to save the Federation."

"..."

"Young man, you can't just say things like that."

Fernand's expression hardened; he was no longer the drunkard he had been moments before.

"Nonsense?"

Shingo Fukai pointed to the people around him who were listening intently. "You know in your heart whether it's just talk or not, but I don't want to spoil everyone's mood on such a joyous day."

"Hmph, if you don't give me an explanation today, even if we're both councilors, I..."

Fernand choked for a moment as he saw Shingo Fukai take out a photograph from his pocket, which showed him, his wife, and daughter boarding the private jet together.

A commotion erupted around them, and everyone stared at Fernand in astonishment.

"Fake, fake!" The man's face flushed red.

"Whether it is true or false can be determined by authoritative institutions."

Shingo Fukai shook his head. "I don't want to argue with you here. Please leave."

He gestured for him to enter.

"……snort!"

Fernand let out a cold snort and stormed off.

"Everyone, please don't let us spoil your mood. Enjoy this pleasant evening to the fullest."

As soon as the councilor spoke, the surrounding people immediately resumed their previous cheerful laughter.

On the surface, everything seemed normal, as if nothing had happened.
